(AN: finally an update:). This chapter is dedicated to deranged fruit who made me write this:)

(Hermione's POV)

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP……….. I blearily opened my eyes not wanting to get up, but since my alarm was still beeping rather annoyingly I decided I should probably just get. I gathered my clothes and reluctantly headed out to the bathroom.

As the hot water cascaded over my body it relieved all the troubles of the past week. A lot had happened. A lot of weird things, things that ordinarily don't happen in a normal week.

As I was washing my hair I thought about the one person I was least likely to ever think about, Draco Malfoy.

For some reason he had been starring at me practically the whole entire week. " Now why would he ever do such a thing. From his daily reactions towards me it's seems highly unlikely he would ever look at me voluntarily, much less stare" hermione thought as she dried herself off with the towel.

As I walked downstairs I noticed Harry and Ron sitting on one of the couches by the fire playing chess. I knew they were going to ask me to go with them to hogsmead today, so I silently creep past them ever so slowly inching my way towards the portrait. As if they knew of my presence they both turned around and said "morning mione" in unison. "Crap, caught and I was almost out to" I thought bitterly as I made my way over to them.

"So are you going to hogsmead today?" harry asked as he watched one of his pawns get crushed. " No, I think I'm going to go to the library today to do some research" I said hoping they wouldn't make a big deal out of it. As harry told me that they'd miss me and would bring me back lots of candy I distinctly heard ron mutter 'figures.' While glaring darkly at ron I thanked harry and told him I'd see them at dinner.

I exited the portrait hole thinking about ron's weird behavior lately. 'It had started when I he told me about how malfoy had been watching me the whole entire period. Like I hadn't known that already' I laughed as the conversation we had replayed in my head. 'At the time I had told ron that I hadn't noticed him at all to calm him down and mainly just to shut him up.' 'He was making such a big deal out of it, while harry on the other hand was just standing there with a smirk on his face.'

I put ron out of my mind and again thought of my worst enemy, the evil ferret. Why had he been watching me?' That was the question I had kept asking myself over and over again this week. 'Why had he been he been starring at me?' Even though I had been pretending not to notice him, I had felt him every glance, even though they weren't really glances at all, they were piercing stares like he was trying to drill a hole in the back of my head with his eyes. Especially at mealtime was when I could feel his ever-present gaze the most.

Towards the end of the week I could feel his gaze lessening in almost all my classes with him with the exception of history of magic. In that class it was worse than ever and to add to my luck it was a double period so I had to endure over two hours of pretending not to know his penetrating stare. How I longed to turn around and ask him what the hell he was staring at. I didn't only because I knew he'd answer with something like " nothin mudblood" or something to that effect. SMACK! I stumbled backwards and looked up to see the object of my thoughts " the amazing bouncing ferret." Weird I thought he would be in hogsmead with everyone else. By the shocked looked on his face he probably thought I would be there too. Now he was just staring at me, 'that isn't anything new' I thought sarcastically as I waved my hand in front of his face. After doing this he sort of snapped out of whatever he was in and once he saw it was me in front of him he immediately put a scowl on his face. With a rather half hearted sneer he drawled 'watch where your going mudblood' and with that he stalked around the next corner.
I shrugged, in all the years here with him you would have thought he could have came up with a something a bit more creative than that I mused as I rounded the corner and into the library intent on doing some quiet research.
