The Unexpected
Hermione avoided going to Wolfeman Jack's in the day's following her encounter with Draco. Finally, three days later she decided to return. 'He's probably not even here anyway. Why am I worrying?' She thought as she got dressed to go. 'Maybe Samantha will be there. I haven't seen her in ages.'
Samantha was an American witch she met in Bath. She was there for the summer with her parents. They had met at the beginning of the summer and had met for coffee a few times and got together at the pub almost every other night.
Finishing her hair she slipped on her sandals and went down stairs to let her parents know she was going out.
"Mum, Dad. I'm going to Wolfeman Jack's okay? I'll be home early," She said finding them in the kitchen discussing a new technique for the root canal.
"All right dear, just be careful. Oh, we probably won't be up when you come in. We have a seminar on the root canal tomorrow morning," Her Mum said excitedly.
Hermione went into the living room and disaparated with a pop. When she apparated in the alley as always she noticed immediately she wasn't alone.
"So this is where you live Mudblood? It suits you so well," Draco sneered leaning against one of the alley walls.
"It seems to me that you're the one making yourself at home here," She shot at him as she walked past him out to the street. "What are you doing here Malfoy? Get lost on your way home or doesn't anyone want you there?" she said as he followed her into the club. "I don't think they allow ferrets here Malfoy you might have to leave,"
"Shut your filthy mouth you mudblood or you might get something you can't handle," Draco threatened as he finally left and went over towards the bar.
'Thank God!' she thought as she spotted Samantha at their usual table. "There you are! I haven't seen you in days! Where have you been?" She said as she reached her.
"My parents wanted me to some sight-seeing with them. I was her last night but I didn't see you," Sam said smiling as Hermione sat beside her.
"I've been somewhat avoiding this place lately. A boy from my school, Malfoy, I told you about him, came in here a few days ago. I had hoped he would have left for home already but no such luck. He's a disgusting little ferret and I hate him with a passion!" Hermione said as she pointed him out to Sam with a look on her face like she'd just eaten something dreadful.
"He doesn't look that bad. Actually he looks HOT! Why don't you like him again?" Sam asked looking at the boy in question.
'Malfoy is not hot! It's not possible.' she thought as she looked at him closely. 'Okay he is pretty built and muscular. Yeah he knows how to dress and since he stopped greasing his hair it looks sexy. But Malfoy is definitely not hot! Is he?' she thought not realizing Sam had asked her a question.
"Hermione?" Sam said nudging her. "Hermione, you're staring at him. He's going to… great he saw you, look away quick," Sam said turning Hermione away form Draco as he turned around.
'Was Granger just staring at me?' Draco thought, 'No it's just my imagination. Why would Granger be staring at me?' Draco pondered as he sipped his firewhiskey and pretended to listen to the boy next to him.
After a few hours and bored almost into a stupor, Draco noticed Hermione was leaving. Making an excuse to the boy, he followed her outside. "So Granger, were you disappointed when you didn't get head girl?" Draco sneered as he caught up with her. "Parkinson owled me last week that she was head girl this year,"
"Well obviously she was lying because I am head girl. Not that it's any of your business Malfoy," She answered hotly as she turned into the alley.
"I guess you lucky then mudblood, as you get to spend time with me. I'm head boy," He sneered apparently put off that Pansy Parkinson had lied to him.
"Why would that be lucky? I don't like ferrets," She spat as she disapparated from in front of him.
"Bloody Hell!" She thought aloud as she apparated into her room. 'I have to put up with that disgusting ferret all year! This is awful. I should write Harry and Ron.' Taking out her quill and parchment she wrote a quick note.
Dear Harry, Ron and Ginny,
The most awful thing happened today! I met Malfoy in Bath at Wolfeman Jack's and he had some interesting news. He's head boy and Parkinson is telling everyone she's head girl! I can't believe it! This is just impossible! I don't know what to do, it's just awful. How could Dumbledore do this to me! Well I hope everything is going well for you.
Love Hermione
P.S. I Can't wait to see you in Diagon Alley. Do try and be on time this year.
Just as she finished Hedwig appeared through her window. She always knew when someone wanted to write Harry. Tying her letter around Hedwig's leg Hermione let her go. She was soon gone completely and Hermione shut the window.
Changing she got into bed. She was soon asleep dreaming of how horrible the next school year was going to be with Malfoy as Head Boy.
Draco on the other hand was wide-awake. As soon as he had returned to his room he heard the fighting. This time, however, it was much worse.
Just as he was about to put a sound proof spell on his room he heard on last shout and the distinct pop of someone disaparating. Getting up he went down the hall. What he saw when he opened the door would change his life forever.
