Chapter Three: Names, Threats, and Violence
After my little 'encounter' with Draco, I went to my room and crawled up in my bed. I thought, 'Why was this happening?' We hated eachother yet everytime we got close to eachother we kissed and groped. Just thinking about it makes me want to gag and die. I surely wasn't go consult anyone about this little problem because it's hard enough admitting it to myself.
After I thought about what happened, I went down into the so called 'Common Room.' I hadn't taken the time to admire it before, but now that I think about it, it's very pretty. The windows stretched from the floor to the ceiling and looked kind of old fashioned. I guess since I was from Gryffindor and Draco was from Slytherin the color scheme had to be maroon and green with silver and gold trimmings. Kinda Christmas looking is you asked me. There was one huge fireplace to the right of the entrance and straight across the staircase that led to mine and Malfoy's dorms. There were two big comfy chairs on each side of the fireplace and a long table in the middle. There were other little gadgets and neat stuff around too.
As I walked down the stairs, I noticed that night had fallen and I went over to the window. The sky was full of stars and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I knew tomorrow was the first day of school, but I wanted to stay up all night and look at those stars. I was transfixed.
"What are you doing?" came a cold voice from behind me. There went my moment of peace.
"I'm looking at the night sky for you're information." I replied, not even turning around to face him
"It's just a bunch of stars. Nothing special about them." Malfoy said as he stepped to the other side of the window I was standing at.
"Get away from me you dung ball." I snapped.
"I smell very good, you mudblood! I just took a shower, if you must kno-"
"Shut your mouth you thick-witted monkey!"
"Is this about our kiss?" he asked briskly. I stared at him. Just when I had gotten that off of my mind...
"Listen butt-monkey, I don't know what kind of spell you put on me, but that is never happening again!" I told him. He glared at me.
"I put a spell on you? I don't think so! You're the one who put a spell on me! I've known you've liked me for years and-"
"As if! You're a nastly little twerp who needs to go live in a dog pound where he belongs!"
He scowled at me and inched closer. HIs face was not even two inches from mine.
"I know you like me, Grang-" he started, but I cute him off wil a nice hard slap. SMACK! right across his face. I stepped back away from him and gave him the dirtiest look I could muster.
"How dare you tell me how I feel about YOU! I could care less about you you little spoiler brat. If you ever come near me like that again I WILL hurt you in ways you never knew possible. Understand?! What happened between us will never happen again and I DO NOT LIKE YOU!" I yelled at him. I don't think he was over the shock of the slap though. He just looked down and didn't move. I thought about slapping him out of it, literally, but I didn't. Instead, I ran up the stairs and to my dorm, not even looking back. I could only imagine how mad Malfoy must have been.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning I got up early to get out of the Common Room before Malfoy woke up. Seeing his face in the morning wasn't the best thing for me. I grabbed my back pack and left through the door, even if I had to cross the silver line to do it.
I headed for the Gryffindor Common Room to meet Harry and Ron. I hadn't seen them since the sorting. I told the Fat Lady and password and entered. The smell was so wonderful and all of the memories I had in there came rushing back. I looked around and noticed a few people were up already.
"Hermione!" came a squeal from behind me. I turned around to see Parvati and Lavender still in their night gowns, drinking coffee. They hurried up to me and beamed.
"Parvati! Lavender!" a said, trying to sound excited, even though I was in a bad mood. "How have you guys been? I haven't seen you since yesterday!"
"We're great." said Lavender, "But we're really wanting to know about you..." her voice trailed off. Then Parvati picked up, "How is it being able to share a whole common room with Draco Malfoy! Have you noticed how cute he is?"
I tried not to gag.
"It's not everything it's cracked up to be. I'd switch with you girls any time if I could-"
"Really!" they squealed together like they were fans of him or something.
"But I can't. School rules." I finished.
"Oh..." they both trailed off. They sure did think alike waaay to much. I was beginning to think that maybe Lavender should have been Parvati's twin and not Padma.
After we caught up a bit, I saw Ron and Harry coming out of their Dorm.
"Harry!" I yelled up the staircase. "Ron! Hey!"
That seemed to wake them up. They literally slid down the side of the staircase and met me at the bottem.
"Hermione! I'm so glad to see you in one piece! We thought that Malfoy would have murdered you by now!" Harry said.
"Yeah, we were kind of worried." said Ron.
"I'm okay," I told them, "As a matter of fact, I slapped him last night." I told them in a whisper. Their eyes widened.
"Oh, I wish I could have seen that!" said Harry.
"I can just imagine it!" Ron added.
I was lucky they didn't ask me why.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
During Potions in the afternoon, I caught Drac-Malfoy staring at me. So did Pansy. She caught up with me after class with her little Girl Gang.
"What the bleeding hell is going on between my precious Draco and you, mudblood?" she asked me.
"Absolutely nothing, now get out of my way. I have things to do." I told her, standing up. She wasn't so tall. I was only about an inch taller than her.
"Well you're all he ever talks about!" she shouted. "And I don't like it."
"And you think I do? You want to know what's it like living him everyday? It's only been two and I'm so sick of him I could die."
"Feel free to drop dead any minute then. You should consider yourself lucky being able to spend so much time with the most perfect guy in the world! I know girl's who would give their right arm to be in the position you're in."
"Feel free to cut it off any minute then, Pansy. I couldn't care less." I told her. Then I forced my way through her 'friends' and left the classroom. I found Harry and Ron waiting for me.
"What was all that about, Hermione?" Ron asked me.
"Pansy thinks I like Draco and she's jealous." I told them simply. They laughed. And laughed.
"Are you serious? Everyone knows you hate his guts! Don't worry about it Hermione, she's just an air-head." Harry told me. I smiled weakly.
"So what class is next?" Ron asked, trying to break up mine and Harry's 'moment'.
"I have Arithmancy next, so I guess this is where we part." I told them. They agreed and we said our goodbyes.
*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*
As I rounded the corner I bumped into something. Can you guess who it was? Malfoy. He stood there, unfazed and looked down at me.
"Watch were you're going you rodent." he retorted. I saw Crabbe and Goyle step out from behind him. They laughed stupidly.
I got up and gave him a nasty look. "How's the face Malfoy? Did I leave a mark or are you covering it up with make-up?"
"You're pathetic attempt of a slap didn't do anything to me. And speaking of make-up, you really do need some. Do you always look this flushed or is it-"
"Shut up." I told him. He came closer, almost grinning. I could have sworn his eyes looked like a thunderstorm.
"I would appreciate it if you let me finish talking, mudblood; for what I have to say if way more important than anything you can even dream of."
I wanted to punch him right then and there. I wanted to draw blood or cause him so much pain...
"What? No comeback? Figures..." he said.
"Get away from me, Maggot." I warned.
"Make me." he said, inching closer...again.
A random plan popped into my head.
"Maybe I will." I said as I moved in closer. I let my lips brush past his as I said this and whispered it into his ear. For a second I thought he was smelling my hair.
"Do it." he said softly.
Then I kneed him hard in his groin.
"Jack ass." I commented and then left for my next class.
