What's In a Name?

The red headed witch rolled her eyes and shook her head. They were at it again. This time it was about nicknames. Specifically, it was the curly haired witch's dislike for any of the nicknames. She glanced over at her brother and boyfriend and noticed they were trying to not laugh outright because they knew it would just piss off their friend.

The argument grew louder when Draco called the curly brunette Hermy. She snarled at him and said, "You ever want to get into my bed again, you will never utter that vile nickname at me!" She narrowed her eyes at Ron and Harry, knowing they were practically dying from keeping their mirth to themselves.

The Slytherin just smiled at his girlfriend. "So you probably won't approve of Herms either?" He answered, giving her a wink.

At that point, Ron snorted at the blonde. He was almost impressed with Draco's ability to continue despite knowing Hermione's quick temper. "Y'know Mione, lots of people have nicknames. No need to bite his head off because of it." He teased.

Hermione whipped her head around and glared at the male Weasley. "Don't call me that, Ronald!" She scolded. "Mione sounds like you can't say my full name."

Ron quickly stopped smiling and looked down at the floor and mumbled, "Sorry Hermione." This caused his sister and Harry to both snicker at him being told off from their friend.

At this point, even Draco was having a hard time to keep from laughing. He loved getting his witch riled up. She was so sexy when she was angry. "Surely there is nothing wrong with Mya? I think that is a totally acceptable nickname." He announced.

Hermione threw a pillow off the couch at him which he caught. Damn seeker skills, she thought. "No. No Mya or Mia or Mione. No to Herms or Hermy, which are both horrendous. No shortened versions of my name. My full name is just fine, thank you very much." The brunette witch snapped at the occupants in the Head's common room. She placed her hands on her hip and waited for her boyfriend to respond.

Draco sighed in defeat. He didn't want to get her so mad that she really kept him out of her bedroom. "Fine, you win. I'll just fucking call you Granger."

Hermione smiled and sat down on his lap and hugged him. "I can live with that. Thank you, Drakie-poo."

Ron, Harry, and Ginny fell onto the floor laughing.
