Flirting with Danger

A/N I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. Please don't sue!

They finally arrived at Hogwarts without any more mishaps. The Sorting was long and as boring as usual though Hermione was able to enjoy it slightly.
The food was as wonderful as ever, she was starving and lunch seemed so long ago. Hermione piled her plate with lots of goodies and began to munch with an expression of pure bliss.
Soon the plates were cleared and everyone headed off to their rooms for a lovely sleep before the first day of classes.
Hermione woke up the next morning alert and refreshed and quickly got up and headed down to breakfast, accompanied by Harry and Ron.
Breakfast was an enjoyable affair with everyone laughing and discussing the adventures of their recent holidays.
Hermione glanced over at the Slytherin table unconsciously looking for a certain person.
Draco felt eyes on him and glanced up immediately meeting Hermiones gaze.
"What on earth is wrong with me?" Draco thought to himself as he broke eye contact and continued eating his breakfast.
On the other side of the room Hermione was thinking the same thing.
Harry had noticed Hermione staring and followed her gaze to find... Draco Malfoy!, and Malfoy was staring back at her... without even a hint of malice.
"Hermione?" Harry whispered.
Hermione jumped, slightly started before she regained composure and faced Harry.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to the Library with me because we have a free period first?" Harry asked.
"Yes, lets go," Hermione answered brightly and stood grabbing her back pack.
Harry stood and they headed out of the Great Hall.
They were walking down the hallway when Harry decided to finally speak.
"I know you like him," Harry stated quietly.
"I do not like Malfoy," Hermione snapped.
Harry laughed quietly at this.
"I didn't even need to say his name," Harry replied smirking.
"Drop it Harry," Hermione stated blushing.
"All I wanted to say is that I'll be here for you no matter what," Harry replied.
Hermione stopped and pulled Harrying into a hug.
"Thank you. I appreciate it but I am not going out with Malfoy," Hermione stated.
Harry nodded with a knowing look.
They continued on their way talking about the essay they would work on for Transfiguration.
The library was relatively deserted for a Monday Morning though people would probably arrive after breakfast.
They sat down at their usual table and got to work on their essays.
All too soon the first period was over and Harry headed off to Divination while Hermione headed off in the opposite direction to Ancient Runes.
She was turning left to go down a corridor when she had the unfortunate opportunity of banging into...
"Granger do you always insist on bumping into me. If you want my attention just say so," Draco Malfoy stated smirking.
"As if I need your attention Malfoy," Hermione snapped back heatedly.
"I think you like the attention I give you," Draco smirked back knowingly.
Hermione opened and closed her mouth a few times before recovering herself.
"In your dreams Malfoy," Hermione ground out, glaring menacingly at him.
Draco raised his eye brow and smirked.
"She's grown quite good looking... I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT!" Draco almost yelled the last part out as he thought to himself.
"Well Malfoy as much as I would love to stay and chat to you I'm going to be late for class," Hermione stated.
"See you later," Draco stated as he went on his way leaving Hermione shocked as she headed off to class.
"He is one strange sexy guy... I DID NOT JUST CALL MALFOY SEXY!" Hermione snapped to herself.
