There he is. Sitting by the window, staring into space.

'I wonder what he's thinking of.' Hermione thought as she sat down for History of Magic with Professor Binns. She looked at the lonely blonde boy still deep in thought. She couldn't believe how much he had changed.

In the beginning of 7th year, Draco Malfoy had escaped from Snape and returned to Hogwarts. He had sworn to Mcgonagall that he has changed his dark ways. The whole school didn't know what to believe. But gradually they forgot their suspicions. Malfoy had lost his reputation and his slytherin friends. He was no longer the old Malfoy, bullying first years, but quiet and withdrawn.

Hermione was the only one who hasn't forgives him. She still remembers the teasing and the taunting. And the awful name he used to call her, 'Mudblood'. Hermione was still holding a grudge against him.

After History of Magic, Hermione proceeded to Muggle Studies. She saw Malfoy sitting by the window, deep in thought. The first time Hermione saw Malfoy in Muggle Studies, she thought she could have died with laughter. Of all people to learn about Muggles, it was Draco Malfoy! She knew none of the slytherins took this class. They were afraid of catching some 'germs'.

Hermione continued to stare at Malfoy wondering what was he thinking about. When she suddenly found herself staring into two grey eyes which had flecks of ice blue in them. Draco Malfoy's eyes. They were so deep, she could get lost in them. They kept on the staring. Neither one breaking eye-contact. He gave her a little smirk. Hermione thought that maybe bit of the old Malfoy was still there, just unseen.

"Miss Granger!"

Hermione hastily broke the eye-contact and said "Yes Professor?"

Professor Winters looked at Hermione suspiciously and asked "What kind of gadget do the muggles use to talk each other over long distances?"

Hermione gave a sigh of relief. It was a good thing she was muggle-borned.

"The telephone, Professor."

The Professor gave a curt nod and resume teaching.

After Muggle Studies, Hermione stuffed her bag with books.

"Meet me in the Astronomy Tower at 9:00 tonight" whispered a voice in her ear. She looked up, it was Malfoy. He gave her a wink and walked out of the classroom.

Hermione was overwhelmed. Meet him in the Astronomy Tower alone? What was she going to do?
