Enemies Unite [A Harry Potter Fanfic]

Emotions

Hermione was woken the next morning by a sharp tapping on the door. She groaned and rolled over, not wanting to wake up.

"Granger, time to get up," Draco's voice rang through the door. She slowly muttered a muffled "ok" and rolled out of bed. Grabbing her clothes she quickly opened the door to see Malfoy still standing in the doorway, one arm resting above on the door frame. He looked hot, with his messy blonde hair and shining blue eyes. His shoulders were broad and well muscled, tanned too. He was, without a doubt, the most attractive Seventh year. Hermione felt weak all of a sudden, as he smiled at her. Draco never smiled at girls, he only made out with them.

"Have a good sleep?" he asked, with a slight smirk on his face.

"Why do you care?" Hermione narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him, raising an eyebrow. He looked away slightly, ruffling his hair.

"I don't!" he spat back, "I just asked to see if you'd snap at me."

"Right, that makes perfect sense then," she said sarcastically,pushing past him to get to the bathroom, brushing against his chest as she did so. A tingle shot through her body as their skin met, but faded as she shut the bathroom door, breathing heavily.

"He's so hot! Oh his eyes, his blonde hair, his smile…Hermione stop! You've got to stop thinking like that! You can't like Draco he's an arrogant prick!" Hermione thought to herself, undressing and hopping in the shower, letting the warm water drip down her body.

Draco paced up and down the lounge room, waiting for Hermione to emerge from the bathroom. He checked his watch, furrowing his brow. Granger was hot; more matured and her body! Could you get any sexier?

"What to do, what to do?" Draco thought, flinging on his cloak and tucking his wand into his pocket. "She's got a good body, but I don't like Granger; she's a stuck-up mud blood bitch. Pure bloods and mud-bloods don't mix. DoI want to disgracemy family name?"

He stopped pacing and a sudden idea sprang into his mind. Yes, that would work, he told himself, a smile playing on his lips. String her along, make her thinkI like her, and then drop her in a flash.

"Brilliance Draco," he thought, "Just plain brilliance."

Hermione opened the bathroom door and stepped out into the lounge room to find Draco, smiling for no apparent reason. She tutted impatiently and went to leave, heading for the portrait door.

"Dra…Malfoy are you coming?" Hermione asked, tugging at his arm.

"Yes, of course I am! Why are you always checking up on me?" he sneered, pushing her lightly out the door. She jerked his hand away.

"Why are you always so horrible to me?"

"Perhaps because I don't like filthy little mud-bloods spying on everything I do," Malfoy replied viciously.

"Since when do I spy? You think I'm interested in what you do?" Hermione snorted, entering the Great Hall. Giving Malfoy one last glare she squeezed between Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor table.

"Hey 'Mione, how's life with Ferret face?" Ron asked his mouth full of cereal.

"Hell. Ergh he's so annoying! I wish he would just curl up and die!" Hermione screeched. Several first years looked at her and Hermione softened her tone.

"Whoa someone's a bit agro!" Harry laughed, patting her on the back comfortingly.

"Hey Ronnie," said Parvati, sitting on Ron's lap.

"Oh hey Vat. What have we got today?" Ron questioned Harry, taking another spoonful of cereal while Parvati played with his hair.

"Double potions," replied Harry and Hermione at the same time, very unenthusiastically.

"C'mon we better go, we don't want to be late," Hermione hurried, pulling Harry off his chair and cramming the last bit of her toast into her mouth. Ron and Parvati followed slowly after them, kissing slowly.

"I'm happy for him y'know. Really happy. Parvati's the first good thing that's happened to him in ages," said Harry, leading Hermione down to the dungeons.

"I know what you mean, you like anyone?" Harry shook his head.

"Nah, I'm over Cho now…Luna's sorta hinting that she wants to get with me but she's not really my type," laughed Harry, adjusting his glasses. "What about you?"

Hermione blushed slightly and looked away. Luckily Harry didn't notice this.

"No of course not! You know boys aren't my thing," Harry scoffed as she said this. "Well not now anyway!" she reassured him.

"That's a lie Hermione and you know it. You're falling for Draco." She thought deep inside her brain.

"Ooh look its Potty and the mud blood. Ruffle a few feathers scar-face give her a kiss," Malfoy called out, as Harry and Hermione approached the class room door.

"Can it Malfoy," hissed Harry, drawing out his wand.

"Take me on "wonder boy" I dare you!" Malfoy taunted, swirling his wand in his fingers. Harryunexpectedly charged at Malfoy, knocking him over and winding him. Pansy Parkinson screamed pathetically.

"Harry, Malfoy stop it!" yelled Hermione, dragging Malfoy off Harry. Hermione's body felt as though it was on fire as she touched Malfoy's arms, pulling him to his feet.

"She's not that bad," Malfoy thought, noticing her soft he was around his mates and he'd never admit it in public.

Malfoy shot Hermione what looked like a "thank you" look, but it was then replaced with a scowl. Harry was shaking angrily.

"Just shut up Malfoy I'm sick of your taunts!" Harry snarled, pocketing his unused wand. Hermione's face was flushed; she was restraining Harry by the arm.

"Right Potter, go crawl off to lover girl…oh that's right, you don't have one!" Zambini Blaise high-fived Malfoy and Hermione muttered in Harry's ear:

"Just leave it,"

"As for you Granger, you'll always be a filthy disgusting mud blood. Too slutty for your own good. You'll be all over Potter soon," Malfoy added, spiting rude words at her. Hermione was hurt inside, although she would never show it. Malfoy was making stuff up just to get a laugh. Snape appeared moments later and let the class inside, Harry and Hermione took a seat up the very back, Ron joining them a moment later.

Hermione couldn't understand it. She was pretty sure she liked Draco, but then he'd turn around and shove it in her face! Her emotions were running wild, she didn't know what to think anymore…
