PART 3-

You storm back to the leaky cauldron after the incident with Malfoy, and run up to your room. Shortly after Ron and Harry walk in slowly as if expecting you to scream at them. When you didn't they quickly said in unison. Look hermione, we didn't mean to upset you, but come on, Draco softening up! You could tell they practiced this as you nodded your head in agreement and they left the room.

After they left, you started to think...--I do wonder if Draco is softening. I mean...he hasn't not called me a mudblood forever. Well I guess last year could be counted…I do wonder though what it is inside of him that is stopping him. Maybe I'll talk to him about it. Maybe he is finally giving back the feelings I have felt for him since the first day of school. Yes, I am sorry to admit this to myself but I do, I have just kept a secret for so long I almost forgot. I mean how could I remember after all of the horrible things he has done to me…yes-I'll talk to him. But later, for now I need to forget about this--.

Fast forward to the burrow

Hey Ron...pass the syrup you say during breakfast one morning, Actually the morning after the one in Diagon alley. So have you given any thought to why Draco was so...well nice to you Harry asked nervously. Yes, actually, and I'm still stumped to why he didn't call me a mud--well, a you know what you lied quickly making it perfectly clear that you didn't want to talk about it. He must be going bonkers...I mean since when has he not called you a mudblood...oops sorry... Ron said clearly ignoring your sign. Its ok, I don't know really, he has always taken a liking to making fun of me, and I do wonder why he's stopping now. Well, lets change the subject so I can eat in peace, and we can find the answer to this mystery on the train. You sighed while stuffing a pancake into your mouth and chewing slowly.

The rest of your time at the burrow was excellent. Harry and Ron flew on their brooms while you pondered on the whole Draco thing.

Hmmm…I wonder if he likes me? Well of course I could never say that to Ron and Harry...but I mean think about it, he has always made fun of you but now he's not. Well, I mean it was only once; he'll probably go back to his normal self later...you'll see.

Fast forward to hogwarts express

Come on dears...you'll be late. Mrs. weasley said as you all leaned in and disappeared into the wall at platform 9 and 10 going through to see the gleaming scarlet Hogwarts Express at platform 9 3/4. You all received a big hug and kiss from Mrs. weasley before boarding the train and looking for a compartment.

Now of course, my father took care of him all right... you heard from the corridor as you, Harry and Ron settled in an empty compartment. A very familiar voice filled the air as Draco Malfoy drew nearer. --Oh great…-- you thought. Well...lets see who this is...hello there if it isn't potter and his...erm...gang

(Draco's thoughts)

Man you did it again. You're making it too obvious you think hermione is...no I don't! Get...out...of...head. Bad thoughts…bad thoughts, But wait, she does look good...no!!! (End Draco's thoughts)

Go away Draco; I can't stand looking at your face. Harry said with hatred in his voice. Oh but I was just strolling along looking for a compartment...and I happened to find you. Think about it, now why would I go looking for you, that would be absurd! Draco said with a sneer and walked out. Man I hate him!! Harry said as the train lurched forward, exiting the station.

Look you guys, I'm really sorry, but I need to go to that head boy and girl meeting. I wonder who to head boy for gryffindor is? You said to Harry and Ron. But I thought—Harry started. Oh yeah—I forgot, I'm the new head boy. But you can just tell me what happened later, I want to stay with Harry Ron said flinching as if waiting for you to holler at him. But you didn't, actually you were quite relieved, for you had wanted you have a word with Draco in private after the meeting.

ok well that's it for now—ill make the next one soon. Please review!
