Piercing Eyes
Chapter 10: I'll show you what I'm capable of!
I finally got up and went down to the Slytherin common room. Being alone in the Head Boy /Head Girl dorms wasn't any fun, when Granger wasn't there. Hell, there I go again, thinking about the stupid mudblood. That's exactly why I decided to go to the common room, in spite of Pansy, or all the other annoying bitches.
"Hey Draco, what's up?"
I looked up, and saw it was Blaise Zabini, who was talking to me. He was quite nice, and I always got along quite good with him. We had a lot in common too. We were both from very rich and old wizard families, we were both only child's, and we were also both incredibly good looking. Blaise wasn't as appealing as I of course – no one was - but he also had quite a number of girls running after him. I flopped down onto the couch next to him and sighed loudly.
"Nothing much, Blaise. Thank God Parkinslut isn't here."
Blaise grinned at me. "She really can be annoying, eh? But I swear, she has other qualities. Trust me."
"I wouldn't know that." Hell, I'd never sleep with filth like that. Pansy Parkinson. Ugh, kissing her had been disgusting enough. She's such a bloody whore. Why would I even want to have sex with someone as overused as Pansy. Yuck! I'd rather have sex with Gra- wow I didn't just think that, I simply didn't, and about a mudblood? God, I'm really going mental.
"God Draco, you still think you're too good for any girl around here?" Blaise interrupted my thoughts. "Really, if you keep acting like this, you'll die as a virgin!"
"Oh will you fuck off, Blaise. That's ridiculous."
"You're ridiculous, buddy. If you don't want any of the Slytherins, I can understand that. They are quite the whores." We both grinned. "But there's other houses too, you know."
I looked up, surprised. "Are you suggesting I' just go and sleep with some Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff?"
"Possibly." He looked at me deviously. "You know, there's still Gryffindor."
"Are you insane?" A Gryffindor? What was Blaise thinking? That was absolutely absurd! I'd never go around sleeping with some random Gryffindor, and additionally none of those chicks would ever be willing to have sex with me. I could try, with Granger though. Fuck, there I go again. I have to stop thinking about here. "It's nonsense, Blaise. We hate them, they hate us. And none of those goody-goody two shoes girlies would ever want to sleep with me, ya know."
"Don't count on that, bud. I know that the Lavender Brown
chick really has the hots for you. And you have to admit; Granger really
looks quite intriguing too. And you could even piss of Pott-"
"Are you insane, Blaise?" I repeated. " A bloody mudblood?
I would never, never-"
"Oh come on, Draco!" he interrupted me. "Who cares, as long as she's a good
lay? I bet she is."
"Like I said, I wouldn't know about that. And hell I don't care." Angrily I stood up, and left for my Head Boy dormitory again. Wonderful, just now when I'm trying to get rid of the thoughts about Granger, Blaise starts suggesting me to sleep with her. Peachy! Just peachy!

"You did what?"
I spun around, and looked straight into Seamus's hazel brown eyes. Wonderful, really! I hadn't wanted anyone to find out about my little incident. Seamus would tell Harry and Ron for sure. And they'll be furious for god's sake. They'll hate me.
"Hermione?" Seamus said softly, sitting down on the couch, next to me. "Malfoy kissed you?"
"Uhh. I he. Well, yes. Yes he did." I stuttered. "Seamus, you cannot tell anyone. This is so embarrassing, everyone will laugh at me, it will be horrible. Seamus, seriously, you must promise me, please-"
"Shh, calm down 'Mione. I didn't even plan telling anyone."
"Not even Ron and Harry?"
"Not even Ron and Harry."
I sighed in relief. Thank god, Seamus was such a nice guy. I knew he'd never break a promise given. And it really reassured me to know that. Know, that my secret was safe, that no one else would ever find out. Phew.
"You want to talk about it?" Seamus asked me. "Are you in love with him?"
I cringed. "In love? With Malfoy? God, no!" And I could as well tell him the rest of the whole story. And I did. I told him everything, from the very beginning. How he had reported me to Snape, how I ran into him, about the strange dream, about the evening when he hit me. I told him about the shower incident, about my revenge in the great hall, and about how he had been acting all nice-nice afterwards.
And I of course told him about the kiss. I didn't even leave out the fact that I didn't break away for quite a while. And it felt god to speak the truth, it felt good to talk about my problems.
"Do you know what you will do about it? About Malfoy?" Seamus asked, and I knew he was sincerely interested in helping me.
"I have no idea, Seamus." I sighed. "I have to try to ignore him. But - as disgusting as it may sound to you - he's really intriguing. I thought about it, maybe it's because he's a Slytherin? Because he's, well, forbidden?"
Seamus grinned. "Never thought you'd go for the bad boy thing, 'Mione." I bit my lip, and he put his hand on my shoulder. "I was joking."
"I know that. The whole thing just annoys me. I even thought about kissing Zabini, you know. He's forbidden too, maybe that'd get Malfoy out of my system."
"Well then go for it." Seamus said seriously. "Anything to get rid of Malfoy. And I've heard Zabini isn't that bad of a kisser, either."
Now it was me, who grinned. Good old Seamus. He really had a talent to make you feel better. And I did. Yeah, I'd just kiss Zabini. I'm sure I'll find some good moment to do it. Hell, Lavender goes off snogging with someone all the time it really should be no problem finding the right time and place for a little kiss with Zabini. I'd do that, yeah. Kiss Zabini - forget Malfoy. My plan.

The next morning, we had double Potions with the Gryffindor's first. Wonderful, isn't it? After a sleepless night of thinking of the mudblood, I was probably going to stare at her all through the period. I'd get a bad grade for not concentrating, then of course Weasley would kill me, how dare I stare at his bum chum Granger? Wonderful really.
Sitting down at my desk, next to Blaise, I already saw her out of the corner of my eye. With Pott-head and the Weasel of course. And she was laughing at something stupid Pott-head had said, and patted him on the back. She was always laughing, when she was with them. I had always suspected her to have a crush on either of the two gits, but apparently that wasn't true. Potter and Weasley both had girlfriends, and obviously Granger didn't care. True pure friendship, how peachy!
The passed through the door, and I noticed Granger suddenly
walked slower then her two amazing sidekicks, to stay a little behind them.
Hell, she was walking straight to our desk. What was the bitch up to?
She really came up to us, and I don't recall what surprised my most. How
she talked, whom she talked to, or what she did
"Morning, Blaise." she said, lifting her eyebrows seductively. "Fancy seeing you here." She slipped a tiny little note right into his hands, winked at him, and then stalked off to her cronies.
I turned to look at my friend questioningly. "What was that, Blaise?"
"I have no idea, but I told you she's a sexy vixen."
Oh, is she ever!
***********
Will Hermione really carry out her plan?
And what will our beloved Malfoy think of it?
Coming up sooner or later in Chapter 11!
