A/N: Hey people, just a heads up, my computer's busted so it's gonna take awhile for me to update this story. The good news is that I've got it halfway done, the bad news is that it's on my home computer and my disk is with Courtney so I couldn't tranfer it to this computer to post up the next five chapters, so yeah... it's gonna be a long wait... Oh and Kaimei Jaganshi, I totally agree with you! If they weren't so important to the story then I would just get rid of Harry's friends! Ginny might randomly die in the background, I hate her so much and she's pointless to the story... maybe she will die...

-----------------------------------Chapter 2. Hermione and Draco!-------------------------

POV: Hermione

I'mgoingoutwithDracoMalfoy… I'm going out with Draco Malfoy… I'm going out, with Draco Malfoy…

No, no matter how you say it, it still sounds weird.

All of this is way too much like that old teen-movie I used to watch… what was it called? Oh, She's All That! It's about when an evil jock asks out a dorky girl for some reason unknown to the girl (I think it was a bet), the girl finds out, but it's all good because they're in love with each other. I doubt that's like anything that's going on here, though… stuff like that never happens in real life.

Then again, Draco Malfoy is the hottest boy in school! Yeah, I know he's a major jerk and all, but omigod! Those long legs, those hips, that killer ass, his beautiful eyes and pretty mouth and soft lips, and omigod he has that wavy blond hair! Need I go on? The point is that you can ask anyone in the school (including guys and some teachers (there are very few who will answer this question for fear of getting fired…)) and they will all agree on this: Draco Malfoy is hot!

I thought all this over as I walked into the Great Hall, taking my usual seat next to Harry (and Ron).

"What's up 'Mione? Are you feeling okay?" Harry asked me.

I flinched. Oh shoot! I had completely forgotten about Harry's crush on Draco! Putting on a fake smile, I nodded. "Y-yeah, I'm fine," I lied, keeping my voice casual.

This answer seemed to satisfy him. (Glancing at Ron to make sure he wasn't paying attention,) Harry leaned forward so that his mouth was next to my ear. "Guess what," he whispered, "I'm finally going to do it. I'm going to ask Draco out after Potion's class!"

"Uh, Harry… I—I don't think that's such a good idea…' I muttered, shying away from him.

Harry moved back, a questioning look on his face. "Why not? I mean, I've liked him for awhile now, and I think it's about time I actually did something about it instead of just… admiring from afar," he said, smiling slightly as he glanced over my shoulder. He blushed just ever so slightly and looked down, scowling. "What the hell!" he hissed.

I turned around and saw that Draco had entered the Great Hall and was walking straight towards us. Shootshootshoot! I have to tell him now before Draco does! "Harry, I'm going out with Draco!" I said, turning to face him.

"WHAT!" he shouted, jumping up from his seat. The Hall quickly quieted as people began to stare. Glaring daggers at me, Harry grabbed me roughly by the arm and pulled me from my seat. He proceeded to… er…"escort" me from the Great Hall (Ron following for some reason or another). As we passed Draco, I risked glancing at Harry, and from the look on his face, I could tell he was having trouble keeping himself from killing Draco then and there. Thankfully he didn't, and we made it from the Great Hall and into an empty classroom without incident.

As soon as he locked the door and had a silencing charm up, he began to yell. "What the hell Hermione! Going out with Malfoy! What the hell were you thinking!" he asked (well, screamed would probably be a better word for it…), sharpening his glare ("Yeah!" Ron shouted from somewhere in the background). I shifted uncomfortably and looked down at my feet, trying to avoid having to look Harry in the eyes.

He stopped shouting, but kept his voice cold and harsh as he continued, "Dammit Hermione, you knew I liked him" ("What!" Ron yelled, his voice high pitched with disbelief as he looked at Harry), "but you went and asked him out anyways!"

"For your information," I said angrily, looking up at him and glaring at him, "Draco asked me out! Besides, it's none of your business who I date!"

"Yeah it is if it's the guy I like!" (Ron asked Harry if he was serious about liking Malfoy, and if so, why had nobody bothered to tell him. Harry told him to "shut the fuck up" before returning to his attention to me) "Hermione how could you do this to me!"

By then I was thoroughly pissed off. How could I do this to him! What the heck! Why couldn't he just say "good for you" and support my decision (like he obviously would've expected me to have had it been him Draco had chosen)! Well fine! If he was going to blow things completely out of proportion, so be it!

"Grow up Harry," I snapped, walking past him and over to the door. "The world doesn't revolve around you, you know! And if you wanted Draco so badly, why didn't you try asking him out sooner!" I smiled sweetly at him, "Or was it just another one of your schemes to become center of attention? God forbid you not be the talk of the entire school!" I undid the lock and stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind me.

I tried to hold back my tears as I stomped down to the dungeons for Potions, furious at Harry. I knew I was being unfair to him by saying that stuff about his feelings being a scheme, so that just made me feel worse!

I looked up as I entered the classroom and saw Draco standing by his usual seat, his eyebrows furrowing in concerned confusion when he saw me.

I couldn't help myself; I was feeling so upset and really needed someone to comfort me. I ran over to my new boyfriend and threw my arms around him. Burying my face in his shirt, I started crying as I told him what had happened.

"Shh, calm down Hermione," he whispered soothingly as he awkwardly returned my embrace, but I just couldn't stop my tears.

The next thing I knew, Draco had his mouth against mine, kissing me softly…

A/N: There isn't any, sorry (though I have the feeling most of you are glad you don't have to listen to my ramblings). I got the new Papa Roach and Bowling for Soup CD and that's about it…. Wow, that was months ago, though...
