I don't follow the events in the last two books. I try to keep the characters as close to the characters in the Harry Potter books as possible. I hope you'll enjoy it. Rated T just to be safe.
Please try to forgive me any grammar or spelling mistake I made. I'm Not English but I try to make as little mistakes as possible. I don't mind if you will correct me when I'm wrong. Also, I really appreciate people taking the time to read my story. Reviews are always welcome. I appreciate constructive criticism but I don't like insults. Keep it civil.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, The characters don't belong to me. Not even in my wildest dreams. Everything except the plot belongs to J.K. Rowling.
That's about enough of my talk. Let's get on to the actual story. Hope you have fun reading it!
Chapter one: Humiliation
"So Granger, what do you think of me?" Draco Malfoy asks her.
"You are a lazy, stupid, self-centered pig that can't do anything without the help of his father" She tells him. Draco looks a bit angry but he doesn't give up.
"How about my looks?"
"You're hot" It shoots out of her mouth before she realizes what she is saying. Draco and his friends Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson are laughing at the top of their longs. Harry and Ron are glaring at Hermione with their mouths dropped to the floor.
"You think he's h.. ugh! I can't even say it!" is all Ron can say and he shakes his head.
"I always knew she liked you Drakey" Pansy tells him.
"I know, it's hilarious! It was expectable of course, I mean look at me! I am hot!"
"You are Drakey!"
"Merlin that is just disgusting" Ron says pointing at the amused couple before him and Harry nods in agreement.
"How long have you felt that way?" Harry asks her trying not to sound too disgusted.
"Since I first saw him" she covers her mouth with her hands but it's too late. She said it and everyone had heard it clearly. Tears start to form in her eyes.
"What did you do to me?" she asks Draco, fighting against the tears.
"Just some truth serum. I made you say it out loud but trust me love, we all knew!" and the three of them burst out in laughter once more. Hermione's eyes are shooting fire.
"I will get you for this Malfoy! Just you wait!"
"I.. am.. so… scared!" He tells her in between laughs. The git is almost peeing in his pants.
Hermione can't stand it any longer and runs away, leaving her two best friends behind. She doesn't want to talk to them right now so she runs to the astronomy tower knowing she could never get the peace and quiet she needs so much in the Gryffindor common room. Hermioneneeds to be alone to plan her payback. Normally she doesn't approve of revenge. She tells Harry and Ron all the time that you sink to the other person's level by getting revenge and that makes you just as bad. But right now, revenge is all she can think of.
