Chapter 10: Where's Pansy?

Hermione whispered the password for Gryffindor, Locomota, and stepped inside quietly too. She didn't want to be seen because her eyes were sore. She'd had to leave Gryfferin and Draco as well. She still had him as a friend, but they hadn't stopped her sobbing in the girl's lavatory for the past few minutes. She'd miss him and his cheekiness, sure she had Ron to take care of the jokes part. Except there was something about her friendship with Draco which was different to Ron's. Sure she and Draco had slept together, but it wasn't just that. They were more heartfelt feelings then that. Hermione sighed with confusion, she didn't know. She and Draco knew their 'friendship' would be weird anyway. They'd have to pretend to hate each other, but secretly be friends. They wouldn't be able to meet up either, before they had Gryfferin for that.

"Hermione!" Hermione shuddered when she heard Ginny shout her name. She glanced up to see Ron and Harry quickly leave the boy's dormitories and bolt down the stairs.

"Hermione you're back." Ron hugged her and Harry did the same. "So how was it living with Draco?" Ron asked jokingly. Luckily they'd forgotten about the whole 'hermione must have a crush on Malfoy' drama. Though Hermione now secretly thought it to be true.

"It was all right. We barely spoke to each other though, just avoided each other mainly." Ginny scoffed behind Hermione. "He only visited me at the hospital because we were supposed to sort out the feud between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Unfortunately for him he had to act." Ron and Harry laughed, Ginny went up to Hermione and whispered: Liar. Hermione just smiled and laughed with the boys, but she couldn't help but guiltily blush at Ginny's comment. She knew there was a reason why she wouldn't tell Ginny about 'Dramione'.

Draco wandered back into Slytherin yelling, "I'm home!" and the rest of Slytherin cheered. He went over to Daphne and Blaise. "The plan didn't go as planned, but Granger and I have decided to become 'friends' don't worry, i have another brilliant plan." Draco smiled slyly at them, but Daphne glared at him.

"Pansy's being a traitor so that's why she's not here. Let's just say I took care of her." Daphne winked. "Either way, what's this great plan of yours? Fall for Granger, oh wait no you're currently in the middle of that plan." Daphne teased. Draco scowled at her.

"Look, we've decided to become 'friends' - Granger and me - so I say we let her into our group." Daphne dropped both her arms. "And then Daphne you can take care of her as well once we've gained her trust. Where is Pansy anyway and what did you do with her?" pansy smiled at him.

Pansy remembered being knocked out by someone. When she woke up she found herself chained to a pipe in one of the lavatories. When Moaning Myrtle appeared Pansy could guess what had happened to her. "I saw Daphne GreenGrass and Blaise Zabini carry you in here and chain you to that pipe." Myrtle laughed. Pansy struggled to get free. She had to tell Hermione she was wrong about Draco and that he was falling for her and that it was actually Daphne she needed to look out for. Pansy had to get out of here.

Hermione walked into Charms class smiling. Harry and Ron weren't taking Charms, but Draco was. She'd have time to talk with him before the Quidditch match tonight, hopefully. Luckily there were a small number of Slytherins in her Charms class and there were mostly Ravenclaws there. They had a substitute teacher, who Hermione didn't recognise, so she went to sit next to Draco. "Hi." She said, staring at the teacher and putting her bag on the floor. The teacher was writing something on the board, but no-one in the class was paying attention. Everyone was either talking or sleeping.

"Hey." Draco said with a wink. Hermione felt herself blush and giggle. "You going to quidditch tonight?" He said, waggling his eyebrows. Hermione chuckled at his pathetic attempt at flirting.

"Yes, but I won't be rooting for you." Draco raised one of his eyebrows.

"Really?" He lent his face next to hers, Hermione stared straight into his eyes as he said: "I thought we had chemistry." The teacher cleared his voice and the two moved away in an instant. Not that he'd noticed them, he was staring at two other students making out int he middle of the classroom.

"Today students, your professor isn't here. I have written the work they've set for you on the board." he gestured behind himself. "And you should get on with it if you don't want any homework." He turned around and headed for the desk, where he closed his eyes, put some headphones in his ears, then just sighed.

"Well, then." Draco said, opening his textbook finding page 347. "What have you been up to in Gryffindor?" Hermione shook her head.

"Everyone's been asking me about what it was like to share a whole dormitory with you. Ron and Harry have been a little better around me though." She shrugged, then turned to him. "You?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"They all moaned at me about you, then Daphne was moaning about Pansy and..." He stopped talking, then turned slowly to Hermione. "Where is Pansy? She takes Charms, she's in our class! They said last night that they 'took care of her'" Hermione caught her breath. Pansy? 'Taken Care of'? Oh this wasn't good. It was all Hermione's fault! if she hadn't have been so stupid to sleep with Draco Malfoy in the first place none of this would have happened! "Hermione?" Hermione realised she was crying now, and Draco handed her a tissue.

"This is all my fault." She sobbed, Draco sighed, realising no-one else in the room was looking at them or doing the work. Their teacher was fast asleep it seemed.

"Don't say that." Draco told her, handing her another tissue. "Listen, he's asleep over there. Why don't we go and find Pansy?" Hermione raised her eyebrows and stopped crying.

"Really?"

"Really." With that, they snuck off to find Pansy.

Sorry it's so short! it's just that I'm quite busy this weekend, next chapter will be finding pansy/the quidditch match!
