CHAPTER SUMMARY: Just read on (hehe too lazy to make summaries)
NOTE: Sorry for the late update.. hope y'all enjoy it! R&R!
She needed a major supply of oxygen right now, no make that oxygen and some aspirins.. or a goodnight's sleep for a week and then she could wake up on her 1st year when everything was normal.. how could she had been so dumb. Of course it was Ron.. Who else in the world could it be? Its not as if anyone else would have that much interest to kiss you. Mixtures of emotions surrounded her heart, not knowing if she's suppose to feel upset, annoyed or what.. on the other hand it seemed flattering that he would go to all measures just to kiss you… but still…
"1…2….3….4.." someone said nearby .. she turned to catch a glimpse of Draco hands on his pocket wearing black robes that made his platinum hair stand out.. who stood a few feet away from her. She ignored him and went back to her thoughts, wasn't really in the mood for anything that has to do with him.
"7…8….9…10…11…12.." obviously someone is being an immature twit again..
"15….16…17. 18…19….20."
"WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?" Hermione snapped out loudly
"it took you approximately 20 seconds to notice that I was staring at you.." He replied his eyes twinkling down at her..
"What do you want?"
"Nothing… It doesn't necessarily mean I came here to talk to you.. so don't flatter yourself…"
Hermione stared at him unbelievably, she couldn't believe that anyone could be capable of being such an annoying weirdo.
"Yeah whatever…" she muttered getting up from her seat to go back to the common room.
Draco looked intently at her. It was a lot of fun taunting her, especially seeing the way her lips twitch in that manner. And the funny way she tries to raise an eyebrow to look irritated, and obviously without much success…
"Wait up.." he said blocking her way so that they were now face to face with each other.
"Please Draco.. please?" she said looking up at him. He smiled… taking pleasure in every passing second as she looked more and more fed up, her eyes darted from his eyes down to the bruised lips and he consciously licked them..
"I accidentally bit into them.. I do that sometimes.." He saw her eyes flicker at it another moment then she quickly looked away.
"Im not asking and I don't care.. Why aren't you in your regular clothes anyway? Is black a new house color? Or are you just being such a big pain they gave you your own house to govern?"
"You still don't know me huh? I wear what I want to wear.. and in case you forgot my parents just died a month ago.. black for mourning" He said looking away, trying to stir the conversation somewhere else. Swearing that she was up to something as she stared to his lips once more..
"Oh…. Yeah…uh.. Im sorry really…" Hermione muttered feeling suddenly sorry that she had made such a sarcastic a comment. "But I don't really see you actually mourning for them!!"
"Well you know what they say.. its nice that I've known them.. and I'm thankful that they have taught me something.. people come and go.."
Hermione stared at him with wide eyes.. she couldn't believe her ears..
"And black's my favorite color.." He added smiling widely as if dismissing the topic just as it came.
"God! You're impossible!"
"Well just in case you wanted to know.. or would you like to be on familiar terms with me up close and personal?.." He said in an not so convincing gentle tone.. clearing his throat.. he wasn't really used to speaking in a gentle way, the sound was new to him.
She remained quiet, lips set on a thin line, as if deep in thought.. uh-oh.. that's not a good sign.
"So.. pretty cool scene you set earlier in the dining Hall huh? What was it about anyway?"
"Im not dumb Draco.." she muttered "Next time you decide to raid someone in the library slam them on the wall and pull a prank on them, make sure you don't leave any marks… and that your lips aren't stained with blood"
She screamed at him before stomping off, and then all of a sudden skidding into a halt.
Draco stared at her amusingly… "You're a real smartass hermione…But what can I say, you're kisses betray the best of you.."
She turned to him with fiery and came back.. stopping when she was just infront of him. Facing him eye to eye.. wrinkling his nose just to piss her off and to get on her nerves.
"I would have slapped you but I'm considering the fact that it wouldn't really do you any good.. considering that you're as hard as a rock, you don't have any feelings.. and its not as if it would wake you up from the total insane world you're living in.."
"Hermione hermione…" he mimicked.. "Why don't you just admit it? you enjoyed every moment of it…"
Hermione stared at him in disbelief.. it was now time to stop taking things like she was a useless 12 year old.. she grabbed Draco and slammed her lips into his , he was a bit hesitant at first because of surprise, then when the kiss was deepening she pulled away. Looking at him triumphantly.
"Now let me see who really enjoyed it minus the blindfold…" She said, giving Draco one final smirk.
"RoN!! What's wrong with you?? Hello???" Harry said trying to wake up Ron in his seemingly state of reverie. He was doing some researching for his Herbology class when some unrecognizable fella with every strand of red hair misplaced, and positively dripping with sweat came in, it was when it dawned him that it was indeed Ron Weasley in a state of shock.
"Hermione…. Draco…" Ron managed to sputter out with a dazed expression on his face
"Hermione and Draco?? What happened to them?? Did draco do anything wrong to her?"
"Kiss… kiss!!! Kisss!!!!" Ron started to scream.. and Harry tried to calm him down, his green eyes set in total concern. Just then the door opened sending a gush of cold air into the room, and Hermione burst in, who in Harry's opinion was looking somewhat as distorted as Ron, but he kept the observation to himself. One problem at a time was enough to handle..
"Ron what's wrong?"
"You!!!! You!!!" Ron said pointing an accusing finger at her.. "You're at it again!!! Fraternizing with the enemy!!"
"What're you talking about?"
"don't deny it! I saw you! Kiss .. kiss that… Draco.." He managed to spat out as if the name itself was poison to him.
Harry gasped, and Hermione didn't know what to say.. she stared at Ron's crazed expression, and his accusing stare. Then to Harry who looked like he couldn't believe what he was hearing, and who somehow looked kind of funny with a confused, surprised, concerned expression on his face all in one.
"I… I….look! I don't need to explain anything! I'm so tired of explaining everything to the two of you! Can't I just do the things that I want to? Just because you all look at me like some kind of goody two shoes doesn't mean I have no right to kiss who I want to kiss..!"
she burst out, it was just all too much.
"Hermione…. Calm down.. it's just that.. it seems so unlikely of you. So irrational.. Of all people.. Malfoy??" Harry said finally being able to maintain a thoughtful expression on his face
"You too Harry? Well for both of you.. I've been drawn to Draco ever since I noticed that he was a person capable of doing what he wanted to do. Something that I couldn't have ever done because of rules and the way people looked at me.. but that's enough now! From now on I'm going to spend my last year in Hogwarts the way I want to!" with that hermione left the room with a new conviction and a vow to make the best of her dull life.
Draco made his way to the Slytherin common room. Her discovering what he had done was no shock.. but another kiss coming his way he just wasn't able to prepare for. Guess I really have this tendency to cause illogical actions.. I cant believe my luck. It was as if on cue, the moment Hermione kissed him the carrot head appeared from the corner. His plan worked out quite well.. better than he had expected. He can't believe Ron would be that stupid to accept his bluff. Now he was a hundred percent sure that his master was really happy for what happened. And of course.. he had pulled the right strings with Hermione. Judging from her reaction he had successfully pushed her to the breaking point, and that just made him want to laugh out loud.
Hermione made her way from the gryffindor common room towards her next class which was Herbology and badly enough Draco had the same class. She couldn't think straight.. not even knowing what to think about first! The kiss, Draco, Ron and Harry or the next class. She was halfway realizing that she needed to come back to the dorm room because she left her books there.. she has never been so disheveled in her life. Finally she was able to reach the class making it on time, before taking a seat she checked if Draco was already in. and he wasn't... Funny how he's able to manage to be late in most of his classes and still manage to get decent grades, and even vie to beat her once or twice for the running in honors. Harry was already in his seat, so was Ron. Staring at them, Harry avoided her gaze but Ron stared at her menacingly as if she was some type of sea slug, returning the favor she looked back with all the anger mustered.
"Ok now class we are going to have a applied test.. about the plant known as the Vinculum Paliurus. And as we are aware of it intertwines all that comes near it and stings them with a strong poison that if not treated on time shall spread and paralyze its victim. That is if they're not yet dead from the tight bone breaking grip of its stems. And as I have assigned you to do, the first volunteers shall demonstrate spell which will cause the plant to let its victims go…And as she have volunteered herself a week ago.. we have Ms. Hermione Granger to display to the whole class.. now call on Mr Neville Longbottom to be the object..
"Urp.."
Hermione stared at Prof Sprout wide eyed. She had completely forgotten about her report. She wasn't even prepared for it.. well she had read about the spells but didn't have time to actually perform them.. staring helplessly at the professor wishing her silent plea can be heard…
"Now Ms Granger you know we all have full faith in you, always been on top of the class.." Prof Sprout said in a soothing and at the same time stern voice which made Hermione stand up from her seat..
She emerged from the table and held the small glass bottle which contained a seemingly helpless little plant, long green leaves and tiny red flowers. Neville nervously stood from his seat and stood beside her. Taking a deep breath, unclasped the bottle and placed it on top of the table, the plant remained unmoving, she then took a hold of her wand and raised it in midair…
"Mi…miseratio!" She mumbled
the plant moved a little in its bottle, few leaves sprouted from the stem… it rose about 3 feet. then nothing happened.
"Now I think u should try that one more time Ms Granger…"
"MISERATIO!!!!!" She said with conviction.. all of a sudden the glass bottle burst and the plant raised to its full length which was about 12 feet.. something was terribly wrong.. it's long stems flapping in the wind, knocking Prof Sprout unguardedly off his feet slamming him to the wall. Everyone in the class screamed.. instead of grabbing on Neville who was innocently standing beside her, its long stems shut on for Hermione and before she could even move she felt its strong stems enveloping her.. tightly then REALLY tightly. screaming as everyone shouted counter spells, which only made things worse. The other major stem of the plant was hovering over the door waiting for another prey..
stupid god damned watch, Draco cursed under his breath, running from the slytherin room towards his next class which was herbology, he was 15 minutes late and it was due for him to submit a written report he failed to pass the other week not to mention needing to demonstrate something about some plant that he had forgotten whatever the hell it was.
He burst inside the classroom, and gasped when he saw what was happening. Then he felt long thorny things coiling themselves around him, raising him about 6 feet in midair. he couldn't breathe, seeing hermione also being held captive by some brown coiled thing hanging a few feet below him.. oh great, just great… he thought. all of the frightened students were standing at the back, hopelessly placing spells on them…
"Eximo!!" he heard Hermione scream..
Its Eximo Extrico he wanted to scream.. but he couldn't because the coil was tightening around his chest and his voice only came as a croak hermione's counterspell only made it much more fierce, Hermione's eyes stared at him helplessly her eyes full of terror. He felt needles on his sides as feeling the plant stinging him.. oh fuck this couldn't get any more better. He tried to get ahold of his wand reaching for it but the grip was so tightening. He was starting to have flashes of black.. and he knew he was going to pass out any minute. He needed to get in control before it was too late.. but the sting.. he knew was already running through his veins.
Hermione stared at Draco, he had a determined expression on his face but he was starting to turn really green. She felt like the walls were closing in around her.. she felt her left hand break.. and her eyes filled with tears because of pain.
"Eximo Extrico.." She saw him mumble.. the plant let go of its strong hold. Its stinging needles hurt her as it withdrew from her body. Then she saw Draco.. drop 7 feet from the ground it seemed like forever she stared till he landed with a thud beside her, his eyes closed. Hermione lay flat on her back, her body was filled with pain on her arm then all the way down to her back.. she could see tiny little butterflies flying above her.. white…green..yellow… yellow!!! Oooooh that one is cute.. and little stars! She saw.. oh it was funny.. she felt something sting on her left arm, and right, and left leg… and then everything went black.
Ron run from the crowd and went straight to hermione to check her out, lying unconscious beside Draco, who was looking a slight shade of green.. they both had tiny scratches all over their body, Draco had a huge bloodstain on his left hip and his leg was in a distorted position. Hermione on the other hand had more red marks all over her face and arms, she even had leaves on her hair.
Professor Sprout regained his composure and shouted some spell to the plant that made it disappear into a cloud of smoke.
"Are they going to be ok?" Harry asked Prof Sprout
"Hm… Vinculum stings usually take a week to fully heal.. their broken bones on the other hand is an easy job for madame Pomfrey… wait till DumbleDore hears about it.. Im surely in hot water.."
Just then the door burst open and Madame Pomfrey came in
"They must be rushed into the hospital wing soon.. will need to spend the whole night there.. excuse them from all their subjects.." she ordered, after giving Sprout a disapproving look. "Are they the only ones hurt?" Harry nodded in response..
"Ey ron… didn't she tell us? Hermione's gonna be ok…" Harry said staring at Ron who was wearing a dazed expression on his face AGAIN. Madame Pomfrey with the help of some students had managed to drag the two injured to the hospital wing, she then assured them that they were both going to be ok and would probably gain consciousness in a few hours.. but they would need to spend the whole day and night at the hospital wing to get the stings extracted from their skin and body. But he couldn't understand what's the buzz with Ron.. who was strangely enough not being himself lately..
"Ron??? Please tell me??"
"Hermione… Draco… hospital wing.. All night."
