Author's Note: Hi guys! As promised, new chapter! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know it's short, but I can't help it. I felt like I had to cut it off. But don't worry, the LAST, FINAL chapter will be posted tomorrow! Happy reading :D
The next morning, Hermione woke up feeling like she needed some Pepper-Up Potion. She walked into her office, and then promptly walked back out. She did not want to face Malfoy so early in the morning. Unfortunately, he followed her out and pulled her back.
"Granger, I came in here to... To apologize. It occurred to me late last evening that some of the comments I made may not have been entirely appropriate."
Oh. Wow. "Save it, Malfoy. Why are you apologizing?"
He sighed. This was going to be embarrassing. "Well, Blaise may have mentioned my behaviour to mother, who may have insisted I apologize immediately for treating a lady without the utmost respect."
Hermione burst out laughing – "You're apologizing to me because your mother made you? Oh, this is priceless!"
He turned flush with anger – or embarrassment, she wasn't sure; but suddenly she couldn't stop looking at him. His eyes hardened and turned slate grey, and for some inexplicable reason, she found him attractive. Something in her face must have tipped him to this, because his eyes softened and he said, "I know I shouldn't have said what I said. I should leave you alone. But seeing you yesterday with that moron... Well, I couldn't take it. I just kept thinking to myself – and to Blaise – that you could do so much better."
Hermione was almost speechless. "What... What are you saying, Malfoy?"
"I'm saying, I am better."
