Thank you once again everyone!

It was the perfect plan.

Wait until Blaise had fallen asleep, sneak out of her bedroom and into the joining door to the Slytherin common room, sneak into Malfoy's room and stab him repeatedly until Hermione was satisfied she'd killed the bastard.

But nooo Harry had to ruin the idea by pointing out that she'd have to go to Azkaban.

So, thwarted in her attempted murder she sulked in her common room where Harry and Ginny were visiting her, Ron was currently chatting up Lavender Brown while they had a free period.

"Don't look so down! You must have known you can't actually kill Malfoy?" Ginny said smirking and Hermione flopped her head backwards.

"But why?" She whined and Harry slung his arm around her laughing.

The portrait opened and in walked Blaise and -to Hermione's chargin- Draco.

Blaise walked right over to Ginny, picked her up off her spot on the couch, sat down and pulled her onto his lap. Draco chose the empty seat across from them.

"Well this is akward." Ginny said after a while and Blaise and Harry laughed as Hermione glared at Draco and contemplated how to stab him without it being traced.

Harry poked her side and leaned into her.

"Stop fantasizing about Malfoy and come back to earth." He mumbled and she glared at him.

"You make it sound as if i tolerate him."

Harry grinned and pulled her so she was half on his lap and leaning into him.

Draco rolled his eyes at them and Harry raised an eyebrow.

"How's the auction going Hermione?" Ginny asked and Harry saw Draco's smirk widen.

"Pretty good." Hermione shrugged. "I still hate the idea though, why would anyone degrade themselves like that?"

"I'm in the auction." Ginny said simply and Blaise's eyebrows flew into his hairline.

"You are not!"

Ginny faced him and smirked.

"Don't go all protective on me, you knew i was entering."
As the two bickered lightly Harry and Draco were glaring at each other while Hermione quietly drew her wand.

"Why are you in here ferret?" She demanded and he smirked but didn't say anything.

"Calm down." Harry murmured and she glared at him.

"Why aren't you pissed off that he's in here?" Hermione demanded and Harry smirked.

"Well, he hasn't said anything to me now has he?"

"By the way Potter, saw you practicing for the Ravenclaw game. Is that idiotic scar starting to weigh you down? Your flying was horrible."

Hermione grinned in triumph as Harry shot a glare in Malfoy's direction and his arm tightened around her shoulders.

"You are NOT entering-"

"Blaise why are you being so stubborn-"

"What do you mean my flying was-"
"You heard me Potter!"

As Hermione listened to her three friends and one nemesis bickering she couldn't help but feel isolated. Thankfully, the portrait swung open once again admitting Sirius into the room.

He walked in grinning at the obvious tension in the air.

"Hello." He said and sat down, Hermione immediately became suspicious.

"Alright, who are you hiding from?"

Sirius' grin widened as he rolled his eyes.

"Remus just can't take a joke, you set his hair on fire once and suddenly, the man wants blood." He shook his head and Hermione laughed.

Sirius smiled at her and then motioned to the four fighting teens beside her. "What's happened?"
"Well." She said and pointed towards Blaise and Ginny. "Blaise is being protective and Ginny's too proud to admit she likes it." She pointed towards Harry and Malfoy. "Malfoy's a bastard and Harry's defending himself."

"I see." Sirius nodded and hearing this declaration, all four arguing people in the room ceased.

"Wait, she just called me a bastard and all you can do is nod?" Draco said and Sirius nodded again grinning.

"Get out ferret!" Hermione yelled at him and Draco glared at her.

"Shut up mudblood."

The casual way that Hermione greeted Sirius must have made Draco forget that Sirius was a professor, as soon as he had said what he did though, he remembered.

"Malfoy how dare you. Ten points from Slytherin and i want you out. Go to your common room." Sirius said glaring at Malfoy who stormed out of the room.

"Thanks." Hermione said and then smirked. "But don't worry about him, i have a revenge planned out."

They all walked to their next class, Hermione smirking all the way.

Hours later, after most of the students went to bed Remus Lupin had been hunting for his best friend ever since his hair had cooled down enough. As he marched up and down Hogwart's hallways he saw Tonks leaning against the wall and studying the ceiling. Immediately forgetting Sirius he sidled up to her.

"Hey." He said and she smiled at him.

"Howdy."

"You look lonely." He commented and she laughed.

"No, just bored. I've been thinking about my potion so much lately i just want to take a break from it all, but sadly all i can think about is the war."

Remus' smile vanished to be replaced by a frown.

Everyone's thoughts these days were on the war. Nobody had heard from Voldemort in a few months and it was making everyone slightly nervous. Even Dumbledore had his worries.

"We cannot let out fears consume us." Remus said wisely and Tonks looked at him.

"How can you be so calm? You should be more nervous than all of us." She said quietly.

He knew what she was talking about. After years and years of poor treatment the Ministry had decided that werewolves could be an asset to the war. When Voldemort finally strikes, all werewolves were to report for battle.

He just smiled his sad smile and shrugged.

"Want to change the subject?" Tonks smiled and Remus laughed.

"Yes, please."

As they talked and walked down the halls of Hogwarts if they had walked left instead of right, they would have seen Hermione Granger making her way down the winding halls and to the kitchen. Tickling the pear and gaining access to the room filled with hundreds of house elves Dobby was first to her.

"Miss Hermione!" He squeaked and she smiled at him.

"Hi Dobby, would it be alright if i asked for some hot chocolate and cookies?" She asked and Dobby saluted her and ran off. She rolled her eyes, years ago Ron had made a comment about her SPEW tirade that actually made sense.

"Hermione." He had said. "When you go to the library instead of watching us practice, people talk. You love books, but it's frowned upon, but still, would you want someone to take that away?"

That was to be the first and last thing Ronald Weasley said that was even remotely deep.

As Dobby shoved her food in her hands and ushered her out of the room she took a sip out of the mug of hot chocolate and strolled down the hallways. It was past curfew, by hours at least, but being head girl did have it's advantages, if asked, she'd say she was doing her rounds.

As she rounded a corner and walked down the hallway, she found Draco Malfoy emerging from the shadows and promptly dropped one of her cookies in shock.

As she looked at him smirking at her she immediately looked for traps of some sort, anything that could point out his revenge which he had not yet did.

As he saw her frantic eye movements he rolled his own eyes.

"You seem a little nervous Granger." He smirked and she scoffed and tried to move past him, only to have him move in front of her again.

"Move!" She yelled but he wouldn't budge.

"Feisty, aren't we?" He chuckled and she glared.

"Where's your fan club?" She said making to move past him again but he was too quick.

"Nice try muddy, though maybe next time you should save your energy got more lame-"

Malfoy never even got to finish his scentance, the sound of a large explosion rounded off the walls and Hermione squeaked and jumped.

They looked at each other and stood still, each thinking the same thing;

What the hell?

"Come on."

Before she even had time to object Malfoy had grabbed her arm and pulled her into the shadows, just as well, as Peeves flew past moments later with his arms full of Dungbombs and heavy objects which he hoped to pelt at students.

"First years! Ickle first years!" Cackled Peeves and he whizzed down the hall.

When Peeves had gone, Hermione became aware that Malfoy was still holding her arm – Though a little less rough than he had been – and they were both pressed against a wall, her beneath him.

She blushed and tried to pull her arm back but he held it firmer.

"Let me go Malfoy!" She hissed and he smirked down at her.

Before she could push him with her free hand he had pulled her closer by the waist.

"No."

She rolled her eyes and smirked, an idea forming.

Fixing her expression she smiled coyly up at him through her eyelashes.

"Or we could stay here." She whispered and Draco raised an eyebrow.

"We could..."

He leaned his face into hers, and just as he was about to put his lips on hers;

She kneed him in the groin.

Grinning up at his pained face she skipped down the halls with a pair of eyes filled with pure hate glaring after her.

Hehe.
