Hermione woke up and looked around it felt really late but she saw Draco was still in bed so she thought it was still early. She decided to get up anyway then she looked at here watch. She screamed and woke up Draco.
"Hermione what's up?" said Draco rubbing his eyes.
"We have to get ready!!" said Hermione rushing to the bathroom.
"But why?" he said getting up and going to his trunk and getting gout his clothes.
"Well just because we slept in a bit" she said frantically running around.
"What's the time Hermione" said Draco he was thinking she was just being herself couldn't be late for the start of a lesson.
"Well umm it 12:30!!!" she said panicking.
"WHAT!" screamed Draco "How could we have slept in that long?" he said dressing faster.
"Well incase you didn't notice we went to bed at 2:30 last night" she said coming out of the bathroom.
"We'd better hurry McGonagall doesn't like people who are late" said Hermione.
"Yeh I know" said Draco rushing out the door with Hermione. They both ran to the transfiguration classroom and arrived just in time. Hermione saw Harry and Ron and their mouths dropped when they saw that Malfoy was with her.
"Where the hell have you been Hermione?" said Ron suspiciously.
"Well I kind of slept in a bit" said Hermione getting her books out.
"Kind of you have missed two lessons" said Ron staring at her.
"And why on earth did Malfoy sleep in till the same time as you?" said Harry.
"Well we were kind of up late talking" Hermione said as she watched their faces fall.
"You what!" yelled Ron and he was lucky professor McGonagall wasn't there yet.
"Well we were talking and we didn't realize what time it was" said Hermione trying not to look at them.
"What time was it?" said Ron staring at Malfoy with great dislike until he turned back to Hermione waiting for an answer.
"Well about 2:30" said Hermione again trying not to look at them.
"2:30 what on earth did you two have to talk about?" said Ron angrily.
"We talked about stuff like our families and why he has changed over the summer" said Hermione.
"You two talked about your families?" said Ron suspiciously.
"What about your families?" said Harry.
"Well we talked about how much I dislike my sister" said Hermione.
"What you don't have a sister" said Ron.
"Yes I do" said Hermione glaring at Ron.
"So you tell Malfoy this before you even tell us" said Ron angrily.
"Well he told me a lot of stuff about his family and don't really like to talk about my sister" said Hermione.
"What did he tell you about his family?" asked Ron. Hermione turned and faced Malfoy she noticed that he was listening he looked up at her and gave her a look that told her not to tell them.
So Hermione just replied "it's really none of your business".
"Oh so now you and Malfoy are like best friends that keep each others secrets" said Ron angrily.
"Who cares if we keep each others secrets you know I thought you might have realized that if I tell Malfoy my secrets and I don't tell you that must mean I don't trust you enough to keep them or maybe I think you will go ballistic and get all jealous" said Hermione she was getting really angry.
"What when have I ever been jealous?" said Ron staring at her with disbelief.
"Well let's see when I started going out with Viktor" said Hermione. "And that is part of why I wont tell you one of my secrets" said Hermione.
"What is it?" said Harry. "That Viktor broke up with me and the reason I didn't tell you was because I knew you wouldn't be supportive Ron I knew you would jump up and down like you are now!!" yelled Hermione.
Harry looked behind him and saw Ron jumping up and down but at Hermione's words he stopped. Harry turned back to Hermione only to watch her storm out of the classroom. Harry looked over at Malfoy who was watching her leave and then got up himself and ran after her. Harry made a move to leave but just as he did Professor McGonagall came in so he sat back down not to happy though about leaving Draco to look for Hermione.
Draco ran out of the classroom just in time to see Hermione run down the corridor. He ran for a while then he realized that she had run back up to her dormitory. He walked up slowly and opened the door to their room and he looked around for her but she wasn't there. He listened and then he heard someone crying in the bathroom.
"Hermione?" said Draco tapping on the door.
"G-gg-go away I'm fine" she said and then started crying again.
"No I don't think you are ok" said Draco turning the doorknob. He walked in and saw her sitting down on the floor with her face in her hands she looked up as she heard him come in.
"Hermione don't worry about them they don't mean what they say it just comes out it's like they have a disease" said Draco laughing then Hermione chuckled and looked up at him and smiled.
'Did she just smile at me? Draco thought to himself. Hermione got up dried and dried her eyes.
"Do you think we should go back to class?" said Hermione looking worried
"No it's too late now we have missed most of the lesson" said Draco.
"Thanks for being so understanding" said Hermione hugging him.
'What!! She's hugging me' thought Draco to himself again 'this is twisted well she is upset maybe you should just hug here back you know you want to' said the voice in his head it was really starting to annoy him either way he hugged Hermione and they sat up in their room talking for a few hours then they headed down to D.A.D.A.
"I wonder who the new teacher is?" said Hermione looking at Draco.
"Well Dumbledore didn't introduce any new teachers did he" said Draco thinking to himself.
"Maybe he couldn't get anyone" said Hermione hopefully.
"Well I will be happy as long as they are not from the ministry" said Draco frowning.
"Why? I thought you go along with Professor Umbridge" said Hermione looking at Draco.
"Well I kind of did but she was really weird and she smelled funny" said Draco laughing. They got to the classroom and went in not that many people had turned up yet but Harry and Ron were staring at the door waiting for Hermione to come in when they spotted her they looked anxiously to see whether she was still angry with them. Hermione looked at Draco and he knew she didn't want to sit with them so he steered her over to a table on the other side of the room and they both sat down Ron and Harry looked at each other then back at Hermione and Draco they were speechless.
"Are you guys ever going to be friends again" said Draco looking at Ron and Harry he didn't know why but he didn't really like making them sad.
"Oh yes of course I will I just have to make sure they know that they have done something wrong and then they will come and apologize and then we will be friends again I do it all the time" said Hermione grinning evilly.
"You know what Hermione you are evil" said Draco smiling at her.
"I know I am" said Hermione smiling back.
"How do you know they will come and apologize?" said Draco.
"Because they always do if their homework piles up they make friends with me again so they can get me to help them" said Hermione frowning.
"That doesn't sound like a fair system" said Draco also frowning.
"No actually it doesn't but I do it anyway" said Hermione.
"Why?" asked Draco.
"Because I can't sit there and watch them write stuff in their books like Verteria is covered in rocks" said Hermione laughing.
"Rocks?" said Draco looking at her as if she couldn't be serious.
"Yep they are lost without me" said Hermione.
"Obviously do they ever do their own homework?" Draco asked while watching Harry and Ron have a sword fight with their wands.
"Well they do Divination by themselves only because I think that is a load of rubbish" said Hermione.
"Really you don't like it?" asked Draco taking his eyes off Harry and Ron.
"Nope it is almost as bad as the homework they make up" said Hermione laughing and pointing at Harry and Ron. Just as Hermione stopped laughing the door in front of them opened there he was their new defence against the dark arts teacher.
"Hello everyone! My name is Chris Marino" said the tall brown haired man standing in front of them.
"And I will be your new defence against the dark arts teacher" he continued.
"Now I don't know much about where you are in your studies but Dumbledore has told me to ask Miss Granger" he said looking up from the paper he was reading.
Hermione blushed as everyone stared at her including Mr. Marino.
"Well we have covered Redcaps, Hinkypunks, Boggarts, and Werewolves Oh and most of us have learnt about Dementors" said Hermione looking around the classroom as people shook their heads.
"Thank-you Miss Granger" he said smiling at her. "I also see that I have the pleasure in teaching some very famous people well famous people where I come from" he said looking down at the roll.
A lot of people looked at Harry but Harry heard him say some very famous people 'some'.
"Let's see where these people are" he turned and faced Harry "of course we have Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly" he said looking at Ron who went scarlet. "Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom" he said looking past Hermione and his eyes fell on Neville whose mouth was wide open.
"Yes Mr.Longbottom you are very popular where I come from" he said looking at the expression on Neville's face.
"Ok well let's get on with the lesson shall we" he said.
"Well I don't have anything planned so we can just practice the stunning spell on these pillows" he said smiling at the pillows.
"Just remember these here are evil pillows" he said in a fake scared voice and everyone laughed.
They all spent the next half hour stunning pillows and sending them flying across the room.
"Well that was an interesting lesson" said Draco as they walked out of the classroom.
"Yes very I wonder where he is from because it must be a weird place to consider me and Ron famous" said Hermione thoughtfully.
"Well that was the last lesson for the day the first lesson for us but the last lesson for the day, funny" said Draco.
"Don't you have quidditch practice?" said Hermione looking at Draco.
"Oh crap I totally forgot" said Draco smacking himself on the forehead.
"Do you want to come and watch?" he said turning to face Hermione.
"Well ok…… But this is just a team practice isn't it?" said Hermione staring at him.
"Well um yes and no our team is practicing but it is a competition between Slytherin and Gryffindor" mumbled Draco.
"Well I have a lot of homework to do" said Hermione turning to leave but he pulled her back.
"Hermione you finished all your homework last night and we didn't get any from the only class we went to" sad Draco smiling.
"Oh damn it I thought you would fall for that" said Hermione also smiling.
"Come on who cares if they are there" said Draco pulling her down to the quidditch stadium.
"Don't you need to get your things" said Hermione trying to stop him.
"No I left them down in the changing rooms a few days ago" said Draco.
They got down to the quidditch stadium and everyone else was already there.
"Oh hurry up Draco" Yelled a blonde headed boy.
"Coming" Draco called back.
"I'll just sit over here" said Hermione pointing to the side seats.
"OK" said Draco walking into the changing rooms.
The game went for about thirty five minutes before Gryffindor won. The slytherin's didn't take it too badly the captains even shaking each others hands!
Hermione just sat there with her mouth open then Draco came over and explained "The two teams are trying to get along this year" said Draco.
"But Why?" said Hermione "Not that it isn't a great thing but everyone in these two houses hate each other" said Hermione still staring at the teams that were now talking nicely to each other.
"Well someone told the slytherin's to be nice to the Griffindors and the Griffindors thought it was a set up but they are ok with it now" said Draco smiling.
"But how could someone make the Slytherin's like the Griffindors?" said Hermione blankly.
"Well I told them that I would curse them if they didn't be nice and now they don't have a problem someone from our house even asked Pavarti Patil to the dance and she said yes" said Draco.
"Why did you do that?" said Hermione stunned.
"Because you said you just wished our two houses could get along and now they do" he said happily.
"Oh thank you soo much" said Hermione hugging Draco.
"That's ok" he said.
"Well I have to get changed I will be back soon" he said walking back into the changing rooms.
"Hermione?" said a voice behind her.
It was Harry who was accompanied by Ron.
"Yes" she said.
"We are sorry can you forgive us?" said Ron hopefully.
"Why is your homework pile really high this year?" she said.
"No we have finished our homework" said Harry proudly.
"Then what are you apologizing for you don't need me to do your homework" said Hermione.
"We don't want to be your friend just because you do our homework it's because you are part of the group" said Ron.
"You mean it" said Hermione almost crying.
"Of course you are!" said Harry. Hermione jumped up and hugged them.
"Err...my...nee" said Ron struggling.
"Oh sorry" she said letting them go.
"Hey you guys have to make an effort to be nice to Draco ok" said Hermione.
"Well ok but he had to be nice to" said Harry before Ron could say anything.
"Thank you" she said beaming at them. Just as they finished talking Draco walked out.
"Oh are you guy's friends yet" he said.
"Yes" replied Hermione.
"Draco they are going to try to be nice to you ok can you do the same" said Hermione whispering in Draco's ear.
"Yes" he whispered back in her ear.
She smiled.
"So do you guys want to head to dinner?" said Hermione.
"Yes we haven't eaten all day" said Draco.
"Yeh we haven't either" said Ron.
"What why not?" said Hermione.
"Well because we were too worried about you that we forgot about lunch and breakfast" said Harry.
"You were worried about me!" said Hermione.
"Yeh of course we were" said Ron looking at her as if he thought she was mental. With that they all headed off to the great hall.
