Draco watched with his eyes narrowed as Hermione Granger came running into the great hall. Her cheeks were flushed pink from the cold and exertion of running. Her brown eyes sparkled with laughter and mischief and her fly-away brown curls were swept up into a ponytail. She looked stunning, happy, carefree and perfect but Draco wouldn't allow himself to see these things. No to him she was ugly, miserable and a mudblood! He held on to this belief even though it was obvious she had become the most sought after girl in Hogwarts and the most precious thing about it was that she didn't even realise it. Her two bodyguards saw off anyone who looked twice at her and she was completely oblivious to all of it! 'Speaking of her two body guards' Draco thought sourly looking down at his plate as two boys came running in after the girl. Harry was in the lead hiding something behind his back, he was quite tall now with strong muscles from all the Quidditch training he was doing and most girls swooned when they saw him coming. The last of the famous trio came in also with something behind his back and a wide grin. Ron wasn't lanky any more but seemed completely proportionate because he too was on the Gryffindor team and was now quite a formidable sight. However, Draco knew Weasley was just the same as he had been in their first year: shy, quick tempered and always fast to defend his friends. Especially Hermione. A shriek brought Draco out of his ponderings and he glanced with the utmost disdain over at Potter, Weasley and Granger. The two boys had advanced on Hermione and brought their hands out from behind their backs. They both had two dripping, icy snowballs and as one they lifted them above her head.

"Give up?" Harry grinned.

She laughed nervously "Never!"

"Well, alright then!" Ron looked at Harry, "we warned her." He said solemnly.

"We did." Harry agreed and then they both dropped their bundles of snow. Hermione shrieked again and managed to fend most of it off though she still ended up soaked.

"Right, that's it." She yelled and dived at Harry, knocking him off his feet, and tickling him mercilessly.

All three broke into howls of laughter and Ron began to pull Hermione off his friend as Harry was crying out desperately for help.

"Oh you want some too do you?" Hermione twisted in the red heads grip and began to tickle him too. Soon all three were rolling around on the floor of the great hall becoming absolutely hysterical with laughter and not noticing that quite a crowd was gathering around them Draco sighed and got to his feet. As their arch nemesis he supposed it was up to him to bring them back to their senses. He strolled over to them and aimed a kick at Weasleys knee, unfortunately just as his foot drew back Ron rolled over and Draco ended up booting Hermione in the stomach. She gave a squeak of pain and glared up at him, hatred filling her sparkling eyes. All good humour was lost immediately as Ron leapt to his feet in front of Draco and Harry gently helped Hermione up behind him. Draco acted as if it had been the mudblood he was aiming for all along and Ron looked livid.

"Don't look at her!" he hissed warningly. Draco wasn't in the least bit frightened, though his common sense told him he should be. After all Ron was approaching 6 ft rapidly and was very strong.

"I'll do whatever I want Weasley." Draco smirked then glanced over at Hermione who was surveying him as if he was a beetle, "Your little mudblood girlfriend is becoming rather attractive, Weasley, perhaps you could set her up with people for money I know how desperately you need it, Crabbe and Goyle would be takers. I can see it now: 'Mudblood for loan or hire' it would be…" but Draco was cut off as Ron gripped him around the throat and hoisted him against the wall.

"If you ever…" he began but there was a sudden tugging on his arm and Hermione's white face appeared beside him.

"Ron, Professor McGonagall is coming."

Ron released Draco reluctantly and went back over to Harry. Hermione turned to Draco and kneed him hard in a very sensitive place (AN you know where. Very sensitive thing that only males have!)  

"If you ever" she hissed into his ear as he doubled over in pain, "talk about me like that again I'll…" she broke off and Draco looked at her with a smirk despite his discomfort.

"You'll what?" he sneered.

"She'll call us." Harry said quietly coming up behind Hermione.

"And we'll kill you." Ron finished then they turned away and walked up the staircase towards the Gryffindor dormitories.
