Draco's POV

I stumbled into the Slytherin Common Room, laughing, my friends' right behind me. Sighing, I sat on the chair nearest to the fire. My friends and I sat there for some time before Goyle growled in frustration and said, "I'm bored what do you want to do?" I sighed; I did not want to do anything but relax.

"How about we make a little bet?" Blaise said, I glanced over at him with a raised eyebrow. How would a bet be fun? Unless…

"Draco, I bet that you couldn't snag a Gryffindor," Blaise said smirking,

I refrained myself from frowning, I knew he wanted me to make a fool out of myself but I would not give him that satisfaction of making me mad. I sighed and asked, "Zabini, you will have to be more specific if you want me to go through this silly little bet." I sneered at him

"The Gryffindor bookworm, Granger," Blaise said, looking at me

I looked at him in shock. He could not possibly suggest that I willingly talk to that mudblood. I sighed, I could not let him win, and I will show him that a Malfoy could get anything they wanted…even if it is a filthy …mudblood. I shudder at the thought of me talking to her…of all people.

"Fine, how long do I get?" I asked, glaring at him, he just smirked and replied, "You have until the end of seventh month which gives you five months. One hundred galleons say that you don't get her and if you do you have to dump her at the end of the graduation ceremony,"

I had to smile when I heard this. This bet does not sound so bad if I have an opportunity to hurt Granger at the end; however, it is the five-month tolerating her is what I am worried about.

"Deal," I said before I got up and started leaving them behind

Original POV

As soon as Draco was out of site, Zabini turned to the rest of the Slytherins who heard of the bet he said, "We mustn't let him win. We'll have to create a plan in case Granger really does accept his offer for a date." Zabini finished he did not want to lose a hundred galleons to a Malfoy.

"What are you planning Blaise" Pansy asked, eagerly leaning in to hear the plan

"I'll think of something," Zabini said, before he smirked and added, "I'm a Slytherin after all" They all laughed for they knew Blaise was the perfect model of what a Slytherin should be.

"Mmm…Let us first see how Draco will react when Granger says no the first time," Pansy said, laughing shrilly at the thought

Draco POV

I laid on my bed thinking on how to get Granger alone and so far the only thing I could think of is to just ask her but wouldn't that be…weird. I sighed I'll just have to wait until tomorrow and see how she reacts to me asking her out…'after all,' I thought smirking before I closed my eyes 'Who could resist a Malfoy'

End of Chapter
