Three down and three to go. Who will win? Who knows? Oh yeah I do! Anyway,
on to the story

The next morning Draco was seated at his usual position at the Slytherin table. As he raised a slice of toast to his lips, he paused as a sound cut through the room.
"Draco Malfoy!!!"
He turned smoothly in his place to regard the fiery brunette with calm eyes. "Yes dear?"
Hermione narrowed her eyes at Draco. "Ha, ha, come with me." She stalked from the hall and Draco followed her obediently.
She yanked his water gun from the sling on his back. Draco made no move to stop her, just stared at her waiting for an explanation. She examined the gun carefully, before pointing it at him. "You shot at me last night!"
Draco's brows furrowed "No I didn't, I was in the library last night with Pansy."
"All night?"
"Yes. You can ask her."
"How do I know you didn't tell her to lie to me?"
"You don't." He smiled "That's the fun part."
She refreshed her accusation "You did it."
He sighed, pulling the water gun from her grasp and reattaching it to it's sling. He pulled her body into his arms. "Think what you want Hermione, but I plead not guilty."
He squeezed her slightly before turning and reentering the hall. Hermione stood and thought as Harry came up behind her. "I don't think it's him." Harry confessed.
She turned suddenly to give Harry the full censure of her chocolate eyes. "Why?"
Harry shrugged "A hunch." With that he walked past her and to breakfast.
Hermione decided around Potions that Draco was the culprit and therefore not to be trusted. And so she spent the day strategically ignoring and avoiding him. Just as she was heading for the library she found Pansy and the two decided to study together.
They sat at a table and slid their five books across the smooth wood. "Okay Hermione what do you get when you cross wolves bane and flobber worm mucus?" Hermione didn't respond.
"Hermione?" Pansy looked up from her book and was blasted with a crisp spurt of water. When her vision cleared she saw a cringing Hermione and a water gun.
"Sorry Pansy, I had to do it. And besides, I've forgotten half my Potions notes anyway."
Pansy burst out laughing. "Good one girl." She extended her hand in friendship. Hermione shook it.
"In fact I'm gonna tell you who I had. I had Ron."
"Did you get him?"
"Sure did. I guess once you get someone out you'd best keep your guard up." Pansy slid this last part in silkily, a hidden threat beneath.

Wonder who Hermione's murderer is. We'll see. Tootles!
