Chapter 7

Malfoy's walk with Hermione could be considered awkward on both parts. Twice they had tried to separate from each other in the crowd but it just wasn't meant to be for the crowd of people had done nothing but push them closer together with each attempt. Deciding that it was pointless to try anymore Malfoy simply enjoyed the silence that they were both contributing to.

She isn't half bad when she's not talking her snotty brains out.

Malfoy thought to himself.

His mind began to stray to how she had felt in his hands, how delicate she had looked as she lay on top of him. His brain suddenly registered to what he had just thought about.

Snap out of it! She's a mudblood! But still, what could one shag hurt?

Malfoy nearly slapped himself at that last thought. Him, the prince of Slytherin shagging her, the princess of Gryffindor! What a spectacularly amusing yet horrid thought. He looked over at Hermione without her noticing. Once again his mind began to jump to thought of her.

Her perfect body, her long wild hair, her luscious eyelashes that her gorgeous brown eyes hid under as she gazed at the ground walking quietly, their shoulders brushing against each others as the crowd pressed down on them forcing them closer.

Malfoy found himself seriously thinking about shagging her, but knew that it would never happen. Not because he wasn't good enough, that could never be a factor for Malfoy, but simply because of their history. A history that Malfoy had no desire to change just for quick shag.

But still, what could it hurt?

Malfoy's sudden turn of thoughts left him slightly confused as they finally reached Potions class. The only desk for two open was the one at the very back of the class. They walked over to it, Malfoy still deep in thought and Hermione sitting down nonchalantly and beginning to unpack her things onto the desk. Malfoy watched her. Suddenly a loud bang rang out in the classroom and Malfoy looked up to see that it was just professor Snape making his entrance as usual.

For the rest of the class period all Malfoy could think of was possibilities.

Could it ever happen? He asked himself.

It wasn't until Snape cleared his throat loudly that Malfoy looked up and began to listen to the professors speech.

"As I was saying, there will be a minor difference this year. You will be working in partners for the rest of the year. Look to the person you sit next to now, for they will be the only other person you may rely on in this class other than yourself of course. Trust them, help them, and respect them because I will be grading you as a team and not as an individual this year. You may not switch partners. The person you are sitting next to is your only choice…"

Malfoy zoned out after that,

How could this be happening again? Another class of being partners with her!

Malfoy turned to Hermione,

"I hope you can deal with this because I'm not going to jeopardize my grade for some silly little muggle born and their drama"

He said coolly causing Hermione's face to turn red with aggravation.

Same old Malfoy, after all what could ever change him.

The answer to that question would come to him soon enough…
