Chapter 1 The Dare
Hermione Granger sat on the Hogwarts Express for her final year at Hogwarts. She was of course looking forward to being head girl and giving up her
worries about protecting Harry from you-know-who (as he had finally been defeated by the Order last year). She also knew this was going to be her last year
until who knows what, and not to mention there were the N.E.W.T.S. coming. She realized that this should be a worry free ride this year, but it wasn't.
"Hey Hermy didn't you hear what I just said? Hey snap out of it!" Ron Weasly laughed. Clearly he was excited about something.
"Oh sorry what was it you guys were discussing?"Hermione demanded, "And stop calling me Hermy!"
"Well," Harry Potter was laughing quite hard now,"Wouldn't it be great to pull something big on Malfoy, something really, really good!"
"Go on I'm listening," Hermione cooed. "What is it we're going to do him?"
"Oh not us Hermy, you!" Ron laughed so hard he fell out of his seat.
"What is it already? And this better not be anything that could get me in trouble, because I made head girl!" Hermione boasted.
"Woo hoo big surprize," Ron said, "You see Hermy as head girl you should be kind to everyone at Hogwarts including a special someone. A very special
someone who may um well receive certain types of flirtation and uh hints of shall we say love and all. This someone being Draco Malfoy. All you have to do is..."
"What?!" shrieked Hermione.
"Now Hermy please don't interrupt!" cried Ron.
"Ron shut up and Harry stop giggling like a buffoon! I am not and am never ever going to do anything nice for Draco Malfoy! Okay? I have a role to play
as head girl and playing stupid tricks on Draco Malfoy pretending I fancy him or something is just so immature and not like a head. And stop calling me
Hermy! It's annoying and it's not my name. Now I have to go find the prefects' compartment soon and we all have to change into our robes. hmph!"and with that
Hermione started to walk away.
"Wait!"cried Harry, "Hermione we were just thinking about it. Come back!"
"Well if you can get Mr. I-am-so-stupid-Weasly to behave I just might," Hermione calmed down a bit.
"Hey!" yelled Ron, "Oh alright I'll lay off on calling you Hermy."
"Good." Hermione sat back down as Ron mimmicked her secretly. "You know," she said rather dryly, "If you care so much about this in love with Malfoy trick
you might as well pretend that Mr. I can't-mimmick-Hermione-very-well-Weasly is in love with him."
"I can mimmick you too!" Ron shouted. He was turning red now, because he didn't think Hermione had really noticed that he had made fun of her.
"Wait a minute Mione you're a genious! Ron mate you've got to do it; it would be hilarious!" Hermione loved it when Harry called her Mione.
"Huh? Oh you mean go and fancy Malfoy and be all over him? Hmmm now that you mention it I could..." Ron thought outloud.
"Oh really Ron I was joking. I thought you'd be fuming at that idea. I mean he's horrid, he always makes fun of you, even pretending to fancy him is
vile and just so...ew!"
"But that's the fun part! Besides, with Fred and George gone, who'll be out there giving all the gryffindors a good laugh?" Ron protested.
"I don't believe this, it shouldn't matter Ron. And Harry don't encourage him. You should both focus on the N.E.W.T.S.!" Both boys groaned at this.
Hermione knew nothing was going to be able stop them. She wished that she atleast hadn't scolded Harry. Ever since Sirius died she had gone a bit soft for
him. She couldn't think of how this trick was going to work, and ugh Malfoy? The same Malfoy who calls her mudblood all the time? Couldn't they just hex him?
Speak of the devil. Malfoy had just entered he compartment.
"Mudblood you're wanted!"he barked.
"Excuse me?" Hermione asked.
"Granger are you not or are you head girl?" he impatiently questioned. Why did he always make her look like a fool?
"Yes of course but why did you come to get me?" This was weird she thought.
"Because, you idiotic little mudblood, I AM HEAD BOY!" he practically shouted. Guess someone had had a bad summer.
"Pipe down Malfoy! She didn't think a creep like you could ever get head boy. How much did mommy pay for this one?" Yay thought Hermione, Harry
to the rescue! Just then Malfoy yanked her hand and spat "Come on Granger we've got to go to compartment number nine!"
"Bye bye Draco!" Ron, who had said nothing this whole time, giggled and waved. A look of horror spread across Malfoys' face. Harry had to hold back
laughter with all of his strength. Hmm, thought Hermione, this could possibly be fun after all.
