A/N: sorry I'm such a short-chapter-writer. I've always written like that,
but I'm trying to make them longer.

The rest of the day was uneventful. Hermione couldn't sleep at all after she returned to her room. At breakfast, she almost fell asleep on her plate. Harry, Ron, Luna, and Ginny were all worried about her.
"Hermione, are you okay?" asked Ron. "You look like crap again."
"Thanks a lot, Ron," said Hermione.
"No, really," said Ron. "You didn't-"
"No I didn't, I promise. I didn't sleep well," she said simply.
"Well, I wouldn't either with Pansy saying shit like she did at dinner," said Harry.
"Harry, please," said Hermione, "just drop it."
Harry shrugged and returned to his food.
"Well Luna and I should get going," said Ginny, standing up. "We have History of Magic with the Slytherins this morning."
"Oh, harsh," said Harry.
"Not really," said Luna. "They're ally too bored to talk to us. It's the only class with the Slytherins that's like that."
Luna and Ginny left the Great Hall. Harry and Ron started to gather their things as well.
"Come on, Hermione," said Ron. "Double Potions with the Slytherins as well. Snape will kill us if we're late."
"Right," said Hermione.
She lazily grabbed her books and followed Ron and Harry out of the Great Hall. They went down to the dungeons and took seats next to each other. Snape wasn't there yet, and other students were filing in behind them. Pansy, Millicent, Crabbe, and Goyle walked in with Malfoy. They were laughing about something. Pansy turned her attention back to Hermione.
"What were you doing in the Astronomy Tower, Granger?" she asked.
"Don't you dare say anything, Parkinson," said Ron. "Trying to see you poor mommy up in the sky?" Pansy asked.
Harry yelled, "Pansy you're gonna-"
"But she's not up in the sky!" exclaimed Millicent. "She's down in hell with the rest of the Muggles!"
Harry and Ron leapt up and made their way toward them, screaming at the top of their lungs. Hermione tried as hard as possible not to think about what she just said. She put her head in her hands and tried to think of something else. But she couldn't.
I should have jumped, was all she could think. I wouldn't have to deal with Pansy, Millicent, and Malfoy anymore.
Just then, Snape walked into class. Harry, Ron, Millicent, Pansy, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle were still screaming, but Hermione heard people slamming around as well.
"Malfoy!" yelled Snape. That was the only name he yelled.
Hermione turned to see Harry and Ron each with broken noses, and the five Slytherins without scratches on them. Malfoy was shaking his fist as if to make pain go away.
"Detention with me tonight, Malfoy," said Snape. "You can join Granger."
Hermione rolled her eyes. The last thing she needed was to spend an entire detention with Malfoy. The rest of class was boring as ever. Ron and Harry kept having to wipe their bloody noses on their sleeves because Snape wouldn't let them go to the Hospital Wing. Malfoy wasn't using his right hand, which he used to punch Ron and Harry, and Hermione suspected a finger or two to be broken. Pansy and Millicent kept whispering rude comments to Hermione, which Snape ignored even though the whole class could hear them.
"Mudbloods go to hell too, Granger, so don't worry about never seeing your dead mum."
"It was probably Voldemort, so don't worry, you and your dad are next."
As the comments continued, Hermione tried to shield her face from the Slytherins, who sniggered at them. Tears popped out of her eyes. Harry and Ron began to throw her apprehensive glances. Even Snape saw the tears coming form her eyes, and he didn't bother to say anything.
Granger had put her hand up to shield her face from them. But Draco could see the tears dripping onto the table. He should have made Pansy and Millicent stop, because it could make Granger resort to something. worse. But he couldn't. There was too much at stake, even with his father in Azkaban.
After class, Hermione walked silently to Transfiguration. Harry and Ron ran up to the Hospital Wing, leaving her to go alone. She was already late. She didn't care. None of it mattered anyway. Why make a life when you'll just die sometime anyway? There was no purpose-
"Granger."
Hermione turned around. Malfoy was there, and she sighed. Just take whatever he says and then go to class, she thought. He stared down at his feet.
"I'm sorry about them," he said.
She looked up at him. "What?"
"It's totally cruel what they're doing to you, and I'm sorry."
With that, Draco turned and walked away. Hermione decided she'd talk to him again in detention that night.
