Hey guys :) Thanks for the reviews, but I would love to hear more about what you think, or even some plot suggestions. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter.


Hermione sat in silence, her face full of shock. Draco Malfoy, the boy who had tormented her, and hated her and her friends apologized to her, a damn mudblood. Even thinking that word made her flinch a little. He had been the one always throwing it at her, taunting her because of her parents. As much as she would like to pretend it didn't, every time he had said those words it had cut her deeply. And now he says he was sorry. Or at least that he regretted it.

Gathering her belongings, Hermione decided that she had to face him. She had to understand why he had done that. If there was one thing that she hated, it was not having the answer, and to her Draco Malfoy was one complicated puzzle. And she was determined to solve it.

Stepping out of Myrtle's bathroom, she was met with the deserted corridors. Damn, class must have started. Running down the hallway towards History of Magic, she forgot all about Malfoy and what had happened, that is until she came to class.

Pushing the oak door open as quietly as she could, Hermione soon realized that every pair of eyes in the class were trained on her. A mop of bright red hair caught her attention. Ron! Realizing that she would now be forced to face him, not to mention Lavender, her confidence wavered.

Not wanting to talk to anyone, she slipped into the back-right corner spot, instead of her usually front seat. Pulling out her notes, Hermione avoided eye contact with everyone who was looking at her. If she had looked up she would have noticed one pair of grey eyes looking at her with a mix of pity, sorrow, sympathy, but mostly regret.


Sorry that it is so short but I hope you like it and I will try to update really soon. Also please review :D
