CHAPTER FOUR
Hermione was sitting on the Gryffindor's common room, puzzled by Malfoy's bi polar actions. He was kind enough to stop the fight and walk me back here but he's still that foul ferret. Hermione hates not understanding things but was going to brush away Malfoy's weird behavior since she have always found Draco Malfoy as an enigma ever since first year, and every time she tries to unlock his secrets, she just gets infuriated on his font.
She decided to do something worthwhile before heading to dinner and sneaking off somewhere, she started her essay on transfiguration that'll be passed not in another 3 weeks.
She have written a good 18 inch long possible outcomes of a human transfiguration spell back firing when Ron barged in breathing heavily, he seems to be in a panic until he saw his friend sitting at a corner, he grabbed and examined her with distress on his voice, "Hermione! Are you hurt?"
She was startled by her friends action. "Ron, what's wrong with you. And I'm fine."
"I heard some Syltherin was planning something bad." he hugged her tightly in relief that she doesn't seem hurt.
"Oh that," she hugged back and tried to reassure him that they haven't done anything, or more like they didn't get the chance to continue their plan, "Someone saved me from them actually, Ravenclaws."
"Mione, you should watch your back, not all of those snakey bastards have changed." he removed himself from the hug and looked her in the eyes.
"I know, I'm aware of that, don't worry yourself. There's a lot who'll be there to help me if things get rowdy." She smiled to remove his anxiety, but they make things more complicated though."Believe me or not even Malfoy was there and even walked me back until the last staircase to ensure my safety back."
Ron opened and closed his mouth, Hermione giggled at his reaction.
"Mione, he's planning something." He whined.
"He might and he might not, give the bloke a chance, he might actually be just playing the bad guy but is actually a gentleman." She said nonchalantly like she never really gave a thorough thoughts on her words.
"We'll miss dinner if we don't go down now." she forgot about the time, it's near seven and dinner have started almost an hour ago. She hurriedly put her things on her bag.
"He was decent to make my sister's duty a tad bit easier, and some of them really are different if you take the time to listen." He smiled at his thoughts. "Let's go down together. I'll wait for you here."
She went back to her chamber and threw her bag at top of her bed.
The blond wizard was pacing in front of all his housemates inside the dungeon.
"Most of our family are hanging by a thread after the war. Some may have passed through a needles hole and amazingly got back to their feet faster but no doubt everyone is still under suspicion." He stopped in front of three bruised students, "As all of you recalled, I have a agreed on a truce with the head girl, if this got to her, we'll surely be shunned and it may affect our family outside and may last for a very long time."
The room was silent, "Go and reflect your actions and think about where you want to place your family's name."
Most students have left and dispersed. Theo was reading a novel and didn't leave, Blaise too didn't move by his position.
"In the morning you announced to treat Granger as an entertainment, in the afternoon you're telling them off because of their actions, what's next, getting married to her in an hour?"Pansy who also stayed, said.
Draco rolled his eyes, "It was not me who told them to have fun with her if you could remember."
Pansy with a jealous look said, "Well, I told you their plan first so you can protect your little beaver girlfriend."
The two boys was now turning their heads like they're watching a tennis match.
"You are my girlfriend!" He stood in front of her.
"I'm your girlfriend but you left me to play the knight in shining armor and save the damsel in distress."
She stood and jab her finger at his chest accusingly.
"What's wrong with you?" He narrowed his eyes on the black haired witch.
"Just admit it so everyone can live happily ever after! You actually fancy the mudb-" she covered her mouth and whispered "Granger."
"Pansy I do not harbor such feelings towards that filthy thing. This'll just benefit us."
"Lie all you want dear but you should admit it before everything goes sour."She said as she left for the great hall.
"What are you laughing at."
"Nothing, she just got a point."Blaise cleared his voice to stop from laughing his arse off.
"Don't drag me to join Hermione Granger fan club, Blaise. Theo's the one who fancy her."
Theo raised his hands as a sign that he doesn't have any rebuttal.
"But I still can't believe you save her, who are you?." Blaise doubtfully said
"I didn't actually," he brushed his hair with his fingers.
"But you still ran for her aide," Theo smirked, "That counts."
Earning a death glare from Draco.
"What kind of spell did she use against them.." He said wondering to himself. Remember during potions, and that one time at dinner too.
"What if she's just really friendly with them?"Blaise helped his friends dilemma.
"What kind of Ravenclaw would forget to use their wands?"
They decided to continue the discussion on the way to the Great Hall.
"She won't use an unforgivable." Blaise surely said
The two was silent like they were considering it.
"Maybe she have some dirt on them."Draco pondered.
"She's not you. Think outside the box" Theo remarked.
"You have any idea then?" He snarled at his friend.
"I don't know maybe someone just blinded by love to the point of foolishness?" Theo suggested.
Blaise looked at his friend, "Mate, you've been reading a lot of romance novel."
"She used a love potion! Cheeky bastard."
His company face palmed to how thick their friend was.
"Merlin! How thick is your skull Draco? They might just fancy her like how normal guys like girls."
"What? Who would?" He asked like it was not even an option, "I'll just ask the party involve if you don't have any good idea." He strode faster leaving the two.
"I actually believe that Pansy might be right." Blaise said looking at his friend back.
"That'll be the day Pansy date the-boy-who-live." Theo pat his back like he just lost it.
"Might not be far off then." Blaise mumbled inaudibly.
Draco was wondering around Hogwarts still thinking of Granger's past actions. Is really being a muggleborn that different? He genuinely believes and know that he doesn't like her. He just find her bizzare, not like loony Luna way, something in the line of ambiguous.
He sighed at his thoughts and was headed back down the dungeons, don't want to be caught by Filch on the first week. Already below the ground when he saw one of the Ravenclaw from earlier, acting suspicious. The Slytherin he is, made his way behind him without being heard.
"Hey mister knight in shining armor."He drawled lazily.
The boy caught off guard jumped but has the time to reach his wand, he immediately point it down but still on guard when he realized it was Draco Malfoy. "Malfoy,"
"Good evening, I didn't got your name." He said in return.
He didn't answer at first, thinking, how could he not know him, "Corner, Michael Corner. If this is about how I beat the crap out Goyle, I won't apologize." He didn't bother offering his hand.
"No, I don't really give a shit about what happened to them. I was actually thinking about a tiny, poop colored, nerd, witch. What was her name again, ah , yes, Granger."
"What about her?"
"Why did you save her?"
"Who wouldn't?" he answered like it's the most obvious thing the world.
"I thought Ravenclaws are logical. Who would challenge a guy twice his size in a physical battle? How could a wizard forgets he has wand? Tell me the truth."He hissed the last sentence.
"I don't have anything to explain. I'm leaving."
Draco blocked his way, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He has a dangerous glint in his eyes.
He straightened his back, "And what? Hex me? Crucio me?"
Draco cringed at his words and backed down. "Actually, I was thinking of truth potion, watch what you drink." And with that he turned and walk a few step before talking again "I never saw you here sneaking around if this talk never occured."
Why does Granger kept missing her breakfast? It's already quarter before nine. She was late for dinner too. She's really beginning to get weird.
"Blaise left an hour ago, do you plan on staying here all day?" Theo mumbled his eyes not leaving his book. "But it is sort of weird"
Draco raised his brows, "I thought you'll never notice, the breakfast is almost over. Missing a meal in a Sunday morning?"
"How could I not." He closed his book and lift his head looking at the other table. "This is quite a change."
He looked at Theo, he really pays attention to that girl.
"Great Hall always filled with tired, drowsy, and half awake students at early morning and yet today, third of the total students are nowhere to be found." Theo tilted his head, thinking.
"Wha-" he furrowed his brows and snapped his head to the other table, he mentally slapped himself, how could I miss such a number of missing person. He cleared his throat "Y-yeah," he stuttered, "wonder what happened." Just in cue, a hoard of students, a mix of the other three houses entered the large doors.
Theo stood, "Looks like nothing special. I'll be on the library." He went away.
In the corner of his eye, he caught the very girl he was just thinking about, eyes red and bags under. "She must have sneak after curfew to visit her home, grade conscious freak " he said to himself with a smirk.
As usual he went his way to the Gryffindor table. He has a good number of audience because of their sudden appearance. "Granger."
"Malfoy, I'm busy eating here, breakfast is almost over." She said without any backward glance, busy pouring maple syrup in the stack of pancakes in her plate.
"No need to get your knickers in a twist." He said disapprovingly.
Across her was Potter and Weasley who came with her, are stuffing their mouths like pigs that wasn't feed for days. He made a face of disgust. But looking a second more, they were in the same state as her, I doubt they too was studying until late.
He rested one of his arm at the table beside her plate and lean closer to her, his balance on the table. She was shocked at his action but only raised her eyebrow and continued to cut the pancakes in small pieces.
"What do you want Malfoy?" While proceeding to take a bite of her pancakes covered in sticky syrup.
"Was having a threesome with your two boyfriends that tiring?" He pointed his heads across her.
The two choked at their food, the Gryffindor table was now covered in fury. He predicted the other house heard him, he felt them tensed up. But Granger didn't have much reaction, she took a napkin and blot her mouth a little before looking up at him. He stared at her dull brown eyes, no, wait, it's honey with gold streaks and not turd colored?
"At least I got some action." She winked.
His jaw dropped, did she just- his thoughts was cut when she put her hands over his that was resting on the table, "Your hands must be tired from yesterday's activity."With a look of pity.
The Great Hall erupted in laughter even Flitwick, who was the only professor left in the front table was laughing.
"Granger!" He was red in anger, or maybe embarrassment.
"I don't think that's what you called me yesterday."The corner of her pink plump lips curled upward.
"Good grief! She's lyin-"
She went back to her food.
"Nope, cross my heart and hope to die, you were shouting 'Hermione' yesterday."
"Fuck you!"He strode his way out and before the entrance shut he heard.
"Slytherin Prince finally admitting his secret lust for me!"
"For Merlin's sake Draco, I just warned you yesterday, how could you admit your feelings like that?"
Pansy rolling on the green carpet that covers the stony floor of the dungeons.
Draco's face was buried on his hands "Oh my god Pansy! I did not! they pulled a big one against me when most of our house were gone." it was muffled but still understandable due to how loud he have said it. he peeked above his hands, "Where were you when I need you?"
"Plotting your death you stupid stuck up brat." she said while slapping his legs.
Theo was with Pansy on the floor, "I just turned my back for a second and you already made a blunder. Do you need someone to assist you breathe too?"
"I want to choke her to death!" he said while wringing his hands on the air like he was choking someone.
Draco suddenly stood up, "I know a perfect revenge, I just need a potion from Snape's Storeroom."
"What do you have?" Theo was quite curious.
"You know, the original plan, veritaserum."
"First of all, Snape would kill us before we can get that. Second, that's forbidden. Third, Snape will surely kill us." Pansy looking at his boyfriend like he had said something ridiculous and dangerous at the same time, which he had.
"Alright scaredy cat, how about a truth serum though she'll have a choice to not answer the question by that." he said in a bored tone, "and I have someone else to discipline."
"I don't know Draco, you said that we should clean our name," Pansy rest her head on the couch's sit. "...I do not like her... but... I'm out."
"I don't need you anyway." he said sticking out his tongue.
Pansy made a face in return.
"Theo?"
"We're like friends, Granger I mean, so that's..." He too rested his head on the couch.
"Useless prat. Where's Blaise?" Theo just laughed at him.
"He have been missing every now and then, might be in some broom closet."
"So I'll be doing this alone?"
"Yup, go on now. cause we're the scaredy cat and the useless prat while you, you are the bravest wizard that have ever live." Pansy said with all the sarcasm she could muster.
