Chapter 2 - Your common room or mine?
"Malfoy! Slow down!" Hermione yelled, tripping over her feet as Draco strode onwards.
"Bloody hell Granger!" He fumed "Keep up!"
"Stop! Lets at least try sort a few things out. It's no good getting upset over this." Hermione ground to a halt and tugged the golden line that attached her Draco. He stopped and turned slowly around, fixing a dangerous look at Hermione. She laughed weakly and let go of the string. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to tug string when there is an angry Dragon on the other end. "Look, let's decide a few things," She said, trying desperately to remain calm.
"Like what?" He snapped.
"Well, Snape told up to sort out our timetable. We should get a parchment and try divide our lessons evenly."
"That's easy!" Draco said brightly.
"Its it?"
"Yes, you're coming to all my lessons." He spun about and carried on walking. Hermione tried in vain to try reason with him, but Draco didn't want to discuss 'stupid lessons' anymore. "And for crying out loud Granger, fix those ruddy ears already. If I have to be attached to a mudblood I don't want her to have bunny ears!"
"Well, lets get to my common room and I'll get a safe spell to use. We can't be too careful. We have no idea how magic string will effect any spells we do." Hermione tugged irritably at the sting, jerking Draco back in his steps. With a growl he whipped his wand out and yelled "Fixerio". His wand spluttered and died. Draco looked mortified and shook his wand, it spit out a few sparks then fell silent.
"My wand!" He moaned, staring at it sadly.
"Well, it's a good thing too, who knows what your silly 'Fixerio' would have done!" Hermione huffed at Draco and marched past him. He frowned at her. Bloody know it all mudbloods. They walked in silence, both not knowing what to say to the other. Eventually they came to a junction in the corridors. One way lead to Gryfindor and one lead to Slytherin. They both exchanged glances, then at once both rushed towards their own common rooms. The string tightened, Made a satisfying 'twang' sound and snapped tight. Hermione and Draco where pulled back roughly by their arms and fell dramatically down with a loud 'smack'. A first year who was passing clapped his hands and went "Ohhhh, cool!".
"Owch!" Draco sat up and rubbed his head, he had hit it as he fell and a small trickle of blood oozed down over his ear. Hermione scrabbled over to him and cuffed him roughly about the ear. Draco went "Owch!" again.
"You stupid Idiot! I'm not going to waste away in Syltherin common room!" Hermione shrieked. Draco winced as she hollered and he held his bruised head. Damn it! Why does he have to be attached to her? He looked at Hermione as she continued to yell. Her face was turning pink, her bunny ears where fluffing out a little. Bunny ears? What would everybody in Slytherin think if he showed up with a half blood bunny girl?
"On second thoughts." He scrambled to his feet and shook his head, trying to clear his mind "Lets go to Gyfindore instead. Probably.uh..best."
"Good, I see that bump on your head has given you a little sense."
They stumbled off down the corridor towards Gryfindor. Draco wondered what it was like in there. He was going to miss his cosy dungeon common room this week. For some reason he imagined the Gryfindor common room to be.well.. for want of a better word 'poncy'. Before long they arrived at a portrait of a fat lady. She was chatting to a small elderly witch who must have popped in to visit from the painting across the hall.
"Password please?" The fat lady asked, she looked at Draco darkly, and shook her head disapprovingly. "You do realise it against school rules to sneak boyfriends from other houses into the common room?"
Draco coughed loudly and Hermione blushed all the way to the tips of her furry ears.
"He.he's not my boyfriend!" Hermione squeaked, thoroughly embarrassed. Behind her she could hear Draco sniggering. Angrily she whipped around and stared at him. Draco stifled a laugh and looked innocently at her.
"What?"
"Cover your ears! I need to say the password!"
"Aww c'mon Granger. I won't tell anyone." He gave her a dashing smile, but Hermione wasn't going to fall for that one. She wasn't a fool.
"Cover your ears Malfoy, or Ill box them in for you!" She raised her fist and waved it menacingly. Sighing moodily Draco covered his ears. He made sure to yank the magical string as he did so and Hermione was thrown a little off balance. He grinned again as she shot him an angry stare. Then she shuffled up to the painting and whispered "Almond Dust" into the fat ladies ear. The painting swung open and she stepped inside. Draco followed, looking all about him curiously. Thankfully the common room was empty, all students where still in classes. The fire crackled warmly in the grate and threw an orange glow over the room, which was decorated in reds, yellows and gold trim. It was a warm and cosy place. Draco liked it, but would never admit that to anybody. Even though this was a very nice room it was nothing compared to the atmospheric green glows of his dungeon house.
"Alright, now we are here let me fetch my spell book and lets get these silly rabbit ears out the way." As she spoke Hermione rifled through a stack of spell books that towered on a little side table near the fire. "Bugger, I can't find it!" She swore.
"Maybe it's on that shelf over there?" Draco pointed a finger across the room to a large book case.
"No." She shook her head "I never put my books on there, any student can just help themselves to the books on that case. This is terrible. It must be.." She faltered, going red in the face.
"Where?"
"In the girls dorm." Hermione blushed crimson and avoided looking at Draco.
"So? Lets go get it then!" Draco wandered to the middle of the room (dragging Hermione behind him) and looked at the two separate staircases. "Which one leads to the girls dorm?" He asked, looking over his shoulder at Hermione.
"But, you can't go up there! It's against school rooms. And what if there are any girls up there?"
"You want to lose those dumb ass ears? Then let's go! Relax Granger" Draco held out his hands, palm up "All the Gyfindore girls are in class. Now which way is it?"
Hermione covered her eyes with her free hand and groaned. Why did this have to happen? Never in a million years did she ever think she would be taking Malfoy into the girl's dorm. "It's that way." She pointed the way and Draco set off. Once again Hermione was being pulled along like a dog on a leash, or did she mean rabbit? As they entered the room Draco looked about and whistled. "Nice" he said. "Which bed is yours?"
"What?" Hermione spluttered, she could feel her face burning.
"Which bed is yours? I take it you do store your books in your bedside cabinet?"
"Huh? Oh, yes. It's over there." Hermione laughed, relieved. For a moment she thought.no.. she wasn't thinking that! Not for a moment!
"Cool." Draco dashed over and Hermione hurried to keep up. Pretty soon Draco was pulling everything out of her cabinet. Hermione almost died when he pulled out a tatty rag that had been her comfort blanket since she was a baby. He didn't seem to notice what it was and threw it behind him. As he pulled out books he read the titles out loud.
"Magical Me?"
"No."
"Love spells? Granger!"
"NO!" Hermione covered her eyes. If leading Malfoy into the girl's dorm was one thing she never thought she would do, having Malfoy rummage through her things was defiantly up on that list too.
"The Witches Handbook?"
"Yes! That's it, pass it over!" She snatched the book and flicked through the pages. Sitting on the edge of the bed she started to read. Draco sat next to her and tried to read over her shoulder. "Do you mind?" She moved the books covered to block his view.
"Fine. Just hurry it up." He huffed, folding his arms and making Hermione drop the book. She scowled and reached to pick it up, wrenching Draco's arms out of position, in return he pulled on the string and the book fell once again to the floor. After a short while of pulling and tugging and exchanging of abusive insults they settled down and Hermione found the spell she was looking for. She reached for her wand (with her free hand, no need to start another tug of war) and produced her wand.
"Dissario" She said, flicking the wand. To her horror instead of the soft shower of yellow sparkles she expected, a hot red star shot like a bullet from the wand and smashed right into Draco. He flew back and Hermione was pulled along with him. They landed in a painful heap on the floor, Draco on top of Hermione, coughing and cursing. Opening her eyes Hermione looked up at Draco. "W..what happened? Are my ears gone?"
"Urm. No." Draco tugged at a bunny ear and Hermione crossed her eyes to focus on it as Draco pulled it down. "Granger, what the hell is up with your wand?" He lifted himself off Hermione and held out his hand to help her up. She looked at it doubtfully, but took it anyway and was lifted gently to her feet. She was a little surprised at how strong Malfoy was. Then she saw it.
"Uhh..Malfoy?" She stammered.
"What?"
"Its..uh.. Oh Gods. Behind you!" Hermione pointed at Draco's bum. His eyes widened and reached behind him. To his disbelief his hand wasn't met with his trouser seat, but with a fluffy pompom tail. Catching his reflection in a window he let out a groan. He had a fluffy pink bunny tail attached to his bottom. To make matters worse, at the exact moment the clatter of footsteps and the babble of voices drifted up the stairs. The Gryfindor girls had arrived back from class and where on their way to the dorm.
**~** Oh great! Looks like Hermione's wand has a 'thing' for bunnies! What will happen when these two are caught in the girl's dorm!!! Chapter 3 Will be up ASAP ^_^ Huge thanks for all your comments, I had to stick that bunny tail on Draco, He must look so cute! I'm also going to make this fic a higher rating, leaves room for more fun later on ^_- THANKYOU! **~**
