Chapter 7
"Do you have a date for the dance?" Hermione asked him.
"Are you kidding? I'd never go with you!"
Hermione giggled. "Duh, like I'd want to go with you."
"Then why are you asking me? Besides, I already told you about Kathryn. She's the only girl I'd want to date."
Hermione brightened up. "Will you go to the dance with me?"
Malfoy gave her the weirdest look he could make. "You're kidding me. Besides, the dance is so far away. Why think about it now?"
Hermione giggled again. "No, you see, I have the greatest idea."
"What kind of idiot idea do you have now? We hate each other."
"Then why have we been talking lately?"
"We haven't," Malfoy reminded her. "Only once or twice."
"Whatever. Anyway, we can go to the dance together, and make Harry and Kathryn jealous!" she exclaimed.
Malfoy gave her a blank look.
"But we're going to have to convince everybody that we actually like each other," Hermione continued. "That means we're on first name basis."
"Wait, I haven't even agreed to this. And do you actually like Harry?" he laughed.
Hermione sighed. "Listen, we can make Kathryn like you again, and maybe Harry will ask me out."
"That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard," Malfoy muttered. "Besides, how are we going to convince people that we actually like each other? We can't stand each other."
"We'll figure it out. So, do you want to do it?"
Malfoy inhaled. "Deal," he finally said.
