Chapter 13: part 13
When Hermione woke up the next day, (Tuesday if your wondering), she first glanced at the bed beside her. It was empty. She got up and knocked on the bathroom door. No answer. She opened it slowly but he wasn't in there either. She decided he must be in the common room so she went and checked, but he wasn't in there. She sighed, great he's still mad at me. I didn't even do anything! He is vain though! MEN! She took a shower and changed into her uniform and robes and headed to breakfast hoping he was there. The tables were back to normal, she noticed Draco sitting at the Slytherin table with Crabbe and Goyle. She sat down at the Gryffindor table with Parvati.
"Hey Hermione," Parvati smiled.
"Hi," Hermione smiled as she ate.
"You look a bit down, you okay?" Parvati asked.
"Yea, just a late night," Hermione replied. "Studying."
"Oh," Parvati nodded.
They ate breakfast in silence and then Harry and the others all arrived. After breakfast, Ron, Harry and Hermione headed to Charms. Outside the classroom, Draco was standing with his two bodyguards, Blaise and Pansy. Hermione was close by.
Pansy was giggling like a hyena, "Oh Draco you're so funny!"
Hermione's back was to them but she could hear, even though Ron and Harry were in a conversation, Hermione was listening to Draco and Draco knew it.
"Thanks Pansy, I'm here to please," he smirked at her. Hermione turned around slowly and slyly, she moved to the other side of Ron and Hermione so she could see Draco.
Draco grinned at Pansy, "You look gorgeous today Pansy."
"Aw Draco," she grinned. "You keep flattering me and I won't be able to keep my hands off you!"
Draco flirted, "I say what I mean babe."
"Draco..." Pansy began before the classroom opened.
Hermione felt her heart sink as she entered the classroom, not looking at Draco anymore. She was hurt, how can he just flirt with her...Pansy fucking whore Parkinson out of all people! Hermione tried not to cry. He doesn't mean anything to me.
Meanwhile, Pansy had left and Draco sat with Blaise.
"You're a complete idiot," Blaise said.
"You what?" Draco asked.
"Granger..."
"What about her?"
"Look at her!" Blaise demanded.
Draco reluctantly turned his head to see Hermione a few tables away. His face fell. She looked hurt, shattered.
"She's close to tears because of you. You're a complete idiot!" Blaise said. "Can't you see the girls' falling for you? And your engaged to her! Then you go and flirt with Pansy! What were you thinking?"
"I was mad at her," Draco said in a low voice, his eyes still on Hermione who was still looking down and not answering any of the questions the Professor was asking the class.
"Yea well guess what, she's hurt, and if I was her I wouldn't forgive you!" Blaise said before concentrating on the class.
Draco sighed. He wanted to talk to her but he didn't get a chance. He tried to catch her after class but she was gone so fast he could've sworn she apparated but he knew that inside Hogwarts that was impossible.
Hermione sat in her Ancient Runes class, yea she had ran from her last class only because she didn't want Draco to see her tears. I thought he cared about me, I thought he had started to...guess I was wrong, same old Draco. Does what he wants, no matter what. Like I was going to change him. Why am I crying over this. Its so stupid.
Hannah Abbott came and sat next to her, "You okay Hermione?"
Hermione nodded, not daring to speak.
"Hermione, talk to me," Hannah said softly.
Hermione looked at her, "I thought he cared."
"Who?" Hannah asked.
"It doesn't matter," Hermione mumbled. "I can't be here, can you cover for me."
"Sure Hermione," Hannah smiled.
Hermione thanked her and ran to her common room, she knew Draco had a lesson. She was shocked to find Ginny in there.
"Hey," Ginny said.
Hermione was in tears. Ginny ran up to her and hugged her, "What's wrong?"
"I...I hate him!" Hermione cried. "I hate him!"
"Who?" Ginny asked leading them to the sofa.
Hermione calmed down and wiped away the tears. "Draco!"
"What'd he do?"
"He flirted with Pansy Parkinson, the school slut, because he was mad at me!"
Ginny hugged her, "You need to talk to him."
"I don't want to talk to him!"
"You obviously care what he thinks, you care about him!"
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM! I CAN'T STAND HIM! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM!" Hermione had stood up and was shouting and the tears were starting again.
Ginny hugged her again.
"I can't talk to him now, he probably won't care," Hermione said after a while.
Ginny nodded, "Look its time for the next class, you going to yours?"
"No."
"You do know you have to go to Life Classes or else."
"Yea I know," Hermione sighed waving to Ginny.
She stayed in the common room to think. I was jealous of Pansy, I wanted to be the one he complimented...not her!

Draco went to his lessons. He still looked for Hermione every chance he got. She wasn't at lunch which pissed him off. Why wasn't she there when he needed her? Why was I such a jerk? He stayed in the hall after lunch for the class. The tables were moved and desks were conjured by Snape. Hermione had walked in. She walked over to him and stood about a meter from him. He could see the hurt on her face and he felt like killing himself for what he had done.
Today McGonagall said that they were to read a few chapters of a book: How to make a marriage work by George. J. E. L. E. E. Andrew. McGonagall had allowed them to talk and move around if the felt like it.
"Hermione," Draco said softly.
"What?" she snapped.
"Can we talk?" he asked.
"No, I don't want to talk to you!" Hermione replied turning back to her book.
"Hermione please give me a chance to..." Draco began.
Hermione stood up, "Get stuffed." She walked over to Ron's table. Lavender had moved towards Ginny.
Draco watched as Hermione laughed at something Ron said about the author's name. He watched her. She was reading her book and Ron poked her, Hermione giggled again. Draco didn't like it. He felt his blood boil.
Hermione giggled, "Ron stop! You know I'm ticklish! I'm not in the mood!"
Ron poked her again.
"RON!" she shouted.
Draco was walking over to them, he pulled Hermione off her chair.
"Oi!" Ron said.
"Shut it Weasel!" Draco shouted. People were starting to look at the scene.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked angrily.
"What you think I'm doing?" Draco asked his voice rising. "I'm stopping my fiancé flirt with him!" He pointed to Ron who went red.
"I WASN'T FLIRTING!" Hermione shouted. "You do that not me!"
Draco rolled his eyes.
"YOU KNOW WHAT DRACO! STAY AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!"
"YOU THINK I WANT TO BE NEAR YOU? I'LL STAY AWAY FROM YOU IF YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
"MR MALFOY!" Snape barked. "MISS GRANGER!"
Both students were silenced.
"You were warned once about this behaviour," Snape snarled. "You two will miss the rest of today's class, you are not to leave your room until tomorrow morning! Understood?"
They nodded.
"Leave," Snape barked.
"With pleasure," Hermione muttered storming out.
"Filth," Draco muttered following her steps. She was way ahead of him, he let her walk fast. He didn't care. He didn't want to be near her. He wanted to kill Ron, but he couldn't. If Snape hadn't interrupted him, his next move would be to hex Ron. Maybe he'd get a chance later on. As for now he would have to spend the afternoon with Hermione.
Hermione meanwhile was already in her room. She was frantic. He flirts yet I get yelled at for a little bit of giggling! He was all over Pansy!
Draco walked into the room.
"Where the fuck do you get off telling me I can't have a laugh with Ron?" Hermione asked angrily.
"You were flirting with him!" Draco replied slamming the door shut.
"I WASN'T FLIRTING!" Hermione screamed.
"That's not what it looked like!" Draco shouted.
"And anyway you should talk! What the hell were you doing with Pansy! And calling her babe?" Hermione asked.
Draco smirked, "Jealous?"
"NO!" Hermione replied. "Why would I be huh? You're a heartless jerk!"
"And your what? Perfect? You were flirting with Ron, to get back at me!"
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Hermione shouted.
Draco had his shield up.
"Confringo!" Hermione screamed aiming at the lamp beside him, which exploded.
"GRANGER STOP!" Draco shouted.
"Why?" She asked him. "So you can flirt with Pansy?"
"I DIDN'T FLIRT WITH HER!" He raised his wand, "Expelliarmus."
Hermione dodged the curse, "Defodia!" Deep gauges appeared in Draco's bed.
"I CAN'T STAND YOU DRACO!" Hermione shouted.
"YOU THINK I CAN STAND YOU!" Draco replied.
"I HATE YOU!" she shouted.
"I HATE YOU TOO!" He replied.
Hermione raised her wand but before she could fire a spell, Draco grabbed her. He pushed her up against the wall, she was struggling and trying to fight him off when he kissed her like his life depended on it. She kissed him back hungrily. She opened her mouth and let his tongue enter her mouth, neither noticed the door open and close in their room...
