Chapter 4

"So, look who's back." Draco said, with a smirk on his face.

"Shove it Malfoy, I didn't have anywhere else to go."

"What about your little potty-head or your little Ravenclaw friends? What about the weasel?"

"Don't bring up Ronald!"

"Awww, what, does that hurt the ickle mudblood's feelings? Did the little weasel do something to hurt you?" Draco teased.

SLAP! Draco's face now had a bright red handprint on it.

"What have I told you about calling me a mudblood you Slytherin scum!"

At that, they heard a slight knock at the door. Hermione answered it, finding Dumbledore's owl. It had a bit of parchment attached to it's leg. The paper read:

Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy,

"Well, I sure hope that he didn't leave something out." Hermione said sarcastically.

"Looks like we'll be at Hogsmead in about twenty minutes. We need to change and take our leadership positions." Draco said. He started taking his clothes off.

"What do you think you're doing!" Hermione screeched. He had just taken off his shirt. 'You have to admit, he DOES look hot!' Hermione said to herself.

"Changing. Unlike you, I don't have a problem with someone seeing me half naked. Now please either close the curtain between us, or change right there. I don't mind either way, just get on with it."

It wasn't that she minded him seeing her half-naked. She just didn't know what he'd do. So she closed the curtain and dressed quickly. She opened the curtain and he was done. He was waiting for her to hurry up.

"We're here." he said.

"Good. Now let's get going. I'll sort them and you do Dumbledore's job. We both have to gather the first years into the carriages."

After they had rounded up the 20-something first years, they headed to their carriage.

"Are you ready for this?" Draco asked.

"Of course." 'I think.' She sat back and thought...

Sorry about the hold up. I just didn't have the time and my mom locked me out of the computer because she claims that I am on it all the time. My brother is on it twice as much as I am. She's also been on it WAY more than me. She is such a bitch.

Read and Review!
