Chapter 10: The Proposition
Thanx to all those who reviewed!
Here goes chapter 10...
Walking through the front doors with Draco Malfoy made Hermione feel a little uneasy. She was praying not to run into anyone she knew, as Draco's hand rested on her right hip. He steered her up the marble staircase towards the Library, and found a cozy table in the back, resting in the corner. Surprisingly, Malfoy pulled out a chair for her and then seated himself opposite her. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Lavender run behind a bookcase where Parvati was no doubt awaiting more gossip. Hermione cringed at the thought of what they were talking about, as Malfoy leaned a little closer.
" See Granger? I told you I had something to show you. Believe me now?" Malfoys cold glare and evil glint returned as he said these taunting words. A pain arose in Hermiones chest and her eyes started to well, but she was determined not to let Malfoy see her cry again. She couldn't help remembering how nice he had been under the tree. Why all of a sudden was he being the old Malfoy, and why had he brought her here? Just to taunt her and make her feel even worse? "What do you want Malfoy?" She sneered just as malevolently. Malfoy looked a little taken aback for a second, but quickly regained composure and simply stated, "I have a proposition for you Granger, one you'll find hard to refuse."
Harry dawdled back up to Gryffindor tower, smiling slightly, remembering his meeting with Cho. While going out with Hermione, he had forgotten how much he liked spending time with her. The portrait swung open, and he walked in to find Ron reading. Harry laughed out loud at the sight of his best friend reading a book. "What?" Ron asked. "Oh, nothing, I've never seen you read a book since I've known you." Harry joked. Ron smiled and held up the book so Harry could see the title, "Quidditch Through the Ages", and laughed. " I should have known. Anyways, have you seen Hermione around?" "She went looking for you, I told her you were in the Great Hall for break...erm...lunch." "Good, do you think you could do me a favor?" Ron nodded his head. " Keep Hermione away from the boys dormitories, and could you also go find her and tell her to meet me on the Quidditch Pitch in half an hour?" Ron cocked his eyebrow and was about to ask why when Harry hastily intervened. "You'll see why later." Harry proceeded towards the dormitories, and Ron left to find Hermione.
"So that's your proposition?" Hermione looked at Malfoy skeptically. Malfoy simply nodded. "What's in it for you?" An evil grin spread across Malfoys face. " I was just getting to that." Malfoy smiled again and leaned back in his chair, putting his hands behind his head. Hermione suddenly realized what he wanted in return. " Malfoy I am not giving you any sexual favours!" Hermione said in a hushed whisper. The grin did not fade from Malfoys face, and he calmly said, "Relax Granger, I just wanted to get there before Potter did.you know de- virginize the homework princess." Hermione was appalled, and was about to smack him across the face when she had a better idea. A smug smile came across her face and she shrugged her shoulders, looking across the table innocently. Malfoys reaction was priceless; he gasped and nearly fell off his chair. "You mean..you mean..you and Potter have already..so soon? It's only been a month for Christ sakes!" Hermione shrugged her shoulders once again and leaned across the table at Malfoy. " The homework princess needs to go and get some homework done, but I'll keep your proposition in mind." She said and licked his earlobe. Malfoys eyes widened and he watched Hermione walk away, as Ron darted out from a corner of the library, with a shocked and disgusted look planted on his face.
A/N: Well, it's a short chapter and I know Hermiones not like that and the cliffhanger sux...but just review wont you? ~MUAH~
