Disclaimer-I'm just running out of ways to say i don't have anything.
Another thing....ya know that short attention span I shouldn't have? It caused me to get dates mixed up. I can update all this week. (I swear I'm not a dork!)
Thanx for the reviews..
'Dear Diary,
Today I'm going back to school, I can't wait to catch up with Harry and Ron. I heard that Malfoy's been getting better looking......the git. I can't believe he's still in Howarts. Well Mum's yelling at me to get packed. Who know's maybe he got uglier?
Hermi.'
'Dear Diary,
Draco did get cuter....drat and double drat. Professor McGonagall said that I'm going to be able to take advanced classes this year. I don't know if I should do it though. I mean I haven't seen Harry or Ron in what seems like ages. Should I do it? I don't know. McGonagall approached me today about tutoring over winter holiday. I'm so excited. Who could I possibly get though? I hope it's no one from Slytherin. It's like they all have it out for me. But I guess I shouldn't be too worried about it. Most of them go home during break to do God know's what with their families..........'
"Mr. Malfoy! Do you realizes it's time for lunch?" McGonagall said from behind Draco, who was sitting in courtyard, reading Hermione's diary.
He'd just started reading it. There wasn't anything to good in there, except his name kept popping up in it.....interesting. He tried to ignore the woman but she was now looking over his shoulder.
"Sorry Professor. I must have gotten caught up in my thoughts." he said quickly closing the book and shoving it under his robes.
'Why couldn't that woman mind her own business. You don't see Snape doing thing's like that. Ow...that edge is sharper than I thought.' Draco thought, wincing.
"Yes well, I expect you to be in the great hall. Everyone who stayed behind should be eating together. You'll get to know different houses."
Draco looked at McGonagall and smiled....what he called a smile, she must not have taken it that way. He had no choice. He got up and walked to the great hall and took a seat at the small table in the middle of the floor. He looked around to find the house table's had been pushed to the walls. He wasn't even hungry, why was he here. He turned to go and almost ran into McGonagall.
"Please have a seat, Draco." Dumbledore said, sweeping his hand towards the empty chairs, when Draco turned around to face the table. Not to draw attention to him or anything. he tought glumly.
"Thank you." he mumbled.
He hated this. He wanted to be home right now. If only his mother was home. His father was God knows where, actually that wasn't a bad thing. he didn't really care for him. His plan for winter was going home and spending time with his nannies and mother, at least that's what they were untill McGonagall told him he had to be tutored.....the stupidest thing in the world if you asked him. Looking around the table he saw only eight other students, Granger, Potter, Weasel, Longbottom, two Hufflepuff's, and two Ravenclaw's. He was the only Slytherin. Great......even better.
"Hermione, pass the bread." Ron said, getting her attention.
"Here." she said shoving the basket towards him.
"Hermione.....shouldn't you eat something?" Harry asked from her other side.
"Yes....I suppose." she sad, grabbing a piece of chicken, two cookies, and a plate full of mashed potato's.
"Hungry are you, Granger?" came that slow drawl from across the table.
"Harry, have you seen my Spell book?" She asked, turning away from the voice. He couldn't keep his mouth shut! Even with teachers there.
"Um....I think I saw it on a chair in the common room." Harry answered her before finishing his plate.
"Thanks."
Hermione began to eat her food, but stopped when she was half done, with a spoonful of potato's halfway to her mouth.
'He's staring at me.' she thought, before glancing across the table. Sure enough, Draco was staring at her from across the table. He'd already finished his food it seemed, but was sticking around.
"What?" she asked, putting her spoon down.
"Nothing." he mumbled before backing his chair out and walking out of the hall without a backwards glance.
Hermione looked down at her plate and wasn't hungry anymore.
'What is he up to?" she asked herself. She didn't know what but something was odd about him.
Maybe he did read her diary......no he couldn't have. The whole school would be posted with excerpts, she reasoned. But maybe he did. He looked at her with half a smile with she had looked up. Maybe he found out how she felt about him. She definitely wasn't hungry now. She pushed her plate away and got up from the table....she was right....wasn't she. Even he wouldn't read her diary.
"Hermione?" Harry asked.
"What?"
"Where are you going? You haven't finished?" Harry said looking down at her plate's, then back up to her.
"I'm not very hungry anymore. I'll see you in the common room." she said, giving a weak smile and walking out.
She saw Draco, sitting on the step's, when she walked out.
"What are you doing?" she asked before she could stop herself.
Draco jerked his head up and around to look at her, then smirked. "Nothing." he answered standing up, closing a book and walking down the step's to the ground floor. He shot a smile up to her before disappearing down a corridor.
What was he up to?
Enjoy!!!!
