As Malfoy strolled through the corridors, he surveyed the handkerchief that Hermione had given him to stop his nose bleeding. In the corner of the gold silk which was spotted with red, were the small initials 'DM' embroidered in green. Yes, this was the very implement he had once used to stem her crying eyes. But why had she kept it? And on her person? As Draco mused over these thoughts on his was to the Infirmary whilst on the school grounds Harry and Ron were been seen to.

"Well?" Hermione taped her foot impatiently, though the sound muted by the lush grass. "Harry?" He looked up from his feet and his head fell straight down when is eyes connected with Hermione's. "Well?" Hermione repeated in a very demanding tone.
"You were been acting odd all weekend and then you turn Ron down," Harry motioned to when Ron stood and at the mention of his name Hermione could see the tips of Ron's ears turning a fresh pink. "And then we see you having fun with Malfoy!" Harry spat the last word into the bitter air.
"So I'm not allowed to have fun now?"
"No. Not with him."
This last comment sent Hermione's blood boiling. She struggled for at least a whole minute trying to find words to convey her emotions but upon not finding any, she resorted to crude hand gestures. Flapping her arms in all directions trying to vent her white fury, Harry and Ron resisted giggling. Although the situation was not at all funny, the sight of Hermione before them was enough to make Snape's mouth turn up at the corners.
Ron tried to cut in with apologies but was stopped by the gleaming look of rage in her coffee eyes. After a while Hermione shooed the two boys away to their Herbolagy lesson. There was no point in wasting valuable learning time. As Harry and Ron trotted across the open green towards the greenhouses Hermione went to find Draco.
I'm not very happy with this chapter. It's taken so long to rite because I've been so busy I've been doing it sentence by sentence and it's really be dragging on but alas it is done now. Next chapter will be better and sooner I hope although I may get side tracked with the HBP. One the summer holidays start I'm sure updates will be more frequent. Thanks for bearing with me!
