Draco's POV

"Hermione, please calm down," Draco deadpanned, looking over the cover of the book he was trying to read. But a certain bushy know-it-all was ranting and raving, and tearing out her hair. 

She's going loony, Draco thought. She's never been told off by a teacher before and it's driven her mad.

"Hermione?" he tried again. 

Hermione didn't even seem to hear him, and continued to talk. "I cannot believe this! I messed up so badly! And know he knows!" 

Lily suddenly popped up from behind the door. 

"What happened, Hermione? What are you scared about? Are you alright? Who knows?" her voice was sickly sweet. It was clear she was still trying to find out what was odd about them.

"The Transfiguration exam. I had no idea that it would be so hard! I got an A - Acceptable" Hermione defined, like Lily didn't know. She lied so smoothly, without any breaks in between and Draco was almost proud of her.

"Oh really? That's too bad, anyways who knows what?" Lily said, probing even further, trying to find a suspicious answer she could analyze.

"Oh, this guy from Slytherin that we don't really like. I mean, you know! You told us about them in Potions." Hermione eased through the lie, looking innocently sweet.

Lily raised an eyebrow. "Okay, sure."

Hermione let out a sigh and turned to look at Draco once Lily had left the room.They were used to the nice version of Lily that everyone always had talked about back in her time, but a Lily turned against them was kind of terrifying. 

"Well? How did I do?" Hermione asked Draco, referring to her lying skills. 

"You could use some work" he smirked, chuckling at he annoyed expression.

"Did I just hear Draco Malfoy chuckling? He chuckled! Historic!" Hermione laughed and danced around the room triumphantly, while Draco tried in vain to cover himself and his blushing face.

At least she didn't remember the Yule Ball.

"That was a mocking laugh. It mocked. Malfoy's do not chuckle," he informed her professionally.  

Merlin, there was a long list of what Malfoy's should not do. 

 1. Malfoy's do not associate themselves with people lower than themselves unless it is for the sole purpose of slander or a derogatory statement. 

2. Malfoy's do not laugh

3. Malfoy's do not raise their voice

4. Malfoy's do not talk to half-breeds

5. Malfoy's do not do stupid things

6. Malfoy's always get what they want

And the list went on and on and on. 

Draco thought of all of the rules he was breaking right now. Stupid things, talking to half-breeds, raising his voice, laughing, talking with Hermione, which was a big no-no.

In this time period, he didn't have to hide behind an evil mask, didn't have to adhere to the Malfoy rules - he didn't have to pretend to be his father. He wanted to stay in the past so badly. Going back to the future would only mess things up for him.
