A/N: Another short chapter and I know I know I hate when people do that but I promise I will update it soon!
Hermione had left to go to bed hours ago, but she lay awake eyes wide open. *What is he thinking? Telling me something like that. What the hell am I suppose to believe? God I wish I knew why he just all of a sudden says this.* *Maybe because he actually does like you* a small voice told her. *No, no he can't. But then again, but I would never like him if he did, no.* Hermione tried to convince herself as she stared out at the glittering full moon.
Draco turned away from the brightness of the moon and back to the fire. *I tried to be nice about it. I tried to tell Hermione how I felt but would she listen? No. So now I won't be so nice about it. I'll find another girl, make her jealous. No, that won't work if she doesn't like me she wouldn't be jealous.* He looked around the room as he thought he heard a mouse. * But maybe she doesn't like me yet because she still doesn't believe I like her so maybe once I prove to her….* Draco walked over to the table and grabbed a piece of paper. *What do girls like? Flowers, jewelry, candy? I suppose I could get her all of those.* Draco sat down and began to make a list. *There perfect.*
Ron and Harry hadn't told Hermione of there plan. As they walked down the corridor they tired not to smell the plant they carried in there hands. They had gotten bagweed so when Malfoy smelled it they could ask him any questions and they would get the truth and he would forget they where the ones asking. They had found out the Slytherin password following some first years wearing the invisibility cloak. But then they saw two girls go in and decided to slip behind them. As the walked into the unfamiliar common room they saw that it was mostly empty. Only a few fifth years and some younger students hung around. Harry and Ron decided to wait until it was just them and Malfoy. Finally the last people left for bed and only Draco was left. Ron and Harry walked silently over to the chair he was seated in. Putting the bagweed under his nose they waited for it to work it's magic. When Draco looked dazed and sleepy they new it was safe to begin to ask there questions. Ron went first. "So Malfoy why did you give Hermione that note?" "Because I had to tell her the truth" Ron looked at Harry or the direction he thought Harry was. "It must not be working yet, you try one." Harry thought of what to ask. "Malfoy, have you always been jealous of Ron, Hermione and me?" "Not of you, of what you have." "Well he's starting to sound himself, lets go on we only have a short time yet." "Malfoy, is your father a death eater?" Ron asked to make sure it really was working. "Yes" Ron and Harry nodded at what they knew. "Well now he's definatly telling the truth about all the questions." Ron gasped. "Ok only time for one more question. Malfoy do you like Hermione?" "Yes"
