Draco Malfoy isn't so bad at all, Hermione soon realized. She had tuned to where he was standing at the back of the class, reciting. She was so absorbed by her own brilliance that she overlooked other people's smarts. Okay, maybe not. Maybe she just overlooked one particular person.
She has always thought Theodore Nott was the second most outstanding student of their batch so it irked her every time Draco's name appeared below hers when names of the top students are posted on the bulletin boards at the end of the school year. She was almost sure his parents bought him a spot and had she not been exemplary enough to prove to be the smartest, he'd have been first. How wrong she was! If she'd allow herself to believe it, Draco Malfoy might actually be just as bright as she is.
She was so consumed by her thoughts, she didn't even notice he already sat on his seat. If he didn't give her a knowing smirk, she wouldn't have been woken up from her reverie. She grimaced at this before she turned to professor Binns and his endless babbling.
Bowing his head to suppress his amusement, Draco clasped his hands together on his desk. Actions speak louder than words and if there's any indication that Hermione Granger was sizing him up, it was the look on her face that gave her away. And by his assessment, it wasn't a negative review of him she's having.
When he got to compose himself, he stole a glance at her which immediately proved to be a bad idea. She was playing with the tips of her hair, her head slightly tilted to the right, exposing her nape. And God damn it if he didn't find it the most exquisite thing he's ever seen.
"You are dismissed." He heard professor Binns say. "A reminder. Papers are due next meeting."
What papers? He realized he was too occupied by his musings of the Gryffindor that he actually didn't hear the History professor mention anything about an assignment.
Shite!
*******
Draco watched as she hurriedly got out of the room. It didn't surprise him to see it. She obviously was trying her best not to be around her ex and the girl he cheat on her with in the same room. He wouldn't blame her. But there's something very important that he thinks she needs to know.

Malfoy?

Yes. How'd you know?

Wild guess. xD What do you mean by stop? Stop what?
-- Malfoy --
Stop hurrying to get out of the class.
-- G: Granger --
Why?
-- Malfoy --
You know why. If anyone should be ashamed to be in the same room as the other, it's them.
