Chapter 6

"Hermione?" I questioned as I looked over at him lounging on the lounge.

"That's your name isn't it?" Draco replied smugly as he smiled at me, I love that smile… Stop it!

"It's not what you call me." I rolled my eyes as I turned to walk away.

I felt a tug on my hand as I spun around to see Draco standing right in front of me; he was looking at me with his stormy grey eyes, I felt my heart beat race as he smirked at me again.

"What do you want Draco?" I managed to squish the words out into an actual sentence.

"Are you serious Granger?" Draco replied as he put his arms around my waist and pulled me in close to him.

I felt my body press up against his as he brought his face closer to mine, so close I could feel his warm breath against my neck sending shivers down my spine.

"You hate me." I said quietly as I looked up at him, man he was handsome.

"Guess I fooled you." He smirked as I felt his soft lips touch mine gently.

My heart raced one hundred miles an hour as he held me tightly against his body, next thing I knew he was kissing me passionately. I couldn't really think, he smelt so luring next thing I knew I was pinned against the wall making out with him, I could feel him holding me tightly and I felt safe, but I had to stop this.

"Draco what are you doing?" I asked just after pulling away from him.

"What does it look like?" He replied as he gave me that smirk he always gives.

"I have no idea what your doing!" I replied almost defensively.

"Oh come on Granger." He growled back at me angrily.

"Is this some kind of test to see if you can score with me so you can brag to Crabbe and Goyel?" I asked folding my arms.

"Yeah 'cause it's defiantly something to brag about scoring with a mud blood!"

I grabbed my black shoulder bag that hung up just next to the door as I turned around and made the portrait fly open, I stomped out as I used my wand to slam the portrait shut, how dare he call me that, I thought I liked this jerk!

"Hermione!" I didn't care who was calling my name I was too angry.

"Granger, stop!" I then realised it was Draco who was calling after me.

I ignored him as I continued to stomp down the large stone hallway, he can go to hell. I was on a mission to get away from him that is until I felt a huge pull on my arm causing me to spin around to him.

"Careful Malfoy, you're touching a mud blood." I spat at him as I tried to pull my arm away from him.

"I didn't mean it!" He yelled as quietly as he could.

"Oh whatever Malfoy!" I growled as I turned around to keep walking.

I walked down the hallway as other Hogwarts students passed me heading off to their first classes of the day, I tried as hard as I could to flash the younger ones a smile as I passed but that was hard considering how angry I was, next minute I knew I was being pulled down a small empty corridor by none other then Draco Malfoy.

"Honestly?" I asked angrily as he looked at me.

"At least let me explain some things to you before you take what I said seriously." He looked deep into my eyes as I looked back into his.

He moved closer to me as I backed away he kept coming closer as I moved back, I didn't want to move back but I had too; I felt the cold stone wall hit my back as I jolted forward into his chest. He put his arms around me once again as I looked up at him, he lent down and gave me a small kiss before letting go of me.

"Later, Granger." He said over his shoulder as he walked off.

I felt dizzy and light headed as I slowly sat down onto the floor, what was I doing? Why could he draw me in so easily with his smile and good looks?

"Miss Granger?" I heard Professor McGonagall interrupt my thoughts as I looked over at her.

"Yes Professor?" I said as politely as I could.

"Shouldn't you be getting off to class dear?" She asked peering over at me sitting on the ground like an idiot.

"Yes Professor I'm on my way." I said as I clumsily got to my feet, still slightly dazed.

"Take caution Miss Granger." Professor McGonagall spoke kindly as she walked away from me.

I leaned against the wall as I took a deep breath and cleared my mind; I looked down at my watch as the clock read 9:54am, crap classes started twenty four minutes ago! I began to run down the hallway realising it was Wednesday and I had defence against the dark arts with Professor Snape… and Draco. I took a sharp turn left as I continued to run down the large hallways towards my room, once getting there I slowed down and slowly walked into the classroom, please don't notice, please don't..

"Ah, Miss Granger." Snape called out from the front of the class room. Dam.

"I'm sorry Sir." I replied slightly breathless as I looked over at Harry and Ron.

"You can sit next to Mr Malfoy who too seems to be… Tardy." Snape put his hand out showing were Draco sat.

I rolled my eyes as I slowly sat down next to Draco who was at the back of the room, Snape let out a grunt of disapproval before he continued on about Dementors and how to protect ourselves from them. I tried hard to avoid any contact or communication with Draco as I wrote down what I needed too and answered all the questions, whether he picked me or not was another story.

I looked around the room and saw Pansy Parkinson glaring at me from across the room, I could see how angry she was as I let out a small sigh and turned away from her.

"What you sighing about?" Draco whispered to me as he pretended to read the book.

"You're lovely girlfriend is glaring at me." I replied quietly as I too pretended to read over the book.

I saw Draco glance over at Pansy as her glare turned into a mushy smile and googly eyes, yuck.

"Jealous?" Draco teased as he went back to 'reading'

"Of her?" I almost laughed too loudly as I cleared my throat to cover it.

"Don't worry Granger; you're much better looking then her, even before you're little 'make over'." Draco whispered as a blush ran across my cheeks.

The class was over and I was up and out of there before Draco had even realised, I growled to myself as I held onto my books and walked towards the next class, I felt someone push passed me quite hard causing me to drop my books all over the ground and of course myself falling slightly onto the ground as well, I looked up as I saw Pansy and her two goons laughing as they walked away.

"You right?" I heard Harry's voice come from behind me as I sighed with relief.

"Yeah." I replied as I picked up my books.
"What was that all bout anyway?" Ron asked as he bent down and picked up my last book, handing it to me.

"I don't know." I lied as I took the book of Ron, thanking him as I did.

"Girls, hey?" Ron said as he laughed to himself.

Harry and I looked at each other as we shook our heads simultaneously and continued walking. I had History of magic as Harry and Ron had quidditch training, I gave them both a brief hug before trotting off to my next class.

The rest of the day was quite boring, all I really wanted to do was get back to my dorm and see what Draco had to say to me, I felt like I knew everything they were trying to teach me as I answered every question they would let me. Soon it was dinner time in the great hall and I made my way slowly towards it, I heard the loud chatter of many people talking at once and the smell of delicious food coming as I got closer.

"Hey Hermione I was waiting for you!" Ginny squealed from the doors as I walked over to her.

"Hey Ginny, sorry I'm a bit late I was doing late classes." I spoke rather slowly and it annoyed me, I guess I was tired.

"Man you work too hard." Ginny smiled as she linked arms with me and pulled me onto the Great hall.

The Great Hall was filled with the sound of people chatting and laughing with each other, the enchanted sky was clear as the stars shone brightly. I yawned as Ginny dragged me over to a seat and sat me down.

"So?" Ginny whispered to me as she grinned at me like an idiot.

"So what?" I asked as I yawned again.

"Anything going on between you and him?" Ginny asked in a very low voice.

"I don't know." I replied honestly as I looked over at the Slytherin table for him.

"He's down the end and he's looking at you." Ginny nudged me in the ribs as I looked over at Draco.

As soon as I laid my eyes on him he let a smirk cross his lips, I loved that smirk so I couldn't help but smile back at him as I heard Ginny laugh quietly to herself which caused me to look at her.

"We kissed." I said so quietly I'm not even sure if she heard.

"Oh My God, Really?" Ginny squealed so loudly that people actually stopped talking and looked over at her, guess she did hear.

It seemed like everyone stopped talking and was now staring at Ginny and myself, Ginny laughed uncomfortably as I smiled at them charmingly hoping they'd stop looking at me.

"Nothing to hear really; go back to your conversations!" Ginny said sternly as people just shrugged and went back to what they were doing.

"Idiot." I mumbled as I looked over at Draco who was laughing and shaking his head.

"I'm sorry! Was it like a small kiss or the whole make out?" Ginny couldn't take the grin off her face as she spoke to me.

"Well the first one was a small kiss… the second was a make out… and the third was a small kiss." I said slowly as I avoided eye contact with her.

"OH MY GOD!" Ginny yelled as she got to her feet, I'm guessing in shock.

Everyone turned to look at us again as I rolled my eyes and stood up, I took a hold of Ginny's arm as I began to drag her out of the Great hall. Once in the Hallways I let go of her arm and rolled my eyes again.

"Three times?" Ginny squealed excitedly as she clapped her hands.

"Argh I don't even know what I'm doing Ginny." I sighed as I lent up against the big wooden door frame that led into the Great Hall.

"Do you like him?" Ginny asked directly as I just looked up at her.

"…Yes… I do." I replied in almost a defeated way.

"Then what's to think about?" Ginny asked.

"Well the fact that us, well me and him; it would never work." I said slowly as I thought about what I was saying as I said it.

"What makes you say that?" Ginny asked yet another question.

"I'm not a pureblood." I answered as I growled at the thought of being classed just because my parents were muggles.

"So what if your not pure blood? You're the smartest student in Hogwarts!" Ginny grinned, that doesn't mean anything though.

"Harry and Ron hate him as well." I sighed as I rubbed my head in my hands.

"Hate who?" I almost jumped out of my skin as I clutched my chest dramatically as Ginny seemed to get just as scared.

"Harry, don't do that!" Ginny yelled as she let out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry girls didn't mean to scare you." Harry smiled as I gave a small smile back.

"Hate who?" Ron repeated as Ginny and I looked at each other.

"Umm." Ginny looked at me to come up with something.

"…Professor Snape…" I replied slowly as I saw Ginny nod her head just as slowly, man we must have looked like idiots.

"Right, that's exactly who." Ginny smiled as she looked at her brother.

"Right." Ron had that confused look on his face.

"Oh it was nothing, just girl talk." I said quickly trying to move on from it.

"How are you feeling anyway Mione?" Harry asked as he turned to face me.

"Just a little tired, but other then that never better." I replied giving him a smile.

"You'll tell me otherwise though wont you?" Harry asked sweetly as I let out a small laugh.

"Of course Harry." I replied with a smile.

"Well we need to go have a quick quidditch meeting, come on Ginny." Ron said as he nudged his sister.

"Ah, feeling well enough to play again now are you?" I asked as I turned to face Ginny.

"Yeah I'm ready to beat some teams!" Ginny grinned as she nudged Ron back.

"Okay guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." I must of sounded a little sad because they pulled me into a group hug.

"See you Hermione." Ginny smiled as Harry and Ron waved before they all walked off together.

"I thought they'd never leave." I jumped as I turned around to see Draco standing next to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked looking at him with a slight frown.

"Well I –"
"Where you listening to my conversation?!" I interrupted him as I put my hands on my hips.

"Not all of it." He replied with a slight chuckle, his real laugh was… nice.

"Oh how nice." I said with sarcasm dripping from every word.

"Come on Granger you're cute when thinking on your toes." Cute? Thinking on my toes?

"You heard me talk about you!" I said slightly annoyed but also trying to hide the blush.

He simply smirked at me as I rolled my eyes and sighed, why did I keep playing this game with him I mean he'd never fall in love with me I wasn't 'pureblood'. I lent up against the cold stone wall as I slowly slid down it until I was sitting on my butt on the floor.

"You right Granger?" He seemed so sincere as he looked down at me.

"Yeah." I grunted back before putting my head back against the wall.

"You sure?" He asked again as I looked up at him.

"Draco?" A voice from the doorway called out as he turned to see who called him.

"Pansy." He seemed to sigh out as did I.
"What are you doing sweetie?" She asked sweetly as she walked towards him.

"Nothing." Draco replied as he seemed to try and stand in front of me so she couldn't see me.

"Well why don't you come back in and finish eating with me?" She almost seemed to purr when she spoke to him, gross.

"Not now." He answered with almost no emotion in his voice.

"Why not?" She looked at him seemingly hurt.

"Doesn't really concern you now does it." Draco's butt looks great… Stop it!

"But Draco, I love you." She said quietly as I couldn't hold back the laugh.

I covered my mouth quickly as I looked straight ahead of myself, I didn't mean to laugh at what she had said but on some level I think it was a jealous laugh. I looked to my left slowly as I saw Pansy standing over me with her hands on her hips; I looked at Draco as he shook his head at me.

"Hello Pansy." I bit my lip as I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing here mud blood?" She hissed as she seemed to tower over me.

"I'm… sitting." I said slowly as if it was obvious.

"You know what I mean." Her words were laced in poison.

"I was just sitting here." I rolled my eyes as I turned away from her.

I was hoping she would just leave but two seconds later I felt a sharp pain in my left leg as it was forcefully moved slightly, it took me a minute or two and after saying ouch to realise she had kicked me, hard at that.

"What the hell is your problem?!" I yelled as I grabbed a hold of my left ankle.

"I meant what I said when I told you to stay away from him!" Pansy yelled back as she went to kick me again.

In a flash I saw Draco pull her back as she lost her footing and fell to the floor, he does care about me…

"What… what was that for?" Pansy asked as she looked up at Draco from the floor.

"Don't be an idiot Pansy, I walked passed her that was it." Draco replied as he looked down at her.

"But she's still a filthy mud blood and deserves it!" Pansy growled back as she got back up onto her feet.

"Just go." Draco sighed as he walked over to me, was he really doing this in front of her?

"Excuse me?" She asked in disbelief.

He bent down and picked me up carefully as I felt myself blush; I looked over at Pansy as she sent me a death glare. Draco began to walk off as I saw Pansy drag her index finger across her throat then point at me just before he turned a corner.

"Are you crazy?" I asked still in a state of shock.

"Maybe." He replied as he didn't look down at me.

"I can walk!" I said stubbornly as my mind tried to get around what happened.

Draco shrugged as he put me down, I went to walk off in a proud kind of stance but put too much pressure on my left leg causing me to yelp slightly in surprise and trip myself over, genius.

"You can walk right?" Draco mocked from behind me as I sighed.

"Oh shut up." I growled as I pushed myself into a sitting position.

"Are you really going to act like you don't have feelings for me?" Draco asked as I turned around to face him.

"Draco this is stupid, you don't really like me, you can't like me…" I felt stupid for saying any of this.

"Well guess what Granger, I do." Draco replied as he walked over to me.

I was still sitting on the ground as I looked up at him as he walked over; he put his hands out to me as I felt my stomach twist, I slowly took a hold of them as he gently pulled me up onto my feet, I let out a small hiss of pain as I immediately put all my weight on my right leg.

"God is she some kind of man in disguise?" I growled as I looked down at my ankle to see it bruising already.

Draco pulled out his black wooden wand as he pointed it down at my ankle; I looked at him as he said 'Episkey' clearly as I felt my ankle become very hot, two seconds later it felt freezing, then nothing. It was back to normal as I looked back up at Draco as he was smiling sweetly at me.

"I could have done that." I simply stated as I turned around and walked off.

"Argh come on Granger!" I heard Draco growl from behind me as I let out a small laugh.

"You know how I feel about you Draco." I said quietly as I continued to walk towards our room.

"Well I don't know I'm sort of stuck between you really hate me and you can tolerate me." Draco said sarcastically as he followed closely behind me.

"Really 'cause I think the same about you, One minute I'm Hermione then the next I'm mud blood." I stopped walking as I turned around to face him.

"So you're not going to tell me?" He question as I rolled my eyes sighing.

"I like you!" I growled as I turned around and walked off.

"Stop walking off!" Draco hissed as he ran after me.

"I'd really rather talk in our room if you don't mind." I hissed back as I walked faster.

"Fine but I need to go to my Quidditch meeting." I could almost feel him smirk as I stopped walking and turned to look at him.

"Then go." I growled as I folded my arms, I felt like a child.

"Just so you know Granger, I've liked you for some time now." And with that he walked off towards the Slytherin common rooms, leaving me to take in everything that happened.

I made my way into our dorm trying not to think at all, I just wanted to switch off my brain and go to sleep, I didn't want to think anymore about my feelings. I strolled into my room as I turned on the lights and I took of my robe and threw it onto the chair that sat neatly under my desk. I began to undress as I sloppily let my dress fall to the floor as I stepped out of it and made my way to my cupboard.

"Man you've gotten sexy." I heard a voice call out as I let out a scream before turning around and seeing Goyle staring at me.
"What the hell are you doing in here!?" I yelled as I pulled anything I could out of my cupboard to cover myself with.

"Draco gave me the password and I was coming to see him, but this was a bonus." He smirked as he raised his eyebrows at me.

"Argh you're such a sleaze! He's not here!" I yelled as I held a shirt in front of myself, which hardly did anything anyway.

"Ah shame." He didn't get that smirk off his face as he stared at me.

"Get out!" I yelled as I picked up a small red pillow that sat on my bed as I threw it at him.

He got startled as the pillow hit him in the face, I ran up to the door and slammed it yelling at him as I did; I heard him laughing from the other side which made me even angrier.

"I swear to god I'm going to kill you Goyle!" I yelled threw the door as I walked back over to the cupboard.

I pulled out my pink pyjamas which had small, red love hearts all over them as I slipped on the shorts and pulled the tank top type top over my head, I pulled out my hair as it slowly fell out of place. I plonked down onto my bed as I felt the comfort call me into sleep and I didn't fight it.

I stood in a dark room alone as I tried to look around, I couldn't see anything no matter how hard I tried. I tried to look for my wand but it wasn't any where either, it was cold and dark and I was all alone. All of a sudden I felt the ground shake as I saw a giant crack form from the darkness, my heart stopped as it began to immerge from the ground; its ugly black eyes focused on me as its mouth dripped with drool.

"HERMIONE!"

I jerked awake as I looked around the room in a panicked state, sweat beads fell from my forehead as I was breathing rigidly, and I looked at the clock as it read 3:30am in bright red.

"It was just a dream." I breathed as I closed my eyes to calm myself down.

I pulled the warm blankets off my body as I slowly put my feet onto the soft white carpet; I stood up as I made my way towards the door. I slowly pulled it open as I walked out of my room and towards the small little kitchen that sat in the main room, too my surprise the light was on, I walked out and saw Draco sitting on the lounge with a glass of water.

"Granger?" He asked as he looked over at me.
"Bad dream." I mumbled as I walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a small glass.

"What about?" He asked as I turned the cold water tap on to fill my glass.

"Mmm… Grim seeker." I replied quietly just before taking a sip of water.

"You okay now?" He looked back at me with quite a lot of concern in his voice.

"Yeah… Why are you up?" I asked as I slowly moved over to him and sat down next to him.

"Couldn't sleep." He replied sharply as he looked away from me.

"Okay…" I didn't know what to say, it seemed like he wanted to keep whatever his problem was a secret from me.

"You were asleep when I got back." He said after a moment of silence causing me to look at him.

"Yeah I passed out not long after I got the fright of my life." I hissed the last part as I took another sip of water.

"What happened?" Draco asked as he looked at me.

"Eh, so I get here right? And I walk into my room and take off my robe and then my dress, as I walk over to my cupboard I heard someone talk to me and it scared the hell out of me!" I growled as I placed the small glass onto the table.

"Who spoke to you?" Draco asked as he continued to just look at me.

"Goyle, he said 'man you've gotten sexy' then wouldn't leave until I threw something at him." I growled as I lounged back onto the lounge and looked over at Draco.

"So he stared at you for a while?" Draco growled as he looked to be getting angry.

"Umm yeah…" I replied slowly.

"Idiot." He hissed as I felt myself smile a little.

"Are you jealous?" I asked in a teasing tone as he looked back at me.

"Of course I am." He growled back as he sat back on the lounge close to me.

"How sweet." I teased as I let out a small girlish giggle, mentally slapping my self as soon as I did.

"It's ridiculous how you make me feel Granger." He said quietly as I felt my heart beat faster once again.

I didn't say anything as I felt myself blush, he turned to me as he slowly pulled me towards him, I must have been holding my breath because I felt the sudden need to breathe. He moved his face closer to mine as he gently kissed me, my head went all fuzzy once again and I felt so pathetically girl, but I kissed him back. It began to become a passionate kiss as he held me tightly, next minute he broke the kiss and smirk at me.

"Night Granger." He whispered as he got up and walked towards his room.

Bastard.
