Disclaimer: Sadly I own nothing.
A/N: It has taken me too long to get this up. I am so sorry. And it is really short. I've been so busy, and my parents took my computer from me for a while. So I apologize. I will try to catch up and start posting more often.
So now it is two weeks later. Hermione and Ron haven't really gotten much farther yet. Harry and Ginny have been seeing one another secretly. And Draco and Pansy had been becoming closer.
Hermione sighed late one Friday afternoon. Nothing to do but sit around. All her homework was finished already. She wasn't in the mood to read. Harry and Ron were out at practice. And no one was around to talk to. So she simply sat there in the Prefect common room and stared at the fire.
She stared at it long and hard and eventually she zoned out. Her mind was completely blank and she was still and motionless. Then the door swung open and in walked Draco. However, she was so out of it she didn't notice him. So Draco being Draco, he decided to go and see what was up with her.
"What are you doing Granger?" Draco drawled as he plopped down into a chair behind her.
There was no reply. Only silence. It was just a little bit too creepy for him. So he decided he was going to wake her and torment her. She was usually good for a laugh.
"Granger, you seem a little off if you ask me. What's wrong? Did that little weasel dump you finally?" He laughed in her ears.
Yet he didn't seem to find it too funny when she sudden snapped back into the real world and pinned him to the chair by his neck. Her grip was hard and her stare was cold and cruel. Not the normal for Hermione Granger. He had only seen her this raged once before and quite frankly it scared him.
"I thought I told you not to ever talk about Ron. My personal life is none of your concern. And to answer your rude and unnecessary question no. He did not dump me." Hermione fumed.
"I know you're going to kick my ass for saying this. but you look hot when you're mad!" Draco grinned, still under Hermione's grip.
"How dare you? You have a girlfriend! And I have a boyfriend. And I know you aren't serious and you're just trying to piss me off more, but how dare you?" She spat in disgust.
"Did it work?" He tried to back up but he was already as far back as he could possible go.
"Did what work?" she loosened her grip a little and tilted her head to the side a bit.
"Did I succeed in pissing you off more?" He smirked.
Her only response was her fist tightening once more around his neck. He was loosing a little oxygen sure, but he still wore his smug grin. Then he grabbed her by the arm and twisted. They traded places within mere seconds. Draco now had Hermione pinned by her wrists.
"You bastard." She glared.
"Aww. . . Granger. I'm hurt. I'm emotionally scarred." He teased.
"Shut up." She shook her head.
"Make me." He taunted.
"I can. but you don't want me to." She assured him.
"Oh but I do." Draco leaned in and smiled evilly.
"Ron forgive me." She pleaded softly.
Then she pushed him off of her, but quickly grabbed his neck and brought his head swiftly down to hers. She kissed him fiercely and then threw him back.
He stood there. Stunned. Speechless. It was so not like her to ever do anything of that sort. It was at that moment that he knew he was in for a whole hell of a lot of suprises this year.
"Now, I apologize for that. I only meant to put you in your place." She started.
"Put me in my place? Who do you think you are?" Draco questioned.
"I wasn't finished. Now, I know we don't always get along. But we have to now. If we aren't at least civil then we're not setting a good example for others. And if we're not setting a good example, then we're not doing our jobs. I think we should call a truce." Hermione stated firmly.
"A truce? Why? Things are fine the way they are." Draco shrugged, not understanding her.
"No. They are anything but fine. Please Draco?" Hermione pleaded.
"That's the first time you've ever called me by my name. I can't believe you just said that." He stuttered in amazement.
"Truce then Draco?" She held out her hand.
"Truce." He shook it in return.
"You do realize this means no more name calling, no more taunting, no more rude gestures, and we must be polite." Hermione informed him.
"I guess. I may not get it at first. And it may take me a while, but I'll try." He looked down at his feet.
"That's all I can ask. I have to go now. I'll talk to you later Draco." She then left him behind to stand there in silence, thinking over what had just occurred.
A/N: I'm sorry this has taken so long. Soon things will happen and it will all become very interesting. Review please.
