Chapter 3: The Slytherin Dungeons
*After History of Magic*
'RON!' screamed Hermione.
'Yeah?'
'What was out homework?' asked Hermione with a yawn.
'Rare. We usually ask you what's homework. Now it's the opposite. Anyway, the ghost just said to bring a book about troll wars and make a report on it. He wants a roll of parchment.' Hermione yawned again.
'Thanks, Ron.' Hermione ran to where the Slytherin dungeons where. She wrapped a scarf around her shoulders, for it was cold, especially now that she is underneath the Hogwarts lake. Finally, she saw the door, but she was blocked by Pansy.
'Where do youthink you'regoing,Mudblood?'
'Someone wrote to me to go here. To your dungeons.' said Hermione directly in front of Pansy's pug face. Pansy looked insulted.
'Well, that writer isn't - ' Suddenly, Draco appeared.
'Hi Parkinson. Hi, Hermione.' Pansy was surprised Draco didn't call Hermione the usual names.
'Hermione I need to talk to you.' Draco glared at Pansy.
'ALONE.' Pansy gave Hermione and Draco a suspicious look, and left them. Draco waited until the hallway was empty. Then he grabbed Hermione's wrist, ran to an empty room. He said 'Colloportus' and the door locked by itself.
'Well, what are we doing in here?'
'I just want to say something to you.'
'Well go on. Talk.' Draco breathed deeply.
'Granger, I love you.' he said simply.
'What? But you're with Parkinson.'
'No, I am not. I was planning to, you know, announce we're done. Hermione you're the only girl for me. No one could change that.' He began leaning to Hermione, until he touched her lips. Draco had one hand around her waist, and the other on her hair, playing with it. For them, life was perfect, until it was interrupted. Pansy had opened the door, and watched them all along, with a face of utter disgust and jealousy.
'Wait…are my eyes playing tricks or what I see is true?' Draco turned to her.
'Pansy, we're done. You were cheating on me the whole time.'
'And with who, may I ask?'
'I won't be telling you that bit. You'll have to figure that out on your own.'
'Why are you with the Mudblood?'
'DON'T call her that!' Then Draco stormed out of the room, Pansy on his tail.
'DRACO! I never meant to call her that. It's just….ugh!' Pansy caught up to him, and snogged him, square on the mouth. When she was doing this, Draco found it hard not to snog her back. Meanwhile, Hermione left the room, and ran to the path to where Pansy ran, and found Pansy snogging Draco. Draco pulled Pansy away, turned to Hermione and shot her a look that says 'I'm sorry'. She ignored this look, and ran away from that spot, teary-eyed. She kept her hands to her eyes and only took them off once she reached her dorms. Once at her dorms, she went to her bed, and wept.
