A/N Don't own, don't sue. Thanks!
Hermione went to the front and picked up their carrot while Draco sat fiddling with the bit of saggy plastic he held in his hands.
"This is disgusting! Its all slimy and floppy, what good could this do anyone!" Draco stared at the condom with something resembling annoyance. His mind was waiting for the small plastic thing he held to do something or say something, he wasn't used to muggle things, and had only just managed to scrape a pass into the class.
"I have our carrot" Hermione interrupted his train of thought and he looked at her then the carrot the back at her, puzzled.
"And you have a carrot because......? Hell this teacher is crazier than Trelawney!"
"It's to practice on" Hermione said calmly "have a go"
Draco picked the carrot out of Hermione's hands and made it levitate six inches in front of his face. His features sculpted into a stern look of sheer concentration and he sat like that for a few moments before saying,
"Er,..... Practice what?" Hermione let out a small chuckle as she realised that he didn't have a clue as to what he was expected to do.
"You have to roll the condom over the carrot, like you would in the muggle world before.......er......intercourse." she blushed slightly at the mention of the act of sex but she controlled herself and managed to look prim and very demure.
Draco fiddled with the plastic, loosing his grip a few times and nearly dropping it. His frustration showed as his cheeks began to glow dark red with anger. On his seventh attempt he managed to get the plastic tip over the top of the carrot.
"Now, you have to roll down the sides so it covers the...er...carrot. But there is one thing you need to know, you haven't done it quite right its..."
"Shuurp! I can work it out! It is right if I say it is right! All I have to do is roll it down? Shouldn't be too hard. I'm a Malfoy, we can do anything, and I can do this if any blummin' muggle can.." By the end of his sentence his words had slurred into an incomprehensible babble of self-righteousness.
Hermione watched with interest as he struggled with the condom, pulling at the edges and fighting to get it properly over the carrot. Draco's mumbling carried on, getting angrier and loader as the condom wasn't doing what he wanted until he suddenly stopped, eyes blazing and cheeks reddened.
"This is so STUPID! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM!!!" he shouted at the flopping plastic, which responded by promptly falling off the end of the carrot. Everyone in the class turned to look at Draco, wondering who had insulted his family honour this time.
Giggles began to arise as people realised that the object Draco was shouting at was just the condom. Lying in a still rolled up heap on their desk.
He sat back down grumbling in annoyance. He flicked the offending piece of latex towards Hermione and mumbled.
"youdoitifyou'resoclever! Bloodystupidflamingthing. Itsnotlikei'lleverneedthestupidthing.."
His mumbling continued and only paused for a moment when Hermione stated, in a cool collected voice,
"You had put it on inside out. It rolls down easily if you have it the right way." The carrot levitated towards her and stopped just in front of her face.
"bloodyinsidebloodyout. Neverhavethatbloodytroubleifitwasmagical.!" Draco continued to grumble as Hermione easily slipped the condom over the carrot and rolled it down.
She looked around, a few other pairs had managed it, Harry and Lavender, The tall dark boy from Ravenclaw and a pair of girls from Hufflepuff. She looked towards Neville, who had done surprisingly well in his muggle studies OWL. His carrot seemed to be charred at the bottom and the condom, although rolled completely down, had a large hole in it and seemed to ooze magic. Obviously the results of a hex used in desperation.
Hermione looked at Draco who sat arms folded and slouched in his chair.
"Do you want to have another go?"
"No! I'll try it again when I feel like it!" he was obviously annoyed at being shown up by the Mudblood again. How he hated her smug attitude and know-it-all disposition!
Hermione just giggled, which received a trade mark glare from Draco.
"Ok! Now, everybody take your carrot, and a condom each, and practice this in your pairs over the week, next week you will be tested on your dexterity." Professor Murphys voice silenced the mildly giggling class. The students were then free to leave and proceed to their next lesson.
Hermione stopped Draco just before he got up to leave.
"So... when do you want to meet to practice this?" Draco's eyes burned deep into Hermione's chocolate brown eyes.
"NEVER! I'll practice this myself! I refuse to be forced into working with a filthy Mudblood like you!"
And with that Draco left the room, crashing into a few smaller students on the way causing them to stumble and bump into each other. Hermione watched with humour as the arrogant youth left the room, robes billowing slightly behind him. She knew he would need her. It just depended how long he managed to ignore the fact that she would be of use. She just shrugged and made her way out of the classroom towards her next lesson. Advanced Potions.
A/N I know my chapters are short, but I just like to read and write smaller chapters so it doesn't confuse my brain too much! I tend to lose interest half way through long chapters, and I think I would turn to babble if left to write long chapters! Lol. Anyway thanks for all the reviews! I'm loving them! I do need more tho, just as encouragement, incentive to write and also criticism that can be used to help me!
Fankies!
Luv Shaded Rose.
