Chapter Three
-#-
Hermione was walking towards her and Malfoy's carriage when she was suddenly pulled to a hug. A clashing red hair squealed at her arms as she returned the hug.
"Ginny!" The girl took two steps back as she looked at Hermione with sparkling eyes. Ginny had bushy red hair just like her brother so she was noticed amidst all the others. She fidgeted in excitement as she saw the Head Girl badge on Hermione and smiled.
"Hermione! You're Head Girl?" She nodded in response.
Ginny let out another squeal. "Who's Head Boy? Is it Harry?"
Hermione sighed miserably. "Unfortunately, It's Malfoy." Ginny giggled. Hermione looked at her weirdly and raised a brow.
Ginny sighed. "Honestly, Hermione. You are so deft not to see a hot guy in your front when you see one! Draco… ("Draco is it now?" Hermione let out a sarcastic laugh.) is the Sex God of Hogwarts!"
Hermione snorted. "Oh please! Malfoy? Hot? Is that approved to be in the same sentence?" She suddenly felt hands encircling her waist.
"Well, well, Granger. Don't think I'm hot enough do you?" he breathed in her sweet scent. He felt her tense up. He smirked at her neck as he got addicted to her sweet lemony scent.
She pushed his hands away as she tried to hide the blush that started to creep at her cheeks. "Malfoy." She said in a strangled voice.
Malfoy smirked at her. "Come on, Granger. We got to get going. And you Weasley," turning to Ginny. "Go to your own carriage or you will be left behind."
Ginny grinned at Hermione and before she went to her carriage, she winked at her and mouthed 'Hot'. Hermione rolled her eyes fondly.
Hermione didn't protest as Draco held her hand as he ushered her to their own carriage and closed the door behind them. 'He is definitely up to something.' She thought.
She noticed that Draco was looking at her in an unusual way and looked away but not before he sent her a wink.

They reached the great hall in utter silence, but sent unnoticed glances when the other one wasn't looking.
Hermione's eyes went wide and felt sweat running down her face as she went to the Gryffindor table. The Great Hall was over-decorated. All the Hogwarts House were embroided in enormous silk banners. Red with a gold lion for Gryffindor, blue with a bronze eagle for Ravenclaw, green with a silver serpent for Slytherin, and yellow with a black badger for Hufflepuff.
She saw Harry and Ron waving at her enthusiastically at the end of the table. Ron gushed on and on about something that she couldn't understand completely.
"Oh really! Gosh this is so embarrassing. I really wanted her to notice me… blah blah."
Harry could only roll his eyes in amusement. He noticed that Hermione was sending glances every now and then at the Slytherin table and blushing afterwards. He looked to where she was staring at and froze. What? Why was she looking at…
"Hermione!" Someone squealed. "Omigosh! You're so beautiful."
He looked to where the voice belonged to. It was Parvarti with Lavender giggling. "Really. What's your secret? I would love to know it! My complexion is kind of getting… irritating." She frowned.
Hermione flushed. "Uh… nothing. Just normal washing."
Harry stared at Hermione. She's beautiful. Extraordinarily beautiful. Gorgeously beautiful. Her hair tamed to its content, flowing gracefully down her back to her waist. Her eyes twinkled whenever she was smiling, it could make any boy blush with attraction. Her mouth, sweet lusciously red, was swollen from the way she licking it like she was seducing somebody. Her body, she filled in all the scrumptious places.
"Harry?" her enchanting voice rang through his head like bells. "Harry?"
He looked at Hermione and blushed. She was so close to him that he could feel her heat radiating towards his body. "Hey 'Mione! Err… What are you doing here?"
She looked at him oddly. "I'm in Gryffindor also if had forgotten, Harry."
He blushed madder than ever. "Oh! Yeah, I… uh." What was wrong with him? He haven't been like this around her before. So what's happening now?
"Right." She said turning her attention to the bickering Ron and Lavender. They had hooked up last year. He had been acting weird since… well now. But whatever. Why was he acting like that towards her now? He was like starting to act nervously towards her.
"I'll never know." She muttered under her breath and watched the argument amusedly.

Draco watched the former bushy-haired muggle-born giggle in glee. He wished he could be there, laughing with her. He shook his head in disbelief. Why would he want to be there with her?
"Draco…" Pansy cooed. "Why aren't you eating your food? It's getting cold. Like me." She winked at him.
Draco looked at her disgustingly. "Pansy. I'm going to eat." He said coldly.
Pansy pouted. "You're always like that around me whenever we're out of bed."
"Even out of bed." Someone piped up. It was Goyle. "I heard him."
Pansy shrieked and got up from her seat, slapping Goyle senseless. Goyle was laughing his head off while Crabbe was eating his food, or choking rather on his food. Draco rolled his eyes and continued staring at Hermione's flushed face.

Liked it? Hated it?
I'm sorry if it was so short but I'm trying to finish my other projects, eh. I apologize for the constant cliffhangers.
Anyway, thank you for all of the reviews! I wish you could review more. ::wink::wink:: Well see you guys!
