Chapter 5
"Mr. Malfoy!" McGonnagal screamed as she was passing out papers. "You and Ashlynn will be partners." "Hehe" Ashlynn giggled as she turned around and looked at Draco who had a sly grin on his face. "Hermione will be partnered with Pansy." "Oh my goodness." Ron exclaimed. "Bloody Hell, your joking." "I assure you I'm not Mr. Weasly. And with language like that I will be taking 5 points from Gryffindor. Oh yes and Mr. Weasly you will be partnered with Millicent Bulstrode." The look on Rons face was of sure horror. He looked as if someone hit him with another slug spell. "Which brings me to Mr. Potter." McGonnagal went on, "You will be paired with Mr. Goyle." "Excuse me Mrs. McGonnagal," Hermione started, "why are we even being paired up?" "Well Miss Granger, you and your partner will be moving in together for a week and seeing how you and your partner interact. Now I know some of you are partnered boy/girl but I trust that you all are mature enough to handle rooming with the opposite sex. This will start the day after tommorow." Just then the bell rang. "No homework! Just get with your partner and decide where you will stay, oh and start packing!"
"Ahem, Ashlynn." Draco studderd, "can I sit by you?" "Why of course, sit." Ashlynn said as she scooted over. "So umm, whos room are we going to stay in? It doesn't really matter too me." "Well how bout we stay in yours Draco. I mean your father is rich and you have a lot of stuff. Just tell Crabbe and Goyle they have to stay with their partners." Ashlynn had a big grin on her face. "Umm okay" Draco said and got up, "well I guess I better get Crabbe and Goyle outta there. Bye Ashlynn." "See you later Draco!"
"Uhh Pansy?" Hermione walked towards her in the Great Hall. "Oh its you. What do you want?" Pansy turned around and smirked. "I just wanted to know where we planned on staying?" "Well I definitely ain't staying in your room, probably have a bunch of muggle crap there." Pansy turned back around talking to a group of Slytherins. "Well fine then, I'll start packing, I'll have all my stuff ready by tommorow."
Draco walked into the Great Room, he seen Pansy, and decided he wanted to talk to her. "Hey, err, Pansy." "Hello Draco! How are you?" Pansy lit up like a light bulb. "I'm just fine. How are you taking staying with Hermione?" "Oh yeah, I'm trying to forget about it. Oh yeah your staying with Ashlynn, aren't you?" Pansy's smile went away. "Yeah, it should be fun, she's a pretty cool chick." "Yeah, um Draco can I ask you something." "Sure", Draco said timidly. "Do you like Me? Do you like Hermione. Do you like Ashlynn? I am so clueless about who you like. Yule Ball ain't that far away and I can't even tell if you want to go with me!" Pansy was in tears. "Oh! Don't cry Pansy! You know me and you will always be best friends. Its just I am confused about who I like right now. Your like the hottest girl in this school, and the one I have known the longest. Ashlynn is by far the funniest and one of the richest. Hermione, well its one of those I know I cant have her, but I still want her!" "Okay, well I still love you Draco. No matter what you do I will always love you." Pansy turned and walked towards the stairs.
"Well that's one down." Draco turned, "Now where can I find Hermione. "Well Ron." "Ah, there she is," Draco said "Hermione, can I talk to you for a minute." "Um sure," excuse me Ron, Hermione said and walked off with Draco.
"Come in here with me," Draco said as he opened a door into hidden staircase. "Hermione, it has been so long since we have been alone, and I miss you so much." "Oh Draco, don't say anything. Just kiss me." Hermione jumped on top of him. They kissed for awhile. A long while. When they finally stopped they realized that the door was open. "Oh my gosh! Draco did you know the door was open?" "I had no idea." Draco said as he was putting his shirt back on. "What if someone saw us," Hermione gasped. "Well lets just get out of here as soon as possible. Pretend like none of this has happened. Remember don't look at me in the halls, and if I make fun of you don't take it personally, I just have to keep up my appearances." Draco said as he walked down the stairs. "I'll leave first. Don't leave for a few minutes, you don't want to look suspicious."
After a few minutes Hermione left, walked to her corridor told the fat lady the password and went to her room. She only could think who could of seen them, and who would they tell. There was something else that bothered her. Why did Draco not want no one to know that they were a couple. Were they even a couple? Or was he just using her as a booty call? She decided that she wanted to find out. She stole Harry's invisibility cloak and headed down to the Slytherin Common Room
"Daraecomm" Crabbe tried to sputter as he was stuffing his face "Adrienne like mm loves, mmme. Armyum like mm today shemm gave me---- a cupmm cake." "You are so repulsive Crabbe. Is that all you think about is food? Well I have my own problems. See Pansy wants like to marry me and have kids and a big house in the country, which is all good except, I want to play the field. I mean common I am only 16. Hermione is a great kisser I mean like damn, but that's like one of the only things I know about her. We never talk when were together. Ashlynn, well I am gonna get to know her a lot more within the next week since we will move in together. Oh and Millicent keeps sending me little secret admirer notes. Its just. weird." "Well" Crabbe swallowed. "What are you going to do?" "That's just it, any of the 3 would be perfectly fine with me. But I can't have all three of them. Well Crabbe, thanks you have kind of helped me."
"Harry! Harry Potter. Where are you Harry?" Ron walked around searching for his good buddy. "There you are, bloody Hell what are you doing?" "Shh!" Harry hushed him, "look isn't she perfect?" "Get a hold of yourself, its only Cho. You might as well give up on her. She hasn't been the same since Cedric passed." Ron gave his sympathy look. "Ron, you know I still like her. I probably always will. Just like you liking Hermione-" "Shh! No one knows about that except you!" "Well you better tell her before she and Draco start having a love affair.
"Mr. Malfoy!" McGonnagal screamed as she was passing out papers. "You and Ashlynn will be partners." "Hehe" Ashlynn giggled as she turned around and looked at Draco who had a sly grin on his face. "Hermione will be partnered with Pansy." "Oh my goodness." Ron exclaimed. "Bloody Hell, your joking." "I assure you I'm not Mr. Weasly.
