DISCLAIMER: Me: Mrs. J.K. Rowling?
J.K.: Yes, Missnewkid?
Me: Um… I'm writing another chapter of my Dramione story, My First Kiss… Is it alright if I put in some Dramione fluff? Well, I need Hermione and Draco for this…
J.K.: Foolish kid! You don't own Harry Potter, I do!
(What J.K. Rowling said to me is true… not really!)
…
Hermione woke up, feeling hot and clammy. She looked around the room and found that she was in the school's infirmary. Hermione clutched her head, feeling a headache coming on. She felt a hand on her leg and she looked down to see that it was Draco, sleeping.
Hermione frowned and nudged Draco.
"Malfoy... Malfoy, what happened?" she asked, shaking him.
Draco woke up and looked at Hermione's eyes. Hermione shivered, watching Draco's silver eyes watching hers.
"You're awake," said Draco, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Yes, I am. Now tell me what happened!"
Draco looked down at his feet. "You fell," he said calmly.
Hermione's eyes widened. "I did? Where?"
"On top of the Owlery. On the roof."
"How... how... who saved me?
Draco rolled his eyes, much to Hermione's surprise. "Who else? ME! That's who! Isn't it common instinct to save you own girlfriend? Geez, Granger, you're supposed to be the smartest witch of your age."
Hermione just sat there, staring at him. Draco looked back, his brows furrowed.
"Granger, I know I'm hot and everything, but you staring at me is weird."
Hermione came back to reality, then playfully punched Draco on the arm. "You didn't have to save me, Ferret," she said to him, still punching his arm. Draco brushed away the bangs from his face. "Well, I wanted to. There's no stopping a Malfoy, you know," he replied with a smug look on his face.
"Yeah."
Hermione stared out the window, watching as the sun rose, and the birds chirp. Draco watched Hermione carefully.
"You lost, by the way," Draco said, remembering the bet.
"To who?"
"Me."
"Why, what did I do?"
"I just found out that you wrote something on your hand," Draco smirked, watching Hermione's shocked expression.
"Uh... I don't know what you're talking about!" Hermione said frantically, looking away. Hermione gasped as Draco suddenly grabbed her hand. Hermione tried to erase it, but with no luck. Draco smirked.
"You said here that someday, you just might say I love you to me!" Draco said with mock delight. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Well, if you'd rather I not, I'll be happy to!" she said to him, snatching back her hand.
"Whoa, I was just kidding, love. You know that I want you to love me..."
"Uhuh."
"And dream about me..."
"Uhuh... wait! No, I don't dream about you!"
Draco laughed. She was just so cute when she's teased.
Wait... she isn't cute!
Draco looked away suddenly. 'When I first read what was on her hand, I didn't believe it,' he thought, 'maybe I was actually hoping that she would someday learn to like me...'
Draco shook his head. 'What in the name of Merlin is happening to me?' Draco kicked himself mentally in the head. Hermione poked Draco's arm. "Thanks..." she said to him.
"For what?"
"You know, for saving me..." Hermione smiled. "But that doesn't mean that you're still an arrogant Ferret. And that I said I love you to you. I mean, look at it this way, I only said that maybe someday I will. I didn't say that I did think I love you."
Draco frowned. "Mudblood Granger."
"Malfoy Ferret."
They just sat there, staring at each other with such cold stares. Suddenly, someone opened the curtains.
It was Ginny Weasley.
Draco and Hermione knew that Ginny was just crying her eyes out. Her eyes were puffy and red, something that actually matched her red hair. Ginny was shivering, and she was looking straight at Hermione, ignoring Draco. Ginny pounced on Hermione, hugging her tightly.
"I... I'm sorry I didn't save you..." Ginny said over and over again, tears coming to her eyes. Hermione patted her back. "It's okay. You couldn't have done anything," Hermione said, trying to comfort her friend. Ginny cried even harder.
"No! I could have lifted you up with a spell or something..."
"I don't even think you know that kind of spell, Gin."
Ginny smiled and wiped her tears. Draco watched as they both broke apart. "At least Malfoy was there. He was like a knight in shining armor, 'Mione!" Ginny said giddily, clapping her hands.
Draco's eyes widened as Hermione smiled.
Draco cleared his throat loudly, making Ginny spin around and see him.
"I didn't know you were there, Malfoy!" yelled Ginny, watching him angrily. Draco smirked and examined his fingernails.
"I didn't want to ruin the moment. I mean, who would like someone to come up and say, 'Hey there, Weaslette!' and ruin everything?"
Hermione snorted.
"He's just kidding, Gin." said Hermione, sighing. "See? This is why no one's ever kissed you, you're such a brat!"
Draco coughed. "Wow, that's such big talk for someone who hasn't been kissed either. My dear Granger, girls will kill just to kiss me."
To Hermione's shock, Ginny looked down and mumbled, "It's true."
Hermione playfully slapped Ginny on the arm repeatedly. "That's gross! Remind me not to come to your 'girl talks' anymore!"
"Mudblood Granger," said Draco, smirking.
"Malfoy Ferret!" replied Hermione, looking at him angrily. Draco laughed out loud. Suddenly, a very cross Madame Pomfrey came in. "Mister Malfoy, I do think that you should get out of the infirmary if you want to laugh."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Sorry, Madame Pomfrey."
As Madame Pomfrey went out to assist her other patients, the girls giggled.
Draco stood at the side, watching Hermione talk to Ginny. He admired the soft curls that fell to her hips and her eyes that sparkled whenever she talked.
'What am I freakin' thinking?' thought Draco, closing his eyes tightly.
"Draco... Draco..."
Draco snapped back to reality. Hermione frowned. He doesn't look too good.
"Um... Hermione, if you don't mind, Harry and Ron wanted to visit you," said Ginny, looking down. Draco's eyes opened wide when Hermione smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay."
Ginny gave a grin and went out of the room.
A few minutes later, the curtains opened and Harry came in with a warm smile. He didn't look at Draco. Harry didn't notice him standing right there.
"Hermione, hello."
Hermione smiled. "Hello, Harry."
A few seconds later, Ron came in, his face red but not as red as before. Hermione bit her lip. Is this really gonna work?
Harry gave Ron a look that said 'say something!' and Ron gave a stiff hi. No one seemed to notice Draco and Draco wasn't planning to get noticed.
"We just came to visit since we heard from Ginny that you fell from the Owlery..."
"And that Death Eater Malfoy saved you..." cut Ron, making Draco clench his hands into fists.
"... Um... well we wanted to see how you were doing!" Harry ended, sitting at the edge of Hermione's bed.
"Uh, yeah! And about me and Malfoy, it was all a misunderstanding..." Hermione frantically looked at Draco, waiting and hoping that he would nod. He did.
"You see, I..." Hermione paused for a minute. Draco could see that she was stuck.
"... she accidentally kissed me," said Draco, stepping out of his hiding place. Harry and Hermione's eyes went wide as Ron's face matched his hair.
Undisturbed by their looks, Draco went on. "That was my first kiss. We made an Unbreakable Deal that she'd be my girlfriend. Chill out, it's not like she's going to marry me." Or maybe she might.
Hermione bit her lip.
"I understand 'Mione. I'll support you through this but if he ever hurts you, we're going to try to break that deal. Got it?" said Harry, smiling at her. Hermione smiled back.
Everyone was waiting for Ron's response.
"But Hermione! He's a bloody Death Eater!" Ron growled. Draco's clenched his fists tighter.
Behind the curtains, Ginny was eavesdropping. She made a mental note to herself to punish Ron when they're back at the Common Room.
Hermione felt a sudden surge of anger. "Well, Ronald, he doesn't have anyone to worship anymore! We killed Lord Voldemort, Ron! He's gone!"
Everyone stayed quiet.
'That showed him!' thought Hermione, feeling victorious. Draco looked shocked. She actually helped him!
Harry looked at Ron firmly in the eyes. "Just say yes, Ron."
Ron looked around and sighed.
"Fine. But if you hurt her," Ron said with a point to Draco, "you're dead."
Draco began to loosen up.
"I'm not serious with her anyways. It's just for the deal," Draco smirked proudly.
Harry chuckled. "We're just watching out for the time when you guys do get serious."
Hermione blushed instantly.
Ron went back to his red face. "That can't happen mate! Right, 'Mione?"
"R... Right," answered Hermione, staring at the wall. "Well, bye now!" said Harry, getting up. "See 'ya later!" said Harry, dragging Ron out with him.
Hermione was still staring at the wall.
Draco watched her closely, amused. "Hey Granger, you're staring at the wall."
Hermione snapped back to reality and shook her head.
"Oh, damn it. I'm tired again."
"Go back to sleep then," Draco said in a matter-of-fact tone. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Sleep tight, love."
And sleep tight she did.
...
As Harry, Ron and Ginny was going back to the Common Room, they found Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, walking hand in hand, to the infirmary.
"Hi Neville, hi Luna!" said Harry, waving.
They smiled at them. "Hello Harry, Ginny and Ron!" Luna said in her floaty, dream-like voice.
"On your way to visit Hermione?" asked Ginny.
Neville nodded. "Yeah. It's our turn now. Hagrid's next in line."
They all smiled. Of course Hagrid would be there to visit Hermione!
As they walked further apart from each other, Neville whispered to Luna. "Did you hear that Draco saved Hermione?"
Luna looked up and smiled. "Yes. The Nargles told me."
"And that Hermione actually screamed Draco's first name? Do you think they might have feelings for each other?"
Luna smiled once more. "Yes, I think I do. Well, that's what the Nargles told me..."
...
"REVIEW!" Hermione said desperately.
Draco shook his head. "My love, when will you learn? They only listen to me, I told you that already!"
"EVERYONE REVIEW FOR MY SAKE! KEEP THE REVIEWS COMING! I WANT 100+ REVIEWS!"
Everyone bowed down and typed on their keyboards.
Angrily, Hermione grabbed a shaver and threw it threateningly in the air, making Draco cower in fear.
"DON'T MAKE ME BALD!"
Haha... since everyone was talking about a bald Draco, why not? LOL. Also, Blaise wants me to thank you for reviewing! He's spared from the hairbrush!... for now. :)
