Chapter Six - Similar Plans
That night Hermione smiled into her pillow, imagining Ron's face. Her being with Malfoy infuriated him; it was the perfect revenge. It would be easy to start a rumour about herself and Malfoy, but they lived together, just like every other Head Boy and Girl had, and there were always rumours about the happenings behind the statue.
She'd have to get him to like her, somehow. They seemed to have hit it off pretty well so far, but that was because each was trying to be civil to the other. To make this plan worked she'd have to get him to like her. More than like; she shuddered at the very thought of it. But she wouldn't have to touch him, just make it appear like she did.
Then Ron and Harry will know just how it feels to be discarded, even better because their reaction to her and Malfoy would be priceless.
She rolled over and shut her eyes, smiling at the plan unfolding her in brain.
Malfoy lay on his bed and smirked as he recalled the look Weasel had given him. Who knew the Mudblood meant anything to him? Well, he would play that to his advantage. Weasel probably spent the rest of the day ranting about him and Hermione. Well good, it would give Malfoy more time to enjoy his fury.
The added bonus was that if Weasel and Potter hadn't pushed Hermione away in the first place, she wouldn't have to go anywhere near him. So it was their own fault she found someone else. He smirked to himself as the plan laid itself around him. He would just have to pretend he had fallen for her, she's so insecure that she would jump at the chance for a boyfriend. Then the fun begins...
The next day, Hermione rose early, needing to take a bath before breakfast. Draco was already up.
"Morning, Hermione." He gave her one of his calm, calculating looks. "Did you sleep well?" His eyes lit up with genuine curiosity.
Hermione was almost knocked back with surprise. "Very," he smiled at her. "And you?"
"Like a log." His grin became a bit toothier as she turned and walked into the bathroom.
"This is going to be easier than I thought." Hermione grinned to herself as she shut the door.
Malfoy stared at the shut door; "This is going to be easier than I thought."
