PLEASE REVIEW PLEEEEASE.

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.

My grin however quickly dissolved as I watched Draco leaning again the large wooden door to the hall. He looked annoyingly perfect, his platinum hair combed to the side in a shining halo.

'Guess whose keeping you company!' He practically sang.

'Aren't you staying at the Malfoy manor?'She asked. Her hair was in a curly ponytail with some framing her face messily, and her mouth was quivering.

I had decided to stay at Hogwarts after hearing Hermione telling Ginny she wanted to be alone with her studies; we couldn't have that could we. I smirked to myself, Of course my parents objected immediately but I convinced father I would be more focused this way, and promised mother that id send letters.

'No, change of plan, thought id celebrate in this old place' I rubbed my ring with my thumb.

She stared at me suspiciously 'Why?'

'You.' I murmured truthfully.

'What's the real reason? Malfoy' she said

'Oh Granger why do you hurt me so?' I said sarcastically 'Fine I you don't believe me, let's just say I wanted to take something that was mine' and with that I smiled, before turning to leave.


Hermione POV

The next day)

I woke up to an empty dorm, I stared around the room. Brushing the hair out of my face, I touched my hands to my lips remembering Cassius's kiss.

Why would he do that?

I shook the memory from my mind and got dressed casually before placing Ginny's rose clip in my hair.

I skipped through the halls feeling elated , I had noticed my parents Christmas basket had arrived and remembered I hadn't got them and a couple of other people gifts. I decided to go to hogsmead and pick up a few things and maybe even pamper myself.

Once I had apparated into the snowy street I took a moment to admire the wonderful scenery of the little village , And for once for the whole month I truly smiled, Wrapping my mother's old coat tighter around myself I went into honeydukes deciding to make a little hamper for my parents too, Surprisingly it wasn't very busy only a couple of wizards were buying some last minute Jelly Slugs.

I ran my finger over the large selection sitting on a large shelf, chocolate frogs will freak them out too much, and licorice wands are too sweet, they are dentists after all. I spotted some Tooth flossing Stringmints and Tooth-Splintering Strongmints and went to the counter to pay.

'Hello, dear' Said a jolly woman in bright robes.

I smiled 'Hello' I said and pushed forward my items.

'Just those?' She asked

'Yes.' I rifled in my bag for my purse.

'That's only 4 sickles please.'

I handed her the coins, and took my bag thanking her. As I pulled the old shop door open cold air hit my face, causing me to shiver as I stepped out into the snow. A wizard rushed past me and I walked slowly deciding where to go next I stared into the distance watching the crowd of wizards try and do their shopping, I saw a figure standing still staring right at me I squinted my eyes trying to make out their features. I blinked once and saw nothing but the crowd again, the figure blending in easily.

I quickly rushed into a near by store, Not bothering to look back. I smelt parchment and ink as finally noticed it was a book shop, I grinned happily and began looking through the large stack of books on my left , lost in my imagination, I hadn't noticed an hour had passed by and the crowd of people outside had halved, I thought I would treat myself to a book on ancient occulemency and legilimency I also chose a book on strange and unusual potions that people often forgot, I can always give it as a gift.

I carried them to the large wooden desk at the back of the shop were a man sat reading the daily prophet the large newspaper blocking his face. I put the books down trying to get his attention I coughed.

The large newspaper folded down to reveal a man around my age probably a couple of years older wearing some reading glasses similar to Harry's He had black messy hair that stuck up and A handsome jawline .

'I haven't seen you before.' He leaned forward and smiled.

'Oh I usually use the library at Hogwarts' I said mechanically.

'Oh Hogwarts! I just graduated last year. I was a ravenclaw, I love books as you can see' He gestured around him 'I'm too predictable, Let me guess you're a... Gryffindor!' He smiled triumphantly and leaned back.

'How did you know!' I asked a little shocked, yet intrigued.

'You have this ... aura. Maybe I'm crazy but it just screams bravery.' He looked at me his eyes flirtatious, 'And your bag has the crest on it.' He chuckled.

I looked down at my small satchel, looking up through my lashes I smiled. He – whoever he was – really impressed me. Merlin Hermione, just buy the books at get out of here, I thought to myself.

'I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dedrick, Dedrick Trindal.' He smiled and held out his hand. 'And you are?'

'Hermione Granger.' I blushed as he kissed my hand, The ring of the bell on the door behind me forgotten.

'I know you, one of the golden trio- Harry potters best friend aye?'

'Yes that's me' I watched as he looked behind me and I turned to see who it was ,I gasped as I watched a very angry Draco Malfoy glare at me, then at Dedrick. He composed himself and walked forward placing a possessive hand on my back. I wanted to stamp on his foot.

'Hermione, I've been looking for you.' He said in a sickly sweet voice.

'You have?' I watched as Dedrick looked down and began packing my books into a bag.

'Who's this?' Draco spat as he glared at Dedrick.

'Oh, This is Dedrick Trindal, Dedrick this is Draco Malfoy' I introduced them , The tension unbearable.

Dedrick finally looked up and nodded, he seemed intimidated by Malfoy.

'That's five galleons, Hermione.' He looked at me with forgiving eyes.

'I'll pay, princess.' Draco handed him the money before I could protest. I decided to give him the money outside the shop instead of making a scene. He took the bag, and quickly guided me away from Dedrick.

'Thank you!' I waved to Dedrick and struggled to turn around at Draco's strength.

'Goodbye Hermione! I do hope to see more of you!' He called as we left the shop. And I wrenched myself from Draco's grasp.

'What the hell was that?' Draco demanded.


-Draco POV-

I had been looking for Hermione all morning and had finally found her at the end of the street at hogsmeade, oh your too predictable love. I watched as she saw me but didn't recognize me in my cloak she then rushed into a book shop.

I trudged down the street pleased with my finding her, and finally watched through the window as she flicked through books. It was entertaining for a while until it went on for half an hour and I began twiddling my wand between my fingers, suddenly I heard voices and turned back to the window and watched as a book keeper began flirting with my Hermione. I tried to withstand entering until he kissed her hand and all I saw was red.

I grabbed the door handle angrily and rushed forward. Wanting to put my claim on her i put a hand on her back.

'Hermione, I've been looking for you.' I muttered trying to keep my composure.

She stiffened under my gaze.

'You have?' She said casually trying to pretend she didn't know me.

I grit my teeth 'Who's this?'

'Oh, this is Dedrick Trindal, Dedrick this is Draco Malfoy' I immediately hated him, But loved the sound of my name on her lips, Hermione Malfoy soon I thought.

I ignored the bookkeeper and handed him the cash, wanting to make my claim on her official

I said 'I'll pay, princess.' And finally steered her far away from the male.

'Goodbye Hermione! I do hope to see more of you!' I heard him say behind us, I wanted to hex him.

'What the hell was that?' I demanded. My fists clenched.
