Chapter 7: He Hit Her

Draco sat on his bed thinking about what he should do with his spare time before practice. He looked at his trunk and decided, he would read Granger's diary until it was time. That would be a good idea.

He opened the trunk and found the diary. He turned to the correct page and began to read….

Dear Diary,

HE HIT HER! Malfoy hit Pansy today! I know he had a good reason and all but…. He hit her! I can't get over the fact that he had guts enough to hit a girl, and in front of three teachers I might add. Has Malfoy lost his mind? Well, did her have one in the first place. I mean, well, never mind.

Anyways, I defended Pansy of course. I might not like her, but he still shouldn't have hit her. She of course told me that she didn't need a mud-blood to defend her and walked away, but still…

When people say things like that… I wonder…. Am I really tainted? Harry and Ron get all defense whenever Malfoy calls me that. That's what lets me know that their my true friends, but sometimes I wonder if they don't just defend me because they want to pick a fight with Malfoy. I mean, Harry hates Malfoy's guts and Ron will do anything to get at Malfoy. Are they just using defending me as an excuse for their actions? They might be… but… for some reason… I don't care… as long as I have someone defending me… and making me feel better about myself…. Than I'm ok. Aren't I?


Why am I talking about this? It's all crazy talk. Of course they're defending me, and not picking a fight with Malfoy. They're my best friends, but we're not as close as we used to be. We have gotten older and all but, we haven't separate completely. I'm thinking too much into this.

Well, classes have been going good. Malfoy has been acting kind of weird lately. Yesterday, he bumped into he in the hall (Not the same one as in the beginning of this story) and he didn't call me a mud-blood or anything. He just kept walking and didn't even acknowledge that I was there. Maybe that's his new way of trying to ignore me.

Well, I'm kind of tired and I still have a bit of homework left, so I'm going to go ahead and stop here. I'll write back as soon as I get a chance.

He flipped the page and began reading the next article….

Dear Diary,

Ah, finally, I now have some time to sit here and write. Harry and Ron have been so lazy lately, and I always have to give up my free time helping them finish the homework that they should have done before going to hang out with the others.

We have just been assigned to a new potions projects. Sounds pretty fun, right? Well, that's what I thought until I found out that we were going to be working with partners, assigned partners. That's when it starting going a bit down hill… then Harry's partner was announced, even more downhill… Then Ron's partner was announced, this was really getting bad…Parvati's, oh god then I was starting to worry…Lavender's, I'm working with Neville!…Neville's partner was announced and it wasn't me, that's when it got bad, and I mean 2 feet from the bottom of the hill bad….Then, I heard it, My name, Followed by Draco's name….That's when I hit rock bottom. The end of the world is here! I swear, that's what I was thinking.

The only good thing that is coming out of this is that I get to piss Draco off every single day for a week or more. Tell me how great that is. I have been having a ball these past two days.

Anyway, I got a letter from Mum and Dad today. They say that everything's going great at home, and that Adam will be coming this summer to spend sometime with me. I hate when they do that to me, tell Adam's parents that they can send them to our house while his mom spends 2 months at some luxury hotel and his dad spends 1 month and 29 days in his mistress's room, only coming out for food and water. The other day is spent messing up his huge house so that it looks like he's been there the whole time. A very nice plan if you ask me.

That's not the point though, the fact is… They always invite Adam over, hoping that we'll fall in love and live happily ever after. Yeah, whatever. Adam and I are on two separate ends of the playing field. We are nothing alike. It's actually kinda scary how different we are. He's such a bad boy, and I'm such a… good girl. He's a complete idiot and I'm… defiantly not a complete idiot. I love school… he hates it. I rarely get in trouble… he's always in trouble. Not to mention the fact that Adam hates me and I hate Adam. That would almost be like… like… Draco and I dating or something. How would that relationship ever work out?

Well, I'm off to bed for now. Hopefully, I will have a chance to write again tomorrow.

Hermione

The next article was a bit longer. He thought about if he would have time to finish it, and decided that he would….

Dear Diary,

You wouldn't believe what just happened… It was so frightening. I thought I was going crazy… I thought about what it would be like… to date… Draco Malfoy. I know… it's a scary thought. I was sitting in potions working on the project/assignment I was telling you about when I looked over and saw Draco sitting there thinking really hard. The way I could tell he was deep in thought and the cute look he had on his face… I just started thinking about it. Then, I realized what I was thinking and I got really tense. It was such a odd thought and I can't even think about it right now…

School has just been getting harder and harder. Tests are soon and teachers and really packing it on. Homework assignment after homework assignment. Even I am having a hard time keeping up with al of it. So, I know that everyone else is too.

Harry and Ron have been practicing all day, it's Saturday by the way, and have yet to return. I have been up in the dorms reading and of course, studying. Big tests coming up and I can't afford to fail them. I did well on my last ones, but I'm hoping to do better on these. Hoping. Defiantly hoping.

Speaking of studying, I have to work on that project with Malfoy tonight. We have to choose a potion, make it, and present how we made it, the basic stuff. We are planning on meeting in the library at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and we should be done by 4 o'clock or 5. Somewhere in that time period. I'm hoping that it won't take longer then that, but some small part of me is hoping that it will. I really don't understand this. It's so confusing. I think I like him, but my minds telling me not to. I know he's a jerk and always calls me names. Not to mention the way he treats Harry, and Ron. Oh, and there's that thing about him being death eaters son and all. But, I still can't help it. All of my knowledge isn't getting me out of this situation.

Enough thinking about that for one night, I think I'm just going to go ahead and relax. Try to forget Malfoy and these weird feelings…..

Trying….

Trying….

Trying…

Still trying….

Still trying and it's still not working….

OH I GIVE UP! That was such a waste of time and journal space. I can't believe I wrote all of that. Too late now, it's written in ink so it's not like I can just erase it. Actually, there's a spell I read about awhile ago when I had some free time. The spell takes the ink off, but there's always a risk that it will take the whole page worth of ink off, if you don't do it right. I'll have to practice that a bit when I get some free time. Which, won't be any time soon if I can't stop thinking about Malfoy and this stupid potions project.

On to something new. How about….Harry and Ginny. Yes! It finally happened. I always knew that they would eventually figure out that they were absolutely perfect for each other. It's kinda funny how that worked out, and the way Harry resembles his father so much, and Ginny has the red hair like Lily did. The Potter family must have a thing for red heads. That's off topic, Harry and Ginny are finally going out. They went to Hogsmeade together last weekend and from what Ginny told me (Which was all of it) they had a brilliant time. I'm just so happy for them. Ginny is such a nice person and Harry is defiantly someone who needs a nice person with a kind heart. I think they'll get married and have kids and live in a nice house in the countryside. Ok, maybe I'm getting way to far ahead here. This isn't even me I'm talking about.

Oh no, here comes Ron. Probably needs homework help or something. I'll write again soon.

Hermione

Draco looked at the clock. '5 o'clock. I should probably get headed down to the great hall. I'll read some more later on tonight.'

With that, he shut the book and replaced it in his trunk. Making sure to cast a quick spell to keep anyone from opening it. He had had an incident involving Crabbe and trying to open his trunk to get a book that he needed form potions and had lost. That wouldn't have gone well if Crabbe would have noticed the diary. '

'Good thing he's so dumb.' Draco thought with a smirk as he left his room, and headed towards the great hall.

Wynter- I know, you all hate me because it took so long, and the chapter isn't even all that great. I thank you for all of your reviews and I thank you even more for being patient with me. I have had so many family problems going on lately that it's ridiculous. One gets out of the hospital and the other walks in.

That literally happened. It was so freaky. Anyway, like I said, sorry for the EXTREMLY long delay and I hope you all atleast got a little something out of this crappy chapter.

DarknessHatesMe-Thanks! I'm glad you think so. Actually, we both write other stories and have other screen names on Mine's WynterMajik and Tea-and-cake-or-death's is….well, tea-and-cake-or-death. Lol. Thanks for the wonderful review.

Vixen xOx- That time period was long, this one was even longer. Lol. Like I said, I'm really sorry about that. And I will try really hard to update sooner next time.

Dmone- Yeah, finally. And this is another finally. Lol. Sorry about that and I hope this chapter brings the thrill up a tad bit more.

Mz Hellfire- Thanks, and I'm glad you like it. Sorry the update took so long, but I hope it was atleast somewhat worth the wait.

Carine- lol. I have…..5 words (sorry I am a bit slow today). Sorry the update took so long. Wait! That was 6! Damn Kindergarten teacher!

Thwarted Moony- I'm glad you liked it so far. We'll continue until the story is over, No matter what.

XX-Dracos-Dark-Queen-XX- lol. I do that all the time. It's Harry! I know it's Harry! 'Well duh you know it's Harry. They just told you it was Harry.' That's not how it was for you, but that's how it was for me. Sad isn't it?
