Ginny was starting to wonder whether Blaise had found Draco or not and if she should just go back to her dorm, when the portrait door swung open and she and Hermione turned around and saw the boys strolling in. Ginny stood up and walked over to Blaise. "I thought you forgot about me." She said before kissing him.

"Never." He smiled. "Just talking with my friend here." He slapped Draco on the back.

"How's it going Draco?" Ginny asked with a hesitant smile.

Draco shrugged his shoulders. Grunted, and then walked upstairs and shut his bedroom door. Hermione sighed and looked up at Blaise from her seat. "He's still mad then?"

"Not about what you think. But I wouldn't worry about it."

"What is he upset about?" Ginny asked.

Blaise gave a sideways glance at Hermione, who was lost in thought, then whispered to the girl on his arm. "I'll tell you later."

"We should get going Hermione. See you at dinner?"

"Huh? Yeah sure." Hermione waved them off as she leaned into her chair.

A few hours later Draco glanced out of his bedroom door to see if Hermione was still in the common room. He didn't see her and made his way to the portrait door. Then he jumped as a voice from the shadows called his name. "Hermione?"

"Can we talk?" She asked as she walked into the fire light.

Draco sighed and put his hands into his pockets. "Right now?"

"Yes."

He sat down by the fire. "Fine talk."

"I think I've come up with away for us to get a divorce."

Draco straightened up. "How?"

Hermione sat across from him. "Well first I thought about telling them that I was pregnant with another mans baby, then they would let us get divorced and when they found out I wasn't pregnant it would already be to late. But they would probably suspect that as being a lie and make me take a pregnancy test."

Draco smirked. "That's too bad. I would have loved to see the look on their faces when their precious Hermione tells them she's really a slut."

Hermione gave a slight smile, "I would've liked to have seen that to."

He was surprised at this. "Don't you like being perfect in their eyes." He said with malice.

She narrowed her eyes at him. "You don't know anything at all about what I like and dislike. Do you really think I, or anyone for that matter, would like to be seen as all good and nice? The expectations are too high. It's too much to handle. I'm just like every other teenage girl out there." Draco just stared at her, unable to think of anything to say. She sighed and shook her head. "Let's just get back to my plan. I was thinking the instead of trying to find ways to show them how much we don't want to be together, we could find away to turn them against each other. Make it so they don't want anything to do with each other. You know, turn them against themselves."

"That's a very viscous, disgraceful, devious plan, and I love it. But it won't work."

"And why not?"

"Because my parents and yours are best friends. They went to school together, they had a double wedding, and our mothers even planned it so they'd be pregnant around the same time. They are too close; they know every bad trait, every personality flaw. They would sniff out what we were doing in no time."

Hermione was baffled, "How do you know all this?"

"My parents told me all this stuff shortly after they told me we were married."

"Why was I never told?" she said softly.

"Because your parents know how much you hate my parents."

"But you hate my parents-"

Draco cut her off sharply. "No I don't. I've never said a bad thing about your parents. It's you I don't like, not them."

Hermione didn't know what to say. She always assumed Malfoy disliked her parents as much as she disliked his. But now that she thought about it, it was true, he never even mentioned her parents. "Sorry. Sorry for assuming things about you. I guess I don't know you as well as I thought I did.

"Whatever it's fine. We just need to come up with another plan."

"The only other thing that I could come up with was for us both to find someone else to marry. If we both came to them saying we were in love with some else, someone we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with, there's no way they'd say no."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that. If they know we're not in love and they're still forcing this on us, I doubt they'd change their minds just because we wanted to be with someone else. They'd say no."

"We won't let them say no. We'll tell them that no matter what we're going to be with that person. Even if it means having affairs with them. Both of our families are big social icons. I doubt they would want such a big scandal to get out."

Draco sat back and thought about all this for a few minutes. "You know this might actually work. But I don't have anyone I want to marry, do you?"

"Well no. But it wouldn't have to be a real marriage. If we could just get a friend to go along with it, it should work. Once the divorce is final we wouldn't have to marry anyone, and now that we are old enough to know what we are doing, there would be know way that they could force us to remarry after they find out it's all a scam."

"But that still leaves the question on who we get to go along with it. I really doubt we could use a friend. I mean think about it, your two closest guy friends are Wonder Boy and Weasel, I'm sure your parents would have noticed if you were in love with one of them. Plus everyone knows you three are more like family then anything else. And I don't really have any friends who are girls," Draco smirked. "Well not if you don't count friends with benefits that is."

Hermione wrinkled her nose in disgust, but ignored it. "That's true I wouldn't be able to use Harry or Ron, but I'm sure I could bribe someone into it. And I doubt any of your sluts-"

"Hey their not sluts," Draco smirked. "Sluts get paid. They do it for free, so their more like charity givers."

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever, I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you out. You're the most desired guy at school, you won't have a problem."

"Am I?" Draco leaned forward and said in a heavy voice. "Does that mean you desire me?"

"I will hurt you." Hermione growled.

Draco laughed, "Calm down I was only joking. But it is kind of ironic that the only girl in school I can't have, and don't want to have, is my own wife."

Hermione smiled, "Just more proof that this marriage would never work. There isn't even a sexual attraction."

Draco thought to himself for a second. "You're a virgin aren't you?" he gave a wicked smile.

"What?" Hermione blushed. "We should get back to the plan."

"You know all the guys at school have been wondering how goody-goody our head girl really is."

"You boys should think more about your studies and less about sex."

He ignored her and went on. "I mean it's weird to think that you would be anything else but a virgin. So tell me?"

"This is ridiculous; we should be talking about the plan."

"Just tell me."

"Why do you want to know?" She damned in an irritated voice.

"Just curious. So tell me."

"Forget it."

"Nope I can't. Now that it's in my mind I just have to know."

"Since when do you care what I have and have not done?"

"Like I said it's just curiosity. Plus it's not like being a virgin is a bad thing and it's only bad to have sex when you sleep around with everyone and treat it like its game."

"Like you do?" Hermione snapped.

"I'm not as bad as you think. I don't sleep with every girl. There are other things you can do besides sex."

"Why are we talking about this? Can't we just go back to the divorce?"

"Why is it so hard to tell me?"

"Since when have I ever told you anything?"

"Good point. But still I want to know."

"Why is it such a big deal?"

"Like I said before, a lot of people, girls included, have thought about that question. I can't really explain why, but people just want to know."

"Well people should mind their own business."

"People can't help themselves."

"Well they should try!" She snapped.

Draco leaned back with a smirk, but then something dawned on him. "You're not a virgin are you?"

"What? Why would you-"

"You wouldn't be making such a big deal about it if you were. You have had sex haven't you? That's why you don't want to talk about it; you don't want people to know."

Hermione didn't know what to say. It was true, she wasn't a virgin. But the only one she had ever told was Ginny and that was right after it had all happened. She sighed, "Why couldn't you have just left it alone?"

Draco was speechless; it was so hard to think of Hermione as sexually active. "So I'm right?"

Hermione leaned in her chair; she was baffled on how this conversation had led to this. She never talked to Draco about anything that had to do with her personal life. "Yes you're right. But I swear if you tell anyone about this I'll…I'll forget about the plan and you'd be stuck married to me forever."

"Like I would talk about you." He smirked. "So all those times you gave me shit for sleeping around; you have done the same thing."

"Don't be absurd. I've only been with one person."

"So who's the unfortunate Hogwarts student that had to go through that? It was the Weasel wasn't it?"

"No one you know."

"No wait it was that Kyle guy wasn't it?"

"I told you, you wouldn't know him."

"I'm sure I would've seen him around."

"No you wouldn't have. Because he doesn't go here-"

"Victor Krum!"

"No you fool, it was a muggle!" Hermione was so irritated she could have clawed out Draco's eyes with a blunt spoon.

"So...how is it that the whole school doesn't know about this. No secrets are safe at Hogwarts."

"Because only one other person knows about it, and I would like to keep it that way Malfoy."

"Why? It's not like it's a big deal. In fact I think a lot of the guys would be happy to hear that."

"It's just something I rather not talk about. It didn't exactly turn out great."

"How do you mean?"

"Not that you care Malfoy, but I was tricked. I was tricked into thinking someone was in love with me and then after he got what he wanted he left me stranded at a hotel an hour away from my house and with no money. Alright now you know. Are you satisfied now!?" She picked up her cloak and stormed out of the common room.

Draco sat there for a second just staring at the place Hermione was sitting. Then he shook his head and ran after her. The corridors were dark; the only means of light were the candles on the walls. He saw her cloak disappear around a corner and he sped up. When he got to her he grabbed her by her arm to stop her. She whipped around; he could tell that she was angry and that she was forcing herself not to cry. "I didn't know. I thought it wasn't going to be a big deal. I shouldn't have pushed you about it."

"Stop acting like you care. Just last night you were yelling and bitching at me. So don't pretend like you're sorry."

Draco ran his hand through his hair as he stood there uncomfortably, "Look I have respect for women, I told you last night that I don't think girls should be pushed around or used. So I do feel bad for pushing it." When Hermione didn't say anything he went on. "Look it's time for dinner, how about after we eat we go back to the room and go back to talking about the plan, and we'll just forget this ever happened."

"That's not so easy for me. I don't like the fact that you know this about me. Plus you'll probably tell all your friends and-"

"I'm not going to say anything alright? Like I said I'll just forget it ever happened. So after dinner back to the plan ok?"

"Whatever." She yanked her arm away from him and left for dinner.

What a mess. Draco thought to himself as he to went to dinner.

"How's it going?" Ginny asked as Hermione took a seat next to her. Ginny saw Hermione's face and placed a hand on her arm. "What's wrong?"

Hermione told Ginny everything. "I shouldn't have let him provoke me."

"Well it really is something people talk about. I mean you're the perfect student and gorgeous. So they know that you can get a guy, but they don't know if you are too much of a good girl to actually do it. I understand his curiosity, but he shouldn't have pushed it."

"There's nothing to do about it now. I can't take it back."

When Draco sat next to Blaise, he didn't say anything; he just started loading his plate with food. Blaise looked over at him with interest. "What's up with you? Hermione do something to piss you off again?"

"I did something to piss her off."

"Isn't that usually something that brings joy to your heart?"

"I just wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did."

"What happened?"

"She let something slip out that she's been hiding from everyone and I don't know it was something she really didn't want anyone to know about."

"So now you feel bad?"

"I guess so."

After dinner was over, Hermione and Draco went back to talking about the big divorce plan. "There's really nothing else to discus. At least not until we both have someone to go along with the plan." Hermione said in an off voice.

"Alright, then I guess we'll make plans after we find our people."

"Fine." Hermione said, then she started walking up the stairs.

"Hey." Draco yelled after her. "Sorry."

Hermione just looked at him for a few seconds before she went to her room and shut the door.
