CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: Tragedy of a teenage mood swing
MY THANKS TO MANY DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE THAT I HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE BUT STILL LOVE DEARLY (please read, takes time to write it you know!):
- Burgundyred – No, I don't read slash either, I don't even know why I wrote one (kind of) but you know, my brain works weird. Yes, I guess it was kind of OOC for Hermione to be doing that, I'm not good with keeping people in character, you kind of mould them, and then all of a sudden you have this person you THINK they are, but they're not really. I hope that made sense. Oh and by the way, Draco will be a little OOC, or a lot, depending on how you see it, the thing is, to end this fic successfully, I think I need the OOC-ness. I might just put in another bit in the next chapter to try and make it less OOC, although the extra bit I might add just might make everything worse. Well, it's worth a try, right?
- Fluff – Hehe, well, I don't actually know, read end author note, all shall be understood (I hope). I know it was crazy, but then again, that was promised in the title of this fic . . . Oh and thank you very much for reviewing!
- SweetCheeksDracoLuver – Whoa, two threatening reviews, wow, lol, thank you for bothering to review so long, and thanks for trying to murder me for not updating for so long, but by now most people should know that I don't give up THAT easily on things! Lol, anyway, thank you again and I really hope you enjoy this chappie. By the way, I will read your fic eventually, I've been really busy lately, so I haven't even had time to write, let alone read anything!
- Some12 – Lmao, you know what's funny? I've never dissected anything before, of course, I've wanted to, but its not like I'm going to go pick some random dead object and pick at it, lol. And by the way, good for you about that evil teacher popping vein thing, I had a look at my head the other day and I realised that I might have an evil poppy vein thing too, which just completely freaked me out and taught me never to look at my head again, lol.
- Ding – Aw thanks, and I think you should have seen it by now anyway . . . come to think of it, I talked to you straight after you saw it, right? Short term memory loss, never helps anyone . . .
- Milocachica - Nah, that's alright, at least you mentioned the other fic, anyway, thank you for reviewing, and well, Draco is kind of . . . staying away from the subject cus' deep down inside (deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, down inside) he feels really shy and kind of cowardly. Well, my Draco does anyway!
- Lily of the shadow – Yes, the release date, I just couldn't resist that little tease, I mean, temptation is hard to resist, right? Lol, thanks for reviewing, sorry if the update took too long.
- Gina – HOORAY!!!! I'm so happy for you! I mean, I don't see why I shouldn't be happy for you anyway, and I don't know if this is good, I read it through, but I can't say what I think about the chapter, just might affect what you think, hehe
- Tinuviel Storm - Heh, sorry, just couldn't resist a little tease, lol, there's one problem with me answering your question. I'm not quite sure what I am supposed to be answering . . . oh and yes, I did once say that I didn't like Lord of the Rings, but then again, some say I'm too opinionated :P hang on, was that the question I was supposed to answer?
- Happigolucki616 - I still can't believe that it will be forever until you read this! Well, you did say that you might be able to go on the Internet while you were in Brazil, but I doubt that you will read this! But that doesn't stop me from hoping you with read this when you come back! So, thanks for reviewing, here is the update!
- Callie – Thank you for the review, and for agreeing with me! I actually was kind of surprised I understood what you said lol
- Elvinscarf – You know, when I read your review, I suddenly started singing that Justin Timberlake song . . . strange huh . . .

- Paprika90 – Yes, I prefer your second suggestion too! (Hint there for you) Lol, anyway, thank you for that lovely long review, I really enjoyed reading it, although the ones that typed a shorter review were nice as well! I really hope you enjoy this chapter by the way, and be sure to read the author note at the bottom!
- ChIcKa – Thank you for reviewing, and I like to email you, even if you do check! I feel much more responsible (although I forget everytime) and by the way, I like yappers! Its what makes the world go round! Lol

- Nixie911 – Lol, right, thanks for staying up so long just to read this fanfiction! I hope you got enough sleep, lol, oh and 'cough' I'm afraid longer chapters cannot happen! For the fact that the fic is nearly ending anyway, read the ending author note, it might make sense more there!
- Eventuality – I know! Have you seen the movie? Isn't it great! I mean, sure, they missed out a hell of a lot of stuff, but it was so funny, me and my mate were laughing our pants off, lol, anyway, thanks for reviewing, hope you like this chappie!
- Black-unicorn13 – Lol, now I wonder if you slept for three weeks? Hmm, lol, anyway, sorry that this update took a while, I was lazy and too busy to write, so there you are. You're going to have to read on to see what Draco says, hehehehehe
- Anonymous – Yes, I mean, if someone asked you out using a giant microphone, wouldn't you be embarrassed too? I would SO admire anyone who would do that, lol, although I guess you must be kind of creepy if you did do that . . .
- Cereza – Oooo, maybe Harry does like Drako back, MWHAHAHAHHAHAHAH, YOU SHALL NEVER KNOW! Lol, and the reason why you shall never know is cus' I don't want to tell you :P and haha, I'm younger than most people here, I assure you.
- Karana Belle – Aw thank you so much for reviewing, and saying what you did! I don't think I'm that good at writing humour/romance together, lol, took me so long to get used to it! And yeh, I did kind of prefer Little Draco, but what's done is done, so there you are. Oh and just to say, there's never such a thing as having too many reviews!
- Sessyluver03 – Heheheheheheh, thank you very much, hehehehehehehehe
- Zinok – Oh, sorry, I am really, because well, read end author note and you will find out why, I guess, yeah, I might just put another experiment in, but I might not . . . just read the end author note and all shall be clear! (Well, clearer anyway, lol)
- Kleebabe – Lol, glad you liked it, I don't know how I came up with that idea . . . thanks for reviewing, here's the update!
- Pyroprincess4rmeverwood – Yes, well, I knew by the time I updated it would b way past the release date for Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, I just couldn't resist. Apparently, it's the first ever movie to earn over five million pounds on the first day of release in the U.K
- Tears-That-Fall – Well, Drako can act 16 when he really wants to, but most of the time, he doesn't like to, so he acts like a little child. Makes his life much more interesting, no?
- Draco is all mine – No, I wouldn't take a year to update! Maybe a few months, but not a year, lol. Compared to some people I could name and shame, but won't, I update kind of good. Less than a month anyway! Thanks for the review.
- Smileyface1314 – Omg, I would never do what Hermione did! And I don't think the Hermione in the book would have either, but I just write stuff weird, lol. You would be so brave to actually do that! And you've seen Harry Potter 3 already now, right? Thanks for reviewing by the way!
- Fairy Lights – You're not the only one who suggested more suggestions, I will think about it, but read the end author note and you will see why I can't make it a certain thing. Thanks!
- Spaced Out Space Cadet – You know I love the name Norman, it's like 'Bob', 'Jimmy' and the best name of all time 'Jimbob' lol. Thanks so much for reviewing! Enjoy the chappie!
- PartlyFoxyPartlyGrandma – Lol, love your name, and I definitely prefer Rupert, no matter what anyone says! Hehe, I was high on sugar when I wrote this, or at least I think I was, short term memory loss, sure I've mentioned THAT before, lol. Thanks for reviewing by the way.
- Sarah – You can say its weird, I don't mind. I mean, I AM WEIRD, lol, makes the whole world unique, weird people do. Imagine, the world filled with boring old farts, now THAT would be some sight to see.
- Jade the Fairyness – Lol, yes, they are all uncontrollably out of character! But hey, what difference does it make when it makes people smile? Yes, I am pathetic, hehe. Sugar does wonders you see.
- Sunflower18 – Here's the update, enjoy.
- Loah – Ah yes, the shortness, I can't ever make the chapters long enough, even if I try, sigh, it's something I can' ever do I'm afraid, sorry. Really hope you enjoy the chapter! It was the best I could do (for now anyway :P)
- LythTaeraneth – OMG!!! DO I KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO REMUS? YES, OF COURSE I DID! They made him a complete DRIP. I mean, seriously, I know I ranted on about this in my review to LiMM, but oh well, oh and Neville, must, die. I hate Neville, he's growing up and I don't like it. Bleh. Draco was hot though, lol. I was laughing my ass off at Snape in that dress too. I was watching an interview, and apparently, when Alan Rickman was in that dress, he was pretending to be a real old lady as well! LOL. Oh and Rupert rocks, needs a haircut slightly, but oh yes, he rocks. And yes, SIRIUS MUST COME BACK!! (ILUVRONWEASLEY has now gone off to sob)
- Astridstar14 – Lol, yes, okay, here is the next chappie, although you still won't find out the answer, hehe . . .
- Dragon-rose-vine – Sorry if the update took a while, here's the chapter! Thanks for reviewing!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, lala. You know, I could put all my disclaimers into one and make my own groovy song! Or better still, a rap! Lol, I'm only kidding, me, rapping? That's as likely as Eminem singing opera . . . but do you know something that really takes up the room in the chapter? Well, I'm not going to tell you, hehe.
-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Everyone was staring, and a select few were glaring, at this boy who we know, as Draco Malfoy (so the last bit didn't rhyme, oh well, I tried). He was staring at Hermione. Hermione was staring at him. Hermione and Draco were both staring at each other.
"I . . . don't know," Draco sighed. She expected him, Draco Malfoy to give an answer in such short time? Important matters like this needed TIME. And the time he needed was a million light-years.
"ANSWER ME!!!!!! YOU FORGET, THIS WAND CAN DOUBLE AS A LETHAL WEAPON, AND A MICROPHONE!!!!!!!!!!"
"And you forget, Hermione," Draco said slowly, his eyes shining mischievously giving him a rather sexy appeal, "I have a wand as well! MWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA – "
And with a puff of cough-worthy smoke, Draco Malfoy was gone from the classroom. Damn it. Hermione had embarrassed herself in front of the entire year group, and many members of staff (who cared if she didn't know half of them, they're still people!) and what was it for? NOTHING. She turned towards her Aunt Emi, who had finally gotten better, after her apparent 'cold'.
"Please excuse me Aunt Emi, I'd like permission to go to Hogsmeade."
"Err, yes dear, of course you can," Dr. Granger replied rather happily, as if blissfully unaware that just because you are related to a student, it does not mean that you can let them off the hook for screaming at full blast while treading on someone's breakfast (or in this case, nearly drowning Drako's fly).
"Are you sure that's wise, Doctor?" Lee said, sipping his coffee while sticking his little finger out (or as I like to refer to it, his little pinkie)
"Oh Lee, as a man of forty-four, you really have a lot to learn about woman," Dr. Granger sighed, while Lee spat out his coffee into the face of the person opposite – who just 'happened to be' Snape, "What is a woman's best friend? Shoes of course!"
And boy did Hermione shop for her 'friends'.
Now, of course, our Hermione is not a typical woman. Heck, she might not even BE a woman for all we know. But, anyway, normally, she was not a woman who would just cry, break down when someone rejected her, and she was not the type to not care either, and she was also not the type to drown herself in a world filled with nothing but handbags, shoes, and comfort food. But today was not a normal day, so therefore she would not be doing what she normally would do.
"I'll take the 'Good-for-value ice cream', the one with chocolate, strawberry, banana, mint, vanilla, watermelon . . . and, gouche?" Hermione squinted at the sign above the ice cream lady, so she had no idea what the hell 'gouche' was, oh well, if they were selling it, it couldn't kill her then could it.
It had only been ten minutes since she had gotten to Hogsmeade with her galleons, and she had already bought books, chocolate, flowers, books, clothes, underwear, books, shoes, hair accessories, books, and who could go shopping and not buy one of Millie's delightful cookies (people who eat Millie's cookies will know what I mean, hehe)
"Here you go ma'am."
The lady handed over a gigantic ice cream to Hermione. She tried to carry it and nearly toppled over with the weight of it.
"Heh . . . I'll just . . . sit down and eat it."
She chose a table with an umbrella so that she could sit comfortably in the shade. For once it was sunny in England, yet she felt completely opposite to it. Damn Draco Malfoy. Damn her for fancying him. Damn everyone!
Her face red with fury, Hermione dug her spoon forcefully into the gigantic ice cream, making dollops of it land on random people that she did not care about. She began to scoop big bits of ice cream into her mouth, before realising that she needed a bigger spoon. But alas, she could not be bothered to get up and get another spoon . . .
"Stupid frickin' ice cream people who don't even give you big enough spoons . . ." Hermione mumbled to herself, prodding her ice cream with her too small spoon.
"You need some help with that?"
Hermione didn't even need to look around to know who that voice belonged to. That horrid, filthy, annoying, and soooo girly, yet beautiful, sweet and melodic little voice, that she so dearly loved and hated. It both disgusted her, and gave her the shivers. Three guesses who it was . . .
"Hello, earth to Hermione," Draco said, grabbing a nearby chair and dragging it up next to her, "What are you doing skiving off school then? I expect it of me, but I certainly don't expect it of you! Tut-tut, naughty girl."
Hermione didn't reply. Why did he do this? Torture her by talking to her, and then torture her more by ignoring her. It was a love-hate relationship really, and right now all she wanted to do was strangle him to death. He didn't answer her all-important question, he didn't even pay her any attention except for when he wanted to, the stupid little . . .
"Ah!" Yes, she squeaked. Hermione Granger squeaked like a girly-girl. Why? Well, the feel of soft fingers stroking her hand was why. As much as she fancied Draco, she didn't really appreciate being stroked thank you very much.
"I knew I could get your attention, I am the king!!!" Draco nodded to himself, as he dipped his finger into Hermione's ice cream and licked it.
"Don't touch my ice cream, Malfoy."
Draco looked slightly shocked at the name change. His eyebrows lowered into a heavy frown.
"Why the change of name, HERMIONE? I'm not that horrid you know, otherwise I wouldn't be here talking to you now, would I?" Draco eyed Hermione, trying his best to catch her eyes which he never did, so instead he looked towards her many different shopping bags, "Whoa, what did you buy? There are millions of bags here."
Draco began to rampage around in Hermione's bags, taking out random objects and 'oo-ing' at them. He pulled out some of the new underwear Hermione had bought.
"Wow, never knew you had it in you," Draco growled, his eyes gleaming at a certain piece of underwear in one of her many bags.
Hermione couldn't take it anymore. Stupid obnoxious brat who wasn't even brave enough to answer her question. If he wasn't going to answer her than there was no point even being near him anymore. She got up, dropped her spoon onto the floor and left without even a thought to her uneaten ice cream and her many shopping bags littering the floor.
"Hey Hermione!! You left your bags!!!!" Draco shouted, picking up the spoon from the floor, "OI!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU IGNORING ME???????????"
Draco sat and watched as Hermione stalked off, her bushy hair blowing in the wind giving her an angry glow. He looked at the spoon in his hand and then at the shopping bags and then at the ice cream.
"Well, I might as well take her bags up to the room for her," Draco mumbled to himself, "But for that I'll need energy, and seeing as she isn't going to come back for this lovely ice cream of hers, I'm sure she won't mind if I . . ." But Draco had no time to finish his sentence, for he had begun to dig into Hermione's ice cream, head first.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$-
Hermione had a banging headache. And it was definitely not helping that Drako was hanging his head out of the window and declaring his love for Harry yet again. She decided that seeing as Draco wasn't going to answer her, she was going to pretend that she didn't want to know his answer. If she didn't, Draco would merely get pleasure out of her pain. Grr. She felt faint as she closed her eyes and leant back so that her head rested on her pillow. Even her old Gryffindor bed smelt of Draco . . .
"Thinking of me?"
Hermione shot up and whacked her head hard against the person who had been leaning over her, i.e. Draco.
"Go away!" Hermione screamed, she was not in the mood to deal with Draco, even if he was carrying all her shopping bags using some random charm.
"What? Are you mad at me for eating your ice cream?" Draco frowned, wiping his mouth to make sure no traces of delicious, soft, ice cream was left around his perfectly fine lips.
"YOU ATE HER ICE CREAM????????" Drako exclaimed, a shocked expression on his face as he stuck his head back in from the window, "THAT, MISTER, IS GOING TOO FAR!!!!!"
Drako went over to Hermione and sat down beside her, patting her on the shoulder as she lay, her face stuck in the pillow, "I know how you feel Herms, I mean, I would cry too if someone ate my ice cream - mean old man."
Draco scowled, putting the shopping bags down. Hermione still didn't reply, but merely decided that lying down on a bed doing nothing was better than facing up and looking at Draco, even if he was a pretty site to see.
"Hey," Draco shouted, trying to catch Hermione's attention. There was no reply, "Oi!!!!" He shouted, still nothing. Drako sighed, and patted Draco on the shoulder, mumbling something about 'men these days being so inconsiderate'. He then left, saying that someone had invited him over for a tea party, and he couldn't 'afford' to be late (he probably paid them to get invited in the first place).
Draco chose to ignore the things that Drako had said to him. Anything that Drako said couldn't be important.
"Hermione," He purred, trying to get her to notice him. Still she didn't move, Draco was beginning to get rather annoyed.
"What are you, DEAD??????"
Still no movement. Damn her, Draco scowled, "Aren't you even interested in my answer to that . . . question you asked me today?"
"No."
Draco sighed in relief. Thank god she wasn't dead, he might have been suspected of murder and thrown into Azkaban, even if he was innocent! But, hold on, what had she just said about not wanting to know about his answer? Draco frowned. Why didn't she want to know an answer?
"Why don't you want to know my answer?"
"Cus'."
"Cus' . . . ?"
"Cus' I don't care what you think or say anymore, you big fat jerk," Hermione cried into her pillow.
"I am deeply offended," Draco sniffed, "I am not fat!!!!!!!! And anyway, I'll tell you my answer, even if you don't want to know –
But Draco could not finish his sentence, why? Well, basically because by the time he had said all that he wanted to say, Hermione had zoomed out of the room.
Draco pouted. 'Rude,' he thought. One-minute she was so keen on asking him out, and then the next thing he knew, she didn't want anything to do with him! Sure, he did kind of blank her first, and he did kind of run away from her everytime she came near him, and yes, admittedly, he did run away from that little scene earlier that morning, but still! That was no reason for her to do that to him!
Inside Draco's pretty little mind, his brain began to click. Draco smirked, oh yes, she was trying to make him feel guilty by doing what he did to her (i.e. ignore her), so, if he did what she did to him . . .
"Hehe," Draco sniggered evilly, rubbing his hands together. Oh yes, he would show her . . . if she wouldn't listen to him, then he'd have to do it, HER way.
-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Okay people, here's the verdict, I shall be ending this fic in approximately two or three chapters, or maybe even the next chapter shall be the last. The reason is that I don't think I can stretch it anymore without it falling to pieces, therefore, I shall have to end it. Well, at least I think you will be pleased to hear (if you aren't already pleased, that is) that I have an ending prepared! Oh yes, I have the ending in my head! I talked it over with some friends, and after a while, we managed to decide on some random ending that hopefully won't disappoint too many people.
So, look forward to the next chapter, it may be the last! (Depending on what I write) Oh, and yes, I know this chapter was still rather short, don't rush me, I panic when I'm paranoid, and I'm paranoid when I panic. Either one, isn't that good.
PS. Next chapter will feature from Draco's POV (I think) and therefore, it shall be very OOC, sorry about that, just thought I might warn you. However, Hermione's POV will also be there (most of this fic is from Herms POV, next chapter shall be a mixture, that is what I am trying to say)
Summary: Hermione's aunt has been called to Hogwarts as she needs lots of children to be her 'guinea pigs' and of course, only Dumbledore is nice enough to let someone experiment with his students . . .

- Draco is all mine – No, I wouldn't take a year to update! Maybe a few months, but not a year, lol. Compared to some people I could name and shame, but won't, I update kind of good. Less than a month anyway! Thanks for the review.
- Smileyface1314 – Omg, I would never do what Hermione did! And I don't think the Hermione in the book would have either, but I just write stuff weird, lol. You would be so brave to actually do that! And you've seen Harry Potter 3 already now, right? Thanks for reviewing by the way!
- Fairy Lights – You're not the only one who suggested more suggestions, I will think about it, but read the end author note and you will see why I can't make it a certain thing. Thanks!
- Spaced Out Space Cadet – You know I love the name Norman, it's like 'Bob', 'Jimmy' and the best name of all time 'Jimbob' lol. Thanks so much for reviewing! Enjoy the chappie!
- PartlyFoxyPartlyGrandma – Lol, love your name, and I definitely prefer Rupert, no matter what anyone says! Hehe, I was high on sugar when I wrote this, or at least I think I was, short term memory loss, sure I've mentioned THAT before, lol. Thanks for reviewing by the way.
- Sarah – You can say its weird, I don't mind. I mean, I AM WEIRD, lol, makes the whole world unique, weird people do. Imagine, the world filled with boring old farts, now THAT would be some sight to see.
- Jade the Fairyness – Lol, yes, they are all uncontrollably out of character! But hey, what difference does it make when it makes people smile? Yes, I am pathetic, hehe. Sugar does wonders you see.
- Sunflower18 – Here's the update, enjoy.
- Loah – Ah yes, the shortness, I can't ever make the chapters long enough, even if I try, sigh, it's something I can' ever do I'm afraid, sorry. Really hope you enjoy the chapter! It was the best I could do (for now anyway :P)
- LythTaeraneth – OMG!!! DO I KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO REMUS? YES, OF COURSE I DID! They made him a complete DRIP. I mean, seriously, I know I ranted on about this in my review to LiMM, but oh well, oh and Neville, must, die. I hate Neville, he's growing up and I don't like it. Bleh. Draco was hot though, lol. I was laughing my ass off at Snape in that dress too. I was watching an interview, and apparently, when Alan Rickman was in that dress, he was pretending to be a real old lady as well! LOL. Oh and Rupert rocks, needs a haircut slightly, but oh yes, he rocks. And yes, SIRIUS MUST COME BACK!! (ILUVRONWEASLEY has now gone off to sob)
- Astridstar14 – Lol, yes, okay, here is the next chappie, although you still won't find out the answer, hehe . . .
- Dragon-rose-vine – Sorry if the update took a while, here's the chapter! Thanks for reviewing!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, lala. You know, I could put all my disclaimers into one and make my own groovy song! Or better still, a rap! Lol, I'm only kidding, me, rapping? That's as likely as Eminem singing opera . . . but do you know something that really takes up the room in the chapter? Well, I'm not going to tell you, hehe.

Everyone was staring, and a select few were glaring, at this boy who we know, as Draco Malfoy (so the last bit didn't rhyme, oh well, I tried). He was staring at Hermione. Hermione was staring at him. Hermione and Draco were both staring at each other.
"I . . . don't know," Draco sighed. She expected him, Draco Malfoy to give an answer in such short time? Important matters like this needed TIME. And the time he needed was a million light-years.
"ANSWER ME!!!!!! YOU FORGET, THIS WAND CAN DOUBLE AS A LETHAL WEAPON, AND A MICROPHONE!!!!!!!!!!"
"And you forget, Hermione," Draco said slowly, his eyes shining mischievously giving him a rather sexy appeal, "I have a wand as well! MWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA – "
And with a puff of cough-worthy smoke, Draco Malfoy was gone from the classroom. Damn it. Hermione had embarrassed herself in front of the entire year group, and many members of staff (who cared if she didn't know half of them, they're still people!) and what was it for? NOTHING. She turned towards her Aunt Emi, who had finally gotten better, after her apparent 'cold'.
"Please excuse me Aunt Emi, I'd like permission to go to Hogsmeade."
"Err, yes dear, of course you can," Dr. Granger replied rather happily, as if blissfully unaware that just because you are related to a student, it does not mean that you can let them off the hook for screaming at full blast while treading on someone's breakfast (or in this case, nearly drowning Drako's fly).
"Are you sure that's wise, Doctor?" Lee said, sipping his coffee while sticking his little finger out (or as I like to refer to it, his little pinkie)
"Oh Lee, as a man of forty-four, you really have a lot to learn about woman," Dr. Granger sighed, while Lee spat out his coffee into the face of the person opposite – who just 'happened to be' Snape, "What is a woman's best friend? Shoes of course!"
And boy did Hermione shop for her 'friends'.
Now, of course, our Hermione is not a typical woman. Heck, she might not even BE a woman for all we know. But, anyway, normally, she was not a woman who would just cry, break down when someone rejected her, and she was not the type to not care either, and she was also not the type to drown herself in a world filled with nothing but handbags, shoes, and comfort food. But today was not a normal day, so therefore she would not be doing what she normally would do.
"I'll take the 'Good-for-value ice cream', the one with chocolate, strawberry, banana, mint, vanilla, watermelon . . . and, gouche?" Hermione squinted at the sign above the ice cream lady, so she had no idea what the hell 'gouche' was, oh well, if they were selling it, it couldn't kill her then could it.
It had only been ten minutes since she had gotten to Hogsmeade with her galleons, and she had already bought books, chocolate, flowers, books, clothes, underwear, books, shoes, hair accessories, books, and who could go shopping and not buy one of Millie's delightful cookies (people who eat Millie's cookies will know what I mean, hehe)
"Here you go ma'am."
The lady handed over a gigantic ice cream to Hermione. She tried to carry it and nearly toppled over with the weight of it.
"Heh . . . I'll just . . . sit down and eat it."
She chose a table with an umbrella so that she could sit comfortably in the shade. For once it was sunny in England, yet she felt completely opposite to it. Damn Draco Malfoy. Damn her for fancying him. Damn everyone!
Her face red with fury, Hermione dug her spoon forcefully into the gigantic ice cream, making dollops of it land on random people that she did not care about. She began to scoop big bits of ice cream into her mouth, before realising that she needed a bigger spoon. But alas, she could not be bothered to get up and get another spoon . . .
"Stupid frickin' ice cream people who don't even give you big enough spoons . . ." Hermione mumbled to herself, prodding her ice cream with her too small spoon.
"You need some help with that?"
Hermione didn't even need to look around to know who that voice belonged to. That horrid, filthy, annoying, and soooo girly, yet beautiful, sweet and melodic little voice, that she so dearly loved and hated. It both disgusted her, and gave her the shivers. Three guesses who it was . . .
"Hello, earth to Hermione," Draco said, grabbing a nearby chair and dragging it up next to her, "What are you doing skiving off school then? I expect it of me, but I certainly don't expect it of you! Tut-tut, naughty girl."
Hermione didn't reply. Why did he do this? Torture her by talking to her, and then torture her more by ignoring her. It was a love-hate relationship really, and right now all she wanted to do was strangle him to death. He didn't answer her all-important question, he didn't even pay her any attention except for when he wanted to, the stupid little . . .
"Ah!" Yes, she squeaked. Hermione Granger squeaked like a girly-girl. Why? Well, the feel of soft fingers stroking her hand was why. As much as she fancied Draco, she didn't really appreciate being stroked thank you very much.
"I knew I could get your attention, I am the king!!!" Draco nodded to himself, as he dipped his finger into Hermione's ice cream and licked it.
"Don't touch my ice cream, Malfoy."
Draco looked slightly shocked at the name change. His eyebrows lowered into a heavy frown.
"Why the change of name, HERMIONE? I'm not that horrid you know, otherwise I wouldn't be here talking to you now, would I?" Draco eyed Hermione, trying his best to catch her eyes which he never did, so instead he looked towards her many different shopping bags, "Whoa, what did you buy? There are millions of bags here."
Draco began to rampage around in Hermione's bags, taking out random objects and 'oo-ing' at them. He pulled out some of the new underwear Hermione had bought.
"Wow, never knew you had it in you," Draco growled, his eyes gleaming at a certain piece of underwear in one of her many bags.
Hermione couldn't take it anymore. Stupid obnoxious brat who wasn't even brave enough to answer her question. If he wasn't going to answer her than there was no point even being near him anymore. She got up, dropped her spoon onto the floor and left without even a thought to her uneaten ice cream and her many shopping bags littering the floor.
"Hey Hermione!! You left your bags!!!!" Draco shouted, picking up the spoon from the floor, "OI!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU IGNORING ME???????????"
Draco sat and watched as Hermione stalked off, her bushy hair blowing in the wind giving her an angry glow. He looked at the spoon in his hand and then at the shopping bags and then at the ice cream.
"Well, I might as well take her bags up to the room for her," Draco mumbled to himself, "But for that I'll need energy, and seeing as she isn't going to come back for this lovely ice cream of hers, I'm sure she won't mind if I . . ." But Draco had no time to finish his sentence, for he had begun to dig into Hermione's ice cream, head first.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$-
Hermione had a banging headache. And it was definitely not helping that Drako was hanging his head out of the window and declaring his love for Harry yet again. She decided that seeing as Draco wasn't going to answer her, she was going to pretend that she didn't want to know his answer. If she didn't, Draco would merely get pleasure out of her pain. Grr. She felt faint as she closed her eyes and leant back so that her head rested on her pillow. Even her old Gryffindor bed smelt of Draco . . .
"Thinking of me?"
Hermione shot up and whacked her head hard against the person who had been leaning over her, i.e. Draco.
"Go away!" Hermione screamed, she was not in the mood to deal with Draco, even if he was carrying all her shopping bags using some random charm.
"What? Are you mad at me for eating your ice cream?" Draco frowned, wiping his mouth to make sure no traces of delicious, soft, ice cream was left around his perfectly fine lips.
"YOU ATE HER ICE CREAM????????" Drako exclaimed, a shocked expression on his face as he stuck his head back in from the window, "THAT, MISTER, IS GOING TOO FAR!!!!!"
Drako went over to Hermione and sat down beside her, patting her on the shoulder as she lay, her face stuck in the pillow, "I know how you feel Herms, I mean, I would cry too if someone ate my ice cream - mean old man."
Draco scowled, putting the shopping bags down. Hermione still didn't reply, but merely decided that lying down on a bed doing nothing was better than facing up and looking at Draco, even if he was a pretty site to see.
"Hey," Draco shouted, trying to catch Hermione's attention. There was no reply, "Oi!!!!" He shouted, still nothing. Drako sighed, and patted Draco on the shoulder, mumbling something about 'men these days being so inconsiderate'. He then left, saying that someone had invited him over for a tea party, and he couldn't 'afford' to be late (he probably paid them to get invited in the first place).
Draco chose to ignore the things that Drako had said to him. Anything that Drako said couldn't be important.
"Hermione," He purred, trying to get her to notice him. Still she didn't move, Draco was beginning to get rather annoyed.
"What are you, DEAD??????"
Still no movement. Damn her, Draco scowled, "Aren't you even interested in my answer to that . . . question you asked me today?"
"No."
Draco sighed in relief. Thank god she wasn't dead, he might have been suspected of murder and thrown into Azkaban, even if he was innocent! But, hold on, what had she just said about not wanting to know about his answer? Draco frowned. Why didn't she want to know an answer?
"Why don't you want to know my answer?"
"Cus'."
"Cus' . . . ?"
"Cus' I don't care what you think or say anymore, you big fat jerk," Hermione cried into her pillow.
"I am deeply offended," Draco sniffed, "I am not fat!!!!!!!! And anyway, I'll tell you my answer, even if you don't want to know –
But Draco could not finish his sentence, why? Well, basically because by the time he had said all that he wanted to say, Hermione had zoomed out of the room.
Draco pouted. 'Rude,' he thought. One-minute she was so keen on asking him out, and then the next thing he knew, she didn't want anything to do with him! Sure, he did kind of blank her first, and he did kind of run away from her everytime she came near him, and yes, admittedly, he did run away from that little scene earlier that morning, but still! That was no reason for her to do that to him!
Inside Draco's pretty little mind, his brain began to click. Draco smirked, oh yes, she was trying to make him feel guilty by doing what he did to her (i.e. ignore her), so, if he did what she did to him . . .
"Hehe," Draco sniggered evilly, rubbing his hands together. Oh yes, he would show her . . . if she wouldn't listen to him, then he'd have to do it, HER way.

Okay people, here's the verdict, I shall be ending this fic in approximately two or three chapters, or maybe even the next chapter shall be the last. The reason is that I don't think I can stretch it anymore without it falling to pieces, therefore, I shall have to end it. Well, at least I think you will be pleased to hear (if you aren't already pleased, that is) that I have an ending prepared! Oh yes, I have the ending in my head! I talked it over with some friends, and after a while, we managed to decide on some random ending that hopefully won't disappoint too many people.
So, look forward to the next chapter, it may be the last! (Depending on what I write) Oh, and yes, I know this chapter was still rather short, don't rush me, I panic when I'm paranoid, and I'm paranoid when I panic. Either one, isn't that good.
PS. Next chapter will feature from Draco's POV (I think) and therefore, it shall be very OOC, sorry about that, just thought I might warn you. However, Hermione's POV will also be there (most of this fic is from Herms POV, next chapter shall be a mixture, that is what I am trying to say)
