Now we begin...

"Hello?" said someone in Hermione's ear.

Hermione looked up and saw a boy from Gryffindor. She didn't remember his name or anything but she knew his face and stuff like that. She leaned up more and brushed the hair off her face to get a clearer view around her.

"Hmm?" She mumbled.

"It's time for Dinner. Want to come with me?" he said.

"Oh, okay." Hermione got up and walked with him.

They got to the Great Hall a few minutes later and he told her to sit at Gryffindor even though she wanted to sit at Slytherin because it would have been better. If she didn't know better she could have sworn Draco was on the other side staring at her and watching every moment she did.

The boy introduced himself as he sat down. He said his name was Gil Richmond. Hermione had a feeling he knew her name. Ron and Harry were right in front of her. When Gil left to go to the bathroom the both of them sat next to her.

"Hermione... I'm so sorry." Harry and Ron apologized.

"Don't say it to me. Say it to Malfoy. You know, Draco Malfoy." Hermione raised her eyebrows at them. "You nearly bashed him."

"'Mione why?" Ron whined.

"He's my friend you know." Hermione told them.

Draco overheard that and smirked to himself. He leaned in to hear anything else that was interesting like what Hermione just said. Harry burst out laughing then Ron. Hermione stared at them and rolled her eyes.

"What?" She asked.

"Malfoy won't befriend Mudbloods"-Hermione winced-"he even said so." Ron laughed, but seriously.

"Your calling me a Mudblood?" she narrowed her eyes on him.

"No he's not!" Harry smacked Ron behind Hermione's back.

"I consider him a friend. I could careless if he doesn't think the same." she went back to her food.

"Okay." Ron said getting up along with Harry.

They just walked out of the Great Hall not even bothering to apologize to Draco. Hermione rolled her eyes and noticed Gil came back. Neville was trying to practice this charm and it backfired in his face.

Something hit water and splashed right over Hermione. She stood there wet with her eyes closed and her mouth open. She huffed and stood up. She wiped her face and looked at Gil.

"Hmm, let me take off that rag. You can wear my extra cloak." Gil said taking off Draco's robe.

Gil pulled his wand out and made the robe burn. He threw it away. Draco glared at him. Hermione bit her lip. Gil put that cloak on her and put an arm around her. Hermione winced a little feeling awkward.

"Did anyone ever tell you, you have the most beautiful eyes?" Gil smiled bringing her close.

"No." Hermione blushed slightly.

"Well I think you do. Your lovely face...." Gil went on and on.

Hermione blushed more. They walked out of the Great Hall. Gil put his arm around her the whole way with Draco on his tail. She went in Draco's dormitory and took a shower. She came out of the bathroom with new robes and saw Gil in there.

"You know this isn't my room. Draco might come in here..." Hermione told him.

"I know but I just wanted to say goodbye." Gil stood up and kissed her cheek.

He went off grinning and left Hermione standing there. From the window... Draco was on his broom glaring. Hermione went to bed a few minutes later. She woke up with classes to go to.

She didn't see Draco in bed or in the bathroom. She walked out of the room and didn't see him in the Common Room. She shrugged and went off to her class. Draco was on the far side of the room.

She was close to the door. Hermione was partnered with Gil and he was smart as her too. He already knew what to do so him and Hermione were already settled. Draco was watching them half of the time so he didn't get done with what he was doing. He got detention at an earlier time.

"Professor, I can't go to detention." Draco said.

"That's what they all say." He said.

"I can't go. I need to do something important." Draco bit his lip.

"Yes, finishing up your work is important. Do it. No excuses." He told him.

Draco glared and did what he was told. Hermione went to Dinner with Gil again and everything went great. He told her how beautiful she looked. That made her feel special and melt. She really started to like him.

Even though she didn't really know much about him. Gil knew a lot about her in some sort of weird way. She just ignored it and went along with anything he did. He was really nice to her unlike other guys.

Most of them thought they were better then her and thought she was some boring study all day person when she really wasn't. Yeah she might have studied a lot but it was for a good cause.

She didn't want to fail in anything and not get anything right so when the time came she would know how to do it. Gil understood that and didn't mind her ranting on how guys are like to her.

All that mattered to her that he liked her for who she was and that he listened to her. Everything that Hermione knew, he knew. It was like he did everything she did and sometimes she felt like he could read her thoughts.

Hermione soon forgot about Draco because she rarely ever saw him and he got out of bed before she did. He always had something to go. Or something to do, that seemed important. She didn't really mind though, it seemed like she would be having a boyfriend soon.

Her dreams would be coming true. Gil had to be the right guy for her, even though they barely knew. Hermione wondered when the program would stop so she could go to her original Common Room and bed.

She started to miss Ron and Harry. Hermione didn't get much chances of talking to them or even hanging out with them. Not like she really thought about that. She sighed to herself.

"Is she doing that on purpose?" Ron asked looking at Hermione talk to Gil at Dinner.

"Who and what?" Harry looked at Ron confused.

"Hermione, is she ignoring us on purpose?"

"Maybe. I don't think so though."

"She hangs out with him too much."

"I see her talk with him too much, even in class, which isn't really like her."

"Something isn't right..."

"She can handle herself, Ron."

"I know but maybe she doesn't notice she's doing those things."

"Of course she notices that!" Draco said behind them.

Harry and Ron both got startled. They both turned around to see who it was. Harry glared at him.

"I have a bad feeling about him." Draco gritted.

"Jealous?" Ron grinned.

Draco punched him in the arm. "No. I just think he's going to do something..."

"That's what I'm thinking." Harry sighed.

"Why won't you both do anything!?" Draco growled.

"It's her life... She can do what she wants..." Ron sighed with Harry.

"She's going to get hurt, I know it!" Draco narrowed his eyes at them.

"She has been avoiding us and not answering us. What are we supposed to do?" Harry asked.

"Try to talk to her. If she gets hurt. I'm going to hurt you both." Draco walked away.

Hermione ate a few things and listened to what Gil was saying. He said everything like it was so easy. Seemed to be, actually. Hermione giggled at what Gil said. "Yeah I suppose so."

"Really, no one thinks the same as what we do."

"Yeah." she answered.

"This Hogsmeade weekend, let's go out." He told her.

"Sure." She smiled.

"I heard there's a dance there. It sounds really great." Gil told her grinning.

"Ooh really? That would be good." She said.

"Get a good night sleep. I'll be there to dance with you all night long." He winked and left her there smiling.

"Hermione, can we have a word with you?" Harry went in front of her across the table.

"Oh, sorry. I have to go." Hermione said getting up.

Hermione went to look for Padma and as if she could borrow one of her dresses for the dance. It took her a while until she could get one that actually looked good on her. Padma had to make her try out a lot of dresses she had.

It took a few hours but Hermione knew it was going to be worth it. She couldn't wait until the dance. Gil and her were getting closer and closer everyday which she really liked. Padma told her that she would let her borrow some of her make up too!

"You really look good in the blue one, Hermione!" Padma grinned.

"I do?" Hermione said looking at herself in the mirror.

"Of course you do! It brings out your eyes and everything." Padma said.
