"Wow. This is amazing. The 'perfect' Hermione Granger is -actually- in
detention."
"Yup. Pretty amazing!" I laughed
Draco stared at me. I kept my eyes on my paper, but I knew what he was thinking. Why did I laugh at his teasing remark? Why didn't I tell him to "Shutup" or something?
"So. What did you do?" Draco finally said
"Talked back to Sprout"
"No way! Are you serious?"
"I'm dead serious"
"Why?"
"I'm tired of being so perfect. I'm so boring. I want to be someone new."
"Cool"
"What is?"
"You're not gonna be a friggin annoying teachers pet anymore!" Draco laughed, "And. This is our first conversation that doesn't included name calling or arguing."
"Yeah. You're right." I smiled
McGonagall then came in. "Alright you two. You still have an hour left of detention, but I have to go to a staff meeting. You are dismissed."
Draco and I walked out. I didn't care if people saw us walking and talking together anymore. It was 6:00 and no one was there anyway. Everyone was probably doing their homework in their room.
"Um Draco?"
"What did you call me?"
"Oh my God. I called him Draco" I thought blushing
"Never mind that. I was wondering. Can you teach me how to be...um...what's the word.."
"Bad? That depends."
"Depends on what?"
"On how much you're gonna pay me!" He laughed again and I felt like punching him. But I had to act cool.
"Nah. I'm just playin with ya. Sure."
"Really?!"
"Yeah. To get a 'Goodie two shoes' on my side is a miracle"
"I'm not on your side."
"Whatever. You wanna begin now?"
"Yes please"
"Hold up. First rule. Don't EVER say please or thank you or any of that crap anymore."
"Ok"
"Second rule. You have to lean how to say 'I don't care'"
"Ok. I don't care"
"No I mean..never mind."
"Hermione!" It was Ron. Malfoy and I were passing the Gryffindor Tower and Ron must have spotted us.
"Alright Granger. Here's you're chance." Draco whispered
I took a big breath. "What do you want Weasley?"
"What?"
"You heard me. What the hell do you want?"
"Um..I was just coming to tell you that we're having a party for our Quidditch team in the common room. But it looks like you're to busy hear with you're new boyfriend!"
"Well, so what if he's my boyfriend? What are you going to do about it?"
Ron gave Draco and me a dirty look and walked back to the tower very pissed off.
I looked at Draco and I blushed. I had just called him my boyfriend!
"Yup. Pretty amazing!" I laughed
