Sorry that it's been so long since I updated! School started, and I didn't have a lot of free time. I know the first chapter was incredibly short, but it was just meant as an intro. chapter, so the next one will be longer, promise!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of JKR's characters, got it?

Harry and Ron finally caught up with Hermione and the three friends made their way down the corridor to the Great Hall. The large room was filling rapidly. Ron was now in front of Harry and Hermione, because it only made sense that the tallest of the three was in front, looking over the heads of the students to locate any empty seats.

"There's some over there," Ron bellowed over his shoulder. They made their way down the small path between tables and the boys took their seats. Hermione, however, was having a bit of a pest problem.

"Get out of my way," Hermione demanded, staring the boy down with a fierce glare. It was none other than Daniel Patil, a very handsome boy in their year who was always very popular with the ladies. Daniel just smiled and remained motionless, his legs resting on the Ravenclaw bench, blocking her path.

"Depends." He said smoothly.

"On what?" Hermione replied coldly, although she had a strong guess at what was coming.

"On if you go out with me on our next Hogsmeade visit." He said, unflinchingly. Hermione's only response was a noise which closely resembled a gag.

"Not a chance. Now move!" She demanded rather loudly, her hand reaching steadily towards the robe pocket in which her wand was in. He just sighed and let out a chuckle.

"Granger, Granger, Granger…" He said, shaking his head. He seemed not at all deflated by the rejection. "When are you going to realize that I want you. And I always get what I want." He replied cockily, finally removing his feet from her path. Hermione just rolled her eyes and brushed past him, ignoring the jealous glares she was receiving from the female population of the table.

Okay, so that was pretty short too…but this time I'm updating again. Please R&R…if you keep reviewing I'll keep updating, got it?
