Chapter 2: No magic Allowed

As Hermione reached Filch's door, she decided to wait for Malfoy to arrive. She was a little scared of Filch, and although she didn't count on Malfoy to protect her, she didn't want to be alone with him.

After a few minutes she saw the blond boy walk towards her. He walked to the door and without even looking at her, knocked.

Filch opened the door and got out, signaling the students to follow him. As he walked, he was ranting about punishments as usual but they couldn't tell if he was talking to them or to his cat.

"How do they expect them to learn a lesson without some blood shedding. Oh, how I miss their screams... One day, I'll get to use my shackles again, you'll see!" said the old man with a glint in his eyes.

Hermione and Draco turned to see each other with frightened faces.

They finally reached the first floor and Filch guided them to a storage room filled with old brooms and boxes with old parchments.

"Today, you have to get this room cleaned up. No magic allowed!"

"What?" said Draco shocked "what do you mean, no magic allowed?"

"What do you think it means?" answered Filch " NO MAGIC. Now stop asking stupid questions and get to work!" He left the room followed closely by Mrs. Norris.

"Stupid Squid! Just because he can't use magic... How does he dare speak to me like that. Father will hear about this...No magic..." murmured the Slytherin as he grabbed one (normal) broom and started swiping the floor.

"Would you stop whining Malfoy!" said Hermione exasperated "Quit being such a drama queen..."

She couldn't help letting out a little smile and turned around so he wouldn't see her.

"What did you say, Granger?" asked Draco with a menacing look on his face.

"Nothing"

"I do not whine!" said the boy with the usual smirk "And I'm not a drama queen!!"

They spent the next half hour in complete silence. Draco sweeping on one end of the room and Hermione in the other, organizing the parchments in the boxes. She wondered why Malfoy hadn't picked on her all night. I mean, she didn't have complaints, it was just weird.

As if he had read her mind, the blond decided to have some fun with the Gryffindor.

"So how are Weaselbee and Potty? Busy learning how to tie their shoes?"

"Don't start, Malfoy" said the brunette rolling her eyes.

"I heard Weasel eats like a pig. Well, he probably doesn't have any food at home, so he might as well eat while he can"

"Why don't you just leave the Weasleys alone!" answered Hermione angrily now.

"Wow, you should really learn to control your temper, Granger."

"No!" the girl approached the boy pointing him with her finger "I am sick of you and your comments. Is your life really that boring that you don't have anything else to do than get into people's lives and criticize and ridicule them?!"

Draco opened his mouth to say something but Hermione cut him off.

"Well, you know what? I think you're pathetic. You mock Harry because you're jealous at him for being famous. You steal everyone else's stuff because you are so self-centered, you want everything for yourself. You go around acting like you're all brave, but in the moment of true, you run away calling for your mommy. You can't even stand up to your own father. You just let him control your life. You are a spoiled little mamma's boy who can't make his own decisions. So why don't you stop getting into other people's lives and start dealing wit your on issues!"

Hermione's face was flushed. She had finally told him everything she had always wanted to.

Draco, on the other hand, was just there standing, speechless. No one had ever talked to him like that. He didn't know what to do or what to say.

In that moment, Filch entered the room and told the detention was over for the day. They had to come back the next day, same hour, and finish cleaning up.

Hermione got out of the room as fast as she could and ran to the Gryffindor tower. I took Draco a couple of minutes to slowly start walking to the Slytherin Common Room.


Hermione tiptoed her way into her room and changed into her pajamas. She tried to get into bed without making too much noise because her roommates were already asleep.

She started thinking about what she had said to Malfoy. Even though she felt relieved to finally tell him what she really thought about him after all this years, she felt a little guilty. Was she too hard on him? Yes, he always tortured her with his comments but she said awful things to him. Yelled awful things to him. The look on his face as she yelled at him...

She finally decided to talk the next day to Ginny about it and ask her what she should do. After all, she was going to spend the next moth in detention with him.


As Draco laid on his bed, he couldn't fall asleep.

He kept thinking about what happened in the storage room with Granger. Even though he wanted to be angry at her, he couldn't because deep down, he knew she was right. It was just that no one had ever had the guts to confront him the way she had. And as stupid as it sounds, he liked it. Not that she called him a "spoiled mamma's boy" but that she actually stood up to him. The truth is, that he was tired of all the Slytherins that kissed his ass and agreed with him all the time.

Maybe the Mudblood had something in her after all.
