A/N: This is not an entirely fictional story. My friend and I got into a similar situation involving our drama teacher and it was the most hilariously embarrassing moment of my entire life!
"Draco," Hermione Granger whispered angrily to her Transfiguration partner as he continued to run his index finger over the spine of every book in each aisle, "we're supposed to be doing research for our final project, not looking for books with unusual titles. Get over here this instant!"
Draco Malfoy rolled his eyes. "Listen, Hermione, we've been at this for a really long time; why don't we take a short break and then start fresh?"
Hermione let out a defeated sigh. "Fine, we'll mess around for twenty minutes, but when time is up its right back to studying."
"You will not regret this, Hermione!" Draco practically yelled in delight as he took Hermione by the hand and pulled her out of her cushy chair and down the nearest aisle of books.
"What are we looking for?" Hermione asked as she carefully scanned a shelf of self help books.
"Anything funny," Draco said looking up at her from his seat on the floor.
"Listen to this, 'Beautiful people aren't born, they're made. Become on of us by following these simple tips...' This hasn't been checked out since 1863!"
Draco yawned. "Self help is boring," he said, ignoring her quote completely, "let's go to the next aisle."
Several hour passed, and Hermione and Draco could still be found scouring the library and rolling on the floor with laughter.
"JACKPOT!," Draco shouted across the vast room to Hermione. She ran to see what he had discovered amongst the aged tombs that she'd poured over for the last seven years. What lay in Draco's hand was the last thing she'd expected: The Joys of Parenthood.
Hermione cracked an enormous smile and let out a wicked cackle that did not seem to fit her. She snagged the book from his hand and opened the front flap.
"What are you looking at?" Draco asked.
"I'm seeing who's checked it out," Hermione responded holding up a square of parchment with several names scrawled in cramped, nearly illegible, penmanship. She stood up to show Draco that it'd only been returned last week by Hannah Abbot, but paled when she was met by the face of none other than her own Head of House, Professor McGonagall. Draco was standing between them, completely oblivious to the teacher's sudden appearance behind him.
McGonagall and Hermione share the same horrified grimace as the professor said, "I've been informed that the two of you have missed every class today after mine and I came down here to have a discussion about that with you, but it seems that you may need another talk entirely..."
A/N: I love reviews....hint hint!
