I guess I could write another chapter for my fans (yeah, right) I know the other chapter was short, but I didn't want to drag it on forever. Thanks so much for reviewing! This chapter is totally dedicated to those of you who reviewed. Give yourself a pat on the back! On to the next chapter, after this important disclaimer:

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters in this story, J.K Rowling does. (Sigh) However, I do own (?) Venetta, Lucy.

She turned to face Draco.

' I have to show you were the great hall is.'

'Oh, that's all right, I could have gotten Snape or maybe Lucious to show me.'Hermione said mischievously.

She was surprised to see an almost jealous light in Dracos eyes, a second later, she knew she must have imagined it, since he spitefully said:

' Oh, I don't think so, a mudbloods not good enough for my father. Potter maybe, but not my father.'

Immediately, Hermione felt tears welling up in her eyes. ' What did you think? That he was going to get jealous, and confess his love to you? You know better!' she scolded herself.

Draco turned to face her, to say something else, but he saw the tears cascading silently down her cheeks and closed his mouth.

A second later, Hermione felt something soft being shoved roughly into her hands.

' Wipe your cheeks, you don't wants anyone seeing you like that.' she heard Draco say gruffly.

She wiped her cheeks with the silk handkerchief he gave her and put it in her pocket.

She saw Harry and Ron walking down the hall with a couple of people she recognized (from Harry's old photo's) as Lily, James and Sirius.

' Harry! Ron!' She exclaimed, totally ditching Draco as she ran to see her two best friends.

' Who are you?' Ron asked, confusedly.

' It's me, Hermione. The girl's in Slytherin gave me a ' makeover'.' Hermione said.

' Now you look like a… a…' Harry stumbled on the word.

' Slut?' Supplied Sirius, looking at Hermione interested in her.

' I guess so.' Harry mumbled.

Hermione shifted uncomfortably under the scrutiny of the four boys and Lily.

Apparently they liked what they saw, because they continued chatting among themselves.

' Hermione! Uh… WOW!' Ron said, a blush going from the roots of his hairline to his neck.

-

How dare she! Draco fumed. She ditched him for Weasel and Potter!

He strode forward and grasped her at the elbow.

' Listen, Granger, I believe the headmaster asked me to escort you to the Great Hall.' Draco said icily, glaring at Harry and Ron.

' Oh that's all right, Sirius here will escort me.' Hermione said airily, taking hold of Sirius's elbow.

Sirius grinned, obviously enjoying the game.

Draco watched them walk away, a faint frown on his face.

' What does she see in him?' He asked himself. ' She could do way better. For instance, she could have me.'

As he walked away, he muttered something that sounded very much like:

' Girls!'

Like it? I know, it took a long time. You musta thought I was dead, but I've been busy with other stories( ok, ok… only one other on, but oh well!)
