Chapter 6

Hermione had been shocked by Malfoy, no Draco's attitude towards her. She expected his old Pureblood prat self. He had definitely shocked her.

Hermione was currently walking back to the compartment with Ron, Harry, Ginny, Neville, and Luna. She didn't know how they would react to the news that Draco Malfoy was head boy, but she was sure they wouldn't like it.

The moment she slid open the compartment door all eyes were on her instantly.

"So…. Who is head boy?" Ginny asked immediately.

"Um.. W.. well.. It's.. Um.." Hermione stuttered.

"Come on Mione just spit it out," Ginny said impatiently.

Taking a deep breath Hermione looked at everyone in the compartment and said "It's Draco Malfoy."

"What?!" Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Neville shouted all at once.

"Are you okay? He didn't hurt you or anything, did he?" Ron asked concerned.

Aww sweet caring Ron.

"No Ron I'm fine. He was actually…… civil towards me. He saidthat he wants us to act civil to each other.

"Ha ha… nice one 'Mione Draco Malfoy being civil to anyone" Ginny laughed.

"I'm being serious Gin."

"What did you tell him," Harry asked in a dark voice.

Everyone turned to look at him, even Luna who moments ago seemed to be in her dream land. Harry looked angry with a dark and dangerous look in his eyes.

"What?" Hermione asked softly.

"What did you tell him? Yes that you would be civil, or No, that you would not ever be civil with a pureblood prat like him."

Hermione knew that he wanted to hear the second thing but she had to tell him the truth.

"Well I told him that we could at least try"

"You're being stupid. Why would you do that? We can't trust him."

"Oh come on Harry. Everyone deserves a second chance don't they?"

Up until now the conversation was calm but angry but something in Harry seemed to snap.

"NO EVRYONE DOES NOT DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE" Harry Screamed.

"WHY NOT?" Hermione screamed back.

"Because he was one of Voldermort's followers."

"Harry, Voldermort is dead! It doesn't matter anymore." She said looking down.

"Yes it does Hermione. Voldermort and his Death Eaters never gave second chances. Sirius didn't get a second chance. Either did Dumbledore, Tonks, Lupin, Fred, your parents."

At this she snapped her head up and let the tears she was trying to hold back pour down her face.

Ron finally got over his shock, of seeing his two best friends fight, and stood up to get between Harry and Hermione.

"Harry, calm down'" Ron spoke soft yet at the same time firm.

"How can I be calm Ron when Hermione is making friends with Malfoy. And why aren't you doing or saying anything you hate him as much, if not more, than I do."

"Harry Just Shut It," Ron said as he walked Hermione out of the compartment.

Once out in the hall Hermione's sobs came. She just couldn't belive that Harry was acting this way. She had expected him to be understanding and give Draco a second chance. After all Dumbledore was always about seeing the good in people and giving them a second chance. Ron put his arms around Hermione to comfort her. She buried her face in his chest and tried to stop the sobbing.

"It's alright 'Mione," Ron said as her stroked her hair in a comforting way.

"No Ron its not, and I don't know when its going to be ok. I just don't understand way hes acting like this. And he brought up my parents, that's just not like him Ron. I just have to be alone right now. I'm sorry Ron, but I'll see you when we get to school.

Ron nodded and with one last hug Hermione left down the hall and Ron went back to the compartment.

*Back in the Heads Compartment*

Draco had a feeling that something was wrong but he wasn't sure what it Hermione walked in and sat across from him without looking up.

"Hermione?" Draco spoke softly.

She looked up only for a second then cast her view back to the floor. But it was enough for Draco to see he bloodshot eyes and her tear stained cheeks. He felt blind hatred for the person who made his mate cry. He moved from his spot across her to the beside her. He put his hand on her knee and she looked up at him. He looked into her dark brown eyes.

"Are you alright?" he asked her gently.

She looked away from him. He gently cupped her chin and made her look at him. When she looked at him he had the most concerened face on and his eyes penatraded hers. She could of sworn she saw them flash again.

"Hermione, are you alright?" he asked her again.

She shook her head no.

"What happened?"

She didn't say anything just looked at him.

"Hermione?"

She still just looked at him.

"Hermione, why wont you talk to me?" he asked her. She thought he sounded as though he was about to cry.

She ignored that and glared at him "Because I don't want to Malfoy."

His hand dropped from her face almost instantly.

Hermione regretted saying his surname as soon as it left her mouth, because it went back to before they were acing civil.

Mabey I shouldn't have said that. He looks like he just lost his best friend. Hemione thought.

"Fine" was all Draco said as he got up and left the compartment.

Once he was gone Hermione started crying again. But this time she wasn't sure why.

Its just Malfoy. But why do I feel like I just lost the single most important person in my whole life?
