Hermione was walking down the corridor, clutching the books that didn't fit in her bag to her chest. She was trying to squeeze her way through the crowded corridor, scared she might be late for her next class. She had just found a gap in the dense crowd when a seventh year Ravenclaw filled it, pushing Hermione out of the way.

" Ouch!" She said as his elbow hit her in the arm. The Ravenclaw looked down. 

" Oh sorry. I didn't see you there."He said.

Hermione smiled at hiim. " It's alright." She said. 

" Here" the Ravenclaw boy moved out of the way and left an opening for Hermione to fit through .

" Thanks !" Hermione beamed at him. 

" No Problem." He replied 

Hermione squirmed her way through. still clutching her books, until she got to a corridor that was sightly less full. She sighed in frustration;she was never going to make it to class if all the halls were packed like this. She supposed it was because it was cold outside, and the seventh years decided to spend their free periods inside studying. she sighed again and startedpushing through 

********

Malfoy saw Hermione struggling to make it through the corridor and grimaced. No one was letting her through and it was upsetting him. Anyone could see she wanted to make it to class. 

Malfoy saw a Ravenclaw boy, probably from seventh year, elbow Hermione in the side and he clenched his jaw. He'd better apologize to her, or Malfoy'd make sure he did.

He saw the boy turn around and it looked like he apologized to her. Malfoy saw Hermione beam at him, and suddenly he wished the Ravenclaw hadn't apologized to her. She could smile at the Ravenclaw like that....

 Malfoy mentally rolled his eyes and saw Hermione walk off, clutching her books.  He turned and scowled at the Ravenclaw even though he couldn't see Malfoy. He crossed his arms and leaned against the window, darkening his glare. 

" What's the matter mate?" Blaise asked, looking at Malfoy.

" Nothing!" Malfoy snapped. " It's not your buisness Blaise."

Blaise held up two hands. " Okay mate, don't snap at me." He turned and walked away.

Pansy eyed Malfoy suspiciously and that made Malfoy angry. "What do you want?" He snapped at her to.

" I'm just wondering why your mad." She said.

" Well don't." Malfoy said.

Pansy shot him one last glance before she walked away to.

Malfoy reluctantly left his place by the window and started walking to class so he wasn't late. Unlike Hermione, Malfoy had no trouble getting through the halls, people moved over once they saw him.

That used to make him smirk, but he didn't know what to think of it anymore, so he just went along with it.

He was heading to his transfiguration class when he remembered he forgot to ask Hermione to help him with his charms essay. Not help, just....some part of him still didn't like accepting help from other people.

He had to find her before class started. He searched for her in the halls but didn't see her. He didn't even know what class she had. Did she have transfiguration with him? He kept searching the crowds until he eventually saw her bushy head struggling through the sea of students. He almsot wanted to smirk at the sight, but he didn't. Instead he pushed his way through until he caught up with her. He didn't have to worry about anyone seeing them, everyone was busy with their friends and the corridors were too packed for anyone to see them.

" Hey Granger!" He said.

Hermione jumped a foot in the air and turned to face him. She immediatly blushed dark red at the sight of him and Malfoy could feel last nights embarrassment creeping up on him too. Why did she have to blush? she could just forget about it, it made it easier.

She started walking away faster, but since the corridors were stil packed she didn't make it very far before Malfoy caught up with her again.

" Wait Granger. " He said.  " I have to ask you something!" 

Finally she stopped to stare at him, blushing furiously.

" Yes Malfoy ?" She questioned in a high voice that almost made Malfoy laugh. 

Suddenly Malfoy felt embarrased again and started scratching the back of his neck. It reminded Hermione of Harry. 

" Uhm.. you said you might be able to help me with my charms essay?" Now his voice was an octave higher.

" You want me to ?" Hermione squeaked. 

Malfoy nodded." Yeah" He said, gaining some of his confidence back. 

" Uhm.. okay.In the library tonight? After dinner?" 

" Uhh sure" Malfoy replied. 

" Uhm. Okay see you then." Hermione said as she rushed off. The whole way to her next class she was thinking how that was one promise she was going to regret.

Malfoy watched her leave.What had he gotton himself into ?
