Disclaimer: The characters are getting kind of OOC! Just letting you all know! Lol. Sorry for the short chapters! I haven't had enough time to write a lot. But im making this chapter really long! Lol. I hope! Well enough of me talking, here's the chapter!


WHAT?!?!?! Harry was getting nervous. Hermione was so mad that she didn't care who heard.

"How could you Harry? I don't get it. I didn't do anything!"

"What are you talking about?" Harry's face was now that color of Ron's hair.

"Don't play stupid Harry! You know exactly what I'm talking about. You thought you could play me? Well you thought wrong, I was going to find out sooner or later. I mean, Ginny is my best friend! She was going to tell me anyway."

"Herm-" Hermione cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

"DON'T TALK TO ME HARRY! I HATE YOU! I don't know what I did to deserved this. Just leave me alone!!!"

Hermione grabbed her bag and stormed off. Everyone was staring at Harry. Harry looked over at Ron, he gave him a very displeased look.

"I thought you said that you and Hermione weren't dating anymore?"

"Well. Err-"

" That was really cold Harry. I would have never thought that you would do something that mean."

Harry couldn't say anything. He was so embarrassed and everyone at the Gryffindor table now knew how horrible of a person Harry was. They all thought of him as a hero. And if things couldn't get worse, Draco Malfoy walked over to Harry and Ron.

"Well, well, well Potter. Nice Job! I knew you that you were a jack ass. Even I wouldn't do something like that to my best mate!"

"Get off it Malfoy. No one asked for your stupid remarks." Harry's fists were now clenched and Draco could see how mad Harry was getting.

"Now, now Potter. No need to get all testy."

"I'm NOT being testy. Just jump off a mountain and do us all a favor."

"Now why would I do anything for you? I thought you were smarter, Potter."

"Shut it Malfoy and stop being such an ass."

"There is no need to use inappropriate language. For not respecting a Prefect, 20 points from Gryffindor!" He pointed his wand to the hour glass that contained many little red diamonds. When he pointed his wand to the hour glass, some of the red diamonds disappeared. Everyone at the Gryffindor table was yelling at both Draco and Harry.

"Wish to say anything else to me?"

Harry shook his head. He didn't want to loose any more house points. Ron, Hermione and him were the reason why most of the house points were taken away.

"That's what I thought, Potter." he turned and left in the same direction Hermione had. He soon caught up with her and was walking very quietly. He snuck up behind her and whispered in her ear.

"You don't need that jackass."

She didn't bother turning around because she knew that it was Draco that had said that. All she wanted to know is why he was being so nice to her. She contemplated whether or not she should ask him.

"Why?" Hermione stopped walking.

"Why what?"

"Why are you being so nice to me? why now?"

"I don't know."

"I don't understand why you are acting like the first 5 years here were just a dream. Well for me a nightmare. I just want to know why?"

"You probably wont believe me. All you will do is laugh and make fun of me."

"Try me"

" I don't know."

"Please?"

" fine! Well, when I was home during summer vacation, Lucious was always bombarding me with questions about my future and what not. He told me that I was to become a Death Eater. He has been telling me that ever since I could talk. Basically, I was to live me life exactly how he lived his when he was growing up. But no way am I becoming a Death Eater. I don't believe what Voldemort and his followers believe in. and the only reason why I was mean to you all those years is because of Lucious. If he ever found out that I liked, well I mean, hung out with a Muggle-Born, he would use curses on me. Such as Crucio. That was his favorite. So I did what I was told and what I was expected to do. But now that he is dead, I am able to do anything I wish. Well not anything, but you catch my drift."

Hermione never thought that he would ever open up that much to her. A tear slid down her cheek. Before anymore could fall down, Draco moved closer to her and wiped them away. She put her hand on his and gazed into his eyes. They were so warm and welcoming. Not like last year. They used to be so cold and bitter. Hermione pulled her hand back to her side.

"I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?" Draco's voice sounded a little worried.

"No. its just me. We should go, before we get any more detention." she tried to make it sound like a joke, but it didn't come out like that.

" Yeah, you are right. We definitely don't need anymore detention."

The rest of the walk was silent. When they finally reached Professor Sprouts door, Draco knocked.

"Come in!!" a bright cheery voice called from the other side of the door.

Draco opened the door and gestured for Hermione to go in first.

"Lady's first."

"Ahh, Good evening Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Granger! As you know, your detention will start tonight. You'll have it every night after dinner until 11 o'clock. I know you both are Prefects, so I've talked to Headmaster Dumbledore and you 2 have been partnered up for the rest of the term until Christmas break. You will have hall duties on Thursday nights right after you leave detention. Now, what you'll be doing every night is going to the Herbology room and you'll clean the room and water the plants.

"is that all?" Draco was getting impatient.

"Ahh, no! I will be leaving a key with one of you. Who wants it?"

"I'll take it." Draco looked over at Hermione. "Unless you want to take it. It doesn't matter to me."

"No, that's ok. You may take it."

"Excellent, here you are Mr. Malfoy. Please make sure NOT to loose this key. I guess I'll take you down to the class room to show you were everything is. Oh, and you wont be using Magic to clean. You will be doing it all the Muggle way. So before you enter the room, you will put your wand in this box and it will lock. No one will be able to open it. When your time is up, and you both exit the room and lock the door, the box will allow you to take your wand. Now, here's they key. I'll see you both tomorrow.. Good Night."

"Good night." Draco and Hermione said this in unison. Draco took out the key and unlocked the door. They both pulled out their wands and placed them in the box. Hermione shut the lid and the box disappeared. She jumped back. Draco noticed and looked at her.

"Whats wrong?"

"oh, nothing. I just didn't see that coming."

"oh, ok. Well. Lets get started."

"Right. Ok!"


what will happen? will Hermione and Draco stay in a room together for a couple of hours with out anything happening? please R&R!!!!!
