PS.- I forgot to mention that they're all in their 6th year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the rest of the practice Hermionie tried to ignore Draco and the professors. This was a very hard task because she was the lead girl and she had no choice but to work directly with Draco and the professors who were all shooting her strange looks. On the other hand Ron was fuming about the amount of interaction that she and Draco had. Luckily for Hermionie Ron ad not yet found out what type of relationship Romeo and Juliet had. Which was kind of hard because that was what the whole play was about. That showed how mad he was, he wasn't even paying attention to the play!
The Slitherins were all the Montague family while Gryffindor were all Capulet. There were some exceptions of corse like Harry being the prince and some Gryffindor 7th year being Friar Lawrence.
After practice Ron asked Hermionie if she could help him with his lines, realizing that their friendship was more important than OWL studying she reluctantly agreed. Every once in a while Ron kept trying to get her attention but Hermionie knew what was coming and quickly brought his attention to some line he was saying wrong or a word that he skipped.
Later that evening Hermionie was reading her lines aloud in her red and gold loveseat in the head boy/girl common room. When she got to a certain part she put her book down and walked to the large and open French window. She closed her eyes, leaned out and smelled the evening air. While doing this she didn't hear the door silently open and a mysterious figure slip into the shadows. She sat in a small chair facing the window. She pulled Crookshanks into her lap and stoked her softly.
"Oh Crookshanks I don't know what to do! How can I still be friends with Ron without breaking his heart and how can I go on with this play! Even though I'm glad that Romeo wasn't Ron I still don't know about Draco."
At the mention of his name Draco listened more intently.
"Sure he's handsome and he is. Well. what more can I say! But still he's an evil git who won't stop at anything to hurt or annoy me." At this she stood up (much to Crookshanks displeasure) and walked to the center of the room.
"O Romeo, Romeo" Said Hermionie to no one in particular. "'Tis by thy name that is my enemy. What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Discard thy name, which is no part of thee, and in return take all myself."
Draco couldn't keep still any longer and he stepped out of the shadows and said, "I take thee at thy word." He said stepping closer to a frightened Hermionie. "Call me but love, and henceforth I will never be Romeo."
Hermionie went a ghostly color and began wondering how much he had herd, but he wasn't able to continue there thoughts because Draco was only about an inch from her face and he slowly slipped his strong arms around her. Hermionie couldn't move if she wanted to but part of her didn't want to. He kissed her slowly and deliberately as if toying with her. When it got too much for Hermionie she kissed him back and soon they were on the sofa hugging each other like they would never let go. Suddenly Hermionie jerked her head up and slowly got up. Draco just stared at her unmoving and then slowly got up too. Hermionie didn't know what to do so she just backed up against the wall and quietly made her way to her room. Draco turned around and paused before entering his room.
"O good night, good night. Parting is such a sweet sorrow that I shall say good night 'till it be morrow' Hermionie whispered to herself
That night both Hermionie and Draco slept with confusion in their minds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Draco got up unusually late. Part of the reason for that was so he could let Hermionie have her space and the other part was that he was tiered, he had barely gotten any sleep last night thinking about Hermionie. He know full well though that she was probably the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermionie Had gotten up at 3 O' Clock so as to avoid Draco. Did he actually like her or was this just all a game? Was he going to tell the whole Slitherin house or was he going to keep it hush hush? Hermionie found it impossible to study because she had been trying for the past 3 hours and she had only read one chapter! So she gave up and went to her dormitory. Surly Draco would be gone by now. How wrong she was. There he was sitting by the window in the exact same chair. When she saw him she immediately turned to go out.
"Don't go" called Draco.
For some reason she couldn't defy him and she walked to the chair. Draco turned around to face her and motioned her to sit on the sofa.
"I just wanted to ask you if last night meant anything" She blurted out. Draco looked at her in surprise before answering.
"Did you want it to?"
They both stared at each other for a while before Hermionie stood up and knelt by Draco. Quietly she slipped her arms around him.
"Yes. I did." She said simply. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The week went by quickly and before they knew It was Friday. Harry, Ron and Neville had all gotten double detention from Snape.
"That SOB put us with Neville on purpose!" said Ron, fuming.
"Ron it's your own fault, had you not been arguing with Draco you wouldn't have gotten the detention. And don't call the professor that!" Said Hermionie.
"Oh it's Draco now is it! Haven't you two gotten to calling each other sugar, muffin or pumpkin pie!!!" Ron said nearly Screaming.
"I only call him Draco because it's his name!" Hermionie hissed back. "If you would like me to go around calling everyone by their sir name then so be it Weasely!!!"
Ron looked as if someone had hit him over the head with a brick. Suddenly from around the corner came Draco Malfoy and His rather large group of Slitherins.
"Finally break up with your girlfriend Weasely?" Said Pansy Parkinson. " I don't blame you, she is after all mudblood trash!" Before Hermionie could react, Ron, Harry and every other Griffindor in the hall was cursing and Hexing every Slitherin they could find. Ron suddenly threw aside his wand and dove for Malfoy who had his back turned. Draco would have Won if at the same time the Weasely twins didn't do a different hex each on the same person. Draco Malfoy.
"STOP! STOP!" Shrieked Hermionie. Everyone froze. "50 points from Slitherin for provoking a fight. And 50 points from Griffindor for Attacking fellow students. Anyone who needs to go to the hospital wing follow me!" She scanned the dumbstruck crowd until her eyes fell on the person Ron was sitting on. Draco!
She swiftly went to his side. He wasn't breathing! She paid Ron no attention even though he had a broken arm and a bloody nose. She magiked Draco onto a stretcher and a few Slitherins and Griffindors followed silently.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU THINKING, TAKING 50 POINTS OFF OF GRIFFINDOR!! WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT MALFOY'S KNOCKED OUT" Screamed Ron.
That was the end of the line.
"RON HOW DARE YOU! HAVE YOU EVEN TRIED TO FIND OUT HOW I FEEL! I. DO. NOT. BELONG. TO. YOU! AND DID YOU EVEN CARE THAT IT WASN'T DRACO WHO CALLED ME A MUDBLOOD!?!?!?!?!
Ron was speechless.
