Thank you for all your reviews, I liked them a lot. Please R&R even more. I love my readers out there. If it is still boring, I'm sorry about my un-funniness. Like I never told you, I'm a singer not a writer. I just thought this would be fun, I love you all, Gee.
Things Change
Chapter 4:
Is this Okay?
"I can't believe you're going to say that!" Hermione laughed, "Can't you think of something better, much better?" Draco went red.
"Come on, why don't you think of something, Muddblood?" he defended himself. Looking up to the gassy clouds, the curly haired girl put a finger up to her chin and bit her bottom lip as she thought.
After a delicious lunch of mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin juice, and chocolate-sprinkled pudding cake, the two business people met each other out by the lake before class started. Now Hermione, sitting on the grass, watched a standing Malfoy watch her think of something for him to say to Olivia when evening comes. Done thinking, Hermione stood up and paced around Malfoy, saying,
"You know Krum's girlfriend," she began, "I just don't feel like your up to braking up with Victor and starting a new relationship with a ferret." Hermione laughed at what she added, "Who got punched by a know-it-all back in the third year." The blonde man, standing next to her turned sun-red by now.
"You thought mine was pathetic? Did you hear what you just said?" he gave out a fake, unconvincing smirk. Hermione stopped pacing and stood still, looking jokingly at Malfoy,
"That was because I was kidding around." She stated, "I just don't know why you can't get sarcasm. Draco thought of how to make a good comeback.
"Well…" he thought a little more, "Well, I don't know why you can't say Olivia Bloody Pithoney's name."
"Why would I want to say someone's name that I don't like?" Okay, that was random. Quick, think of something else to say, too late.
"Is it because there was something going on with you two that the rest of the world can't know about?" Draco rubbed in.
"Well…ah…how…" Hermione hesitated.
"Kidding, Granger, kidding," Draco chuckled at his own unfunny joke.
"Ha ha, every funny," Hermione rolled her eyes, "I thought you actually found something out."
"' I just don't know why you can't get sarcasm,'".
"Just shut up," she sat down again, "Go on with your little rehearsal." Draco unrolled his parchment and began to read from it again, laying down across from Hermione.
"Oh sweet, Olivia, how art thy knoweth, Olivia," Hermione thought he gave the worst impression of Romeo ever.
"That's not even what Shakespeare wrote. You are such an idiot," Hermione waves him away with her hands and leans forward to rest on the grass floor, her arms layered under her chin just before the water.
"It is very beautiful out there." She looks out, beyond. "I've always loved the shinny water." Draco went down beside her and looked out too.
"Ya, it is," Hermione took her eyes away from the liquid reflecting the sky and gazed at him.
"Something I thought you would never appreciate."
"Maybe your wrong for once,"
"I'm never wrong," she said with pride.
"Are you going to watch me give my speech to Olivia to night?" Hermione kept looking out at the pinkish-orange sun.
"Probably not, unless, of course, I'm invited. Then maybe I'll ask some other of my friends to come and join me."
The duet sat in silence for a little while until Draco said he'd better get back inside before it gets to dark.
"You know that I know you really care about Olivia right?" Hermione waited for his answer.
"I might know that you think that, but you're wrong, she means nothing at all to me." Hermione got up.
"Why are you going through all this trouble just to tell a girl that you really care about her deep down, but make a long boring lecture about not wanting to see her again?"
"Because, that's how I really feel. We almost had sex okay? She used me," Draco looked Hermione square in the face to make her really understand, "I've had a crush on Olivia for six years now. Then she uses me just for a one night stand. I'm nothing to her, so why should she mean anything to me?"
"But…" Draco put his hand up to stop her for saying anything else.
"This is something you wont understand. Besides, you'll have Weasley and Potter by your side to make sure you don't get into anything bad for the rest of your life." Then he just walked away, out of sight, leaving Hermione alone to soak up all that has happened that night, all that he had said.
