Piercing Eyes

Chapter 7: Like I said, you're not sexy at all!

Back in my room, I practically was about to hit myself for being so stupid! God, why did I make that stupid deal with stupid Malfoy? Why? Why hadn't I just walked out of that damn bathroom, and ignored that silly snake. Because I was silly. Totally silly!

I recalled my reflections from earlier. About being lonely, and not having a boyfriend. I was sure that this had to do with my silly behaviour. The snake had been the perfect excuse for someone to rescue me. My knight in armour. Hah. And who had "rescued" me? Malfoy out of all people! Ugh, I really could have walked away! It was still a mystery to me, why I actually hadn't! Because Malfoy had to some extent been FLIRTING with me? No, for sure not. Apart from the fact, that someone like Malfoy would never flirt with someone like me, I wouldn't have liked it anyway, right? And then the stupid deal! And I had actually agreed to it! Malfoy - the hottes guy ever, yeah right. He so wasn't!

Well, I'd just forget about it! The silly deal shouldn't bother me anyway. I'd just say it in that mockingly laughing tone, so that everyone would see I was only being sarcastic. Yeah, that could actually be quite amusing! A smile crept onto my face.

"Yeah, Hermione, that could be REAL fun." I told myself, trying not to laugh out loud. "And with Ron's or Harry's help..." An idea had silently popped up in my head and I needed one of my best friends to help me with it!

Gathering all my books and school stuff, I hurriedly ran down to the great hall. To finally get something for bbreakfast. And of course to talk to Harry and Ron afterwards. Yeah, I definitely had to talk to them.

----------

The day went by extremely fast, and I constantly congratulated myself about being such a smart and clever, not to forget sexy man. And of course Pansy was congratulating me too.

"Ohhh Dracie, you did so great! I had sent it there, you're right!" she purred. "I wanted to scare her, the stupid bitch! I was so mad, that she shares her dorms with my baby! Not that I'm jealous or anything! But my baby has to stay with a mudblood! A MUDBLOOD!"

I smirked slightly. Pansy could be a very annoying bitch sometimes, really. And she always acted as if she was my girlfriend. She wasn't bad-looking at all. Shoulder-length blonde hair, with big silky curls, and big blue eyes. And although her face, especially her nose, looked a little pug-like, you could still say she was looking quite pretty to some extent. Still, I'd never go out with her, the Yule Ball had been enough for me by far. She was okay-looking, but as dumb as a donkey. And, as I already mentioned, annoying as hell!

"Dracie baby-" And she always called me Dracie. I mean, come on! DRACIE! It sounds horrible!

Pansy continue babbling about how great I was - not that I minded - and I thought about tonight's dinner. I was anxious to see how Granger would announce my good looks. Imagining the mudblood turning red in embaressment, and Potty and Weasley glaring at her in disbelief made me grin. Then again, she'd probably tell the two of them. But who cares anyway. She'd make a big big fool out of herself, in front of the whole school!

Parkinson was still having her monolog about me. Stupid little bitch.

"Go away, Pansy."

She looked at my a bit hurt."What?"

"Go away. I want to be alone now."

"Oh okay, sweetheart, I understand! You need your rest don't you?"

I didn't reply. Go away bitch, geeze.

"Dracie baby, I'll see you at dinner later okay?"

She placed a kiss on my cheek, and left my room. When the door closed, I whiped my cheek in disgust. I was NOT her boyfriend, couldn't she understand that?

"Okay, thanks sweeties, this is going to be absolutely wonderful." I smiled broadly and gave Harry and Ron a warm hug.

It's really nice to have best friends. Even, when they're spending most of their time with their wonderful good-looking model girlfriends, you still can let them help you with a clever little get-back-to-stupid-Malfoy plan. It would be perfect, absolutely. We had discussed each detail of the plan in the Gryffindor common room for hours, and we had come to the conclusion, that Harry would be helping me. He wasn't getting in too big trouble anyway, and Ron's mom was still mad at her son for several detensions. So Harry was best choice.

It was finally dinner time, and the 5 of us - Ginny and Parvati would play a tiny part in the plan too - headed down to the great hall expectantly. When sitting down at our table, I glanced over to the Slytherin table, and found Malfoy staring it me intensely. When our eyes met, he lifted his right eyebrow mockingly, smirked and - winked at me? If it hadn't been Malfoy, I sure would have found that intriguing, but as it HAD been Malfoy, I was sure I was hallucinating.

Suddenly I heard Harry 's loud coughing next to me, and knew that was the sign. It was starting. The plan! Ginny and Parvati noticed it too, and we all snickered.

Right then, a few eggs, tomatos, a bit chocolate pudding and pumpkin juice - Harry's part had been hexing them - flew all threw the hall and ended - just as planned - on Malfoy. The eggs and the chocolate pudding caused his usually oh-so-perfect blonde hair to stick together in a very un-appealing way, and he was dripping with pumpkin juice: Morever the tomatoes and another few eggs were smudged all over his face and his expensive robe. He looked absolutely ridiculous, and most of the students were already laughing like crazy, although there was still more to come! Just the right moment for my occurence.

I stood up and opened my mouth exaggeratedly, pretending to be in a big shook, and then cried out in my best sarcastic voice.

"Oh my god, Ginny and Parvati!" I gasped for everyone to hear. "You knew how I wasn't so sure about this, but now I am, Draco Malfoy IS the sexiest MAN in the whole wizard world!"

***********

Will Draco let Hermione get away with that?
If not, what will he do about it?

Coming up sooner or later in Chapter 8!
