Calling all Harry Potter Fans
And Draco warns the trio to get Hermione to safety in Goblet of fire at the part when death eaters are attacking people at the quidditch world cup
So, logic dictates that Draco must have had feelings for Hermione but could never act on them, leaving him no choice but to be horrible to her to cover his forbidden longings
And, in the chamber of secrets we see draco ripping a page out of a book in the scene where Harry goes to get his new Defense against the dark arts textbooks. In that same movie/ book Hermione's petrified body is discovered holding a ripped page. Now does Hermione granger strike you as the type as to mercilessly rip out pages?
Ergo, it was DRACO that must have given her the page. How he did it we may never know, but the evidence that he had feelings for her is there
He rarely targets Hermione, he usually aims his venom at Harry and Ron. Maybe he was reluctant to antagonize her.
