A cold breeze is blowing at me and I realized I'm shivering. I grabb the hem of my jacket and pull it around my chest to keep warm. Winter really is coming early this year... I walk as fast as I can, trying to reach Hagrid's hut without becoming a living snowman. I knock on the door and a familiar face popps up.

"Hello 'Mione"

"Hi Hagrid! How are you?"

"Meh, could be better."

"What happened"

"That stupid wind knocked out all my crops-

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that"

"Oh don't worry, I'm used to the way Ron talks, not to mention the horrible slurs some infamous slytherins yell at me occasionally."

"They're still doing that?! Pathetic"

"I know right? When will they grow up?"

We talk for a while and I have so much fun. I really needed to take my mind off things lately and chatting with Hagrid over a warm mug of hot chocolate was just what I needed. yes, Hagrid has finally learned how to cook

later that day

I walk into the library and take a book from the top shelf. I really don't feel like studying or doing homework, all I want is to relax. I sit down and get engulfed in my reading but after not even ten minutes my peace gets destroyed by a very annoying and unwanted voice. I could recognize that voice anywhere. Without even taking my eyes off the page I say: "What do you want?" I look up quickly and notice his face gives off a hurt expression but he shakes it off quickly and returns to his grim smirk. "Hello there Granger"

He probably expects me to say hi to him in return but I completely refuse to do so.

He realizes that I won't acknowledge him so he just goes on "You happen to have the exact book I need"

"And what am I supposed to do about it?" I say with an irritated tone.

"Give it to me?"

"NO!"

"Okay okay no need to be so nasty...How about as soon as you're done reading it you give it to me."

I'm about to answer when I'm interrupted by him saying: "Wait, don't forget to clean it. I really don't want to have mudblood germs"

"What in the name of Salazar slytherin do you want from me?" I yell. "I don't care if you need this book, I have it and I keep it for as long as I want"

"What do you think you're doing yelling like this in a library?!"

I turn around and find myself face to face with a tiny but scary looking lady. I shiver afraid of what she's going to do to me. I always hate being yelled at.

"I-I'm so sorry. This won't happen again"

"It absolutely won't. You are suspended from the library for a week starting from now"

There is no use in arguing so I get up, book in hand, and start for the door.

"The book stays here" the librarian says through gritted teeth.

I'm fuming now but I leave the book on the shelf and leave in a rush, not even turning back to say goodbye. I know this is very unlike me but I have been very stressed lately and things just keep on getting worse.

As soon as I get to my room I swing open the door to the washroom and turn on the faucet of my tub. Once it's half full and the water is hot enough I lay down in the bath and let the water soak me. Letting the heat reach every inch of me and smelling the sweet perfume of my bath bomb. The water is the only place where I feel safe and can truly relax. I would usually read a book whenever I took a bath but not today. All I do is lay my head on the rim and close my eyes. After what seems like an eternity I realize the water is cold so I get up and wrap a towel around me, letting the remaining water wash away. I tie my hair up in a bun and let the droplets fall to the ground. The first things I find in my closet are a pair of leggings and a casual sweater so I wear those. It's not compulsory to wear my uniform if I don't have lessons so I take advantage of that and wear casual muggle clothes. I look at the time and realize that I should have been in the great hall for dinner ten minutes ago. I shove on the first pair of shoes I find and sprint to the great hall. I run through the doors and realize everyone has turned their heads toward me. I feel burning hot, maybe embarrassed or maybe because of the burning bath I took just a while ago. I sit down at the gryffindor table, next to Ginny and Neville. Harry and Ron are in the seats in front of me chatting. Probably about quidditch.

Dinner goes by pretty well, nothing unusual happens and the food is great like always. It's about a quarter to seven and I get up and start for my dorm. The hall is semi-empty since students are excused from dinner at 6.30. There are a few first years here and there finishing up their second portion of dessert and just a few others around the hall. But the one person who catches my attention isn't a first year. It's that awfully good looking, arrogant, mean and annoying blond slytherin. 'Omg, good looking? How did that even come to mind?' I shrug that off, not putting too much weight to my thoughts and look at him for a few seconds. He's alone at the slytherin table, reading a book peacefully. I take a few steps closer in his direction to make out the title of the book. But as I read it I instantly regret it.

That bloody ferret is reading my book! The one I was reading when he interrupted me and got me banned from the library. All I want to do right now is go and yell at him but then again, he looks so peaceful. Like he's in a world of his own. I decide against it and walk out of the great hall.

Once I reach the stairs I begin to run. There's not a specific reason for why I'm running, I just really want to get to my dorm quickly. I keep on running in the dimly lit hallways. I reach a corner that leads directly to the fat ladies portrait but as soon as I turn the corner the world goes in slow motion and I feel my face against something hard and sturdy.

I try to grab hold of something but my hands don't find anything other than air and I fall to the ground. The last thing I feel is my head against the marble floor and then darkness.

Hello wonderful people!

I realized I was going too fast so I tried to slow the romance down. Sorry for the super long wait but I never had inspiration. Anyways, don't worry...some fluff will come eventually. And this is a long chapter as a thankyou gift for being so patient with me.
