CHAPTER 3: CLICHÉ MOMENTS

The next morning Hermione woke up refreshed and ready to start another year of dreaded school. She wished that she had tried to get rid of her 'bookworm' image a long ago.

Ever since the beginning of their third year at Hogwarts learning had become just a bore to Hermione. The only reason she got her high marks was because of many late nights of studying.

'At least I've finally gotten rid of that look, and as soon as I get back to Hogwarts that stupid image will be gone…' Hermione thought to herself.

While Hermione dug through her draws for her pastel pink mini-skirt and her white singlet with a cute small pale pink jacket over the top, her mind was so full of what Harry and Ron would say…

She grabbed her hair brush and pulled her finally permanently straight locks of hair into a messy ponytail applied pink eye shadow, blush and her favourite strawberry scented, pink tinted lip gloss to complete her outfit off, she dug through her messy wardrobe until she found her super cute white flats with a cute bow on the end of each.

When Hermione finally felt satisfied with her outfit, she went to walk out the door to go down for breakfast, on the way she checked her phone and to her surprise she found that prince boy hadn't replied…

'That's odd…' Hermione thought 'he normally would have replied by now… oh well I'll check later' as she threw her phone into her trunk and closed it before making it hover out of the room and down the stairs by itself.

As she was walking down the stairs she began to hum her favourite tune…

Just let me hold you like you're falling apart

Just let me hold you and we both fall down

Fall on me

Tell me everything you want me to be

Forever with you forever in me

Ever the same

Call on me

I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me

Forever it's you

Forever in me

Ever the same

A/N this is a song by Rob Thomas called 'Ever the Same'

Stopping dead in her tracks Hermione realised that she was in the living room, the same room that he was in… Hermione cringed as she turned around and saw that he was still asleep…

'He looks so cute though when he's asleep' Hermione thought before mentally kicking herself… 'Bad Hermione bad…you can't think things like that about Slytherines… especially HIM!

Then she saw him flinch and stared at him for just him for just a second too long as he open his 'cute adorably gorgeous puppy-dog… stop it Hermione' eyes… then he looked at her… oh fuck… 'What am I meant to do now?' Hermione thought before he gave her this puzzled look, as he suddenly sat up and then proceeded to stand-up…

What happened next was like out of those really cheap corny romance books… he stood up and then lost his balance and toppled over…

Hermione ran and caught him just before he landed on top of her mums' collection of porcelain doll

A/N Hermione's mum likes to collect porcelain dolls.

As Hermione caught him and pulled him back, away from the dolls she lost her balance making both of them topple over and fall onto the carpet with him landing on top of her in a compromising position…

'There is no way that this could get any worse than this… except for my parents walking in on me like this… oh wait no! Why did I just think that… well… now I'm jinxed…' Hermione thought right before her parents walked into the room…

'Oh god' Hermione thought as she began to guess what her parents were thinking…

Then to Hermione's surprise they continued walking past the two of them and went into the kitchen where Hermione was sure she heard her mum giggling like a school girl…

'Gross' thought Hermione as she shovedMalfoy off her… just as she did she caught a puzzled look from Malfoy's face…

Though this wasn't one of Malfoy's usual looks of smug puzzlement…

This one was more like a cross between a look of lost, puzzlement almost like confusion…

'But why would Malfoy be confused' Hermione thought for a second as she stood up and straightened her outfit before turning around and taking one last peak at Malfoy…

'Hey a girl's allowed to have a second look…' Hermione thought as she went to leave the room…

But for some reason Hermione was unable to turn around… something in that angelic face kept her staring straight at him… almost hypnotic… but this was Malfoy that Hermione seemed to be fascinated with…

DRACO'S P.O.V

'Where am I?' Draco thought to myself… then he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his entire life…

'Damn…' he thought again 'if this is what hell has to offer… I should have gone there a long time ago…'

But for some reason there was something in that face that seemed familiar to Draco… the sparks of hatred that seemed to be coming from her… he could feel that they were aimed at him… but instead of angering him as well… instead they… gave Draco the opposite feeling… one of calmness and that he knew her… from somewhere… but where was that somewhere…

Just as she turned to walk out of the room at last Draco got one last chance to look at her… her womanly curves…. And delicious looking lips… and those fabulous legs… 'Damn… she's so hot' Draco though before remembering that he had no idea where he was…

BACK TO THE STORY…

Suddenly as quick as the feeling of lust for Malfoy had come to Hermione it was gone as Malfoy spoke…in a gruff male voice… that if she didn't despise him so much would have had her suddenly weak at the knees… those strong powerful eyes had Hermione feeling she wanted to cower behind something from all the power that they seemed to emit…

Suddenly she looked at his face again… 'He was looking at me… oh my god… wait didn't he just say something to me? Shit…' Hermione thought as she stared vacantly at Malfoy…

"Um… HELLO! In there" Malfoy said as he stood up "didn't you hear what I just said?" he said with a hint of a snarl…

"What do you want ferret?" Hermione replied with a death stare that would have left even the devil cowering from her…

"Ahhhh…" replied Malfoy "well that sure narrows down my choices…" he replied with a mischievous grim…

Then as if he just wanted to piss Hermione off he stands up, flexes his muscles and then walks over to her as whispers in my ear "kidnapping Granger… well I guess that's expected of you and your type…"

By now Hermione was seething, ready to rip Malfoy to shreds, kick and punch him until he apologised to her… but she knew that he would beat her… then he looked in her eyes before walking off replying to her thought as if he knew what she was thinking "I'll beat you every time Granger so don't even bother…"

Just as Hermione was about to whip out her wand and throw the most evilest curse she knew to use upon him… as fate should dictate that plan was postponed Hermione's fire place released a giant puff of green smoke causing her parents to run into the room in a panic…

"Hermione dear are you ok?" her mum called out to Hermione as the smoke filled the whole room…

"I'm fine mum" she replied as she flexed her muscles ready for whatever had caused this smoke… then as the smoke subsided and the room became somewhat visible again a tall figure appeared still surrounded in the strange smoke… Hermione knew that this person must be a wizard… but the question still remained… who… then she got a glimpse of their face and let out a gasp of surprise…

'No…' she thought as she realised who they were… "Mum, dad…run!" Hermione yelled as she shoved them out of the room as a blinding green flash erupted from the wand of the intruder… after that everything when black…

as Hermione fell into a deep slumber of unconsciousness… she suddenly felt a light tingling sensation… like she did with the floo powder… but… then Hermione finally lost all consciousness and recognition of where she was…
