Chapter 2: Train Conversation
(sry if the chapters are so short, i'll try to make longer ones)
Hermione stepped out of the car and wondered what Draco wanted with her. Draco promptly took Hermione's hand and pulled her into the prefect car. In the prefect car, none can see in, hear what is going on, or unlock the door unless you are a prefect. Hermione promptly sat down on one side of the car, thinking Draco would sit on the other. But he didn't; he sat right next to her, and faced her. Slightly startled by this she warily said, "Ok Draco what do you want? If it's about prefect stuff, then we should wait for Ron and Cho and --" She was cut off by Draco's hand over her mouth. "Hermione -- I'm not here to talk about prefect stuff…" His eyes seemed soft, and his voice was not so cold. He wanted to say to the mudblood that he liked her -- maybe even loved her. But it could never happen -- she was a Gryffindor and he a Slytherin -- if they did fall in love, their relationship would be met with a terrible fate. Hermione noticed Draco had blanked out, and placed her hand on his wake him. "Hey are you ok?" Startled, Draco pulled his hand away and snapped at her, "Of course I'm fine mudblood! Why wouldn't I be?" He saw the hurt look on Hermione's face and almost immediately started to apologize. "Umm Hermione…" He said in a soft, almost truly meaningful voice, " I'm sorry for being such a bastard -- sorry -- jerk. I really don't mean it when I call you a mudblood… I'm really sorry Hermione." At first Hermione looked into his eyes and saw sincerity, but then she looked at who she was talking to and blew up in his face. "HA!" Hermione laughed, "Since when have you ever had heart enough to say something like that? It sounds like a bold face lie!" Draco was astounded and hurt by Hermione's words, but slightly expected them. Hermione stood up and glared at Draco, not knowing that what he said would change her life forever, and stomped out of the car.
