"You did what?" Lavender flopped onto Hermione's bed.
"I kissed Malfoy,"
"You kissed him on the lips?" Lavender practically yelled. Victoria looked up from Witches Weekly.
"Who kissed who?" asked Victoria.
"Hermione kissed Malfoy!" Lavender clasped her hand over her mouth after she realized what she had done. Hermione glared at the two.
"Why?" Victoria sat up on her bed.
"Forget it," Hermione headed towards to the bathroom to get ready for class. She stared at herself and realized she needed to pick up some blemish potion from Madam Pomfrey. She looked at her hair. It had changed since she first entered Hogwarts. Sure, she had cut it (shoulder-length) and attempted to straighten it but it actually looked pretty nice. She pulled it back with a clasp and quickly brushed her teeth before heading down to potions.
She was a little late and of course with Snape points were deducted. Hermione looked around the room and painfully realized that the only available seating was next to Harry. She rolled her eyes and sat down as far away as she could from him. Ron turned around and looked at her sympathetically. She smiled and turned towards the board. They were working on a love potion for the Valentine's Day dance.
Hermione got the cauldron while Harry retrieved the ingredients. She dropped the cauldron near their seat and waited for him to come back. Harry plopped down and set the ingredients on the table. They worked silently, only talking when they needed to. Hermione added the essence of loveroot and stirred it. They waited for the potion to settle before spooning it into two flasks. Snape came by and collected the flasks and told them to clean out the cauldron. Hermione poured the cauldron rinse inside and Harry emptied it.
Hermione joined Ron's group and Harry joined Victoria's group.
Lavender leaned over Ron and asked her "How did it go?"
"Fine, we really didn't talk," Lavender nodded and leaned back over. Ron patted Hermione's hand reassuringly and went back to the potion.
Later, at dinner, Lavender and Parvati were trying to predict what would happen with Hermione and Draco's relationship. Everybody in the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses learned about the kiss, including Harry. Over on the other side of the table, Harry was trying to restrain himself from hexing Malfoy. But heart won and he turned Draco's hair blue. Everybody at the Slytherin table sniggered when they saw their head boy. But, unfortunately Snape noticed and deducted 200 points from Gryffindor. Everybody at the Gryffindor glared at Harry and Snape. Hermione frowned, muttered the counter-curse, and left with Lavender and Parvati in tow.
"Okay, okay, you are going marry Draco"
"Have three kids"
"Become an auror"
"And defeat Voldemort,"
Lavender and Parvati each finished and looked at Hermione. She gaped at both of them and started to laugh. They were serious.
"Hermi, you know Parv has seer blood," Hermione stopped and pondered what Lavender had just said.
"But what about the prophecy?"
"What prophecy?" Lavender and Parvati asked simultaneously.
Hermione realized that they didn't know. "Forget it," Ginny came to the fireplace and sat down.
"Hey, you guys," Ginny grinned at the trio.
"Hey Ginny!" the others said with mock enthusiasm.
"Oh, shush or I will curse you all,"
Ginny pulled out her potions homework and chewed on her quill. "You guys, what are the properties of frog's breath?"
Hermione answered immediately and Ginny thanked her before turning back to the parchment. Lavender and Parvati froze, looking at Hermione.
"What?" They pointed behind Hermione.
"Um, can I talk to you?" Draco ran his hand through his hair.
"Yes, you guys hopefully I'll come back soon," Hermione got up and followed Draco out of the portrait hole and in the direction of the kitchen. They stopped and he turned around.
"Okay, it's obvious that you like me and who could blame you?" Hermione rolled her eyes and waited.
"So, since you like me and you're not too bad for a mud... muggleborn we should be friends," He held out his hand. She thought for a second before shaking his hand. Draco smiled at her and let her think about what she had done. Shrugging, Hermione headed back towards Gryffindor's portrait hole but not before grabbing a strawberry pastry.
"Tell us everything!" Parvati squealed.
"Okay, we're friends now,"
"Friends with Malfoy?" Ginny, Lavender, and Parvati all looked shocked. "How, why?" Hermione put up a finger to silence them before continuing. "He has the silly impression that I like him and now he wants to be friends,"
"But he's always been mean to you, why now?" Lavender interjected.
Hermione shrugged, "I really don't know,"
A/N: I think things are starting to pick up. I'll try to update as soon as possible but please don't get mad if I don't do it that quickly. Reviews are very appreciated!!!!!
