Muggle Studies

Thanks for all of the reviews! Ok now its time for Muggle Studies! Yay! Enjoy! (Oh and by the way someone reviewed and got the mystery person right ;)


Draco walked into Muggle Studies with a frown. He had always hated this class. It's not like he'll ever need something from that world that he doesn't already have. But seeing as it was required for one year and he had never taken it before, well he didn't really have a choice.

He walked to the back of the class and watched all of the other students come in. He looked up to see Hermione talking to Taylor and laughing. He rolled his eyes as they sat in front of him. He put his head on the desk.

'Great. A class with all houses,' Draco thought as professor Burbage walked into the classroom.

"First things first today, go and sit next to the person that you hate most I this class and it must be one boy and one girl," almost the entire class looked at Draco. He smirked then winked at Hermione. She scowled and shook her head at him.

"Sorry everyone but I LOATH mu— Granger the most," Draco said with a smirk.

"Not half as much an I loath you," Hermione said just loud enough for everyone to hear. She stood up and angrily stomped back to Draco's desk. He stood up and joking bowed to her as he pulled out her chair. She rolled her eyes and sat down then crossed her arms, refusing to make eye contact with Draco.

After everyone had a partner, only Taylor remained. He didn't really know anyone, therefore couldn't choose anyone and besides there was an odd number of people in the class.

"Oh you must be new! Well you may just join any group that you would like," professor Burbage said with a kind smile.

'Please don't choose my group. Please don't choose my group," Draco thought just before Hermione said,

"Here you and come to our group Taylor," she said as she waved him down.

"Well look at that. A group that consists of all of our new Heads. That should make an interesting project," Professor said as the classes faces turned from board to confused once she mentions the word project.

"Yesterday was just a review class, today is the start of your new project. You will be in pairs and start on your new family lifestyle project."

Everyone groaned.

"Yes, well don't get upset at me. Dumbledore actually requested for this particular class to do this project. He said that it would ensure more house unity, now that the war has ended. Anyways, you will be pretending that you will be engaged to your partner for the first week of class and then married for the next and then you will be graded on how well you harness how muggles act."

"Well who are you going to be Malfoy? A house pet?" Hermione asked so the entire class could here.

"What do you mean? I'm stuck being your Husband for a month!" Draco said angrily, despising her for just making him say it out loud.

"No, I'd much rather marry Taylor," she said with an innocent smile.

"Yea well I'd rather marry Wesel-bee!" He said with a smirk.

"That explains so much," Hermione said calmly as everyone in the class except the Slytherins laughed as Draco's face turned red.

Before he could respond with a witty comeback professor Burbage interrupted their little disagreement, "Fine then, Taylor will become Hermione's Husband while Draco can be her lover. This is actually quite a common muggle situation, Hermione will be cheating on Taylor with Draco."

Everyone laughed except for the three Heads who were in shock.

"Remember class you will be living in a different part of the castle and will have to room with your partner. I am giving you each a bracelet that is magically programmed to register feeling. There is also be a muggle invention called video cameras installed in each of the rooms, so that everyone thanks this project seriously, but not to seriously," She said as she glared at some of the guys, "And I trust you all know what that means."

For the rest of the class she went over rules, like each pair had to share a king size bed, they didn't have to act like a couple in classes and they have to sit with each other in the great hall.

At the end of the class when everyone was leaving she called for Hermione and Draco to her desk.

Hermione looked at Taylor and shrugged then walked to her professors' desk with Draco at her side.

"Well I was not planning on having a group of three but we will make this work. Hermione, you will pretend to like Taylor when he is around, but will make excuses and then go and spend as much time as you can with Draco before Taylor finds out. As for you Draco, you know that she has a fiancé but also knows that it is you that she really loves. And as soon as possible, Hermione will tell Taylor that Draco decided not to do this project and got an F," professor Burbage said as she looked at the pair of students who looked at each other then laughed.

"Wait your serious about that," she pointed to Draco, "Being my lover?" Hermione asked between laughs.

"Yea, I mean, me and Granger? Wait your being serious aren't you?" Draco asked as his laughter died down.

Yea I am and if you don't do exactly what I said… Well I assure you that you are going fail this class! Do you understand?"

"Yes," they said in unison as their heads dropped.

"Good and remember that you don't have act like a couple in classes. Now go on to your next class," She said as she waved them out the door.

Once they were in the hallway Draco snaked his arm around her waist. She smacked his arm and walked as fast as she could, trying to get away from him but with no avail.

"Oh come on Granger! We're practically a secret couple now," Draco said as he stepped in front of her causing her to stop walking, "Fine Malfoy. Fine. Think what you like just stay away from me," she said as she pushed him out of her way.

"Well I didn't know that you were so keen on failing," he said as he walked past her.

She scowled in frustration and stopped walking, "OK."

"Sorry," Draco said as he cupped his hand around his ear.

"Fine we'll do this, but if you even try anything… sneaky. I swear that I'll hex you into next Friday!"

"Can't wait," Draco said with a wink as put his arm around her shoulder.

She rolled her eyes as they walked to Herbology.

After Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts she explained the project to Harry, Ron and Ginny. They felt bad for her when she was rooming with Malfoy, and now she had to pretend to like him.

Hermione couldn't handle having to eat lunch with the whole love triangle thing so she just went to the kitchens. The house elves made her a salad and she thanked them and asked if she could spend the rest of the day in there.


It was about 9:30 when Hermione finally packed up her things and thanked all of the elves as she left for her common room.

She crawled through the portrait whole to find Draco reading by the fire.

He didn't even look up as he asked, "So where were you at dinner?"

"In the library."

"Hmm, well I'll be waiting for you in my room tonight," he said with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes and headed up to her room, knowing what he said had to happen unless she wanted to fail.


After explaining to Taylor that Draco refused to take part in the project, she insisted that she had to do more studying and that he just go to bed, because it could take a while.

He looked sad but agreed as he crawled into their bed.

Hermione closed the door and headed into Draco's room.

She put a spell on the room to make it sound proof just before lecturing Draco about having to keep his room more tidy.

Finally after at least two hours of pure fighting, the "lovers" settled into bed.

They both lay awake thinking the same thing, 'This is going to be the most painful month of my life'


Good? Bad? Review!
