Chapter 10:
"Yes 'Oh really'" Hermione said mocking his last comment.
"You sure do that a lot." Malfoy said as he sat down at the table wiping the fake blood off of his hand.
"Do what?"
"Mock me."
"Well, I hate you, so it seems only fare."
"Back to what we were saying. So you really think that you can beat me?"
"At what?"
"AT WHAT!!!" Malfoy said almost yelling. "Well at tricking the other, of course….I swear Granger for being such a book worm you can be so stupid sometimes."
Hermione glared at him before replying; "Yes, I think that I can. Say we make a bet, the first person to pull off a good enough prank, without revealing themselves. From now, until we get out of here (when ever that is), will win…o….25 Galleons." She said looking at him with a mischievous smile on her face.
Malfoy sat thinking for little while, deciding whether or not to take the bet. "The prank, can it be anything?"
"Yeah, cause I doubt there is much more we can do to pretend to hurt ourselves."
"Alright then Granger, I accept you bet." Malfoy said smirking, while holding out his hand for her to shake. Hermione took it, with a smirk plastered on her face as well. "But Granger, are you sure you have that kind of money?" he said, it sounded like he was almost joking.
Hermione was ready to scream at him. The hint of a joke was subtle in is voice and she missed it. But Hermione kept her cool. "Just because I am Muggle-born doesn't mean I don't have money Malfoy."
Both teens lay on their bed awaiting dinner and thinking of what they would do to win. Little did they know that planning an attack would lead to something completely different.
Hermione was wondering when dinner would arrive when her thoughts were interrupted by non other than the food appearing on the table. As she sat down Hermione caught Malfoy's eye. They held their gaze for a minute before looking away both thinking of how to make their plan work.
'I have to make it seem believable. He is so arrogant, he might actually go along with it.' Hermione thought helping herself to some steak.
'She is too smart to see that I would be bluffing. But ten galleons says once she if flattered I can pull it off.' Malfoy thought, taking a swig of pumpkin juice I seem to make him do that a lot, don't I?
'But it as to be gradual, he/she would become suspicious if it wasn't' They BOTH thought as they caught the others gaze once more.
"Pass, the pumpkin juice please,"
"Get it yourself," Malfoy said, looking down at his plate.
"You can be such an arse sometimes. The jug is out of my reach, and it is by you, so will you give it to me?"
"Ugh, fine. Here you go, Mudblood."
"So much for not calling me that and being civil."
Malfoy looked up from his plate at her, "Oh, right, um…s-well yeah. So, being civil. What do you think this place is?"
Hermione had been wondering that same question ever since they first arrived here. What was this place? "I don't know. It was weird how it is just here, in the middle of the forest. It almost reminds me of the Room of Requirements."
"The what?"
"It's a room up at the school. The door appears only when you need something. And when you enter, everything you need at that moment is there." Malfoy looked at her in a puzzling way.
"And you think this room is like it?"
"Well yeah. Think about it. Food appears out of no where. When I said it was cold the other night it suddenly got warmer. And the bathroom. This place has to know that we are here. This place is starting to creep me out."
"Yeah, me too."
"What!" Hermione said laughing as Malfoy stared at her. Hermione's voice changed from laughter to a deep voice mocking that of a man's, "The great Draco Malfoy is creped out?"
"Only beginning to be." At that Hermione started to laugh, again. "I am only human."
The rest of the meal I say that a lot too was spent with both Hermione and Malfoy perfecting their 'plans of attack". Neither one looking at the other.
Hermione got up and went to her bed. She lazily through herself on to he bed and missed.
"Ouch"
"Here…Granger" Malfoy managed to say in between laughs. He helped her up and set her on her bed.
"Thanks." They sat, staring at each other for quiet sometime. A thank you, from Granger? This might be easier than he thought. "Granger, have your eyes always been that brown.?"
"I guess so." She said as she sat staring into his cold, gray ones. She had a feeling he was going to help her up, but she didn't expect a compliment. This might be easier than he thought.
"Yes, I suppose so." Malfoy said as he laid down in his own bed and turned the other way, appearing to be in deep thought. Hermione stared at him before laying herself down and turning her back to Malfoy.
Both teens smiled at their success before falling asleep. This was going to be easier than they thought.
Author's Note: Yeah, another chapter. Hope you all like it. Got a better idea of the room? Good, I am glad.
Applescm: The shimmering stone is very, very important. [=)
More chapters to come soon, though I am not sure how soon. Hopefully I can get one in every day. We'll see! Taw, taw for now! [=)
