"Welcome class. You're in Defense Against the Dark Arts...once again." Professor Snape sighed, looking at the students disgustedly. "Today we will be working on an anti-immobilize spell. All of you BETTER pay attention or else it is not only ten points from your house but also detention. Now all of you get into pairs and I want one of you to immobilize the other by saying 'bondiosa'. When that is part is complete, I want the other to QUICKLY envision the bonds around their body being undone. In certain situations, wizards will not have time to TAKE their time. Got that? Good. Now begin." He drawled.
As the students started to get their partners, Harry walked quickly over to Hermione and asked her to be his partner. She glanced over at Draco only to see him working on homework for another class. "Harry, I can't. I'm so sorry." Without any further explanation, she walked over to Draco and put her hand on his desk.
Harry didn't bother to call or run after her, all he could do was stand rooted where he was and watch horrified as he saw her walk over to Draco. "The son of a bitch." Harry muttered under his breath.
"C'mon, Harry. Let's work on this. Gryffindor doesn't need ten points taken away and WE don't need detention." Ron laughed.
Draco was working on his homework for Divination when he saw a petite hand land on his desk. His gaze followed the hand all the way up the arm, strayed at the chest, but ended up at the face. "Oh...hi." He said looking back at his paper, all the while holding back a smirk. "What do you want?" He looked over to see Ron and Harry apparently working together. "Aren't you working with POTTER?" he acted as if Harry's name were poison.
She swirled her finger around on his desk. "He did ask me, but..." Hermione bent down so that her face was even with his. "Actually..." She set down his quill. "I was thinking of working with you."
Draco eyed her suspiciously. "Why? You've never wanted to before. Wait a minute, is it because of what happened in the library last night?"
Hermione looked down, "Well..."
"It was because of last night in the library, isn't it?" Draco smirked.
Hermione finally smiled and nodded.
Draco laughed. "I know I'm good."
Hermione smiled even more. "You have a nice laugh, did you know that? It wouldn't hurt you to use it more."
Draco looked at her and and stated coolly, "I'm sure I would once I got more reasons to. But as of right now, there are not too many reasons to. I never had too many reasons too." He looked around the room. "Too many pissing me off...too many people TO piss off."
Hermione pouted at him and stuck out her tongue. "Well, I'm sure if you laughed more, you would get more reasons TO laugh. You may be smart, but when it comes to common sense, the cards aren't exactly stacked up to your advantage."
Draco just shrugged, leaned across the table, and whispered, "Granger?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. 'My gosh, he kissed me so wonderfully last night, yet he still calls me by that terrible name!' "Yes?" She whispered.
"Do you know that class is over?" He snickered.
Hermione gasped as she looked around. Nobody was in sight. She had been so enthralled with her conversation with Draco; she hadn't paid attention to class. Hermione gasped again. 'SHE HADN'T PAID ATTENTION IN CLASS! SNAPE IS GOING TO KILL ME IF I DON'T KNOW THIS SPELL!' She thought frantically to herself. "Looks like I'll be doing extra homework." She sighed.
Draco bidding her farewell interrupted her thoughts. "Well, Granger, it's been fun missing class with you, but I really must get going." He said turning and heading towards the door.
"Malfoy!" Hermione yelled after him. He stopped just short of the door but never looked over his shoulder. "Number two is wrong. I'll be in my room all night if you need help." 'What are you doing?! You just invited Malfoy over! You idiot!' Hermione thought to herself.
Without any acknowledgment, Draco left Hermione alone and wondering. 'Well, the next move is his.' She thought as she went to fetch her books for her next class.
