Chapter 3

Everything has become weirder around her. But then again she lives is a magical world so everything has to be weirder. But lately everything seems… unusual. First weird thing that happened to Hermione is that her classmate Neville finished his potion assignment before she did. Yes the very same Neville Longbottom who is always scared of their potion master Severus Snape. He also received some house points for Gryffindor from the Snape himself.

Second weird thing was when she saw everybody's favorite headmistress McGonagall dancing when she was dropping off her weekly Head duty. Yes dancing and not just dancing alone she was dancing with Filch. Yes Filch the caretaker of Hogwarts. And they were laughing, she was giggling and he was blushing. Before she could puke and get scarred for life Hermione ran from the headmistress' office.

As she was running she tripped and was about to fall the third weird thing happened to her. She was caught safe into Malfoy's arm. It was not that he saving her was weirder but what happened after was weirder. Malfoy asked her if she was ok. He looked genuinely looked concerned about her. Before she thought she could get caught staring into his beautiful greyish eyes, she brought herself back and ran away from him. Those other weirder thing cannot be compared to the third weird thing in her life.

She was thinking about Malfoy and his reaction the whole day. It was not just today that he had acted unusual towards. This thing was going on for almost a week now.

Flash back a week ago

"Oh shit, why it always happens to me?" frustrated Hermione bend down to pick up her books and her pencil case.

"Well if you hadn't borrowed the whole library, then you would be able to hold your bags and your books wouldn't drop." Chuckling Draco bend down to help her.

"UUmmm… what are you doing?" asked Hermione slightly puzzled.

"Uuummm…. I am helping you, what does it look like I am doing?" he asked

She was a lot confused by now and was trying to understand what he was saying but more confused than before she asked "whhhyyy?"

He looked up into her brown eyes and smiled "why Granger, your two dunderheads never helped you with anything like this? Then again the Pothead and the Weasel wouldn't know the act of chivalry."

She couldn't help it and started mockingly laugh at Malfoy "chivalry and you? Since when do you show any chivalry to anyone let alone to me? I am a mud blood remember? Or did you lose your head during the war? Whatever Malfoy, I don't need you help or chivalry. I can help myself, thank you very much," she gathered all her stuff with the swish of her wand and walked pass him.

She could still hear him mutter "I could be a better person if you give me a chance, Hermione".

By then she had turned the corner and left him behind more confused and amazed than before.

End of Flashback

Hermione couldn't pinpoint the feeling whenever he is around her. She gets all carried away in his thoughts and the emotions that she is feeling towards him. But she also has a gut feeling that tells her there is more to the situation and it seems. Does he like me? No, no, no, that can't be. He doesn't like me, no he won't like, and no he can't like me at all. I m a muggle-born. Having an inner battle with herself, she was walking pass an empty classroom. All of a sudden she hears some boys talking. She was about to leave when she hears her name being mentioned.

"..i told you, you have to act fast with the mud blood Granger, Draco" one of the boys said.

"Don't say that word," said Malfoy

"Why, because you have a soft spot for the girl" other boy asked

"Look all I am saying is seducing Granger takes time. She is not like any other girls. She is the smartest witch, if you forgot about that. "

"We haven't forgotten anything, but it is you who have forgotten, Draco. Look whatever you do with Granger it's your problem. All we are saying is if you want to win this bet, you might wanna step it up and seduce Granger to you bet and take her picture."

Everything makes sense to her now. The saving, the smile, the stare. He bet on me. How dare him. He and his minions want to mess with me? She chuckle. Bring it on Malfoy. After this you will never be able to forget who I really am. Making note to herself, Hermione left to plan the most deathliest revenge against Malfoy (well not literally deathliest but you know what I mean).
