Stay By My Side ✅ (Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy)

Why Malfoy Of All People?

Hermione 

The next morning I woke up feeling tired and sluggish. I sat up in my new bed and wiped my eyes. It was strange waking up in a new room, a new bed, but I would get used to it soon enough. If only I could. I found it hard to sleep last night knowing that he was behind the wall. 

I got up and got changed into my uniform. I used my wand to straighten my hair and I wore a little bit of makeup, which consisted of golden eye shadow, mascara and lip balm. As I was about to make my way to the great hall for breakfast I noticed that Malfoy had already left. I suppose it was a relief to not see him this morning. I didn't need any stress to start my first day. I went down to the great hall and sat next to Ginny whom was all smiles and full of laughter. I presumed she had already got a letter from Harry.

"Hi Hermione how are you today?" she says pouring herself some apple juice.

"I'm okay Gin, and you?"

"I'm fabulous." she beams. I

"So you got a letter from Harry?" I asked with a sincere smile.

"Yes I did Mione. It was a beautiful letter and he told me he loved me like ten times and... and... Oh my god Hermione you got head girl. I forgot, that's brilliant!" I tried to ignore the fact that she changed the subject from Harry to me being head girl, but I smiled as i showed her my badge.

"Yes I did Ginny and thank you." I say "I'm sure you already know, but unfortunately Malfoy is my new roomate." Ginny gave a a sympathetic look as i sighed.

"So what's it like sharing a room with Malfoy?" Ginny whispers. I glanced over at Malfoy sitting over at the Slytherin table with his fellow goons, Goyle, Crabbe (Note:yes he is not dead in my story), Blaise and Pansy. Malfoy caught my gaze and smirked. God I hated when he smirked at me...

"I hate that evil cockroach," I mumble gritting my teeth. "He is a nightmare Ginny. I want to die, simple as that."

Ginny laughed and we continued chatting. Breakfast was soon over and everybody started to make their way to their first class. I had charms first, and Ginny had ancient ruins. I said bye to Ginny and I started to make my way to class. As I was walking down the corridors I saw Malfoy with Parkinson pressed up against a wall... and they were kissing. There was nobody in the isolated corridor except me, Malfoy and Parkinson. Pansy had her arms wrapped around Draco's neck while he kissed her hungrily. I stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. I cleared my throat. Malfoy immediately pushed Pansy away and spun around with an angry expression on his face.

"What do you want mudblood!?" he yells in my direction. Eyes full of rage... and embarrassment?

"Oh nothing. I was just simply walking past on my way to charms and I saw both of you here." I gave my best smirk to both of them. "Don't mind me. I'll best be on my way."

"Shut up you stupid mud blood... your just jealous because Weasley is not here to kiss you like Draco is kissing me." said pug faced Pansy. Despite her obvious clueless-ness, I felt as though there was something oddly sinister about her.

"I'm kealous of people like you? Give me a break Parkinson. Now if you don't mind I have to go to class." I say. "See you later Malfoy." I say in a mocking voice. Malfoy clenches his jaw so tight that I was surprised that his teeth did not break.

The school day flew by. In potions we made a few potions and took some notes and we are on a new topic in charms. Nothing special happened. I already knew most of the things we done. As I sat in the great hall during dinner talking to Ginny about our day I could not help but let my eyes wander the Slytherin table. Draco sat there with his blonde hair with a messy look to it and the first 2 or 3 buttons of his shirt open. I could see why all the Slytherin females swooned over him. There was no way I would admit to anything though. Then Ron popped in my mind, was it wrong to find another guy attractive whilst in a relationship? Technically it was not cheating, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Ron will only ever be the only one for me. I love Ron. He is the most kind, decent, honest boy I ever met. Despite the fact that he can be a bit... well not so intelligent at times. But that is okay, everybody has their flaws. I rolled my eyes as Malfoy gave me one of his famous smirks. What is it with this guy and his smirks?
