2 weeks passed and neither Draco nor Hermione had spoken to one another, unless it was to bicker. It was right after field hockey/soccer practice, when they began to argue again.

"Will both of you PLEASE give it a rest already?!" Korimi half yelled at them, finally fed up. "You've been arguing for the past two weeks!" She said putting her bags in the trunk.

"Mind your own business Ivanov." Draco growled, also putting his things in the trunk.

"Seems like someone wants to spend the night in the barn." Korimi shot back.

"Malfoy can't you be pleasant for more than a minute?!" Hermione said.

Malfoy glared at he, and opened his mouth to retort, but Korimi cut him off.

"Don't even think about it blondie." She threatened. "Both of you get in the car and shut up." With that she got in the drivers seat and turned on the ignition.

With one last glare, Malfoy pushed past Hermione and got in the front seat. With a sigh, Hermione took the back, and they rode home in silence (with the exception of the radio).

They got to the house and Draco got out and stalked over to the front door, and opened it before slamming it shut behind him.

"What's with him?" Korimi asked, as her and Hemione got their things out of the trunk, and walked into the house as well. "I mean, I know he's an arrogant prick. But he's just simply in a bad mood."

Hermione shrugged, looking dully at the floor. "How am I supposed to know? It's not like we're friends or anything." With that, she began to walking upstairs. "I've got homework to do. Can you call me whenever dinner is?"

Korimi looked at her strangely before nodding. "Sure."

............----------.........

Draco sat at his desk, staring blankly at his chemistry homework.

'I can do potions, but not chemistry. They're practically the same thing!'

'I bet Hermione could help you. Why not-'

'You realize how unbelievably annoying you are?' He asked the annoying voice.

'I'm only annoying because you know I'm right.' The voice argued back.

Sighing, he closed his books deciding there was no way he was going to be able to concentrate on his homework, and he'd rather kiss Snape then ask Granger for help.

Finally deciding to go outside, he pulled on his shoes and walked out to the backyard. The sun was just setting, and there was a light breeze. Perfect fall weather. Draco loved the fall. He had no idea why, it just loved the way it felt. He walked across the yard, and to the pasture, where the horses were grazing. He also found horses fascinating as well. Not many people knew he liked horses, it was something he liked to keep to himself. He climbed the fence and sat on it, watching the animals, lost in his thoughts.

'You should apologize to Hermione you know.' The annoying voice returned.

'Will you give it a rest already?!' He was NOT in the mood to argue or even talk about Granger.

'No. Because you know I'm right. What can it hurt? Be friends with her for these 3 months, then once your back at Hogwarts act like nothing has changed.'

Draco didn't even bother to reply, he just jumped down from the fence, and into the pasture, before walking over to a dark brown bay, stroking his neck.

"You know. I never really saw you as much of a horse person. Blondie." A voice came from behind him. Draco scowled, he also SO didn't want to deal with Tala right now.

"What's it to you whether I like horses or not Ivanov?" He sneered, turning around, glaring at the redhead, who simply arched an eyebrow at him.

"Nothing. I was just making a simple observation blondie...anyway, I came to talk to you."

Malfoy narrowed his eyes. "About what?"

"Hermione."

Draco scowled at the sound of Hermione's name. "What about her/" He growled.

"Just curious as to why the two of you are fighting so much lately."

Malfoy rolled his eyes. "We always have and always will fight Ivanov, so get used to it."

Tala raised an eyebrow. "You seemed to get along ok the first week."

Draoc growled. "Mind your own business."

The redhead smirked. "I seemed to have pushed a button...now tell me why you two have been fighting so much because it's driving us all insane..." He paused. "Not that Bryan wasn't already insane...but that's not the point."

"It's none of your business."

"Unless you want to share a room with Hermione and share a bed, and all that good stuff then I suggest you talk."

Draco glared at him, he wouldn't put it past the redhead to do something like that. Finally sighing in defeat, Draco said, "Fine. Want to know so badly? She's a muggleborn, I'm a pureblood."

Tala raised an eyebrow. "So?"

Draco scowled. "So...she's a 2nd class mudblood! I'm a pureblood, and purebloods and mudbloods don't mix. It's as simple as that."

At this Tala scowled, he knew what it was like to be treated like scum because of who he was, but that was a whole other story, and he wasn't going to let Malfoy treat Hermione the way he was treated at the Abbey.

"She's human Malfoy, flesh and blood just like you."

"Dirty blood. "Malfoy muttered, Tala glared at him.

"I heard that. And just because you have no muggleborns in your family doesn't make you better. In fact, wizards would have died out if it hadn't been for muggleborns and half-bloods, so you have no right to badmouth them...they have magic running through their veins just like you do, and Hermione is one of the most powerful witches of the age, and she's muggleborn, Whereas Neville Longbottom I am told can barely transfigure a teabag!"

"How would YOU know anything about the wizarding world? You're nothing but a muggle." Draco shot back.

Tala raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't be to sure of that Malfoy." With that, Tala walked away leaving Draco to think about what he had said. Shrugging it off, he walked inside to take a shower.

He walked in and got his shower things before getting in. How could Tala say one thing and make him think so much

Things at Hogwarts were so much easier before Tala told him that. It was always so simple. Black and white. No gray areas. But now, things just seemed to make sense. Tala was right. What does blood have to do with anything as long as the person is good at magic?

He washed the soap out of his hair and turned off the shower, then wrapped a towel around his waist before stepping out of the bathroom, and seeing Hermione who was just coming out of her room. Her cheeks tinged the slightest pink before saying, "Finished Malfoy?"

He simply nodded, and walked into his room, closing the door.
