Chapter Eleven: Raging mad
Hermione felt her stomach drop lower than she knew it should be. She studied the piece of parchment more closley..how could Snape be -this- cruel? Draco looked down at his own piece in disbelief, he would for sure have his father hear about this one. Both of theirs, exactly the same, read; Name: Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy Reason for Detention:Vandalising school property. Detention: Monday, 8:30 P.M Green House four; De-worming Riossidazione plants.
-Tuesday, 12:00 P.M Trophy Room; Cleaning and Polishing Trophy's and Plaque's. -Wednesday, 5:30 A.M Quidditch Pitch; Picking up litter. -Thursday, 7:30 P.M Kitchens; Clean dishes. -Friday, 12:00 A.M Hogwarts Grounds; Picking up litter excluding Quidditch Pitch.
Hermione and Draco stood for a moment in silence, both staring down at their detention slip in disbelief.
'Damnit,' Draco swore, crumbling up his own piece and stuffing it in the depths of his robes,' Bloody arse hole,' he continued,' Fucking slimy git,'
Hermione took in a deep breath, she didn't know one person, well, maybe besides Ron, who used as many creative ways to swear such as Draco did.
'Bastard will-'
'Okay okay!' Hermione cut in, tucking a lose strand of hair behind her ear,' Well, we kind of deserved this,' she admitted, looking up slowly at Draco, who looked up towards the ceiling distant, as if searching for more swear words to throw out about him. 'The pixies deserve this..'Draco said suddenly, slowly turning his head back towards Hermione, who looked up at him in surprise.
Hermione stared blankly at him for a second as he looked back at her, wearing a half smile.
Slowly that smile turned into a grin, then a laugh.
Before they knew it, they were both doubled up in laughter, laughing at the stupidest thing.
'Y-you-you're mad!' Hermione said between giggles,' P-pixies can't serve detentions.'
Draco grinned once again and rolled his eyes, shoving both hands into his robe pockets,' Well, duh, Hermione-' Hermione raises her eye brows slightly,'- I was being sarcastic,' he said, turning away.
Hermione stood watching him leave for mid-second, a small smile spreading across her lips.
'Bye, see you tonight then Draco, remember, we are doing this for the Pixies!' she shouted, laughing.
Hermione watched Draco's shoulders shake slightly, indicating laughter as he turned the corner out of sight.
Smiling to herself, Hermione turned the opposite way, heading towards the Great Hall for lunch.
' 'Mione!'yelled Harry, he was sitting down at the end of the Gryffindor table, along with Ron, Ginny and Lavender.
Hermione made her way through the crowd and squeezed next to Harry, smiling slightly.
'Hey,'she said, crumbing her detention slip in her hand and stuffing it quickly in her book bag,' Sorry I'm late..I ran into a bit of trouble with Snape,' she admitted.
Harry and Ron exchanged dark looks and sighed,' He shouldn't be allowed, Snape,' Ron said, stuffing a fork full of chicken in his mouth,' He'm im bam ome' he said thickly.
'Eh?' Harry said, setting aside his book,"Quidditch; Bloodiest Most Brutel Games in History.'
Ron gulped and took a swig of pumpkin juice from his goblet,' I said, he's a bad one.'
Hermione shrugged and picked up her fork,' Well. . . I have quite a lot of detention coming up, and he expects me to study for his stupid mid-term!' she said stuffing a forkful of carrots in her mouth.
Ron groaned and banged his head on the table,' Midterm!' he groaned,' Herm, you've got to help me!'
Hermione sighed and looked to Harry,' Your all ready, aren't you?, I do hope you've read those books I lent you.'
Harry's expression of happiness suddenly faded to a look of guilt.
'Erm.. of c-course I did...' he said quickly and mercilessly became deeply interested in his book (Which was turned upside down, though he seemed not to notice).
Hermione rolled her eyes and continued her meal in silence, listening to Ron moan about the upcoming mid-term and Harry blurt out random facts about the Mindowin Moke's, a famous Quidditch team of eastern Scottland.
Hermione had just finished her meal, and was debating weather or not to go to the library, when harry suddenly slipped his arms around her waist, cuddling her into a soft hug.
'Harry!' she whispered as he softly kissed her neck,' What are we doing? What about the "break" ?'
Hermione could feel Harry laugh against her skin, his warm breath over taking her body like a heat wave, ' I think that break is through,' he whispered, bending to kiss her.
'Wait,' Hermione said, scooting back a bit,' What if -I- don't think that break should be over?'
Her side gave a slight feel of harsh pressure, as if to remind her of before.
Harry's eyebrows narrowed, his face was tingeing up to a pale pink colour as he slowly let go of her waist.
'So d'you want to be with me or not?' he asked, his eyes searching hers.
Hermione resisted the urge to say no but instead chose what she knew he'd want to hear,' Of course I want to be with you.'
-I do want to be with him- she told herself - I know it, my heart knows it. . . who can resist those big, bright, emerald green eye's of his?-
Harry smiled and nodded, wrapping his arms around her once more,' I'm glad we both feel the same way' he whispered into her hair as he hugged her.
Hermione smiled and broke off the hug,' Class,' she said, as she picked up her bulging book bag.
The Great Hall was nearly empty, and they all had class on the north side of the castle, a good ten minute walk away.
'Shit,' Ron exclaimed, standing up so quickly that he knocked his chair to the ground, causing the Great Hall to echo with a clatter.
The trio quickly ran to Transfiguration with professor McGonagall and burst through the double doors just as the bell sounded.
'S-sorry' Hermione apologised, taking a seat right next to Harry.
All three of them were a bit pink in the face from running and Ron was half gagging on a scone he -insisted- on bringing along with him.
Class went on as normal, little disturbances were made, despite the fact of Nevilles mouse looked more like it gained weight rather then resembling a thimble, the object they were supposed to create.
'Your homework is to practise turning your thimble that I hope you all succeeded with-' she eyed Neville slightly, who blushed and looked down, prodding his mouse with the tip of his wand'- Practise turning that thimble into a spool of thread,' she said, watching everyone severely.
'Don't you even think about standing up Mister Thomas,' she said as Dean made an attempt to stand up, obvously wanting to be the first one out of class.
As soon as the bell rang though, he was the first one to rush out in a hurry, under the solid stare of Professor McGonagall.
'So what do you have planned for tonight you -two-?' Ron asked slyly, as Harry put his arm around her shoulders.
'Detention,' Hermione said flatly as Harry groaned.
'Skip it,' he said at once, letting go of her,' Tell him you got ill.'
'Break an arm, spells will heal it in time,' Ron said as Harry playfully punched his side,' No girlfriend of mine is breaking her arm.'
Hermione rolled her eyes and stopped abruptly in front of the library gate. 'Snape wouldn't care if I had my arm slashed open and an eye ball hanging out, Snape is Snape, nothing matters to him except making our lives miserable,' she said pushing open the gate.
'Why are you going to the library?' Ron asked bewildered,' Class is over.'
Hermione turned around and placed both hands firmly on her hips,' so?' she said raising an eyebrow,' I've got to look up on something, see you later Harry?' she said turning misty eyes towards him.
Harry nodded meekly and walked over, giving her a quick kiss,' I'll see you soon,' he whispered, squeezing her hand gently.
Hermione smiled slowly and turned around, entering the hushed library.
Madam Pince was stationed at her usual spot, her eyes darting to each student with suspicion.
'Clocks, clocks...clocks,' Hermione muttered to herself as she scanned one of the many rows of thick, parchment filled books.
Hermione stopped at an interesting looking book named,"Famous Clock Machines of The Past and Present."
'PERFECT!' she exclaimed, causing Madam Pince to stare daggers at her,' No shouting keep your voice to a low level please!' Madam Pince shouted.
-Why does -she- shout at me to not shout?- Hermione thought to herself,- She'd make a good clown, she's funny and loud.-
Hermione made her way to an empty table, taking time to amuse herself at the thought of Madam Pince biking around on a unicycle, juggling brightly coloured balls.
After choosing a seat Hermione set aside her heavy book bag and opened the book.
'Chapter one..the History of clocks...chapter two...famous clock builders of all time...' Hermione muttered to her self, scanning the chapters,' Oh yes, finally, Chapter eight; Clocks by picture.'
She yawned slightly, her eyes feeling rather heavy, she flipped through the thick pages towards the middle of the book where a colourful list of clocks and their pictures showed.
'Mmmhmm, nope...hmm..no..' Hermione whispered to herself, her eyes scanning the pictures.
'Mmhmm..' she muttered, her eyes slowly closing.
She slowly lent forward, then suddenly jerked her head up.
-No, no..I mustn't fall asleep, not now, I've got to look this up- she told herself, propping her head up on her fist.
'The firmeck clock..the timesnumeral clock, the fincktal clock...the..'
'Hermione!' a voice called out from behind her; twirling around, Hermione saw Draco Malfoy jogging over towards her.
'Hey,' he grinned, scooping her up into a hug.
'Draco!' she gasped, wrapping her arms around his neck,' I've missed you!'
Draco grinned, and kissed her cheek gently,' I miss you every second your away from me.'
Hermione smiled widely and snuggled against his chest, her heart full of happiness and her worries forgotten.
'Why do I love you so much?' Hermione asked looking up, resting her head on his shoulders.
'Because I love you so much,' he said teasingly, brushing his lips against her own.
Her heart beated happily as his last words played over and over again in her head.
'I love you so much.'
'I love you so much.' 'I love you so much.'
'She about missed lunch.'
Hermiones head shot straight up from the book she was using as a pillow.
Ginny Weasley was standing before her, talking to her friend, Emily.
'Herm your awake!' she exclaimed looking towards her,' It took us ages to find you until we realised the smartest place to look would be the library..dinner is almost through!' she said, picking up her book bag.
'Here,' she said handing Hermione her bag,' If you want dinner then hurry up and go! I've got to do some research..' she said eyeing the library with hatred,' And you going to help me, right?' she said happily, looking over to her friend Emily.
Emily wrinkled her nose, obviously not open to the fact of studying,' Uhm..sure..?' she said as Ginny grinned and gave her a hug.
'Thanks, I knew you would!'
Hermione smiled weakly and looked down at her book which lay open with some of the pages slightly bent from where her head rested.
'Shit..' she whispered, smoothing out the pages,' Okay, I'm going to dinner..see you,' Hermione said, picking up the book and sliding it in her book bag, she would look at it more after her detention tonight.
The Great Hall was packed, most of the students well fed, and the unhurried ones still picking at their food.
-Wonder where Harry is..- she thought, scanning the Gryffindor table as she neared it.
'Herm!' a voice called out to her.
Hermione looked among the crowd of Gryffindors and saw Ron waving to her from the far side of the table.
Grinning, Hermione made her way through the throng of students towards Ron, who sat with not Harry, but Dean.
'Where's Harry?' Hermione asked as she sat down beside him.
Ron shrugged and looked down the table,' He ate rather quickly then he excused himself,' he said looking back at her.
'Where have you been?' he asked tilting his head to the side,' And is that ink on your face?'
Hermione blushed and rubbed the side of her face,' I was in the library, you knew that!' she said, picking up her fork.
-Harry, come on!- she thought glancing down the table.
No sign of him.
-I thought he'd of waited for me- she thought, standing up slightly and looking over the heads of students.
Her heart stopped dead at it's beat.
She spotted Harry in the far corner. . . with another girl?
Hermione shot straight up and squinted.
Sure enough, Harry had his arm around a hufflepuff girl, grinning broadly.
The girl was perfect, she was stick skinny and had short, strawberry blonde hair.
Her skin was flawless and her smile perfect, she was gorgeous.
Hermione felt ill to her stomach as she saw Harry laugh and lean over. . . he kissed her.
Within seconds they were making out, right in front of everyone else, who seemed not to notice.
Hermiones heart began to beat furiously, pounding against her chest as cold as ice. She felt as though she'd swallowed fire. Rage was burning through her body.
Acting fast, Hermione turned around and pushed past everyone towards Harry.
She stood in front of Harry for a good minute before he noticed her, her hands firmly on her hips.
'Shit, Hermione,' he said, guilt glinting in his eyes,' I- well..' he trailed off, the girl, whom she recognised as Molly Haboit, a fifth year in her muggle studies class, staring daggers at her.
Hermione looked to her side and grabbed some first years goblet of pumpkin juice.
In one swift movement she threw the whole goblet full at him, soaking him all down his front.
'YOU FUCKING ARSE HOLE!' she shouted, tears blurring in her eyes, ' HOW COULD YOU..?'
Not even wanting an answer she wiped her tears that fell down her cheeks furiously and ran off through the staring crowd.
-Why..why..why- she thought, running out of the Great Hall and down the almost empty corridor. -He loved me...loved me...loved me..-
She turned the corner and ran more, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Skidding to a stop she slid against the bare stone wall and sobbed.
-He hates me, he doesn't love me, he betrayed me- she thought over and over again.
'W-we..weren't m-ment to b-b-be..' she whispered slowly to her self before blacking out into deep sleep.
'I could hold you like this forever,' Draco whispered in her ear.
They sat outside against a tree; it was a beautiful day, hardly any clouds, almost a clear blue sky.
'I love you so much, I can't believe I found you,' Hermione said, snuggling against him, resting her head against his chest.
'I'm just so glad you found me,' he said, kissing her head.
Hermione laughed and raised her hand, brushing it through his hair.
'I think we are just to in love, its stupid,' Hermione said through laughter.
'It's just, every time I'm near you .. I feel so happy..'
Hermione felt a soft pressure on the side of her stomach.
She opened her eyes and at once knew she'd fallen asleep..again.
Mrs Norris was laying down comfortably on her side, looking at Hermione with her red, lamp-like eyes.
'Get off!' Hermione shouted hoarsely, sitting up and shoving off Mrs Norris.
'You wretched cat!' she yelled angrily, her memory of dinner still fresh in her mind.
Standing up, a bit uneasily from fresh wake, she looked around and at once noticed where she was.
The same place she always seems to end up at, in the hall where the clock stood.
-Wait..- Hermione thought, looking up incredulously- We broke the clock-
Standing tall and proud stood the odd grandfather clock, once again, ticking as if it was never touched.
'Aagh!' Hermione shouted backing away.
-Deamond clock!- she thought looking up at it.
Her eyes drifted off for a moment at the inscription above before she realised something.
'Detention!' she thought out loud, gaping at the clocks hour.
It was five past eight, detention was supposed to take place five minutes ago.
'Shit, shit , shit,' she mumbled, running down the opposite hall way.
She continued to run until the hall way met to a huge opening, the Entrance hall.
Standing against the wall stood Draco, searching the crowd of people.
'I'm so sorry,' Hermione said, running up to him,' I..well..,' she tried to explain but he shrugged and gave her a weak smile,' It's okay,' he said suddenly frowning,' What happened?' He was looking straight at her, noticing her tear stained cheeks.
'J-just..nothing..' Hermione said, her eyes welling up with tears again.
She looked up at the ceiling, to prevent any to fall down her cheeks again, feeling like a silly old child, crying over the stupidest things.
To her surprise, Draco didn't laugh nor scoff at her to quit crying, but he rather awkwardly, put his arm around her shoulder, holding her ever so slightly.
'I kind of saw what went on in the Great Hall...I think everyone did,' he admitted as a tear rolled down her cheek.
'Yeah..well..we're through, we defidently are now..I can never forgive that..that..-bastard-' she spat bitterly, wiping away her tears with rage.
Draco frowned and nodded, slowly guiding her down the stair case towards the door.
'just forget him, he's not worth it,' he whispered to her as he opened the door.
They were greeted by a gust of wind and harsh rain.
The rain pounded down on their shoulders as they made their way to green house number four, huddled close together.
'Shit thats cold!' Draco exclaimed, holding the door open for Hermione as they stepped in.
The green house was no treat either, the place smelled mouldy and dusty, the dirt floors slightly muddy from the rain that blew in.
Hermione nodded and shivered slightly, her wet robes clung heavily to her body, weighing her down.
'V-ve-very c-c-cold,' Hermione stuttered, her teeth chattering together.
Draco laughed and looked around for a moment, before bending down and picking up his book bag.
' I think I have some extra robes in here, for after quidditch pracitses and stuff, he said digging into the depths of his bag.
Hermione stood in silence, watching his soaking hair falling slightly over his face, his steal grey eyes soft and kind.
'Here,' he said, tossing her a dry robe,' put this on, you'll feel better,' he said smiling slightly.
Hermione looked down at the green slytherin robe and back at him,' No..really you wear it..your soaked as well.'
Draco laughed and pulled out a shirt from his bag,' I have this,' he said tearing off his robes and and un-doing his shirt.
'It's okay, put it on,' he said, pulling off his shirt.
Hermione stood frozen, watching Draco absentmindedly as he changed shirts.
Draco slipped his new shirt over his head and looked back at her, laughing.
'You going to put it on?' he asked raising an eyebrow.
Hermione felt her face heat up as she laughed slightly, 'Yeah, just getting to that,' she said dully, slowly un-doing the clasps on her robes.
She slowly slid out of her dress robes and kicked them aside.
Looking up she saw Draco watching her, grinning sheepishly.
'You take your time do you?' he laughed looking her up and down.
Hermione grinned and slipped the new robe over her head, which was two sizes to big.
'You going to be okay?' Draco asked, looking at her with concern.
Hermione smiled and looked at him shyly,' Yeah..I think I am..' she said grinning.
Nodding Draco smiled and put his arm slightly around his shoulder,' Well..lets get busy on these plant thingys..,' he said grinning.

'The firmeck clock..the timesnumeral clock, the fincktal clock...the..'
'Hermione!' a voice called out from behind her; twirling around, Hermione saw Draco Malfoy jogging over towards her.
'Hey,' he grinned, scooping her up into a hug.
'Draco!' she gasped, wrapping her arms around his neck,' I've missed you!'
Draco grinned, and kissed her cheek gently,' I miss you every second your away from me.'
Hermione smiled widely and snuggled against his chest, her heart full of happiness and her worries forgotten.
'Why do I love you so much?' Hermione asked looking up, resting her head on his shoulders.
'Because I love you so much,' he said teasingly, brushing his lips against her own.
Her heart beated happily as his last words played over and over again in her head.
'I love you so much.'
'I love you so much.' 'I love you so much.'
'She about missed lunch.'
Hermiones head shot straight up from the book she was using as a pillow.
Ginny Weasley was standing before her, talking to her friend, Emily.
'Herm your awake!' she exclaimed looking towards her,' It took us ages to find you until we realised the smartest place to look would be the library..dinner is almost through!' she said, picking up her book bag.
'Here,' she said handing Hermione her bag,' If you want dinner then hurry up and go! I've got to do some research..' she said eyeing the library with hatred,' And you going to help me, right?' she said happily, looking over to her friend Emily.
Emily wrinkled her nose, obviously not open to the fact of studying,' Uhm..sure..?' she said as Ginny grinned and gave her a hug.
'Thanks, I knew you would!'
Hermione smiled weakly and looked down at her book which lay open with some of the pages slightly bent from where her head rested.
'Shit..' she whispered, smoothing out the pages,' Okay, I'm going to dinner..see you,' Hermione said, picking up the book and sliding it in her book bag, she would look at it more after her detention tonight.
The Great Hall was packed, most of the students well fed, and the unhurried ones still picking at their food.
-Wonder where Harry is..- she thought, scanning the Gryffindor table as she neared it.
'Herm!' a voice called out to her.
Hermione looked among the crowd of Gryffindors and saw Ron waving to her from the far side of the table.
Grinning, Hermione made her way through the throng of students towards Ron, who sat with not Harry, but Dean.
'Where's Harry?' Hermione asked as she sat down beside him.
Ron shrugged and looked down the table,' He ate rather quickly then he excused himself,' he said looking back at her.
'Where have you been?' he asked tilting his head to the side,' And is that ink on your face?'
Hermione blushed and rubbed the side of her face,' I was in the library, you knew that!' she said, picking up her fork.
-Harry, come on!- she thought glancing down the table.
No sign of him.
-I thought he'd of waited for me- she thought, standing up slightly and looking over the heads of students.
Her heart stopped dead at it's beat.
She spotted Harry in the far corner. . . with another girl?
Hermione shot straight up and squinted.
Sure enough, Harry had his arm around a hufflepuff girl, grinning broadly.
The girl was perfect, she was stick skinny and had short, strawberry blonde hair.
Her skin was flawless and her smile perfect, she was gorgeous.
Hermione felt ill to her stomach as she saw Harry laugh and lean over. . . he kissed her.
Within seconds they were making out, right in front of everyone else, who seemed not to notice.
Hermiones heart began to beat furiously, pounding against her chest as cold as ice. She felt as though she'd swallowed fire. Rage was burning through her body.
Acting fast, Hermione turned around and pushed past everyone towards Harry.
She stood in front of Harry for a good minute before he noticed her, her hands firmly on her hips.
'Shit, Hermione,' he said, guilt glinting in his eyes,' I- well..' he trailed off, the girl, whom she recognised as Molly Haboit, a fifth year in her muggle studies class, staring daggers at her.
Hermione looked to her side and grabbed some first years goblet of pumpkin juice.
In one swift movement she threw the whole goblet full at him, soaking him all down his front.
'YOU FUCKING ARSE HOLE!' she shouted, tears blurring in her eyes, ' HOW COULD YOU..?'
Not even wanting an answer she wiped her tears that fell down her cheeks furiously and ran off through the staring crowd.
-Why..why..why- she thought, running out of the Great Hall and down the almost empty corridor. -He loved me...loved me...loved me..-
She turned the corner and ran more, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Skidding to a stop she slid against the bare stone wall and sobbed.
-He hates me, he doesn't love me, he betrayed me- she thought over and over again.
'W-we..weren't m-ment to b-b-be..' she whispered slowly to her self before blacking out into deep sleep.
'I could hold you like this forever,' Draco whispered in her ear.
They sat outside against a tree; it was a beautiful day, hardly any clouds, almost a clear blue sky.
'I love you so much, I can't believe I found you,' Hermione said, snuggling against him, resting her head against his chest.
'I'm just so glad you found me,' he said, kissing her head.
Hermione laughed and raised her hand, brushing it through his hair.
'I think we are just to in love, its stupid,' Hermione said through laughter.
'It's just, every time I'm near you .. I feel so happy..'
Hermione felt a soft pressure on the side of her stomach.
She opened her eyes and at once knew she'd fallen asleep..again.
Mrs Norris was laying down comfortably on her side, looking at Hermione with her red, lamp-like eyes.
'Get off!' Hermione shouted hoarsely, sitting up and shoving off Mrs Norris.
'You wretched cat!' she yelled angrily, her memory of dinner still fresh in her mind.
Standing up, a bit uneasily from fresh wake, she looked around and at once noticed where she was.
The same place she always seems to end up at, in the hall where the clock stood.
-Wait..- Hermione thought, looking up incredulously- We broke the clock-
Standing tall and proud stood the odd grandfather clock, once again, ticking as if it was never touched.
'Aagh!' Hermione shouted backing away.
-Deamond clock!- she thought looking up at it.
Her eyes drifted off for a moment at the inscription above before she realised something.
'Detention!' she thought out loud, gaping at the clocks hour.
It was five past eight, detention was supposed to take place five minutes ago.
'Shit, shit , shit,' she mumbled, running down the opposite hall way.
She continued to run until the hall way met to a huge opening, the Entrance hall.
Standing against the wall stood Draco, searching the crowd of people.
'I'm so sorry,' Hermione said, running up to him,' I..well..,' she tried to explain but he shrugged and gave her a weak smile,' It's okay,' he said suddenly frowning,' What happened?' He was looking straight at her, noticing her tear stained cheeks.
'J-just..nothing..' Hermione said, her eyes welling up with tears again.
She looked up at the ceiling, to prevent any to fall down her cheeks again, feeling like a silly old child, crying over the stupidest things.
To her surprise, Draco didn't laugh nor scoff at her to quit crying, but he rather awkwardly, put his arm around her shoulder, holding her ever so slightly.
'I kind of saw what went on in the Great Hall...I think everyone did,' he admitted as a tear rolled down her cheek.
'Yeah..well..we're through, we defidently are now..I can never forgive that..that..-bastard-' she spat bitterly, wiping away her tears with rage.
Draco frowned and nodded, slowly guiding her down the stair case towards the door.
'just forget him, he's not worth it,' he whispered to her as he opened the door.
They were greeted by a gust of wind and harsh rain.
The rain pounded down on their shoulders as they made their way to green house number four, huddled close together.
'Shit thats cold!' Draco exclaimed, holding the door open for Hermione as they stepped in.
The green house was no treat either, the place smelled mouldy and dusty, the dirt floors slightly muddy from the rain that blew in.
Hermione nodded and shivered slightly, her wet robes clung heavily to her body, weighing her down.
'V-ve-very c-c-cold,' Hermione stuttered, her teeth chattering together.
Draco laughed and looked around for a moment, before bending down and picking up his book bag.
' I think I have some extra robes in here, for after quidditch pracitses and stuff, he said digging into the depths of his bag.
Hermione stood in silence, watching his soaking hair falling slightly over his face, his steal grey eyes soft and kind.
'Here,' he said, tossing her a dry robe,' put this on, you'll feel better,' he said smiling slightly.
Hermione looked down at the green slytherin robe and back at him,' No..really you wear it..your soaked as well.'
Draco laughed and pulled out a shirt from his bag,' I have this,' he said tearing off his robes and and un-doing his shirt.
'It's okay, put it on,' he said, pulling off his shirt.
Hermione stood frozen, watching Draco absentmindedly as he changed shirts.
Draco slipped his new shirt over his head and looked back at her, laughing.
'You going to put it on?' he asked raising an eyebrow.
Hermione felt her face heat up as she laughed slightly, 'Yeah, just getting to that,' she said dully, slowly un-doing the clasps on her robes.
She slowly slid out of her dress robes and kicked them aside.
Looking up she saw Draco watching her, grinning sheepishly.
'You take your time do you?' he laughed looking her up and down.
Hermione grinned and slipped the new robe over her head, which was two sizes to big.
'You going to be okay?' Draco asked, looking at her with concern.
Hermione smiled and looked at him shyly,' Yeah..I think I am..' she said grinning.
Nodding Draco smiled and put his arm slightly around his shoulder,' Well..lets get busy on these plant thingys..,' he said grinning.
