Chapter 2: Lesson Number One
Ron choked on a piece of bacon and at Hermione, "Malfoy? You're tutoring Malfoy?" Ron says laughing, "I can't believe it! This is great! Wait till Fred and George hear!"
Harry was laughing so hard that he is crying. "That is pure justice! I don't want to tell just Fred and George! I want to tell the whole world!"
Hermione swallowed hard, "Hey guys? Nobody is actually supposed to know. So please, don't tell anyone!" Hermione looked deeply into Ron's eyes, "Ron? Please?"
Ron turned red and grinned the goofiest grin Hermione had ever seen, "Uh, sure. Of course."
"Thanks, Ron!" Hermione kisses him on the cheek gently, "You're a great friend." She grins back at Ron as she leaves the Great Hall.
That evening, Hermione walked into an empty classroom later that evening. Draco Malfoy is already there. She smiles slightly, "Hello, Malfoy."
"Mudblood…" Malfoy replied, "Let's just get this done and over with." He jumped off of the table that he was sitting on and walks over to Hermione. "Madame Chauncey made a mistake pairing us up."
Hermione laughs a little and sighs, "For once, Malfoy, I agree with you." She pulls her quill and a peace of paper out and sets it on a table. "Let's begin. What areas of Defense against the Dark Arts are you having problems understanding?"
Malfoy's face turns red he turns away, "All of it." He whispered.
"Malfoy has feelings? Hmm, never would have guessed it." Hermione thought to herself, "Don't be ashamed," She said calmly, "Nobody's perfect. Not even Harry. He is constantly cheating off of my homework! And Ron too!" She laughs slightly.
"But everyone thinks that you are!" Malfoy groans, "Little Miss Perfect! Just get the lesson started!" He was now starting to get angry, and quite impatient.
Hermione sighs and begins the lesson, going very slow, and making sure that Malfoy was understanding everything that she was saying. After about an hour they stopped, "We can go ahead and take a break now." Hermione said, setting down her quill. "Are you understanding anything?"
Malfoy nodded as he opened his can of orange soda, "Sure, whatever you say Mudblood."
"Malfoy! You're so stubborn sometimes! I can't believe you, I go through all this trouble to help you, and you STILL hate me? What is you're problem?" Hermione was over-whelmed by Malfoy's behavior. "You know what? Lesson's over for today, I've had it!"
Hermione stormed out of the classroom, leaving Draco Malfoy to sit alone. Malfoy hung his head low, "Why do I always say the wrong thing?"
