"I can't believe we have Potions" Ron groans
"At least it's only once a week"
The three walk down the stairs leading to the dungeons. As they walk by Draco, he decides to have a little fun.
"Accio glasses"
"What" Harry stops abruptly causing his two friends to look at him.
"Looking for these ?" Draco asks smugly
"Give it back Malfoy!" Hermione demands as the three of them point their wands at Draco
"Sticking up for your little boyfriend again I see. What will I get in return?"
"I won't hex you" Hermione drops her hand.
" 15 points each from Gryffindor for casting spells on their fellow classmate" The boys jump at the sound of Snape's voice
"Casting?! But we didn't even cast a spell!"
"5 more points from Gryffindor you can thank Mr. Weasley. That's only because I came out in time." Snape walks back into the potions classroom and the students file in after him.
"Catch" Draco had snapped Harry's glasses in half right before he threw it at him.
"That's for punching me" Draco pushes past her.
"I'm sorry Harry" Hermione walks over to her friend holding his broken glasses.
"Occulus reparo"
"Thanks Mione" Harry grins and places his glasses back on his face. She nods and charges into the room and up to Draco.
"Whatever it is, you take it up with me, leave my friends out of it" She hisses and walks towards her seat.
Let the games begin then. He smirks.
For weeks Draco would pull little pranks on Hermione who tried to avoid him. Just because he didn't take his role as a prefect seriously, didn't mean she didn't. She wasn't going to be caught casting jinxes and hexes at her fellow classmate, what kind of example is that? So far, he had cast a spell to rearrange the words in her book whenever he saw Hermione in the library and vanished her potions from Potion's class
"Hermione, you can't just keep letting him have his ways without retaliating!" Ron cries as he watches her drying her homework that Draco had previously hit with Aguamenti
"I did!" She had previously tripped him in class causing him to knock over all the potions on a table he was standing next to and threw a spider down his back during dinner which caused him to yell out too loudly and had points taken away.
"I still think you're letting him off too easy" Ron mutters but Hermione ignores him
"Hermione look what I got" Ron says to her one morning during breakfast.
"I got these from Fred and George. You can use it on that Malfoy"
"What is it?" Harry looks over in Ron's hand.
"Puking Pastille. It makes the person vomit" Ron smiles mischievously
"And that one?"
"Nosebleed Nougat. Heavy nosebleed" The two boys start laughing and start planning when to trick Malfoy into eating the sweets. What they didn't realize was that Hermione didn't hear a thing.
She was reading a letter she received from home when Ron had started talking about the sweets he got from the twins.
"Hermione?" They call after their friend who suddenly left the table and walked away.
"We meet again" Draco says approaching her. He had spotted her standing alone facing the wall in one of the hallways.
"Where are your friends?"
"So what is it going to be today?" He asks when he didn't get any response from her. Weird, usually she's running in the other direction dodging or hiding from him.
"Granger!" He pokes her in the shoulder with his wand when she didn't answer again. What in the world is wrong with her.?
"I'm going to take advantage and hex you if you don't answer" He threatens
Still nothing. Drago inches forward and cranes his neck to see her. Did someone freeze her? Is she paralyzed? Wait, was she crying? Is that sniffling? He didn't know why he suddenly care or even when he started to care.
I don't. It just won't be fun bothering her if there's no reaction.
She suddenly turns to throw her arms around him.
"What the bloody hell?" It was his turn to freeze. He didn't know what to do so he stands there letting her cry on him.
"So I won't hex you then! Really mudblood there's nothing to cry about" He huffs
Upon hearing this she chuckles slightly and wipes her tears.
"Mucus ad Nauseam" His eyes widen as she walks away back towards the Great Hall.
"Ugh leave it to a dirty mudblood to play dirty tricks!" He charges after her.
"Locomotor Mortis" She couldn't help herself. Hopefully this will stop him from bothering her.
"Oh you have to be kidding! Two curses?!" Draco cries and hops after her as she disappears back into the Great Hall.
"Can anyone tell me wha' Bowtruckle is?" They were all standing outside for their Care of Magical Creatures lesson.
"Hermione" Hagrid calls on the first, more like the only hand that shot up.
Insufferable know it all
Hermione had been standing behind him and was making her way to the front of the class. Of course she was. Why was she standing so closely behind him though ? Draco's body tenses up as he felt her hand slightly slip into his pocket. Not another spider was it ? It's been days since he pulled a prank on her. Not since she had bound his legs together and gave him a cold with an extremely runny nose.
"Bowtruckle serves-" Draco slips his hand gingerly into his pocket. Scared to feel a bug of some sort he sighs in relief when he realizes it was only a piece of parchment. Why was she passing notes to him?
Draco ducks behind a student to read what she wrote.
Thanks
He flips over the parchment to see if there was anything on the other side. There wasn't. Well then. He folds the parchment neatly and tucks it in his chest pocket.
"-they are immensely difficult to spot"
"Excellen'! 10 points fer Gryffindor" Hermione beams.
"Know it all" Draco mouths to her when she turns to glare at him for snorting. She in return sticks out tongue out at him. For some reason, this causes the corners of his lips to curl up into a small smile.
"What's funny?" Pansy whispers into his ear making him jump.
"Nothing" He coughs into his fist covering up his smile.
So I've decided to make this a Dramione. There might be a chapter or two of Hermione with someone else but it'll mostly be Hermione/Draco. Sorry if this disappoints anyone and for wasting your time reading. If you don't like the pairing then thanks for reading up to here.
