Chapter 13

To Be Corrupt

"Come in."

The door of the office opened and McGonagall walked in. "You called Albus?"

"Oh yes, Minerva, please have a seat."

McGonagall pulled out the chair in front of Dumbledore's desk and sat down. Dumbledore paced around his office for a few moments before speaking.

"I presume you gave Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger their new assignment?"

"Yes Albus I did."

"Have they begun work on it?" he asked taking a seat in his chair and folding his hands on his desk in front of him.

"I'm not sure, but I told them they have enough time."

"Good, good. I do suggest however that they work before it's too late."

"Too late? I don't understand."

"Before the opening to stop the curse ends."

"The curse? Wait are you referring to the assignment I had them write in the beginning of the year."

"Precisely." He said smiling with the famous twinkle in his eye. "That is exactly why I asked you to assign it to them."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Dumbledore chuckled, "Minerva, Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger are exactly the people that can break this curse!"

"Sir! Are you suggesting the Malfoy and Granger become involved together in a relationship?"

"Exactly!"

"But Sir, that will never work! Those two hate each other! They are complete opposites-"

"You're forgetting of course that opposites attract." He smiled.

"I don't know Dumbledore. What makes you think a relationship between those two is even possible."

"I have a feeling it will."

November 15

I feel like I haven't slept well in a while, and I've been avoiding him and Malfoy. Yet I'm not sure why I have been avoiding Malfoy still! Damn I haven't even gotten to work on that challenge. Anyway back to what I was talking about. It's just not right, not right at all. I know I shouldn't be sad. This is what I've been meaning to do for a while…but let's be serious…he cheated on me. IT"S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!! He's supposed to be obsessed with me! How could he do this! I really did love him! Well maybe not the "in love" with him way anymore, but I did love him. Key word: did. I swear if it's the last thing I do…I will get him back for this. I will.

"A little envious aren't you Granger."

She looked up from her diary at the sound of the voice. Turning her head she saw Malfoy standing behind the couch in the empty common room where she was sitting. Rolling her eyes she turned back to her diary. "I'm not envious Malfoy."

"Right…" he snatched her diary out of her hand's and read out loud, "he cheated

on me, It's not supposed to be that way. He's supposed to be obsessed with me." He threw the diary back at her. She caught it quickly and snapped it shut. "I doubt anyone would ever be obsessed with you Granger, no matter how much you give them."

"Fuck off Malfoy."

"Watch your language Granger." He said as he walked and sat in the chair in front of her.

Hermione took a deep breath and put her diary down next to her. She sat back and looked out the window from her seat. November weather was settling quickly and the winds were chilly reminding everyone that winter was coming.

Malfoy slumped down in his chair and observed her. He examined the deep color of her eyes, her perfect eyebrow shape, the way her cheekbones illuminated her face, the perfect shape of her lips with their rosy color, the long slim neck, her collarbone, and the dip of her breast that was visible from her unbuttoned uniform shirt. He groaned silently as he felt his pants tighten slightly. He watched her face turn from the window to face him.

"What are you staring at?" she asked coldly.

"None of your fucking business."

"What did I say about you damn language Granger."

"Like you're trying hard to control it." She replied.

"Shut you're fucking trap." He said quickly. Hermione closed her mouth and stared at him, anger boiling within her.

"Look," she said choosing her words carefully, "we really need to get to work on the project."

He didn't answer, he merely looked at her. "So I was thinking, maybe we could get to work on it this weekend."

"No."

"No. Look I know you can't stand to be around me, and trust me I can't stand to be around you, but we need to get his work done soon."

"Granger shut your mouth for once. I can't work on it this weekend because I have to visit my father."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Why?" she asked her curiosity getting the better of her.

"That's personal."

"Oh."

"Yeah oh." He said standing up and walking toward his room.

"You're leaving?"
"Smart observation Granger." He said opening the door to his room and stepping inside.

A weeks passed, and I have yet to start on that stupid project. Well at least Malfoy is back, I sent him a not the other day to meet me in the library tonight. He better show up or I'm going to hex him so bad he's going to wish he were never born. Anyway I walked in on Harry and Padma in the library yesterday. I felt like throwing up at the site of them. I hate him. I swear I will get him back. I swear; I have a plan.

Hours later Hermione stood in front of her mirror dressing. She pulled off her uniform shirt and walked over to her dresser in her bra. Opening her drawer she looked through her shirts. She needed to find something that accentuated her features but wouldn't make it look like she was trying to hard. She pulled out a black tee with a scooping next. Pulling it over her head she took off her uniform skirt and pulled out a pair of jeans from her dresser cabinet and slipped into them. At her dresser she swiped some clear muggle lip gloss on and combed her hair. Walking across her room she grabbed her robe and pulled it over her outfit. Grabbing her bag from the floor she slung it over her shoulder. Opening the door to her room she exited it.

She froze however outside her bedroom door. Padma was sitting in the common room couch except she wasn't alone. Harry was sitting next to her. They were talking and from the looks of it they could not take their eyes off of each other. Hermione watched in disgust as Harry leaned in and kissed Padma. She watched as Padma wrapped her arms around Harry and pulled him down on the couch on top of her. Hermione rolled her eyes and walked into the middle of the room. Stopping near the door she turned around.

"Hey!" she said loudly. Padma and Harry broke apart and froze when they saw her, Harry was blushing furiously.

"Why don't you two just get a room!" she yelled before exiting the common room.

She stood outside the room in the library searching her pockets for her key. When she found it she placed it in the keyhole and pushed open the door. Once she stepped inside the room was suddenly illuminated. She dropped her bag on the floor and looked around and saw that Malfoy was not yet there. Walking across the room she stepped onto the platform in front of the window as she pulled back the curtain covering the only window in the room. Standing in front of the window, the moonlight covering her illuminating her features as she looked out into the dark sky. She unclasped the button of her robe; at the same time the door of the room opened and in walked Malfoy. He closed the door behind him and stood examining her. She looked at him making eye contact with him. As she stared into his eyes she removed her robe not breaking eye contact as she revealed her outfit. She stepped down from the platform slowly not breaking eye contact, she walked to the table and set down her robe; pulling out a chair she sat down.

"Well are you going to sit down, or are you just going to stare at me like that the whole night."

Malfoy smirked and sat down, "It didn't look like you minded very much."

"I never said it did."

"What do you want Granger?" Malfoy asked smirking and eyeing her suspiciously.

"Whatever do you mean?" She said smiling innocently.

"Granger-"

"I have a proposition for you Malfoy."

"Oh, and what would that be?"

"You dislike Harry don't you?"
"Dislike is an understatement, but yes continue-"

"Well I have a score to settle with Harry myself-"

"Because he cheated on you."

Hermione glared at him. "Yes."

"I figured, so what's your proposition?"

Hermione smirked slightly as she rose from her seat and walked over so that she was standing in front of him. His eyes followed her the whole time as she walked toward him.

"Well," she said slowly as she grabbed the arm of his chair and turned it so that he was directly facing her. "think about it Malfoy, who's the one person that Harry cannot stand." She stepped closer to him and knelt down in front of him placing her hands on his knees. She grinned as she watched Malfoy shift slightly as she slumped down and relaxed in his chair, one of his hands stroking his chin slightly as he watched her; a fire growing in his eyes.

"I think I can take a big guess."

"Good." She slid her hand up his leg "So I was thinking, I want to get him back bad. I want to make him sweat, and I want to make him scream. I want to make him wish he never did what he did. And I want to make him regret the day he ever laid eyes on Padma Patil."

Malfoy smirked, "Do Weasley and Potter know how provocative you can be?"

Hermione smiled, "Do you want to hear the rest of it or not?"

Malfoy smirked as he grabbed her hands and pulled her up onto him so that he was straddling his lap. "Please continue."

"Well," she reached up and touched his face, "I was thinking, why not get Harry back the same way he got me?"

"Are you implying what I think you're implying."

"So are you in?"

"What do I get out of this Granger?"

"The taste of sweet revenge of course." She said smiling. Moving backwards she got off him and stood up and walked to the other side of the table to her seat. "So what do you say?"

"Purely professional am I correct."

"Yes."

"And no touching right."

"Only while Harry's around, I wouldn't want to touch you anyway."

"You just did."

"That's beside the point Malfoy."

"Hmm, I don't think revenge is all I should get out of this."

"Well if you make this convincible, then that's not all you will get out of it."

"Brains and sensuality. A perfect combination."

Hermione looked at him and raised her eyebrow. "So are you in or not Malfoy? I don't have all day we still have to get working on this project."

Malfoy studied her, "All right Granger I'm in. But don't think for one second that I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this out of pure spite for Potter. Is that clear?"

"No shit Malfoy. So it's a deal."

"Deal."

"Good." She said smiling, "Now we should really get to work on this project."

Oh my god. I cannot believe I just acted like a total slut just to get Malfoy to go along with my plan. Damn! This better work. I swear. I want Harry to suffer so bad…well yeah you know what I mean. Well the project went well but all we really got through today was emptying out the boxes. Such fun. Well it's getting late and I'm really sleepy. I'm supposed to meet Malfoy at the library again tomorrow morning. Hopefully then we can start working on the plan…there's a Hogsmeade the day after tomorrow. Well I'm tired now. I better get some sleep tonight I don't think I can stand another night with out it.

A/N: well sry its so short, finals are really near and I got lots of studying to do and practicing for my choir final! Soo scared. Well school ends on the 10th so I'll try my best to update quickly once summer break starts.
