Chapter 5

"Now, what is the incantation? Yes Miss Granger?" Professor McGonagle asked the girl whose hand had shot up into the air without hesitation.

"The incantation is 'Manditory Ilumination.'"

"Correct and can you give me a definition?"

"'Manditory Ilumination' Is used to give light when there is no possibility of light any other way. But there is a down side, it strips it caster of most of their strength and leaves them helpless unless the cast an even more powerful spell to boost their strength before that."

"Correct. Mr Finnegan can you tell me why most don't do this strengthening spell before hand…"

The Professors voice trailed off as, once again, Hermione sunk into a daydream of her current boyfriend. She couldn't get him out of her head and Ron could tell something was up, as he kept looking at her with a concerned look on his face.

The bell rang, signalling the end of class. Hermione leapt from her seat and headed for the door only to be called back by Professor McGonagle.

"Yes Professor?" She asked sincerely as she approached the desk.

"Miss Granger, you seemed rather distant in my class, and that was the class you had been begging me for in year four. You are now in year seven and I expected you to be a little more interested. Anything you want to tell me?" The Professor asked as Hermione sat down opposite her.

"No Professor, just some things going on. Nothing big."

"Ok. But I expect you to do all the extra credit home work for this."

"Yes Professor." Hermione sighed and got up to leave.

"Oh and one more thing Miss Granger." Hermione rolled her eyes and turned around.

"Yes Professor."

"Next time, try not to drool at the mention of the Slytherins." Hermione frowned. When did that happen? She thought as Professor McGonagle shuffled her out of the classroom.

She shrugged and went on her way to Lunch.

As she entered the hall, many heads turned in her direction, at first she thought it was because she had something on her face, but then she realised that they were staring at the scene that had just started to happen behind her. She turned to see Professor McGonagle and Professor Snape shouting spells at one another. Her eyes widened as one spell just missed her own head.

"Enough!" Came a shout from the castle entrance. It was Professor sprout.

"Enough. Talk about house rivalries. And you wonder were your students get the aggressiveness to do the exact same thing." The fighting Professors stopped and turned towards were all the children were standing watching. They flushed and both stormed of in a heat.

All the students turned and started walking back into the hall, talking wildly wondering what had happened.

As Hermione wandered back into the hall drifting off into her dreamy state once again she felt a hand brush against hers and looked up to see Draco walking silently next to her. He looked at her out of the corner of his eyes and said,

"Meet me in the old transfiguration classroom after lunch." Hermione nodded. Draco looked around quickly to make sure no one was watching and planted a small kiss on her lips, then walked ahead. Hermione stood there blushing and then decided she looked like an idiot and proceeded into the hall.

Pansy POV…

That bitch! How dare she steal my Draco, she may think I didn't see what happened but im not stupid. Im going to get my revenge on her for this. I thought as I watched the love of my life be smothered in her disgusting, un-glossed lips. I walked after Draco shoving her in the shoulder as I passed her, she just rolled her eyes. When Draco sat down I saw him see me and flinch. That's odd. Maybe he thought I was Granger coming after him. I sat across from him and took my foot out of my shoe and started rubbing up and down his leg. He shoved my foot away. I reached across the table to grab his hand, he hit me.

Why is he doing this…

General POV…

Hermione sat down next to Ginny at the Gryffindore table and they started chatting whilst eating. Ron piled his plate high with food, while Harry just sat there staring into space. Cho-chang had just kissed him, apologising for being a sook in year four. She had asked him out and he had said he would put some thought into it, which is exactly what he was doing.

Once she had finished, she saw Draco stand up and make his way out of the hall, catching her eye and winking at her. She didn't notice Pansy following him in a sort of hobble.

"Im going to go to the library and put in some effort to do my home work."

"It's the first day back Mione'!" Ron protested.

"Oh well, all the better to stay up to date." And she made her way out of the hall, towards the old transfiguration classroom.

Draco POV…

She just lunged at me; there was nothing I could to, her pug face smothering itself on mine. It took me a while to get over the shock, but when I did, I shoved her of me. Pushing her into the wall.

Hermione POV…

There they were just…kissing. We hadn't even been going out for twenty-four hours and already he was cheating on me. I just couldn't bear to watch it any more. I turned and I ran.

General POV…

Draco looked up and saw the retreating figure of Hermione running down the hall.

Oh shit! He thought as he pushed past the now sobbing Pansy. He ran as fast as he could to catch her shouting her name as he ran.

"Hermione, please wait!" She paused and looked around at him. Scowling.

"We have barely been going out twenty-four hours and already your cheating on me." She spat. Draco gaped.

"What? Cheating? No! Pansy followed me out of the hall without me noticing when I got to the transfiguration room she lunged at me, I couldn't do anything." Draco gasped. Hermione's face softened a bit and then it hardened again.

"How do I know your not lying to me?" She shouted.

"By this…" Draco barely whispered. He moved forward and caught her lips in his. The kiss was passionate, Hermione had to admit. Only true love could come from that kiss. But it tasted odd, as if Pansy had left a mark there to remind her of it. When they broke away Hermione stared Draco in the eyes, contemplating if she should believe him. And she did!

The end!

A/N: Thank you all for your reviews. I know this is a short story but it was only to get me back into the rhythm of writing if you know what I mean. I've been a bit lazy with my other story so I had to take a break and do this one. Again thanks heaps for your fabulous reviews.
