Title: Please?
Penname: Captain of L'Emeraude
Summary: Just how magical is 'the magic word'? Bad summary but I like to think that the story is OK.

Please?
"Well, mudblood? No witty response?" The blonde Slytherin smirks at the curly haired Gryffyndor and her two seething friends. "Finally! The amazing know-it-all Granger doesn't have an answer!"
Harry and Ron grab Hermione by the arms. "Come on 'Mione, lets go." She shakes her head violently "No." She turns back to Malfoy and he sneers "What? You'd rather stay here with me than be with these two freaks? I guess I can understand that, but if you think I would let you even be seen with me you've got another think coming."
She lifts her head up and brown tear-filled eyes connect with silver. "I want this to stop, Draco, please?" She hears a scoff and turns around to glare at her friends "Come on, Mione, do you really think that 'please' will do anything? Wait! What did you call him?"
She just turns her back on them and takes a step towards the Slytherin. "Are you sure?" He gazes into her eyes questioningly and she nods. A grin erupts on his face, not a sneer, but an actual grin. "In that case.." He steps up to her and in one graceful, practiced, motion picks her up and kisses her.
Harry and Ron recover from the shock of Malfoy's quick motion and start to yell when they are left speechless by the sight of their friend kissing him back in earnest. When Draco lifts his head up for air, he takes a swift glance around the room. Hermione can't see much of what is going on but the blonde's eyes show surprise quickly transformed into amusement.
Her face scrunches up in suspicion and starts to say something. Taking advantage of the witch in his arms and her recently opened mouth, Malfoy takes this opportunity to silence any accusations she might have been about to hurl at him.Hermione kisses him back in earnest and all suspicions leave her mind as she concentrates on snogging the life out of the man holding her.
Suddenly she becomes aware of loud gasps and whispers from behind her. She pushes herself away from Draco and jumps out of his arms, whirling around to see the entire student body entering the Great Hall for dinner. Her hand goes to her mouth and everyone else's jaws go to the floor.
Finally some dumstruck Ravenclaw yells out "Hermione Granger?!" and suddenly everyone is yelling and cursing. She turns back to glare at Draco. "You knew everyone was coming in didn't you?!"
He just smiles at the furious witch. "You said you wanted the secrecy to stop, didn't you? I figured this would be as good of way as any to let everyone know." She just glares at him "A warning would have been nice!"
He smirks "You didn't bother giving Potter and Weasly any warnings. Look at them!" Her friends were still standing a few meters away with their mouths open and their eyes wide.
"Oh" she mutters slightly subdued. But still, only slightly. She turns back to Draco "But it's not the same thing! You're supposed to warn me! I mean, You've been my bloody boyfriend for a year now! Don't you think we should talk things over before you going around announcing our relationship to the entire school?"
He grins at her "Actually, my dear, I only kissed you. You're the one who announced it to everyone." Her face pales to the same shade as her boyfriend's, whiter than parchment. "Oh" He smirks. "Oh get that smug look off your face before I take it off" She growls and he continues smirking.
"And how to you plan to remove my smirk, dearest?" She grins, a maliciously gleeful look in her eyes. "Like this." And with the entire student body and half the staff watching, Hermione Granger kisses her boyfriend.
