Hermione looked down quickly and felt a blush creep up her neck.
"Did you see that?! Draco just winked at you!" Ginny said excitedly.
"Yes, I saw that, Ginny. I don't think I can do this. I'm nervous just from him looking at me."
"Hermione, you will be fine. Just don't over talk and you will be fine. Ask him if he wants to go on a date. If he says no, smile and walk away. Simple as that." Lavender said, smiling kindly at Hermione.
After dinner, Hermione was walking out of the Great Hall by herself. She had plans to go to the library and try to finish next weeks assignments. When she rounded the corner to the library, she collided with something hard and grunted.
"Well, Granger, if you wanted to feel my chest, all you had to do was ask." Blaise Zabini teased, winking at her.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Can you please move out of the way? I've got things to do."
"I'll move out of the way on one condition. Kiss me." He said, smirking at her.
Hermione gasped and then doubled over laughing. "Yeah, okay, Zabini. Seriously, move."
Blaise scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion. She thought this was funny? Seriously?
"I'm serious, Granger."
"Okay, I really don't have time for this." Hermione said, trying to go around him, but he still blocked her way.
"Seriously, move. This isn't funny anymore. This is your last warning, Zabini." Hermione was getting severely mad.
"Or what Gra-" Blaise got cut off by Hermione pulling out her wand and yelling Stupefy. She smiled sweetly as she walked into the library to find a stunned Draco Malloy standing there.
"Did you just stun him, Granger?" Draco asked, surprised.
"Yes, I did. He was in my way. Demanded a kiss. Stupid man skank." Hermione said, shaking her head and walking back to her usual table.
Draco's POV
Draco had watched the whole encounter with Hermione and Blaise, and had to fight his laughter until Hermione passed by him. After she did, he burst into a fit of laughter. He carefully levitated Blaise, and walked back to the Slytherin Common Room, thinking what an idiot Blaise was. Hermione had looked slightly amused when Draco had asked her if she had just stunned Blaise. Draco plopped Blaise down on one of the couches and sat in an armchair, a smile still on his face.
Draco watched as Blaise slowly awoke and jumped up off the couch, looking pissed.
"That bloody wench!" Blaise yelled.
"Plan didn't go so well to seduce Granger?" Draco asked, trying not to laugh.
"She stupefied me! What the bloody hell is wrong with her?!" Blaise exclaimed, as he paced the common room.
"What do you think? She's loyal, you idiot! If she is all dolled up for some guy, do you really think she is going to mess around with anyone else?" Draco asked him, amazed he didn't pick up on who he had tried to seduce.
Blaise sighed and sat down, picking up a piece of parchment and a quill, scribbling down a note and attaching it to an owls' foot before sending it out the window.
"Who did you send that owl to?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. Surely he wasn't dumb enough to try again.
"Well, if Granger isn't going to let me into her knickers, I have to get some from some other source." Blaise said, smirking and leaving the common room.
Draco chuckled and thought back to tonight at dinner. Granger did look amazing. Also what a body! She was hiding a lot under her robes. Draco quickly shook his head. No. He couldn't think about her like that. She already had someone in mind anyways. Oh well.
