Disclamier- I own none of the characters...if i did you'd be reading this in a paperback or hardcover edition.

Thanks sooo much to SwTnDrEaMyPnAy03 and Burnsybabe for the reviews.

"Hermione what is your problem? You've been pacing every since you got back from the meeting with McGonagall." Ron asked from a chair beside the fire, studies obviously forgotten long ago.

"Do you know how horrible it is?" she asked him closing her eyes.

"What is so horrible?" Harry asked from the seat opposite of Ron.

"I'm a tutor....." Hermione started.

"Oh how horrible for you. I mean you've wanted it for so long and they finally make you one." Ron interrupted her, rolling his eyes and looking back to the fire.

"If you'd have let me finish you would have heard who I have to tutor!!" she exclaimed, sitting down at a table that was covered with papers.

"Come on, Hermione, it's not like you have Malfoy or anyone. You are tutoring for Muggle Studies." Ron said before a yawn.

"But that's exactly it Ron. I have to tutor Malfoy for two hours a night, three nights a week. Harry you did this paper all wrong, you know. Mandrake root doesn't go into the potion., and it's not an over night potion, you're supposed to be able to do it in an hour." Hermione said after studying the papers closest to her.

"Hermione....aren't you supposed to be worrying about Malfoy right now?" Harry said as he stood up and came over to the table.

"You really should re-write the paper Harry." Hermione said as she watched Harry gather up all the papers within reach and move them to a different table.

"I'm only trying to help you Harry!" she said when her rolled his eyes at her.

"Ron you might want to move you're papers too. She's within wand reach of them." Harry warned as he went to sit back down.

"Thanks mate." Ron said as he struggled to get out of his chair. "Really Hermione, it's break. We have a while to get all of this done. You don't have to go around telling us what we did wrong from the start. You should just spread it out over the next two weeks or so and see how that goes." He added as he grabbed all his papers with one hand and shoved them into his bag.

"Lovely Ron. Not only are they probably wrong, but now their totally wrinkled. You're going to have to re-write them as well you know." She said, watching the process, wincing a little as he balled up the papers.

"Leave the tutoring to Malfoy."

"Aren't you guy's even going to tell me you feel sorry for me? I mean.... he hates me." Hermione said , getting frustrated at the response she was getting from her two best friends.

"Hermione. It's either you tutor Malfoy or McGonagall will never let you tutor again." Harry said sighing.

"Oh no.....what am I going to do?" Hermione said, to herself, as she gathered what little she had on the table and headed for the girls dormitory.

"She's completely gone off the deep end." Ron muttered to Harry when she was out of hearing range. "Didn't I tell her that nothing good would come out of her doing this. I told her all along that she could get stuck with some thick git or worse Malfoy."

"Ron. I don't remember you telling me anything about Malfoy." Harry said staring into the fire.

Draco Malfoy laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about Hermione, no.....Granger. She looked so pissed off at him earlier. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as he thought. He got up and stumbled into the common room to look outside. It was still snowing, perfect. Oh well, he didn't have to go out in it. And if he did leave something he could just sent Crabbe out again. Maybe not Crabbe, he thought. When the big oaf had come back with too few roots when Draco sent him out around seven. He didn't even get back until seven thirty. It should have taken ten minutes tops.

He'd have a lot to think about tomorrow.

Alright that's the third chapter of the story, hope ya like it!!! thanx again for the reviews...keep 'em coming plz.
