The Next Day...
Draco was thinking too hard about everything, and he knew it was a losing battle. Last night had been nothing short of amazing, and he was starting to regret it already. His lips were bruised badly enough that his friends could easily notice it if nothing was done to fix it. Luckily, he had a simple spell of his own for such occasions. He smirked to himself while his lips healed. It wasn't like this had been his first time snogging a girl's brains out. No, Draco was a sexy beast- Granger may not have seen it before, but she must know now, at least, that Draco was more than-
He stopped, his pupils growing with terror. What did he care? It was Granger, after all. It wasn't like he cared about what she thought. Besides, last night was to prove a point, nothing more. She probably hated him for forcing himself on to her anyway.
He slammed his head against the wall, emphasizing each word he said with another slam. "You. Don't. Care. About. Granger!" He stopped, his head still against the wall. Something was wrong with him. He had to get Granger out of his head right then. He pulled his textbooks for this year, trying to focus on the pretest that Snape was giving everyone today, as he had announced the day before in the Great Hall. So Draco began memorizing his seventh year potions book. He started in the E's. Elixer To Induce Euphoria. He began going over this potion many times, never stopping until he had known the potions by heart. When he came to the end of the book, he went back and started in the A's. When he came to Amortentia, his mind was whirring. This... this could be useful on Granger...
Draco slammed the book shut quickly, and then walked out of his room. This was NOT the time to be thinking about Granger. Not at all. No, he wasn't going to think about Granger again for the rest of the day.
As if that would actually happen. When he was walking to the Great Hall for breakfast, he nearly ran straight into her and Ginny talking. Still, when he heard them talking, he quickly stepped into an empty corridor. He didn't mean to eavesdrop, it just happened. "Are you mad, Hermione? He's- He's -He's..." Ginny was at a loss for words.
"I'm telling you, Ginny. I think I might be falling for him." Hermione sighed dreamily.
"You mean your hormones are falling for him." The Weasley girl corrected. "Don't get hormonalness confused with love, Hermione. It's what destroys girls like us."
"Hormonalness isn't even a real word, Ginny." Granger laughed.
Draco's eye widened, his mind whirring. Granger was falling for someone? Well, he would just have to dispose of this boy, whoever he was. Draco, not wanting to hear another word of this, stepped out of the corridor, revealing himself. Hermione stared, and her books dropped to the floor. A loose paper fell out of her books, but she forgot about the paper as she gathered her things, trying to make an escape.
Draco chuckled. "Ginny, nice seeing you." He looked at Granger, her face contorted in fear. She was standing now, in a stance to flee at first chance. "And as for you, Granger..." He walked up to her and pushed her up against the wall. He whispered so quietly that only she could hear him. "That boy you were talking about? I'm sure he hates your guts." He growled, trying to discourage her from liking this other smirked, then saw the tears forming in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Hermione." He tried for a kind, friendly smile, but it just wouldn't come to him. The tears began to fall as he backed away from her and walked down the corridor towards the Great Hall. What he didn't hear was Hermione's sobbing voice as he walked away.
She was so quiet as she said it, but Ginny heard her loud and clear. "I love you, Draco." Then Hermione got up, and ran to the library. Ginny yelled after her.
"Hermione!" Ginny didn't bother going after her. Her redheaded fury kicked in, and she turned and began marching towards the Great Hall. That ferret was going to get a piece of her mind, whether he wanted it or not.
