Hermione gazed after the bus as it became a mere spot against the pale sky.
"Great." She whispered flopping down beside Malfoy. "Now I'm stuck here
with you!" She snarled, quite annoyed.
Malfoy smiled. "My evil plot is working." He said.
"What evil plot?" She asked reluctantly not knowing if she wanted to know. "My evil plot to turn your life into a complete and total hell." He replied smoothly.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Of course! That evil plot." She stared into the setting sun. Watching a sunset with Malfoy she had never even imagined possible, yet here she was. Just then she heard a growling sound from behind.
She turned to tell Malfoy to shut up but instead came face to anger stricken face with Professor McGonagall. Then Snape stepped forward. "Miss Granger, you have been irresponsible to not be at the bus at the appointed time." Hissed Snape, "And now you must be punished."
McGonagall cleared her throat. "Although your partner is entitled to pick which of either me or Professor Snape to punish you." She said gently before turning to Malfoy. "Which do you choose Mr. Malfoy?"
Malfoy looked from Hermione to McGonagall to Snape and smirked. "Snape." He said simply.
He watched Hermione's face fall and Snape smile grimly. "Very well. You will carry out your punishment when we get to the hotel." He said gliding back towards the bus.
Hermione glared daggers at Draco all the bus ride to the hotel. As they all filed off the bus Hermione followed Snape gloomily up a flight of steps Draco skipping along beside her.
They reached an office that was completely green. Snape took a seat at his desk. "Now Miss Granger your punishment is to kiss Mr. Malfoy." Snape ordered calmly.
Hermione was flabbergasted, a look that Draco matched perfectly. "Wha.What?" "Kiss Mr. Malfoy." Snape repeated calmly. "It ensures you won't break the rules again."
"But, but I can't-"
"You can and you will Miss Granger or you will be suspended." Snape swept from his chair and placed his hand on the doorknob and turned abruptly.
"You will stay in here and kiss while I'm gone, I will be timing you for two minutes. The worse the offense the longer the time, oh and if you don't kiss by the time I close this door an alarm will sound and I will double your time each time it sounds." With that Snape closed the door and Hermione reluctantly let Draco's mouth close over hers.
Hermione and Draco walked down the hall back to their shared room. "I can't believe that, that was the most disgusting, the most vile thing I've ever done!" Hermione ranted as she stomped.
"Oh look Pinocchio, your nose is growing another foot and a half." Malfoy grinned.
"Oh shut up!" She huffed. "Now Granger you can't tell me you didn't like it."
"Oh yes I can! I hated it!" Whatever you say Pinocchio." She growled in response as they entered their room.
Harry heard Hermione scream and knew why. He was also being forced to share a king sized bed with his partner just like the rest of the class.
Pansy had her ear pressed against the wall trying to hear Malfoy and Hermione's conversation. "Why couldn't I get Draco?" She pouted giving up on the unsuccessful eavesdropping and flopping down on the bed.
"This is no picnic for me either sweetie!" Harry groaned sitting beside her. And oddly enough they fell asleep automatically, Their bickering would have to wait until morning.
Malfoy smiled. "My evil plot is working." He said.
