A/N: Hello, Hello everyone!

I did not get the 105, and I wasn't expecting an update so soon, but my BFFL, Franny, helped me come up with an awesome idea, so I guess I felt like I should update before I forget it all.

Instead, this time, since we are at 94, I'm hoping to get that 105 :) Can we do it?

Here's the new chapter!

Draco POV

As I got out of bed the next day, I was thinking about what Blaise had said.

No. I do not like her. I will NEVER like her.

I shook my head a couple times to try to clear the thoughts.

"What's wrong, mate? Lice?" teased a voice.

"Yes Blaise. Of course." I replied sarcastically.

"Well, in that case, I think you should shower more." he said, leveling with me.

"I really hate you." I told him, slapping him uptop the head.

"Good. So you're still a Slytherin." he said, grinning.

I couldn't help laughing. "So what do I owe the displeasure?" I asked him.

"Ouch. That bites. Anyway, I was thinking about ways to get you up in the game. That is, if you aren't so emotionally attached to her that you don't want to hurt her in any way." he said, challenging me.

"Of course not, Zabini. Let's hear it." I said, rubbing my hands together.

Hermione POV

As I was walking to class, people kept staring at me, and then whispering, and by the time that I got to Potions, it was really pissing me off. What the hell are they talking about?

"Merlin, Hermione!" said a voice, running up to me. It was Ginny.

"What?" I asked her.

"I can't believe that you actually did it! But I mean, I'm surprised, but I'm still happy for you! And it's still really surprising, but I mean, I'm there for you, and if-" she babbled.

I stopped her. "Wait what? What the hell ARE you talking about Ginny? What did I do?"

"What do you mean?" she asked me, confused. "Everyone at Hogwarts has heard about it!"

"ABOUT WHAT?" I screeched. I was getting worried.

"That you kissed Draco Malfoy."

I was dumbstruck and speechless. I was sure there was a shocked expression on my face.

Did I hear her correctly?

"P-Pardon?" I asked her.

"You kissed Draco Malfoy." she repeated.

"What the hell? Where the hell did you hear that?" I screamed.

"Um, I heard Blaise talking about it, and Neville and Harry told me." she said.

"Oh Merlin, I will personally murder whoever started that." I said, through clenched teeth.

"Come on, Hermione! It's ok!" she reasoned.

"No, it's a total lie!" I screamed. "I never kissed him!"

"Oh..." she said, her voice faltering. "This is awkward."

I was so angry. I looked behind Ginny to see a certain boy with almost whitish, blonde hair standing with a couple of other Slytherins.

I stomped past Ginny, and headed straight towards the guy.

"Draco!" I hissed.

"Yeah, babe?" he asked me, smirking.

"Do you want to tell me why the hell people keep saying we kissed?" I shrieked.

"Why?" his face looked innocent and disbelieving. "Because its true!"

My eyes opened wide. "What the hell are you doing?" I hissed.

"Just telling everyone the truth!" he said. He suddenly leaned in close to me. He put his thumb under my mouth and the rest of his fingers on my chin. "Shall we give them a demonstration?" he asked, smirking.

I jumped away, my face completely red. "No!"

He just laughed. "Relax, 'Mione. And by the way, I believe I'm winning at this point." he said, grinning. He turned around, stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked off.

What he said suddenly made sense to me. HE started that rumor.

"DAMN YOU DRACO MALFOY!"

Draco POV

As soon as I rounded the corner to where Blaise was stifling his laughter, I heard a loud "Damn you Draco Malfoy", that was most likely caused by my darling girlfriend, Hermione.

I silently did a fist-pump.

"Blaise, I owe you."I said, fist pounding him.

"Don't bother. That was the most amusing thing I've seen in a while. Which is really good, considering all those times these days. In fact, it even beats you coming to my room telling me that you almost wore Lin-" I interrupted him.

"Um, thanks, but I honestly don't need to hear that again." I said.

He chuckled. "Hey, I have a question."

"Shoot." I responded, fiddling with my wand.

"What was with the almost kiss?" he asked.

"What do you mean? It pissed her off, and that was the goal." I told him.

"Yes, but that wasn't in any part of the plan." he reminded me.

I shrugged. "I take advantage of the situation."

"So you're saying that it would've been better that you kissed her?" he asked me, raising one eyebrow.

"No, what the heck? You're twisting my words!"

"Nope. Just speaking truth." he said, smiling.

My face twisted in disgust. "Now you sound like a Gryffindor." I teased him.

He punched me, and we headed off to class.

But the thought kept lingering in my head.

Did I want to kiss Hermione Granger? Oh Merlin, I hope not.
