Chapter 4
Malfoy groaned and announced to Blaise that if he died, he would haunt Hermione forever.
Malfoy headed up to the head table and everyone became silent. Shooting one last glare at Hermione, Draco pulled a very confused professor McGonagall in front of the table to the middle of the room.
Hermione dimmed the lights with a flick of her wand, earning her another glare from Draco but he was distracted as he suddenly got down on one knee causing the whole room to gasp.
"Minerva McGonagall, ever since I walked into this room and saw you sorting out the first years, I knew that you and I were destined to be together." At this time Hermione was doing her best to contain her hysterical laughs but it kept on coming out as gurgling and snorts. "Minerva, it doesn't matter if our beliefs are different or if our ages are different. It doesn't even matter if you turn me down right now because you will still know how I truly feel about you. Minerva McGonagall, you would make me the happiest man in the world right now, if you would do the honors of being my wife."
By this time, the entire hall was silent except for Hermione rolling on the floor in hysterics, unable to contain her merriment.
Before McGonagall could even respond Dumbledore stood up and looked from the still kneeling Draco to the hysterical Hermione, amusement in his eyes. "Mr. Malfoy you are too young to marry and I want to save Minerva the task of telling you that she can't marry you since she is already married. Now, I must ask that no one else disrupts a teacher again in the middle of dinner. You may get up and than sit down at the Slytherin table now Mr. Malfoy." The twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes was so bright that it seemed like there was a light bulb in his head. "oh and Ms. Granger," Hermione had calmed her laughter down by now and she looked up at the professor. "I must congratulate you on that. It was definitely the best dare that I have ever witnessed." Dumbledore bowed his head to Hermione and winked at Draco before sitting back down.
