I own nothing Harry Potter!

I'm not sure what happened the first time I tried to post this, but it didn't work. Here is what was supposed to be posted.

So, I got mixed reviews on the last chapter, sorry to those of you who didn't like it. Here is the twist last chapter was setting up for. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and constructive criticism, it really helps me to figure out where to go next.

Enjoy and sorry this update didn't work the first time around!

Hermione POV

Ever since Harry and Ron arrived at Slytherin at the start of the night, I knew Ron was up to something. I could tell he was only there to stir up trouble, that's why I wasn't surprised when I made my way back to the Slytherin common room and heard him daring Pansy and Draco to Seven Minutes in Heaven.

I wasn't surprised at all, he was hoping I'd walk in and overreact, little did he know I actually trusted Draco and I knew he wouldn't cheat on me. I knew he would stand his ground and even if he agreed to go in that closet with Pansy, he wouldn't do anything. He'd just get Ron off his back.

I also wasn't surprised at all when after some protest, Draco agreed to Seven Minutes in Heaven. I'd be lying if I said that the thought of Draco in there alone with Pansy didn't make me jealous, but I knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt me.

After the door to the closet closed, I caught Ginny's attention from the shadows by the entrance. Her eyes opened wide in shock as I waved her over. "I'll be right back," Ginny announces to the group and walks over to me. We stand in the hallway that leads to the common room as Ginny says, "What's up?"

"Ron needs to be stopped," I whisper, as I try to forget that Draco is alone in the closet with Pansy.

"He definitely does," Ginny nods in agreement. "I'm assuming you just saw what happened?" she asks as she looks over her shoulder at the room.

I nod. "Ron wants a scene, he'll get a scene," I say quietly. I'm going to give Ron the show he wants and it gives me an excuse to get out of here. "Follow my lead and get Draco to chase after me," I tell Ginny. As long as Draco follows after me, this plan will work out exactly how I want it to.

Ginny nods, "I'm on it," and heads back to the common room where everyone is standing. I stay hidden in the shadows until Ginny gets up to open the closet and Draco and Pansy walk out. Draco looks pissed and ready to get away from this group as much as I was.

I stepped out of the shadows and the moment Draco's eyes met mine he sent me a pleading look, a look saying he didn't do anything. Before I have a chance to send him a quick smile before I put my plan into action, Pansy threw herself at him. I'll admit it hurt to see her lips on him, but I knew it wasn't real because Draco shoved her off immediately and turned to me. "What the hell is going on here?" I ask, trying to sound outraged and it's not too hard because I am extremely pissed at Ron.

Draco's face falls at the my words, but he tries to reassure me, "It's not what it looks like," his voice is pleading. I can tell that he is trying to figure out how he can fix this.

"Fuck off Draco!" I yell, hating the look it puts on Draco's face, but knowing it's done the trick. I turn on my heels and race towards the exit before I can break out laughing. I'm not good at trying to remain serious when I know it's all an act.

Once I'm out in the corridor, I lean up against the wall across from the Slytherin House entrance and wait. I just hope that Ginny gets Draco to follow me and that he isn't pissed about what I'd just done. This whole scenario is really out of character for me, but I am sick and tired of Ron trying to screw things up so I need to take action. Right now he's probably satisfied as hell, well good for him. He thinks he's succeeded, but as long as I have anything to do with it, he will never succeed in breaking Draco and I up.

The door across from me opens and out comes Draco, his face worried and his hair a mess from running his hands through it. As soon as his eyes land on me he pleads, "I am so sorry Hermione, it's not—" I cut him off as I smash my lips to his.

"Shh," I say when I pull away; he is looking at me in complete shock and confusion. "I'm not mad at you," I assure him as I wrap my arms around his waist letting him know everything's okay.

"But…" Draco trails off, his grey eyes searching mine in confusion.

"I saw the whole thing," I explain. "I know you didn't do anything. Ron was looking for a scene and he got one," I shrug.

"You planned this?" Draco slowly asks as what just happened takes on a new light.

"Yup," I nod. "I wanted a reason to get out of there and saw my opportunity," I smile up at him, hoping he doesn't think what I did was too stupid or crazy.

"You are devious Miss Granger," Draco smiles down at me as his arms wrap around me and he pulls me closer.

"You bring out the best of me," I send him a teasing smile. "Let's get out of here," I say as I pull out of his embrace and grab his hand, pulling him after me as I make my way to my dorm.

When we reach my dorm, without any incident, I close the door behind us and Draco asks, "So you really just pulled one over on Weasley?"

"Yeah," I shrug. "We're going to find a way to get back at him, but first I have other things in mind," I raise my eyebrows seductively as I grab onto the belt loops of Draco's pants and pull him with me over to my bed.

His lips are on mine in an instance and we are falling back onto the bed. As Draco's lips travel over mine and our hands roam each other's bodies, I allow myself to lose myself in him and forget about everything else.

I know that I am going to have to find a way to get back at Ron, a way to get it through his thick head that he can try as hard as he wants, but he's never going to come between Draco and I. He doesn't seem to realize that I'm one step ahead of him, which is good because as long as I keep it that way I will have the upper hand. I am going to have to enlist the help of Ginny and possibly Blaise, but somehow Draco and I are going to get back and Pansy and Ron for the little stunt they pulled tonight. I'm not sure how we're going to do it quite yet, but I'll figure it out. For the time being though, I am going to push every thought of Ron from my head and lose myself in Draco.

Draco POV

I was lying on Hermione's bed with her wrapped in my arms. I was still trying to get my head wrapped around everything that had happened tonight. I went from thinking Hermione was completely pissed at me and that we were over to seeing that she had planned it all.

I was happy to know that she trusted me enough to know that I wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt her.

She was right; we needed to find a way to get Weasley back for this little stunt. It had been torture being in that closet for seven minutes with Pansy, she kept trying to throw herself at me and that kiss afterwards was awful. I was tired of Pansy thinking we still had a shot; she needed to move on…wait a minute. Ron needed to move on from Hermione and Pansy needed to move on from me…what if we found a way to hook the two up? That would solve all of our problems. As long as they were both too busy with each other, they wouldn't have time to set their sights on Hermione and I.

I pulled Hermione's sleeping frame closer to me as I ran over the details in my head. I think this may be our best solution right now, I'd run it by Hermione in the morning. If we could set the two of them up, maybe they'd stop trying to sabotage us, but first I'd really like to kill Weasley. I had a few choice words that I needed to have with him about this whole thing. He had crossed a line tonight and the sooner he realized that he shouldn't mess with me, the better. Weasley needed to understand that if he was going to keep challenging me, I was going to fight right back and I didn't lose, especially when Hermione was involved.

Thanks for reading! I'd love to know what you think.
