(A/N) As I've said in the previous chapter, I'm not much of a writer. I'm new to this. The last chapter was very short so I'll try my best to make this one longer. Reviews are appreciated!
Chapter 2: Sparks
(Draco's view)
It's hard to concentrate with her next to me! I hate her so much….she's infuriating! She is just a know-it-all mudblood, nothing more, possibly less. And she has stupid bushy hair that I'd love to run my fingers through…no I wouldn't! Why the hell am I thinking like this? It's like I don't control my thoughts anymore. Snape is stupid for pairing she and I together. I don't care if my godfather knows best! That is shit! Is he testing me, to see how far I can go until I snap?
"Malfoy," She says, "We need to get this done by next week.."
"I know, mudblood, I'm not stupid." I snap back. I see a trace of hurt flicker across her face and for just a second, I regret saying that. But then again, she should be used to the name by now. I've been calling her it for years.
"You could have fooled me!" She huffed.
Well shit now I've pissed her off. Wait, why should I care if I have? Nothing new.
We're just mixing in silence now, I guess. It seems she has decided to ignore me. I wonder if our Prefect patrol duties will coincide? She can't just ignore me then. Honestly I don't know why I care whether she ignores me or not. She's nothing to me…

Why did that hurt? Him calling me that. He's called me that since I've known him. Why am I ignoring him? It does no good. We are partners and Prefects. I hope our patrol duties aren't together as well. The entire class after he called me that horrid name was silent. Between us at least.
"Granger, hand me that," he gestured to an ingredient. Of course I have to hand it to him. Our hands brush.
Whoa. Was there sparks there? It has to be static. Not sparks as in feeling. It's a science thing, not feelings. Did he feel it too? Did he feel the sparks?

The Great Hall at dinner is noisy, as usual. The Gryffindor table usually is. I'm not listening to Ron and Harry argue. I get sick of it. I learn to dwon it out. I think I'm going to leave early.
As I walk out of the Great Hall, I see a flash of platinum blonde hair. Shit, looks like someone else had the same idea. I'll just have to go a different route, avoiding him as well as anyone else who has decided to leave early.
Why does the common room seem so far away? The walk has never seemed this long-
Oh Merlin.
I've run smack into the toned chest of the very person I was avoiding. I can't look up. I can't look into his eyes.
"Granger, if you fancied me, you could have just told me, instead of running into me." He smirked as he said this.
"I most definantly do not fancy you, Malfoy!" I calmly reply. A strange look has come over him. Is his face coming closer? This is a bit strange. And suddenly he's kissing me. He's kissing me?
All I feel are his lips on mine and I seem to be kissing him back and—
"What the hell, Malfoy?" I seem to have snapped out of this trance. I run back down the hall and I can still feel the kiss. It wasn't a gentle one. It was hard and full of passion and lust and a hint of love..Wait, love? No. There were sparks though….I felt fire. Something ignited in me. I need to get away.

What the hell did I just do? Did I just kiss….Hermoine Granger? There were…sparks. I felt like there was fire. That's never happened with Pansy. I find myself disgusted with Pansy lately. But not Granger. Sometimes I ask myself whether or not I was really disgusted with her. She's better looking than Pansy. I should honestly stop thinking like this but I can't seem to stop.
I'm trying to sleep but everything keeps replaying in my mind, the fire inside me is still burning slightly. I wonder if she felt the same thing, if she's still feeling it just like I am. I have to pretend to go to sleep, at least, I don't feel like talking to anyone. What's wrong with me! Everyone is going to suspect something if I keep ignoring my friends and just going up to the dormitory and sleeping. No more after today. But right now, I really don't care what people are saying.

I forgot about Prefect patrol! Damnit. I have 5 minutes to meet whoever is my partner for tonight. I'll have to run.
It's Granger. Merlin's fucking pants, it's Granger. She's staring at me. With this dumbfounded look on her face. I can't tell whether it's in a good way or in a bad way.
"Well Malfoy, you take corridors 1,2, and 3. I'll take the rest." She said dismissively as she stalked off in the opposite direction. I need more time to think anyways. But I'll still probably find myself missing her company…

Just my luck that I get paired with the very person I've been trying to avoid. And I'd been successful up until now. But I think that deep down I was hoping he'd be my partner for patrolling. I fucked it up though. I sent him to do opposite corridors from me and now I won't be seeing him while we are patrolling. I guess it is for the better though. I should not be 'fraternizing with the enemy'. Though honestly I'm not. I should fancy Ron! It would be so much easier. But I don't and I don't know why, there are so many pros! But the one con is what's holding me back. I cannot be with someone I have no interest in.
"Well, Granger, can't seem to get enough of me, can you?" It seems I've had the misfortune to run straight into Malfoy's chest again. Joy.
"Sod off, Malfoy. I just forgot to look where I was going. Why aren't you on the floors I told you to patrol anyways?"
"Because I'm done." He said it likw I should know that already. Oh. I should. It's time to go back.
"Goodnight and goodbye Malfoy" I yell as I run back to the common room. I think I know who will be in my dreams tonight….
(A/N) Well, it's not particularly long. In fact it's not long at all but it is slightly longer than the last chapter. And by the way this is rated M for chapters to come. Not at the moment. Anyways I haven't gotten any reviews yet. Please do. I need critiquing. I'll update when I can!
