keep your enemies closer

chapter 1 - Detention.

I gasped, horrified. Professor McGonagall's wrinkly old finger was pointed at me.

"Granger! Detention!"  She yelled. "Three days, please" I could not believe it - I had never gotten a detention before! I sat frozen in my seat, boiling up in anger. After class I ran up to Ron and harry,

"You idiots! You stupid, foul evil little beasts!" I screamed at them.

"calm down, you've only got detention." Ron said nervously.

"ONLY - ONLY!?  I don't think realise, Ron, that I have never had detention before!" I stamped my foot down in anger.

"Well then, it's about time you did!" He sniggered. I drew out my wand, aiming it at him. "Woah!"

"Maybe this will wipe that smile off your ugly faces!" I yelled, just about to chant my spell when Snape - of all people - came around the corner.

"Ah ms. Granger! Haha, what punishment shall it be...? detention, points off, Hmmm... such a decision!" he said delightedly.

"Well, she already has a detention, so..." Harry smirked. I nudged him.

"Ah, I see! Ten points from Gryffindoor then!" he chuckled, sweeping past on his midnight cloak. I glared at the two sinisterly, rolled my eyes then barged past them both and ran into detention. Professor McGonagall was standing behind her wooden desk and staring at the poor students who were sat opposite her.

"Ah, Ms. Granger! Please, take a seat." she sat me down at a desk next to- oh no- no! no! no! NOOOOO!!!!!!

She plonked me down right next to no other than the dreaded Draco Malfoy!!!

"Let's see how you do next to Draco, here." She smiled at me.

"Ah, professor, Erm... please! Not him.. I mean, like, it isn't the best combinatio-"

"Silence! No such thing! sit. now. no more words about it! Write 'I will not mess around during my lessons' fifty times please!" She said, tottering off to her desk once more. I sighed.

"Ugh, sat next to Granger! Don't worry, I'm as upset about it as you are - Minerva's a freak" He muttered.

"She is not!" I whispered as loudly as I could without anyone hearing.

"Well, figured you'd say that." he rolled his eyes.

"Don't be horrid!" I hissed. He just laughed. I sighed again, writing my lines.

"You actually write?" he stared at me.

"Yes." I said "am I not supposed to?"

"Duh, its detention, nobody actually writes there lines" he smiled, rolling his eyes again.

"ugh, shut up." I tried to say some cool comeback and make him totally shocked, I mean, I'm pretty sick of being the same old snotty geek kid who people only like because they can copy you on tests. But you know, I'm me, I can't think of a good comeback to save my life. So I just made do with 'shut up'. He caught my eye, I stared at him, slowly sitting up, never taking my eyes of him - He did the same, his bony fingers shaking.

"MALFOY, GRANGER, WORK PLEASE!" McGonagall shouted at us. We jumped, both facing our work again. I shivered, I had no idea what the heck that was, oh well, I had written my lines fifty times exactly and handed it in to professor.

"Excellent, Hermione, you may go." she said. I glanced once more at Malfoy, and left.

Okay, I'm sooo sorry that this was such a short chapter, but I was eager to start the story of so hopefully next chapter should be a little bit longer :) please vote, comment (tell me what you think of my new story!) thanks so much! :):):)
