During the whole next week, Maxine and Draco kept on teasing Harry, and Ron, never Hermione. When Draco would start to call Hermione a mudblood, Maxine would give him a hard nudge or a look., or sometimes even both. This did't do unnoticed by the golden trio.
Hey, whats up with that Torrez girl? Asked Harry to Ron. I dunno. Hey theres nothing wrong with being nice to me, even if shes just ignoring me and making Malfoy too. Protested Hermione. NO! Theres something wrong with her. She must call you a mudblood…. Ron didn't finish that sentence because Hermione slapped him hard. Tears were streaming down her face as she screamed at him. How could you call me! ME! Your friend a mudblood. Even Malfoy's not doing that any more and what.. huh.. you need to bing that up and make me feel bad! Hermione ran away to the library.
Meanwhile, Maxine was looking at the fight in the shadow if a knight. So.. my plan has worked. Hermione has finally dumped those losers, because I didn't pick on her and put all the pressure on those stupid dweebs. Now lets see. Oh she's heading for the library! Perfect.
( meanwhile in the library)
I can't believe those stupid bastards! They just wants to see me in pain and do their fricken homework. Thought Hermione.
A chair was moved in front of her so she looked up. There was Maxine, peering at her with a nice, and warm gaze.
Hey what's wrong with you? Did Potter and Weasley ditched you or something?
NO! I ditched them. They said that there's something wrong with you and Malfoy because you guys won't call me mudblood or any other horrible names, so Ron decided to break the habit and call me a mudblood.
Oh, don't feel bad. It's okay, you should be glad that you ditched those losers. Said Maxine as she laid a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
Why are you so nice to me? Asked Hermione suspiciously. Shouldn't you be laughing and making fun of me for being such a loser?
Nah, I decided to break that habit. I know, I know, what is a girl from a high class, dark pureblood family doing. Being nice to you. Not that you disgust me or anything. Anyway, how come you didn't get Head Girl? You seemed smart for your age.
No! Cho Chang stoled it from me. She's supposed to be gone this year, but she decided to stay for one more year. I heard she slept with some professors, but I think that's just a rumor.
Oh………… anyway. Do you want to hang out with me since you are no longer hanging around with those stupid boys.
Sure! But… I think that your friends won't be soo happy about this arrangement.
Nah. Pansy and her crew will like you since you're not with Potter and Weasley anymore. I mean I like you right.. and I am like the ruler of the girls in Slytherin and I can just make them like you.
Oh. Ok. I need to go to sleep now. So can we hang out tomorrow?
Sure I'll see you at the Slytherin table ok?
Ok.
