Hermione listened as Harry talked about his summer with the Weasley's at the Burrow. Her eyes drifted to Ron and she noticed that he was still staring at her, she smirked and looked back at Harry, she didn't want to seem rude for not aknowledging him when he is talking. She uncrossed her legs and crossed them again when Harry told her about the attack that was made for Fred and George's shop. Her eyes widened and she held up her hand to stop him from talking."Are they okay? How much damage was done? Are they comming back home?" Hermione had moved to the edge of her seat, fear flashing in her eyes. She watched as Ginny took her hand and smiled at her "Don't worry Hermione their fine, their a bit shooken up but other than that their fine." She smiled to her and decided that it was time to change the subject. "So Hermione, we've all notice a change about you, mind sharing with us?" Ginny elbowed her playfully.
Hermione looked over at Ginny and bit her lower lip. " A change?" She grinned and looked down at her outfit. "Oh I see what you mean. I haven't changed at all I just figured that I should widen my choice of clothing." She shrugged and stood up, needing to stretch. Her eyes shifted to Ron, he had just stood up and walked to the door. Hermione watched him, thinking that he was about to leave, but he did something that was least expected. He turned around and looked at Harry and Ginny, more like stared at them. "Me and Hermione need to talk, you two mind leaving for a little while?" It was more like a command than a question. Hermione watched as Harry and Ginny walked out of the compartment and Ron shut the door. She shifted her weight from foot to foot, not really knowing what to do or say. "So Ron, what's up?" She nearly screamed when Ron suddenly charged at her and pinned her to the wall by her wrists. He pressed his body flat against hers and ran one hand down her side. Hermione tried to free her wrists which were being tightly held against the wall by one of Ron's hands. He was much stronger than her, which was expected seeing how he has been playing Quiditch for a few years. "Ron what are you doing?" Hermione asked as she moved her head away from Ron as he tried to kiss her. "Hold still 'Mione and you'll find out." Her eyes widened, as much as she loved Ron, she didn't want to do anything like that with him.
She quickly slammed her knee against his groin. He let go of her and fell onto the ground, withering in pain. Hermione stared down at him for a minute, catching her breath. With one last look at him she opened up the compartment door and ran down the corridor, when Ginny and Harry spoted her they asked her where she was going. "The Heads Meeting!" She called over her shoulder as she ran to the end of the corridor. When she reached the right compartment she opened up and stepped inside, she was just a few minutes early so no one was expected to be there.
Walking over to an empty seat, Hermione sat down and sighed heavily. What had just happened? Had Ron really pushed her against that wall? She focused her eyes on the blur of things that the train was passing at a fast speed. Hermione shivered, she could still feel his hand running down her side, his breath on her neck. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard some one say her name.
" Granger what are you doing here?" Draco drawled out lazily. Even though he no longer called her mudblood still he stuck with her last name. He looked at her for some time until he realized that he was staring, quickly he averted his eyes to the wall just behind her left shoulder. "What's wrong?" He noticed that she looked rather upset. Like something horrible just happened to her. Anger flashed in his eyes. Draco didn't want her to be so upset, and that scared him. 'Why do I care so much. Sure she's sexy as hell but it's Granger of all people. I shouldn't care why she's upset...' He thought as his eyes drifted back to her.
Startled Hermione looked up and notice that it was Draco Malfoy who had spoken, she shrugged her shoulders. "I was announced Head Girl this year, and I guess I'm a bit early." She didn't feel like arguing with him right now, so the easiest thing to do would be to just answer flatly with out having a snotty tone. Just talk like a robot. To show no emotion. She looked at him and her eyes traveled up and down his body, until she noticed that she was checking him out, she blushed and looked back out the window. ' Merlin look at him, he looks absolutely yummy..Wait! Why am I thinking this? This is MALFOY of all people! I should completely dispise him. He had tormented me for years! I shouldn't care how good he looks...' She shook her head slightly as if to shake out all of her thoughts. "I need to stop thinking so much.." She mummbled to herself.
