Hermione POV

"Psssssst," said a voice from behind me.

"Psssssst, Hermione," he said again.

"What do you want," I said, spinning around, and glaring at the blonde boy.

"Snape's coming," he said smirking.

I looked forward and saw the greasy haired, longed nosed, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor glaring at me with his arms across his chest.

"Miss Granger, is there something you would like to share with the whole class," he said with his eyebrows raised.

"No sir" I said meekly, now ashamed of my outburst.

"Well there's something I want to share with the whole class, detention 6:00 tonight you'll be serving it with me," he said with a sneer. He spun on his heal, and stalked back to his desk. I turned back around and glared at the blonde boy that got me in trouble.

"Are you happy now," I asked him.

"Exceedingly so," he said with a smirk.

I gave him one more glare, and faced forward again.

Once class was over, I ran out of the room as fast as I could.

(5:30 pm)

"I have detention, I'll catch up with you later," I said to my small group of friends.

I slowly made my way down to the dungeons. I stopped a little ways away from the door, not believing my luck.

"Malfoy? What the hell are you doing here?" I half yelled.

The blonde turned around, and studied me for a split second, then with a smirk he said "Well hello to you to."

"What are you doing here Malfoy," I said again.

He sighed, and said "Sprout gave me detention," he smirked "and I just like to make your life hell."

"Well you do a pretty good job," I said under my breath.

Apparently he heard me, because he gave me another smirk.

I heard foot steeps coming towards us, and guessed it was the professor.

I didn't turn around to check considering I was having a glaring contest with Malfoy.

Once he opened the door, and let us in, he said "now because I have no work for you to do. I'm going to take your wands and leave you here. I have more important things to do then watch your detention."

So with that, he took our wands, and locked us in.

For the first thirty minutes we were completely silent. Then Malfoy had to go and ruin that he started to snoop through Snape's desk.

"You shouldn't be doing that," I said to him.

He closed the drawer, then looked at me, "then what do you suggest we do." he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Alright, since you have no idea, I'll continue what I'm doing," he said.

After he went through about two drawers, he came to a sticky one, when he finally got it open he jerked it too fast, and all the papers fell out. I let out a sigh, and decided to help him.

I walked towards him ignoring his gaze.

I bent down, and started to pick to the papers. I looked over at Malfoy and he raised his eyebrow at me, and I just shrugged. Once I finished picking them all up, I handed him the papers. He put then back into the desk, and then held out a hand to help me up. I took it, and electricity shot up my arm, he gently pulled me up.

When I was standing once more, I noticed he was really close. I started to step away, but I hit a wall, and he still came closer to me. He lent in and kept contact with my eyes at all times.

"I really like you Hermione," he said in a soft voice.

"Did you know that?"

I didn't say anything.

"Would you like me to prove it to you," he said

He took one of his hands and gently tucked my hair behind my ear. He gave me a half smile and...

A/N I think this was a bad place to end it... :)
