The mind is vicious.

We were taking the test. Suddenly, Draco shook hands with me.

     "I really like you Hermione, obviously not in that way, but as a friend. You're better than I thought."

    "I'm actually starting to like you as well, Draco. Just please stop calling me mudblood." I replied. 

       My God, Draco was better than I thought.

     "Erm...Hermione...if you don't mind, can I ask you for some help in Herbology?"  

        I blinked and stared at the cold blue ceiling. It was 4:21 A.M. Just a dream? But how...? Obviously it was a dream. Draco would NEVER admit that we were friends, even if we were. I went back to sleep.  

                                                                       **************** 

        "Hermione, wake up!" exclaimed Luna. "I know you were dreaming-but you've got to wake up, your Divination exams are in an hour!"

     "Oh my...thank you Loon-LUNA" I had to get up, Malfoy was the one supposed to be messing up, not me! I went down to the witches' bathroom and took a shower. This time I used the rose smelling conditioner my mother bought me from Australia. I decided to eat breakfast in my dormitory. I ate some bread with Magical Merlin's strawberry jam. By the time I finished my sandwich it was time to go to Divination.

             "Well damn Granger, does your hair always smell this good for a test?" asked Draco.  

            I blushed and snickered.

          "Alright boys and girls, it is now time for your Divination Duo Test. Draco looked at me.  

           "Don't mess up." I scolded.

           Draco simply rolled his eyes. The first question was a bit tricky, but even Draco answered the question with confidence. The rest of the test was easy. I looked over at Ron and Lavender, and Ron was possibly crying when I saw him. It truly ducks that he had Lavender. I looked over at Harry and Cho. They seemed to be working viciously hard. Cho snuck a kiss on Harry as well. Harry smiled. I continued to work on the test with Malfoy for ten minutes, and we were done.

         "Pencils and papers down." said Trelawney. That was not a wish. That was a command.

            This wasn't like the muggle school I went to four years ago. Pencils were literally snatched out of our hands.

       I started to talk to Draco about the test and how easy it was. Draco agreed with me on every statement.

    "Draco, it's time for potions. We shall get going now." I said to him

    "Alright, Hermione. Bye." he retorted.

   He called me Hermione, what on earth was going on with him? First he studied well for the test, he didn't buy himself out of the test, and now he was calling me Hermione? The mind is vicious...isn't it?
