Chapter 17 - Back
THE NEXT DAY...
Draco and Hermione got up from bed and went to eat breakfast in the Great Hall. "Draco, who the hell is that??? Why is HE sitting at the teachers' table?" Hermione asked. "Huh, HIM? Er... Must be a new teacher I guess..." Draco went to the Gry ffindor and exchanged looks with Harry, Ron and Ginny. They raised their eyebrows and Draco nodded. Hermione was very suspicious. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"NO!!!" All of them shouted in unison. Including ALL of the Gryffindors. Hermione laughed and said, "Very funny, guys." She sat down and began to eat.
AFTER BREAKFAST...
Hermione excused herself and that was the only way to find out what was happening. Something was going on in front of her. Many girls were crowding around someone. She went closer to get a good view of the commotion.
"Miss Granger, what are you doing here? You should be off to class!" The evil Professor Snape came. If he were an ape, he looked nicer. "Professor, I was... was-"
"Ten points taken away from Gryffindor for your unexplainable answer(is there such thing?)! This is the first time you couldn't answer a question, I see..." Hermione looked at his yucky face with a sinister smile on it. "Disgusting..." She whispered. "What did you say?" He asked dangerously.
"Oh, nothing, Professor! I better be off, I'll will use this excuse for my mother!" Hermione said. 'Your mother???' He thought. 'Professor McGonagall... Fine!'
Hermione went to the Transfiguration room. A few people were there and didn't care about Hermione and the 'person''s presence. She saw the mysterious hot man there. "Hermione.." He said. "You know me?" Hermione asked shyly. "Yes, I suppose. You have known me since your fourth year in Hogwarts." (The Clue!) Hermione racked her brains. Hermione looked up and said weakly, "Viktor?" He nodded furiously and grinned.
"You-totally changed! What happened to you?" She asked, hoping that he would not change his appearance because of her...
"I had a makeover." He said real briefly. "Oh, um, okay." Hermione said.
"HERMIONE!" Hermione turned. "Uh-oh" Harry said softly. "Hermione! You-you." Draco pointed at Krum. He just shrugged. "Draco, never mind. I know about it already. No use hiding anyway, but to tell you, he's hotter than you." Hermione joked. Krum blushed. Draco was speechless. "Just joking!"
"Settle down, silence please." Professor McGonagall came in and winked at Hermione. The gang sat down quietly. Krum went to help Professor McGonagall. "We are glad to have Professor Krum back after his personal leave. Lets welcome him back!!!" McGonagall said. Everyone gave him a rousing applause especially the girls. Hermione grinned at Krum. Draco glanced sourly at him and looked at Hermione. His heart shattered.
AFTER CLASS...
"Hermione, we need to talk." Draco asked boldly. Hermione looked at him as if she could read his mind. They went into an empty classroom. Hermione started first. "Look, I know that you've been acting weird lately, but I know it's because of me, about Krum. I don't care whether he had changed his looks or whatever, but you are the Prince Charming for ME, Draco, I won't have a change of heart. You must have faith in me, or else how did we end up together?"
Draco smiled and said, "Yeah, well, thanks for knowing me and understanding me, you're such a great girlfriend." Hermione blushed and they kissed.
"Draco, I found out something."
