Mudblood
Chapter 2
Summary: Draco and Hermione are in their 5th year, they, of course hate each other. But what will happen when Professor Snape pairs them together to work on a project? Will sparks fly? Or will they end up killing each other? Like I said I suck at summaries!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything J.K. Rowling already does.
Rating: PG-13 for language, mature themes, and mild references to sex. (haha its going to take me a long time to get there!)
A/N: Hello sorry about the first chapter, I'm still new to all this so I had trouble editing it! Lol I noticed a bunch of mistakes but couldn't figure out how to correct them! Oh well. Anyways I think this chapter should be better, and longer, I'm trying also to make things funny. Anyways I would love it if you would REVIEW! kisses and cookies, Firefly
Hermione waved goodbye to her parents as she boarded the train to Hogwarts with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, her two best friends. To her surprise she had found out that Ron had made the other Gryffindor prefect. She had thought for sure that it would be Harry, not that she didn't want it to be Ron, but Harry seemed more likely to be the candidate for it, with him being famous and all. Harry had undergone a big change since their last year, when he had seen the dark lord return and kill. He was a lot quieter and his temper was always at bubbling point. Sometimes she or Ron would simply suggest something and he would snap at them.
"I wonder how Harry feels about all of this?" she thought to herself. Ron suddenly pushed her playfully.
"Come on Mione! We don't have all day you know!" He whined.
Hermione snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Ron bewildered.
"Uh, earth to Mione?" Ron waved a hand in front of her face "We still have yet to find a compartment, you know! Plus my arms are sore from holding this trunk! Let's get a move on, girl!"
"Er. . .yeah right." She said slowly to Ron.
"It seems Hermione has forgotten that we're her best friends, doesn't it Harry?" Ron joked.
Harry, who Hermione noticed had been quiet so far, looked up and smiled "Sure Ron." Was all he said.
The three of them ended up finding a compartment and pushed their trunks on to the rack above the seats. Harry had put his owl away in a corner along with Ron's and was now covering the cages with a blanket. Hermione decided to let her cat go free and roam.
"You better not let that ball of fur roam around Granger, you never know, it's so stupid it could actually find a way off the train and kill itself." A cold voice drawled from the compartment door, and muffled laughter after it. Hermione knew who it was right away.
"Well, if it isn't King Malfoy the bouncing ferret!"she said in what would be a normal tone.
Malfoy and his two brainless body guards stopped laughing. His pale face turned to stone as he glared at Hermione.
"Don't call me that." He said, and then added with a voice like venom, "Mudblood"
If it wasn't for Harry and Ron, Hermione would have just punched him right there. She hated that word, every time Malfoy said it, she felt like she was being pierced by daggers. He was not about to know that though, she kept her face emotionless, a skill she had mastered after being called a crybaby in first year. Before she got a chance to even defend herself, Ron had already "come to the rescue."
"Don't call her that! You. . .you. . .stupid prick!" Ron shot out at him
"Oh yeah Weasley, what are you going to do about it?" Malfoy drawled, smirking then he went on to insult Ron, "Are you going to hire a hit man to hurt me?" He asked. "Awwww to bad though, judging by the fact you don't even have a decent pair of robes, I don't think you could afford one." He said in mock pity.
Ron turned magenta and lunged at Malfoy, Harry grabbed his robes just in time, as Crabe and Goyle started cracking their knuckles.
"I don't think that your hit men are much better Malfoy," Harry said, "In fact they are so brainless that I don't think they could even through a proper punch."
"Oh really Potter, want to try?" Malfoy threatened
Just as they were about to go at each others necks, one of the new prefects entered the compartment, Hermione guessed she was from Ravenclaw.
"Um," she said looking a bit scared at the looks Malfoy, Ron and Harry were giving each other, "I was, um, told to come get Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Draco Malfoy, and ask that they report to the front of the train for a briefing meeting with the prefects." She finished quickly, looking around nervously.
"I'll meet you two in our compartment." Malfoy said to Crabe and Goyle as they left.
It was then that Hermione noticed he had a prefect badge pined to his chest.
"Great," she thought, "Just great, more time with Malfoy is just what I need."
Ron's reaction on the other hand was slightly different. "You're a. . .a. . ."
Hermione was wondering why he was having such a problem stuttering today.
"Yes Weasley, I am a prefect, you know P-R-E-F-E-C-T, or is that a new word to your pathetic vocabulary?" Malfoy questioned.
Ron just stood there gapping at him like a fish as Malfoy left the compartment.
"Ron, close your mouth before you catch a fly, we better go." Hermione said stressfully. "Harry, we'll be back as soon as we can get out of there ok?" she looked at Harry as if asking if it was ok if they left. He simply nodded.
The compartment in the front of the train was dead silent, too silent. Ron and Malfoy were glaring daggers at each other and everyone else was just too afraid to speak. Hermione studied the people around her. There were the Slytherin prefects, none other than Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Hufflepuff's prefects were Hanna Abbot and Erine McEllen, two people which Hermione didn't mind. Ravenclaw's were a girl by the name of Maria Eller, who Hermione had never met, and Roger Davis. Then there was her and Ron. Just as Hermione was wondering if they were going to get along, Professor Snape walked in.
"Good afternoon." He said shortly
A couple of them mumbled a good afternoon back.
"I believe that you already know what your duties are for this year, you keep other students in line, as well as yourselves; with that he looked directly at Ron and Hermione, you help with the first years, are in charge of student events, patrol the hallways at night, and you don not break any school rules; again he looked at Ron and Hermione as he said this. Dumbledor and the rest of the staff are intrusting that you will follow these duties and not use your privileges to their advantages.
"What privileges?" Ron mumbled under his breath.
Hermione had to asphyxiate (stifle-for those of you who have a vocabulary like Ron's) a giggle.
"And with that said, you will now receive your shifts for the hallways." Snape pulled out a piece of parchment, "The pairs have already been selected at random and you are not allowed to change them." He took a breath and read from the list, "The 8 p.m to 9 p.m shift will be Ms. Parkinson and Mr. McEllen, 9 to 10 will be Ms. Abbot and Mr. Davis, 10 to 11 will be Mr. Weasley and
"Please let me be with Ron!" Hermione prayed, "Please, please, please!"
Snape continued, "Ms. Eller."
"Damn!" Hermione cursed out loud, and then suddenly covered her mouth in shock.
Snape looked up and glared at her, "10 points from Gryffindor, Ms. Granger for cursing in front of a teacher."
Hermione turned crimson.
"Well then," Snape smirked, "that leaves us with none other than Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy with 11 to 12; I expect that you will all report to your duties tonight, you are dismissed." He finished as he left the room.
Everyone got up to leave at once that they all ran into each other. Hermione just happened to get rammed into Malfoy's chest, which felt like getting slammed into a brick wall.
"Watch where you're going, Mudblood." He snapped as he pushed her out of the way.
"Great, now I'm even more stuck with Malfoy then I thought I would be in the first place!" She angrily thought to her self as she drowned out Ron's plans to kill Malfoy for her.
"This is going to be one hell of a year." She thought as she heard Ron mutter, "Snape! What a git, I mean you could fry ten whole chickens with the grease from his hair!
