"Ouch... That hurt," Draco whispered to himself whilst rubbing his cheek after Granger had left the library. Thumping his blond head down on top of the table Draco grimaced, 'why did I have to laugh?; she was my last resort.' Counting to ten the Slytherin decided that he wasn't ready to give up just yet.
Draco pushed his seat back and ran out of the library, hoping that Granger hadn't gone far and determined to make her; his girlfriend. He ran down the stone hall that lead away from the bookworms favorite haunt, looking left and right down side corridors for the bushy haired girl, finally spotting her on the grand staircase.
"Granger!" Draco called out as he ran towards her, taking two steps at a time up the stairs and not stopping until he was right behind her on the middle of the section that was about to move.
As Hermione heard her surname being called she inwardly groaned, recognizing the voice instantly. 'Why won't he just leave me alone?' She thought as she turned round and come across a red faced Malfoy who was very much out of breath.
"Look Malfoy," she began, "you've had your laugh, now leave me alone and go torment some first year or something." She took a step backwards, before Malfoy had a chance to reply, ready to escape to Gryffindor Tower, but the Slytherin boy grabbed her wrist, making retreat impossible.
Catching his breath Draco ignored what Granger had said and swallowed his pride once again. "Granger, I am... Sorry about laughing at you and I know that I can be a… dick but I really do need your help with something that only you can do," he confessed as the stairs finished changing.
Granger clearly didn't know what to say and losing her patience quickly when he wouldn't tell her what he wanted her help with she began snapping at him, sounding more like a Slytherin than a Gryff.
"Before I tell you anything I want you to know that I am willing to do whatever you want if you do this for me," Draco informed her, hoping that it would convince the Head Girl to help.
"Whatever I want… huh? It must be important," she stated, raising an eyebrow with curiosity.
"I know that I'm going to regret this later, but yes Granger, anything you want," Draco confirmed, looking her up and down and thinking that Granger didn't look too bad wearing her blue Muggle skinny jeans and Viktor Krum's Bulgarian National Quidditch Team jersey with black flats.
Granger was clearly loving every minute of his weakness and asked him in a silly superior voice, "Well... What can the Great Hermione Granger do for you Mr. Malfoy?"
He fought back a sneer and told himself that Granger would have to do, even if she was a know-it-all, Gryffindor, Mudblood; he would take what he could get. He didn't manage to hold in the scowl however as he told her, "I was dating Astoria Greengrass as you might know," Draco paused, "but I broke it off with her a few months back."
"Oh yeah," Hermione said, remembering when Ginny had told her about the pair dating and then breaking up seven months ago.
"Yeah, well when we were dating Astoria became very jealous and overly possessive, so I broke up with her; then she went all crazy stalker on me. She follows me around and if she isn't then she has one of her Slytherin girlfriends keep their eye on me. Greengrass even went as far as to break into our common room (for Merlin knows what) and I just can't take it anymore: she's gone mad. I can't get near any girl without her or her friends, with the exception of Pansy, hexing them all the time," Draco frustratingly told her, almost ready to pull his hair out after not getting laid for the past seven months.
"So that's why you're asking me to be your girlfriend, so Greengrass and her friends will back off?" Granger questioned and he nodded. "But why not ask Parkinson to do the favor instead?"
"Trust me Granger I've already asked..." Draco paused to rephrase his words. "No! … I begged Pansy to do it, but she says that she's already seeing someone, but won't tell me who the git is so that I can't hex him."
Hermione smirked slightly, thinking: 'I know something you don't know,' in a singsong voice.
Not catching Granger's smirk Draco continued talking. "I even asked Lovegood before asking you, but she said no because she doesn't like the taste of vanilla and she really was a chocolate girl, whatever that means." He thought back to when he had walked to the lake and sat down next to Loony so that he could ask her to be his girlfriend, while she was eating a pile of chocolate frogs.
"You, The Draco Malfoy, asked Luna Lovegood out," Hermione teased as she began to giggle, thinking about what Malfoy dating Luna would have been like. Way too weird, she thought as she watched Malfoy glare at her for laughing at him, but she did stop after a minute, which was nice of her because the image had a terms worth of giggles in it.
"What..." She took a breath then continued, "What are the rules if I agree to help you Malfoy?"
Malfoy smiled as he told her, "We have to act like a real couple not just in front of the Slytherins, I mean everyone. This means we have to be all lovey dovey."
"So you have to walk me to class like a real boyfriend, hold my hand and..." Hermione paused then said: "kiss."
"Yes Granger, we would have to do all of the boyfriend and girlfriend crap and that means me walking you to class, holding your hand and kissing you—but don't worry: I'm a great kisser," Malfoy reassured her, blowing her an example.
"If I agree... How long do we have to pretend to be 'dating', and can I tell Harry and Ron about this?" Hermione asked, gesturing a hand towards Malfoy and then herself.
"If you agree then we date for as long as it takes to get it through to Astoria's thick head that I am not hers anymore and that she should leave me the hell alone," Malfoy said, "and as for Potter and Weasley, I don't care if you tell them as long as they can keep their big mouths shut."
Hermione bit her lip as she pondered what Malfoy had just said. "I get whatever I want if I pretend to be your girlfriend right?" the Gryffindor asked as she looked over Malfoy's shoulder and watched the two Greengrass sisters walk up the same stairs that they were on, coming towards them with Millicent Bulstrode right behind them.
"Like I said before, whatever you want Granger. Now do we have a deal?" Malfoy said, holding out his hand to seal the agreement.
Hermione smirked as she thought that it could be a little fun to get whatever she wanted from the Slytherin Prince himself. She looked at the Head Boy's face as he waited for her answer and couldn't believe that she was about to help him.
Taking a step down and knocking his hand away she grabbed a fistful of his black shirt and, taking him by surprise, watched his grey eyes widen.
"What are you doing Granger?" Malfoy snarled, stiffing up as he looked up into her brown eyes.
"My name is Hermione," she whispered, brushing over his lips and then putting on her best innocent smile.
"Hermione", Draco whispered back, feeling her hot breath on his lips as his grey orbs unconsciously started to close.
Having Malfoy, no, Draco, right where she wanted him, Hermione licked her lips, making her tongue touch Draco's soft pink lips as well. "I'm holding you to your word Draco, "she said seductively, filling up the empty space between them. And then she kissed him.
Can anyone guess who Pansy might be dating?
What should I make Draco do for Hermione? Remember it's WHATEVER Hermione's wants.
PLEASE REVIEW AND ANSWER MY TWO QUESTIONS.
