a/n To my loving readers: Thank you so much for the reviews! I know there were only a few, but I'm not used to anyone knowing I'm alive, so I'm so happy! Anyways, you have all inspired me to make time to write a new chapter, as I sit her, Listening to Led Zeppelin. Thank you! Please keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing!

Hermione's POV

"RONALD! You ignorant little twit! Do you have ANY idea how worse you just made things! No he's going to go all… all…. ah!" and she stormed off to the library.

Draco's POV

WAAAAAAA! SHE HATES ME! WAAAAAAAA!

Hermione's POV

flips though pages of Hogwarts, A History

Why am I reading this book? I know it by heart!

"Hermione! What just happened?"

Oh great… it's HIM……

"Malfoy, go away. I don't want to have to be with you anymore than I have to this year… Please?" she added, noticing that he hadn't left yet.

"Are you learning impaired? Do you not know what GO AWAY means? Boys! All you want is to bug the snot out of me!… FINE! I will leave…"

So once again Hermione walked away, this time to Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom.

"Hermione!" Myrtle said, surprised to see her. "What are you doing here? Can I help you with a potion? I haven't made one in so long…" Some sort of weird dreamy look came over her face…

"Umm… Myrtle? I don't need to make a potion… I just thought it would be cool to have a girl on girl talk, seeing as I really don't have anyone else to talk to… SOO… Boys… how about them?"

"Oh, they are dreadful! If you recall, it was a boy who killed me, right in this bathroom," she told Hermione, leaning over her more with each word.

"Umm… thank you, Myrtle. I think I do recall that…" and she slipped out from under Myrtle. "I've um…. Got to go. By Myrtle! And thank you for the uh… talk."

AND SHE WAS OFF!

I HATE THAT LITTLE WORM! I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM! AHHH!… I feel better now.

Draco's POV sigh, Draco

"Malfoy!" Pansey called after him as he walked down the hall.

I just want to get back to my room… and Hermione's room… ah, Hermione…

"Draco, why is your mouth open and you look like you want to cry?" She asked, a funny look on her face.

"Hu? What?"

"I think I'm going to leave," a weird look on her face, and she left.

Why do people keep walking away from me? Ah, well… she's someone I can live with walking away…. I think I'm going to ask Hermione out… Yes… I am… right now!

walks to find Hermione

finds Hermione in "their room"

"Umm… Hermione…. I think I'm in love with you…"

Hermione's POV

"YOU LITTLE WORM! I CANNOT BELIEVEYOU JUST SAID THAT TO ME!" slap "How DARE you!"

Draco's POV

Did she just walk away from me again?

Hermione's POV

"RON! HARRY! He's in LOVE with me! He, Draco Malfoy, is in love with me! So, are you going to say anything? Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say I liked him! STOP IT!"

"Oh…."

And she plunked down on the couch- she was in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Now I have to go to bed. Thanks for the help," so she got back up and left, trying not to cry at her friends' lack of support.

Draco came into the common room right as Hermione was setting some blankets up on the couch.

"Are you sleeping on the couch?" he asked nicely.

"Yes" was her sharp reply, she could almost hear Malfoy wince.

"Umm, Hermione, I'll sleep on the couch…"

She turned around to look at him.

"No, Draco, I will sleep on the couch. And don't think that being all 'nice' and 'happy' to me will get me to like you!"
