Chapter 3

(recap) He looked over at Hermione who was still asleep. 'She's…cute when she's sleeping…oh crap," Draco thought.

"Oi, wake up!" Draco called. Hermione started to stir, but she rolled over and fell back asleep. "Alright, fine," Draco said with a glare. He yanked off the sheets. Nothing. Draco got the best idea. He smirked and climbed onto the bed. He rolled her over onto her back and straddled her. "Wake up, love," Draco whispered. Hermione's eyes slowly opened and looked into Draco's eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize what was happening. Her face turned bright red and Draco grinned.

"FIREBALL!" Hermione yelled and hit him with the strongest fireball she could. Draco was badly burned and his room was on fire. Draco screamed in pain and rolled to her side while shaking. Hermione acted quickly. She put out the fire with a simple water spell and cleaned it with a cleaning spell. While the room was being cleaned, she turned her attention to Draco. She stood beside the bed and examined Draco. He was hurt, but he would live. She cast a healing spell her brother taught her a few years ago. The spell worked fairly quickly, and Draco was soon completely healed. He sat up and placed his hands over his face. "Draco…I…"

"Let's just go," Draco said coldly as he stood up.

"Wait! Draco, I'm sorry! I overdid it! You scared me and I reacted! You shouldn't have done that, and I had full rights to do something, but I shouldn't have been that harsh," Hermione explained with tears in her eyes.

"It's alright," Draco said. He unhooked the leash, but left her collar on.

"But I-"

"It's time to go."

"Draco, please-"

"I said, let's go!" Draco said loudly as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him. Draco was squeezing her wrist tightly, but Hermione just bit her lip. She was determined not to complain when she had hurt him and set his room on fire. She wanted to go home more than ever.

'I hate this! I'm being treated like a freakin pet! And Draco's a jerk! I didn't mean to hurt him, and I said sorry, but he's still being so cold! I need to get out of here now," Hermione thought.

Draco dragged her to the Great Hall and sat her down beside him. He started eating his breakfast and Hermione sat silently beside him. Neither of them said anything.

"Hey," Blaise said as he sat down across from them. Hermione looked up and glared at Blaise. She remembered it was Blaise who levitated her. She would definitely get him back for that. Pansy sat down beside Blaise and kissed him.

'Wasn't he with...who was it…Daphne? Yeah, he was with Daphne last night! How interesting…' Hermione thought with a smirk.

"Why is your familiar in here? Shouldn't it be outside with the others?" Pansy asked Draco.

"It? I'm NOT an IT!" Hermione said with a glare.

"I can't trust her," Draco said plainly. Hermione glared at him, but Draco didn't look at her.

"Well maybe you can train her today," Blaise said.

"What's today?" Hermione asked.

"Sixth years are bonding with their familiars so no classes today," Blaise said.

Draco finished his food and dragged Hermione outside. Blaise and Pansy followed them. Hermione saw Daphne and she seemed to be looking for something…or someone…perfect. As soon as Draco let go of her, Hermione walked over to Daphne and pointed out Draco to her. Daphne called to Blaise and when he saw her, he tried to leave quickly. Hermione stopped him and the fun began. The girls found out about his cheating and they both slapped him. Then Blaise turned on Hermione.

"You! You did this!"

"So what if I did? They needed to know."

"You little…I challenge you to a duel!"

"What?"

"You heard me! Right now!"

"Fine!"

"Stop! This is against the rules!" Draco yelled to be heard over the crowd that had gathered.

"That's for students only! She is not a student!" Blaise yelled back.

Hermione crouched slightly and Blaise stood tall and proud. Blaise threw big hit spells at her and she deflected them all. Hermione just smirked.

"Earth below me, submit to my will. Dug haut!" Hermione said calmly. Several large stone spears shot out of the ground. One spike caught Blaise's cloak and raised him up about ten feet in the air. "You gonna give up now?"

"Hell no!" Blaise yelled furiously. He used a levitation spell to raise himself off of the spike and land on the ground.

"Good…wind, crimson flame. Grant the power of thunder to my hand. Digger vult!" Hermione said as she dodged Blaise's attacks. The spell didn't hit him directly, so he was alive and conscious. He dropped to his knees in submission.

Hermione turned toward Draco and started walking towards him. Blaise cast Conjunctivitis and hit her directly. Hermione turned only to be hit with Crucio. Hermione fought to stay standing. He cast several spells on her and he actually hurt her. She cast Fireball and knocked Blaise out. Hermione collapsed and Draco ran to her. The last thing she saw before everything went black was Draco's worried face.
