Dark Matter (Black space between stars)
A/N: In one of my reviews, someone said they couldn't wait to see how I incorporated the Tri-Wizard tournament. What's funny is that until a while ago, I had forgotten about the Tri-Wizard tournament, just like Hermy. BTW, which nickname do you guys like more? Herm, or Mione? I personally prefer Mione, just because Herm sounds like Perm, and those things are pretty scary if done wrong...
"This is not good, this is so not good." I muttered, more to myself than to Draco, who was sitting on a desk, calmly swinging his legs.
"Come on, Harry will understand." He chuckled. "And if not, you don't need a friend like him anyway."
"You just don't get it, do you?" I snapped. "Harry, Ron, and I have been through a lot. A lot more than you and I have been through."
He looked at me skeptically. "Was that a threat?"
"Hell yes." I barked. Shaking my head, I sat down on a desk. "I cannot believe how amazingly complicated things have gotten."
"Don't worry." Draco had softened again. He was like that strange stuff my aunt showed me how to make one time. You mix like, three fourths of cup of corn starch and half a cup of water, and you get this really weird stuff. It's really hard when you try and poke it really fast, but if you wait a while, it gets all soft and liquid-y. "It will all be okay."
"How can you be so sure?" I cried.
"Because I love you." He wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "And you love me too. And love conquers all."
"Actually, it's true love conquers all." We both jumped again as Ginny stuck her head in the door. "But I think you two have it covered anyway."
"Is there no privacy in this whole god-damned castle?" Draco screamed.
"Watch your language around our sister." Fred and George were right behind her. "Just because Hermione likes you doesn't mean we have to."
"Oh great. Where's Ron? And Percy? And whatever else lives in that house with you?" Draco sighed.
"Hey, the only non-human things in our house are our owls, and the ghoul-" Fred began, but George interrupted.
"I'm sorry, but you two together is beyond creepy." He shuddered
"You're the ones who were trying to set us up in the first place." I grumbled, but I was smiling.
"Speaking of which..." George tried to look innocent. "I think someone owes me an apology."
"Don't push your luck." Draco growled.
"Shush." I scolded. "For me, would you guys at least pretend to act civil?"
"It'll be strech, but..." Fred pretended to think it over while George scratched his head.
"Whatever." Ginny sighed. "I think it's cute. Bitter rivals, turned star-crossed lovers. It'll be like Romeo and Juliette, minus the whole, you know, killing themselves thing."
"No, everyone else will do that for us when they find out. This school isn't full of Benvolio's, you know." He sighed.
I looked at him. "You know Shakespeare?"
"Had to do something for fourteen years before I got with you."
"Watch it, or it could be another fourteen before you get any more."
Draco kissed me. "Only about fourteen seconds, there."
"Okay, this is beyond disgusting." Fred covered his eyes. "You two flirting, I could handle, but kissing is way too weird at the moment."
"Then don't watch." Draco wiggled his eyebrows at them before kissing me again.
Pretty soon all three of them left, leaving me and Draco to an hour of blissful alone-time.
When I got back to the common room, it was empty except for Ron and Harry.
"Hermione, where've you been?" Ron cried, looking up from his Divination homework. I looked over at Harry, who wouldn't look at me.
"Studying." I said simply.
"For what?" Harry muttered, a sour look on his face.
"Everything, if I know Herm." Ron laughed.
"You'd be surprised to know that you don't." He snapped, standing up and stomping up the boys stairs.
Ron watched him go in amazement. "What was that all about?"
I swallowed hard. "I have no idea."
A/N: That's an actual recepie up there. Try it sometime. I was going for a similie. Anyone get it?
