"Malfoy! What the fuck are you doing? Get off of me!" Hermione shoved him off of her and spun around to face him.
Hermione eyed Malfoy carefully as he came within three inches of her face and spoke, "Just trying to put you in your place, Mudblood..." He came even closer as he said this, so close, that the're bodies were almost touching. Draco felt an arousal in himself and quickly pulled away, shocked at such a feeling towards the Mudblood.
"What is it ferret? Afraid that you might get a disease from touching me?" Hermione, feeling braver than usual, strode up to Malfoy, and placed her hand on his chest and pushed him against the wall. She then placed her body against his and began running her fingers through his hair. Draco so shocked by her actions, took some time to react, but finally realizing what she was doing grabbed her by the waist, turned her body around and shoved her against the wall and pressed his body on hers.
"Afraid? Granger, you must be mad..." Draco, confused with what he was feeling towards the Mudblood, stormed out of the compartment to find his friend Blaise. Hermione, still against the wall, smiled menacingly knowing that she had gotten to the Slytherin Prince. 'He really does have beautiful stormy eyes' Hermione found herself thinking this is immediatly corrected herself. 'No, its Malfoy. You hate Malfoy...' Though Hermione thought this and attempted to force herself to believe it, she knew that she had felt something when their bodies touched. She quickly buried any such feelings she was beginning to feel for Malfoy and left the compartment, in search of Harry and Ron.
After searching through several compartments, she finally found her friends. "Harry, Ron! Hey!"
"Hey 'Mione! I thought you had to spend the ride with the Head Boy, why aren't you in your private compartment?" Ron was happy that Hermione had come to sit with them, but wondered why she would ignore any instructions given to her by Dumbledore.
Hermione came in the compartment and sat down next to Harry. "Well, the Head Boy and I both agreed that it was ok to spend the train ride with our friends..." Knowing this was a complete lie, Hermione forced a smile to make her friends believe her.
"Oh, well thats good. So who's the Head Boy?"
"Malfoy." Hermione said this barely audible but both Harry and Ron heard perfectly fine.
"MALFOY! Hermione! No way! Your kidding right?" Hermione could tell that Ron was seething mad and saw a flash of anger in Harry's green eyes but she didn't quite feel like talking crap about Malfoy to make them feel better.
"Are you guys deaf? Yes, I said Malfoy. I'm as unhappy as you are... but Malfoy is second in our class, so he does sort of deserve it..." Harry and Ron stared at Hermione in shock as she defended Malfoy.
"Deserve it? Its Malfoy for Merlin's sake! The one who has tortured you with 'Mudblood' for six years! How can you say he deserves it?" Ron was yelling now and Hermione was concerned that the whole train would hear.
"Shhhh, Ron, calm down. Yes I know that Malfoy has been a pain in our asses for six years but Dumbledore didn't account for that when he picked us. He looked at grades and leadership abilities. Something that Malfoy and I both have."
Ron just got louder, "'Mione! I can't believe you! Its like you are in love with him! You have no reason to defend him!"
At this Hermione lost the composure that she had been keeping throughout this whole conversation, "HOW DARE YOU! I do not have any feelings towards Malfoy! You guys should know that! I am trying to be professional! Since Malfoy and I will apparently be spending time together this year I am trying to make an attempt to be civil with him. You two need to respect that! I will not lose my position as Head Girl just because I cannot get along with the Head Boy!" Hermione was trembling with anger. She knew that so many things in her recent words were untrue. She was starting to have feelings for Malfoy and she was not trying to be civil towards him and she couldn't stand the truth of these two facts. Ron and Harry just stared at her, never once seeing her in such a rage. Hermione left the compartment and slammed the door on the way out.
Hermione ran to Ginny's compartment and practically jumped in. She wanted the comfort of her best friend, she didn't tell Ginny what happened, she just sat down next to her friend and cried on her shoulder. She was starting to have feelings towards Malfoy and she wanted to deny it, but she no longer could. In the short time she had spent with Malfoy in the Head's compartment she had started to feel something, or had it always been there? She didn't know, part of the reason she was crying was because her feelings confused her so much, she only hoped she could sort them out before she had to face Harry, Ron and Malfoy.
Meanwhile, in Draco's compartment, he was deep in thought. He tried over and over again to explain to himself why he had felt something for Hermione in the compartment. 'I can't believe it! She's probably put a spell on me or something! There is no way I could possibly be attracted to that stuck up Mudblood!' Draco, content with this explination, finally relaxed, but deep down, he knew that he was beginning to feel something towards Hermione and knew he couldn't stop it.
