Flashback:

"Maybe you're just afraid of commitment," Blaise offered kindly.

"Me? Afraid? I'm not afraid of anything. I'm a Malfoy!"

"Stereotypical," Blaise muttered under his breath.


As she was walking back to Hogwats, her attention was caught by the quill shop. There was a new quill, charmed to not need an inkwell to have ink, and its ink never fades.

I bet it costs a fortune, Hermione thought.

"Granger," a voice that Hermione would never forget said.

"Malfoy," she said without turning around. "What brings you here?"

"Was just going to meet my mother and get a drink with Blaise," Draco said matter-of-factly. "Which is none of your Mudblood business."

"Then go and get the bloody hell out of here. I don't see a reason for you to talk to me anyway." Draco was a bit taken aback, Hermione never sounded this harsh.

"Fine. Wait a second, though…" he said, fishing through his robes. "Is this yours, Granger?" Hermione turned around, and saw her diary in Draco's hands.

A series of bad thoughts ran through her head. What if he's already read the whole damn thing?

"Give it back, Ferret, or else I'll… I'll…" Draco smiled michievously.

"You'll what, Granger? Hex me?" Draco snapped his fingers, then suddenly Blaise Zabini was at Hermione's back. As he took Hermione's wand, he muttered, "Sorry, Granger."

She stiffened. "You lousy, sneaky little—" Her breath got caught in her throat as Draco took two strides toward her, close enough for her to feel his warmth and for him to smell her perfume. Intoxicating was the word that popped into his mind.

"I'm a Slytherin, Granger. I'm supposed to be sneaky."

And a lot attractive, a voice said in Hermione's head, as she stared at Draco Malfoy's eyes. A deer-in-the-headlights moment, she couldn't even breathe right. Their lips were inches apart.

If only I could move my head right, thought Draco. He leaned a bit closer…


Draco: *fist clenched* Don't tell me I'm kissing the Mudblood, Mudblood!

Me: *takes out wand* Levicorpus!

Draco: *dangling upside-down by his ankle* Mudblood! Put me down!

Me: *giggles* Look he's wearing Percy Jackson boxers!

Draco: Please!! Don't tell anyone!

A/N:

Bonus Chapter. Cliffys or is it spelled as cliffie? Well... Tell me if you like it. Draco obviously didn't.

Press it!
