Chapter 2 An Alliance

Hermione woke up quite early the next day. She felt a sharp pain in her head that eventually faded into nothingness. She recalled yesterday's events vividly. She grinned to herself.

"Granger?" Blaise Zabini approached her at the Gryffindor table.

Hermione looked curiously at him. Harry and Ron readied their selves if ever the Slytherin git decides to hex Hermione. All Slytherins were gits. Well, except for one, at least for Ron.

"What is it Zabini?" Hermione said cautiously. She wanted to bite his head off but she realized that it would be too gross to taste his flesh. She decided to at least let Fangs do it for her.

"Well, we…er…um…" he stuttered nervously. Clearly all of the student's attention was turned to the Slytherin who walked near the Gryffindor table. It wasn't everyday you get to see action after all.

"Spit it out!" Ron said impatiently, obviously he too wanted to know what the git came for.

"Well, what Blaise is trying to say is that…we need your help." Theo piped in seeing as Blaise suddenly went dumb and forgot how to speak coherent sentences.

At first they thought that Hermione was going to laugh maniacally and point at their faces saying that it was ridiculous and taunt them. They really thought that she was going to say,

"This is hilarious! Slytherins asking for my mighty help! What makes you think that I'd help you? You must be real idiots!"

But that wasn't what really came out. She was just there sitting calmly nodding before actually speaking. "Sure, with what?"

Jaws dropped and pools of saliva were formed on tables. People couldn't believe what they just heard! Hermione Granger had just agreed to help two Slytherins! Merlin the world was really going crazy, starting with the smartest witch of the 7th years.

Hermione smiled to herself recalling every detail they talked about after that. They had decided to talk it over at the Head's tower to avoid nosy eavesdroppers from hearing. Sadly for Harry, Ron and Ginny, they weren't invited in the discussion.

Hermione almost laughed her head off when they told her that Malfoy was the one needing her help. She wanted to fall off her chair, her clean chair to be exact, hearing that Malfoy had girl problems.

She giggled contentedly at the conditions that she laid in front of them. She remembered her words as if she had spoken it just now.

"Ok, I agree to this but I have my conditions too." She said with a triumphant smirk on her face that Draco didn't like

"Go ahead then." Draco rolled his eyes.

"First of all, you and your Slytherin git friends would lay off on me and my friends." she started. The three boys' jaw dropped. "Secondly, you would never ever, call me a mudblood again. You would never ever tease my friends and me, call us names, and make fun of our names. In fact, you will never even have to interact with us! It'll do us good."

The boys didn't stop gawking at her though, besides, she still wasn't finished. "You'll also never to touch my things, or my friend's things. And never ever dare stain my chair again! And of course, there is this one request that Harry and Ron said a while ago."

"Merlin it's not yet done?" Draco said bewilderedly.

"Don't worry, it's ending." Theo whispered.

"You and all of your cronies would be admitting your faults and say sorry to everyone at the end of the school year. And since I'm nice, I'll only make you do it if plans succeed." She smiled sweetly. Oh how she may smile sweetly but what came out from her mouth wasn't.

"Merlin and to think that you're actually nice? These conditions are all unbelievable! It's blackmail!" Draco said his voice rose.

Hermione approached him and leveled her face to his. "No honey, it's called Hermione Granger." She patted his face and left him with his mouth hanging open.

Hermione laughed maniacally before heading for the bathroom and taking a warm hot bath.

"Hermione you didn't?" Ginny Weasley couldn't believe her ears when Hermione just told her the news about Malfoy.

"Sure did." Hermione buttered the piece of bread in her hand.

"This is awesome! Finally Malfoy would get his ass away from us!" Ginny said excitedly. "Though, it would be saddening that there's no more hottie following our every move."

Hermione gasped at her young friend. "Ginny! You're with Harry!"

"Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that Malfoy's hot." She rolled her eyes and took a pear from the fruit bowl next to her.

"Hey! I was painting that." A younger boy said, his face puffed up amusingly.

"Isn't it a bit old to paint fruits? You should be painting naked people for Merlin's sake!" Ginny exclaimed before chuckling at the distraught face of the boy.

"Ginny! He's only a first year for Merlin's sake!" Hermione said but she too was laughing.

"Ah whatever." Ginny rolled her eyes and glanced at the other tables.

"But, he can't be that hot." Hermione said coolly.

"Who's hot?" Harry sat beside Ginny before capturing her lips with his.

"Oh get a broom closet!" Ron muttered.

"What's gotten into you?" Hermione asked, as Ron wasn't currently stuffing his face with food. It was odd, really odd. "

Harry stopped kissing Ginny by then and joined the conversation. "The question is what he wasn't able to get into." Harry grinned roguishly at Ron and wiggled his eyebrows. "Right Ron?"

"Oh shut up!" Ron said a pained expression on his face. "Don't get me started Harry."

"What's this about?" Hermione was still clueless of the fact that Ron wasn't able to score the other night with Parkinson.

"Ginny, love kindly interpret to the smart one." Harry's grin never left his face.

Ginny inched closer to Hermione and whispered something. At once, Hermione's face was all red and she looked at Harry with disgust.

"That's just gross." Hermione said making a face.

"Come on Hermione, soon you'll understand that a female can never live without a male and vice versa. One word Granger. It's called urges." Harry said knowingly.

"Uh, whatever." She rolled her eyes and took a bite on another bread.

"I just don't understand! She makes it look like she's ready!" Ron said helplessly.

"Ron, dearie, you have to understand that not because a girl advances on you doesn't mean that she wants to make love! It's a matter of patience and understanding!" Ginny said knowingly.

"Yeah, you seem to know everything and yet the two of you haven't done it yet." Ron said grumpily.

Harry and Ginny suddenly blushed and turned away. Hermione rolled her eyes and gathered her things. "That's it, I don't want to hear any more of this rubbish. I'm going to the library." Hermione announced.

"As if anything's new, but Hermione be careful though! You might encounter a dog that humps every moving creature." Ginny said dramatically. Hermione's face flushed as people started to look and laugh at her way.
