The Game Of Love
Chapter 3
He walked out of the Slytherin Common thoroughly refreshed. He walked into the Great Hall and sat down ready for breakfast. He got straight into it and started to pile his plate with food. He was soon joined by Blaise. Blaise slowly sat down beside him, watching him eat in disgust.
"For the love of God, please, stop eating like that," said Blaise. "He looked up from his plate. "I'm hungry," he said with a shrug. He put another mouthful in. "Well, if you got out with any girl, do not take her to a All You Can Eat Buffet." Draco grinned, "Advice taken." He took a drink of Pumpkin juice and rested it back on the table. He searched the Great Hall for Granger. No sign of her. He mentally shrugged. "Hey, what do we have next?" he asked. "Ah.... Charms I think."
"Ah shit, I brought my Transfiguration books," said Draco. He stood up to walk back to his room to collect the right books. He walked to the door and was about to open it when someone on the other side did. Their face was buried in their book and didn't see him. The person bumped right into his chest, considering that they were shorter than him.
The person clutched their head. "Whoa, sorry," said the person, finally peeling their eyes from their book. It was Granger. Her eyes narrowed as soon as she saw him.
"On second thought, I take that back," she said. She had to look up at him slightly. He looked down at her. "I think I deserve that apology," he said. "Pfffttt. If it was someone else I wouldn't have taken it back," she said. She moved to walk around him but he blocked her way. She side-stepped to try and walk around again but he blocked her. He had an amused smirk on his face that made her furious.
"What is your aim? To piss me off? But what ever it is, play it on someone else." "I was just wondering if..." he started to say, "um....ah... If you could give me some tutoring lessons." She raised an eyebrow. Why the hell was he coming to her for? She stood there, still cocking an eyebrow. "Well?" he asked. "Um... I'll have to ...think about... it," she said slowly, still processing that he asked to help him. He shrugged, "That is if you can," he said, "I'll need just an hour of help with homework and that's it." "I'd hate to admit it, but you're already at the top of the class," she said. "Oh, thank- you for saying that," he said with a smirk. She gritted her teeth. "Ah...Well," he continued, "My scores are dropping so... I just need some help. How about it?"
She thought for a moment. "Maybe, only if you promise not to scare me anymore and not to annoy me anymore, okay?" she said. "Deal Granger," he said. "Promise?" "Promise." They shook hands. "I'll tell you when I have time, alright?" she said. He nodded. He walked past her and off around the corner.
She stood there for a while, then suddenly realised what she had just done. She banged her head softly on the large wooden door in front of her. She had just made a deal with the bloody devil!?
When he got around the corner, he sighed with relief. 'That was some quick thinking, if I do say so myself,' he thought to himself. He had made the whole thing up, just trying to talk to her. He hadn't really needed help on anything. Though the good side of it was he might be able to finish his potions essay that still was on his desk, untouched.
He walked into the room and collected the right books and left. He net up with his Slytherin group and headed towards the classroom.
That afternoon, at tea, he wanted to find out if she had agreed to tutor him. He scribbled on a bit of parchment and folded it into a little origami bird. In the Great Hall, after he sat down, he made the bird fly over to Hermione. She, as usual, had her nose in another book. The bird flapped all the way to her and plonked itself on her book.
She putted her book down and picked up the bird. She looked around the Great Hall. Her eyes caught his. He could see her sigh, then making sure no- one was looking, she unfolded the bird and read the piece of parchment. He had written:
Granger,
Have you decided if you'll tutor me or not? I haven't got all my school year you know! Hurry up and reply back.
D.M.
He saw her rummaged through her bag and took out a quill. She dipped it in ink and started to scribble down on the parchment, then folding it back to a bird. She gave her wand a wave and the bird started to fly again. He placed his hand out for the bird to land on. Perfect landing.
He opened it and read it. It read:
Malfoy,
I'll agree to tutor you, but you know the conditions. For one hour at 8 o'clock tomorrow. See you then.
H.G.
'Perfect,' he thought. He scrunched up the note and looked at her. She was already looking at him. He nodded in agreement. She then turned back to her book.
A/N: Another chapter done. Thank-you to my reviewers! I hope this story is a bit better then my 1st story! Bye Bye 4 now.
