Author's notes: Hi guys! I'm back again. Time for me to show you chapter 4! Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I liked them all. Yes, even the flames. For me, flames are good for improving my story. So, if you want me to improve my story, you can flame anytime you want. Don't worry. I won't take them too seriously. Well, enough with this babble. Let's get straight to the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own HP or the song. I just want to finish my schooling and suing me won't help.

Chapter IV

He went up the stairs to Hermione's door...

'Well, here goes nothing.'

...and rang the door bell.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As soon as Pansy left the house, Hermione quickly went upstairs to get ready. She took a quick shower, got a pair of jeans and a red long-sleeved shirt, put her hair in a high ponytail and went down to put on her sneakers.

Hermione was tying her shoe laces when the door bell rang.

"Leo! Could you answer the door?" She called out, still struggling with her laces. Just then, a brown husky came out from the kitchen, went to the door, stood up on its two hind legs and pushed a red button beside the door causing it to open.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After Draco rang the door bell, he heard a voice of a female and a bark from inside of the house. He then heard a soft beep and the door opened to reveal a brown husky looking up at him. The young Malfoy raised his eyebrow at this when the dog suddenly barked.

"Um..." he started when a female came into view.

"Leo, who is it?" She was looking down at the dog so he couldn't see her face very well but the voice seemed utterly familiar. Then, he started talking again.

"Um...Is Mione there?" Draco asked a little uncomfortable. The girl then looked up at him and realization hit him like a bucket of cold water. "H-Hermione?!"

She just smiled and nodded. Draco was very confused right now. So, like an idiot, he asked the stupidest question, "So...um...where's Mione?"

With that Hermione rolled her eyes and closed the door in front of Draco. He then started to pound at the door while Hermione could be seen giggling on the other side.

"Hey! Hey, Hermione! Open this door, right now! Right now!" Draco cried while still pounding on the door. Hermione giggled even harder at this then called out in a stern and authorizing voice,

"I won't open this door not until you realize who Mione is!"

"Come on, Hermione. Open this damn door!"

"No."

"Okay, okay. Um, Mione is...one of your friends?"

"Nope."

"Mione is...This may sound stupid but...Mione is...your dog?"

Leo then growled at the door and Hermione giggled even more.

"No! My dog is a male and his name is Leo. L-E-O!"

Draco then let out a frustrated sigh. Then there was silence and Hermione started to get worried. What if he drove off all frustrated? She then opened the door to check on him. She then found him sitting on one of the steps with his hand cradling his head.

Hermione slowly and silently crept up to him and sat down beside him. She leaned near his ear and whispered quite seductively, "Give up?"

Draco turned his head to face her and shook his head. Hermione then smirked and said, "Who's Mione then?"

Now, it was Draco's turn to smirk. He inched a little bit closer and whispered huskily, "You."

"You got it." Hermione whispered while dazed by his closeness.

Unconsciously, both their heads came closer and closer until they were just a millimeter apart when suddenly...

...something wet started to smear itself on Draco's cheek.

Draco snapped out of his daze to see what was doing that to him. When he saw what it really was, he then cried out, "Eew! Gross! Get away from me you slimy dog!"

Hermione snapped out of her daze as well and when she saw what was happening and started to laugh. Draco, who successfully shooed the dog away, looked at Hermione strangely. Hermione then ceased laughing and started to get up and go inside.

"You better go inside and wash up. You smell like dog!"

With that she went inside with a frowning Draco tailing her.

Minutes later, our couple are now in the library looking for a book in the huge shelves of the General section. Both Hermione and Draco are looking at the same shelf with Hermione looking on one side and Draco on the other.

"What are we looking for anyway?" Draco asked Hermione from the other side of the shelf.

"We are looking for a book-..."

"I could obviously see that! Be more speci-..."

"We are looking for a book about Greek and Roman mythology."

"Oh. Care to tell me what the book looks like?"

"Well, the book looks like...ah! There it is!"

"Good. Now we can get...hey! Wait up!"

The two teens started to jog up to the check-out counter when Draco stopped and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay."

Hermione now walked slowly towards the counter and placed the book in front of the lady behind it. She was an elderly lady of maybe about sixty and wore her graying hair up in a tight bun. She had tiny glasses on the tip of her nose. She then looked up after stamping on the book and closing it shut. The old lady looked at Hermione with stern eyes and said,

"Is that your boyfriend?"

Hermione raised her brow at the lady and the lady pointed towards the direction of the door to which Draco was leaning his back against it's frame with is shades on the bridge of his nose and looking down at his cell phone. Hermione saw this and she quickly replied, "Oh, he's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend of mine. He's actually-..."

"That's what they all say." The old lady snapped back rudely. "They deny it and then the next thing you'll know, they'll be fucking each other the whole night. I mean..."

As the old lady rants about intercourse, Hermione could be seen with a slight look of disgust on her face. All she could say was a small, "Hmm." and couldn't say anything more worthy of starting a 'decent' conversation with the lady. So, she just went off to where Draco was standing, who was looking at her in a strange way.

"What happened back there?" Draco asked as they headed back to the car.

"Well, the old lady kept on ranting about teens who have intercourse with each other and denying it...or something like that." Hermione answered getting in the passengers seat and strapping on her seatbelt.

"You can't do anything about it. I mean, that lady might not have experienced that yet. She just might be jealous of all those girls who got fucked by a hot guy while she was never got fucked at all." The young Malfoy replied while hopping on the driver's seat and strapping on his seatbelt as well.

"You may have a point. But," Hermione started but then just shrugged it off. "Let's just not think about it and go somewhere to eat. I'm so hungry!"

"Okay. If that's what you want. But don't blame me if you step into that library again and that old lady rants again and again and again and again and agai-..."

"Alright, alright. I got your point! You don't have to tell me a million times."

"Oki doki." Draco started the engine then looked at Hermione. "Now, where do you want to eat, Mione?"

Hermione smiled at the nickname then smirked and said, "Wherever, Drakie."

Draco groaned at the dreaded nickname and started to mutter something about stupid, nickname, kill and Pansy. Hermione just laughed out loud during the whole drive which annoyed Draco immensely.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After the couple ate dinner, Draco was going to drive Hermione back home when...

"FLASH!!! BOOM!!!"

"Shit!"

Dreamaker: Hi everyone! So, how was it? I would say that this chapter is very long. There are actually two to three scenes in this chapter. But I had fun writing it anyway. I've been receiving reviews asking, "Why are Pansy and Hermione friends?" or "Why are Pansy and Hermione hugging each other?" and "Why is Draco not calling Hermione Mudblood?" Well, I have only one answer for those questions, "This is an A/U fic. There are many changes that occur that are not seen or related in the original story. I hope you could understand.
