Chapter Two - The Date
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter: Harry's POV
'Go away, Malfoy!' Ron said, who seemed to have gotten a little pale.
'Going sneaking out at night, are you? I'm sure Professer Snape would like to hear all about it,' Draco sneered. Right on queue Snape came by.
'Oh, and here he is right now,' Draco said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Potter! Weasley! What do you think you're doing?' Snape demanded giving them the stare of evil.
'Professer, Potter and Weasley were planning on sneaking outside later at night,' Draco said quickly. Ron and Harry glared at him.
'Sneaking out, are we, Potter, Weasley? My office, now!' Snape snapped, 'Thank you for your honesty Mister Malfoy, ten points to Slytherin,' he said smiling cruely. Ron and Harry's jaws dropped open.
'But, that's not fair, Profess - '
'Shut your trap, Weasley! In my office now!' Snape said glaring at the both of them, mostly Harry though. Draco smirked as Ron and Harry followed Snape to his office, both were looking daggers at him as they walked by.
*
Ron's POV
'I can't believe Snape gave us another week of detention! I swear, one more crap that comes out of Malfoy's mouth and I'll hex'em!' I said. Harry looked my way.
'Yeah, we should really be careful when we speak of the 'you know what,' or else it might be Hermione who's evesdropping on us,' Harry said.
'What are you guys talking about? Quidditch I suppose.'
We turned around, Hermione was there, hands on hips. Her lips were pursed and she looked annoyed. What's her problem?
'Oh, hi Hermione,' Harry said. Hermione looked at him. She seemed not too pleased at what she was seeing.
'Shouldn't you be practising?!' she said, 'Draco's out in the Quidditch field practising right now, that's what you should be doing! You can't let Draco win!' Hermione exclaimed. Ever since they made the stupid bet, Malfoy and Hermione started calling eachother by their first names. It's kind'a wierd. Mostly for Hermione probably. After six years in this school, she's used to calling Malfoy, Malfoy! It's kinda disturbing.
'Harry can't practise every minute of his life, Hermione! Snape gave us another week of detention!' I said. Hermione looked mad. What's wrong with her?!
'What did you do this time? Ugh! I just can't believe it! The both of you! Can't you stop getting in trouble! Urgh! You!' she pointed to Harry, who looked quite nervous, 'You haven't even practised, have you? Have you?!' she said, almost yelling. Whoa! Sometimes, Hermione can be really scary!
'Well I've been practising a couple of times, about two or three times a week,' Harry said.
'Three times a week! That's not enough! You need to get out there and show Mal-Draco, what you're made of!' she lectured. I don't get it! She's lecturing us because Harry's not practising for the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw next week and if Gryffindor don't win, they don't get to play Slytherin at all! She even lectured me because I was setting a bad example for Harry! Whoa! Someone's in a bad mood!
After ten more mintutes of lecture from Hermione, she finally stomped off to her dormitory looking pleased with herself. She needs relaxasion.
'Alright, tonight we practise for oparation, 'Spy on Draco and Hermione's date,' tonight!' I said to Harry.
'Yeah, okay. I just hope we don't get caught.'
Me too.
*
It was almost twelve o'clock and two little michievous boys in the Gryffindor common room stayed awake. Harry and Ron had been waiting for everyone to get to sleep before they could put their plan into action.
Ron's alarm clock went off and he quickly turned it off, so it wouldn't wake anyone. Lavender had taken to wake up at any noice she hears and they wouldn't want to get caught.
'Come on, let's go,' Ron whispered at Harry. Harry took his Firebolt and tip-toed beside Ron. In a minute or so, they were out in the Entrance Hall.
'We have to watch out for Filch and Mrs Norris. Did you bring the Invisibility Cloak?' Ron asked.
'Yeah, just in case,' Harry said. They were about five feet from the Castle Grounds, when they heard footsteps. Harry froze and threw the Invisibility Cloak over them. Ten seconds later they heard McGonagall walking to the Dungeons. She was holding Draco by the ear, who was yelping in pain.
'Sneaking out at night? How dare you! I shall have a word with Professor Snape about you, Malfoy, make no mistake!' McGonagall said.
'You don't understand! Harry Potter is sneaking around, Professor! They are up to something! I heard them!' Draco said.
'How dare you, Malfoy! How dare you, blame one of my pupils of sneaking out a night! How prepostrous! Come! We shall have a nice friendly chat with dear old Professor Snape!' McGonagall said.
'Unhand me, yankie!' Draco said as McGonagall pulled him down towards the Dungeons.
'Thank you, Malfoy!' Ron chuckled.
'Come on,' Harry whispered, 'we don't want to get caught and prove Malfoy right.' They sneaked outside into the Quidditch Pitch.
'Alright, so where should we start?' Ron said.
'How about pretending to lose to Malfoy.'
'Oh yeah! Hehehe, I new that!'
'All right, now we should try and make this look real so, if you see the snitch don't catch it and let Malfoy get it,' Ron said.
'Yeah, but it has to look really real so, I'll just go after him and pretend that I want to catch the sntich but not actually catch it, right?' Harry said.
'Yeah. Alright, let's practise,' Ron said.
*
Hermione's POV
Ugh! Today is Friday. I can't believe Harry wasn't practising, I mean, he has that match against Ravenclaw on Saturday, and if they beat them, they'll play Slytherin! Harry had better win! Ugh! I need a vacation!
'What's wrong Mione?' Ginny asked, 'Thinking about lover boy, are we?'
'GINNY!' I yelled. Lavender and Parvati looked at us strangely. I was at the Girl's Dormitory.
'Okay, okay, sorry!' Ginny giggled, 'but really, tell me, were you thinking about him?' she asked. What the hell?! Does thinking of the Quidditch match count as thinking of Draco?
'I don't know, I'm only your brain!' Shut up!
'Course not.......does thinking about the Quidditch match against Slytherin count as thinking of Draco?' I asked.
'Yup!' Ginny said giving me a wink. Suddenly Lavender and Parvati shrieked.
'HERMIONE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!! HERMIONE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!! EEEEEK! EEEEEEEEEK!' they shrieked. I turned red.
'So, who is it, Hermione, huh?' Lavender asked, 'Is it Ron?'
'No.'
'Is it Harry?' Parvati asked.
'No.'
'Well, who is it?' they asked in unison. Man, do these girls ever like gossip.
I hesitated. If I told Lavender and Parvati, by dinner time, everyone will know! I'm surprised that they didn't even hear about the rumor.
'Draco Malfoy,' I said.
'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! EEEEEEK! DRACO MALFOY! HAHAHAAA!' the two laughed.
'Come on, you guys! It's not Hermoine's fault! Malfoy came to her!' Ginny said and joined Lavender and Parvati.
'..........HAHAHAHAAAA! HERMIONE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND! HERMIONE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND!!!'
'Awwww! You guys!' I said. But I don't suppose they heard me, since they were laughing so hard. I walked out of the Girl's Dormitories and went to the common room. I sat down, bored to death.
Awwww! I hate this stupid bet! Why'd I make it anyway?! Gah! I hate my life! Ugh! Oh great here comes Harry and Ron. I'll give them a lecturing of a life time!
*
It was almost breakfast time by the time Hermione finished lecturing Harry and Ron.
'Ugh! My ears are so clogged up. You'd think she could at least take a break every ten minutes,' Ron complained.
'Yeah, well I should really practise for the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw,' Harry said.
'Yeah okay, I'll meet you later, Hermione says I have to study, you know, her being a Perfect and all,' Ron said.
'Okay, I'll see you later then, have a nice study period with Miss Perfect,' Harry called out as he walked out to the Quidditich pitch.
Ron made a face, 'No, fair!'
'Ron!'
Ron turned around and groaned when he saw Hermione coming his way.
'Come on! Let's go to the Library!.....Where's Harry? Is he practising?!' Hermione asked, looking harrassed.
'Yeah.....what happened to you?' said Ron.
'Mal-Draco! He got me sooooo mad, that I added, that once Harry wins, I'll go to the Christmas Ball with him! He's such a jerk!' Hermione exclaimed.
'Why'd you do that?' Ron gulped.
'Because! I know that, HARRY WILL NOT LOSE TO THAT SLYTHERIN GIT!!!' Hermione yelled.
'Whoa, whoa, take it easy!' said Ron waving his arms in front of him.
Hermione sighed, 'Let's go! Before I go mad!' she said. They walked back to the common room and began studying. *dun, dun, dun, dun!*
For the next hour, Ron studied, and studied, and studied, and studied.... (you get what i mean)
'Alright! Let's see what you've learned. Now, tell me, how many ways can Dragon Blood be used?' Hermione asked.
'Twelve?'
'No! No! No! And, no! Dragon Blood can be used thirteen ways, not twelve!' Hermione scolded.
'Well, sorry!' Ron said, 'Don't expect me to get all the questions right! I'm not you!' he added.
'Fine! If you want to fail Potions, then why didn't you say so in the first place?! I had better things to do!' Hermione yelled, and then stomped off towards her dormitory.
'Man, someone's pulling a hissy fit.'
'What do you want, Fred, George?' Ron grumbled.
'Nothin, just wanted to disturb our little bro!' Fred said and George nodded.
'Just leave me alone, okay. I'm trying to study,' Ron said.
'So, did you hear about the rumor?' George asked.
'Though you probably know already,' Fred added.
'Of course I know about the rumor! Hermione is one of my friends, you know,' Ron said.
'I wished Harry would lose against the Quidditch match against Slytherin, it'd be funny to watch Hermione and Malfoy on a date. Hope they kiss or something,' Fred said chuckling.
'Yeah, it'd be really funny! I can see it now,' George said holding up his hands, 'The Daily Prophet! Gryffindor and Slytherin, go on a romantic date! Bookworm, Hermione Granger goes on a date with the Slytherin King, Draco Malfoy, after losing on a bet, which included Mr Harry Potter! Mr. Potter loses on the Quidditch match, Gryffindor vs Slytherin and Miss Granger now would have to go on a date with Mr Malfoy!' he said, 'What'a scoop!'
Ron and Fred laughed.
'Good one,' Fred said.
'Yeah. I mean, if Harry loses, and I'm using the word, 'if.' If Harry loses, wouldn't it be funny if we could all spy on Hermione and Malfoy's date?' Ron said mischievously.
'Meaning?' Fred and George asked.
'Here, come here,' Ron said as they huddled.
*
Draco's POV
I can't believe I got Potter and Weasley in trouble again! Today's my lucky day! I sat down on my seat fot breakfast as the post arrived. I was surprised to see that one of our family owls were heading my way. Don't get me wrong, we have over a billion owls, but I can totally tell that one's my father's. Uh oh. He must have heard of the rumor, how'd it leak out?! I mean, only all the students know! How'd it leak out?!!!
A red envelop dropped on my lap. A Howler. Damn! Does he have to humilate me in front of the whole school?
I slowly opened the red envelop and then it came. Father's voice could be heard through out the Great Hall.
'HOW DARE YOU, DRACO! YOU HAVE DISGRACED THE FAMILY NAME!!! YOU ROTTEN LITTLE TWERP!!! WAIT TILL YOU COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS VACATION AND I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD!!!!'
I sank down so nobody could see me, this was my first time getting a Howler
and I didn't like it, not one little bit! Everyone started looking towards the Slytherin table, to see how got the Howler. I looked at the letter, where father was saying his last sentences.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! HOW CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE DATING A MUDBLOOD! YOU ARE A DISGRACE! IF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS OWLS ME AGAIN, I WILL DISOWN YOU! REMEMBER THAT, DRACO!'
And with that, the letter shot into flames. I sighed and looked over at the Gryffindor table. Potter and Weasel were laughing their heads off and Hermione was just staring at me, bewildered. I can't believe this! Will father really disown me? He can't, I'm his only heir, his only heir to the Malfoy Manor. He would never disown me! God! I need to owl mother, I'm sure she will help.
I walked in to te Slytherin Common Room and yelled, 'WHO THE HELL SENT MY FATHER THAT LETTER?!!!! TELL ME NOW! OR I'LL HAVE CRABBE AND GOYLE BEAT THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF YOU!!!!'
Most people shrunk back, obviously afraid. Then suddenly a tiny voice squeaked, 'It was me Draco.' I looked over. Ugh! I would have guessed! It was Pansy! God! She must have been really jealous! Ha! Stupid little wart!
I walked up to her, 'Why the hell did you do that?! Give an answer right now, or I'll hex you!' I hissed. Pansy backed away.
'Be-Because, you never payed attention to me! I don't even understand why you want to date her anyway,' Pansy said.
'Do you know why? Because she is not some ugly brainless Slytherin git! She is the smartest student in this school, and she doesn't cling on my arm all the time! And she certainly doesn't yell her lungs out going, 'DRACO! OOOOH DRACO!!!' I said in a high pitched voice, sounding like Pansy.
Pansy sniffed and ran to the girls dormitory. Ha! Serves her right! Stupid git! I went to my dormitory. I had my own dormitory and I suppose Hermione had her own too, since we're both Perfects. I sat down and began writing a letter to both my mother and father.
Dear Mother,
How are you doing? I need help. Father says he'll disown me. Will he really disown me? He says he will, if I date that Muggle-born, Hermione Granger. It was only a bet! She said if I win in the Quidditch match Gryffindor vs Slytherin, I have to go on a date with her. Plus, I have to go to the Christmas Ball with her! And she was the one who made it! Not me! Not me of course! But father always told me to never refuse a challange, so I took the bet! It's not my fault, right? And the whole school was watching, how can I not refuse!
Father sent me a Howler, I can't believe he embarrassed me like that! All these people were watching! I had to hide my face! Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time) Write back.
Love you,
Draco
I put down my quill, and took out another parchment, and began to write.
Dear Father,
Father, please don't disown me, it wasn't my fault! It was that Mudblood's fault! She made the stupid bet and people were watching. You taught me never to refuse a challange and I didn't! I took the bet. I didn't want to be made a fool out of. But I just can't believe you sent that Howler today at breakfast! I was so humuliated!
Draco
I put down my quill and took the two letters to my owl and sent it home. Ugh! I flopped down on my bed. I'm tired!
*
Den's POV
I can't believe Hermione's gonna date Draco. It's not fair. I mean, I'm better looking, aren't I? Ugh! Not fair!
There she is! I'll go ask her to the Christmas Ball, she'll have to like me!
'Hi Hermione!' I said looking cheerful as always.
'Oh....hi,' she said.
'You look tired. Is something the matter?' I asked.
'Me? Of course not! No! Not me! Hahahaa.'
'Okay. Listen Hermione, can you please go to the Christmas Ball with me?' I blurted out.
Hermione looked at me strangely, 'Um, sorry, but I wouldn't go out with you even if you were the richest guy in the universe.....no offence,' she said.
My heart broke. What! How can she refuse?! This is an outrage!
'Oh, you're going with someone else?' I asked. Please say no! Please say no!
'Kind'a. Well, you know the rumor right?' I nodded, 'well, Draco said if he wins the bet, I'll go on a date with him, plus, I have to go the the Christmas Ball with him. So, I'm really not sure,' she said.
'Oh, but if Potter does win, will you go with me then?' I asked hopefully.
'Uh, I'll think about it, but I'm pretty sure Draco'll win, hehehe!' Hermione said with a sweat drop.
'Okay! See you later then!' I said. Okay, now I gotta make sure Potter wins!
*
Hermione's POV
God! That was close! I gotta make sure Draco wins or else I have to go to the stupid Christmas Ball with stupid Den Grudge! Ugh! I hate him! He's turn me life into hell!
I looked out the window of the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry was practising for the match against Slytherin. Yesterday, they had won the match against Ravenclaw and now, Harry's practising for the battle against Slytherin next week, on December the 10th!
I ran outside to the Quidditch pitch, 'HARRY! HARRY! OY! HARRY!' I yelled.
'Wha? - Oh hi, Hermione,' Harry said and got off his broom, 'what's up?'
'Harry, you've got to lose against Slytherin!' I said. Harry looked at me strangely and then he started to get nervous.
'Wh-why? Then you'll have to go on a date with Malfoy. What's up?' he asked. I couldn't help but notice that his voice was shaking.
'It's none of your buisness!' I snapped back, 'why are you shaking? Something the matter?' I asked.
'No!' Harry said quickly, straightening up a bit, 'N-nothing at all, he, he, he.'
I raised an eyebrow, 'You look a bit shaken. What are you hidding?'
'Nothing!'
'Don't lie to me, Harry! What are you up to? Is it got something to do with me?' I asked.
'There's nothing! Nothing at all! I'm not up to anything.......now, why do you want me to lose against Slytherin?' he asked, changing the subject.
'Well, with the bet going on, I added that I would go to the ball wth Malfoy if he wins......'
'YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BALL WITH MALFOY?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!' Harry shouted.
'No! Let me finish!' I hissed, 'Well anyway, Den asked if I would go with him if Slytherin lost. And I am not going to that ball with Den! Not in my life! So you gotta make sure Slytherin win!' I excliamed.
'.....So, let me get this straight, you'd rather go with Malfoy then Grudge?' Harry asked.
'YES! Of course! Anything's better then Den! Even You Know Who!' I said.
'Okay, okay. But what will all the Gryffindors say?' Harry asked. Uh, oh. I didn't think of that. All the Gryffindors will hate me.
'You just have to lose, Harry you just have to!' I said.
*
'Ron! Ron!' Harry yelled. Ron looked up from the pile of books that he was studying on the table.
'What?'
'Guess, what? Hermione, said that I should lose to Slytherin!' Harry exclaimed. Ron's mouth hung open.
'Why? What happened......oh no! She knows that you're going to lose to Slytherin! She knows!' Ron said.
'She doesn't know, Ron. Here, I'll tell you,' Harry said. And he told him all of what Hermione had said to him earlier at the Quidditch Pitch.
'This is even better! Fred and George will be so happy!' Ron said.
'Fred and George? What about them?......No Ron, you didn't? You told them!' Harry said, 'You said it was a secret! You know Fred and George! They'll go way farther then embarrassing Hermione! Hermione'll kill us when she finds out!' Harry said.
'You mean if she finds out, he he he,' Ron said. A smile appeared on Harry's lips.
'Yeah, yeah. If is good,' he said.

(Malfoy Manor)
Narcissa was bored. Lucius was at Ministry buisness and she was left with nothing to do. (as usual)
'Mistress.'
'Yes? What is it, Mimi?' Narcissa asked the female house-elf.
'A letter came for you, Mistress. It's from Master Draco,' squeaked Mim handing Narcissa the letter.
'Oh, thank you, Mim,' Narcissa said and the house-elf left. Narcissa opened the letter. It was indeed from Draco.(since it had his handwriting) Carefully she opened it.
Dear Mother,
How are you doing? I need help. Father says he'll disown me. Will he really disown me? He says he will, if I date that Muggle-born, Hermione Granger. It was only a bet! She said if I win in the Quidditch match Gryffindor vs Slytherin, I have to go on a date with her. Plus, I have to go to the Christmas Ball with her! And she was the one who made it! Not me! Not me of course! But father always told me to never refuse a challange, so I took the bet! It's not my fault, right? And the whole school was watching, how can I not refuse!
Father sent me a Howler, I can't believe he embarrassed me like that! All these people were watching! I had to hide my face! Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time) Write back.
Love you,
Draco
Narcissa sighed. She perfectly new that Lucius would never disown Draco. Though Draco was right, Lucius had never sent Draco a Howler before. She sighed again.
'I'll just have to talk to him,' she muttered.
She looked down at the letter and smiled at the part when Draco wrote, 'Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time)' Narcissa giggled. Draco sure nailed it. It would depend if Lucius was in a bad mood or a good mood. Sometimes she couldn't even tell.
Her thoughts were interupted when a house-elf came running in.
'Mistress, Master has returned,' it said in a panicy sort of voice.
Quick as lightning, Narcissa hid the letter in one of the drawers beside her. She began fixing her hair in a rush. When Lucius was in one of his moods, it was hard to tell just when he would throw an insult at you.
Narcissa got up and looked at herself in the mirror.
'Good enough,' she said.
She began to fix her blond bangs, when she heard footsteps coming down the hall. She turned around, Lucius Malfoy was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and looking at her.
'Oh! You're home! I was wondering when you'd be home. When I woke up you had already gone,' Narcissa said quickly.
'Trouble at the Ministry. That prat of a friend of mine, Leol Grudge is in it for my job,' Lucius said, using the same drawl as Draco.
'Oh.'
Lucius walked towards her.
'Is there something wrong? You look a bit flushed,' he smirked lifting up his hand to touch her pale cheek.
'Okay, he's in one of his good moods,' thought Narcissa happily.
'Actually....Draco tells me you sent him a Howler today,' she said in a calm voice, blushing a bit. Lucius' smile disappeared and he let go of her cheek. He took out something out of his pocket.
'Yes, you got a letter too, I suppose,' he said holding up the letter that Draco had sent him. They stayed silent. Narcissa didn't exactly know what to say next. Whatever that comes out of her mouth next might get him in a bad temper.
'Well?' Lucius asked.
Narcissa's head shot up, 'Well, what?'
'What do you want to ask me? Make it quick, I have some paper work to do,' Lucius sneered.
'Oh. Um, well.....I-I was wondering i-if, well.....' Narcissa started.
'Well what, woman?! I don't have all day! I have another meeting with the Dark Lord tonight!' Lucius snapped.
'Oh! Um....uh, nevermind,' Narcissa said, sencing that he was getting impatiant.
Lucius raised an eyebrow.
'Are you sure?' he asked in a much gentler tone. She nodded and he left. For a moment she just stood there staring where Lucius had just been standing, her face all red.
'I'm such an idiot!' she said.

(Back at Hogwarts)
Draco's POV
It's almost time for the Quidditch match, hope Potter's ready. I'm gonna kick his sorry @$$!
'Such language, Draco. Tsk, tsk. What would your mother and father say?' Draco's brain said.
Oh shut up! My father would probably say, 'Good for you, Draco. Kick Potter's @$$! The Dark Lord will be proud to know that there's a dent in Potter's abnormally large butt!' and my mother would probably go, 'Draco! How many times do I have to tell you?! Don't ever use that a-s-s word in this house! Use it only in other people's houses! They'll be gratefull!'
'Yeah, yeah. Whatever.'
'Come on Draco, it's almost time.'
I turned around. Grudge was there leaning on the wall with his arms crossed across his chest. Grudge had become a lot colder towards me these past few days. He's probably just jealous. Ha!
'Whatever,' was my reply to him. Hey! If he was being a b*stard towards me, I'll be an @$$ towards him!

'AND WELCOME TO HOGWARTS QUIDDITCH GAME! TODAY IT WILL BE GRYFFINDOR VS SLYTHERIN! - ON THEIR LAST GAME, GRYFFINDOR LOST TO SLYTHERIN BY ONE, HUNDRED AND FIFTY POINTS! WILL GRYFFINDOR WIN THIS MATCH OR WILL SLYTHERIN BE LUCKY AGAIN AND WIN? OUR MATCH WILL START IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES!' Lee Jordan annouced.
Hermione sat with Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Lavender and Parvati. They had all wanted Draco to win, because they think it's funny and all.
In about five minutes or so, the Quidditch players arrived at the field.
'Now I want a nice fair, clean game,' Madam Hooch said looking at the Slytherins, 'alright, on my whistle, one....two....three!'
All the brooms darted into the air like lightning.
Lee Jordan then started announcing, 'AND THERE THEY GO! GRYFFINDOR SEEMS REALLY DESPERATE TO WIN THIS GAME! - And it's Gryffindor in possesion! - Angelina has the Quaffle and passes it to Alicia Spinnet of Gryffindor! - Ooooh! And intersepted by Montague of Slytherin! And Slytherin scores! Ten - zero to Slytherin!'
The Slytherins all cheered and Hermione moaned, but was hoping that she wouldn't have to date Den.
Now Katie Bell had the Quaffle and was heading towards goal to score, when Warrington of Slytherin crashed into her and she dropped the Quaffle, which was picked up by Surge.
'Twenty - zero to Slytherin!' Lee Jordan said dully.
'What's the matter Potter? Afraid to lose?' Draco sneered at Harry.
'I'm not afraid, but I don't know if I'm gonna lose,' Harry said smirking.
Draco raised an eyebrow, 'I'm gonna win this one, Potter!'
'Whatever,' Harry muttered.
'AND ALICIA SCORES! TWENTY - TEN TO SLYTHERIN! COME ON GRYFFINDOR!' Lee Jordan suddenly yelled.
Harry looked down, surely enough, the Golden Snitch was down there, hovering above the grass. Suddenly Harry swooped down.
Draco realized what Harry was aiming for and swooped down after him.
'Damn! I'm not going to catch up!' Draco hissed. Suddenly Harry's broom started to slow down. (he's doing it on perpose)
'Holy sh*t!' Draco swore as he swooped down and caught the snitch.
'WHAT?! IT'S OVER ALREADY?!' Jordan yelled.
'Jordan!' McGonagal snapped.
'Okay, okay! - AND DRACO MALFOY HAS GOTTEN THE SNITCH, ANOTHER LOSS FOR GRYFFINDOR! BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!'
*
Harry got off his broom and met up with Ron, Fred and George.
'Good one, Harry! I don't think anyone noticed, not even Hermione,' Fred said.
'Yeah, good one,' a voice said behind them.
'Mione! What a clever surprise!' Ron said.
'Thanks, Harry. Now I don't have to go to the Ball with Den,' Hermione said, and left.
*
Hermione's POV
I wonder what restaurant Draco's gonna take me? I'm starving! Ah-ha! There he is now. Draco is with Crabbe and Goyle,(as usual) and oh no, Pansy. What's she doing there. I walked over to them.
'I said get off, Pansy!' Draco was screaming.
'Oooh! I new you'd never lose, Dracie!' Pansy squealed.
'Ugh! Don't call me that!' Draco said, disgusted.
'Hey,' I said.
'Oh, hey,' Draco said blushing a bit, and pulling Pansy off his arm. Pansy glared at me.
'Come on Draco everyone in the common room is celebrating!' Pansy said, grabbing Draco's arm.
'Actually, I want a word with Granger,' Draco said.
Great he still calls me 'Granger' around Slytherins. He'll never change.
'But Draco!' Pansy squealed.
'Go, now!' Draco said in a dangerous voice. Crabbe and Goyle moved back at once, and headed towards the Slytherin Dungeons. Pansy however stayed.
'Go!' Draco yelled annoyed.
'Fine!' Pansy said and stormed off.
She's in a bad mood.
'She's in a bad mood,' I said. Draco just shrugged and then smirked.
'Well, I won,' he said. I just stared at him.
'I'm not just gonna welcome you with open arms, ya know,' I said crossing my arms.
'Well, I wouldn't jump into them either,' he said. I rolled my eyes.
'Well?!' I said, losing my patience.
'Well what?' Draco sneered.
'Where are we going for our date?! I'm hungry!' I complained. Draco raised an eyeborw.
'Fine then, we'll go to Needle's Beetle's Restaurant, they're the best. Of course it's in Hogsmeade, so we'll havet'a wait until later,' Draco said.
My stomach rumbled.
'Aw! But I'm hungry now! And I thought we had a truce!' I pouted.
'What da you mean?' Draco asked innocently.(probably thinks of running for it, when Hermione's not looking)
'Ugh! Come on! 'Actually I want a word with Granger.' Come on!' I said.
'Hey, I might ruin my reputation,' Draco said. He has a reputation?!
'What reputation?' I asked.
He glared at me.(almost as piercing as the stare of evil from Snape) It was almost like reading his thoughts. He's thinking, 'I know you know what I'm thinking Hermione, don't be such'a prat!' I rolled my eyes again. I had a habbit of doing that.
'Fine, I'll meet you in Hogsmeade then,' I said and walked away.
*
Hermione entered the Girl's Dormitory to check if everything was okay. She was a Perfect.
'Uh, guys?' Hermione said.
'Hi Mione!' Ginny, Lavender and Parvati said. Suddenly they sang, 'HERMIONE'S GOING ON A DATE! WITH DRACO MALFOY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!'
'Oh, come off it guys,' Hermione said annoyed.
'Here, we'll fix you up Mione. Malfoy would never guess it's you! It's Lavender and friends to the rescue!' Lavender squealed.
'Um, no thanks guys. I don't need a make over. It's only a date,' Hermione said waving her arms in front of her.
'No way! This is your first date. Here we got you a dress!' Ginny said.
'No, not the dress!' Hermione yelled in horror.
'Come here Mione! We'll fix you right up!' Parvati said evily as they approuched her.
'.......NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!' Hermione screamed.
*
'I - look - like - an - idiot,' Hermione said as she looked in the mirror.
'No way Mione! You look fab!' Ginny complimented. Hermione was wearing baby blue dress robes and her hair was shiny and straight.
'Ha! Another work done, by Lavender and co.!' Lavender squealed.
'I am not going out like this. I mean, come on! No one dresses in dress robes when they go to Hogsmeade!' Hermione complained.
'Oh stop complaining, Mione! You look so cute! I'm really jealous! And besides, if anyone questions you, tell them you're on a date with the Slytherin King,' Parvati said.
Hermione pouted.
'Can we come in now?' a voice asked through the door.
'Okay, you can come in now,' Ginny said. Harry and Ron entered.
'Wow, you look great, Mione,' Harry said.
'Yeah,' Ron said.
'Hey, Ron?' Hermione said.
'What?'
'Why are you holding a camera?'
'What?! Oh! This! Well, he he he. I-I just wanted to take some pictures in Hogsmeade,' Ron said. Hermione looked at him suspiously and walked out.
'Alright plan A in action,' Harry said, 'Where's Fred and George?'
'They'll meet us in Hogsmeade,' Ron said.
*
(In Hogsmeade)
Draco's POV
I can't believe I'm doing this.
'I can't believe you're doing this,' Den sneered.
'Just act cool, Draco,' Crabbe said.
'Yeah, act cool,' Den scowled.
'What's wrong with you, Grudge,' I asked. I perfectly new what was bothering him. I won the Quidditch game, that means I'm going on a date with Hermione and I'm going to the Chirstmas Ball with her as well. Jealous rat.
'Nothing's wrong!' Den snapped at me.
'Watch your mouth Grudge. You had better show me more respect!' I snapped at him.
'Malfoy! Malfoy!'
I turned around. Potter was running towards me, along with Weasel. But where's Hermione? She's supposed to be here for our date! I hope I don't look too stupid. I was dressed in black dress robes(well duh!) and as usual my hair was combed back. Goyle even said that it almost glowed, considering I used five bottles of jell.
'Well if it isn't Golden Boy, and his little sidekick, Waddling Weasel. Like the names? I thought about it over night,' I sneered at Potter and Weasley.
'Shut up! Hermione asks if you two are going to walk in the moonlight later on?' Ron said, grinning. I blushed.
'I-If she wants to,' I stamered.
'Don't be a git, Malfoy. Hermione wants to meet you now, come on,' Harry said.
'Me come with you? Tell her she has to come to me! I don't want to be seen with Golden Boy and Waddling Weasel,' I said. Crabbe and Golye sniggered stupidly.
'Nevermind, I'm here,' a voice said. I turned around and my mouth dropped open. Hermione looked so, so, so........I don't know! She just looks so, so, so....beautiful! There! I said it!
'H-Hi,' I said. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw that Grudge was staring also.
'Hello,' Hermione said, 'lets go, I'm starving!'
I chuckled. She's lucky that I'm rich, or else we wouldn't be able to pay for the high prices in Needle's Beetle's Restaurant. If Grudge were to date her, he would probably take her to the Three Broomsticks, that idiot.
'Alright, see you later,' I sneered to Potter and Weasley. I took Hermione's hand and we walked to the restaurant.
'Wow, it's beautiful in here,' Hermione said in awe.
'You've never been?' I asked. It was kind'a stupid, I new she didn't have the money to even get in. When I made reservations, all I had to do was tell them that I was the son of Lucius Malfoy, and they started worshipping the ground I walk on. Well what da ya know?
'No. Where do we seat?' Hermione asked me.
'Over here, my lady.'
I looked over, a waitress stood there. She led us over to an empty room.(away from all the people)
'Why are we here?' Hermione asked.
'Mr Malfoy made reservations, so you could eat in private,' the waitress said, and left. I turned red.
'Well, that's very nice,' Hermione said, sarcasticly. I gave her a glare and we sat down.
'What do you want to eat?' I drawled.
'Ugh! I don't know! I'm so hungry, I could eat a Hippogriff!' Hermione said. I chuckled. Hermione sure knew how to make me laugh.
'Fine then, I'll order for you,' I said.
'It's not going to have poison is it?'
'No, course not!'
'Just checking! You never know. You are the Slytherin King!'
'What do you mean by that?! I am not the Slytherin King!' I said.
'That's what everyone calls you in Gryffindor,(mostly the girls) either that or the Amazing Bouncing Ferret or Ferret Boy,' Hermione replied.
'Oh shut up!' I said. Hermione giggled and I ordered the food.
Minutes later, the food came. Lucky for me, Hermione said if the food didn't come, she'll eat me!
'Yum! This looks soooo good! I'm starving! Guess I don't have to eat you at all then,' Hermione said.
'Yeah.'
When we finished, I asked her about the moonlight walk thingy, you know, the one Weasley was talking about.
'So, do you want to go for a walk? It's still early,' I said. Hermione looked at me.
'Um, o-okay,' she said, blushing. We walked out of the restaurant, while the waiters kept saying things that'll make me want to come back, things like...
'Please, come again, Mr Malfoy!' or 'We enjoyed having you, please come again!' or 'We loved serving you, Mr Malfoy.' Ha! It was really funny. To think, they just do that cause I'm a Malfoy. I should try going into a shop without money and maybe they'll just give all their stuff for free.
*
'Ow! Ron, you're squishing me!' Harry wailed.
'I'm not squishing you, you're squishing me!' Ron said.
'Will you two be quiet?!' Fred hissed.
'Don't you two know anything about spying?!' George hissed. Harry and Ron shook their heads. They were all hiding in a bush watching Draco and Hermione. Fred and George bewitched the bush so if they moved, the bush would stick to them.(just imagine a walking bush)
'Are they going for the walk?' Fred asked.
'I think so, they're walking back to the grounds,' Harry said.
'Ah ha! Malfoy's taking her to the lake. Good choice. If I didn't really know better, I'd say that Malfoy really likes Mione,' Fred said.
'What do you mean?' Ron asked.
'Well, put it this way, Malfoy made a bet to Hermione, that if he wins against Harry in the Quidditch match, she has to go on a date with him. I mean, Malfoy didn't have to date Hermione, right? He said it was part of the bet. He could have asked for something better, like five hundred Galleons or something,' George explained.
'Though he doesn't need, five hundred Galleons. His dress robes probably cost more,' Harry said.
'Shhhh! Lets go!' Fred said. Slowly the bush began to follow Draco and Hermione.
'Be quiet, Ron! And stop eating those blackberries!' George hissed.
'Do you have the camera?' Fred asked.
'Yup,' Ron said his mouth full of berries.
*
'Do you have the feeling someone's following us?' Draco asked.
'No,' Hermione said. Suddenly there was a click.
Draco turned around. There was nothing but a couple of bushes.
'Humm....'
'Come on lets walk by the lake,' Hermione said pulling on his arm. Suddenly there was another click.
Draco looked back and saw nothing.
'Come on!' Hermione said.
They made their way towards the lake, when suddenly Draco began to feel uneasy.
'Wow, it's really beautiful here, huh?' Hermione asked holding Draco's hand.
'Um, uh, yeah,' Draco said. There was another click.
'Did you here that?!' Draco snapped. Hermione looked at him.
'Here what?'
'N-Nothing. Nevermind.'
click
Draco turned around. Nothing. Still nothing.
'What is the matter with you?!' Hermione snapped.
'I-It's nothing. I just keep hearing these clicking sounds,' Draco replied.
click
'Oh great. My date is hearing things. Why couldn't he just have taken me back to the castle?' Hermione mumbled.
'Think of what Parvati and Lavender would say,' Hermione thought. Suddenly she had a vision of Lavender and Parvati hovering above her.
'Kiss him! It'll bring him back to his sences, believe me!' Lavender said.
'But don't the guys supposed to kiss the girls first?' Hermione thought.
'Hello?! This is 2002! Not 1896!' Parvati yelled.
'Come on!' Lavender said.
'Kiss him!' they shouted, and disappeared.
'Great,' Hermione muttered. She looked at Draco who was looking wildly around for the clicking sounds.
'Say, Draco?' Hermione started.
'What?' Draco asked looking at her.
click
'There it is again!' Draco yelled.
'Oh for crying out loud!' Hermione said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
click
click
click
click
Draco felt himself go red out of embarressment. Suddenly Lavender and Parvati appeared again. (only Hermione can see them, cause she's daydreaming)
'That was a kiss?! You call that a kiss?!' Parvati screamed.
'We ment on the lips, Mione. Sheesh! You are way 1992!' Lavender said.
'What do you mean?! I put every thing into that kiss!' Hermione thought angrily.
'Do it again! And this time, on the lips!' Parvati squealed.
'Humph! Alright!' Hermione thought and looked back at Draco, who was dazed.
click
'Draco?' Hermione said.
'Wha?' Draco asked looking at the corner of his eye to see if the strange clicking sounds would come again.
'I hate you,' Hermione said, and kissed him on the lips.
click
click
click
click
click
click
click
click
Hermione pulled away from the kiss and looked at the bushes. Surely enough there was three pairs of red heads and one brown head sticking out of the bushes.
'Harry? Ron? Fred, George?' Hermione said.
'Uh oh! Busted!' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said.

Chapter Two - The Date
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter: Harry's POV
'Go away, Malfoy!' Ron said, who seemed to have gotten a little pale.
'Going sneaking out at night, are you? I'm sure Professer Snape would like to hear all about it,' Draco sneered. Right on queue Snape came by.
'Oh, and here he is right now,' Draco said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Potter! Weasley! What do you think you're doing?' Snape demanded giving them the stare of evil.
'Professer, Potter and Weasley were planning on sneaking outside later at night,' Draco said quickly. Ron and Harry glared at him.
'Sneaking out, are we, Potter, Weasley? My office, now!' Snape snapped, 'Thank you for your honesty Mister Malfoy, ten points to Slytherin,' he said smiling cruely. Ron and Harry's jaws dropped open.
'But, that's not fair, Profess - '
'Shut your trap, Weasley! In my office now!' Snape said glaring at the both of them, mostly Harry though. Draco smirked as Ron and Harry followed Snape to his office, both were looking daggers at him as they walked by.
*
Ron's POV
'I can't believe Snape gave us another week of detention! I swear, one more crap that comes out of Malfoy's mouth and I'll hex'em!' I said. Harry looked my way.
'Yeah, we should really be careful when we speak of the 'you know what,' or else it might be Hermione who's evesdropping on us,' Harry said.
'What are you guys talking about? Quidditch I suppose.'
We turned around, Hermione was there, hands on hips. Her lips were pursed and she looked annoyed. What's her problem?
'Oh, hi Hermione,' Harry said. Hermione looked at him. She seemed not too pleased at what she was seeing.
'Shouldn't you be practising?!' she said, 'Draco's out in the Quidditch field practising right now, that's what you should be doing! You can't let Draco win!' Hermione exclaimed. Ever since they made the stupid bet, Malfoy and Hermione started calling eachother by their first names. It's kind'a wierd. Mostly for Hermione probably. After six years in this school, she's used to calling Malfoy, Malfoy! It's kinda disturbing.
'Harry can't practise every minute of his life, Hermione! Snape gave us another week of detention!' I said. Hermione looked mad. What's wrong with her?!
'What did you do this time? Ugh! I just can't believe it! The both of you! Can't you stop getting in trouble! Urgh! You!' she pointed to Harry, who looked quite nervous, 'You haven't even practised, have you? Have you?!' she said, almost yelling. Whoa! Sometimes, Hermione can be really scary!
'Well I've been practising a couple of times, about two or three times a week,' Harry said.
'Three times a week! That's not enough! You need to get out there and show Mal-Draco, what you're made of!' she lectured. I don't get it! She's lecturing us because Harry's not practising for the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw next week and if Gryffindor don't win, they don't get to play Slytherin at all! She even lectured me because I was setting a bad example for Harry! Whoa! Someone's in a bad mood!
After ten more mintutes of lecture from Hermione, she finally stomped off to her dormitory looking pleased with herself. She needs relaxasion.
'Alright, tonight we practise for oparation, 'Spy on Draco and Hermione's date,' tonight!' I said to Harry.
'Yeah, okay. I just hope we don't get caught.'
Me too.
*
It was almost twelve o'clock and two little michievous boys in the Gryffindor common room stayed awake. Harry and Ron had been waiting for everyone to get to sleep before they could put their plan into action.
Ron's alarm clock went off and he quickly turned it off, so it wouldn't wake anyone. Lavender had taken to wake up at any noice she hears and they wouldn't want to get caught.
'Come on, let's go,' Ron whispered at Harry. Harry took his Firebolt and tip-toed beside Ron. In a minute or so, they were out in the Entrance Hall.
'We have to watch out for Filch and Mrs Norris. Did you bring the Invisibility Cloak?' Ron asked.
'Yeah, just in case,' Harry said. They were about five feet from the Castle Grounds, when they heard footsteps. Harry froze and threw the Invisibility Cloak over them. Ten seconds later they heard McGonagall walking to the Dungeons. She was holding Draco by the ear, who was yelping in pain.
'Sneaking out at night? How dare you! I shall have a word with Professor Snape about you, Malfoy, make no mistake!' McGonagall said.
'You don't understand! Harry Potter is sneaking around, Professor! They are up to something! I heard them!' Draco said.
'How dare you, Malfoy! How dare you, blame one of my pupils of sneaking out a night! How prepostrous! Come! We shall have a nice friendly chat with dear old Professor Snape!' McGonagall said.
'Unhand me, yankie!' Draco said as McGonagall pulled him down towards the Dungeons.
'Thank you, Malfoy!' Ron chuckled.
'Come on,' Harry whispered, 'we don't want to get caught and prove Malfoy right.' They sneaked outside into the Quidditch Pitch.
'Alright, so where should we start?' Ron said.
'How about pretending to lose to Malfoy.'
'Oh yeah! Hehehe, I new that!'
'All right, now we should try and make this look real so, if you see the snitch don't catch it and let Malfoy get it,' Ron said.
'Yeah, but it has to look really real so, I'll just go after him and pretend that I want to catch the sntich but not actually catch it, right?' Harry said.
'Yeah. Alright, let's practise,' Ron said.
*
Hermione's POV
Ugh! Today is Friday. I can't believe Harry wasn't practising, I mean, he has that match against Ravenclaw on Saturday, and if they beat them, they'll play Slytherin! Harry had better win! Ugh! I need a vacation!
'What's wrong Mione?' Ginny asked, 'Thinking about lover boy, are we?'
'GINNY!' I yelled. Lavender and Parvati looked at us strangely. I was at the Girl's Dormitory.
'Okay, okay, sorry!' Ginny giggled, 'but really, tell me, were you thinking about him?' she asked. What the hell?! Does thinking of the Quidditch match count as thinking of Draco?
'I don't know, I'm only your brain!' Shut up!
'Course not.......does thinking about the Quidditch match against Slytherin count as thinking of Draco?' I asked.
'Yup!' Ginny said giving me a wink. Suddenly Lavender and Parvati shrieked.
'HERMIONE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!! HERMIONE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!! EEEEEK! EEEEEEEEEK!' they shrieked. I turned red.
'So, who is it, Hermione, huh?' Lavender asked, 'Is it Ron?'
'No.'
'Is it Harry?' Parvati asked.
'No.'
'Well, who is it?' they asked in unison. Man, do these girls ever like gossip.
I hesitated. If I told Lavender and Parvati, by dinner time, everyone will know! I'm surprised that they didn't even hear about the rumor.
'Draco Malfoy,' I said.
'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! EEEEEEK! DRACO MALFOY! HAHAHAAA!' the two laughed.
'Come on, you guys! It's not Hermoine's fault! Malfoy came to her!' Ginny said and joined Lavender and Parvati.
'..........HAHAHAHAAAA! HERMIONE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND! HERMIONE'S GOT A BOYFRIEND!!!'
'Awwww! You guys!' I said. But I don't suppose they heard me, since they were laughing so hard. I walked out of the Girl's Dormitories and went to the common room. I sat down, bored to death.
Awwww! I hate this stupid bet! Why'd I make it anyway?! Gah! I hate my life! Ugh! Oh great here comes Harry and Ron. I'll give them a lecturing of a life time!
*
It was almost breakfast time by the time Hermione finished lecturing Harry and Ron.
'Ugh! My ears are so clogged up. You'd think she could at least take a break every ten minutes,' Ron complained.
'Yeah, well I should really practise for the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw,' Harry said.
'Yeah okay, I'll meet you later, Hermione says I have to study, you know, her being a Perfect and all,' Ron said.
'Okay, I'll see you later then, have a nice study period with Miss Perfect,' Harry called out as he walked out to the Quidditich pitch.
Ron made a face, 'No, fair!'
'Ron!'
Ron turned around and groaned when he saw Hermione coming his way.
'Come on! Let's go to the Library!.....Where's Harry? Is he practising?!' Hermione asked, looking harrassed.
'Yeah.....what happened to you?' said Ron.
'Mal-Draco! He got me sooooo mad, that I added, that once Harry wins, I'll go to the Christmas Ball with him! He's such a jerk!' Hermione exclaimed.
'Why'd you do that?' Ron gulped.
'Because! I know that, HARRY WILL NOT LOSE TO THAT SLYTHERIN GIT!!!' Hermione yelled.
'Whoa, whoa, take it easy!' said Ron waving his arms in front of him.
Hermione sighed, 'Let's go! Before I go mad!' she said. They walked back to the common room and began studying. *dun, dun, dun, dun!*
For the next hour, Ron studied, and studied, and studied, and studied.... (you get what i mean)
'Alright! Let's see what you've learned. Now, tell me, how many ways can Dragon Blood be used?' Hermione asked.
'Twelve?'
'No! No! No! And, no! Dragon Blood can be used thirteen ways, not twelve!' Hermione scolded.
'Well, sorry!' Ron said, 'Don't expect me to get all the questions right! I'm not you!' he added.
'Fine! If you want to fail Potions, then why didn't you say so in the first place?! I had better things to do!' Hermione yelled, and then stomped off towards her dormitory.
'Man, someone's pulling a hissy fit.'
'What do you want, Fred, George?' Ron grumbled.
'Nothin, just wanted to disturb our little bro!' Fred said and George nodded.
'Just leave me alone, okay. I'm trying to study,' Ron said.
'So, did you hear about the rumor?' George asked.
'Though you probably know already,' Fred added.
'Of course I know about the rumor! Hermione is one of my friends, you know,' Ron said.
'I wished Harry would lose against the Quidditch match against Slytherin, it'd be funny to watch Hermione and Malfoy on a date. Hope they kiss or something,' Fred said chuckling.
'Yeah, it'd be really funny! I can see it now,' George said holding up his hands, 'The Daily Prophet! Gryffindor and Slytherin, go on a romantic date! Bookworm, Hermione Granger goes on a date with the Slytherin King, Draco Malfoy, after losing on a bet, which included Mr Harry Potter! Mr. Potter loses on the Quidditch match, Gryffindor vs Slytherin and Miss Granger now would have to go on a date with Mr Malfoy!' he said, 'What'a scoop!'
Ron and Fred laughed.
'Good one,' Fred said.
'Yeah. I mean, if Harry loses, and I'm using the word, 'if.' If Harry loses, wouldn't it be funny if we could all spy on Hermione and Malfoy's date?' Ron said mischievously.
'Meaning?' Fred and George asked.
'Here, come here,' Ron said as they huddled.
*
Draco's POV
I can't believe I got Potter and Weasley in trouble again! Today's my lucky day! I sat down on my seat fot breakfast as the post arrived. I was surprised to see that one of our family owls were heading my way. Don't get me wrong, we have over a billion owls, but I can totally tell that one's my father's. Uh oh. He must have heard of the rumor, how'd it leak out?! I mean, only all the students know! How'd it leak out?!!!
A red envelop dropped on my lap. A Howler. Damn! Does he have to humilate me in front of the whole school?
I slowly opened the red envelop and then it came. Father's voice could be heard through out the Great Hall.
'HOW DARE YOU, DRACO! YOU HAVE DISGRACED THE FAMILY NAME!!! YOU ROTTEN LITTLE TWERP!!! WAIT TILL YOU COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS VACATION AND I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD!!!!'
I sank down so nobody could see me, this was my first time getting a Howler
and I didn't like it, not one little bit! Everyone started looking towards the Slytherin table, to see how got the Howler. I looked at the letter, where father was saying his last sentences.
'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! HOW CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE DATING A MUDBLOOD! YOU ARE A DISGRACE! IF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS OWLS ME AGAIN, I WILL DISOWN YOU! REMEMBER THAT, DRACO!'
And with that, the letter shot into flames. I sighed and looked over at the Gryffindor table. Potter and Weasel were laughing their heads off and Hermione was just staring at me, bewildered. I can't believe this! Will father really disown me? He can't, I'm his only heir, his only heir to the Malfoy Manor. He would never disown me! God! I need to owl mother, I'm sure she will help.
I walked in to te Slytherin Common Room and yelled, 'WHO THE HELL SENT MY FATHER THAT LETTER?!!!! TELL ME NOW! OR I'LL HAVE CRABBE AND GOYLE BEAT THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF YOU!!!!'
Most people shrunk back, obviously afraid. Then suddenly a tiny voice squeaked, 'It was me Draco.' I looked over. Ugh! I would have guessed! It was Pansy! God! She must have been really jealous! Ha! Stupid little wart!
I walked up to her, 'Why the hell did you do that?! Give an answer right now, or I'll hex you!' I hissed. Pansy backed away.
'Be-Because, you never payed attention to me! I don't even understand why you want to date her anyway,' Pansy said.
'Do you know why? Because she is not some ugly brainless Slytherin git! She is the smartest student in this school, and she doesn't cling on my arm all the time! And she certainly doesn't yell her lungs out going, 'DRACO! OOOOH DRACO!!!' I said in a high pitched voice, sounding like Pansy.
Pansy sniffed and ran to the girls dormitory. Ha! Serves her right! Stupid git! I went to my dormitory. I had my own dormitory and I suppose Hermione had her own too, since we're both Perfects. I sat down and began writing a letter to both my mother and father.
Dear Mother,
How are you doing? I need help. Father says he'll disown me. Will he really disown me? He says he will, if I date that Muggle-born, Hermione Granger. It was only a bet! She said if I win in the Quidditch match Gryffindor vs Slytherin, I have to go on a date with her. Plus, I have to go to the Christmas Ball with her! And she was the one who made it! Not me! Not me of course! But father always told me to never refuse a challange, so I took the bet! It's not my fault, right? And the whole school was watching, how can I not refuse!
Father sent me a Howler, I can't believe he embarrassed me like that! All these people were watching! I had to hide my face! Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time) Write back.
Love you,
Draco
I put down my quill, and took out another parchment, and began to write.
Dear Father,
Father, please don't disown me, it wasn't my fault! It was that Mudblood's fault! She made the stupid bet and people were watching. You taught me never to refuse a challange and I didn't! I took the bet. I didn't want to be made a fool out of. But I just can't believe you sent that Howler today at breakfast! I was so humuliated!
Draco
I put down my quill and took the two letters to my owl and sent it home. Ugh! I flopped down on my bed. I'm tired!

Den's POV
I can't believe Hermione's gonna date Draco. It's not fair. I mean, I'm better looking, aren't I? Ugh! Not fair!
There she is! I'll go ask her to the Christmas Ball, she'll have to like me!
'Hi Hermione!' I said looking cheerful as always.
'Oh....hi,' she said.
'You look tired. Is something the matter?' I asked.
'Me? Of course not! No! Not me! Hahahaa.'
'Okay. Listen Hermione, can you please go to the Christmas Ball with me?' I blurted out.
Hermione looked at me strangely, 'Um, sorry, but I wouldn't go out with you even if you were the richest guy in the universe.....no offence,' she said.
My heart broke. What! How can she refuse?! This is an outrage!
'Oh, you're going with someone else?' I asked. Please say no! Please say no!
'Kind'a. Well, you know the rumor right?' I nodded, 'well, Draco said if he wins the bet, I'll go on a date with him, plus, I have to go the the Christmas Ball with him. So, I'm really not sure,' she said.
'Oh, but if Potter does win, will you go with me then?' I asked hopefully.
'Uh, I'll think about it, but I'm pretty sure Draco'll win, hehehe!' Hermione said with a sweat drop.
'Okay! See you later then!' I said. Okay, now I gotta make sure Potter wins!
*
Hermione's POV
God! That was close! I gotta make sure Draco wins or else I have to go to the stupid Christmas Ball with stupid Den Grudge! Ugh! I hate him! He's turn me life into hell!
I looked out the window of the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry was practising for the match against Slytherin. Yesterday, they had won the match against Ravenclaw and now, Harry's practising for the battle against Slytherin next week, on December the 10th!
I ran outside to the Quidditch pitch, 'HARRY! HARRY! OY! HARRY!' I yelled.
'Wha? - Oh hi, Hermione,' Harry said and got off his broom, 'what's up?'
'Harry, you've got to lose against Slytherin!' I said. Harry looked at me strangely and then he started to get nervous.
'Wh-why? Then you'll have to go on a date with Malfoy. What's up?' he asked. I couldn't help but notice that his voice was shaking.
'It's none of your buisness!' I snapped back, 'why are you shaking? Something the matter?' I asked.
'No!' Harry said quickly, straightening up a bit, 'N-nothing at all, he, he, he.'
I raised an eyebrow, 'You look a bit shaken. What are you hidding?'
'Nothing!'
'Don't lie to me, Harry! What are you up to? Is it got something to do with me?' I asked.
'There's nothing! Nothing at all! I'm not up to anything.......now, why do you want me to lose against Slytherin?' he asked, changing the subject.
'Well, with the bet going on, I added that I would go to the ball wth Malfoy if he wins......'
'YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BALL WITH MALFOY?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!' Harry shouted.
'No! Let me finish!' I hissed, 'Well anyway, Den asked if I would go with him if Slytherin lost. And I am not going to that ball with Den! Not in my life! So you gotta make sure Slytherin win!' I excliamed.
'.....So, let me get this straight, you'd rather go with Malfoy then Grudge?' Harry asked.
'YES! Of course! Anything's better then Den! Even You Know Who!' I said.
'Okay, okay. But what will all the Gryffindors say?' Harry asked. Uh, oh. I didn't think of that. All the Gryffindors will hate me.
'You just have to lose, Harry you just have to!' I said.
*
'Ron! Ron!' Harry yelled. Ron looked up from the pile of books that he was studying on the table.
'What?'
'Guess, what? Hermione, said that I should lose to Slytherin!' Harry exclaimed. Ron's mouth hung open.
'Why? What happened......oh no! She knows that you're going to lose to Slytherin! She knows!' Ron said.
'She doesn't know, Ron. Here, I'll tell you,' Harry said. And he told him all of what Hermione had said to him earlier at the Quidditch Pitch.
'This is even better! Fred and George will be so happy!' Ron said.
'Fred and George? What about them?......No Ron, you didn't? You told them!' Harry said, 'You said it was a secret! You know Fred and George! They'll go way farther then embarrassing Hermione! Hermione'll kill us when she finds out!' Harry said.
'You mean if she finds out, he he he,' Ron said. A smile appeared on Harry's lips.
'Yeah, yeah. If is good,' he said.

(Malfoy Manor)
Narcissa was bored. Lucius was at Ministry buisness and she was left with nothing to do. (as usual)
'Mistress.'
'Yes? What is it, Mimi?' Narcissa asked the female house-elf.
'A letter came for you, Mistress. It's from Master Draco,' squeaked Mim handing Narcissa the letter.
'Oh, thank you, Mim,' Narcissa said and the house-elf left. Narcissa opened the letter. It was indeed from Draco.(since it had his handwriting) Carefully she opened it.
Dear Mother,
How are you doing? I need help. Father says he'll disown me. Will he really disown me? He says he will, if I date that Muggle-born, Hermione Granger. It was only a bet! She said if I win in the Quidditch match Gryffindor vs Slytherin, I have to go on a date with her. Plus, I have to go to the Christmas Ball with her! And she was the one who made it! Not me! Not me of course! But father always told me to never refuse a challange, so I took the bet! It's not my fault, right? And the whole school was watching, how can I not refuse!
Father sent me a Howler, I can't believe he embarrassed me like that! All these people were watching! I had to hide my face! Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time) Write back.
Love you,
Draco
Narcissa sighed. She perfectly new that Lucius would never disown Draco. Though Draco was right, Lucius had never sent Draco a Howler before. She sighed again.
'I'll just have to talk to him,' she muttered.
She looked down at the letter and smiled at the part when Draco wrote, 'Can you please talk to father, he listens to you! (most of the time)' Narcissa giggled. Draco sure nailed it. It would depend if Lucius was in a bad mood or a good mood. Sometimes she couldn't even tell.
Her thoughts were interupted when a house-elf came running in.
'Mistress, Master has returned,' it said in a panicy sort of voice.
Quick as lightning, Narcissa hid the letter in one of the drawers beside her. She began fixing her hair in a rush. When Lucius was in one of his moods, it was hard to tell just when he would throw an insult at you.
Narcissa got up and looked at herself in the mirror.
'Good enough,' she said.
She began to fix her blond bangs, when she heard footsteps coming down the hall. She turned around, Lucius Malfoy was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and looking at her.
'Oh! You're home! I was wondering when you'd be home. When I woke up you had already gone,' Narcissa said quickly.
'Trouble at the Ministry. That prat of a friend of mine, Leol Grudge is in it for my job,' Lucius said, using the same drawl as Draco.
'Oh.'
Lucius walked towards her.
'Is there something wrong? You look a bit flushed,' he smirked lifting up his hand to touch her pale cheek.
'Okay, he's in one of his good moods,' thought Narcissa happily.
'Actually....Draco tells me you sent him a Howler today,' she said in a calm voice, blushing a bit. Lucius' smile disappeared and he let go of her cheek. He took out something out of his pocket.
'Yes, you got a letter too, I suppose,' he said holding up the letter that Draco had sent him. They stayed silent. Narcissa didn't exactly know what to say next. Whatever that comes out of her mouth next might get him in a bad temper.
'Well?' Lucius asked.
Narcissa's head shot up, 'Well, what?'
'What do you want to ask me? Make it quick, I have some paper work to do,' Lucius sneered.
'Oh. Um, well.....I-I was wondering i-if, well.....' Narcissa started.
'Well what, woman?! I don't have all day! I have another meeting with the Dark Lord tonight!' Lucius snapped.
'Oh! Um....uh, nevermind,' Narcissa said, sencing that he was getting impatiant.
Lucius raised an eyebrow.
'Are you sure?' he asked in a much gentler tone. She nodded and he left. For a moment she just stood there staring where Lucius had just been standing, her face all red.
'I'm such an idiot!' she said.

(Back at Hogwarts)
Draco's POV
It's almost time for the Quidditch match, hope Potter's ready. I'm gonna kick his sorry @$$!
'Such language, Draco. Tsk, tsk. What would your mother and father say?' Draco's brain said.
Oh shut up! My father would probably say, 'Good for you, Draco. Kick Potter's @$$! The Dark Lord will be proud to know that there's a dent in Potter's abnormally large butt!' and my mother would probably go, 'Draco! How many times do I have to tell you?! Don't ever use that a-s-s word in this house! Use it only in other people's houses! They'll be gratefull!'
'Yeah, yeah. Whatever.'
'Come on Draco, it's almost time.'
I turned around. Grudge was there leaning on the wall with his arms crossed across his chest. Grudge had become a lot colder towards me these past few days. He's probably just jealous. Ha!
'Whatever,' was my reply to him. Hey! If he was being a b*stard towards me, I'll be an @$$ towards him!

'AND WELCOME TO HOGWARTS QUIDDITCH GAME! TODAY IT WILL BE GRYFFINDOR VS SLYTHERIN! - ON THEIR LAST GAME, GRYFFINDOR LOST TO SLYTHERIN BY ONE, HUNDRED AND FIFTY POINTS! WILL GRYFFINDOR WIN THIS MATCH OR WILL SLYTHERIN BE LUCKY AGAIN AND WIN? OUR MATCH WILL START IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES!' Lee Jordan annouced.
Hermione sat with Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Dean, Seamus, Lavender and Parvati. They had all wanted Draco to win, because they think it's funny and all.
In about five minutes or so, the Quidditch players arrived at the field.
'Now I want a nice fair, clean game,' Madam Hooch said looking at the Slytherins, 'alright, on my whistle, one....two....three!'
All the brooms darted into the air like lightning.
Lee Jordan then started announcing, 'AND THERE THEY GO! GRYFFINDOR SEEMS REALLY DESPERATE TO WIN THIS GAME! - And it's Gryffindor in possesion! - Angelina has the Quaffle and passes it to Alicia Spinnet of Gryffindor! - Ooooh! And intersepted by Montague of Slytherin! And Slytherin scores! Ten - zero to Slytherin!'
The Slytherins all cheered and Hermione moaned, but was hoping that she wouldn't have to date Den.
Now Katie Bell had the Quaffle and was heading towards goal to score, when Warrington of Slytherin crashed into her and she dropped the Quaffle, which was picked up by Surge.
'Twenty - zero to Slytherin!' Lee Jordan said dully.
'What's the matter Potter? Afraid to lose?' Draco sneered at Harry.
'I'm not afraid, but I don't know if I'm gonna lose,' Harry said smirking.
Draco raised an eyebrow, 'I'm gonna win this one, Potter!'
'Whatever,' Harry muttered.
'AND ALICIA SCORES! TWENTY - TEN TO SLYTHERIN! COME ON GRYFFINDOR!' Lee Jordan suddenly yelled.
Harry looked down, surely enough, the Golden Snitch was down there, hovering above the grass. Suddenly Harry swooped down.
Draco realized what Harry was aiming for and swooped down after him.
'Damn! I'm not going to catch up!' Draco hissed. Suddenly Harry's broom started to slow down. (he's doing it on perpose)
'Holy sh*t!' Draco swore as he swooped down and caught the snitch.
'WHAT?! IT'S OVER ALREADY?!' Jordan yelled.
'Jordan!' McGonagal snapped.
'Okay, okay! - AND DRACO MALFOY HAS GOTTEN THE SNITCH, ANOTHER LOSS FOR GRYFFINDOR! BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!'
*
Harry got off his broom and met up with Ron, Fred and George.
'Good one, Harry! I don't think anyone noticed, not even Hermione,' Fred said.
'Yeah, good one,' a voice said behind them.
'Mione! What a clever surprise!' Ron said.
'Thanks, Harry. Now I don't have to go to the Ball with Den,' Hermione said, and left.
*
Hermione's POV
I wonder what restaurant Draco's gonna take me? I'm starving! Ah-ha! There he is now. Draco is with Crabbe and Goyle,(as usual) and oh no, Pansy. What's she doing there. I walked over to them.
'I said get off, Pansy!' Draco was screaming.
'Oooh! I new you'd never lose, Dracie!' Pansy squealed.
'Ugh! Don't call me that!' Draco said, disgusted.
'Hey,' I said.
'Oh, hey,' Draco said blushing a bit, and pulling Pansy off his arm. Pansy glared at me.
'Come on Draco everyone in the common room is celebrating!' Pansy said, grabbing Draco's arm.
'Actually, I want a word with Granger,' Draco said.
Great he still calls me 'Granger' around Slytherins. He'll never change.
'But Draco!' Pansy squealed.
'Go, now!' Draco said in a dangerous voice. Crabbe and Goyle moved back at once, and headed towards the Slytherin Dungeons. Pansy however stayed.
'Go!' Draco yelled annoyed.
'Fine!' Pansy said and stormed off.
She's in a bad mood.
'She's in a bad mood,' I said. Draco just shrugged and then smirked.
'Well, I won,' he said. I just stared at him.
'I'm not just gonna welcome you with open arms, ya know,' I said crossing my arms.
'Well, I wouldn't jump into them either,' he said. I rolled my eyes.
'Well?!' I said, losing my patience.
'Well what?' Draco sneered.
'Where are we going for our date?! I'm hungry!' I complained. Draco raised an eyeborw.
'Fine then, we'll go to Needle's Beetle's Restaurant, they're the best. Of course it's in Hogsmeade, so we'll havet'a wait until later,' Draco said.
My stomach rumbled.
'Aw! But I'm hungry now! And I thought we had a truce!' I pouted.
'What da you mean?' Draco asked innocently.(probably thinks of running for it, when Hermione's not looking)
'Ugh! Come on! 'Actually I want a word with Granger.' Come on!' I said.
'Hey, I might ruin my reputation,' Draco said. He has a reputation?!
'What reputation?' I asked.
He glared at me.(almost as piercing as the stare of evil from Snape) It was almost like reading his thoughts. He's thinking, 'I know you know what I'm thinking Hermione, don't be such'a prat!' I rolled my eyes again. I had a habbit of doing that.
'Fine, I'll meet you in Hogsmeade then,' I said and walked away.
*
Hermione entered the Girl's Dormitory to check if everything was okay. She was a Perfect.
'Uh, guys?' Hermione said.
'Hi Mione!' Ginny, Lavender and Parvati said. Suddenly they sang, 'HERMIONE'S GOING ON A DATE! WITH DRACO MALFOY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!'
'Oh, come off it guys,' Hermione said annoyed.
'Here, we'll fix you up Mione. Malfoy would never guess it's you! It's Lavender and friends to the rescue!' Lavender squealed.
'Um, no thanks guys. I don't need a make over. It's only a date,' Hermione said waving her arms in front of her.
'No way! This is your first date. Here we got you a dress!' Ginny said.
'No, not the dress!' Hermione yelled in horror.
'Come here Mione! We'll fix you right up!' Parvati said evily as they approuched her.
'.......NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!' Hermione screamed.
*
'I - look - like - an - idiot,' Hermione said as she looked in the mirror.
'No way Mione! You look fab!' Ginny complimented. Hermione was wearing baby blue dress robes and her hair was shiny and straight.
'Ha! Another work done, by Lavender and co.!' Lavender squealed.
'I am not going out like this. I mean, come on! No one dresses in dress robes when they go to Hogsmeade!' Hermione complained.
'Oh stop complaining, Mione! You look so cute! I'm really jealous! And besides, if anyone questions you, tell them you're on a date with the Slytherin King,' Parvati said.
Hermione pouted.
'Can we come in now?' a voice asked through the door.
'Okay, you can come in now,' Ginny said. Harry and Ron entered.
'Wow, you look great, Mione,' Harry said.
'Yeah,' Ron said.
'Hey, Ron?' Hermione said.
'What?'
'Why are you holding a camera?'
'What?! Oh! This! Well, he he he. I-I just wanted to take some pictures in Hogsmeade,' Ron said. Hermione looked at him suspiously and walked out.
'Alright plan A in action,' Harry said, 'Where's Fred and George?'
'They'll meet us in Hogsmeade,' Ron said.
*
(In Hogsmeade)
Draco's POV
I can't believe I'm doing this.
'I can't believe you're doing this,' Den sneered.
'Just act cool, Draco,' Crabbe said.
'Yeah, act cool,' Den scowled.
'What's wrong with you, Grudge,' I asked. I perfectly new what was bothering him. I won the Quidditch game, that means I'm going on a date with Hermione and I'm going to the Chirstmas Ball with her as well. Jealous rat.
'Nothing's wrong!' Den snapped at me.
'Watch your mouth Grudge. You had better show me more respect!' I snapped at him.
'Malfoy! Malfoy!'
I turned around. Potter was running towards me, along with Weasel. But where's Hermione? She's supposed to be here for our date! I hope I don't look too stupid. I was dressed in black dress robes(well duh!) and as usual my hair was combed back. Goyle even said that it almost glowed, considering I used five bottles of jell.
'Well if it isn't Golden Boy, and his little sidekick, Waddling Weasel. Like the names? I thought about it over night,' I sneered at Potter and Weasley.
'Shut up! Hermione asks if you two are going to walk in the moonlight later on?' Ron said, grinning. I blushed.
'I-If she wants to,' I stamered.
'Don't be a git, Malfoy. Hermione wants to meet you now, come on,' Harry said.
'Me come with you? Tell her she has to come to me! I don't want to be seen with Golden Boy and Waddling Weasel,' I said. Crabbe and Golye sniggered stupidly.
'Nevermind, I'm here,' a voice said. I turned around and my mouth dropped open. Hermione looked so, so, so........I don't know! She just looks so, so, so....beautiful! There! I said it!
'H-Hi,' I said. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw that Grudge was staring also.
'Hello,' Hermione said, 'lets go, I'm starving!'
I chuckled. She's lucky that I'm rich, or else we wouldn't be able to pay for the high prices in Needle's Beetle's Restaurant. If Grudge were to date her, he would probably take her to the Three Broomsticks, that idiot.
'Alright, see you later,' I sneered to Potter and Weasley. I took Hermione's hand and we walked to the restaurant.
'Wow, it's beautiful in here,' Hermione said in awe.
'You've never been?' I asked. It was kind'a stupid, I new she didn't have the money to even get in. When I made reservations, all I had to do was tell them that I was the son of Lucius Malfoy, and they started worshipping the ground I walk on. Well what da ya know?
'No. Where do we seat?' Hermione asked me.
'Over here, my lady.'
I looked over, a waitress stood there. She led us over to an empty room.(away from all the people)
'Why are we here?' Hermione asked.
'Mr Malfoy made reservations, so you could eat in private,' the waitress said, and left. I turned red.
'Well, that's very nice,' Hermione said, sarcasticly. I gave her a glare and we sat down.
'What do you want to eat?' I drawled.
'Ugh! I don't know! I'm so hungry, I could eat a Hippogriff!' Hermione said. I chuckled. Hermione sure knew how to make me laugh.
'Fine then, I'll order for you,' I said.
'It's not going to have poison is it?'
'No, course not!'
'Just checking! You never know. You are the Slytherin King!'
'What do you mean by that?! I am not the Slytherin King!' I said.
'That's what everyone calls you in Gryffindor,(mostly the girls) either that or the Amazing Bouncing Ferret or Ferret Boy,' Hermione replied.
'Oh shut up!' I said. Hermione giggled and I ordered the food.
Minutes later, the food came. Lucky for me, Hermione said if the food didn't come, she'll eat me!
'Yum! This looks soooo good! I'm starving! Guess I don't have to eat you at all then,' Hermione said.
'Yeah.'
When we finished, I asked her about the moonlight walk thingy, you know, the one Weasley was talking about.
'So, do you want to go for a walk? It's still early,' I said. Hermione looked at me.
'Um, o-okay,' she said, blushing. We walked out of the restaurant, while the waiters kept saying things that'll make me want to come back, things like...
'Please, come again, Mr Malfoy!' or 'We enjoyed having you, please come again!' or 'We loved serving you, Mr Malfoy.' Ha! It was really funny. To think, they just do that cause I'm a Malfoy. I should try going into a shop without money and maybe they'll just give all their stuff for free.
*
'Ow! Ron, you're squishing me!' Harry wailed.
'I'm not squishing you, you're squishing me!' Ron said.
'Will you two be quiet?!' Fred hissed.
'Don't you two know anything about spying?!' George hissed. Harry and Ron shook their heads. They were all hiding in a bush watching Draco and Hermione. Fred and George bewitched the bush so if they moved, the bush would stick to them.(just imagine a walking bush)
'Are they going for the walk?' Fred asked.
'I think so, they're walking back to the grounds,' Harry said.
'Ah ha! Malfoy's taking her to the lake. Good choice. If I didn't really know better, I'd say that Malfoy really likes Mione,' Fred said.
'What do you mean?' Ron asked.
'Well, put it this way, Malfoy made a bet to Hermione, that if he wins against Harry in the Quidditch match, she has to go on a date with him. I mean, Malfoy didn't have to date Hermione, right? He said it was part of the bet. He could have asked for something better, like five hundred Galleons or something,' George explained.
'Though he doesn't need, five hundred Galleons. His dress robes probably cost more,' Harry said.
'Shhhh! Lets go!' Fred said. Slowly the bush began to follow Draco and Hermione.
'Be quiet, Ron! And stop eating those blackberries!' George hissed.
'Do you have the camera?' Fred asked.
'Yup,' Ron said his mouth full of berries.
*
'Do you have the feeling someone's following us?' Draco asked.
'No,' Hermione said. Suddenly there was a click.
Draco turned around. There was nothing but a couple of bushes.
'Humm....'
'Come on lets walk by the lake,' Hermione said pulling on his arm. Suddenly there was another click.
Draco looked back and saw nothing.
'Come on!' Hermione said.
They made their way towards the lake, when suddenly Draco began to feel uneasy.
'Wow, it's really beautiful here, huh?' Hermione asked holding Draco's hand.
'Um, uh, yeah,' Draco said. There was another click.
'Did you here that?!' Draco snapped. Hermione looked at him.
'Here what?'
'N-Nothing. Nevermind.'
click
Draco turned around. Nothing. Still nothing.
'What is the matter with you?!' Hermione snapped.
'I-It's nothing. I just keep hearing these clicking sounds,' Draco replied.
click
'Oh great. My date is hearing things. Why couldn't he just have taken me back to the castle?' Hermione mumbled.
'Think of what Parvati and Lavender would say,' Hermione thought. Suddenly she had a vision of Lavender and Parvati hovering above her.
'Kiss him! It'll bring him back to his sences, believe me!' Lavender said.
'But don't the guys supposed to kiss the girls first?' Hermione thought.
'Hello?! This is 2002! Not 1896!' Parvati yelled.
'Come on!' Lavender said.
'Kiss him!' they shouted, and disappeared.
'Great,' Hermione muttered. She looked at Draco who was looking wildly around for the clicking sounds.
'Say, Draco?' Hermione started.
'What?' Draco asked looking at her.
click
'There it is again!' Draco yelled.
'Oh for crying out loud!' Hermione said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
click
click
click
click
Draco felt himself go red out of embarressment. Suddenly Lavender and Parvati appeared again. (only Hermione can see them, cause she's daydreaming)
'That was a kiss?! You call that a kiss?!' Parvati screamed.
'We ment on the lips, Mione. Sheesh! You are way 1992!' Lavender said.
'What do you mean?! I put every thing into that kiss!' Hermione thought angrily.
'Do it again! And this time, on the lips!' Parvati squealed.
'Humph! Alright!' Hermione thought and looked back at Draco, who was dazed.
click
'Draco?' Hermione said.
'Wha?' Draco asked looking at the corner of his eye to see if the strange clicking sounds would come again.
'I hate you,' Hermione said, and kissed him on the lips.
click
click
click
click
click
click
click
click
Hermione pulled away from the kiss and looked at the bushes. Surely enough there was three pairs of red heads and one brown head sticking out of the bushes.
'Harry? Ron? Fred, George?' Hermione said.
'Uh oh! Busted!' Harry, Ron, Fred and George said.
