Chapter 2 draft
Looking at herself in the mirror of the girls bathroom, Hermione felt both pathetic and broken at what had just unfolded, not only had she just broken up with her first ever boyfriend but she also had to bump into the only person in the castle who could make her feel lower than she already did.
"Malfoy, of all the people I had to run into it had to be that halfwit" she grunted in annoyance.
Hermione leaned on the sink and grimaced in pain as she leaned on her left wrist. She had forgotten about falling and hurting herself.
"You could always try putting cold water on it" a familiar whining voice startled Hermione as she turned to find moaning Myrtle floating gently toward her offering advice.
Hermione smiled gently at Myrtle before returning her gaze to her now pained wrist, it had started to swell, but she knew that it wasn't broken; it was most probably a sprain.
"You could always heal it yourself you know?" Myrtle pointed out
"Yes, I could. But I think I'll let it heal the old' fashioned way, I'll just put ice on it when I get back to the common room" Hermione stated
"What is it with you mudbloods? Just heal the blasted thing" Malfoy said coldly, startling both Hermione and Myrtle. Myrtle let out a slight whimper and dissipated into nothingness leaving Hermione and Draco alone in the Girl's room.
"What are you doing here Malfoy?" her voice laced with venom.
"Well..." Draco paused for a moment, why had he followed Granger? "You never spoke back to me and then you walked away from me, and no one walks away from a Malfoy" he said pointedly
"So you thought that you would just follow me into the girl's bathroom to finish making me feel small?" Hermione spat, in no mood to argue with the likes of Malfoy.
As she tried to push pass him for the second time that night he grabbed her, Malfoy did not like to be dismissed once, let alone twice and in the same night by Granger none the less.
Hermione winced in pain and recoiled from his tight grasp on her injured hand. "What's your problem Malfoy? Was insulting my friends, belittling me and hurting me once tonight not enough for you?"
Draco hadn't meant to hurt her; he just wanted to stop her from walking away from him. Who gave her the right to think she was better than him? To dismiss him the way she does, filthy mudblood, she should have more respect for him. "It's your own fault Granger. If you hadn't walked away from me again tonight, I wouldn't have grabbed you; and as for earlier it was you who ran into me in the hallway, remember? It's your fault for being out after curfew" Malfoy stated with a smirk on his face.
"Well if you hadn't been out after curfew I wouldn't have run into you" Hermione pointed out coldly
"I had important errands to run" Draco said matter of factly
"Yeah, if you want to call your late night booty calls with pansy "errands" then I guess they are pretty important" Hermione said as a smile started to spread across her face when Draco's eyes widened in astonishment.
Hermione took advantage of his surprise and left Draco standing alone in the middle of the girl's bathroom. "Well, would you look at that? Hermione Granger, left you, Draco Malfoy wide eyed and speechless" Draco turned to see Myrtle sitting on top of one of the girl's stalls looking all smug at what she had just witnessed.
"Shut your whining mouth , you know nothing; you better not tell a sole about what you saw otherwise I'll come back and throw more books through your ugly face" Draco threatened, he didn't like to be laughed at and Granger was going to pay for making him look like a bumbling idiot in front of Myrtle. Myrtle started to cry and jumped into one of the toilets. Looks like Draco made himself perfectly clear.
