A/N: Here's chappie 2! Hopefully I'm doing alright so far with this story. I'm still trying to collect all my ideas on how to get these 2 together. I'll update as soon as I can!
Disclaimer: I again do not own any Harry Potter characters. If I did, Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, and Rupert Grint would be locked in my house…::wink wink::
Chapter 2: A Scheduled Date
Gasps had filled the air as Draco and Ron shook hands. Harry just rolled his eyes and covered his face with his hands. Hermione's gonna kill him…
Hermione still didn't know what was going on around her. It wasn't until Ginny had interrupted her from her book that she was aware.
"HE WHAT???" Hermione's eyes were wide with shock. Ginny grabbed her arm and led her to the table where Ron and Draco were in the middle of the match. Draco's queen had just taken Ron's knight.
"Check." He said smugly looking at Ron. His eyes then fell on Hermione who still looked like she was in shock. Draco then gave her a wink. Those bastards…she thought as she gave Draco a disgusted look. Hermione couldn't take watching the game anymore. Without a word, she ran out the Great Hall into the Gryffindor common room.
"Hermione!" Ginny called out desperately. Ron suddenly looked up from the game.
"Hermione??" he said looking at the crowd's faces, but not finding her anywhere.
"Ahem. It's your move." Draco drawled, his eyes never leaving the board. Ron took one last look around concentrated on the game again.
Goddamn them all! Who do they think they are? Treating me like this? Hermione was in her room hugging a pillow tightly. She was on the verge of tears. None of her roommates were there to give her comfort thought. They were all watching the game. She contemplated the whole situation for about half an hour when Ginny burst through her door, interrupting her thoughts.
"Well??"
Ginny looked anxious and started stuttering. "Um…well…see…Dra-uh…and Ron…they…ok they um…"
"Ginny…just tell me who won the game." Hermione said firmly. Ginny sighed.
"Malfoy."
The trio were in the library studying for their Transfiguration exam coming up. It was just 2 nights ago that Draco had won the chess game, and Hermione hadn't said one word to Ron yet. Though she did throw him defiant stares once in a while, Ron eventually caught on.
He took notes in his parchment while occasionally looking up at Hermione. He couldn't believe how gullible he was. Draco played his weakness very well. And now he didn't only lose his money…but possibly the most important person in his life, besides Harry.
Harry had tried to play peacemaker, but Hermione didn't even want to say Ron's name. She refused to acknowledge him. She treated him as if he were invisible. Harry ultimately gave up. He understood why Hermione was upset. Who wouldn't be upset about? Right now Hermione needed to know that at least one of her best friends was on her side. And Harry was going to be there for her in her time of need.
"Harry can I have another piece of parchment?"
"Hermione I have another piece…" Ron started, taking it out. But Harry did it first.
"Thanks Harry." She then continued working. Ron gave Harry a pleading look, but Harry just shrugged and both sustained working.
Lunch began in the Great Hall. Ginny and Ron were talking while Harry and Hermione were wondering what they should do for a class project. They were to create their own potion.
"I don't really know what to do 'Mione! You're the expert!"
"Harry, we're supposed to be working together!"
"I am working!"
"On what?!"
"On……on thinking of what potion we should make." Harry replied as his voice trailed off. Screeches of owls echoed, interrupting Hermione's comeback. She looked up to find a familiar owl swooping by dropping off a small envelope. It was labeled 'Hermione Granger'. She opened it, curious of who sent it. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were too preoccupied reading the letters they got. Her eyes narrowed angrily as she read the words:
'Granger,
Well well. Looks like the Weasel king can't even beat yours truly in a simple game of chess. I'm guessing you already knew the terms? But in case you didn't, you're mines for one night, and Weasley has already agreed. I've observed that you 2 haven't been talking? That wouldn't have anything to do with little old me, would it? Nonetheless, I'll meet you at the bottom of the staircases at 11:00 pm tomorrow night. And don't fret, breaking the rules to go on a date with me is definitely worthwhile. Until next time…
-Malfoy'
"ARG!" Hermione let out a loud frustrated growl. Then she crumpled up the letter and threw it down on the table. A couple of heads turned her way, but she disregarded them.
Her sudden outburst caught the attention of Draco. He looked up from his half-eaten lunch to watch Hermione stomp out of the Great Hall.
Poor Granger. Must've gotten my letter. He thought smirking to himself. He loved all the chaos he was causing. Having one whole night to annoy the hell out of the Gryffindor mudblood made his day bright. Possibly breaking up the Golden Trio made his day even brighter.
