Chapter 2: Questions

Malfoy and I agreed not to say anything about the kiss. Though he did keep asking me how it was.

"Come on! You had to have liked it!" He exclaimed while we were leaving the library.

"Actually, it reminded me of kissing a large slobbery dog." I lied as I left for the Gryffindor tower. It was actually the best thing is the world, but I wasn't about to give his ego a boost.

Entering the common room I was bombarded with people, all of them asking me last minute questions that they forgot on their papers. I wasn't near enough in the mood for people, so I marched my way up to my bed. Not even taking off my clothes, I fell asleep instantly as soon as I got on my bed.

I was sitting, sitting in an overly large chair in what seemed to be a common room. The room was green with serpents on the carpets, hangings, and some statues of serpents were placed eerily around the room. I was in the SLYTERIN common room?

There was a noise from behind a large green and silver tapestry and a very sleepy looking Draco walked out. In nothing but boxers I could see why Pansy always had her eye on him. He was gorgeous! I had never seen him without his shirt on, but his abs were very nice to look at. I shook my head. I should not be having these thoughts about him.

"Mudblood!" he questioned looking closer at me. "What are you doing in here? How did you get here!"

"Umm…Honestly I don't know!" I said.

"Well then...Get OUT!" He pointed at a gaping hole in the wall.

"What were you doing up?" I said getting out of the chair.

"None of your business Granger, now are you going to leave or what?"

I climbed into the hole and looked back. Nothing, the common room was gone and replaced by a small darkly lit room. In the middle a lone figure shook madly trying to get free from a chair. It screamed and whimpered now and then in its struggle. I ducked down, not wanting to be seen. I looked closer at the figure…

"Malfoy!" I whispered.

When I arrived at the Great Hall there was scarcely anyone there. I looked at the Gryffindor table and found Ginny.

"Hey, where is everyone?" I asked her when I reached the table.

"Oh, there all off at a Quidditch Rally, I guess members of the Bermuda Bales are showing off at the pitch. Not really interested, since none of them seem to be any good to look at."

I looked around and noticed that there were mainly girls still in the castle. "Hmm…"

"Yeah, Ron and Harry wanted me to tell you that they would see you around later…Something about fixing Ron's broom with a speeding charm." Ginny said grabbing a paper and covering her face.

I looked around. Neville Longbottom had just walked into the hall, looking through the people for someone. He spotted me and ran over.

"Hermione! Hey have to seen Ginny?" He said, totally oblivious to everything.

"Err…no not lately." I confided.

"Oh, okay…well if you see her can you tell her I want to talk to her?" He smiled and walked off.

I waited until he was out of earshot, "So…Having any boy trouble?"

"Nope, None at all…He just keeps wanting me to go to the village with him. Its starting to get annoying."

"Ah, I see. Well I'll talk to you later. I'm going to go see what all this Quidditch stuff is about."

I left the Hall and walked out onto the grounds. It was a wonderful sunny day; I guess a great day to fly too. I reached the pitch in about 5 minutes, and as soon as I did I wish I would have turned around. There were hundred of students packed into the stands, all of them trained on the flyers, who were showing off their dives and turns. I found a place next to some Hufflepuff fifth years, all who were coping down movements and talking excitedly.

"AND NOW, TIME FOR THE HOGWARTS TEAMS TO SHOW THEIR STUFF!" A booming voice sounded from one of the stands.

I watched as all of the teams glided onto the field. I spotted Harry and Ron flying around the pitch. Ron's broom moved unnaturally smoothly, but no one seemed to notice. A flash of green robes and blonde hair flew by the stands. Malfoy wasn't that bad of a flyer, but Harry was by far better.

"NOW OUR FAVORITE NATIONAL TEAM WILL END THE RALLY BY A RACE AROUND THE PITCH! GIVE IT UP FOR THE BER—"

I left the stands and walked over to Harry and Ron, both of which were laughing.

"Did you see how fast it went!" Ron exclaimed.

"I know! Everyone went nuts! It was the coolest Rally ever!" Harry brushed his hair out of his face.

"Yeah, Lord knows what trouble you'll get into with it now." I vexed.

Ron shrugged, "Oh, Come off it Hermione! It only last for a couple of hours."

"Hey…Well we'll talk to you later. We're going to see who's broom is faster."

"Fine!" I shouted as I stormed towards the castle. I hate when they do irresponsible stuff.

I entered the castle and found Ginny exactly were she sat before. This time she was reading the latest issue of The Quibbler.

"Its complete rubbish." She sighed setting the paper on the desk.

"What is it this time? No more Crumpled Hornstacks?" I mused.

"No. They seem to think Luna will be elected the new Ministry of Magic anytime soon."

"Hah, that girl Head of the Magical World? What a load of rubbish!" Said a steely voice. It was Malfoy.

"Oh, hey! There's a cute little article about how your dad's LOVING Azkaban. You know you should read it!" I said.

"You better shut your mouth mudblood. Don't ever talk about my Father. EVER!" He turned and marched out of the Hall.

"Hey well I'm going to go change. I've been in these clothes all day."

I waved bye to Ginny and headed up to my room. I turned the corner and ran straight into someone. Once again it was Draco. I was really getting tired of seeing his face everywhere.

"Watch were your going!" I shouted at him

"You watch your mouth!" He shouted back.

"Filthy Git." I muttered.

I stood back up and walked around him. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me to the floor. "Granger, why do you insist on making me mad?"

"Because, you're not that much fun to look at." I spat.

He leaned his face over mine, "Oh, I see. How is it that I could have any girl in this school, but yet there you are, completely oblivious to my charm?"

I couldn't say anything because in the next moment he placed his lips on mine for the second time that day. I closed my eyes, it was pure ecstasy. "Nothing could ever be better than this." His tongue searched my mouth, I gladly let it. Letting my tongue join his. We kissed for no more than a few minutes before he got up.

He smirked, "That wasn't as bad a dog, now was it?"

"It was absolutely dreadful." I laughed as I stood up and walked off.

I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. "Why did I enjoy this so much? Why is he like that? Stupid Git…"

I entered the common room and found Harry and Ron both nursing small sprains. Feeling better that Malfoy couldn't come in here, I sat down and talked with my friends.
