A/N- Whoopdie-doo. Another boring 'ol short chapter since I'm gunna fall asleep on my keyboard again. lol. Well.. uhh, Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm beginning to own Harry Potter… **gives the Malfoy smirk** I KNOW You didn't Just Believe Me. Haha.

Last time written I wrote…

"Nothing, just us playing around singing."

"Okay…" Ron said. "Pointless… But… Okay…"

"Oh shut-up Ron." Hermione said and gave him a soft punch.

All of a sudden… Lavender screamed.

Chapter 9: Hermione's Announcement

"Lavender! What happened?" Ron asked.

"Huh? Oh nothing, just getting bored… so I decided to scream," Lavender said wiping off what she just did to the side.

(A/N- Bet you thought something happened! Haha!)

Kids from other corners were looking at Lavender murderous, as they were studying when she screamed.

"Well, you made us think something happened that wasn't very good." Harry explained.

"Oops." Lavender said cluelessly (Who cares if its not a word?)

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I'm getting pretty hungry right about now…" Hermione said and looked at her watch. "Oh! No wonder! It's dinner time."

On her way down to the Great Hall, Hermione remembered something: The bet. She had to do it today or else it was going to be gone for good.

Hermione took a seat in between Harry and Ron who were stuffing their mouths with corn, fish, chicken, and all sorts of pastries.

Hermione was slowly putting the food into her mouth thinking about how she would present her information. Just as she was in the middle of thinking…

CLING CLING CLING CLING!

Someone was banging silverware against their goblet.

Hermione looked up.

Draco.

"Excuse me everyone, but I believe that Hermione has an announcement… Hermione?" Draco announced.

Hermione glared at him.

"Come on Hermione, I'm sure everyone wants to go on with their meal," Draco smirked.

Hermione sighed and closed her eyes.

It was now or never.

"I think Draco's the best looking guy in the school!" She yelled and opened her eyes.

Hermione was totally embarressed. Everyone just stared at her. Ron and Harry were looking murderous (A/N- lol, I'm using that word out aren't I?)

She glanced over at Draco who was smirking big time.

Blood was pumping in her ears. It was like if her heart decided to make its home right in her earlobes.

Hermione couldn't take it anymore.

She ran out covering her eyes as tears were streaming down her face.

~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~

Hermione ran out of the room starting to cry.

Draco suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

He ran after her out of the doors of the Great Hall.
