Chapter 3 One Step forward Two steps backward

Hermione walked inside the Library finding an odd wave of comfort being in such a silent place. She glanced at the surroundings, finding not much students stayed there. Who would anyway? She was an exception though.

Hermione walked further inside and spotted two Hufflepuffs lost in each other's company. 'How rude! A library is a place for studying lessons! Not studying another person's body!' she thought. A small evil grin came to her face and she approached them more but not to the point that she was seen already.

In her best imitation of McGonagall's voice, she reprimanded them. "What's this? The library is not a place for making out! Out the two of you before I give you detention!"

The two students rushed immediately not even bothering to look at the speaker. It was all too familiar that they wouldn't even dare.

Now that was what Hermione called fun. No need for taking points. It was enough to see their distraught faces as they run away from their "worst nightmare".

"So you've been the one imitating McGonagall." A voice behind her spoke up. Clearly too familiar, it belonged to Draco Malfoy.

Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at him. "What do you want?" she said, her mood was ruined by the self-proclaiming-git.

"Might I say Granger, that you've agreed to help me." He smirked at her pained expression.

"Right." She said. "Let's go then."

"First of all Malfoy, though I think this is completely unnecessary, I want to know your weak points in conversing with a girl." Hermione said in a professional voice. Hermione never really imagined that she would ever give out tips on how to make a girl fall in love. She grinned as she thought of making a book of it in the future and making Malfoy her guinea pig.

"What do I do?" he asked.

"Well, you try and talk to Susan there." She said as she pointed to the girl.

The distance was just 4 tables away and Draco held his head proudly as he approached the girl.

Hermione watched intently at how pathetic he was. He was too damn confident! Besides the fact that Susan was just a small work since she likes him already, Hermione was too shocked to see that the girl stood and slapped Draco. Hermione shook her head and rubbed her temples. "This is going to be tougher than I thought."

Harry and Ginny were too engulfed in their explorations to notice a very disturbed Ron who entered the portrait.

"You two, what did I tell you about getting a room?" Ron said and made a face. The two were disgusting him sometimes.

Harry and Ginny stopped snogging each other into oblivion and wiped their faces. Ginny's lip-gloss was smeared and some of it was even on Harry's face. Harry wiped it after Ron made a face.

"What's with you again?" Ginny said rolling her eyes.

"What's new?" Harry replied for Ron.

"Hey! Do you want to hear it or not?" Ron said agitated.

"Fine, fine."

"Well, we were in the middle of our snogging sessions when that darn Snape walked in on us." Ron said angrily.

"How? I mean I thought you were in a closet?" Harry asked amused at the story.

"WE were! But I didn't know that it was Snape's darn Potion's closet! He's given me and Pansy detention for it." Ron rolled his eyes.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other before bursting out into fits of laughter. "That…that's really stupid Ron." Ginny said in between giggles.

"You should've chosen a safer place." Harry patted Ron's back.

"Hey! It's not my fault Pansy was all over me when we entered!" he then realized what he said and blushed. The other two just laughed, hard.

"So Malfoy, I've seen errors and I'm telling you it's going to be harder than I thought." Hermione explained.

Draco stared at her wildly. "Malfoy's don't have errors! Especially with tactics with girls!"

"Well you're tactics are lame and stupid, now if you want to get Kim into liking you I suggest you stick that head out of your ass for one minute and shut up and listen." She rolled her eyes. "Here are the errors. You're a git, obnoxious, annoying, you brag, you a stuck-up prat, you're egotistic, you're self centered, you're talking too much of yourself, you're very…" she trailed on.

"Hey! You said errors! Not insults to me!" he said defensively.

"Hey! I'm the one who observed you and to point it out that I'm not just insulting you! These are what really hinders you from getting yourself a girl!" she said.

Draco puffed in anger as she trailed on with the "errors".

"And last but not the least you're jus plain rude." She counted to ten to catch her breath. Clearly this pointing Malfoy's errors out was exhausting having a complete 2 rolls of parchment back to back filled with it. Mind you, these parchments were at least 3 feet long each!

"So now, I need you to do this, talk to Mandy and compliment her new hairstyle. Easy as that." She explained. "Can you do it?"

Draco nodded and headed for the girl. He gave one glance at Granger who just nodded. He was calm and collected. It wasn't as if Mandy was the prettiest girl in school. That's why he wasn't feeling a tinge bit of nervousness in his system.

"Hey Mandy." He said. "I like your hairstyle." He smiled her a very nice Malfoy's-million-galleon-smile. He was doing it! It didn't seem hard at all in fact. "Especially the…" but he wasn't able finish.

"Yea Mandy, the highlights are fabulous." Another boy piped in.

Draco's blood started to boil. "Hey! Who included you in this conversation?"

Hermione watched from afar as Draco screamed frantically and scaring the poor bloke away. Mandy was obviously disgusted and left him. Draco returned with a confused face.

"You just had to open that big mouth." Hermione rolled her eyes and smacked her forehead.
