In Hell with: Draco Malfoy
Chapter 11
Dirty
Dirty glares shot back and forth between people. Snarles and insults were ready to spit out of all the mouths. It was only five minutes in to the dance and everyone was already having a bad time. Hermione sighed it could be worse. Maybe they were better off with the dirty looks then actually talking. At least no fights had sprung out, yet.
Malfoy shifted his body weight and went a little closer to Hermione. Of course he didn't mean to do this, but it seems Ron thought differently. Ron starred Malfoy down as he tore a piece out of his chicken. Malfoy noticed this and a grin appeared across his face.
He waited a few seconds before his plain sprung into action. Malfoy shifted himself so that his waist and Hermione's were touching. Hermione turned her head and starred at him oddly, but Malfoy didn't care. The only thing that was on his mind was Ron's reaction.
"Don't you think you're getting a little to close?" Ron snapped.
Malfoy looked Ron in the eyes. "Are you implying something, Weasley?" Malfoy said smoothly. Ron just shook his head and went back to eating. Malfoy saw that Ron didn't loose interest in what Malfoy was doing. Malfoy yawned. He stretched out his arms and laid one on Hermione's back.
"What are you doing?" Hermione looked at him.
Ron put down the chicken bone that he had been gnawing on for the past few minutes. "Yeah, Malfoy, what are you doing?"
Malfoy's grin that he was well known for spread across his face, wider then ever. "She is my date." Ron twitched. Malfoy tried to hold in his laughter. Malfoy made his hold on Hermione even tighter then before. Hermione tried to push away, but Malfoy kept his hold on her. Ron clenched his fists together.
"Malfoy, you're hurting me." Hermione pleaded.
"Shush." Malfoy whispered in her ear.
Ron lost his anger. "Let go of her Malfoy."
"Or what?" Malfoy tempted.
"Stop before I end the date." Hermione commanded.
Malfoy laughed. "We are on the date. It doesn't matter if you end it now. I've already one." Ron was infuriated.
"Let go of her."
By now the whole table was watching in. The Slytherins watched with delight. They knew exactly what Malfoy was doing. This was all very entertaining to them. On the other hand the Gryffindors were utterly confused. Why was Malfoy hitting on Hermione? Why was he even touching her? In the whole History of Hogwarts and Slytherin and Gryffindor never even hugged.
"I think I might give her a kiss." A disgusted look came across Hermione's face. She was so shocked she didn't know what to do. Malfoy leaned in to kiss her keeping his eyes on Ron. Right before he was able to reach her lips pain shot threw his head. Malfoy fell backwards off of the table landing on the floor.
"Mr. Weasley!" Dumbledore yelled. "What do you think you are doing?" Ron looked away from the fallen Malfoy.
"He was, he was…" Ron tried to explain.
"On a date." Malfoy finished.
Dumbledore frowned. He looked at Ron. "I'm sorry to say this but you are, ah how should I put this, 'fired' from perfect duties."
Ron was shocked. Dread spread throughout his entire body. "But Professor you don't mean..?"
"Yes I do." That was all he said. He went back to his seat. Ron sat down. He was still shocked of what happened. Zabini helped Malfoy out from the floor. Malfoy went and took his place next to Hermione.
Suddenly almost the whole table burst into laughter. Ron's whole face went red. Harry patted Ron's shoulder. He looked at Dumbledore pleading for help.
Dumbledore rose from his seat. "That is enough!" he shouted. There was silence instantly. The food on everyone's plate disappeared. Dumbledore took a breath in. A fake smile appeared on his face. "Dinner is over! Let the dance begin!"
Everyone stood up from there table. Once everyone was off the tables flew to the side and the Great Hall instantly became a dance floor. Surprisingly people were dancing, but unsurprisingly it no one was with there dates.
Hermione turned to see Malfoy still laughing about what he had done. "You're a bloody git." Hermione said to him.
Malfoy stopped laughing. His whole face went serious. Zabini, who was standing right next to him waited for his reaction. Malfoy opened his mouth. "And you're a bloody bitch." The two boys spontaneously went back into laughter.
Hermione just turned around and stormed away. What a bloody asshole. How could anyone be that rude? Hermione told herself to forget about him. There were more important things to worry about. She searched the room and found what she was looking for in a corner. She walked over towards him. "Ron it will be okay."
Ron looked up. "No it won't, Hermione. Do you know how much trouble I'll be in if my mum finds out? I have disgraced are family name! That's what she will say. I was only trying to protect you, Herm…"
Hermione sat down next to Ron. "I know Ron, but you have to understand. I can protect myself. I am as old as you, so it's not as if I'm a baby. I don't want you getting into trouble because of me."
Ron shook his head. "It's not that. I guess I was just mad." Ron paused for a minute. "It's just not right, you know? Only two days ago he almost killed you, know he's got his arms all around you. I don't like it. He's not even worth a minute of your time."
Hermione smiled. She gave Ron a hug and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Thank you Ron, thank you." Ron smiled and put his arm around her. They sat there a few minutes before Lavender came over.
"I'm sorry for what happened." Ron just shrugged. Lavender's eyes turned towards Hermione. Hermione got the hint.
"I've better be leaving now. I have um something to do." Hermione smiled at Lavender as she got up from the floor. Lavender returned the smile as she took Hermione's spot.
Harry smiled when he saw Hermione walking over towards him. "So glad you could join us." Harry said eyeing his date, Ella Hurst. Hermione saw that he was incomplete misery.
"Um Hurst, do you mind if I steal Harry for a minute?"
"Be my guest," she snapped.
Hermione took Harry by the hand and dragged him over a few feet before they started to talk. "Thank you," Harry said.
Hermione smiled. "No problem. I was just over by Ron and he was still mopping around."
Harry turned his head and looked over to ware Ron was sitting. "Doesn't look like he's miserable." Harry smiled. Hermione stood on her tip-toes to see over the heads of the crowd. When she looked Ron had a big smile on his face. Him and Lavender where cuddled up in a corner.
"Hopefully he will forget about it for this one night." For a while Hermione and Harry just stood there in silence.
Harry broke the silence by saying, "Hey do you want to dance?"
Hermione nodded her head. Harry took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor. The two of them wrapped there hands around each other and slowly moved back and forth to the beat.
"Having a good time?" asked there favorite Red-headed boy.
Hermione looked over to Ron and smiled. "Of course."
Harry looked around nervously. "How much longer do you think until they do that dance thing?"
"It's supposed to be a surprised." Lavender looked over to Dumbledore. He was chatting with some of the teachers.
Harry had a disgusted look on his face. "I can't believe they're forcing me to dance with that thing." Harry said nodding his head towards Hurst.
Hermione chuckled. "At least you don't have to dance with the ferret."
"True," Harry said, "Very true."
It was about an hour into the dance and the four friends continued to have fun on the dance floor. After one of the songs the music stopped. All eyes turned to Dumbledore dreading what was coming next.
Dumbledore stood up. "I have decided to give everyone a five minute warning. So all of you find your dates and head to the dance floor!" Dumbledore smiled as there was an immediate stampede of people looking for there dates.
"O crap," Hermione said as she searched the room. Where could he be? Hermione ran up to the table that held drinks and snacks and stood up on it. Out of all the confusion she knew no one would notice. She looked over the Great Hall. There was no sign of him anywhere.
"Three minutes!" someone shouted. Hermione jumped off the table. If he's not in the Great Hall then he has to be somewhere outside of it. She ran threw the doors. She saw a group of Slytherins huddled in a corner.
Hermione cautiously walked up to the group. "Excuse me." They turned and looked at her. "Do you know where Malfoy is?"
The group started laughing. "Malfoy? Why would a mudblood like you be looking for..." Coons stopped short. "Oh you're that Granger girl."
"Just tell me where he is."
Brinkerhoff grinned. "He's outside, better watch your self he's plain drunk and when he's drunk he gets very nasty." The group laughed again. Hermione could tell that they were all drunk. She felt sudden pity for all of there dates.
Hermione ran outside. There was probably only a minute or so left. Hopefully Dumbledore won't mind if she was a minute late. Hermione looked around she saw a figure moving around. It seemed as if it was walking around in circles. It must be Malfoy.
Hermione ran over towards him. "Malfoy!" she yelled. "We have to go back inside."
Malfoy turned his head. He had a dazed grin on his face. "Hello" he said seductively. "Now what's a pretty woman like you doing in place like this?"
Hermione sighed. He plainly was drunk. Hermione went to reach out for him, hoping that she could drag him back to the Great Hall. Malfoy stepped back. "Not so fast," he smiled. "I'm not going to go until you give me a kiss."
Hermione glared at him. "You are being ridiculous."
Malfoy frowned. He turned around and ran. Hermione sighed and ran after him. She followed him to her special spot that she had almost drowned in a few nights ago. Malfoy ran to the edge of one of the rocks.
"What are you doing?" Hermione yelled. She was really getting annoyed now. She was only in her dress and it was freezing out. To make it worse it was starting to snow.
"I'll jump if you don't kiss me." Malfoy yelled back to her.
"Get over here right now!"
Malfoy took a step closer to the ledge. Hermione was worried. What if he slipped? Even wore then that what if he really did jump? "Not until you kiss me!"
Hopefully he was joking. Hopefully when Hermione said yes he would come over there lean in for the kiss then right when there lips met he would yell, "Gotcha!" Then Hermione would start to laugh out of relief. Hopefully that's what would happen.
"Fine," Hermione grinned her teeth together. "I'll kiss you. Just come over here."
Malfoy smirked. "You come over here."
"Are you crazy?" Hermione looked at him blankly. "We'll both probably fall."
"That's a risk I'm willing to take."
"Well I'm not." Malfoy shrugged. He turned towards the icy cold water and bent his knees. "Wait! Stop!" Malfoy turned around and looked at her. "Fine I'll do it." Hermione carefully walked over to Malfoy. She took her time looking at the ground not wanting to slip.
When she got there she stood next to Malfoy. Malfoy wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He bent his head and whispered into her ear. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
Hermione looked up at him. Before she realized what was happening his lips met hers and both were embraced into a forbidden kiss.
"What the bloody hell…" Hermione pulled away from Malfoy and turned around. Her eyes widened as she saw who had murmured those words.
"Ron…" she whispered.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Ron spat at Hermione. "I hope you haven't forgotten that you have a boyfriend."
"It's not what you think. Ron he's drunk. He was going to…"
Ron cut her off. "Save it for when you tell George about this you dirty whore."
Tears filled Hermione's eyes. This is what she did for doing a good thing? But was it really a good thing? Was Malfoy's life worth more then her relationship with George? Hermione shook her head. It was to late now. She can't take back what she had done.
"Why don't you listen to the women?" Malfoy spat. He pushed Hermione aside and walked up to where Ron was standing.
"Oh now the all noble pureblood ferret is standing up for the mudblooded whore." Hermione jumped. She wanted to break down and cry right there. She never thought Ron would say such awful things about her.
Malfoy took out his wand and pointed it right a Ron's heart. "Say another thing about her and I will make you wish as if you were never born."
Ron turned his head away from Hermione and looked at Malfoy. Ron went to pull out his wand when he realized that it was in his school robes. "Shit," he murmured to himself. Malfoy grinned he poked the wand into Ron's chest even harder then the last time.
"Come on say it. We all know you want to." Malfoy tempted him. Hermione just stood by watching. She wanted Malfoy to hurt him. She wanted to see Ron in pain. He was her best friend for six straight years and he ruin everything in a matter of minutes. He didn't even give her a chance to explain. A sudden hatred for Ron built up inside of her.
"Get that away from me," Ron said pushing Malfoy's wand away from his chest. "That stick's useless on me but I'm sure Hermione wouldn't mind if you used it on her."
That was it. Malfoy didn't even need to turn to see the hurt expression on Hermione's face. "Deray!" Malfoy shouted.
Ron trembling fell to the ground with a sudden scream. His skin started to burn, but there was no fire. Ron rolled around on the snow. Suddenly Hermione saw what was happening. She ran forward and pushed Malfoy out of the way.
Malfoy stumbled. Hermione moved towards Ron. She bent over and leaned next to him. He was still shaking from the curse Malfoy had put on him. Hermione saw that he had slight burns on his face. Ron opened his eyes when he realized that everything was over.
He quickly got up. He turned his head towards Hermione. "You'll pay for that." He turned around and ran towards the Great Hall. Hermione turned her head to see where Malfoy was. When she spotted him he was lying on the floor, passed out.
Hermione walked over and sat next to him. "You drunk bastard," she murmured.
