Hey, you people!!! Thanks for the reviews, even though they were only few. Once again, I am requesting everyone who reads this fanfic to please, please review and make me a happy author. So... now to the DracoHerm love scene (or so I call it)....

CHAPTER 3

Once they reached the Gryffindor dormitory, Draco scowled. "I'm just noticing something. Why isn't anyone calling me yet?" he complained.

Harry grinned for the first time since the incident with Myrtle. "Why, yes, Malfoy. How could we forget? Well, we simply saved you for the last. I'll go ask you, then," Harry said happily. "Tru---"

"Dare," Draco interrupted, smirking.

The Weasleys made gagging sounds. Harry's eyes gleamed. "Excellent!" he said. He racked his brains for a while, thinking of ways to make fun of Malfoy for the rest of his life.

Draco smirked. "Wake me up when Potter's finished thinking," he told everyone. The twins laughed. Harry ignored him. Just then, Ian idea flashed in his mind like a lightbulb.

"Alright, Malfoy. I have thought of something," he informed.

Draco turned to him. "Well?" he said.

Harry grinned. "Bring Hermione inside the bathroom with you, lock the door and..." he whispered something in his ear. Draco froze. He let out a silent screamed. Harry looked at him expectantly. He could see the horror creeping through Draco's face.

"Harry, what exactly did you tell him? And what does that have to do with me?" Hermione demanded. Harry's eyes twinkled.

"Look here. I am not going to go with –him- to the bathroom. How dare you include me as part of –his- dare!" Hermione said, a little nervous.

"Yes, you will be going with me," Draco finally said and dragged Hermione to the bathroom. As they reached the front door, with Hermione struggling, Draco paused and turned to Harry, glaring angrily. "You'll pay for this one, Potter. I really can't believe you," he said through gritted teeth and slammed the door.

"Uh-oh. He looked really mad. What exactly was his dare anyway?" Fred asked.

Harry smiled. "Don't worry. It was nothing. I just told him to kiss Hermione," he assured them.

Ron's mouth hung open. "Harry!!!" he protested. "Who knows what that bastard'll do to her!!!"

Parvati and Lavender sighed. "Oh, how I wish I'd be in her situation," Parvati said, sighing. Ron looked at the girls incredulously.

"Don't worry, Ron. Nothing's gonna happen to her. I know of a charm that can let us see through doors and rooms so we can see what's going on inside," Harry told him.

George grinned. "Wait, I'll get the camera", he said. When he came back, he saw them all crowded around the bathroom's door.

"Hey, did I miss something?" he asked.

Fred grinned. "Look."

The boys made some space for George to look. There enough, like an invisible barrier, they could see Hermione sitting on one of the benches of the bathroom, furious. Draco sat next to her, wearing an expression just like hers. Hermione sighed.

"I can't believe my own bestfriend would do this to me. Setting me up with the most self-centered, arrogant jerk and not to mention a stupid, bouncing ferret," she said in despair.

Draco's eyes flashed and to his anger, he accidentally hit the faucet and water started filling the tub. But he didn't care. "Watch your mouth, you mudblood," he said menacingly. "Or else..."

Hermione glared at him. "Or else what?" she demanded.

"Or else, I'll do this," he said and pushed Hermione inside the tub.

"Ahhh!!!!" she screamed as the cold water splashed her face, soaking her clothes in water. Draco laughed as he glanced at Hermione. She looked ready to kill.

"You ferret!!! I can't believe you!" she screeched. She shot daggers at him and pulled Draco inside the tub with her and he landed with a splash.

"You mudblood!!!" Draco exclaimed angrily, looking at his wet robes. He pounced on Hermione and she sank down to the bottom of the tub. Hermione could feel her face being pushed downwards, together with her whole body. She couldn't breathe anymore, she being a bad swimmer. Flailing her arms and kicking her legs, she managed to push Draco's heavy, muscular body away from her with all her might.

"Ouch!" Draco exclaimed as Hermione started throwing him stuff from shampoos to toilet papers and he did his best to dodge but it was too many. "How dare you!" he said with rage and strangled Hermione again.

Hermione looked at him for a moment as their eyes met. She could see Draco's wet blond hair was now hanging loosely on his forehead, instead of glued to his hair. She admitted he actually looked good.

Draco, on the other hand, was having a difficulty performing the dare for he couldn't take his eyes of the girl he is about to kiss. She looks so cute and pretty with her hair wet and her cherry red lips and chocolate brown eyes and ...he thought. Right, I'll do it now. And he leaned over and kissed Hermione tongue to tongue. As he did so, he no longer felt the cold water and instead felt the warmth of her body as he pressed his to hers. They kissed and the only sound they could hear is the dripping of the faucet.

As Hermione opened her eyes, she saw Draco's eyes were closed. He is kissing me, she thought. She felt his hand on her waist, and as if by alert, elbowed him in the ribs. Draco instantly drew away from Hermione as though he was electrified. Hermione went out of the bathtub rather shocked and grabbed a towel, Draco following suit. Then, the door swung open and in came Harry, Fred, George, Parvati, Lavender and a furious Ron.

"You creep!" Ron exclaimed.

"That was amazing, Malfoy," Fred said, grinning.

"Yeah. Totally cool. Kissing her in a bathtub with water as sound effects...no wonder our own dear Hermione gave in for it!" George added.

Hermione and Draco blushed. "How could-I thought you locked the door!" she told Draco.

Draco shrugged. "I did," he said.

Then Fred showed them a pin. "Oh, I see," Hermione said, almost forgetting the fact that the twins were an expert when it came to picking locks.

"So you actually saw the whole thing?" Draco asked, knowing the answer.

The others, except for Ron, grinned from ear to ear. "I take that as a yes," Hermione said quietly, her cheeks turning pink. They went out of the bathroom and after the two have changed into new robes to replace the wet ones, they sat on a circle near the fireplace, with Draco and Hermione not speaking to each other.

"So, shall we continue with the game?" Harry asked.

"Sure. That is, if these two lovebirds don't mind," George said, pointing at Hermione and Draco.

"Lovebirds?!" Draco burst, outraged. "Relax, Malfoy. I was just kidding," George said.

Draco cursed under his breath and stared at the window.

"Ehem. Malfoy, it's your turn," Harry reminded him.

"Fine. Weasel, truth or dare?" Draco asked.

"Dare?" The way Ron said it, it sounded like he wasn't sure.

Draco chortled. "What a miracle! Weasel chose dare?" he said, pretending to be shocked. Ron looked at Draco angrily.

"Now, now. About your dare...why don't you pay a little visit to our Potions master, eh? Convince him to go on a date with you," Draco said, smiling wickedly.

Ron's face clenched into an expression of total horror. "You're kidding!"

"I can't wait to see what Snape's reaction will be," Harry said anxiously.

"Yeah. Go on, Ron. You can do it," Lavender encouraged.

Ron sighed miserably. "Oh, alright," he said and they all went to Snape's room where they saw him busy checking test papers on his desk.

"Do it, Ron," Parvati urged.

"But he'll put me in detention!" Ron argued, glancing nervously at Snape.

"I don't care as long as you do the dare. Remember, you really have to," Draco reminded, smirking.

Ron swallowed. "O-ok," he whispered as he knocked on Snape's door while the others hid behind a large statue.

"Come in!" said Snape's cold voice.

Ron slowly made his way inside and said a nervous "Hello, professor." Snape stared at him coldly. "What now, Weasley?" he snapped.

Ron closed his eyes for a while and relaxed himself. But he just couldn't. "Could-could you go out on a date with me?" he asked. There. Finally he said it.

Snape almost exploded. His face was so frightening to look at. "What the hell are you talking about, Weasley?" he demanded.

"Please, professor...I really want to go out with you," Ron pleaded.

Snape looked at his now insane student. "Are you implying that you're gay?"

Ron shook his head. Even if Harry and his friends put him in a situation like this, he swore never to lose his pride. "No, sir! Of course not! In fact, I thought it was the opposite. I just found you so...attractive and pretty," he burst out.

Snape's face turned red. He looked like a volcano about to erupt. "I don't know what the devil you are talking about, Weasley!!! Just go away!!! And you have detention later this evening!" he barked.

"But—"

"GET OUT OR I'LL BASH YOUR MOUTH OFF!!!! AND 50 POINTS FROM GRIFFINDOR!!!!!"

And with that, Snape shut the door with a bang. Ron was so relieved it was over, although he was still so embarrassed. His friends went out of their hiding places and they were laughting their hearts out.

"Very..nice!!!!Hahaha!!!" Parvati said, laughing so loud.

"Did you seen Snape's face when Ron asked him out? He was furious! I should've took a picture of him," Fred added, laughing.

"You looked like a real gay, Weasel. Oh, sorry, I forgot. You are one," Draco said snickering.

"You should've said you wanted to marry him and be his husband! Let's see if he don't take 100 points from our house," Harry told him, gripping Ron's shoulder for support as he laughed.

"That's why they call Gryffindors brave," Lavender said.

"Now I have detention later!" Ron said angrily. "This is all your fault, ferret boy!"

Draco snickered. "Whatever, Weasel."

Hermione patted Ron on the back. "You really nailed that one, Ron. Nice..." she complimented. After all, Ron was against Draco's dare earlier.

Draco glared at Ron with jealousy as the two started talking all the way back to the common room.
