Chapter 3
Hermione lay on her bed, unable to sleep. Events that happened that day kept replaying in her mind, with her first standing up for Malfoy in class to the unbelievably gentle Malfoy after class. Something was quite wrong, she felt, but she could not quite place her finger on it.
Why did she defend Malfoy? Perhaps, quite possibly, maybe… well, it could be because she felt the need to set things straight. She could not have just sat there and watch someone innocent take the blame, could she? She could have tried. Which was what she did, only to garner slight isolation by her friends.
She was doing the right thing by defending Malfoy, wasn't she? It was only right. But then, why couldn't Harry and Ron understand that? Why couldn't they see that, as much as Malfoy is irritating, he could be…
Well, innocent?
Come on, Hermione, you know there's more…
He could be… nice?
The more she pondered over it, the more doubtful she got. Malfoy had said that he could be nice. He said that to her… a Mudblood, whom he had usually taunted. Why? Why did he do that? Was it just for acceptance? Was it because he felt gratitude towards her? But it didn't make any sense. She had merely attempted to defend him in class, and it did not work. Why would he go to such great lengths to be nice towards her, just because of that?
It was not long before Hermione had a throbbing headache. She had thought too much. Maybe… only maybe, Draco Malfoy could actually be nice. In any case, she'll wait and see.
Or better, she shall clarify things with Malfoy personally.
TBC...
Now please review!
