Hello Everybody! I still don't own the Harry Potter characters so don't sue
me (it's not like you'll get much anyway), yada, yada, yada. Thank you so
much for all my wonderful reviewers! It's you that made me hurry up and get
the second chapter up (oh yes and partly because of my friends). I still
want Malfoy. Preferably Chocolate covered. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.but who doesn't?!?
Chapter 2: The Dare
~Hermione~
After dinner Hermione took a shower and went to meet Malfoy in the library. As she walked, she thought to herself: 'I must admit, he is good looking, what with those stormy blue-grey eyes and slicked-back blond hair. And he's got an ass to kick all Asses. He's friggin' hot! Oh well, too bad such a great body was wasted on such a foul personality.'
~Draco~
As Draco returned from Snape's office to go meet Hermione in the library, he couldn't help thinking to himself: 'I guess Granger isn't so bad after all, she's got a nice ass too! She's tamed her hair so it's sorta straight and shiny and she's got curves in the right places. Aww, the little mudblood's grown up! Hold on, what am I thinking?! She's a mudblood, I'm a Malfoy! But I wouldn't mind dating her.' He mentally slapped himself as he entered the library.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"My, my Granger, we are looking fine tonight, aren't we?"
Hermione raised an eyebrow. "What happened to 'you're so fugly, mudblood'?"
"I was talking about myself you know!"
She rolled her eyes. "Did you tell Snape?"
"What? That you're fugly?" asked Draco, laughter in his eyes.
She rolled her eyes again "No, that we're doing the potion tonight" she said impatiently.
"I can think of much better things to do," he said, smirking.
"Malfoy! Focus!" Hermione barked.
"Well, Soo-ree!" said Draco, rolling his eyes.
"Anyway, what did Snape say?"
"Yeah, he said it was fine but he said he was busy tonight so he won't be there to supervise, so he gave me a note, in case anyone asks why we were out of bed so late."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~A few hours later~
The potion (which was now a shimmering silver) was nearly ready. Hermione and Draco had worked almost in silence, except occasionally to say "pass the lacewing flies please" and things like that until.
"Hey Mudblood, I dare you to try it!"
"Try what?"
Draco rolled his eyes "the potion, genius!"
"Are you crazy, ferret boy?! It's not done yet, who knows what could happen!"
"Are you scared?!" mocked Malfoy
"No! It's just-"
"Yeah, sure, uh-huh, whatever."said Malfoy over the top
Hermione didn't want Malfoy to get the better of her. "Fine! But I'll try it only if you do too!" she exclaimed
"I'm game if you are!" he said, grinning.
So Hermione and Draco drank the potion, which had not finished simmering. Stupid idiots.
"Cheers" said Draco, rather quietly. Personally, he had thought the mudblood would refuse even if he teased her. Damn. Hermione bit her lip, but downed the stuff anyway. She shivered, the potion was still warm out of the cauldron, but it felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice-cold water over her.
"Has anything happened?" Draco asked
"Uh, I don't think so" she said uneasily, looking herself up and down.
"Our potion's nearly finished," said Draco (now having his confidence back), pointing.
"Yeah, I guess we'd better get to bed." Said Hermione, yawning, also relieved that nothing has happened. (A/N- that's what they think! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Anyway, back to reality.)
As they walked back to the castle, Draco said honestly "Um, I'm sorry I called you a mudblood"
"Oh, that's okay. It doesn't bug me as much anymore, I'm used to it now"
"Oh" he replied looking down at his feet.
Suddenly Hermione was itching to ask him something. So she did. "Malfoy, why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"(She didn't say this in a mean way, of course)
They were in the castle now, their voices low.
"Can't a guy be nice?" he said, embarrassedly. Hermione raised her eyebrows
"What?" he exclaimed, hand on hips Hermione raised her eyebrows again.
"What?! I'm not that mean!"
"Maybe, but you're not usually nice to me, or Harry or Ron, or any of the Gryffindors for that matter! So why are you being so nice?" she prompted.
"Ummm.."
"You can tell me," she said softly
"Mumble mumble"
"What? Come on, spit it out!"
"I think I like you," he whispered so she almost couldn't hear.
"What?!?!" she stared disbelievingly at him, her eyes practically popping out of her head.

Did you like the second chapter? I didn't. Not really, 'cos, uh, I dunno. I guess it's a bit corny, or something.hmmm..
