~Love
All the thoughts that had been swimming round and round in her head,
were suddenly knocked out, as running around the corner she ran into...a
brick wall?
She looked up from where she had landed on the floor.
"Ugh" she cried looking up into the icy eyes of Draco Malfoy.
"Watch where you're going" he said brushing himself off as if he had
gotten some sort of dirt, or disease on his crisp black robes. Acting as if
she had just run him down.
She glared up at him, picked herself up off the floor, but kept her
breath; she knew better then to waste it on him. She didn't want to deal
with something that childish at the moment. As she picked up her stuff, he
continued to stare at her, she watched him out of the corner of her eye
until she couldn't stand it anymore.
"What?" she asked surprise with the rude tone of her voice, but then
reminded herself, this was Malfoy.
"What was with you rushing around the corner, you weren't rushing off
to Weasley, I know that for a fact." He said continuing to stare deep into
her eyes, as if trying to read her mind, his eyes burning deep into head,
trying to dig out thoughts.
She tore her stare away. "W-what do you mean?" she asked, thoroughly
confused.
"Don't tell me the fool hasn't told you yet" he snorted, laughing at
his own "joke".
"I don't know what you're talking about" she said afraid that she
knew exactly what he was talking about.
"About your little brawl?" he said, smirking, seeming more and more
pleased with himself by the minute. "I mean unless I'm very much mistaken,
you and Weasley have broken up for the time being"
She sat there wide-mouth, watching his grin grow bigger and bigger.
How could he know? Unless...
"Ron told...you?" she asked, now very confused.
"No, you know I would never talk to him personally, but then... I am
talking to you, anyway Weasley was telling Potter and some other peoples of
Potters fan club all about it, loud enough for anyone to hear"
She could believe it, she was nearly in a state of shock, and this
had happened, what 10 minutes ago? And already half of Gryffindor knew? She
wasn't sure who she was more furious at, Ron or Malfoy for being alive.
Through her silence Malfoy continued, "He did, in fact seem to
particularly be focusing his story at... oh I daresay what was her name... the
one that went with Potter to the dance I dare presume."
"Parvati?" Hermione asked finally being able to spit something out.
"I believe that's the one, can't really say I blame him though,
Gryffindor scum no doubt, but a fairly attractive slut if you ask me" He
said talking to himself as of Hermione wasn't listening to his words, only
a few caught her attention.
Ron 10 minutes after our quarrel tells everyone we've broken up...even
Malfoy knows... Parvati? He wouldn't go for a slut like that, would he...?
She is obviously attractive even Malfoy agrees... Maybe that what all guys
want... Sexy and slutty, everything I'm not...
Malfoy seemed to notice her going abstract and went silent, though
not taking his steel grey eyes of her soft brown ones.
"Starting to realize you faults?" he asked, not in a rude way but
like a question, a polite was normal people ask.
"Excuse me?" she asked. Not believing someone could sound so
interfering.
He continued as though she actually cared. "You like Weasley? Well of
course you do" he said answering his own question, "I'm a guy and I'll tell
you how guys work, the only way to keep them interested for more than a few
months, I hate to break it to you but sex and sex appeal is the main thing.
Some guys of course want a nice solid relationship, truthful, trusting. Not
my style, but no matter how you feel about relationships, all guys need and
want the same thing."
She stayed silent as she had the whole time. Not believing herself,
she was actually considering what Malfoy was saying, allowing herself to
make sense of it all.
"I'll say this because as you know, I am very truthful, you're a mud
blood, a know-it-all teachers pet, and worst of all a Gryffindor, but you
as I must strain myself to see it, are a fairly attractive girl" seeming
disgusted with himself he continued. "You do have the abilities, which
could in fact make you someone even I would consider"
She didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted, but coming from
him, she might as well take it as a compliment.
"So... you're telling me all this because...?" she said finally.
"Ah the lamb speaks, you obviously were and still are weak minded on
the subject, and have a hell of a lot to learn, if you ever want a guy that
thinks you're a total prude back."
Holding herself back from going off subject and asking whether or not
that is what in fact Ron have actually said, Hermione instead replied
"What? And I suppose you could teach me?" she said laughing.
"I could" he said seriously.
"What?" she said laughing again "first of all, what you'd actually
risk being seen with me, two I know you well enough to know this is only
happening because your getting something out of it, and three it would
never work because I hate you." She said all in one breathe.
"First of all, we would never be seen together, two I'm teaching you
sex, right? What the hell do you think I'm getting out of it?, and three as
you will learn sex is one the only social things you will do in life, that
you don't have to like or even know the other person involved."
"You're serious?" she said.
"Only if you are" he replied.
Think for a moment she finally replied "Fine when?"
He grinned, "How about tomorrow night, at midnight, in that little
room we busting you all for you little Army?" He said still staring at her.
"Fine" she said.
They said no more, he turned and left and she turned and left,
separate ways.
Hermione, still traumatized with herself for actually agreeing to
this couldn't help but think.
"Come to think of it, I would have preferred running into a brick
wall, knowing Malfoy and how horrible this could turn out, the wall seemed
but more appealing, the worst that could happen is a broken nose, or a
coma."

Hey! Took awhile but I hope you enjoyed, review as usual please.
