A/N: Before we start the story, I am sorry I didn't upload yesterday,downloads are over and blah blah blah. But here is a sorta long-ish chapter with some Draco/Hermione interaction :D ENJOY!
"Hermione…?" Ron asked softly.
"Hermione, are you okay?" She heard Harry say, a little bit louder than Ron.
"Uhh.. 'Mione!"
"What, sorry? I wasn't paying attention" Hermione looked around at her three best friends, tears in her eyes, threatening to spill over any second.
"What happened?"
"Gin, she doesn't have to tell us if she doesn't want to."
"Yeah, she's pretty shaken."
"Its okay guys, I'll tell you." Hermione cast a silencing charm around the four of them and began to speak.
"I was just on my way to Arithmancy, you know that's my second favourite class!" Hermione couldn't help getting off topic.
"Yes 'Mione, you tell us that practically everyday" Ron gave her a weak smile and continued "But we really would like to know what happened" Hermione knew they were all just as curious as they were worried.
"Yes, sorry. Well, I walked around the corner and Malfoy was rushing around the corner at the same time and well, we just bumped in to each other, nothing big"
"It doesn't seem like 'nothing big' 'Mione, you're crying again!" Hermione didn't realize she was crying until her three best friends pulled her in to a tight hug.
"Can't – breathe" Hermione struggled and her best friends let go instantly.
"Was there anything else?" Ginny asked carefully, her arm still around Hermione's shoulders.
"Well yeah, he did say something…" Hermione paused and tried to remember what he said. "He said that he would have to wash himself off after touching me, I'm assuming he meant because I'm muggle born, that's not all though, I've never seen him so angry before, and there was something else, that I can't quite grasp" She heard Ron growl.
"THAT BLOODY GIT! HOW COULD HE DO THAT TO YOU? HE'LL DESERVE WHAT'S COMING FOR HIM I'LL—" Hermione didn't need to hear it, not right now anyway.
"RONALD! No, sit down, it's okay. It's not that bad; I guess I'd just taken enough of it"
"That was a pretty good slap 'Mione!" Harry and Ginny cheered and laughed, not long after, Ron joined in, and soon they were talking about Quidditch again. Hermione was happy to see that her friends were no longer worried, and were all happy. They hadn't notice Hermione sneak off, and before she knew it, she was on her way to the Hospital Wing.
Draco woke to the sound of two female's arguing, he could work out one voice, Madam Pompfery's, but he couldn't quite figure out the other until he saw a mash of bushy brown hair walk through the doors and in to the wing.
"Malfoy" Hermione said, gritting her teeth, obviously regretting coming here.
"Granger, what a surprise to see you here, what's new?" Malfoy snickered, knowing that Hermione was already annoyed, and he would be making her, well, even more annoyed.
"I came to apologize" Hermione said it in such a tone that Malfoy might have even believed it for a second.
"For what, Granger?" Hermione glared and then laughed.
"By the looks of it, a broken nose!" Hermione laughed a bit more, and Malfoy couldn't help notice that she indeed had quite a nice smile, apart from the fact that she was a mudblood, Potter's friend and an insufferable know it all, of course, a nice smile none the less.
Hermione stopped laughing and started to exit the room.
"Wait, Granger!" Hermione turned around with a confused look on her face and replied with a mere "Yes?"
Draco couldn't work out why he had called after her, perhaps it was because he wanted to annoy here more, perhaps it was because he wanted her to stay, he didn't really know, under the circumstances with his mission that the Dark Lord had set him.
Hermione walked back over to the bed he was at, and crossed her arms. "Is there something you want, Malfoy?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to tell you that you better watch your back Granger" Malfoy had said too much, and he knew it.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione ,instantly knowing that something was wrong asked again.
"Malfoy! What are you talking about?"
"I was merely insisting that you broke my nose, and there were a lot of Slytherins around to see it" Luckily, Draco was a good liar and he had made up for what he said instantly.
"Uh-huh, there was also a lot of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, along with Harry Potter, they boy who defeated Voldemort when he was two and the most tempered 6th year in school, I think you should be the one to watch your back."
Draco didn't appreciate the way that Hermione just spat out The Dark Lords name like he was inferior to her. Although, he had to give it to her. She had a point.
"Oh, I'm scared Granger, I'm shaking see!" Draco pretended to shake and started to snicker, but stopped when he felt the most horrific pain in his left arm. "AH!" Draco shouted. Hermione looked worried and ran over to him asking what was wrong. She fussed over him and asked over and over if he was okay.
"Oh my god Granger, lay off will you? I have to go" Draco started to get up when Hermione pushed him back on to his bed.
"I can see you are still dizzy from passing out, you won't be going anywhere!"
Draco felt a sharp pain rise in his arm again and he tried to stifle a yelp of pain. His face scrunched up and just as quick as the pain had arrived, it was gone again.
"I guess I'll be off then. Goodnight Malfoy" Hermione started to walk off when he heard the boy behind her mumble something that she could only just make out.
"Goodnight Granger"
