Chapter Three: The Revised Bet

"Goodmorning Mudblood." Draco mentally slapped himself.

Yeah that's going to make her fall for him.

Hermione turned to him and pulled her bag strap up.

"Are you mocking me Malfoy?" She asked, her glare icy.

"I was just saying goodmoring you filthy little." Hermione never did hear the rest. She had walked away completely ignoring him.

He was taunting her.

He wanted her to grab the bait and stoop to his level.

Well she wasn't going to.

She was stronger.

"Oww." She mummbled rubbing her forehead.

"Mione! Are you okay?" Harry asked as he bent down to help her up. Hermione nodded.

She had run into Harry.

"Sorry about that." She said as they both walked down to breakfast.

"Its alright. So how was your night?"

"Quiet." She said laughing as she remembered all her other nights at Hogwarts the past 6 years and how they were filled with Lavenders sleep talking and Parvitis snores.

"How was the ferret?" Harry asked as the walked into the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table.

"Eh." Hermione shrugged.

"Normal I guess."

"Speak of the ferret devil himself." Hermione turned around in her seat and saw Malfoy walk into the Great Hall and sit with his group.

"How did it go?" Zabani asked Draco as he sat down.

"Easy as pie." Draco lied.

"Oh really? Well lets up the stakes then." Blaise said smirking. Draco shrugged and leaned back in his seat.

"Go for it."

"Okay, 500 Galleons says you cant make her fall for you before Christmas." Draco's eyes widened.

"But that's 4 months."

"Like you said, easy as Pie."

"Fine."

"Deal?"

"Deal.." They shook on it again.

"What do you think theyre doing?" Harry asked as Ron sat besides them.

"Who?" He asked.

"Malfoy." Harry responded.

"Probably betting on who hes going to get with next."

Oh how painstrickingly right Ron was.

Only they didn't know it was Hermione.
