Sadly I don't own Harry potter, J.K. Rowling does, I decided that I would indeed continue this story I am stopping my other story though, but I am writing a new story as we speakā¦.also I would like to mention that in this story Malfoy dad is in Azkaban and he's on the good side even though he is still mean.
Hermione ran down the corridor desperately trying to find her first class, she had stopped several people and asked them but they did not seem to want to help her. She final reached classroom 17A, she pushed the door open and looked around, Ginny was already there and seated in the back row next to Blaise. She smiled and walked over sitting down next to Ginny. "You won't believe it Ginny, I asked at least four people where this class was and all of them just looked at me and shrugged. You would think that they could be of some help to us!"
"I know, finally I met up with Blaise in the hall and he got a map from somewhere so luckily I got here on time. Where's Malfoy? Aren't you guys like supposed to stay together?" Ginny said.
"Well he woke up late so I left, im not going to be late because of him." Hermione stated. But just then someone pushed the door open. It was Malfoy, and he was late as usual. "Maybe the teachers wont let him get away with being late" Hermione thought hopefully, but the teacher didn't seem to care at all that he was late she just looked at him as he took a seat next to her.
After a long day filled with rushing to classes, trying new, and very different spells and spending the day with Malfoy she pushed the door to her room open. She entered the room and Malfoy lifted his head and went back to his work, she walked over to her side of the room and threw her book on her bed.
"what took you so long granger its been 15 minutes since our class ended and your just getting in, have you been up to something that I should know about?" he said with a smirk.
"Even if I was Malfoy," she furrowed her eyebrows, "I wouldn't tell you, but for your information I had trouble finding my way back to my room. Its great you offered to help me find my way back here considering you seem to know the castle pretty well." She finished.
"Oh well I try," he smirked again and she gave him a mean glance and sat down on her bed. "by the way are you planning to take a shower anytime soon, you really should try to get some of that Mudblood filth off, but anyways if your not planning to, I would like to take a shower."
"Whatever, Malfoy just go take a shower and get out of my face." She yelled at him and stood up.
"Trust me granger when im in your face you will know it." He shot back as he got up and stood chest to chest with her looking down at Hermione, she stepped back. "Plus," he added "if I was in your face you would probably be enjoying it" he smiled slyly.
"You wish I would Malfoy, I would rather die than enjoy your company." she fired.
"Well that's good Granger, because I can do much better than a filthy Mudblood, and you fully know that, well im going to go shower now." Draco picked out his clothes from his closet, and walked out of the room.
Hermione laid back on her bed and stared at the ceiling wondering why Malfoy had to be so rude to her. Yes she was a Muggle-born, but that didn't give him license to taunt her, "I bet all of my grades are better than his and well, im still a very good witch, blood means nothing," she thought. She decided not to think much more of it; Malfoy was always going to ridicule her, no matter how well she did in school, or what she did. She fell asleep quickly due to the fact that she was so exhausted from the day.
She woke up with a start, seeing that it was time to go get breakfast and go to her first class, she got out of bed and dressed, and headed out the door but only after realizing that Malfoy was no where to be seen. She shrugged and headed down the stairs. She went into the kitchen conjured a bagel with cream cheese and sat down to eat. Then she headed into the common room so she could get to her classes and there was Malfoy sitting on the couch. "Malfoy?" she asked slightly shocked.
"I thought about what you said last night and Im gonna walk with you to our classes so that you can get there on time."
"Wow, change of heart Malfoy?" Hermione asked
"No, Dumbledore said I have to." He stated firmly, "over my dead body would I do it by free will." Hermione shook her head and Malfoy walked out the door to go to their first class and Hermione followed.
"You know, Malfoy you don't have to be such an ass! You could actually treat me like a person sometimes.
"Excuse me Granger but you are horribly rude to me also!" Malfoy yelled back at her.
"Oh, B.S. Malfoy! You started it all I had nothing against you at the beginning of first year. It was you being rude to me that started it, you didn't like me from the beginning just because of my blood!" she retorted.
Malfoy looked down at his feet almost unsure of himself for a minute and then walked right up to her. "Well why shouldn't I Granger you are a Mudblood there's nothing more to it. Now we have class let's go," he whispered harshly in her ear, he then pushed the door open to their class. She looked at him with fire in her eyes "how can he say things like that to me" she thought, "It's not fair."
They went to their classes but when they got to the last class Hermione broke the hour's long silence, "Malfoy I don't understand why we can be decent to each other, I don't get it at all, can we just vow not to fight, you know it would make both our lives easier." She asked politely and hopefully.
"Fine, Granger, but this doesn't mean were going to be friends, I still think the same of you." He answered
"Good Malfoy I wouldn't want it any other way, I have no desire to be your friends whatsoever." She told him, they finished their class with no threats toward each other, and finishing their work together. Neither would admit it but they were both thankful that they were finally being decent to each other.
As he lay in bed Malfoy thought about the events of the day, about fighting with Granger and then by the end of the day actually having a civilized conversation with her. "Maybe," he thought, "she's not so bad, I mean everyone has noticed her looks, they've changed but there's always her attitude, she is so hard to work with sometimes. But there's always the fact that she's a Mudblood, that will never change, and that is what stops everything."
At about 3am there was a knock on the door Hermione woke with a start, and answered it. Dumbledore was standing there with a sad expression on his face. "Hello professor what brings you here at 3:10 in the morning?" Hermione asked sleepily, checking her watch.
"Well Ms. Granger im not here on good terms, unfortunately, I need you to follow me to my office I think you Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said while looking at Malfoy who was sitting up on his bed, Hermione had not noticed until then that he was up. "Should join us too, now both of you please follow me." He led them both down the stairs and into a large office looking a lot like the one Dumbledore had at Hogwarts, but this one only had one floor.
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy please take a seat, now this is not good news unfortunately, Ms. Granger at 2:17 this morning your parents were killed. I am so sorry Ms. Granger but if you can hold up for one more minute I have more news and this is not so much bad as it is going to be surprising." Dumbledore said. Hermione looked at him her eyes full of sorrow, she seemed to be in too much shock to cry or talk.
"Ms. Granger, I had no intention of ever telling you this for fear for your safety, but the people you know as your parents aren't actually your parents. Your real parents were both a huge part of the Order the last time Voldemort was in power, and ended up sending many, many people to Azkaban. When you were born they were afraid that because of how many people they had angered over the years that you would probably be killed. Voldemort's side could not ever deal with another person like your mother or father. Shortly after you were born and placed with the muggles, your real parents were killed. You are in Gryffindor, Hermione because your parents were very brave and you have the potential to be braver and more courageous than they could ever be. That is why Mr. and Mrs. Granger were killed, because they wanted to shut you down, cause turmoil in your life, emotionally disable you. So you have to be strong Ms. Granger, because you have great potential."
"Wait so my real parents were aurors, and so for my safety I lived with muggles, and im not Muggleborn? Oh and I have great potential as an auror or something?" Hermione asked still in total shock..
"Yes, your parents were aurors and your pureblood, and you would make a great auror." Dumbledore responded. Hermione looked at him and then at Malfoy who was sitting there staring at her. Malfoy sat there thinking "wait, wait she's pureblood, I've spent all my years at Hogwarts teasing her." He sat there in silence. Dumbledore dismissed them and told them to get some sleep so they went back to there room. Both still in shock Hermione and Draco went to bed, but neither could sleep, Hermione wondered why Malfoy had to come to hear the news too, it just didn't make sense.
