Chapter Two
Hermione was walking down the hall the walk to the Slytherin common room seemed to never end. "What am I doing?" Hermione paused for a second and banged her head against the wall. "Stupid stupid stupid!" After her little rant, she started walking again and she heard loud footsteps behind her.
"Hermione! St-o-p" Harry was behind her, out of breath from running. "You're mak—ing a big mi-stake." Harry caught up to Hermione and fell to the floor. "Why are you going to ask out Malfoy?"
"One; because he was nice. Two; to spite Ron. I know I should'nt, but maybe something could come of it." Hermione started walking again and Harry grabbed her ankles and she fell to the floor with a thump. "What was that for Potter?"
"Please don't. Ron is hurt, you're hurt. You acting on feelings that may not be there….well, you did admit that, but still!" Harry was too exhausted to continue and Hermione got up and left him there. "FINE!" Harry was angry and drained.
After a long walk, Hermione was finally in front of the Slytherin common room. After waiting a few minutes, she heard voices coming down the hall. Draco and his buddies.
"Hey Draco." Hermione put on her best "look at me, I'm adorable" look. "How's it going?"
"Why are you talking to me Granger? I thought I told you I don't talk to Mudbloods." Malfoy's henchmen walked into the common room leaving Hermione alone with Draco. "Seriously, why are you talking to me?" Draco looked as confused as Hermione did.
"Don't you remember what we talked about this morning?" Hermione searched his eyes for an answer. "It was you, right? I saw you!"
"Look, Granger, it wasn't me. I was in the common room all this morning, you can ask anyone. And for once, I'm sorry." Draco shrugged and walked into the common room leaving a very confused Hermione behind him.
"Alright….that did not go as expected." Hermione hung her head and walked the long walk back to the Gryffindor common room. She walked in and plopped on the couch. Seeing the ice cream Harry had left she grabbed a spoon from the drawer and took a big bite, just sitting there with her sorrows. 'if it wasn't Draco, who could it have been? It couldn't have been Ron, I could see him in the dining hall. It couldn't have been Harry, he came while I was with….whoever.' Hermione thought. 'arg!' As Hermione was muttering to herself, Harry came and sat next to her. "Oh, hey, Harry. You were right. As usual. It wasn't Malfoy. Who could it have been?"
"That's what I came here to tell you." Harry turned to face Hermione who was anxious to hear who the mystery guy is. "It was a guy who used a polyjuice potion. His name is Sean. He's a seventh year like us and he's new to the school. He is supposed to be in Gryffindor."
"Really? If he's new, how did he know so much about me?" Hermione was perplexed.
Author's Note: I know it's short. I wanted to update before I left for my plans tonight. There will be a long update tomorrow.
Thanks to Beautifullife and tennisjock.
tennisjock – the polyjuice potion idea was an idea of mine but after you said something about it being Ron I decided to run with that, but with a different guy! Thanks a lot!
