A/N:OMG!!! (Screaming here) so many reviews! I hope you liked the idea of
them becoming friends first and the little twist with Voldemort's heir. And
people who want me to email them; I can't because I never even check my
mail. Sorry! I have to keep up my skool work. Falling behind here in class
for you! Feel privileged! ;) Do you think they should find his heir or
not?? BTW I have no idea about male fashion, sorry!
Spyder-x: In answer to your question, Harry is banned during OotP, because Umbridge bans him right? But now she's gone, all the educational decree crap things are gone too. So Harry isn't banned anymore.
Lady Scarlett 1: I think it was fluffy! That's just me though. I will make it fluffier, even though I don't particularly like writing fluff.
Disclaimer: I think you know it by now! I don't think I'm going to be putting these in anymore. If your really worried, or you actually think I'm JK, then refer to chappie one. I don't think anyone even reads these!
~*~*~*~ Chapter 13: Draco's new friends and. Girlfriend? ~*~*~*~
HERMIONE'S POV
I stepped in between Harry and the others and Draco. "Look, over the holidays I was stuck here without anyone to hang out and I made friends with Draco funnily enough." I winked at Draco. The others all looked at me shocked. "Don't look at me like that. I have made friends with him, and he is going to try and be civil towards you, so I suggest you make it easier, and do the same." They looked at me in awe. "Ok now sit down. There is a lot of food on the table, heaps of lollies and I'll put a movie on later."
Everyone sat down on a beanbag thingy. It was quiet for a while during which we drank our hot chocolates. I turned and started talking to Ginny and Hilary. Harry and Ron started talking to each other. Draco looked pretty uncomfortable and out of it. I caught Harry's eye and gave him a pleading look. He rolled his eyes and struck up a conversation with Draco. About half an hour later, everyone was feeling a lot more comfortable. Draco apparently had apologised to Ron and Harry for his behaviour over the last years, and they had accepted it. They were talking about Voldemort and what Draco knew. I smiled gratefully at Harry.
"Hey Mione. I'm starving! Can we eat already?" Ron asked. I sighed. How did I know that was coming? We all sat around the coffee table which I'd charmed to be taller, and turned the beanbags into chairs. We ate for about an hour. Ginny and Hilary were telling me about the interesting things they had bought over the holidays, and Harry, Ron and Draco were talking about quidditch. It was as if they were friends.
"I am so bored. How about we play truth or dare (so original I know!)" Ginny smirked at us. Everyone agreed. I didn't think it was such a good idea seeing as Ginny was smiling devilishly, especially at me. I charmed the chairs into beanbags and we sat in a circle.
GINNY'S POV
"Ok guys. I'm going first. We need a bottle." Ron got up and brought back an empty butterbeer one. I span the bottle. It landed on Hilary.
"Ok Hilary. Truth or Dare."
"Um, Dare."
"Ok. I dare you to. ooh I got it! On Monday at breakfast, you have to change Snape into a punk with blue hair in front of everyone." Everyone cracked up at this. Hilary looked horrified.
"Ok Hilary it's your turn" I told her. She spun the bottle and it landed on Ron.
"Dare."
"Ok Ron. You have to put another spell on Snape after I've done the punk spell so he jumps on the table and raps a song from the Weird Sisters. Any song." There was going to be chaos on Monday especially for Snape. Ron span the bottle. It landed on Hermione.
"Truth."
"Ok Mione. There is something I have wanted to ask you for AGES. Did you ever kiss Victor Krum at the Yule Ball and go out with him?" I groaned. It was so like Ron to ask something like that. I knew Ron wouldn't be mad anymore because he was with Hilary, but I thought he'd let that go all the same.
"Yes I did Ron. I went out with him for a while, but distance became a problem, and yes I did kiss him at the Yule Ball." she spun the bottle. It landed on Harry.
"Um, Truth."
"Do I have to ask you something? I already know everything about you."
"Yeah you do Mione," I told her.
"Ok. Out of all of us, who would you pick to be there with you if there was only the two of you to defeat Voldemort and why?"
"Hilary because she had some of his blood in him as I do. He is a powerful wizard and just as I have some of his power so does Hilary." It was a valid answer even though I did feel a little hurt. I think everyone did except Draco.
Harry spun the bottle. It landed on Draco.
"Dare."
"Ok. You have to turn up to potions on Monday in a bikini. No boardies or anything." Draco looked gob smacked.
"You can't do that! That's preposterous! Snape will kill me! Especially since he would have been humiliated by you lot already."
"Sorry, a dares a dare" I explained to him.
He span the bottle. It landed on me again. I groaned.
"Truth."
"Ok little Weasley. Have you slept with Harry yet?" I couldn't believe he'd asked me that. I looked at Harry terrified. He looked just as scared at me. He mouthed a little no.
"Noooo, Yes!" there was some kind of spell put on. I couldn't lie. Hermione and Hilary screamed. Ron jumped up and started yelling at Harry and me. His face was quickly going from red to purple. I couldn't hear what was going on. Harry was trying to calm Ron. Ron was screaming his head off at Harry and me, and Hermione and Hilary were bombarding me with questions. "Silencio!" the voices tuned out. I could see them all talking and shouting at me. I looked at Draco. He was smiling at me. I could tell that he had also used a silencing charm. Finally they calmed down. I undid the charm. Ron had gotten over his shock, and he didn't really care now, Hermione and Hilary had stopped badgering me, but I knew I'd have a lot to answer to later on.
"Well I think we should put a movie on now." I was grateful Hermione had suggested that. She put it on. I crawled over to Harry and sat on his beanbag. Hilary went to Ron's. Hermione stayed where she was, as did Draco.
DRACO'S POV
Everyone had gone and sat on each other's beanbags. They were all cuddling. I sat where I was and so did Hermione. This was stupid. I pulled my beanbag next to Hermione's. We watched movies for the rest of the night. Harry and Ron, I was calling them by their first names now, weren't that bad. I didn't really mind them. I couldn't believe everything that Harry had told me about Voldemort. I had told him that I wasn't going to, or was a death eater and he believed me. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't even realise that Hermione had scooted over and was leaning against me. I guess we were friends now so it didn't bother me. I was so tired. I looked around me. Everyone was asleep, except Hermione and me. She was about to fall asleep though, I could tell. I conjured three large blankets from the cupboard for everyone and fell asleep.
HERMIONE'S POV
I had felt Draco put a blanket around us and everyone else. I still wasn't asleep. He could really be clueless sometimes I thought. I looked at him. He was so cute when he slept. Why couldn't Draco take a hint? I don't know how long I was watching him for, but what seemed like 10 minutes later, (turned out to be a couple of hours) he woke up and looked at me. I was leaning on his shoulder, sitting against him. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. It was so strange actually acknowledging for the first time that he was giving me a real smile.
Once again I was getting caught up in my own stupid thoughts, but who cares. Hang on, is it me, or is he getting closer? I snapped out of my daydream in time to see him 2 centimetres away from me. I felt him kiss me. This time though I didn't pull away. I kissed him back. I pulled back for breath and looked at him. Then I leant in and kissed him. He opened my mouth and felt around with his tongue. I don't know how long I was kissing him. We were just caught up in the moment, when I heard a shriek. I pulled away and looked around. Harry was smirking at me, Ron had an 'O' of surprise on his face. Ginny and Hilary were half smiling, half looking at me in disbelief.
"Looks like you did a lot more than become friends with Draco when we were gone" Harry laughed at me.
I opened my mouth to explain when I felt a small squeeze on my leg from Draco and shut my mouth. "Well I guess you've found out, and by the looks of it, you don't care." I was half lying to them, but it didn't matter. I knew they wouldn't believe me if I told them the real truth.
Harry, Ron and Draco spent the rest of the morning talking about what had happened, and once that had become boring, it was back to Quidditch. Ginny, Hilary and I had all gone up to my room to talk about Draco and I, and Ginny and Harry. Just before lunch we had gotten over the news. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hilary had gone back to the Gryffindor common room. They were going to Hogsmede today, seeing as they were still on holidays until tomorrow. They had come back to school early to see me.
I was going to be spending the day with Draco. He had planned to go for a picnic near the lake as our 'first date'. I argued that our first date could technically be the ball, but I left it at that because I wanted to go. I went to my room and quickly got dressed. It was a marvellous day today. Strange weather for winter. It was above 20 degrees Celsius. I put on a green skirt with different shades of green. It came up to just before my knees. I wore a white singlet top with my bikini on underneath and my white flip-flops. I charmed myself to stay warm and grabbed my sunglasses. When I reached the common room, Draco was sitting on the couch. He had on dark green boardies with small snitch to one side. I rolled my eyes. How typical. He also wore a light green polo shirt. He, like me had on flip- flops and sunglasses. I saw a large picnic basket to one side. He saw me and stood up. He held out his hand and I took it. We walked out of the castle and to a side of the lake that was still just in Hogwarts grounds, but concealed from people at the castle. Draco pulled out a large soft picnic blanket and put the basket on it. I went to edge of the lake and put my feet in. it was nice, but I guessed it must be much colder. My warming charm was keeping me warm.
DRACO'S POV
She looked so good. I set up our lunch and all. She was down at the lake. Her feet were in the water. I couldn't believe she wasn't cold. I smirked and walked quietly up behind her. I was a small distance from her when I broke into a run. I stretched my hands in front of me. I was about to make contact when she sidestepped. I didn't have time to stop. I ran straight into the water and fell over. I was soaking. I looked at her with fury. She was rolling around on the ground and laughing. It was so cold. I got out the water quickly. My skin was already incredibly blue. She was still laughing at me. I went to the blanket to get my wand and dry off.
"Are you looking for this by any chance?" Hermione was twirling my wand in her hand.
"Yes I am. Can I have it back?" I held out my hand.
"No. I'll let you warm up" she performed the warming charm and a nice trickling feeling spread throughout me. "But I won't let you have your wand back." She was still laughing at me. Doesn't she get sick of laughing?
"Can you at least do the drying charm? Please!" I pleaded with her.
"No." I walked towards her to take my wand off her. She ran away from me. I started chasing her. She was incredibly fast. Much faster than me. I ran through the woods looking for her. I came back out of them. I had kind of dried off by then. She was standing there looking in the other direction. I smirked. She looked worried.
"Draco? Stop playing games and come here now. I'll give your wand back." I walked up again very quietly behind her. She didn't hear me. I grabbed my wand and her.
"Noink. Thank you. Now your going to take a bath." I stood near the lake. She was thrashing about. I threw her in. I started laughing so when she came back up she would see me laughing. I was getting sick of laughing and she still hadn't comeback up. I waited ten more minutes. She had probably done the bubble head charm, to make me think she was drowning. I half smirked. Twenty minutes passed. Stuff this I thought. If she was playing a joke then so be it. I was getting worried. I did the bubble head charm on myself and dived in. I looked around and saw her floating half way. She was unconscious and her wand was lying on the floor of the lake.
"Accio wand!" the wand flew to me, and I stuck it in my pocket. Hermione was unconscious and stuck in some Grindylow's nest. I cut through the tall leaves and grabbed her. Once we reached the surface, I did a drying charm on both of us. I said another little spell and she spewed out a little water. I gave her some butterbeer and held her. Everything was normal again. We ate our lunch, which the house elf's had done a good job on. It was three o clock by now. Hermione cleared the basket and all with a flick of her wand. I looked at her, and kissed her. She kissed me back. We lay down and spent the rest of the day like that. It was getting dark. Hermione was lying next to me. I kissed her slowly and softly. She kissed me back and then pulled away.
"It's going to be dark soon and we have to get back up to the school before then." I sighed and packed up the rug up. I put my arm around her shoulders and we walked back up the school. We got to our room through a special passage way concealed to one side. I went into the common room and went into our respective room. I went into my bathroom and did some laps in the pool size tub and then lay about for a while. After this I got out and put on my boxers with an old sweatshirt. I went back into the common room and saw Hermione sitting there in her dressing gown reading a book. I don't now what came over me, but I didn't want to see her just then. I turned around before she saw me and quietly went into my room.
What am I doing? She is so nice, pretty, everything I want, yet I don't want. I felt sort of repulsed towards her. She was such a goody goody, and I was a typical bad boy. We just didn't fit. I was supposed to be screwing any girl without a care, and she probably wouldn't sleep with anyone until she's married. I might marry Granger! OMG! I decided that I just needed to sleep. I posted a note to my door and fell into a restless sleep.
HERMIONE'S POV
I was reading the same sentence over and over again. I was waiting for Draco. Why am I waiting for him? I thought to myself. Did I really like him in that way? I was so happy with him today, but I still felt a little coldness from him. He wasn't really my type. Who am I kidding! I am so happy with him; I really want to be with him. Or do I? I just imagined him standing in front of me with only boxers on. As appealing as that mental picture was, I wasn't excited that I'd be seeing him. Imagine him. He is the total opposite from me. He could be in there screwing some Slytherin chick, and I won't sleep with anyone, unless I know they're the one. Even if it is until I get married. Married to Malfoy! That thought almost repulsed me. I quickly got up and made my way up the stairs with my book. I looked at his door. There was a note on it. "Accio note!" it flew over.
'Hey Hermione
Sorry I'm not down in the common room with you but I feel really sick and tired at the moment. I don't think I'll see you tomorrow. I think I'll just take it easy so I have the strength to laugh at Snape and humiliate myself in Potions on Monday. So Sorry,
-Draco Malfoy'
I didn't feel sad that I wouldn't see him tomorrow, instead relieved. Maybe we had just taken this too fast. I went into my room and once again tried hopelessly to read. In the end I put it down and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning. The thoughts from last night came back to me. I expected to have lost those feelings of repulsion. I got up and went into the common room. I decided to go to the kitchens and bring my breakfast to my room. Draco was sitting on the couch eating his breakfast.
"Hey Draco. Are you feeling better?" I asked.
He looked at me strangely. "Yeah, I'm feeling a bit better, I still want to rest today though." He came up to me.
"Yeah that's fine." I smiled at him. He kissed me. I kissed him back, but without feeling. I pulled away.
"Look this just doesn't feel very right. We need to talk," I explained to him. He sat on the couch.
"I did a lot of thinking yesterday, and quite frankly I was ten times happier hanging out with you when we were just friends." I expected him to be hurt or get angry. Instead he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm so glad you feel that way too. I'm not really sick, I just felt the same way about you, but I didn't want to hurt you." I smiled at him and gave him a big hug.
"Well then. Why don't you share some of your breakfast with me? You have too much anyway." I grabbed some of his food and began eating. The rest of the day went quickly. We went out and played a bit of quidditch, and hung out. I was so happy at the end of the day, and I could tell he was too. That evening I went to bed with a very content feeling.
HARRY'S POV
Mione had told us about her and Draco, and everyone but her felt a bit disappointed. I was eating breakfast and looking continually at the large clock above the head table. It was almost time. Hilary looked very nervous, as did Ron.
It was time. Hilary ducked under the table and we heard her mutter an assortment of spells. She quickly came back up red in the face. We looked at Snape expectantly. Nothing happened at first, but then his hair gathered at the top of his head into large spikes and turned blue. We could see rings appearing here and there and his robes shrunk so he was wearing skating shorts and a t-shirt that stopped half way up his stomach. He looked totally different. People were catching onto what was happening and were laughing. Ron muttered another spell and the new Snape jumped onto the table, and began strutting up and down singing to music that flowed out of nowhere. He was break dancing now. The hall was roaring in laughter. Even McGonagall couldn't suppress a smile. He started dirty dancing with himself, and had the expressions to match. McGonagall was so close to laughing I could see tears in her eyes. The song finished and Snape skidded on his knees knocking the juice, bacon, eggs and everything else off the table and screeched like Michael Jackson. Everyone applauded while clutching their sides in laughter.
He quickly got up and turned his appearance back to normal. I was half laughing along with everyone else. When I had heard what the others planned to do, I felt sick in the stomach, but I was glad I hadn't been asked to do that. I chose truth in the game anyway just in case. Snape's memory with my father was still fresh in my mind. The laughter eventually subsided and we headed off to our first lesson, Potions. I looked over at the Slytherin table. Draco had already left to get ready. We entered the class and waited for Snape.
The door opened and Draco entered. He was wearing his school robes. He looked at us. Hermione had done a special charm for Ginny and Hilary. They were in History of Magic. They would see everything that was going on in here, and Binns wouldn't know, because he never looked up. Draco took off his robes and draped them over the chair. He was wearing a skimpy polka dot bikini. It looked really wrong, seeing as he didn't have a chest. The Gryffindors all burst into laughter. He was tight lipped and looked furious. Even the Slytherin's were smiling and some were laughing. Snape entered. He too looked furious. He got up to the front of the class and looked shocked at Malfoy.
"Why, Mr Malfoy, may I ask you are wearing that in my class?"
"Well, I wasn't feeling very cold this morning. I was actually quite hot, and this was the only thing that could cool me off."
"Mr Malfoy. You are a wizard. If you can't do a cooling charm, I'm sure you can ask someone who can. Now put on your robes."
"I can't. They won't stay on me for the whole of this lesson. I don't know why."
"Put them on."
"As you wish." He put them on, and they flew off him immediately. Snape looked furious.
"You are excused from this class. Miss Granger will bring up your instructions and ingredients for the potion we're making today, and then you will bring it down at the end of this lesson when your robes will remain on you." Draco got up and left. I was still smiling, as were many others. Hermione went to the front and collected everything. As she was walking back she winked at Ron and me.
HERMIONE'S POV
I went back to the common room still chuckling. I passed the History of Magic room and heard two people laughing loudly and shrilly. I laughed even more. When I got there, I was in stitches. Draco looked furious at me.
"I'm sorry. But you have to admit that was funny!"
"The only good thing that came out of this is that I got out of Potions."
I laughed and we got started on the potion. Draco had taken of the bikini top. Nothing else could be put on. He was very toned I thought.
"You have a great body you know Draco." I wasn't ashamed of telling him that. After all we were great friends.
"Why thank you Mione. Now help me make this. I'm not the only one assigned to it you know!" he glared at me and continued making it.
I couldn't help but feel that Draco could be a little bit more decent to me even though we weren't going out anymore. I put this thought aside and concentrated on the potion.

Everyone sat down on a beanbag thingy. It was quiet for a while during which we drank our hot chocolates. I turned and started talking to Ginny and Hilary.

She looked so good. I set up our lunch and all. She was down at the lake. Her feet were in the water. I couldn't believe she wasn't cold. I smirked and walked quietly up behind her. I was a small distance from her when I broke into a run. I stretched my hands in front of me. I was about to make contact when she sidestepped. I didn't have time to stop. I ran straight into the water and fell over. I was soaking. I looked at her with fury. She was rolling around on the ground and laughing. It was so cold. I got out the water quickly. My skin was already incredibly blue. She was still laughing at me. I went to the blanket to get my wand and dry off.
"Are you looking for this by any chance?" Hermione was twirling my wand in her hand.
"Yes I am. Can I have it back?" I held out my hand.
"No. I'll let you warm up" she performed the warming charm and a nice trickling feeling spread throughout me. "But I won't let you have your wand back." She was still laughing at me. Doesn't she get sick of laughing?
"Can you at least do the drying charm? Please!" I pleaded with her.
"No." I walked towards her to take my wand off her. She ran away from me. I started chasing her. She was incredibly fast. Much faster than me. I ran through the woods looking for her. I came back out of them. I had kind of dried off by then. She was standing there looking in the other direction. I smirked. She looked worried.
"Draco? Stop playing games and come here now. I'll give your wand back." I walked up again very quietly behind her. She didn't hear me. I grabbed my wand and her.
"Noink. Thank you. Now your going to take a bath." I stood near the lake. She was thrashing about. I threw her in. I started laughing so when she came back up she would see me laughing. I was getting sick of laughing and she still hadn't comeback up. I waited ten more minutes. She had probably done the bubble head charm, to make me think she was drowning. I half smirked. Twenty minutes passed. Stuff this I thought. If she was playing a joke then so be it. I was getting worried. I did the bubble head charm on myself and dived in. I looked around and saw her floating half way. She was unconscious and her wand was lying on the floor of the lake.
"Accio wand!" the wand flew to me, and I stuck it in my pocket. Hermione was unconscious and stuck in some Grindylow's nest. I cut through the tall leaves and grabbed her. Once we reached the surface, I did a drying charm on both of us. I said another little spell and she spewed out a little water. I gave her some butterbeer and held her. Everything was normal again. We ate our lunch, which the house elf's had done a good job on. It was three o clock by now. Hermione cleared the basket and all with a flick of her wand. I looked at her, and kissed her. She kissed me back. We lay down and spent the rest of the day like that. It was getting dark. Hermione was lying next to me. I kissed her slowly and softly. She kissed me back and then pulled away.
"It's going to be dark soon and we have to get back up to the school before then." I sighed and packed up the rug up. I put my arm around her shoulders and we walked back up the school. We got to our room through a special passage way concealed to one side. I went into the common room and went into our respective room. I went into my bathroom and did some laps in the pool size tub and then lay about for a while. After this I got out and put on my boxers with an old sweatshirt. I went back into the common room and saw Hermione sitting there in her dressing gown reading a book. I don't now what came over me, but I didn't want to see her just then. I turned around before she saw me and quietly went into my room.
What am I doing? She is so nice, pretty, everything I want, yet I don't want. I felt sort of repulsed towards her. She was such a goody goody, and I was a typical bad boy. We just didn't fit. I was supposed to be screwing any girl without a care, and she probably wouldn't sleep with anyone until she's married. I might marry Granger! OMG! I decided that I just needed to sleep. I posted a note to my door and fell into a restless sleep.
HERMIONE'S POV
I was reading the same sentence over and over again. I was waiting for Draco. Why am I waiting for him? I thought to myself. Did I really like him in that way? I was so happy with him today, but I still felt a little coldness from him. He wasn't really my type. Who am I kidding! I am so happy with him; I really want to be with him. Or do I? I just imagined him standing in front of me with only boxers on. As appealing as that mental picture was, I wasn't excited that I'd be seeing him. Imagine him. He is the total opposite from me. He could be in there screwing some Slytherin chick, and I won't sleep with anyone, unless I know they're the one. Even if it is until I get married. Married to Malfoy! That thought almost repulsed me. I quickly got up and made my way up the stairs with my book. I looked at his door. There was a note on it. "Accio note!" it flew over.
'Hey Hermione
Sorry I'm not down in the common room with you but I feel really sick and tired at the moment. I don't think I'll see you tomorrow. I think I'll just take it easy so I have the strength to laugh at Snape and humiliate myself in Potions on Monday. So Sorry,
-Draco Malfoy'
I didn't feel sad that I wouldn't see him tomorrow, instead relieved. Maybe we had just taken this too fast. I went into my room and once again tried hopelessly to read. In the end I put it down and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning. The thoughts from last night came back to me. I expected to have lost those feelings of repulsion. I got up and went into the common room. I decided to go to the kitchens and bring my breakfast to my room. Draco was sitting on the couch eating his breakfast.
"Hey Draco. Are you feeling better?" I asked.
He looked at me strangely. "Yeah, I'm feeling a bit better, I still want to rest today though." He came up to me.
"Yeah that's fine." I smiled at him. He kissed me. I kissed him back, but without feeling. I pulled away.
"Look this just doesn't feel very right. We need to talk," I explained to him. He sat on the couch.
"I did a lot of thinking yesterday, and quite frankly I was ten times happier hanging out with you when we were just friends." I expected him to be hurt or get angry. Instead he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm so glad you feel that way too. I'm not really sick, I just felt the same way about you, but I didn't want to hurt you." I smiled at him and gave him a big hug.
"Well then. Why don't you share some of your breakfast with me? You have too much anyway." I grabbed some of his food and began eating. The rest of the day went quickly. We went out and played a bit of quidditch, and hung out. I was so happy at the end of the day, and I could tell he was too. That evening I went to bed with a very content feeling.
HARRY'S POV
Mione had told us about her and Draco, and everyone but her felt a bit disappointed. I was eating breakfast and looking continually at the large clock above the head table. It was almost time. Hilary looked very nervous, as did Ron.
It was time. Hilary ducked under the table and we heard her mutter an assortment of spells. She quickly came back up red in the face. We looked at Snape expectantly. Nothing happened at first, but then his hair gathered at the top of his head into large spikes and turned blue. We could see rings appearing here and there and his robes shrunk so he was wearing skating shorts and a t-shirt that stopped half way up his stomach. He looked totally different. People were catching onto what was happening and were laughing. Ron muttered another spell and the new Snape jumped onto the table, and began strutting up and down singing to music that flowed out of nowhere. He was break dancing now. The hall was roaring in laughter. Even McGonagall couldn't suppress a smile. He started dirty dancing with himself, and had the expressions to match. McGonagall was so close to laughing I could see tears in her eyes. The song finished and Snape skidded on his knees knocking the juice, bacon, eggs and everything else off the table and screeched like Michael Jackson. Everyone applauded while clutching their sides in laughter.
He quickly got up and turned his appearance back to normal. I was half laughing along with everyone else. When I had heard what the others planned to do, I felt sick in the stomach, but I was glad I hadn't been asked to do that. I chose truth in the game anyway just in case. Snape's memory with my father was still fresh in my mind. The laughter eventually subsided and we headed off to our first lesson, Potions. I looked over at the Slytherin table. Draco had already left to get ready. We entered the class and waited for Snape.
The door opened and Draco entered. He was wearing his school robes. He looked at us. Hermione had done a special charm for Ginny and Hilary. They were in History of Magic. They would see everything that was going on in here, and Binns wouldn't know, because he never looked up. Draco took off his robes and draped them over the chair. He was wearing a skimpy polka dot bikini. It looked really wrong, seeing as he didn't have a chest. The Gryffindors all burst into laughter. He was tight lipped and looked furious. Even the Slytherin's were smiling and some were laughing. Snape entered. He too looked furious. He got up to the front of the class and looked shocked at Malfoy.
"Why, Mr Malfoy, may I ask you are wearing that in my class?"
"Well, I wasn't feeling very cold this morning. I was actually quite hot, and this was the only thing that could cool me off."
"Mr Malfoy. You are a wizard. If you can't do a cooling charm, I'm sure you can ask someone who can. Now put on your robes."
"I can't. They won't stay on me for the whole of this lesson. I don't know why."
"Put them on."
"As you wish." He put them on, and they flew off him immediately. Snape looked furious.
"You are excused from this class. Miss Granger will bring up your instructions and ingredients for the potion we're making today, and then you will bring it down at the end of this lesson when your robes will remain on you." Draco got up and left. I was still smiling, as were many others. Hermione went to the front and collected everything. As she was walking back she winked at Ron and me.
HERMIONE'S POV
I went back to the common room still chuckling. I passed the History of Magic room and heard two people laughing loudly and shrilly. I laughed even more. When I got there, I was in stitches. Draco looked furious at me.
"I'm sorry. But you have to admit that was funny!"
"The only good thing that came out of this is that I got out of Potions."
I laughed and we got started on the potion. Draco had taken of the bikini top. Nothing else could be put on. He was very toned I thought.
"You have a great body you know Draco." I wasn't ashamed of telling him that. After all we were great friends.
"Why thank you Mione. Now help me make this. I'm not the only one assigned to it you know!" he glared at me and continued making it.
I couldn't help but feel that Draco could be a little bit more decent to me even though we weren't going out anymore. I put this thought aside and concentrated on the potion.
