Hermione waited patiently, her fingers drumming against the table where she sat, waiting for a lesson to end. She drummed and drummed and drummed. So much that even the person beside her moved away slightly, feeling the dark aura around her. Hermione was angry, no not angry, annoyed more. Perhaps it was the fact the Pansy didn't say everything that there is to know and annoyed because she didn't see Draco since the early morning but she felt him. He was too feeling annoyed but triumph swept her body too. She wondered what did he do now.When the lesson finally ended, Hermione wasted no time and left quickly but slowed down when she got closer to two boys walking in front of her. "Did you hear that Weasley got knocked down today ?" Her interest was piqued. "Yeah, Zabini knocked him straight down, he's in bed right know, his leg and arm broken, or so my sister told me." The shorter boy said, they looked like they tried to whisper but she could clearly hear everything they were saying. "She told me that he hasn't stopped screaming and cursing. He's quite spoiled lad isn't he ?"Merlin, what a wanker, my parents don't believe that he and Potter will change anything in Ministry." The taller one, with lighter skin but darker hair said, shrugging. "Don't tell anyone but I think that they are just two power-seeking hero wannabes, showing off their riches." They both nodded their heads. "Not like, Granger, she's basically un-noticed, like a real superhero that I've read about in muggle books." Hermione was surprised to say the least and she almost tripped, not expecting that at all. "Yeah, she looks even happier without those two, I bet she was the brain of all their missions, without her they would be nothing, we wouldn't even be alive." He laughed a little but it wasn't a mocking laugh, more desperate and sad. "Maybe she could run for the Minister's position." Once again they both agreed, nodding their head and then wondered off, talking about something of importance to them. Hermione stood there, slightly shocked and with her mouth slightly agape. Things were catching up to her faster than she thought. Fixing her posture, she moved again but now slower. Minister ?"Hermione !" She heard behind her, a voice she expected to find. She halted once again, and turned to greet Pansy. She ran up to Hermione, a small smile on her face. Her eyes didn't look so sad anymore which was a good thing, she supposed but now they filled with worry. "You won't believe who asked me to the ball-" She stopped, noticing the hard look Hermione directed at her. "What's wrong ? Why do you look like you're-" "Come with me." Hermione said, her demanding voice interrupting Pansy. The look in her eyes sent shivers down Pansy's spine. She hurried to follow, without any more words spoken.
