Chapter 10

Authors note: So I'm planning on writing a one shot so that's exciting. But honestly I have nothing else to say. Enjoy? Have a great weekend and maybe watch some Harry Potter movies.

Oooo

Hermione was one of the last to enter the carriage. Aside from Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Lavender a few other random students were sitting with them. Quickly Draco jumped through the door and took the only open sit, besides Hermione. Everyone was looking at him in such shock.

"Oh come on. Can I not share a carriage with the BoyWhoLived, the weasels, and my filthy little mudblood"

No one commented, they just continued on with their conversations. Hermione however had gone completely stiff ignoring everyone else. He said "My mudblood" not the mudblood not just mudblood he said my. No one else would have noticed but she certainly had.

Hermione insistently relaxed when a few of Draco's fingers creep on her hand. She hadn't realized how deep in thought she was.

Oooo

Everyone stood trying to exit the carriage. Quickly before anyone else could notice and also stunning Hermione at how fast he was he whispered in her ear "Wait last to get out of the carriage"

She didn't object and continued to sit there. When it was he turn she was able to get up but right when she took a step she fell out of the carriage and into the snow on her butt. Malfoy stepped over her winking while laughing and walking away. She felt so clumsy today.

The rest of the morning went ok; she hadn't fallen yet again. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Lavender and Hermione had gone to a few stops here and there. Hermione kind of felt left out. She didn't have a boyfriend to bring and she made the group number odd.

Hermione decided to go into an empty quill shop while the rest of her friends went into the candy shop. Mainly Ron's idea. Malfoy however witnessed Hermione enter the shop and didn't want to miss the show.

She continuously walked up and down the rows before coming to a stop in front of one. She carefully picked up different quills and ink bottles before putting them back again. Upon taking a step she lost her balance and grabbed the shelf for support. Big mistake it immediately started to fall on top of her as she stood their helplessly.

Malfoy witnessing the whole scene stopped the book case from falling. It wasn't until he saw her frantically using her wand and hands to fix the ink and quills before shoving them into their right compartment that he started to laugh. Her hair had gotten really puffy and she was clearly scared she broke something.

She noticed him and her cheeks starting rising in temperature. She continued to clean the mess as his stupid laughter filled her ears. It wasn't until she stormed past him that he noticed her practically growling. Someone was mad.

Oooo

Hermione and all her friends decided to head for some butter beer before going back to the castle.

She sat on the inside of a booth next to Ginny and Harry. Ron and Lavender being on the opposite side. It would have been very awkward if she sat with them instead.

The rest of the drinks were finished. They all shared many surprisingly pleasant conversations while drinking. It wasn't until they wanted to leave that there were problems.

When Hermione tried to take a step out of the booth she toppled over and landed on a waiter. Breaking and spilling 5 glasses of butter beer on them. Aside from her friend's laughter she looked over to sure enough see Malfoy joining in. He was practically dying that so many times before today.

Hermione quickly helped the waiter up and used her wand to clean the mess and dry both of them off. She walked off the carriages saying sorry to the waiter one last time. Why on Earth had she kept falling all day.

On the carriage ride she hadn't stopped moving her feet in fear that she once again was going to fall over and or out of the carriage.

However, she did not.

It was three hours until the Halloween dinner. Hermione went to the Room of Requirements while Ginny, Harry, and Ron went to a quidditch practice before dinner.

Oooo

Hermione settled down on the middle of the couch like she's done so many times before. Reading like normal. An hour later Malfoy strode in sitting in the chair next to her.

"Granger can you do me a favor"

She didn't remove her eyes from her book "And what is it"

"Can you hand me that book over there"

"And why would I do that"

"Because you are my Gryffindor princess and you wouldn't want your big bad Slytherin prince getting mad"

Hermione flashed her book a smile before standing and taking a step. It failed miserably and landed on top of Malfoy. The weight on the back of the chair however was too much and they went toppling over. Hermione landing on Draco.

Draco was laughing when she fell on him and when their chair came crashing down. However, on the fall he wrapped an arm around Hermione's waist pulling her closer in a protective way.

Once they were on the floor she tried to remove herself. Draco's grip was too strong. He pulled her further down and whispered in her ear "Do I make you nervous Hermione"

She tried to get up again, his grip tightened. Reluctantly he loosened his grip and brought her over to the couch. His arm still around her waist pulling her close.

"They why do you keep falling" he continued "If it's not for my stunning looks maybe magic is involved"

She pondered his statement for a minute. Suddenly her hands flew up to her mouth as she gasped.

"You didn't"

"Ah, I did"

"All day I was falling because of your stupid hex. I made a foul of myself all day"

Draco's grip tightened as he whispered into her ear "Revenges a bitch"

"Whatever I can just remove it now"

Draco gasp playfully "Do I know something little miss perfect doesn't"

"Go on"

"The spell can only be removed by the wand that cast the spell"

"Crap" Hermione flung for his robes on the floor. When his wand wasn't there she flung herself on him. Mounting him once again. Her hands ran up and down his surprisingly frim torso. He noticed, she let her hands linger for a moment too long.

"Like what you feel" His normal smirk plastered on his face.

"Malfoy give me your wand"

"No Granger" he continued "You just have to make it through the Halloween feast." Draco sat up repositioning Hermione who was currently in his lap. "Jerk" she whispered into his chest.

Oooo

One hour later Hermione sat down at the Great hall Gryffindor table. CRAP. The only way up was to fall. Ugh she might as well enjoy the food and feast while it lasted.

Oooo

Everyone had left but a few people.

"Hermione you coming"

"No you guys go ahead; I'm just going to be a little longer" They left without question.

Only 10 students and Dumbledore remained in the Great hall. Malfoy watching Hermione with a big smirk plastered on his face.

Ok Hermione you got this. She slowly rose. Trying to remove one foot - CRAP! She fell face first on the ground. Her foot kicked the table causing pie to fly up and land on her head.

Laughter broke out. It was that bloody git Malfoy! Hermione walked over infuriated. He ignored her and continued to laugh. Quickly she grabbed the pie from her head and spread it all over his face.

Malfoy sat there stunned.

Hermione turned to walk away. "Granger" When she turned around a bowl of jelly hit her square in the face.

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were officially in a food fight. The 8 other students had fled the scene in hope of not being hit. Dumbledore left with a twinkle in his eye. "Ah house unity"

The fighting continued until they stood there out of breath staring at each other.

Hermione walked forward and grabbed Draco's tie pulling him down to her level. She quickly liked the pie from his lips. "Granger what do you -"his face collided with another pie.

His tried to storm away furious before quickly turning around and grabbing Hermione around the waist.

She looked up. Two huge jugs of pumpkin juice and a few pies levitated over them. Stupid wordless magic.

"Malfoy no they'll spill on you to" She was trying to break from his grasp.

"I'll take the chance"

He pulled her closer.

"Malfoy stop looking at me like that"

"Like what"

"Like your about to eat me"

Malfoy only smirked as he pulled Hermione closer.

"Git"

"Hey! Have you already forgotten about" He pointed up to finish the end of his sentence.

Draco pulled Hermione over to the table. He leaned against it as he positioned her between his legs.

"I said stop looking at me like that"

He couldn't help it. His grip tightened before he dove for her lips. Loving the sensation he got every time they meet. She tasted so sweet he rather enjoyed kissing her. Suddenly the juice and food spilled all over them. Hermione gasp as Draco chuckled into her lips. Hermione slowly pulled away as Draco whimpered like a child.

"Draco no" Oh he loved the way she said his name. He got goosebumps every time. He tried to pull her closer for another kiss but she was to smart and removed herself from his reach. "Jerk"
