In their Shoes
Chapter 3:
"Hi Hermione." Ron beamed.
"Ron." Hermione nodded solemnly.
"Aw come on Mione, you can't still be mad at me can you?" Ron asked impatiently.
"Yes, I am. You blabbed out my secret Ron! I can't trust you anymore..." She sighed.
"It's been almost a month!" Ron mumbled.
"Ah, you CAN count!" Hermione said sarcastically.
"Look Mione, I'm really sorry...." Ron pleaded on hands and knees.
"Okay Ronald.." Hermione said slowly. He stood up and grinned at her. "I'll think about it." Hermione smiled and headed off from the Gryffindor common room, to her own... with Draco.
"Women." Ron scoffed.

"Drakie!" Pansy smiled excitedly as she saw her dream man enter his old Slytherin common room.
"Don't call me that Parkinson." Draco said s he rolled his eyes.
"We could have met somewhere more romantic..." Pansy grinned.
"I wasn't here for you!" Draco spat.
"There's no need to be embarrassed!" Pansy smiled and toyed with his shirt buttons.
"Where's Blaise?" Draco ordered as he pushed away from her.
"He's not here." Pansy smiled as she edged closer to Draco.
"What about Crabbe and Goyle?" Draco said in panic ans stepped backwards towards the green lounge.
"They're... busy eating.." Pansy said slowly and moved even closer.
"I have to go." Draco grimaced and stepped backwards before he realised he was trapped against the wall.
"There's no need to rush!" Pansy said soothingly and pressed her body against Draco's. He simply closed his eyes and groaned angrily.
"Pansy, I really have to-" Draco tried to explain.
"We have this place all to ourselves." Pansy flirted and let her robes slip off her bony body and reveal her ugly read bra and matching panties.
Draco closed his eyes immediately.
"Pansy stop!" Draco cried and tried to escape but Pansy tackled him to the floor and kissed him.
The more Draco tried to push away, the more Pansy tugged on his clothes.
His buttons were already undone and he finally pushed away.
"What the hell was that for?" Draco yelled.
"You know you liked it." Pansy smirked.
"Yeah right you bloody slut!" Draco groaned and tried to button up his shirt helplessly.
"You dirty devil!" Pansy smirked again and reached out to her back to remove her bra.
"No!" Draco screamed and turned towards the door. Blaise stormed in and stumbled on a shirtless Draco and half naked Pansy.
"Argh!" Blaise screamed and covered his eyes.
"It's not what it looks like!" Draco yelled over the top of Pansy's giggling.
"Oh sure it isn't you sex hungry devil." Pansy lied.
"Merlin's beard!" Blaise screamed and rushed out of the common room.
"We did not have sex you stupid prostitute!" Draco said coldly.
"Sure we didn't." Pansy winked.
"If you tell anyone about this... I'll kill you." Draco warned and fled from the scene before he was discovered again.
"Oooh, so it is true!" Draco heard a first year call as he rushed through the seventh floor corridor.
"You mean.. he and Parkinson..?" The girl's friend laughed.
"Nice one Malfoy!" Draco heard Crabbe call out.
"I didn't!" Draco yelled and ran as fast as he could to his room.
--------(o)--------
"What happened to you?" Hermione giggled as she saw a topless Draco enter their dormitory.
"You mean... you haven't heard?" Draco asked happily.
"Heard what?" Hermione demanded.
"Nothing." Draco rolled his eyes and locked himself into the bathroom. Moments later, Hermione heard pounding on the portrait of Lachlan the Lanky.
"Password." She heard him repeat.
"I need... to talk... to Hermione!" A familiar Harry's voice said breathlessly.
"Password!"
"No.. I just-"
"PASSWORD!"
"Hermione, you'll never guess what-" Harry began as he reluctantly saw his friend appear from the portrait.
"How did you know where my dormitory was?" Hermione asked.
"The map." Harry grinned.
"Oh, well.. alright so what exactly happened?" Hermione asked.
"Apparently Draco did it with Pansy." Harry smirked.
"What!" Hermione spluttered.
"Yep. So I just had to know.." Harry winked.
"Well.. he did come in here topless..." Hermione said awkwardly.
"Merlin's beard!" Harry grimaced.
"But.. he wouldn't stoop that low would he?" Hermione whispered.
"He's a Malfoy." Harry shrugged.
"Yeah but... Pansy?" Hermione giggled.
"I know hard to believe.. I just wanted to warn you incase he started hitting on you and-"
"Shut up Harry." Hermione sighed angrily and entered her dormitory, leaving Harry behind.
--------(o)--------
Hermione headed to the bathroom to check on Draco. She put her head to the door and heard him crying.
"Draco, are you alright?" Hermione asked.
"I'm fine." Draco lied.
"Look, I heard about what happened.. If you want to talk about it, I'm here." Hermione said sympathetically.
"Going to write an essay on it Mud Blood?" Draco hissed.
"No, I just want to help. Honestly." Hermione said and attempted to unlock the door.
"I don't need your help." Draco said coldly.
"Draco, please open the door." Hermione whispered.
There was a moments silence, and the door opened, revealing Draco's pink, tear stained face.
"Happy?" He said and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Look, I won't tell anyone anything. I swear." Hermione said and held out her pinky finger.
"I don't care. It's not like you'll believe my anyway." Draco sniffed.
"Of course I do!" Hermione protested.
"Just go away Mud Blood!" Draco spat and entered his room.
"Draco just wait-" The door slammed in Hermione's face.
"I actually felt sorry for you Draco. I wanted to help you but now I realise that you are and always will be a stupid, sulky, annoying, mean, bastard of a ferret!" Hermione yelled and ran to her room.
The door burst open and Draco stormed right in. "How dare you speak to me that way!" He yelled.
"Well it's true." Hermione huffed.
"You try being in my shoes Hermione Granger. Having Death Eaters in your home. Having parent's follow the Dark Lord and being raised as a follower.
I'm a Malfoy and I have no control over my life. Just once, I'd like to see how you feel in my shoes." Draco boomed and left Hermione's room in frustration.
"Maybe I would..." Hermione whispered with tears in her eyes. She never expected Draco's feelings to be this severe.
