HERMIONE'S POV :

I stared at the window. My cheeks wet from tears. I couldn't believe how stupid I was! How on earth could I have broken down in front of Malfoy?! He'd think I was a sissy baby...
I gulped down my pain and walked out of the compartment, not really knowing where I'm heading to.
"Where are you going?" I heard Malfoy ask timidly behind me. I felt funny and couldn't help but smile to myself. Malfoy seemed afraid I'd cry again.
"Out." I answered, not bothering to face Malfoy.
"Oh...," He croaked. If I heard correctly, he sounded kind of sad. Was he sad I was leaving?
"I'll only be a while." I said, facing him. He seemed to brighten up a bit. Weird...
Numbly, I walked out of the compartment. The back of my neck felt hot from the time I spent with Malfoy. He made me feel weird inside... a feeling I've never felt before.
I walked around the train, wondering what the feeling was that I felt. Then...
OOF! I bumped into someone.
"Professor McGonnagle! Oh, I'm so sorry!" I said, not really meaning it. "Are you alright, Professor?"
Professor McGonnagle nodded. "Yes, yes. I'm quite alright, Miss Granger," She replied crisply. "Now, into the compartment. I expect you know you've become Head Prefect?"
I nodded in reply and followed the professor to the head compartment.

Once we reached the compartment, I walked in and took a seat beside Malfoy. I felt the weird feeling come back to me again. I could tell Malfoy felt uncomfortable too. He kept wriggling around in his seat and would blush each time I faced him.
"Alright, you two...," Professor McGonnagle said, looking at both of us in turn. "As Heads', it is your job to keep the students of Hogwarts in check. And as Heads' I expect you'll behave nicely and be model students...,"
I rolled my eyes. I hate these type of speeches. I can't believe I used to actually LISTEN.
McGonnagle cleared her throat. "Now... I hope that both of you have prepared a speech to give for your fellow prefects?" She asked.
"Yes, Professor," Me and Malfoy chorused.
McGonnagle gave us another nod and called in the rest of the prefects.
I gasped in surprise. HARRY?!

DRACO'S POV :

I glared at Potter from my seat. I don't know why, but right after what Hermione, I mean, GRANGER told me about Potter and Weasel, my hatred for them grew even deeper.
I glanced at Granger. I could sense her fear even behind the expressionless look on her face. I turned my view back on Potter and gave him another cold glare. He ignored me and took a seat with the other prefects. I frowned. How the hell could HE become prefect?!
"Professor?" I asked, raising my left arm and giving Potter another glare. "How did POTTER become prefect? Wasn't that spot meant for Clayton?"
Professor McGonnagle nodded (She seemed to do that A LOT!), "Yes, Malfoy. The spot WAS meant for Clayton, but there seemed to be a slight problem... you see... the Sorting Hat made quite a mistake. Clayton has been moved to the Hufflepuff house."
I cocked an eyebrow. The Sorting Hat made a mistake? I never thought that would happen. My mind wondered off a bit. If the Sorting Hat could make a mistake... could it be possible that Granger COULD be in Slytherin?? I shook the crazy thought out of my head. Mudbloods, no matter how their personality is, couldn't be in Slytherin! Still... it didn't hurt to hope so. Right?
I felt a tap on my left shoulder. I turned my head to the left and blushed hotly. "What is it, Granger?" I spat nastily, trying to cover up the weird feeling I felt around her.
Granger glared at me nastily. "Just so you'd know, it's your turn to give a speech...," She replied with as much nastiness as her glare. I felt a pang in my heart. I truly wished I didn't talk to her so meanly. Nevertheless, it's passed and there's nothing I can do about it.
I gave Granger a glare and stood up, ready to give my speech. All thru it, I glared at Potter. Great! Now both Weasel AND Pothead are prefects! Just my god damn luck! Why couldn't McGonnagle take someone else to be prefect?? It simply isn't fair!!
After the speech, I sat back down next to Granger and waited for her to give her's. Granger stood up and started.
"Prefects...," She announced. "It is good to see you, doing your duties... As for the new prefects, I hope you understand the important part we prefects do to keep our fair school in check...,"
I stared up at her. I knew what marvelous hair she had, even under her hood. If only she'd let me see it...
"Now I will read your duty schedule," She said, pulling out a piece of paper. "James and Summers, corridor...,"
Lovely lips. The colour she used is unique... not like those stupid sluts who always use pink or red. Ugh. Do they think guys like that colour?? They're dead mad...
"Weasley and Creevy, halls...,"
And those eyes... they were the most interesting thing about her... I can't believe I've never noticed it before... she had enchanting orbs for eyes. A beautiful deep brown... If you look close enough, you could see the little sparks of gold...
"Drakie, dear?" A horrible high pitched voice cooed behind me. I cringed. Not Pansy again!
"What?!" I growled thru gritted teeth. I hated that *****.
"What are you staring at? Why aren't you staring at me Drakie Poo?? Aren't I your Sugar Dumpling?" She asked in what's supposed to be suductive. Gross!
I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore her. Damn was it hard! She kept playing with my hair and whispering yukky words.
I looked up at Granger. I hope she didn't see this! She'd think I was WITH Pansy! That's the last thing I want. Ugh!
Thank god though, she didn't see me. She was too busy with her speech. Every once in a while I'd see her stare blankly at Potter. Potter would stare blankly back at her. I don't get it!! She says that the Wonder Duo had hurt her, but by the look in Potter's eyes it seemed that she had hurt him aswell! AM I MISSING SOMETHING?!
I got sick of glaring at Potter. He ignored me the whole time and he looked as empty and miserable as Granger. Instead I turned to Weasley. Damn was that a surprise! All I could see on his face was hatred, anger and disgust. He wasn't glaring at me though, instead he was glaring at Pothead and Granger. Something's going on between these three...
And I'm going to find out.

HERMIONE'S POV :

I finished my speech and took my seat. I stared sadly at Harry. I missed him... but what could I do? They broke my heart and spat shit at it. And to think, I was in love with him...
Harry always made me feel good. The way he used to save me when danger came, or when he caught me when I fell... Sometimes I just want to go up to him, apologize, and snog him for 3 hours... Infact, I always wanted to do that. I still do. But, after what he's done to me, I feel it's impossible. Love is impossible. I was a fool to ever believe it could happen... Only weaklings fall in love...

~Flashback~

I walked into the Gryffindore common room with a determined look on my face. Tonight was the night. The night I told Harry what I've felt for him for all these years.
I saw him sitting there by the fireplace. The light of from the fire gleaming infront of him. Everything looked and felt so right just then. Ron and I had a huge fight and for the very first time, Harry stook up for me. ME! I couldn't believe it!! He helped me through my hard time, and for that I loved him.
"Harry?' I asked timidly behind him.
Harry didn't answer. Instead there was some type of muffled sound. It was the familiar sound I heard each time Ron was making out with Lavender. It was the sound of kissing.
I stopped immediately in my tracks. My skin paled.
"Oh. Hey, Hermione." Harry said, turning towards me sounding rather panicked. On his lap was Cho, lying there with smeared lipstick and looking as pretty as ever. I felt like KILLING her. "Y-you won't tell on us, will you...?" Cho gave a shrilly laugh, all slutty and b****y like. "Ofcaurse not, Harry love!" She said. "Hermione's a GOOD girl! She'd NEVER do anything like that! For god's sake, Harry love! All she does is stick her nose in a book all day!"
I felt my eyes water. I turned my back on Harry, tears dripping down my cheeks. I slowly walked away, ignoring Harry's desperate cries to stop. My simple walks changed into faster paces and I ran like my life depended on it. What I didn't know was, from that moment on, everything turned to hell.

~End flashback~

I felt my eyes water again. S**t! This was the second time today! I couldn't let anybody see me like this. Especially not Harry. I muttered a simple pain-loss charm (A/N: I made that dumb charm up!) and my my heart felt a little lighter than before. The pain-loss charm is one of the most used charms I've used this passed few months. That and the Locked Heart charm. It was so very handy when any feeling whatsoever came my wat. These charms, spells and curses I'm using may be dark magic, but it was the only thing keeping me alive...
Yes, that's right. I'm living through the Dark Lord's power.

DRACO'S POV :

4 hours passed since the prefect meeting. I felt bored to death staring out the window. It was so damn quiet in here. Sure I tried making small talk with Granger, but all she'd answer is, "Yes", "No", or the ever loving "Snort". I was getting sick of it.
Every once in a while I'd think of walking out the conpartment, but I DIDN'T want to get attacked by a mad herd of raving mad fan girls. Ugh! How could I even think that!
"I'm bored...," I said outloud, hoping somebody would do something about it.
Granger snorted. Pfft... That wasn't the type of reply I was hoping for. Just like her to snort at me. Had she no shame? She was snorting at me! Draco Malfoy! Most girls would go mad if I snorted at THEM!
"Mudblood." Wonder what she's going to reply this time! Hah! Take that Granger! Am I annoying you?
"Typical, Malfoy." Granger said in a monotone. "Really typical."
...? Not the answer I expected. Oh, well. Third time's the charm! "Honstly Granger. Can't you say anything other than those simple sentences? What's wrong? Cat's got your tongue? Or is your brain to small to think of anything more intelligent?" I knew that question was dumb. Granger has one of the biggest brains in history. But still, it would be interesting to find out what Granger would reply.
Granger gave a cruel laugh. "You know Malfoy, that's sad. Even for you!" She turned towards me and smirked. "Come on! Try again! Let's see what you've got Malferret!"
I smirked back at her. Ooo... She wanted a challenge, eh? Well she must be out of her mind! I've had ages of practice teasing and picking on every sick loser. I guess I'm not going to be very bored after all! "Well, well Granger! You speak!" I said, out-smirking her.
She made an even bigger smirk. More better, crueler and seductive. The kind of smirk you get when you've chopped the head off your enemy. I've only done that once or twice before in my life. By accident. I couldn't believe how SHE could do that just to beat me. I laughed, realizing what a stupid game we were doing. The "Who Has The Better Smirk Game" game!
"What?" She asked, looking at me in confusion. "Lost your already lost mind, Malfoy? Laughing at nothing?"
I laughed harder. It was ironic how she made sarcastic jokes out of me even when she's in a bad mood.
Granger raised a brow, still confused. I chuckled. She looked cute like that. It wasn't everyday you see Granger confused. I liked it.
"Umm... Hello? Earth to Stupid?" She said, waving a hand infront of me. "Are you alright? Malfoy? Malfoy? Hellooo...!"
I couldn't stand it. She looked so cute and innocent that way. Without thinking, I pulled her close to me and kissed her on the lips. At that exact moment, all time stopped, the earth didn't rotate, the sun paused, water didn't flow... nothing came to mind except Hermione. I didn't even care about saying her first name. Infact, her name was the most wonderful thing in the universe. I could just scream it to the world. Hermione, Hermione, Hermione, HERMIONE!!!
Then... It ended. The earth moved, the sun set, the water flowed... Everything went back to normal. Granger pulled off, and we ended the kiss.
We were silent again. I was blushing madly, something I rarely do. I couldn't look at Granger. That girl's done something to me... Blushing, Kissing... I couldn't even put the words Granger and mudblood together! (Yes I've just said it, but it was separate)
Then it hit me. Oh, god! I LIKE HERMIONE GRANGER!!

A/N : Hey! It's mastercreater here (Hannah). How do you like Chapter two? It took A LOT of energy to finish it. And it's ONLY 5 pages!! Oh, well. Please review and tell me what you think!!

PS: Don't comment me on my grammer and spelling. I forced myself into doing this for you!
