Red Light

Chapter 4

A/N: sry the last chapter sucked. I'll try to make this one better but yeah like I said. I'm doing geometry and I do not get the crap….

I stood up after the pain had subsided a little and glared at her. I sat on the other side of the compartment on the opposite row and pulled out my CD player and CD's. I put in my Seether CD and nodded my head to the beat.

Every time she looked at me and I made sure I didn't look at her. I was utterly pissed at her. Who did she think she was to bring me down? To give me an erection then kick me in the jewels.

Then it hit me… I had to live with this bitch until the end of the year. What was I gonna do?

We stopped at the Hogwart's station just as I was buttoning up my shirt. I quickly put on my vest and walked out of the compartment coming face to face with Granger, whom was still wearing her trucker hat and now had her hair in loose pigtails. She flashed me a smirk and walked off the train. I just stared at her back as she sauntered off.

She had the same smirk I did… How weird. I headed of the train thinking deeply.

Her eyes… they were beautiful but they were burning with fire… it was almost scary.

Granger had changed a lot… most of them weren't bad changes either. Her physical appearance was great. I like the changes. But she had also changed on the inside a lot too.

She was no longer shy but outgoing. She wasn't afraid of anything, I could tell you that, because not many girls stand up to me. She was more daring and… she was more torn inside than before…

I didn't know why, though I wanted to find out. Though she didn't look hurt or broken, she was… I could just tell, because I have the same feelings as her.

Ever since my dad had kicked me that day, I built up a cold, harsh, façade. I didn't want people to see what had happened to me as a child, which is why the only person who is in my heat is Mum, because she was always there for me. Other people, I just block them out. I don't let them into my hearts, because I didn't want to get hurt.

It was hard for me to get attached to something, which could be why all my girlfriends broke up with me. I mean, inside I would want to feel the love they gave I just… couldn't or wouldn't. It was frustrating... It's like a glass wall between me and that other person. I'd want to show and receive love I just couldn't and now, I can't find a way out behind that glass wall. I'm trying desperately to find someone to shatter it but no one's willing and it's my fault because of the way I act. No girl wants to stay long enough with me. They usually take it then leave.

I sat at my table next to my other good friend Blaise Zabini. He nodded with a small smile to acknowledge my presence. I nodded back in response then turned my attention to the front of that hall for the beginning of the Sorting ceremony.

"…And I am pleased to inform you that our new Head Boy is Draco Malfoy. Also, our new Head Girl is Hermione Granger. Will you two please stay after everyone leaves so that I may escort you to your quarters? Thank-You. First-years follow your house prefects. The rest of you, have a good night and sleep well."

I glanced up at Hermione and she looked up at me. She winked at me with her visible eye. I rolled my eyes even though my heart skipped a beat.

I headed up to Dumbledore. He smiled at us.

"Congratulations you two. Now if you come with me I'll show you your common room."

We followed Dumbledore to their room and listened as he told us the rules, regulations, and responsibilities of the Heads. I nodded and agreed with everything.

"Unity," Dumbledore said.

The portrait bearing a loin and a snake opened with a roar and a hiss. We all headed in. I looked around our common room. It was a combination on our school colors.

"Ok, seeing your pasts, we noticed that you two have not gotten along we faculty decided that for the first few months of your stay here you two will share a room."

My eyes widen. Noooo way….

"What," I heard Granger say in rebuttal.

"No I'm just 'kidding' with you," Dumbledore smiled.
We both let out a sigh of relief.
"Ok well, I will bid you two good night. Hermione your dorm is on the right. Draco, yours is on the left."

I watched as he walked out of the dorm and I looked at Granger. She looked back at me and stared into my eyes. I saw the fire again, it was hatred.

"Granger, what happened to you over summer," I couldn't help but ask."

She glared and said harshly, "You should know…"

"How the hell would I know what happened to you!"

Her glare pierced through me like a thousand arrows. It was cold and harsh… like my fathers… I couldn't take it.

"Stop glaring at me like that!"

She continued, her eyes piercing into mine. I was scared; I felt I was gonna scream. The glare brought back memories I had blocked out, memories I didn't want back.

"Hermione, STOP!"

I pushed her away from. She stumbled back and looked up at me confused. I was panting softly as I looked down at her.

"What's wrong with you," she asked staring up at me with her eyebrows knitted together.

I swallowed hard as the memories slowly started to fade. She stood back up and looked at me as her face faded of confusion. I stared at her thinking how unbelievably alike my father's glare and hers were.

"You realized… that you called me Hermione…"

I just stared at her.

"What made you do that?"

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I was terrified of her right now and I wasn't about to admit.

"I-I… need to go. I'll see you in the morning… goodnight," I said hurriedly backing into my room.

I shut and locked the door. I peeled off my robe and loosened my tie. I sauntered to my balcony and leaned on my elbows on the elbows, thinking deeply.

I wondered why Granger said that I should know what happened to her. How would I know? There's no possible way for me to.

I thought back about her glare. It was exactly like my father's. It terrified me immensely because every time I saw that glare it meant bad things. How did she develop that? How could she even-?

Then it hit me…

"O no…"
