Chapter Four: You're begining to sound like a Slytherin.
It was Monday, the afficial day Draco and Hermione were going out. They went to breakfast together, hand in hand, Hermione felt unclean, She needed to take a shower. . . like that was going to happen before supper. He was going to walk her to every class they had together.
Then when they walked in together she saw Ron's face, she couldn't bear to look at him. She turned her head and saw Draco's expression, it made her sick. He had this look of complete and total supiority and satisfaction, it looked like he'd never smiled before in his life!
"Draco, please stop smiling like that," she whispered in his ear through gritted teeth, then to make it look like she hadn't she kissed him on the cheek.
Draco walked her to the Gryfindor table, as she sat down Ron grabbed Draco's arm pointed his wand at him and muttered,
"Draco what do you have on Hermione, because blackmail's the only reason she would go out with trash like you." Draco just smirked.
"Well, from what I heard she went out with trash all summer."
"If I were you I would not be insulting my arch enemy, especially if his wand was pointed at my chest."
"Well your worst enemy can actually use a wand. Don't think I dont' remember the 'slug' insident." Everyone on the Slytherin table quickly turned around and did a crude imitation of Ron barfing slugs.
"Ron! Lower your wand and leave my boyfriend alone or I will be forced to take points from Gryffindor. Really Ron I would expect you to be more mature." Ron quickly lowered his wand and turned around.
"I will see you after breakfast, sexy." Hermione said sweetly, the corners of her mouth twitched before she beamed her best smile at Draco. "See you then, Sweetheart" He smiled back, blew her a kiss, and went to sit at the Slytherin table.
"What the bloody hell was that all about?!?!?!?! Tell me you are just playing around. . . you're not really going out with him, are you?"
"I said he was my boyfriend, Ron, I don't lie." Hermione seemed hurt."Well I will see you guys in potions class, Draco is walking me there."
'This's perfectly rediclous they couldn't Possibly be going out. . . she Hates him! well they have been spending alot of time together I mean with prefect activities and having to share a common room and a dorm. . .wait a minute that's means she has to sleep in his room EVERY NIGHT! That sick little snake if he has even tried to touch her he's dead. OMG he could've used any curse on her. He probably has her under a confusion curse or somthing, that's what!' With this thought Ron got a grusomely worried look on his face.
She walked out of the hall to wait for him.
"So I am sexy, am I?" Hermione turned around, she had not expected him to come for another five minutes.
"Only in front of the school. . ." She retorted. Draco tried to ignore that last remark and held out his arm.
"Shall we go?" Hermione reluctantly took his hand and they began to walk. She spent as much time as she could with Draco that day and after supper escorted herslf to the prefects bathroom to take a bath. She felt dirty, but hey that was her fault. All well, she was getting used to the idea of her going out with Draco. . . kind of. She took her bath and went to the common room to relax.
She looked down at her watch and realized it was past midnight. She looked around the empty common room and began to cry. She thought she'd gottened used to the whole dating thing but she was wrong, dead wrong.
'What have I gotten myself into, when I signed up for making Ron jelious I didn't mean for it to go this far. I KISSED MY WORST ENEMY! And for what, Revenge. I just don't know if it's worth it. Hermione, you know you had to, he. . . wouldn't be avaliable if I had just yelled at him but not destroyed him, it's my fault. You know if he goes out with someone else you'll regret leaving his side.'
"Don't be redictulious Granger, he left you didn't push him away." she had reasured herself, for the time being. Draco came in after doing one last round in the doungen,
"Hey Granger, I had to do your job, where were you? Well just don't do it again. You owe me one." She turned around and her eyes met his, it was obvious she had been crying. They were the clearest and whitest eyes Draco'd ever seen.
"Whoa, what happened are you okay?" He was being really nice and it kinda scared him, but he felt he'd probably been the one to make her cry so he had to do something.
"Yeah, whatever." She looked away toward the fireplace and faked a grin for two seconds.
"I'll be upstairs if you want to talk, but remember, the Weasels not worth it." He took leaping steps up the winding staircase and to his bed. He didn't know what gotten into himself, but whatever it was he now regeted it.
Draco woke up in the middle of the night. He drew open the certains and looked over at his 'girlfriend'. He quietly pounced from his bed onto the floor, and crawled over to her bed. he began to draw back the certains, his heart pounding, but they were stuck. He tried to pull them apart. He had to talk to Granger about what they'd do now.
The certains suddenly separated and Hermone's eyes shined through the crevice.
"And just what do you think you're doing?" She continued to to cross her arms and raise her eye brows at him. "Ron warned me you might try this that's why only I can open my certains." She stared out the window. "He really is sweet. You know despight what people think your not all evil. you're more like the sky, black with little speaks of white. Mostly evil but not completely. If you had been you wouldn't have swollowed your pride and helped me." She looked into his silver eyes and smiled. Then she drew the certains shut and laid back down to sleep.
Draco was confused and. . . well, confused, slightly angry too. What had Ron thought he would do. then he heard from behind the certains,
"You don't have to stand guard you know, I can take care of myself, go to sleep Draco." Draco, for the first time in his life was embaraced so he scampered off to his four-poster and went to sleep.
The week passed as quickly as ever, and the school had gotten somewhat used to the thought of Hermione and Draco going out. It was the day of the ball and the Prefects had some last minute planning to do, and little did the know so did Hermione and Draco.
It took two hours for the girls to get ready, Cho was wearing a red and black chinese style dress with her hair up in a bun held up by chop sticks. Hermione was not dressing up all that much, she was in a flattering strapless black dress that's skirt flared out slightly and came to her knees. Her hair was done up in a bun but two ringlets of hair hanging by her eyes.
The guys took five minutes to get ready not that anybody cared. Justin wore black dress robes. And Draco wore dark emerald dress robes with silver trimming. Draco was sitting, not very patiently, for his date. Hermione started down the stairs with Cho. Both the boys' jaws dropped at the site of their dates. And the usually arrogant Draco turned into a almost perfect gentleman.
Five minutes later the two couples entered the great hall, hand in hand. Hermione couldn't help but notice Ron, who was with Lavender, blushing as she entered. All the prefects went to a table and sat down with their new friends for the year.
Draco and Hermione danced the first few dances, they sat out the next dance and waited for some slower songs. when one began to play Draco asked Hermione to dance, she accepted. As they stepped onto the dance floor he slipped his arm around her waist and brought her into a tight embrace. She placed her head upon his shoulder and they began to dance.
'Gosh, she's pretty, I never saw her as pretty before but I never really got to know her before either. . . she is not as bad as she seems when you first meet her. . . but even if I did start to devolp. . . well, you know, it would never work out. These things only work out in muggle stories.' Draco thought as he saw Ron glaring at them, wishing he was in Draco's place. Well if there was any a time to hurt Ron now was it. Draco brought hermione into a deep kiss and the entire school looked at them in shock and horror. Draco even thought he saw Pansy in the crowd crying. Then Draco stopped he'd relized something. Mione hadn't even tried to stop him! The song ended shortly after that and Hermione asked to leave.
"Do you want to go to the garden? It would be a nice place to rest and talk. . . if you don't have any objections that is." Draco spoke almost romantically. "Well do you or don't you?" He said a bit more harsh.
"I do." 'Damn! that stupid wording of mine again! only this time I have an AUDIENCE! Great this's just perfect.'
"I think you're begining to like me Granger," Draco remarked with a smirk.
"No I Don't! it's just buiness. a means to an end." she replied indifferently.
"If you ask me, you're begining to sound like a Slytherin, so cold, and calculating." he touched her cheek and Hermione's eyes widened pupils turning into such slits you had to squint to see them. she pushed away his hand.
"Yeah, well, I didn't ask!"
