Chapter 2 – I'm not the only one
The first day of lessons flew by, Hermione, of course, was still at the top of every class. Mondays were the best days for most Gryffindors. They had no classes with those nasty Slytherins, Hermione didn't feel exactly the same way. She wanted to look into those swimming blue eyes one more time to see if what she felt the night before was real or just a trick of her mind.
Her thoughts stayed with her as she crawled into the warm bed. Those poor house elves she thought. Always slaving away for her comfort normally at night she would sit up thinking of way to help the poor creatures but her thought her stolen away from that by one blond headed boy.
Draco also lay awake that night. 'Tomorrow,' he thought 'Tomorrow I will see her and realize that she is just another mud-blood. I can't like a mud-blood how disgusting.' Though he wanted to believe this he couldn't fully. His night consisted of that bushy brown hair and gorgeous piercing eyes.
The first class the two houses had together was first thing in the morning. They walked down the trail to Hagrids Hut. His bushy hair could be seen from a far distance, though it wasn't hard to notice him. He was larger than most people; big- boned was what he said. There was an obvious taste of dislike in the air. Something wasn't right though.
'Notice Draco hasn't said anything yet?' whispered Ron to Harry who had been thinking the same thing. When he told Hermione she simply replied;
'Well maybe he has had a change of heart .. People can do that you know.' Harry and Ron exchanged confused glances but didn't have any time to express their thoughts for they had reached Hagrid.
'All righ' there. I got a special lesson for yeh, yes I do.' The special lesson turned out to be unicorns. The class flew by, but not without something happening, something only Hermione and Draco knew about. Their eyes had met, about half way through the class. The jittery feelings came over both of them again. Their eyes lingered for a moment and smiled at each other. A simple gesture that changed everything.
'Why a Slytherin?' Hermione thought for the rest of the day. But she couldn't help but smile whenever she thought of Draco. One day, he would be hers. And she wasn't the only one who thought that. One day, Draco thought, Hermione would be his.
