DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING

Note: I'm really glad you guys liked this thanks so much for all the reviews! You guys rock! Ok so in these chapters Ron gets a little more mean a little more selfish and that's when we start seeing him differently. I know in the books he is always nice and stuff so I thought I'd kind of flip that and see what happens. So I hope you like this chapter and please review.

Hernione was sobbing so hard into her pillow she didn't even notice Malfoy behind her. He wasn't saying anything he was just watching her. When she finally noticed him she sighed and said, "I said please Malfoy come on just let me be please." He shook his head before sitting next to her on the bed and slowly wiped her tears away. Hermione wondered if he'd gone off the deep end. He never touched her. "Are you really touching a mud blood?" Malfoy nodded before saying, "A pretty tough one at that."

She shook her head. "I'm in here sobbing like a child. Over a guy. Its just he was the only one who ever showed interest. Whoever cared you know?" Malfoy shook his head again chuckling softly. "What's so funny?" "Nothing." He opened his arms and without thinking she went into them. This is nice. He smells fantastic and feels amazing. He's so warm. And wow I'm thinking that way about Malfoy what the hell is the matter with me?

"You didn't let the whores see your tears. Your strong Hermione." She looked up at him for a moment before asking, "Why are you being so nice to me?" Smirking Draco replied, "Cuz I don't like being called a heartless bastard and an asshole in the same day Ms. Mudblood." Hermione gave a little laugh before nestling her head back in his chest. She was so comfortable she didn't notice when she fell asleep.

When she woke up she found she was still in her clothes and covered with blankets. Draco was so nice to me last night she thought to herself. She didn't see him when she was leaving the portrait or in the great hall and Harry finally asked, "Who are you looking for Hermione?" Shaking her head she told him she wasn't looking for anyone before absorbing herself in the book she'd brought down. She wanted to talk to Malfoy as soon as possible. She couldn't believe that he'd been so nice to her last night. It was almost like he was being a friend. It really confused her. She did have a crush on him before but that was a long time ago. Since then nothing had happened. She never told him and his constant cruelty had killed any feelings she'd had. But last night, last night was different. She could feel it. Ginny shook her from her thoughts by saying, "Malfoy is looking at you Hermione."

Looking over at him there eyes met. He kept her stare for a few minutes before breaking it to answer a question of Blaise's. Looking at her plate she sighed softly to herself. She was about to leave when she heard Ginny say, "You have got to be kidding me." Looking up she noticed Lavender and Ron approaching and Lavender was in the shortest skirt Hermione had ever seen and her shirt unbuttoned so her cleavage was popping out. Lavender noticed Hermione looking and smirked. "Oh look Won Won it's the prude." Hermione shook her head and grabbed her book. She was about to walk by Lavender when she heard her say, "Last night was fantastic so glad you traded up Won Won." Hermione's shoulders stiffened and she looked at Ron. He looked at the floor and didn't say anything.

Hermione shook her head before saying, "Yeah Won Won you two really deserve each other. Way to go. Though I really would watch out. You sleep with one whore and you may need Madam Pomfrey." Ginny laughed and the rest of there friends joined in but Lavender instantly turned bright red before saying, "Your just jealous because you're a boring prude who's going to die alone. Stupid know it all." Hermione didn't say anything and attempted to pass her again before she heard Lavender's laughter. "See little girl can't even fight back." Hermione walked out of the great hall and back to the common room. She was about to step out of the portrait when she smacked headfirst into Malfoy.

"Damn Granger. Get off me." She blushed when she realized she was on top of him. She was completely aware of his proximity. He was looking at her but neither moved. Finally he broke the silence by saying softly, "Granger, your still on top of me." Blushing harder she instantly got up and offered him her hand taking it he said, "Come inside with me before your class." He lead her to the couch and motioned for her to sit down before saying, "You need to stop letting them hurt you. Are you alright?" Looking at him for a long moment she shook her head.

"Why do you care Malfoy?" He stared at her for a long moment before shaking his head and getting up and crossing the room. A split second later Hermione followed him then said softly, "Please don't go. I'm sorry its just your always a jerk and now your suddenly so nice I'm just confused." He nodded.

"I would be too if I were you I suppose Mudblood." He looked at her before saying, "Let's just go to class." She frowned before asking, "What about what you were going to tell me?" He shook his head. "Forget it not important." Without waiting for her to say anything else he walked out of the portrait. Hermione stood there for a few minutes trying to process everything before she sighed and headed to class to. When she got there the professor smiled before saying, "OK. Everyone up I'm splitting you into partners. The partner you get is yours for the next two months." Hermione crossed her fingers hoping she wouldn't get Ron or Lavender. No such luck. She got Lavender. Closing her eyes in frustration she actually smiled when she heard who Malfoy got. He got Ron. Looking over at him she noticed he jaw was set tight and his eyes were shooting daggers at everyone.

Looks like luck sucks all around today. Hermione thought to herself. Looking up she noticed Lavender sneering at her holding a knife. "You cut the beetles." Not wanting a scene she complied and surprisingly they worked in silence. While they worked Hermione began to sneak peeks at Malfoy. He really was handsome the way his hair fell into his eyes or the way he looked at you and you thought he was seeing right through you. He must have sensed her staring because he looked at her and glared before looking back down. What the hell? One day he's an ass the next he's sweet then he's an ass again. It's like he has pms or mood swings. Looking at there completed potion she offered to clean the station and Lavender walked out.

Sighing again she headed to her next class wondering how much more she could take in one day.

And that's it. Hope you guys liked it and please review also there is a surprise for the next chapter so keep reading please!
