"Well, well aren't we clumsy today?" Draco sneered at Hermione.
"You would know," Hermione said climbing to her feet.
"Listen Granger I don't have time for small talk," Malfoy said, standing straighter.
"What you have appointments for your little torture times now?" Hermione asked.
Draco clenched his fists tightly to his side but remained unmoving.
"I bet you even have one of those little black appointment books with your initials on the cover in gold," Hermione tempted.
'This will be so funny,' Hermione laughed to herself.
According to Hermione's predictions, Draco lunged at her. She quickly side stepped, leaving Draco in a heap on the floor.
"Tsk tsk, Draco, I thought you had more sense," Hermione laughed," than to mess with me."
Draco's vein's burned with heat as he sent daggers at her and told himself not to try to kill her. Finally he pulled himself and brushed off his robes. He took a step toward Hermione and she backed up, knowing she shouldn't have provoked him, but anger and provocation came too quickly for her to stop it. Draco came toward her more until he had her cornered. She shivered fearfully against the wall. All he did though was set his hand lightly on her shoulder squeezing it a little.
"You have been telling everyone that I was the one who attacked you, me and the other Slytherins," Draco said.
"Brilliant deduction," Hermione scoffed.
He gave her a small shake, "I wouldn't get smart in your situation Hermione," Draco said.
Hermione pushed him away as hard as she could and started to run. He ran after her coming close enough to grab her arm. He gripped it tightly and pulled her back. Hermione let out a loud shriek and dropped to the ground lightly holding her arm.
"Oh please," Draco said laughing at her.
He bent down next to her and pulled up the sleeve of her robe. He gasped at seeing it being red and puffy the scars vivid written in his own hand.
He got up quickly, looked at her with pity, and ran off. So did Hermione.
Stumbling into the common room an hour later Hermione collapsed next to Harry on the puffy red couch. Harry patted her shoulder as if he already knew that was what she needed. Ron and Shane sat on the floor in front of them, concealed in a game of wizard's chess. Shane was really a match for Ron. Ron was actually being beaten by him. Harry and Hermione chatted (Hermione not mentioning the Draco incident) while Ron and Shane battled their way across the chess board. Finally Ron triumphantly called check mate and the game ended. Hermione was kind of glad Ron had won. She didn't want him to have another reason to hate Shane.
"Well it's almost dinner," Harry said before Ron could get into too much bragging, "we better go."
They all got up to leave, Shane keeping Hermione back a little.
"After dinner, meet me out front of the castle by the stairs," Shane whispered to Hermione.
She nodded, her heart beating fast. All through dinner Hermione fidgeted with her napkin, fork, robes, anything. Ron looked at her suspiciously and Harry looked at her quirley.
After dinner, despite her nervousness, she met Shane in front of the school. At first she didn't see him. She sat down on the steps and looked around, hoping he would be there soon. Once she thought he had stood her up she stood up and started up the stairs. Off in the distance she heard a rhythmic tapping. Clip, clop, clip, clop. Hermione knew that sound distinctly, the sound of hoof beats. She turned around to see Shane leading two large coal black stallions, tacked up with sparkling silver saddles. She ran to Shane, squealing and hug him. He smiled. How could he have known Hermione wondered, then it occurred to her. Through their coincidences the subject of Hermione's love of horses came up. He had done this, for her. She had never felt more special.
A/N: So I didn't really like that chappy till the end but I need help. Who does Hermione get together with? Protectively jealous Ron, Evil hottie Draco, or handsomely romantic Shane? You have to tell me. So please be good little readers and press that little blue button to your left and tell me your opinion. I'd say how about 6 review, I mean ummm opinions. :-P
