Hogwarts RPG Name: Harvey Jarvis Second Year | Horses Forever! l l Writer for Life l Yearbook alumnus Here's another bit! 
I'm not sure when I'll be able to post next as I'm leaving tomorrow for a week or so, and I don't know how often I'll be able to get my hands on an internet connection. I shall do my best, however --------------- Chapter 6 “I can’t believe he set us an essay on top of that other essay!” Ron exclaimed, causing Hermione to roll her eyes.
“Very articulate you are, Ron,” Ginny observed, helping herself to some baked potatoes for lunch. “Harry, when is our next Quidditch match?”
“Not for a few weeks,” the black-haired boy replied. “I can’t wait to face Malfoy again…”
Hermione pretended to be fully engrossed in eating her steak, but she could not ignore the sudden attention she was paying the conversation now that it had turned to Draco.
…since when had she begun thinking of him as Draco, anyway?
“I bet you that git cursed the bludger just so you couldn’t win,” Ron proclaimed.
Ginny looked at her brother with mild disbelief. “Do you really think he’s that thick? Don’t you think the teachers would have looked into the matter?”
“I’d have to agree with my girlfriend on this one, Ron,” Harry smiled. “But I’m sure he has something up his sleeve, the way he never seems to pay attention in class, it’s almost like last year when he was planning Dumbledore’s death…”
“I bet you he’s spying on us for…”
“He has nothing up his sleeve and he’s definitely not spying,” Hermione dropped her cutlery down with a clatter. She felt inexplicably angry at her friends for bad-mouthing Draco as they were, making groundless assumptions sound like facts and suspecting him of all that’s bad.
“How do you know?” Ron asked her, preparing for a fight.
Hermione realized she’d have to explain what she overheard that summer to them, now, seeing the curiosity and even slight suspicion the three Gryffindors were regarding her with. She sighed before leaning forward and motioning for them to do the same, so that they would not be overheard.
“I heard McGonagall and Lupin discussing his safety this summer,” she revealed. “Draco and his mother passed onto our side almost as soon as last year ended, he spied for us secretly for a few months before Lucius found out and both Draco and his mother had to go into hiding.”
Harry and the two Weasleys just stared at her for a moment, before Ron burst out laughing.
“That’s a good one, Hermione, I almost believed you there,” he guffawed.
Hermione’s eyes narrowed angrily at his flippant attitude. “I was perfectly serious.”
Ginny looked at her friend a moment longer before turning to Harry and her brother. “You know, that does sort of make sense. I mean, you never see him hanging out with his own cronies – or anyone, for that matter. He doesn’t get mail at breakfast, and besides, if he really were with Voldemort, do you really think McGonagall would have let him come back?”
“But it’s… Malfoy,” Harry shook his head, processing what he’d just learned, and Hermione groaned in frustration at how narrow-minded he could be sometimes.
“However unbelievable it might seem to you, it’s the truth, get used to it,” Hermione told them, gathering her things and heading for the door. She was almost there when Ginny caught up with her and joined her on the elder girl’s excursion to the Library.
“All right, suppose what you told us is a fact, that still doesn’t explain why you suddenly called him by his first name,” the red-haired girl noticed, glancing up at her friend to see her blush.
“I… well… it’s his name, right? Malfoy just make same think of his father, and I don’t think the two can be associated together any longer,” Hermione explained lamely.
“Right. So there’s nothing that you’re hiding, is there?” Ginny asked, suspecting that something had in fact changed between Hermione and Draco but wanting the girl to reveal this herself.
“No! No, of course not,” the Muggleborn denied, almost too vehemently. “I just feel sorry for him, that’s all. There’s nothing more to it.”
Hermione wondered why she suddenly felt that particular unease which invaded her senses every time she lied.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Harvey Jarvis Second Year | Horses Forever! l l Writer for Life l Yearbook alumnus Hehe looks like I managed to get my hands on a connection for a bit... so, just to keep you happy, here's another part 
Thanks for all the lovely comments! ------------ Chapter 7 Draco walked slowly from the Library, his mind on other matters, when his musings were suddenly interrupted by a flustered Hermione Granger, who, much to his surprise, appeared to be chasing him.
“Malfoy!” she called, noticing that he’d spotted her.
He paused and waited, curious why she was after him. Of course, were any of the other Slytherins with him, he probably would not have given her a second glance, but even if he hadn’t yet fully admitted this to himself, he didn’t mind the presence of the young witch. In fact, he found himself thinking sometimes that he quite liked it; it was a certainly refreshing change from the sly and cunning and frequently dim individuals who hung around him form his own house.
“What do you want?” he asked her, once she’d caught up with him.
“I just… I was wondering…” she obviously wasn’t sure how to phrase her request, and Draco had the sudden feeling he didn’t want to hear what would come from her lips. In spite of himself, however, he urged her to speak.
“Spill it out, I don’t have all afternoon,” he said, harshly.
“I wanted to know what you were doing by the statue of the one-eyed witch that day,” she told him, looking him straight in the eye.
Although he was rather surprised by this demand, it was not information he was ready to share, and especially not with one of Harry Potter’s best friends. He knew that if the famous “boy who lived” found out about this, he would be expelled faster than he could explain himself.
“I told you it was none of your business,” he pushed past her, but her next words stopped him.
“I know you were trying to figure out how to open it. I know how.”
He turned around to face her again, slowly, disbelief threatening to overflow his features. How did Miss Perfect know about secret entrances to the school? And why on earth hadn’t she told the teachers yet? That was what he would have expected her to do, but he was seriously considering the possibility of having underestimated her.
“How do you know that?” he hissed, walking to stand dangerously close to her.
He did his best to ignore the rich fragrance of vanilla which suddenly assaulted his senses when he found himself mere centimeters from her. He had to give it to the girl, though, she certainly wasn’t intimidated easily; she stood her ground.
“I’ve used it before, but that’s beside the point. Tell me why you want to use it, and I’ll tell you how to open it,” she folded her arms across her chest.
“Sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve already worked it out,” he smirked as he turned to leave again. Sometimes, random bits of parchment from Filch’s office really did come in useful.
Once more, however, he was stopped in his footsteps when she spoke.
“For Merlin’s sake, Draco, I won’t tell anyone! I’m not suspecting you of any evil activity, I know you’re under the protection of the Or…”
He clasped his hand against her mouth as he drove her back towards the wall, glancing around once to reassure himself that they were still alone. Thankfully, they were.
“Shut your mouth!” he paused, staring into her eyes and hoping she would realize that this was no joking matter.
If the wrong people in his house found out about his treachery, he knew he would not stay in Hogwarts for long. At least, not alive. Although he had no doubt that most, if not all, Death Eaters now knew he was not to be trusted, he doubted many of the aspiring supporters of the Dark lord did; Voldemort wouldn’t want a mess on his hands because some overzealous supporter decided to prove his loyalties to the Dark side by eliminating Draco.
As he stared at her, his hand loosened the hold her had on Hermione’s shoulder and her mouth. He kept staring into her eyes, and began absentmindedly tracing the lips he had just been stifling. It took him a moment to start thinking again and to realize exactly what it was that he was doing, and he moved away from her, quickly.
“Granger, that’s classified information and I don’t care how you found out, but if the wrong people here discover it also, you’ll have my death staining your hands,” he warned her, feeling slightly distracted with her wide, honey-brown eyes still staring straight into his.
“Fine, I won’t tell anybody, if…” she let the word hang in the air between them, the lips he’d just traced sporting a smirk to rival his own, “if you tell my why you wanted to leave Hogwarts.”
“Fine,” he frowned, barely realizing he’d raised his voice as he had to admit to himself he’d lost this battle with her. Oh, and how Draco Malfoy hated losing!
“Really?” she looked surprised at how quickly he’d agreed to her terms.
“I was going to see my mother,” he said quietly. “I know she’s hiding in the area, and I hadn’t seen her since the start of the year, I want to make sure my father hasn’t found her yet, because Merlin knows your precious Order doesn’t think that informing me of the wellbeing of my only living relative is something they should do.”
Hermione stared at him, obviously very taken aback by his admission. His frown deepened; let her be surprised then, let her pity him, why should he care?
Putting a finger to his lips to remind her to stay quiet, he marched off down the corridor. Despite his best intentions, he did care.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Harvey Jarvis Second Year | Horses Forever! l l Writer for Life l Yearbook alumnus Thanks to everyone who commented, as usual --------- Chapter 8 Hermione had managed to rearrange her scrambled eggs on her plate multiple times already, her lack of hunger escaping her ravenous friends who were still trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. If she were aware of her own acting, she would have been grateful it was still too early for Ron and Harry to be as observant as they usually were. As it were, her own mind wandered and she kept shooting furtive and much too frequent glances at the Slytherin table.
More than once already silver eyes had met brown above the heads of the babbling students, and in between owls delivering mail.
Their last encounter had sunk deep into Hermione’s mind, and she kept thinking about how much Draco must have changed over the summer to think like he did now. She could not imagine the spoilt, arrogant and prejudiced boy from previous years to think about his mother, worry about her and her whereabouts, yet here he was, struggling to find the means to see her.
Finally deciding she was sick of sitting there when she wasn’t eating anyway, and noticing the blond Slytherin had vanished somewhere, Hermione got up, informed her friends she wanted to get a book out of the Library before class began, and left the Hall.
She wasn’t in the Library five minutes when she felt rather than heard him approach her.
“Granger,” he greeted, standing next to her, but not doing much else.
“Malfoy,” she returned, noticing the guarded expression on his face, and firmly ignoring the thought of how good he looked that morning, with his hair hanging naturally into his eyes rather than being gelled back, and with no sneer disfiguring his features.
“I… I wanted to thank you for not telling anyone,” he managed, suddenly looking past her and out the window behind her. “You haven’t, have you?”
She looked rather startled and almost hurt when he suddenly asked her that, his eyes finding hers once more for the umpteenth time that morning.
“No,” she shook her head. “I told you I wouldn’t. After all, how could I live with myself knowing the biggest ferret of them all died because of me?”
She said this with a smile, not meaning to insult him, and finding that she didn’t want him to leave, yet. She’d realized how different he was to the boy she once considered him to be, and she wanted to find out more about him. Despite his actions over the previous years, Hermione had a feeling that Draco was actually a much better person than anyone gave him credit for.
She recalled how she’d seen a first-year run into him the other day, on the corridor, and she’d drawn her wand, fully expecting the blond to abuse the kid. She was shocked to see him help the girl up before walking off, accepting her apology. He had no idea, of course, that she had witnessed this prime example of his kindness.
But that, combined with his apology, and the looks they’d been exchanging recently (not only that morning) and the fact he hadn’t insulted her, not seriously and cruelly as he used to, once this year all made her think he was he sort of person she would like to get to know better. The sort of person she would like to talk to, someone she could someday consider her friend.
“Feel free to admit you don’t want me gone because without me, you’d have no serious competition when it comes to schoolwork, and you’d be bored out of your mind,” he teased back, and her eyes widened when she saw him smile.
Not smirk, or sneer, but genuinely smile, straight at her.
He turned to leave, still smiling. “See you around… Hermione.”

Hogwarts RPG Name: Harvey Jarvis Second Year | Horses Forever! l l Writer for Life l Yearbook alumnus Hehe yes, "Hermione" it is 
And HannahLongbottom, this is only because I'm leaving for a week next week and I won't be around at all So I'm using the time I have not to write. And post. And write some more.
And read 
All right, well, this is the penultimate chapter, be warned. but I already have another idea for a Dramione story, I'll be starting on that soon as well... 
Enjoy! --------------- Chapter 9
All of the Hogwarts student body attended the Christmas ball, ‘awwing’ and ‘aaaahing’ at the spectacular decorations adorning the Great Hall, which had been transformed into ballroom.
Even Draco was impressed (although he wouldn’t actually admit this to anyone were somebody to ask him) with the intricate chandeliers, floating candles in various shapes, frozen fireworks suspended among the enchanted stars of the ceiling. He walked confidently in his black dress robes, ignoring the admiring looks he received from the majority of the female attendees. He came alone, and he had no intention of flirting with anyone there.
Well, perhaps with one person… although he highly doubted he would have the chance to, never mind what people would start saying were they to be seen holding a civil conversation with one another.
But then such thoughts flew out of his mind when he saw her at the other end of the chamber, a lilac dress hugging her curves and falling in shimmering elegance to the floor. Her hair fell in waves down her back as she moved over to her two best friends. Even they, Draco noticed, looked impressed.
He swallowed and looked away from her, in the fear someone would notice him gawping. Unfortunately for him, someone did, and they approached him with a face full of unhidden glee.
“So, Granger’s the one occupying your mind these days, eh?” Blaise asked, standing close to his friend so that nobody could overhear them. As a Slytherin, discretion was in his blood.
“Sod off, Zabini,” Draco warned, not deigning to look at him and taking a sip of his punch.
“Yes, well, I can see why you’re sporting that attitude,” Blaise continued, smirking. “I doubt that her two bodyguards would let you near enough for you to say ‘hi’ to her, much less to win her heart, but there is always a slim chance of a miracle…”
“The only miracle that will be occurring here tonight will be you surviving, unless you stop talking.” Draco stated, casting the other boy a narrow-eyed glance before moving over to another group of Slytherins and pretending to join in their conversation, although his mind kept wandering to her.
He knew that Blaise was right, of course. But what was he to do? He couldn’t help feeling attracted to her, and…
As soon as he realized what he’d thought, Draco shook his head and mentally berated himself. Deciding enough was enough, he excused himself and began walking in the direction of the door, suddenly deciding that an early night was not such a bad idea after all.
He was just passing through the door of the Entrance Hall when he noticed he’d almost walked into someone, someone dressed in a shimmering lilac dress.
“Hi,” she said, smiling at him. Was it the lighting, or was she blushing?
“Hi,” he responded with a smile. “You look lovely.”
She looked at him, surprised, but then smiled. He didn’t know where that compliment had come from; he hadn’t been thinking about what he was saying, that was certain.
“Well… goodnight, I guess,” she said awkwardly, after a moment’s silence.
“Goodnight,” he replied, perfectly aware of how lame this conversation was but feeling powerless to change this fact. They moved around each other to go to their respective common rooms.
