Hermione looked at Malfoy, and then her eyes wandered all around the Slytherin Common Room, she had never seen it before. The grey stone walls had pictures of famous Slytherins, and had a beautiful fireplace that was bewitched to have green flame. The couches were a bright green leather, which was shocking to Hermione because living in the Muggle World, there were a lot of different colors of couches, but she had never seen a green leather couch before. Study tables had glass tops, and holding them up were different kinds of snakes sketched out in stone. She looked down at the floor, and the carpeting was Green and Silver checkered all around the floor. Malfoy looked at Hermione Granger, who had tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't figure out why. He just stared at her waiting to say something, but then he decided to start the conversation. "what!" he said somewhat irritated. What did she want anyway. He thought that everyone in the school would want to leave him alone after his tantrum in the Great Hall.
"I just, well," Hermione said looking up at Malfoy, but she noticed that his anger had not left his face, so she looked at the ground as she continued her sentence.
"I'm sorry if I did something to upset you."
"Well it is ridic…" but he suddenly stopped talking, at the thought that Granger was actually being sincere. "Why don't we move out of the door way, shall we?" He said opening up the portrait, and moving out of the Slytherin Common Room.
"I didn't mean to upset you, and I'm not with Harry. And I d.." But she was cut off by Malfoy making a "shhh" sound. She listened and heard people walking in the Dungeons.
"We can't be down here, people will see us!" Malfoy turned left down the hallway and just starred at him. "Do you want a bunch of Slytherins to hex you because they thought you were trying to break into their common room? Or don't come. I'm sure someone will find you in great pain in a few weeks from all of the Cruacios Curses they put on you." After Hermione heard that Slytherins might use Unforgivable Curses on her, she ran after him. Malfoy turned up a ragged looking stair well, that was made of metal stairs, with rust all over them.
"This doesn't look to stable" Hermione said with fret. Malfoy started to run up the stairs, and she decided to follow. She had no idea where she was going, but for some reason she trusted Malfoy, and didn't know why. At the end of the stairwell they reached a room, Malfoy said, "Alohamora" and the door opened.
"Are you sure we should be entering this part of the school. I don't think it is allowed if the door is locked!"
"If they didn't want us in here, Granger, they would have used a more powerful spell to lock the door."
Hermione understood his logic, but didn't think that she should be breaking into sections of the school. She was a prefect, and she should obey the rules.
They walked into a pitch-black room, until Malfoy lit a candle, and suddenly the whole room lit up. Hermione looked around the room, there was a black rug, with black leather couches. There was a bookshelf filled with all sorts of books, and a Witxoo, which was similar to a muggle Television but it was paper thin, and you could watch whatever you wanted when you wanted. "What is this place?"
Malfoy turned to look at Hermione, whose eyes kept darting across the room, as if deciding what to look at first. "I don't know, I found it in my second year, and come up here when I am angry or want to get some time for my self. " Malfoy sat down on one of the arm chairs, and Hermione sat in the one across form him. "So, why did you walk all they down here to find me?"
"Well, I just, well." Hermione took a deep breath. She didn't know quite what to say. "I know you didn't cheat on Pansy. And, its horrible that now she is making rumors about you."
Malfoy just looked at her. He couldn't believe that she followed him all the way down to the dungeons, just to talk to him to see how he was doing. "Why did you follow me down here granger? And why aren't you with, Potter?" Malfoy said Potter in a girlish mocking voice. "And why the hell are you crying?"
"I am not with Harry! And to believe I followed you down here because I feel bad for you! I don't know why I do now! God, I know what you are going threw, and to think that you would be nice enough to talk to me. But no, the incredible Draco Luscious Malfoy CAN'T BE NICE TO ANYONE CAN HE!" Hermione yelled her last sentenced and then stomped out of the room. As she left, Malfoy just shrugged his shoulders and didn't look bothered at all by what he said, and he was even smirking. Hermione started to walk down the stairs when she heard Millicent Bullstrodes voice talking, and then Pansy's Shrieking voice. "What a prat, he throws a fit in the middle of the Great Hall, telling all of these lies!" Hermione turned to go back up the stairs. If she showed herself, they would want to know why she was down in the Slytherin Dungeons, and probably Hex her.
Hermione walked back into the room and Malfoy just looked at her, not looking surprised that she was back. "Why are you smiling!" She said irritated, because she had to wait here with him for a while.
"Because, every night after dinner Parkinson and Bullstrode gossip in the hallway. I knew you had no chance of getting out. So now, explain, why can't I be nice to anyone? What exactly is your mudblood logic behind this?"
Hermione huffed, and then plopped down into the chair she sat down in before. She just stared all around the room, anything but Malfoy. Malfoy asked the same question again, and she turned her head to look at him. "You can't be nice to anyone, and you know it. I came down here, because I am probably the only one in the school right now who can relate to what you are going through, and all you can do is call me foul names!"
"Mudblood isn't a foul name, it is what you are. Isn't it? Unless you have been lying all these years about being muggle born."
"Mudblood is an insulting name, and why do you care if my parents had magical powers or not. I have the highest g.p.a. and O.w.l.'s out of anyone in our grade! What matters what kind of parents you have, you should be solely judged on your talent and personality." Hermione spat at Malfoy, she was getting quite angry because he thought 'mudblood' wasn't an insulting name. Which, Hermione thought he was just saying to weasel his way out of trouble with lies, like he usually did.
"I guess, I can somewhat see what you mean, but no matter what, people will judge you on your background. For example, how in the muggle world, people judge you on your looks before they ever start to talk to you." Malfoy said with a shrug of his shoulders. Hermione's jaw dropped when he made the revelation to the muggle world.
"How did you know that!" Hermione asked almost immediately. How did Malfoy know about muggles, he hated practically anything that wasn't magical.
"I have been taking Muggle Studies. Father thinks that if we are to beat them on their own grounds, we should learn more about them first."
"You, of all people, hate muggles, and you are studying them. That is insane! And when could you possibly have that class? The only days they offer it are Thursdays and Mondays, second period, and I for one have seen who is in the class, and you were unaccounted for."
"I have Astronomy on those days, so I am studying it during my private study times, and then in the spring Astronomy will be over, so I can move into the Muggle Studies Class. Well, I am not really fond of talking 'bout muggles, so why was Harry all over you, like tomato sauce on spaghetti, if you two are not together?"
"I don't think that is any of your business Malfoy!"
a/n. I didn't get the directing job for the school play! kind of sad. But that is ok, this is all I could get done… not really long, I'm sorry. Next chapter more truth will come out about Hermione and Malfoy.. and more truth possibly about ron, neviile, and lavender!
