Chapter 7
The next Monday, Draco and Hermione walked down to the Great Hall. Along the way, ignoring all the weird stares and glances from everyone. By now Pansy Parkinson had probably told the whole of Slytherin house about his "thing" with "Mudblood Granger". From there word spread to the other three Houses.
Draco and Hermione parted and headed toward their usual seats. Hermione sat down in the middle of many confused glances.
"What?" Hermione said looking around at most of the Gryffindor 7th years.
"Uhh...you and Malfoy...walking together... holding hands...ring a bell?" Seamus said.
"He has a first name, you know! He's not Malfoy anymore!" Hermione said heatedly.
"Okay...well...then will you at least tell us about it?" Dean said.
"Fine. I've liked Draco since the beginning of the year. He's liked me since the beginning of the year. He told me he found reason to change his ways. He told me the reason was me. He's not like his father. He loves me. I love him. End of story. If you don't like it, then I guess your not really my friends." Hermione finished and everyone was looking at her with a look that held several different emmotions. Understanding, confusion, and something else Hermione couldn't figure out.
"We understand fully,mate, but...we just never thought you'd really be happy with Mal- I mean Draco, after all he's done and all. We all thought you and Ron would end up snogging and you two'd be together. Hey we knew from second year that Harry would end up with Ginny." Seamus said and the Golden Trio were blushing.
"Okay. Will you all call him by his name now though? He really wants to be your friend. You just have to give him a chance. Please?"
"Sure Hermione. Anything for you." Dean said and everyone muttered their agreement.
"Thanks so much guys. See you all later." Hermione got up and walked over to where Draco was standing next to the door waiting for her. Draco took her hand and they headed for Defense class, walking slow.
"I don't want to go to Defense lesson. Snape hates me because I'm a mudblood and I hate him because he's a greasy string bean."
"You are not a mudblood! But I do agree with the second half of the comment." Draco hugged her and started kissing her. Just then Harry and Ron came sprinting down the corridor. Harry stopped suddenly at the site of the snog session. Ron shivered.
"Come on Ron,before something else happens." Harry went into Snape's room. Ron, however, thought he'd be funny.
"Hermione, please, if you're gonna kiss him, at least go where people can't see you. Be kind, don't make others barf." Ron went into the room. Well his little comment helped none. The snog fest continued for about 30 more seconds when the bell rang and Draco and Hermione dashed inside Snape's room and sat in the very back. About halfway through the class it was time for Snape to begin the traditional "poking of fun" toward the Gryffindors.
"Miss Granger. Please stand and produce a potronus for us. Or is that too hard for a mudblood like yourself?" Draco's temper was rising. Hermione stood.
'This is easy. We did this in the DA. Piece of pie.' Hermione thought as she prepared. "Expecto Patronum!" The silver mist of what should have been a dog appeared and dissolved almost instantly.
"Well...I guess a mudblood like yourself can't." Draco had had it. He stood up and Snape gave him a curious look.
"YOU WILL NOT CALL HER A MUDBLOOD EVER AGAIN!!"
"Mr. Malfoy, do sit down and shut up."
"NO!! I'M GOING TO SHUT UP UNTIL EVERYONE STOPS CALLING HER A MUDBLOOD!!"
"Mr. Malfoy, need I remind you that you were the first to call her that."
"That's because she was then, that's what I saw her as. All because of the butt you people call my father. That's not what she is anymore. Not to me."
"Well to us, Mr. Malfoy, she still is. You know what else-" Snape was cut off by Hermione.
"HELLO!! Standing right HERE!! I'm guessing you're new at this. You don't talk about people when they're standing right there!"
"Shut up Mudblood!" Pansy Parkinson cried. Draco whipped out his wand.
"Silencio!" Pansy tried to scream but the attampt was a dud. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Draco rose Pansy to a hook high on the wall. Pansy just hung there mouthing words everyone was sure were highly inappropriate. Harry got up and walked over to Draco and gave him a pat on the back.
"Good show, mate! Welcome to our dark side." Draco looked at Harry like he was a freak. Draco smile was screaming 'You're weirder than I thought!'
"POTTER! SIT!" Snape yelled at Harry. Harry gave a salute. "Do you like detention, Potter?"
"No, sir, Professor Snape,sir."
"Well I guess that's too bad for you because you have it again. Tonight, after dinner." Another salute. "10 points from Gryffindor. 10 points from Slytherin."
"Why from Slytherin?" Draco protested.
"Your outburst in my class."
"What about Parkinson, sir? Do you want to just leave her there or should I stun her and then transport her to the hospital wing?" Draco asked.
"No, just leave her there. No one will miss her. You are dissmissed."
"Come on Hermione. I want to show you something."
