We don't know each other.
Chapter 1; Third wants.
Disclaimer: I don't own nufin' but Jack Nomar.
Hi. This is a new story. The title is similar to the one by ciaosushi, but the stories aren't the same. R&R!
Draco sat at the sofa in the common room, wondering if the first year "brainiac" was done with his homework, yet. There was a new Slytherin named Jack Nomar. He was supposedly really smart. Draco wanted to test it. He said if Nomar did his homework, he could hang out with him. It didn't hurt that Nomar worshipped him. There was also no way in hell that Draco would hang out with a weasel of a first year.
He stood up and went over to where Jack was sitting and demanded, "You done, yet?" Nomar had a long face and it was kinda freaky looking so he called him "Headlong."
"Almost, hold on." Nomar scribbled something down and then handed Draco the papers.
"Wow." Draco was surprised. Nomar had managed to make his handwriting look exactly like Draco's. "You remind me of Granger."
"Who's that?"
"Never mind. Shut up."
"Wait, she's the know-it-all Gryffindor."
"Yeah. What's it to you?"
"Oh, nothing. She is hott, though."
"Lay off, Headlong." Draco surprised both of them. He hit Nomar in the head with the book. He was totally freaked out. What do I care about Granger? Draco thought.
"I guess this cancels our lunch date."
"Shove it. I'm not gay. And you're still doing my homework."
Draco walked into the dorm and flopped onto the bed.
What do I care about Granger? The thought kept circling around in his mind.
Finally an idea popped into his head. I don't care. It was just a freak thing. That's it. It was just a freak thing.
Draco sat up in bed. It was just a freak thing. He walked out of the Slytherin common room and up the stairs, out of the dungeons. It was just a freak thing. He walked into the great hall and sat down. A couple minutes later, Nomar sat down next to him, still rubbing his head. "You didn't have to hit me. Oh, look. Your girlfriend." Nomar pointed up.
Draco looked up as Granger walked into the hall. "Do you know nothing, Headlong? She's going out with Weasel. Either him or Pothead. Don't care."
"Whatever. You think I have a chance?"
"At having her as your babysitter? I'd say about a 12 chance. An 88 chance she won't even notice you. See there's this whole thing. It's called age group, and besides, there's another thing. It's an unspoken but very, very serious law. All Slytherins hate all Gryffindors. Got it?"
Nomar glared at Draco while he smiled smugly. "Whatever."
"I said, Got it!"
"Yes! I get it."
"Besides, I can't be bothered with her. I have more important matters, like N.E.W.T.S."
"Uh-huh."
"Shove it, Headlong."
After dinner, Draco was walking through the hall, heading to the dungeons, when Granger walked up, heading the other way.
Surprising both of them, ((He was making a bad habit of that)), he reached out and grabbed Hermione around the waist.
"What the-," Hermione started, but Draco cut her off.
"You wanna go out with me?"
"What! No!"
"Please?" Draco gave her the puppy dog look.
"What is with you? Don't think I didn't notice you staring at me all through dinner."
Draco let go, "Fine. Whatever you want."
Hermione was astounded. She was preparing for a fight. Usually, Draco would do anything to get the girl that he wanted. "Well….good." Did this mean that he didn't want her? Hermione had the sad thought that nobody wanted her. Harry was going out with Parvati, and Ron was going out with Lavender. She wanted a boyfriend. She wanted to fell wanted. Instead, to keep her rep, she huffed and walked off.
Draco went the other way. I just let her go. What is wrong with me? Suddenly he whipped around.
"Hermione!" he called.
She started running towards the Gryffindor common room. "Wait!" He called.
She stopped. She had was somewhat glad. She couldn't let anyone know she felt this way. She had to stay, well, Hermione. She turned around. "WHAT?"
"Um, please?"
"Please, what?"
"Don't play coy with me. Please go out with me."
"Why?"
"I don't know! I like you?" he offered.
"Not good enough."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, that's not a good enough reason."
"What do you wanna hear?"
"I wanna know this isn't a bet. I wanna know this isn't just because someone else wants me and you don't like them." Draco cringed at these words. "Hah! I knew it!" Hermione had seen his reaction. She was glad she didn't have to say her third want. "Someone else wants me and you're just gonna beat them to it!"
"He's a first year!"
"Oh. Well, then. I'll think about it."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
Draco turned and went back to the Slytherin common room and Hermione went to the Gryffindor common room. She saw Ginny sitting there. "Guess what?" she blurted out.
"What?"
"I might be going out with Draco."
Ron was sitting across the room and heard this. He whipped his head up from his chess game and just stared at Hermione in disbelief. "But, she's mine." He mumbled under his breath.
R&R! Please. I need reviews to write more.
