By the time spring rolled around, people were still unaware that Hermione and Draco even spoke to each other anymore. They were hiding it well. Until one night in April.
Hermione was on her way to dinner in the great hall, thinking about how drao had something special planned for their evening. So at first she didn't recognize them, though they were everywhere. But as Hermione looked up to see what the clock on her right said, she saw the big red signs. She saw the black words that spelled out her doom, and Draco's.
"THINK HERMIONE GRANGER AND DRACO MALFOY NO LONGER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH EACHOTHER?WRONG!WE'VE EVEN ADDED PICTURES OF THEIR HOT,SECRET ROMANCE!"
Hermione gasped in horror as she saw the poster suddenly switch to hundreds of pictures. Hundreds of pictures of her and Draco. Hermione was outraged, she took about fifteen minutes trying to pry the horrible poster off the wall. But nothing worked, magic or no. and by the time she'd given up, there was a small crowd behind her.
She scowled at them all and then ran all the way to the great hall. Hopefully not too many people were there yet and she could talk to Draco. But to her utter annoyance, everybody who attended Hogwarts seemed to be there. And she knew, as she walked to the slytherin table, that they'd all seen the posters.
Not wishing to cause anymore gossip, she did a complicated bit of magic with her wand and froze everyone in the room, except for Draco.
Draco, who'd been eating his dinner and talking to blaise, knew instantly when the room froze around him. He looked up to see Hermione running towards him, and he stood and met her at the end of the table.
"what's going on Hermione? Why did you freeze everybody?"
Hermione, who was red-faced with anger said,"theres .of us."
Draco let slip a curse that made Hermione hit him on the arm.
"sorry! I just-I just thought we were keeping the secret well-hidden!"
"I know! But what do we do!?"
"Hermione, we have to pretend like we don't know what anyone is talking about. We have to be rude to each other, go back to how we acted last year. We have to."
Hermione looked worriedly at him. What if, when they started "fighting" again, Draco really started to feel that. What if he meant the mean things he said to her? But Hermione shook her head and nodded.
"ok Draco. Go sit back down so I can go back to the door and unfreeze them."
Draco nodded, but instead of going back to his seat, his leaned down and kissed her. After kissing him back for several minutes, Hermione pulled free and ran back to the door. And he ran back to his seat.
Hermione unfroze the room and allowed people to watch her walk to her seat at Gryffindor table.
The person following them watched from the doors leading into the great hall. But not being in the room, he wasn't frozen along with everyone else. He continued to spy on them as they ate and made their way back up to their room,seperatly of course.
Hours later he met her again. Though this time it wasn't at the top of the Astronomy tower, it was in one of the empty classrooms.
"Hermione and Draco are both furious over the signs. Hermione froze everybody in the great hall so she could talk to Draco without everyone whispering and wondering what was being said."
"they've come up with a plan to get everybody to go back to thinking nothing is going on?"
"yes, they're going to start acting toward each other as they have for the past six years. Before they started dating."
"agh,interesting,very interesting. This is what we are going to do…"
And they started conspiring against Hermione and Draco's plan. Needless to say, nobody was going to have any doubts about who was lying and who wasn't. they'd make certain everyone knew about the relationship between the two.
Both people went their ways several hours later, both exhausted and ready to go to sleep before the sure-to-be busy day they were about to have.
Hermione and Draco woke up at the same time the next morning, got dressed, and discussed the first "fight" they were about to have.
Later that day in potions class, snape paired everybody up and Draco and Hermione together. that's when the mayhem started. Hermione "accidentally" pushed Draco into the desk as they were getting up to go get their ingredients, and Draco turned to glare daggers at her.
"what do you think your doing granger!? Pushing a pureblood!"
"oh shut up ferret! You may be a pureblood, but your still an idiot! To bad daddy's money couldn't buy you a brain!"
"well at least my brain isn't so big it overlaps every other part of my body! And that's saying something, beaver!"
Hermione flushed, and though he knew he only said it because of their plan, her temper soared. She said something so derogatory that snape sent them both to the headmaster. They went, still "bickering" at each other until they were out of earshot of the dungeons. Then they hid in an alcove for a minute.
Needless to say that when they finally reached Dumbledore's office door, Hermione was still trying to straighten her hair back into it's usual messy do.
