The "Secret Love Affairs" of Hogwarts…
Tangled love affairs everywhere.
Part 7
Scene Nineteen: Library.
Ginny: (Exasperated.) Hermione!
Hermione: (Counting.) Justin Finch-Fletchey…what?!
Ginny: You've been counting boys FOREVER! Just stop it and ask him later!
Hermione: Well 1.) (Ginny rolls her eyes.) Counting and checking off their names on a list is much more organized 2.) He won't tell me anyway, he'll just make me guess.
Ginny: But you've even been counting the professors, the headmaster, boys in the seventh year…people we don't even know!
Hermione: (Looks pensive.) It could be anyone, though…and I know I counted everyone in our year…
Ginny: Ron?
Hermione: (Sighs.) Yes.
Ginny: (Blushes.) Harry? (Hermione nods.) Even Malfoy? (Hermione nods and stops suddenly.)
Hermione: Malfoy! (Looks through her boys checklist. Sees Malfoy at the very bottom, unchecked.) AAAAAHHHH!
Madame Pince: SHHHHH!
Hermione: I gotta go! (Runs away fast.)
Ginny: Was it something I said?! (Books on the bookshelf behind move as Colin's face appears.) Whatever. (Colin's face stares at her back.) Okay, why do I feel like someone's staring at me? (Turns around as Colin ducks.) This is creepy…(Turns around again and Colin's grinning face reappears.) Arrgh! (Turns around fast and sees Colin try to duck.) COLIN?!?!
Madame Pince: SHHHHH!
Ginny: (Sneaks around the bookshelf.) Colin! Why are you spying on me?
Colin: I-I'm not spying! I was looking for a book!
Ginny: With your head squashed between the books?
Colin: Well, uh, you see…. (Ginny gets frustrated, drops a book on his head and leaves. Colin rubs his head.) Ahhhh, I think she likes me!

Scene Twenty: The Gryffindor Area
Hermione: (Stands in front of mirror holding pink book in dormitory.) Malfoy?! Draco Malfoy? Hmm, Pansy must have been feeding him crack. He couldn't possibly be the one who wrote these- these love poems! Hmm…(rubs head) I could have sworn these poems were written by Ron…I almost wish they were. (Loud bang sounds from the common room.) What the-! (Runs down to the common room.)
Ron: (Standing with a trail of smoke coming off of him.) Oh hey, Hermione.
Hermione: (Looks stunned.) What happened to you?
Harry: (From behind a barricade of chairs.) He tried to perform a charm that would make him look buff.
Ron: Shaddup, Harry! (To Hermione.) Forget he said that.
Hermione: Well…I believe him. You do look a little more muscular.
Ron: What? Really?
Hermione: Yeah, but don't try to look like your on steroids or anything. (Smiles.) I like you just the way you are. (Blushes and leaves.)
Ron: (Stands there looking dumbfounded.) ……
Harry: What's she talking about? You still look all skinny. (Comes out from behind the chairs.)
Ron: (Stands there looking dumbfounded.) ……
Harry: Anyways, did you hear that? I think she likes you, even if she was lying about the buff thing. Did you see her blush? I've never seen Herm look like that. Except maybe when Lockhart was around…never mind that though. (Ron turns around with an extremely happy look on his face.) Well! I think I'm going to go to bed now…(Heads up to boys' dormitories.)
Ron: (To himself.) Wow…

Scene Twenty-One: Outside the Great Hall
Malfoy: I wonder if my love ever figured it out…(looks around uncertainly) Crap! Pansy's coming!
Pansy: (Drags behind her a tied-up Blaise Zabini by the feet.) So, Blaisey-Waisey, since this weekend's a Hogsmeade weekend, I was thinking we could go to Three Broomsticks, just you and me. You know…(purrs)…quality time.
Blaise: (Cries.) What did I ever do to deserve this? (Hits his head.) WHAT'S WITH YOU WOMAN? You're gonna kill me!
Pansy: (Giggles.) Oh Blaisey-poo, you're so funny. (Heads into the Great Hall.)
Malfoy: I'm so glad I left her before she discovered the uses of rope. (Hermione comes up behind him.)
Hermione: Malfoy.
Malfoy: (Freezes and slowly turns around.) Whaddya want, Granger?
Hermione: Draco Malfoy…you were the one who wrote these poems.
Malfoy: (Blush starts to creep up from neckline.) So what if I did?
Hermione: The point is, Malfoy, you need to understand that I have no feelings for you, (in a sarcastic tone) sexy as you are, I'm not turned on unfortunately. I've got eyes for another man. (Malfoy stands there looking dumbfounded. -_-')
Ron: Hermione! C'mon, let's go to Hogsmeade!
Hermione: Coming! (Turns back to Malfoy.) Here's your book back. (Looks at him weird, puts book on his head and walks away quickly.)
Ron: What took you, Herm?
Hermione: Nothing. Let's go. (They walk out hand-in-hand.)
Malfoy: (Takes book of his head and pouts.) Bye-bye my sweet. (Sighs.) I guess I won't be needing this thing anymore. (Starts singing.) I'm all alone, there's nobody here beside me…
A/N: Omigosh, omigosh, it's DONE! *falls over in shock* Well, the majority ruled. Ron was the winner…
BUT! Since the author is a Draco fan at heart, she will write an alternate ending to this lovely story where Hermione ends up with Draco. How's that? I'm such a genius! *yah, that's why it took you all that time to come up w/ the idea* *shaddup*
Anyways! You can still look forward to seeing another ending with Draco if you're a Draco fan or if you want a few laughs.
