We own nothing.

-Dante Pierre

It was thirty minutes after dinner on a breezy Saturday evening. In the Gryffindor common room, two girls were sitting by the fire, completely and utterly bored.

"So..." Ginny began.

"So..." Hermione repeated. It was one of the rare evenings where she was too tired to do or say anything overly intellectual.

"We can't go to sleep yet." continued Ginny, "It's too early."

"Uh huh." Replied Hermione.

"So how about we..."

"We what? Go to sleep?"

"No! We can... play a game!"

"A game? What kind of game?" Hermione asked warily.

"A fun game. Where we... pair people up!"

"I'm listening."

"So we come up with couples, of any kind, and write them down!"

"Hmmm..."

"Come on! It'll be fun!"

"Beats doing nothing I suppose. I'll get us some parchment." Hermione stood up and walked to her dorm. Five minutes later Ginny was worried that Hermione had just gone to sleep. But lo and behold, the bushy haired girl returned.

"What took you so long?"

"Lavender." Hermione replied as if that explained everything. And so the two girls set to work.

"How about Padma and... Boot! Terry Boot." Ginny supplied. With a small smile Hermione wrote it down.

"My turn. You and Neville."

"What! Noo." Ginny exclaimed. Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"Fine." The quill scratched away.

"Your turn."

"You and... Blaise!" Ginny smiled sweetly.

"Zabini?"

"The one and only."

"But I'm dating Ron!"

"And I'm dating Dean."

"Point taken." Hermione wrote her name down followed by the Slytherin's.

"Seamus and Lavender." Hermione stated. Ginny smirked.

"Ron and Parkinson."

"What's with you and Slytherins?" Ginny's smirk just grew wider. Hermione sighed, but nevertheless wrote down her boyfriend's name with Pansy's.

"What about Harry?" Hermione asked, "I mean he wouldn't want to be left out. Ron and I are both with Slytherins..."

"Malfoy!" Both girls exclaimed at the same time, eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Ok, how about Dumbledore." Ginny pondered.

"Snape?" Hermione suggested, but Ginny just shook her head, "That's too easy." Reluctantly, Hermione nodded her head. The girls sat in silence for a moment.

Finally, Hermione spoke up, "You-Know-Who." Ginny stared at her for a moment before bursting out in laughter.

"That's, that's a good one!" She managed to choke out. Hermione grinned, "I thought so."

Ron chose that moment to enter the room. He walked up to the girls and stared at the list in confusion.

"What do you mean by Ron and Pansy?" He asked. Ginny and Hermione turned around startled.

"Oh umm... we were bored." Ginny replied. Ron looked at her funny.

"Padma and Terry, Ginny and Neville, Hermione and Blaise. What is all this?" Ron started, still not getting it, "Harry and Draco? What?" Then his eyes widened in comprehension.

"Your writing down coup-"

"So, Ron, where's Harry?" Hermione cut him off, changing the subject. Ron looked up, completely forgetting about the sinister list.

"I dunno. He said he had somewhere to go. I reckon he was meeting someone." Ginny perked up.

"Meeting someone? Like a girlfriend? Or maybe a secret lover. Maybe it's a boy. Or maybe he's gone and got a girl pregnant!" She exclaimed.

"Oi! Enough!" Ron practically shouted, "I'm sure it's not that. Geez. Girls." He muttered as he wandered off. Rolling their eyes, the girls continued to pair people up late into the night.

It was about two in the morning when the girls had finally written down the last couple, Romilda and Dennis.

Hermione got up and stretched, "We should probably go to sleep.", she murmured. Ginny agreed, but the sound of the portrait opening caused her to freeze on the spot. Slowly both girls turned their heads towards the entrance to the common room and stared dumbstruck as the door swung shut. Nobody had entered the room, or so their sleep-deprived brains thought. Three was a giggle and then two figures were revealed as Harry's invisibility cloak slid to the ground. If the girls were shocked before, Merlin knows what state they were in now. There in front of them, were Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy snogging the living daylights out of each other. Hermione shrieked and Ginny continued to stare, completely enthralled. At Hermione's shriek, the two boys broke apart as if they were electrically shocked

Draco smirked, regaining his composure, "Harry, baby, it looks like we have an audience, should we put on a show?" Hermione and Harry paled at the same time, but Ginny just kept on staring.

"Draco, maybe we should, I mean, Hermione, Ginny, I-we didn't see, I mean know you were-in the...here." Harry said finished awkwardly. Draco's smirk grew wider. Hermione grabbed Ginny and dragged her out of the common room.

Draco turned back to Harry, "Now where were we?"
