More Disaster, a Plane Ride, and 20 Questions
Recap:
"You know, I think I'll stay." He smirked
She would have let him except she was wearing a towel and couldn't exactly change with him standing right there.
"Fine. Then turn around."
"I don't think I will" He replied smirking again. She glared. What to do. What to do.
"Oh and just so you know Granger, you can't lock any door against me. My dad's idea so don't go mad on me."
"I don't care! Just get out!" she cried now really frustrated.
"On one condition."
"What?"
"You have to kiss me."
"Gross!! No way will I do that."
"Fine, but in the end, everything will still be the same."
Hermione looked at her clock. OMG! It was only 8:00 a.m. and she had already been put through hell.
What am I being punished for? She thought desperately. She turned around and saw Malfoy leaning in the door.
"What do you want now?" She snapped
"My, my. You do ask a lot of questions, don't you" he smirked like usual
"What do you want?" She repeated
"Your mom told me to come get you. We have to leave soon."
"Fine. Now leave."
"Why should I?"
"Cause I said so. And I have to go pick up Kat" Hermione replied irritably
"Then I'll come with you" he said smirking
"Don't you have anything better to do than follow me around and annoy me?"
"Nope. You have nothing to do in your house"
"Well then do me a favor and leave"
Hermione stomped downstairs, grabbed her keys and got into her car. Unfortunately Malfoy followed her. She couldn't do anything about him so she had to let him come. And plus surely she could survive ten minutes in his company. After all she had survived a whole day with him yesterday. She stepped on the gas and let the hood down. When they got to Kat's house Hermione got out. She prayed Malfoy wouldn't follow her, but no such luck. She rung the doorbell and Kat's mom answered the door.
"Hey Mrs. Sanders" Hermione said.
"Good morning Hermione. Good morning …" She looked at Draco.
"Draco Malfoy. How do you do" He replied all charm now.
"It's nice to meet you Draco" She said shaking his hand. Hermione rolled her eyes
"We've just got to get Kat. We're leaving soon." She dragged Draco up the stairs.
"Hey!" he complained "We were just getting to know each other"
"Save the acting for the movies" Hermione said rolling her eyes again. She got to Kat's bedroom door and knocked.
"Come in" Kat mumbled sleepily from the room. Hermione opened the door went over to Kat's bed. She flung the blankets off Kat and said "time to get up" Kat just pulled the blankets back over her (sounds like someone I know coughcoughsistercoughcough). Hermione sighed and got a spare cup from the kitchen and filled it with water. She held it poised over Kat's head for a moment before tipping it onto her head. "Ahhhhhh!" Kat shrieked, bolting upright in her bed.
"What was that for?" She glared at Hermione.
"You asked for it. We have to leave soon and you wouldn't get up" Hermione laughed.
"Fine. You know what? I might just decide not to come after that" They both knew that was an empty threat. Kat got out of bed and stood to go take a shower and change. When she got up Hermione saw that her hair and part of her top was soaked.
"You know, I don't think you really need a shower anymore" Hermione laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll get you back, and believe me you will regret this"
"Yes I'm just shaking from fear" She said sarcastically "Go take a shower or I'll shove you in there with your clothes on"
"Yes mommy" Kat rolled her eyes and entered the washroom laughing. Hermione went to Kat's trunk and started riffling through it to find some clothes that wouldn't wrinkle on the plane. She finally decided on a red halter top and a pair of white jeans. She took the clothes and entered the washroom. Malfoy tried to follow her but she said "oh no you don't" and shut the door in his face. Again.
After Kat had gotten changed she said goodbye to her parents (her mom got very teary) they drove to Hermione's house to say goodbye to her parents (are you sure you'll be okay? Are you sure you know the way to the airport) but she dealt with it. They were her parents after all. Blaize had arrived while they were at Kat's house and had been waiting very impatiently for them to get back. They loaded their luggage into the trunk and got back into the car, with Malfoy in the passenger seat (unfortunately) and Kat and Blaize in the back seat. Since the drive to the airport took about an hour and a half with all the traffic, she let the hood down and turned on the radio.
"Don't you have anything better?" Malfoy complained. He complained about the radio so much that she finally turned on a cd she had burned herself. Right now it was blasting 'when I'm gone' by Emenem when Blaize leaned forward and whispered 'did you miss me? Or did you find somebody else to snog' into Hermione's ear. Hermione turned red but ignored him. Malfoy burst out laughing since Blaize had told him every little detail of the incident, but Kat was confused, so Draco explained to her.
"We had a masquerade ball at our school once and nobody knew who anybody was and Blaize started dancing with Granger and they started snogging in front of everybody. And while they were snogging, Blaize's mask fell off. You should have seen her face! It was hilarious! She ran away so fast she could have won a marathon, and she was wearing high heels."
By this time Kat was snickering even though she tried hard to hide it. When they finally reached the airport Hermione was so relieved because Malfoy and Blaize told even more embarrassing story's about her and even Kat told a few! I mean she was supposed to be her best friend! And she didn't even know how Blaize and Malfoy knew everything that they did. Hermione parked the car and they got their trunks out of the car. They went through the revolving doors into the airport which was jam packed with people trying to catch their planes. They had to go through rigorous airport security and Hermione even had to give up her beloved Gucci purse! (LOL). They were one of the first people to board the plane because they had first class tickets. A flight attendant let them onto the plane and they sat down into their seats, and some how she ended up sitting next to, you guessed it, Malfoy. Hermione groaned. Wasn't she ever going to get rid of him? Well at least she had gotten her wand back. She had told her parents that she would not go on the trip unless Malfoy gave back her wand. Another flight attendant came up to them and asked them if they would like anything to drink. The flight attendant was hardly older than them and acted all flirty around Malfoy. I can't believe they actually like him! Okay I admit he is a little hot, ok maybe a lot but that's no reason to act like a slut around him. Hermione thought.
When the plane had filled up the signal came on to put on their seatbelts so they could take off. Hermione put hers on immediately but Malfoy was to busy flirting with the flight attendant to notice. Then another flight attendant came around and told the other flight attendant (who's name was Christy) off because she hadn't left when the plane started to move and she was led away but not before she told Malfoy that she would be back to 'check on them' later.
"Put on your seatbelt" She told Malfoy. At first he refused because apparently they were too constricting, but she persisted and he finally gave in.
"So worried about my wellbeing Granger?"
"No. I just don't want to be blamed for killing you when you die" Hermione tried looking out the window to distract herself from the fact that Malfoy was sitting right next to her, but he was making that very difficult because he kept putting his arm around her shoulder. When she slapped away his hand for the tenth time she turned to him and leaned close as if to kiss him but instead she said "If you do that again I'll hex your balls off when we get off this plane. The plane had barely leveled off when Christy was back. She sat on the arm rest of Malfoy's seat and pretended to be innocently talking to Draco but everyone could tell she was flirting with him. Then Malfoy and Christy went off and sat in a pair of empty seats near the front to 'talk' but they were obviously going to have a snog. But then the same flight attendant who had dragged Christy off before (his name is Aaron) caught them, and Christy was sent to work in one of the other parts of the plane. Malfoy came back led by Aaron who was telling him that he was not allowed to kiss a flight attendant on duty.
"Malfoy! What a surprise to see you!" Then she put a very fake worried expression on her face and said "Malfoy, you didn't tell me you were gay! You have to learn to put lipstick on properly! You look a mess! I'll have to give you fashion lessons one day or you'll be killed for looking ugly!" Hermione shook her head. Aaron tried not to laugh (Aaron is like one year older than Hermione just to tell you).
"Shut up Granger, or I'll …"
"Or you'll what?" Hermione cut him off "put lipstick on me?" This time Aaron burst out laughing and Malfoy turned to him.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked Aaron furiously "I am a Malfoy and I could have you fired and you won't be able to get a job anywhere again! Do you understand?"
"Ignore him" Hermione said to Aaron "he has some issues…and something stuck up his ass" she added
"I'll keep that in mind" Aaron smiled, turned and walked away to go see to other peoples demands.
Malfoy wiped the lipstick off his mouth and said "Actually I'm not surprised Christy wanted to kiss me. I am a very good kisser. But you don't need to get jealous. I'll save a kiss just for you."
"Dream on lover boy" Hermione snorted "For all I care you could go snog all the girls in America"
"You want proof that I'm a good kisser? Well then you got it"
He leaned in and kissed her. She was so startled that she almost jumped into the air, she slowly relaxed, but then she realized what she was doing, and pulled away.
"Eww! You just kissed me! Disgusting"
"Still think I'm a bad kisser?"
"Yes" Hermione lied
Then, as if she had just appeared out of nowhere, came Christy. Spying her, Malfoy rolled his eyes. He'd had his fill of her already. Hurriedly he turned to Hermione and grabbed her and kissed her again. Hermione tried to pull away but he held her where she was.
"Just play along!" Malfoy muttered to her. She tried to pull away again
"I would prefer not to" she hissed back
"I didn't say you had a choice" He replied. Hermione knew when she had been defeated so she just relaxed 'pretend he's some other guy and not Malfoy' she told herself. Eventually Draco let go of her and she wiped her mouth on a tissue that was in the pocket in front of her.
"Kiss me again Malfoy and you will regret it." She threatened
"Would you prefer that Christy was back here?"
"No. I would prefer it if you leave" She folded her arms and looked out the window again.
"Since this is going to be a really long trip, why don't we do something to make it shorter?"
"I'm not going to kiss you again if that's what you mean"
"Well that was the first option, the second option is that we play 20 questions"
"Malfoy, do you really think that I'd be dumb enough to agree to that?"
"Why exactly would you be dumb to agree to play 20 questions with me?"
"Cause when we go back to school you could tell everybody else everything that I told you"
"Ya, but then you would tell everybody everything I told you" he pointed out
"Oh. Right" Hermione said taken aback
"So will you play?" he prompted
Hermione sighed "okay"
"I'll start" Malfoy said "How many guys have you ever kissed and who were they"
"Right to the kissing. Typical guy. Fine. I've kissed eleven guys and they are: Ron, Jason, Blaize, you, Connor, Jordan, Zack, Darren, Alex, Mark, and Chris."
"My turn" Hermione said "How Many girls have you kissed and their names"
He raised his eyebrows at her but answered anyway "I've kissed around…50 girls and they are: you, Christy, Pansy and I didn't bother to find out the other ones."
"You mean you didn't even know their names and they kissed you?"
"Ya, I'm so hot they don't even care" Hermione rolled her eyes
"You know you're the typical guy"
"What?"
"Oh, right. I should have know your vocabulary didn't stretch this far"
"Don't insult me"
"Just ask your question"
"What do you want to be when you get out of Hogwarts?" Hermione looked at him surprised. She had expected him to ask stupid questions like the first one. Not questions like this.
"I want to be a healer, because I want to do something to help end the war, but I don't want to go out front and kill people, I want to save them"
"Okay your turn"
"How many girls have you slept with?"
"And you say I get right to the kissing? What about you?"
"Just answer the question"
"20"
"20? You are not serious"
"What can I say? The girls just love me. My turn: How many guys have you slept with?
"3"
"Only?"
"I'm not a slut"
"Fair enough. Your turn"
"What's your favorite color?"
"Of everything you could ask me you ask me my favorite color?"
"I'm asking a question so answer it"
"Black and blue"
"Why? Cause you like to beat up people" Hermione smiled in a teasing manner
"No cause I like the ocean and black because I like the night time"
"What's your favorite color?"
"Red because I like the sunset and green cause…I just like it." Hermione glanced at the movie screen and saw that her favorite movie (Pirates of the Caribbean) had just started.
"Can we finish this game later? I really want to watch this."
"Sure" Malfoy shrugged.
Hermione quickly put on her headphones so she could here what they were saying. Malfoy looked at her for a moment before putting on his own.
They had been on the plane for three hours already and they had been watching the ending of the movie when Hermione thought she would close her eyes for a moment and instead fell asleep.
Draco looked at Hermione. She had fallen asleep, again. Her head was leaning on his shoulder so he put his arm around her shoulders. He sighed. If he had to spend his whole life with her, they might as well try to get along, but then again, Hermione didn't know that she had to spend her whole life with him and he wasn't sure if she would take it so well.
Half an hour later, Hermione woke up just as they were going to land, to find Draco Malfoy's arm around her shoulders, and strangely she didn't mind, but she pushed his arm away anyway. She wasn't going to have anyone thinking that she liked him (and she doesn't yet). She buckled on her seat belt and moments later she felt a thump as the plane touched the ground (anyone who's been on a plane, knows it takes much longer to land but who cares). Hermione took out her carry on bag out of the hold above their seat and followed Draco out of the plane.
That's chapter 3. I know my endings are a little weak but chapter 5 will end with a bang, and I don't know bout chap 4, but enough of my yapping, press that button and review.
