"Draco?" I asked hesitantly, walking into his office. It was sometime in the evening that Blaise let me go, but I wanted to see Draco first. Sofia had already left so I just walked in.
He was looking out of his window; I walked over and hugged him from behind.
"It's time to end it, eh?" he said, turning to face me.
He looked like a mess. His hair was a mess, his eyes bloodshot and he faintly smelled of firewhiskey.
"What happened to you?" I asked, worried.
He shrugged and smiled painfully.
"It's nothing love," he said casually, but I could feel the pain in his words. I was about to protest when he walked away from me and sat down in his seat.
"If you want to know so badly, then here goes. I've grown really attached to you since we did the plan. No, it's more than that. Remember when I said I had sort of a passing fancy for you? Well, it's grown.. and I know you can't love me back because you're in love with me too, I know that, I just.. Letting you go is hard, but I guess I'll have to- seeing you'll be happy with my best friend."
"Draco.." I said helplessly, kneeling at his side.
"I don't regret doing the plan though, because it showed me just what it'd be like to be your boyfriend. Blaise is a lucky man."
I started crying, out of sadness that I had caused this much pain to him.
"Oh, don't cry," he said, slightly panicking, "I don't like crying girls much."
I had to laugh at that.
"And if it makes you feel better, I'll say I did the plan to clear my name in the wizarding world, which worked," he said a little smugly.
I smiled, and wiped away my tears.
"Come here love," he said, standing up and pulling me off the floor.
We hugged for the longest time, just standing there and savoring the fact that it was the last time we'd be with each other.
Then I realized that we'd actually been together. Even though we said it was fake, the feelings were real- I acted like a real girlfriend to him, and his feelings for me were real.
"I'll miss you Draco," I said softly.
"You'll be seeing me around," he smirked. "I think I just need to go on vacation for a bit."
I laughed. "Now you'll get to meet all the girls you want."
I felt him smirk. "They will never hold a candle to you- but oh well."
I smiled.
"Draco?" I asked hesitantly. "What about.. the ring?"
"I want you to keep it," he said. "Keep it as a reminder of this, the whole plan to get Blaise.. and of my feelings for you."
"But-"
"No buts, or I'll bite you," he smirked against my neck.
"Okay then," I laughed.
We let go, and Draco kissed me softly for a few seconds.
"Okay, now go to Loverboy," he smirked.
I laughed as I left his office, feeling much better about everything.

It had been a week, and I hadn't heard anything from Blaise. What happened? I had no idea what was going on, because Draco had gone on vacation. Harry and Ron were also at their wits' end, trying to stop me from obsessively cleaning or working so I wouldn't have to think of what was going on.
I sighed as I sat in my living room, listlessly turning the pages of Hogwarts: A History.
How could he make me feel so.. listless about reading my favorite book?
Oh yeah, he's Blaise.
I heard a key turn the lock of my front door, and saw Harry pop his head in.
"Hi Hermione," he said, slightly smiling.
I made a non-committal sound and turned the page yet again without even scanning it.
The world is going to start falling apart.
"Ron and I made this for you," he said, holding out a pensieve.
"Harry," I said, with my eyebrow raised. "How'd you know how to make a pensieve?"
He raised his eyebrow at me in reply.
"Of course I knew you wouldn't know how to make one," I sighed.
"Just look at it," he said encouragingly. I made a small huffing noise before peering into it.
I slightly gasped as I looked into the pensieve. How could they have known I missed Draco? Of course I didn't love him, but I cared for him and felt a bit sad.
I started laughing at the part where he jumped onto the tables and started kicking the food into people's faces. Harry looked relieved, and as the memory ended, he took out a vial and a note.
"And this is also for you," he said, handing me them.
Opening the note, I found it was in Draco's script.
Love-I know I shouldn't call you love anymore, but Blaise did when he had a girlfriend right? But he's Blaise, I guess. Anyway, this is something I made for you so you could watch again and again- if you get a pensieve. Enjoy!
Draco
Curious to find out what the memory was about, I looked at Harry for permission to pour it in, and he nodded.
Seconds after pouring it in, the memory on the surface immediately changed. But it was still.. Draco in a ballerina tutu?
This time, he was dancing to this song about peanut butter and jelly. Had he really lost his mind?!
It's peanut butter jelly time!!!
Peanut butter jelly time!!!
Peanut butter jelly time!!!
I started bursting into giggles when he started frantically looking around himself, all the while doing a step that looked like him raising his knees with his arms pumping.
now Where he at?

Then, because I suppose he didn't know what else to do, he did the banana's dance! He looked from side to side, while, making his hands do a 'rock on' gesture, moved his arms down and up, just like the crazy banana. I was laughing so hard; I was hanging onto the chair I was seated in. Harry looked red, like he was holding his laughter in. That won't last for long though, not with Draco dancing and singing like that!

As if things couldn't get worse, he then started looking from side to side, at the same time making a circular motion with his arms, like he was tracing a wheel's size.

Then he started doing the Robot, which made me laugh again. Where did he get all these moves?!

After the Robot, he did this moves where he made his head tilt to his right, with the whole of the right arm coming up to meet it and then down, all while doing a crazy Robot walk. That's when Harry started laughing; he quickly excused himself to the kitchen though.

This time, Draco decided to start breakdancing- or at least try to. I thought it was so miserable, so I shook my head at him. He made this sort of pouty face and then turned his back on me, sticking out his bum. I started laughing out loud again.
now break it down and freeze
take it down to your knees
now lean back and squeeze
now get back up and scream
"Oh Merlin," I groaned. "My sides are aching, please have mercy on me and stop his dancing!"
now Where he at?

Next he decided to do a cartwheel split, of all things!! He was able to do the cartwheel, but when it came to the split he only made it halfway, and got up cursing. I was laughing so hard, Harry came in again to see what was going on; only to leave with him all choked up with laughter.

I could tell he really thought of the funniest dances to do, just to make me laugh. What do you think he did next? The cabaret. He started kicking his legs up and down alternately, and ended up slipping because his ballet flats were too slippery.

To do a sissy walk, he decided to make like the Muggle models, even copying their pouts. I laughed at his funny faces, wishing I could just take pictures of them for blackmail.

He did the monkey walk next, swaying his arms in time with his legs, effectively making him look like an a blond ape. I couldn't help it- I fell onto the floor with the pensieve's contents sloshing around in the bowl, laughing so hard I felt tears starting to form.

Then he did some seventies disco- which I had no idea where he got them from! It was funny to watch though, and I saw Harry wiping his eyes in the kitchen doorway.
now walk walk walk walk

He then stood uncertainly for some time, all the while making funny faces. I suppose he was thinking of something funny to mock next.
throw the ball up swing that bat
turn your head back and see where it at

What did he do next? He did a cheerleader's dance, frantically kicking his legs up, arms sticking out to the tune. Then he did a cheer pose, and I laughed some more.

The song ending, he just ended it by panting really hard (what with all that exertion), and then grinned. A scary grin!
hold on hold on hold on hold on
"hey chip man what time is it?"
"i don't know what time it is ray low"
"it's peanut butter jelly time""
I was so tired from rolling around in laughter; that if Harry hadn't nudged me in the side I wouldn't have been able to hear Draco's message.
"Hi love! Don't worry about Blaise- I know what he's doing. For now, just take care of yourself, and maybe pretty yourself up- I know how you get in the mornings when I used to visit you," he said with a smirk. "I'll be around love! And when you do see Blaise, tell him I said hello. I have to go and take a long bath- all this exercise has made me, Draco Malfoy, sweat," he said in a disgusted face. "Bye love!"
The memory ended; I smiled at Harry, who nodded at me.
I just hope Blaise comes soon.
