I got!
"Oh come on Harry, don't you want to visit Hermione?" Ron asked for the millionth time.
"Ron," Harry glared, looking up from his Potion's essay. "You know she does not want to be disturbed."
"It's been a month, don't you think Hermione needs a break? We don't see her during or after classes and meals too, it seems like she doesn't come to Hogwarts anymore," Ron reasoned. "I'm worried about her."
"There's nothing to worry about, I'm sure she'll come down for meals today," Harry said.
Ron slumped back against the couch with a book on his lap.
***************************
Harry dashed down the hall darting here and there, trying to avoid bumping into students. Just as he was about to turn the corner, he crashed into someone. Harry fell to the ground seeing stars dancing.
"Sorry," Harry said to a red headed girl.
Wait...red-headed girl...GINNY!
"That's okay Harry," Ginny smiled sweetly.
"Where are you going?" Harry tried to make a conversation.
"I'm mailing a letter to mum and dad, update them on recent events."
Not knowing what to do, Harry made a grab for the letter, but Ginny backed away, looking at him curiously.
"What are you doing?" Ginny said.
"I...err-um I was, that uh.."
From behind Ginny emerged Draco and Hermione. They took a look at Ginny and stared wide eyed. Draco mouthed, "distract her." Hermione gave him a stern look but said nothing. Harry tore his eyes off them and back to Ginny.
"Just wanted to see," Harry smiled.
Ginny raised an eyebrow at him. Even though she is not that bright, she's not blind. She saw Harry look at someone behind her. Ginny was about to turn around and maybe glare at the person, but Harry caught on quickly.
"Ginny!" Harry yelled.
That got her attention. She looked at him quizzically. Harry looked at Draco and Hermione again who seemed to be rooted to their spots. Harry gulped and looked at Ginny.
"What is it?" Ginny asked.
"I uh, this!" Harry proposed.
He grabbed Ginny by the shoulders and crushed her lips with his own. Hermione stared wide-eyed, pushing down the fits of giggles that were about to explode. Harry opened an eye and gave the two a intense glare. Draco quickly shoved Hermione along with him before she could burst out laughing. As soon as Hermione and Draco were out of sight, Harry pulled away. His lips were hurting him very badly, maybe he shouldn't have pushed so hard. Ginny gaped at him, apparently shocked. Harry tried his best to smile casually, but it ended up as a lopsided grin.
"What was that for?" Ginny said, touching her lips gingerly.
"A..uh, hi, kiss," Harry stammered.
Ginny gave Harry a raised eyebrow before walking away. Harry let out a sigh of relief. Hermione and Draco came running over laughing.
"That was hilarious!" Draco exclaimed.
"I only did that for you guys, besides, I was going to come and ask you two if you can go eat dinner in the Great Hall today. Ron is getting REALLY suspicious," Harry said.
"I don't blame him. It is awfully curious that I have been gone for about a month now," Hermione said.
"Dumbledore told us to stay in our rooms though!" Draco reasoned.
"He can't expect us to stay cooped up in that stuffy room an he? No one will know. We'll just stay away from each other, and not let anything slip. Its that simple," Hermione said.
"What if something goes wrong?" Draco asked.
"Trust me, nothing will!" Hermione said.
***************************
Draco followed Harry and Ron to the Great Hall, ready to eat dinner. Ron kept on springing questions out of the blue, but Harry told him to "shut up." The Gryffindor table filled with extra chatter as Draco sat down. Food was delicious like always, and nothing seemed to have gone wrong. Draco, playing his role, chatted to Ron and Harry about books. IT seemed like Ron did not like the subject much, but he went along with it.
"Hey Malfoy isn't talking much lately is he?" Ron asked, looking over at the Slytherin table.
Hermione had her eyes glued to the plate of food in front of her, Pansy swooning beside. With some quick thinking, Draco decided.
*Granger, come over here and cause some trouble. You know the usual sneering and insulting. Weasley's still suspicious. Hermione got up from the Slytherin table and walked over to the Gryffindor's. She put up the best sneer she could muster up.
"Weasley, how does that food taste?" Hermione sneered.
"Like its any of your business," Harry retorted.
Hermione ignored Harry.
"Better eat up, I expect there will be hardly any food on your table. Your mother probably ate everything there is, not like there's much to eat at you garbage dump. What did you call it? Oh yeah! Your home!"
Hermione winced inside; she really did not mean a single word f what she just said. Ron's face turned red and he drew out his wand.
"You, me, outside, now!" Ron said savagely.
"Ron! No, put that away," Draco mumbled to him. "We're going to get in trouble."
This is getting way out of hand! Harry tried pulling Ron's wand away from him, but Ron clung on too tightly. Hermione could feel the many eyes looking at the group, anxious in knowing what will happen next. She gulped and shakily drew out her wand and took a step backward. Ron stood up glaring.
"Well what are you waiting for Malfoy?" Ron snapped.
"Who said I was waiting?" Hermione snapped back.
She pointed her wand at the plate of mashed potatoes at the Slytherin table. This caught Ron's attention as he looked over. Hermione took the chance to grab Ron's wand.
"Accio mashed potatoes!" Hermione shouted.
She quickly threw the wand back at Ron, which he stupidly caught. Hermione ducked as more than 30 plates of mashed potatoes came flying over, hitting Ron. Mashed potatoes splattered all over Ron's robes, face and hair, making him look like a very odd looking snowman. Underneath it all, Ron turned red and scowled. He raised his wand but Draco quickly pretending he accidentally tripped over his robes, pushed Ron out of the way, the spell narrowing missed Hermione. The whole school was now staring at them.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Fred shouted over the sudden silence.
Both of twins seized several plates of food and hurled them. It hit Padma and Marcus Flint. No later, food were flying all over the Great Hall, the professors were trying to stop it but made no success. Dumbledore watches lightly amused as the professors were hit with all sorts of food.
"STOP!" Dumbledore yelled.
It was as if food stopped in mid-air and the time stopped as everyone looked over at Dumbledore.
"If you are willing to clean this place up, then continue on with your game. If you are not, I suggest you stop and lead back up to your common rooms," Dumbledore said looking around at everyone.
There was a sudden shuffle as everyone dropped the food they were holding back onto the tables, and hurrying out of the Great Hall. Hermione ducked through the crowd and silently went back to her new room without anyone noticing.
"Hey Hermione, are you going to come back now? You know, sleep and hang out in the common room?" Ron asked, he was practically drenched in mashed potatoes.
"I uh...can't, too much work, not time for fun," Draco said.
"We'll hang out later on then, after you finished then," Harry said helping him out.
Harry and Ron said goodbye to Draco as they headed back to their common rooms, Draco sprinted back to his new one.
"I can't believe you did that! Your a goody Gryffindor and all," Draco said as soon as he walked in finding Hermione changed.
"Gryffindor's aren't goody and all, it beats being a Slytherin," Hermione's eyes flashed dangerously. "Besides, I had no choice."
"You could have ignored him."
"Ron's dumb, but not that much, he'll notice the way I just ignore him without insulting his family. You told me to go and cause trouble in the first place!"
"You didn't have to listen to me! You've got your own brain-"
"Excuse me? I'm in your body with your stupid brain!" Hermione fumed.
"Stupid? Oh no Granger, don't you shit with me. I can just skim through a book and memorize it all. But you! You sink your eyes into a book, unable to remember anything unless if you read it a couple million times," Draco yelled.
"I don't need to put up with your attitude, I'm going to go take a shower. You'll be pretty damn lucky if I come out of the shower, not wanting to rip you apart," Hermione said through gritted teeth.
With that she stormed upstairs still very angry. It was quite surprising Hermione did not break the door when she slammed it shut, but the roof seemed to have shook a bit. Draco glared darkly at the fireplace and plopped down on the couch, cursing silently. The shower seemed to have calmed Hermione down a bit. Why did she have to put with him?
"Bloody potion," Hermione muttered.
She grabbed a towel from a neat stack in a corner, and started drying her hair.
"Stupid blond jerk. Stupid Malfoy. Stupid hot-" Hermione stopped herself.
She has been trying to ignore the feelings she's been having for Draco lately, and now it comes steamrolling back. Hermione enjoyed the time she and Draco spent together, when he is actually being civil. Especially the nights where she got to wrap her arms around him. The argument they just had was a bit silly; maybe she should go down and apologize? No! She apologized too many times; she will have to leave it to him.
Draco sighed to himself angrily. Stupid Granger insulted him first so technically it's not his fault.
"I hate her," Draco mumbled.
Or do you actually like her? An annoying voice in the back of his head taunted.
I do not! Draco argued back horrified. But the thought struck him a bit odd. If he didn't like Hermione, why did he take her form when he drank the potion?
I think its time to stop being so denial, the voice continued.
Maybe the voice is right. Draco frowned slightly. Now what? She he go and apologize? Hermione started it though which makes it her fault, meaning she will have to apologize first.
Stubborn git, the voice muttered before disappearing.
Hermione was in the middle of finishing drying her hair when a pounding headache sank through her.
"Oh no, not again! Can't we stay apart for a damn minute?" Hermione snapped angrily clutching her head.
Something warm oozed down her forehead. Alarmed, Hermione looked in the mirror. I'm bleeding! Hermione thought shocked.
You too? Draco thought back, quickly scrambling up the stairs.
Hermione opened the door to the washroom feeling faint suddenly. Blood continued coming; if Draco doesn't come soon, she'll probably die from lack of blood. The blood seemed to have come more quickly this time. Draco barged into the washroom and hurried to Hermione's side. Nothing happened and they both looked at each other confused. Both of them were almost blinded by the pain. Squinting, Draco grabbed Hermione and pressed his lips against hers. Hermione slowly responded and soon both their tongues were battling each other, in hope to conquer one's mouth. The pair slowly broke apart gasping for air. Hermione's face flushed pink as it dawned on her what she just did. Kissed Draco in her body, meaning she kissed herself. But the point is, Draco was the one who kissed her first. He looked at her concerned.
"What's wrong?" Draco said.
"Wha? Oh! N-nothing," Hermione muttered.
"Shocked?" Draco smirked.
"N-no..." Hermione said, too obvious she is shocked.
"That is not all there is to be surprised about," Draco spoke softly, but before Hermione could ask he spoke again.
"I'm tired, let's go to bed, together. I don't want to see anymore blood."
Hermione raised an eyebrow at him.
"Together?" Hermione said.
Draco blushed and muttered, "not in that way." Draco left the washroom, soon followed by Hermione. They both changed into new fresh p.j's and crawled into bed. The moonlight shone through the window as they both slowly drifted asleep.
A/N: OMG! THEY KISSED! **dances** they kissed! They kissed they kissed! They kissed! Hehe! Hope you enjoyed this chapter, a tiny bit more fluffiness! Hehe! And yeah, sorry, no preview for the next chapter, no time left, I have to go to Chinese school. I should be able to type the next chapter out before Monday! See you!
