Kissing A Green and Silver Serpent
"Detention Granger!" Said Draco very slowly, as if he were enjoying every syllable he pronounced, making his drooling voice even more disgusting.
"Yes, yes, whatever Draco. You are a Prefect, you can't give detention remember?" Hermione said, as if she were speaking to a 5-year boy "Is it too hard for you to remember your duties? If it is, I can go to Dumbledore and ask him to give the badge to someone else".
"That's where you are wrong Granger; I have a note here from Professor Snape, I imagine you can read, inform yourself." His grin wider than ever "Meet me tonight at 10 in Professor's Snape office, Oh God, I'm going to take pleasure in this"
He left, leaving Harry, Hermione and Ron standing in the middle of the Great Hall, gaping open mouthed at the piece of paper that read:
I PROFESSOR S. SNAPE, HEREBY NAME D. MALFOY, MY ASSISTANT DURING MY ABSENCE. HE SHALL TAKE CARE OF ALL MY BUSINESS AND HAS THE CAPACITY TO TAKE POINTS FROM ANY HOUSE AND GIVE DETENTION TO ANYONE HE THINKS DESERVES IT.
S. SNAPE
"This can't be happening" Hermione said.
"I'm going to kill Snape, I swear I will!" Harry said clenching the note in his fist "We'll go to Dumbledore. Hermione you can't spend the night at Malfoy's mercy"
"Mmmm Harry, if we murder Malfoy instead of Snape we kill two birds with one stone. We save Hermione and do the entire world a favor," Ron pointed out as they started to make their way to Gryffindor's Common Room.
For the first time in a long time Hermione didn't tell her friends off for wishing to kill someone. She herself hoped Malfoy would have a mortal accident. But even with the prospect of a night with her worst enemy in a dungeon, she didn't regret slapping him; nobody insulted Dumbledore in her present without receiving what he deserved.

"What is humiliating" Hermione thought as she slowly made her way down to the dungeons "it's that I fell into his trap. He was provoking us." But at least it had been her that had reacted. Harry or Ron locked in a room alone with Malfoy, which would no doubt end up in catastrophe.
Knock Knock. "Come in Granger" that disgusting, drooling, voice said from behind the door. Hermione opened the door slowly, taking a deep breath. The office was as horrible and creepy as ever, but at least Malfoy had lit a couple of candles here and there.
"He looks kind of attractive under this light- human, human, I meant to say human" Hermione though to herself.
But those thought disappeared immediately as Draco opened his mouth. "Well we both know why you are here, I hope after tonight you learn to respect your superiors, mud" He had almost said Mudblood, but something stopped him. He wasn't sure what that had been, and that made him uneasy.
Hermione had to suppress the urge to slap him again, she was determined to show him that his words, and him, meant nothing to her. Unless of course he said something about the people she cared about, but if that happened, she already knew how to react. So instead of hitting him she said matter of factly "What I'm supposed to do?"
"Kiss me". He was more surprised than her at his words. "Right, I said that only to see the look on her face, didn't I. DIDN'T I??" He thought desperately. Yes, that one had to be the reason; he couldn't bare the idea of kissing the school biggest bookworm.
"Relax Granger, it's just a joke as if I'd lower myself to letting you kiss me. You'll have to. let me think. what would you detest more than anything in the world?"
"Kissing you of course, I'd rather kiss Lord Voldemort's snake" She replied acidly.
"Brave, aren't we? Saying the Dark Lord's name, challenging the man in power. Let's teach you a lesson. You say you'd like to kiss a serpent?? There you go. Serpentsoria" A green and silver serpent appeared on top of Snape's desk.
"OK, if that what I have to do go leave this place." She bent down, in front of Draco's gaping face, and kissed the snake's head.
Draco was speechless, he definitely hadn't seen that coming, of course he didn't heard Hermione muttering a spell to make her lips tactless; he was astonished by her bravery, or was it hatred, did she hate him so much to kiss a snake just to upset him? Because hate was the only reason why a girl would kiss a snake as far a he knew.
"Can I go now?" She said triumphantly. She obviously knew what was going on inside Draco's head and overjoyed about it, but she didn't know how he had felt when he smelt her perfume only moments before.
"Yes, whatever Granger.just.uh.watch your step, I'll be watching you" He declared, trying sound threatening, but failing horribly.

That night, they both went to bed thinking about the other, differently, but about the other none the less.
She felt a sort of self-righteous satisfaction; she had showed him that nobody messed with Hermione Granger. Turning around in bed, she was positively glowing with pride. But little did she know that her smile was really due to another reason, and only realized what it was when she remembered the way he looked that night.
He felt humiliated; a mudblood had gotten the best of him. Oh, only God knew how much he detested Granger. "But she'll know it soon; I'm going to take revenge for this". Yet, the same thing that had prevented him from calling Hermione a mudblood back at Snape's office made him shiver when he remembered the way her hair smelled and her eyes shined.
