"Your Joking... Right?"
Chapter 15: Opposites attract
Ginny stood looking at her former best friend, embarrassed and a little nervous, all Hermione was doing was staring at her and boy did she feel stupid.
'Wow, she hates me!' Ginny thought.
Hermione didn't really know what to say, Ginny just jumped to conclusions so easily that it thoroughly annoyed her, yet again she had always been her best friend, she could tell Ginny anything.
"Of course Gin!" Hermione said, jumping to her feet and hugging the red-head, who looked relieved, "just don't be stupid next time"
The two girls broke apart and Ginny turned to her best friend,
"Oh I won't and im really sorry" she said, beaming.
Both took a seat, Ginny next to Blaise and Hermione across from them.
"Where's Draco?" Blaise asked.
"No Idea, he was talking to Dumbledore" Hermione replied.
"About what?" Blaise threw her a perplexed glance.
"Oh you know, the Voldemort thing."
Hermione had told Blaise about Voldemort and assuming he had told Ginny, they both knew what happened.
"Oh" Ginny said.
'Told you' Hermione thought.
Ginny snuggled her head into Blaise's shoulder, "So any plans for tonight?"
"Well I have some homework to catch up on and I must study..." Hermione was cut off.
"Oh please Hermione, we have got to celebrate your safe return."
Hermione smiled, "What do you have in mind?"

The trio made their way to the Head's Room after dinner, they said the password and entered the empty common room.
"Wonder where Draco is?" Hermione asked.
"Still talking to Dumbledore?" Ginny put-in.
"For this long?"
"Maybe"
Hermione took a seat on an arm chair facing the fire, Blaise and Ginny took the couch.
"I really don't think he would have this much to talk about" Hermione said, staring into the flames.
At that moment Draco walked into the room, looking a little, worn, he grinned when he saw his 3 friends sitting around the fire.
"Hey guys, waiting for me?" he asked cheekily.
"Of course" Blaise smirked. "Where have you been man, got your girl here all worried" Blaise said, gesturing to Hermione who's cheeks were a solid red.
"I was not worried"
"Oh puh-lease" Blaise rolled his eyes in a girly-manner, he then said in a high-voice, very un-Hermione like 'Where's Draco, Oh my gosh where is my poor Drakie-Poo?"
Ginny rolled off the couch laughing, "You sound like Pansy, not Hermione" she said in-between giggles.
Draco was sniggering, still standing by the portrait hole, "Pansy is much worse" he muttered.
"Yes, besides, I said nothing along those lines, I was just curious as to where he was" Hermione replied, cheeks still a faint pink.
"Sure" Blaise said.
Hermione stood up, "Im hungry, I didn't eat anything in the Great Hall" she made her way up the girl's staircase and into her dormitory, she peeked her head back out the door a few seconds later.,
"Oh and Gin, I suggest you start moving your things back before curfew."
Ginny beamed and dragged Blaise off to help her pack.
"Sure thing, Hermione"
This left Draco alone in the common room, he strolled across the room and up the guy's staircase, intent on meeting someone for dinner.

Hermione quickly changed into her pajamas and then headed into the kitchen for dinner, as the portrait hole opened she noticed a familiar blonde head of hair, his back facing her. She quietly but quickly snuck up behind, as she was about to cover her hands over his eyes he snatched her wrist, Hermione let out a squeal of shock.
"Gotcha, think im that stupid?" he smirked, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not" she laughed, taking a seat "You ruined my fun though" she pouted.
"Well sorry, here's something that will take your mind off of that" he leaned across the table and kissed her, softly but sweetly. Hermione kissed back, then pulled away
"That sure does the trick" she laughed, "now if you will excuse me, I do not need to be caught making out with my enemy, my reputation would be ruined." she joked, but Draco missed the sarcasm.
"Well sorry" he rolled his eyes, glared at her, then dramatically made his way across the room, slamming the portrait and all.
Hermione raced across the room and banged on the portrait, much to the 2 boys dismay in the portrait who were both glaring at her and rubbing their faces
"Gee, problem missy?" asked the younger boy in the portrait
"Not concerning you, Huck" she replied, for she had read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" before and knew the story. "Come on Draco, I was joking, you know the act of saying something but not meaning it, or..."
The portrait opened "Okay, walking dictionary, I get it, you didn't mean what you said." Draco smirked. 'She thinks I took her seriously' he mentally laughed.
"You take things to damn seriously" she clasped a hand over her mouth "Oh my gosh I cannot believe I said that, Dumbledore will give me detention if he has this room bugged, Draco! What if he takes my badge?" she asked, panicking.
"My gosh 'Mione, you didn't say anything wrong." he laughed, "One little word, no big deal, now what the bloody hell is 'bugged'?" he asked curiously, causing Hermione to laugh.
"Never mind, you are so illiterate!"
"Illiterate?" Draco asked, raising his eyebrow even higher.
"Stupid" she laughed.
"Am not" he said, lunging across the room and tackling her to the ground.
"Draco!"
He tickled her until she almost died of laughter.
"That was NOT funny" she giggled.
"Then why are you laughing?"
Suddenly both portraits opened to let in a happy-looking Ginny and sullen Blaise, both pairs of eyebrows shot up as they found Draco and Hermione in a 'ahem' compromising position.
"What, may I ask, is going on here?" asked Ginny, arms crossed now standing next to her boyfriend."
"Err.." was Draco's response.
"Nothing" Hermione said, shoving Draco off and jumping to her feet, "Ferret here knocked me over as he came running into the kitchen looking for Blaise. She glared at Draco, who caught on and glared right back.
"Ugh now I have to clean my new robes"
"Uh huh, sure..." Ginny said, rolling her eyes and crossing to take a seat at the table.
"Now, who's hungry?" Blaise asked, shooting Draco a look and sitting next to Ginny.
"Me, im starved" Hermione said, sitting on Ginny's other side.

Hermione made her way to Gryffindor Common with Ginny, who was lagging behind a fast walking Hermione
"Bloody Hell Mione is this a race?" Ginny said, slightly disheveled.
"I have got to see Harry and Ron" Hermione replied.
"I know!"
Hermione reached the fat lady's portrait a minute later,
"Oh good to see you dearest, how are things as..."
Hermione cut her off "Yeah, Yeah, 'Brave heart'" she stated the password.
"Very Well"
Hermione made a mad dash into the common room, Ginny following moments later, she took a look around the room and immediately spotted her best mates sitting by the common room fire, heads together.
"Probably copying homework" she thought to herself. She quietly tip-toed over to the couches and was just about to jump on the two when Ginny suddenly shouted in a loud voice
"Hi Harry, Ron"
Both boys turned to find the source of the noise when a disgruntled Hermione popped out from behind the couch shouting "Ginny why did you do that?"
"Hermione" Harry said, jumping out of the couch and catching one of his best mates in a hug, "Where have you been?"
"Yeah Mione, long time no see" Ron said, blushing so deeply, his cheeks matched his hair, which was saying something.
Hermione laughed and wrapped Ron in a hug next
"Oh great to see you to!" she beamed at the pair.
Ginny walked up and also gave the boys a hug, a little reluctant with Harry, Hermione noted and then flopped down on the soft, velvet couch
"So what are you boys up to?"
"Nothing much, wizard's chess" Harry grinned "Want a round Hermione, we know you love the game"
"I hate that game and you know it" she grinned.
"I'll play" Ginny piped up.
So the game ended up Ron verses Ginny. The 4 were soon joined by Dakota and Max, Max next played the winner, Ginny, who beat him by an easy 10 points.
"You cheat" he accused
"I do not, I, unlike you, know how to play" Ginny fired back, Max went into a tantrum next about how he did so know how to play the game, causing the others to ignore him and recover there seats on the couch.
"So Dakota, how are your classes going?" Hermione asked her sister, who sat on the couch next to her.
"Alright I suppose, but Snape is dreadfully horrible, the slimeball" she said in a distasteful manner. The four laughed at her choice of words.
"She really is your sister Mione'" Ron stated.
"Yup she is"
Dakota told them all about her classes so far, she mentioned Max quite a lot, Hermione noted.
"What is it with you and Max?" she asked her sister.
"Nothing, he's my best friend, im only 12 gosh Hermione you should know that" Dakota said sarcastically.
"How could I forget" Hermione grinned.
"Anyways off to bed I need to get my beauty sleep" Dakota sighed, slipping off the couch and up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.
"Maybe she's not so much like you" Ron replied 'Beauty Sleep'?
"She is the good-looking one in the family" Hermione grinned.
Hermione ran up the stairs after her little sister, to say goodnight then came back down a moment later and excused herself and Ginny saying she had to get to sleep and her and Ginny made their way back to their dorm, Ginny still bugging her about her and Draco.

The girl's had went to sleep almost immediately after returning to Head Tower, but now, hours later, Hermione lay wide awake having second thoughts.
'I can't believe I just rushed into things with him, I mean he's my enemy, he couldn't have changed that quickly'
'But he did'
'He can be just acting'
'What would be the purpose?'
'He still dosen't like Ron or Harry!'
'But he likes you and Ginny'
Hermione argued with herself like this for a while until she finally decided she would have to talk to Draco, see how he felt, if he was confused also, she would break it off, easy as that. She turned on her side and dug her head deeper into the pillow.
'But what if I don't want to break it off with him?'
Hermione sat up in bed, this scared her even more, had she fallen in love with the boy already? She fell back on the bed once more, confused now, more then ever.
'You no what they say, opposites attract' was the last thing going through her head before she fell into a deep slumber.
(Okay guys, that was chapter 15, 16 is completed! Yay! I will post it soon! Anyways, hope you liked this one, I figured I would bring back Max and Dakota for old time sake. I know some of you did not like the ending of this one, but things are going to have to be bumpy! Anyways leave me a review!)
