Just a Day
Chapter Five
If anyone else had been in the room, it would've looked quite strange. Hermione and Malfoy were in the middle of the room seated on a huge levitating quill (Malfoy had performed an enlargement and levitating spell on it).
"Malfoy, this is weird," Hermione stated.
"Granger, are you always ungrateful?" Malfoy asked, and Hermione opened her mouth to respond but couldn't find anything to say, so she shut it again.
Malfoy conjured up a large fan on the floor in front of them, making the quill sway.
"Isn't this dangerous?"
Malfoy rolled his eyes. "Isn't walking dangerous? I mean, what if you fall and break your nose?" he said sarcastically.
Hermione gripped the quill tightly as the fan rocked the quill. Malfoy looked at Hermione who looked rather nervous.
"Are you scared?"
Hermione nodded silently.
"Scared of heights?"
Hermione shook her head.
"Scared of… do you get motion sickness?" Malfoy hoped it was a no.
Hermione nodded.
"Ok…" Malfoy slid forward on the quill nearer to Hermione. "Close your eyes." He turned down the fan so that it was just a gentle breeze. "Is that better?"
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "Yep."
There was a moments pause before, "Why are you being so nice?"
Malfoy shrugged. "I guess you're not too bad."
"Only not too bad?" Hermione smiled and pushed her hair behind her ears. "So this is like flying huh?"
Malfoy laughed, "On a nice day, I guess it's pretty close to this. Depends how windy it is. Quidditch is much more exciting than just sitting on a swaying broomstick, or large levitating quill for that matter. Just imagine looking down and seeing the whole school from bird's eye view," Hermione shuddered to think how high she would be above the ground, "It's not scary, it's… it's the feeling of being free," Hermione pictured Harry and Ron flying with her wherever they wanted. The light swaying of the quill made Hermione feel sleepy. After all, the potion was wearing off. Before she knew it she fell asleep, Malfoy's voice in her ear.
"Imagine that, it doesn't seem scary at all anymore, does it? Granger? Granger?" Malfoy looked down where Hermione had fallen asleep on his chest.
"Are you asleep?"
No reply. Malfoy grinned. "She sleeps." He wrapped an arm around her waist to stop her from sliding off the quill.
Malfoy too dozed off and was awoken by the realization that sitting on a quill with someone leaning on you was extremely uncomfortable. He levitated the quill gently down so his feet could touch the floor and the fan vanished with a flick of his wand. Hermione was still sleeping, so Malfoy carefully lifted her around her body and under her legs to lie her down on the bed. Hermione stirred as he did this and opened her eyes.
"Granger?"
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!" Malfoy dropped Hermione in surprise.
"Ow!"
"Sorry!"
"What do you think you're doing?" Hermione demanded after getting over the shock of waking up to Malfoy's face.
"Well, I was taking you to the bed, but you woke up and screamed at me!"
"You dropped me!" Hermione argued.
"I said sorry!"
"It still hurts!"
"My ears are permanently damaged!"
"Well my butt is permanently bruised!" Hermione said, allowing Malfoy to pull her up from the floor.
I think your butt looks fine, Malfoy thought to himself.
"What are you looking at?" Hermione asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Nothing," Malfoy positioned his eyes to focus on a bit of dirt on the floor.
"You're such a retard, you know that?" Hermione lay down on the right side of the bed.
"You're such a snob, you know that?" Malfoy stomped round to the other side of the bed and lay down.
"Fine," Hermione turned to face the wall.
"Fine," Malfoy turned to face the opposite wall.
"Have a nice sleep Draco Retard Malfoy."
"And yourself Hermione Snob Granger."
