Chapter 4
Draco rubbed away the remains of sleep from his eyes and blinked as a ray of weak September sun broke through the heavy curtains. As he stretched out he felt something heavy on his chest. Picking it up he saw that it was the book he was reading the night before.
'I really should stop doing this' he said to himself as he folded the corner of the page and placed the heavy book on his bedside table.
As he forced him self out of bed he glanced at the clock and saw that it was 7o'clock. He had a whole hour before breakfast. He grabbed a fitted black t -shirt and a pair of jeans and walked into the bathroom to get ready for the long day ahead.
Hermione woke with a start, she'd been dreaming although now she didn't know what about. She pushed herself out of bed and something heavy landed on her foot.
"Shit!" She cursed, picking up the copy of Hogwarts a History II and putting it on her bedside table. Looking at her alarm clock she saw that it was 7:45. That left her fifteen minutes to get ready for breakfast.
"Shit!" She said as she grabbed a skirt and skinny tee from her wardrobe. Pulling on her skirt as she ran into the bathroom, she grabbed her wand and performed the spell on her hair that Lavender and Parvati had taught her on the train. Her hair transformed form being bushy and tangled, to long and rippling, falling down her back.
She splashed her face with water, and as she looked up from the towel she noticed Draco, standing in front of the mirror. He was wearing a black t- shirt that showed his muscular arms, and a pair of baggy jeans that hung low, revealing his boxers. Hermione shook herself mentally as she realised she was staring at him again. However the attraction left fairly quickly when she realised what he was doing.
Draco was practicing different scowls and expressions in the mirror, one in which was a sexy pout, (or what he thought was!) Hermione snorted, then realising that Draco would probably be really angry that she had seen him, left the room as quickly as possible, picking up her bag and leaving the common room, going down to the Great Hall.
'God I'm sexy' Draco told himself, as he looked at himself in the mirror, he pouted into the mirror, half closing his eyes. As he did so he heard a snort behind him, whirling around he saw Hermione run from the room. His cheeks gained a little colour but he managed to hide it quickly, he still had good control over his emotions. It was the one good thing his father had taught him.
'She better not say anything to Potter and Weasel.' He thought, checking his hair in the mirror one last time he grabbed his robes and wand and left for the Great Hall.
He walked quickly down the corridors, ignoring the yells of students that he pushed past. He was so intent on finding Hermione that he was not looking where he was going.
"Watch where your going Malfoy!" Harry spat, picking himself up off the floor.
"Likewise" Draco spat back, and then continued on his way, ignoring Ron's shout of "Ferret boy". Granger wasn't with them, it gave him a chance to speak to her, warn her.
He burst through the doors of the Great Hall and scanned the Gryffindor table for Hermione. He spotted her talking to the younger Weasley laughing at something.
'She bloody well not have told her' He said to himself as he walked up to her.
"Granger."
Hermione didn't turn round, but continued to talk to Ginny.
"Granger, Granger, for fucks sake Granger will you just turn round."
Hermione swung around in her seat and glared at Draco, taking this as an answer Draco began to speak.
"Don't you dare say anything to anyone, do you hear me."
"Don't tell anyone what?" Ginny asked leaning around Hermione and looking curiously at Draco.
Hermione blinked at him, fighting the smirk that she felt playing on her lips, deciding what to do. She liked the idea of Draco, the ice prince, being worried about his reputation and her having the power to control him. On the other hand it was Malfoy, the ice prince, she didn't want to end up hurt.
Remembering that she was supposed to be ignoring him, coz of his little comment the night before she turned around and continued to speak to Ginny.
Draco looked at the back of her head, slightly relieved that she didn't say anything, and yet he was angry. Hermione always had a way of getting under his skin, affecting his cool façade. This time she was ignoring him; this time she had the power. Her of all people had power over him.
He turned on his heel, and stormed over to the Slytherin table, grabbing his timetable and a piece of toast. Looking over his timetable he saw that he had double potions first thing, and with the Gryffindors to top it all off. The rest of the day was better ancient runes and muggle studies his favourite lessons. He looked up as Harry and Ron entered the hall, and sat down next to Hermione. As he watched them he noticed Hermione shoot a glare at him, and Ron hugging her. He glared at the Golden trio and left for the common room, to collect his bag. Hermione sighed as she made her way through the Entrance Hall to her common room. Double potions was not her idea of fun, especially as Snape had now developed a habit of pairing her with Pansy Parkinson.
She was so busy worrying about the lesson that she wasn't aware of where she was in the castle.
"Young Lady" she heard a voice call after her.
She whirled around and couldn't see the source of the voice.
"Over here dear"
Hermione suddenly realised where the voice was coming from. It was the portrait Professor Endora, Hermione smiled and thanked him.
"Anytime dear." The professor replied as he swung in letting Hermione into her common room.
Seeing the common room was empty Hermione took the opportunity to read by the fire, like she used to do in the Gryffindor common room. She sighed, she missed spending her time with Harry and Ron, and sharing her dorm with Lavender and Parvati. Wrapping her legs around her she settled in the armchair and began to read from where she left off.
"Ah Miss Granger, you finally decided to grace us with your presence."
"Sorry..."
"I don't want to hear any excuses Miss Granger, 10 points from Gryffindor." Snape interrupted "Over there by Mr Malfoy"
Hermione stood looking at him, "Malfoy"
"Yes, now or it will be more points."
Hermione stormed over to the desk in the corner, glowering at Snape.
"Calm down Granger, cut up this bezoar"
"Bezoar, but..."
"Its used for the reversal of potions, well if you actually got here on time then burying your nose in a book you would have known that we were making shrinking potions this morning. " Snape informed her, wearing a smirk similar to that of Dracos.
Hermione nodded and began to shred the bezoar in silence, Snape looking down his nose at her. Snape walked away, no doubt to look over Neville, who was sweating slightly, obviously terrified he would do something wrong.
"Tut tut Granger," Draco muttered, a smirk playing on his lips.
Hermione ignored him and began to shred the roots that were to be added next. Draco tried again.
"What would your parents think, their precious mudblood in trouble already"
Hermione breathing quickened, it took every once of her strength not to retaliate. This year it seemed harder than ever. Draco watched his effect on her carefully; the smirk that had been playing on his lips was now a full-fledged grin.
Draco continued to provoke a reaction from her, by the end of the lesson he was almost as annoyed as Hermione, she still hadn't reacted any of his comments. In fact she hadn't looked or spoken to him all morning.
'She's ignoring me, just like she said she would!' This annoyed Draco more than anything. He hated being ignored!
Just as Draco was about to throw another insult her way Snape called for the end of the lesson.
"Put your finished potions in the vials and place them on my desk, Hurry up now" Snape barked to the class.
As Draco ladled the dark blue liquid into the bottle, something occurred to him, if Granger was ignoring him she wouldn't be able to refuse to do anything he told her to, not without speaking to him anyway.
"Granger take this up to the desk now!" He instructed.
Hermione raised an eyebrow; there was no way she was going to take the vial up there.
"Why can't you do it Malfoy"
Draco stared at her in surprise; he hadn't expected her to break her vow of silence.
"Because, I told you to."
"And..."
"Just Do It Mudblood!" He shouted, 'GOD she is sooooo aggravating'.
Hermione was so angry, she had put up with his abuse for seven years. Draco was the only one who could make her blood boil; he was the only person she had ever hit, and she was about to do it again.
What happened next happened so quickly that Hermione was still uncertain how it happened some time on.
As she went to hit Draco her arm caught the vial and the shrinking potion flying across the room. As Hermione's hand made contact with Draco cheek, she gasped as she saw the potion hit Snape full in the face.
The whole classroom erupted with laughter as Snape's head shrunk to the size of a beetroot, and was soon matching the colour of one!
"MR MALFOY, MISS GRANGER HERE...NOW" Snape squeaked. "Class dismissed" He added.
Draco and Hermione glared at each other and walked up to the front through the crowd of giggling students to a fuming Snape.
"At least we know the potion works" Draco said to Snape as he waited for the classroom to empty.
"QUIET MR MALFOY, I expect more from the Head boy and girl, you are supposed to be mature, Detention, both of you!" His shrill voice rang in the now empty classroom; both Hermione and Draco were finding it hard not to laugh.
"Leave NOW" Snape squeaked as he left the dungeon, slamming the door.
"Nice one Malfoy"
"Me... it was you who knocked over the vile, all over his head." Draco snorted as he thought of Snapes shrunken head.
Hermione glared at him, resisting the temptation to laugh along with Draco. Picking up her bag she left the room to find Harry and Ron before her next lesson.
