The Taming of the Brats
Summary: Ginny declares that she won't date any more guys until Hermione does after a recent horrible, heartbreaking break-up of hers. Hermione is a huge loser who will never get a date. This means trouble for boys like Draco Malfoy who want to date Ginny with the burning passion of a thousand winds. Do you smell some juicy deals wafting our way? I do! I do! Read this story full of drugs, alcohol, and stupid dumbasses. Based on as many Shakespearean plays as I can think of but mostly the little bit I know of The Taming of the Shrew. It's also kind of based on 10 Things I Hate About You which is based on The Taming of the Shrew so that would make sense, wouldn't it..
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of these characters (except for Bob). The main storyline is based on Shakespearean plays.
-------------------------------------------
Hermione stormed through the streets of Hogsmeade in a rage. She wanted to grab the nearest person to her and rip their head off.
GOD! How could Ron do that? And to have the nerve to say that he actually enjoyed the date afterwards? That just makes it FIFTY TIMES WORSE! She may as well just go home before the stupid date with Harry if he really hated her and was just bet to do this.
'I mean honestly!' She thought. 'How do you get that mean? How could you actually be that horrible of the person and be so heartless as to do something like that?!?!?!'
She stormed out of Hogsmeade and back to the school as fast as she possible could without killing someone. [A/N: I don't know how they get to and from Hogsmeade, but it always seemed like they walked.. So, sorry if I get this part wrong] She was just so upset and so disappointed. This was the time where she really needed a friend. A friend whose shoulder she could cry on. She used to be such good friends with Ginny, but over the summer when Hermione got her glasses and started reading a lot more and focusing more on her schoolwork (who thought that was possible?!) Ginny kind of separated from her.
'Is there something wrong with me?' Hermione suddenly wondered to herself, stopping in the middle of a staircase to the third floor. She had never really wondered why Ginny had stopped hanging around with her, but she supposed that it was just because her and Ginny had their own interests and their personalities didn't really fit together so well. 'I started wearing glasses and studying more. But I already was studying and paying attention to my schoolwork a lot to begin with.' She was discovering so much that day, so much was coming together in her mind.
'Was this all a coincidence?' she continued wondering. 'I always just assumed it was- now I feel so stupid! Obviously they all hate me because I am the epitome of a nerd. Well, I'm going to show them. I'm going to make myself up like they've never seen anyone made up before. Wait till they see the new Hermione at dinner tonight. Won't they be surprised.' Hermione cackled slightly to herself under her breath as she started up the stairs again, mapping her plan out in her mind.
Step one: Raid Lavender and Parvati's closets to get some major ho-bag clothing. They have so much shit in there that no one would notice anything missing.
Hee, hee... won't this be interesting...
--------- ------------- -------------
Meanwhile, back in Hogsmeade, Draco had been secretly stalking Ginny. He wanted to ask her out so freaking badly but there was something holding him back so he ended up just wandering around several feet behind her.
What was holding him back might have been the fact that the stupid midnight make out with Ron was still bugging him. His feelings were confusing him so much right now he just wanted to delete his memory or something and start a new life as someone else.
Then he suddenly realized something. Maybe if he went out with Ginny then he could find out whether or not he really was gay! Maybe there would be something inside him that told him what his sexual orientation was and maybe if he dated Ginny all his feelings for Ron (if there were any- which there hopefully weren't) would disappear!
'Perfect plan, Draco, if I do say so myself,' he thought to himself arrogantly, smiling smugly and strolling up to Ginny to ask her the "big question".
He walked quickly up to her as though maybe he was scared that someone else would catch her first. And they almost did.
Right as Draco reached Ginny, Seamus Finnegan did, too.
"I need to talk to you, Ginny," the both said at the same time. They looked at each other with annoyed expressions.
"Me first," the both said.
They looked at each other, annoyed, again. Draco sighed angrily. Seamus did something that sounded like a growl.
"Wow... Um... I'm not really sure what to say," Ginny stammered. She was used to having boys fight over her, but not when she was in this state. Who would want to date her when she was all depressed, anyway? And besides, she would just have to inform them that unless Hermione randomly got a guy, then she wasn't up for grabs. "Look, I'm not really in the mood to talk to anyone right now. So, maybe I'll talk to you later."
"No, wait," Draco and Seamus said in unison. "Would you stop saying what I say?!" they said again. "God!"
"You know what? Fine- FINE! I'll be the big man here and I'll talk to her later," Seamus spat angrily at Draco.
"Thank you, Finnegan," Draco replied smugly, obviously thinking that he had played some mind game on Seamus causing him to give in.
Seamus stomped off into another street in Hogsmeade while Draco turned to talk to Ginny.
"I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, Ginny," Draco said in the most heartfelt voice he could muster. "But then I heard that you wouldn't date until Hermione did. But I just saw her out with Ron so, I guess you can date again."
"What?!" Ginny cried. "Hermione got a date!? She wasn't supposed to get a date! Not unless... I don't know... someone bribed someone else into doing that-"
"I'm sorry, I won't wait! I won't give in!" Seamus suddenly said, running back up to Draco and Ginny. "I'm not going to just let him have you. Not when I've worked this hard."
"You..." Ginny whispered. "You both... You sick, twisted, horrible people- bribing? Who- no, how? How did you do it? How did you possibly get anyone to date Hermione? Wait, no, let me guess. You got him a date with someone he wanted to go out with? Is that how you did it?"
"Wait, you're trying to tell me that Ron went out with Hermione?" Seamus said, puzzled. "No, you see, Harry did. I gave Harry some nice weed so he'd date that moron. What'd you do for Ron?"
Draco blushed furiously at this question. There was no way he was going to answer it and tell ANYONE what he did.
"If you don't mind, Finnegan," Draco growled. "Ginny and I were having an intimate moment here before you came and interrupted us!"
"Intimate moment?" Ginny asked. "What the hell are you talking about, Malfoy. I personally think both of you are horrible and disgusting people for bribing others into dating poor Hermione. I mean really, what's wrong with you assholes?!"
"I'm really sorry Ginny," Draco apologized, trying to sound sympathetic. "I realize that I did a horrible thing and my errors will never be repeated, but you have to understand, I did this all for my undying love for you. You are amazing Ginny, and this is how badly I want to be with you. Please, Ginny, just one date. Please."
Okay, so maybe half of that was a lie, but Draco was trying to sound as nice as he could! He did find it a rather difficult task, though.
"Oh, bullshit, Malfoy," Ginny replied, waving her hand dismissively in disgust. "I don't buy one bit of your crap. Just give it a rest- both of you! And leave me alone! And Hermione, too."
With that, she turned on her heel and stormed back to Hogwarts just like her own distressed friend had done just moments before.
