A/N: I'm pretty much over my writers block and I've got my ideas together again. Thanks for sticking with me!!
Chapter 13: Played
Hermione sat in Transfiguration daydreaming about Draco when she heard her name being called.
"What?", she asked dazed. Some people snickered.
Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes. "See me after class.", she said.
Hermione nodded and went back to daydreaming.
When the bell finally rang she made her way up to Professor McGonagall's desk.
"Ms. Granger I see that you and Mr. Malfoy are getting along well.", the professor commented.
"He's wonderful.", Hermione said dreamily. She twisted a piece of her hair. She had a far away look in her eyes.
Professor McGonagall sighed. This girl was farther gone than she thought.
"Listen.", she said.
Hermione broke out of her trance and looked at the professor expectantly.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. Better to just say it. She thought.
"He's playing you.", she said abruptly.
Hermione's eyes hardened. "What?", she asked coldly.
"He's on a mission from You-Know-Who." The professor explained, "he's supposed to use you to get to Mr. Potter."
Hermione felt like a ton of bricks hit her. I don't believe this!!!! She screamed in her head. She suddenly felt like punching someone. And that someone is Malfoy.
"Snape told me about it.", Professor McGonagall said, "And we have thought about this and decided that we can use this to our advantage."
"Meaning what?", Hermione asked bitterly.
"Mr. Malfoy may know some things that Snape doesn't",
"And I have to get this information out of him.", Hermione asked.
Professor McGonagall nodded. "You are to do whatever it takes.", she said.
Hermione nodded. She was still heartbroken but she knew that if she found out what happened in this meeting it would help the Order greatly.
As she watched Hermione leave the classroom Professor McGonagall sighed. She had thought that they could bring the young Malfoy to their side, but the Order had other ideas on what to use this relationship for or more specifically did.
Snape had actually told her that Malfoy had quit his mission and so far Voldemort hadn't found out. And they had no reason to believe that Malfoy knew anything that Snape didn't.
seemed to have a different motive when he suggested this idea to the Order. She thought.
She shrugged off the thought and started to grade papers.
Hermione tore through the halls tears streaming down her face. She stopped in front of the portrait to Gryffindor tower.
She practically screamed the password and ran in.
She found Ginny on the couch in the Common Room.
Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have class?"
"Don't you?", Hermione asked.
"Free period." Ginny said.
"Oh."
Hermione sat down next to her. They were the only two people in the Common Room.
"Malfoy?" Ginny asked.
Hermione nodded. She sat by Ginny and told her what Professor McGonagall said.
"That prat!", Ginny said.
"I know! I trusted him! And all this time he was just using me.",
Hermione started to sob but then she stood up.
"There's got to be some other explanation.", she said.
Ginny stood up too. "I think I know what it is.", she said.
A/N: Was that better than the last chapter? My thoughts are more together and I know where I'm going with this. I know that there hasn't been a lot of romance in the past few chapters but I promise there's some coming up so please review!
