The Game Of Love
Chapter 4
Hermione yawned near the end of her last class. It was a Friday and the weekend was about to kick in. Most of the students were finding it difficult to keep it quiet. She glanced out the window. A perfectly sunny day. 'Why waste it?' thought Hermione.
She started to scribble down on some spare parchment and pocketed it. When class was over, she quickly went out. She went to the library and collected some books and went to the Great Hall for tea.
She sat down on the Gryffindor and looked up and down the Slytherin table. No Draco in sight. She sat and waited for a while. Then she saw he walk through, the walk that he made to look superior to anyone else. She glared at him. How she hated him was beyond words. She hated herself for getting into the mess.
She waited until he sat down and took out the letter. She folded it into the origami bird he had made of the letter the day before and waved her wand. It flew over the oblivious heads of the students who were already in the hall. It landed right in front of him.
He picked up the bird. He unfolded it and read:
Malfoy,
I wanted to move your tutor lesson to 4. Hopefully that's alright with you. I wanted to have the lesson outside, seeing as it's such a nice day, not that you'd notice. I'll see you at the lake. See you then.
H.G.
'Cold even in a letter,' he thought. He glanced up and she was waiting for his reply. He nodded at her and she smiled. She stood up from the table and walked out the Hall.
He decided he'd eat something quick, though his stomach growled from the lack of food. He took some of his homework, ready for the tutor lesson and checked his watch. 10 to 4. Good enough. He walked outside to the grounds. She was right, it was a nice day.
He walked to the lake. She was already there. She sat next to a large tree, with its branches all shaped into a mushroom which gave it a umbrella sort of look. Her eyes were closed and a book laid on the ground next to her. He walked to her. He sat down in front of her quietly, not wanting to wake her up. He gazed at her for a while. A stray strand of hair fell from behind her ear. She began to stir a little.
He waited for her to fully awake. Her eyes fluttered open, blinking a few times. She turned to look at him. It took her a while to register why he was there. "Oh, you're here. How long have you been waiting?" she asked. "Not too long I think. Shall we start?" She nodded. She reached into her bag and pulled out an apple. "Sadly, I've seen how you eat and how much you eat," she said with a disgusted tone, "I thought you'd be hungry." She threw the apple to him and he caught it with his hand.
He cautiously looked at the apple from every angle as if there'd be some sort of poison in it. She looked at him, thoroughly amused. "I haven't poisoned the apple, unlike Snow White's apple." He looked at her with a questioning look. She laughed. "It's a muggle story. You know, with a prince and everything to save the day. Snow White takes an oblivious bite into a poisonous apple andonly her Prince Charming's kiss can wake her up."
He looked at the apple and slowly put it down. This only made her laugh more. She took it and took a bite. "See," she said with her mouth full, "Nothing to worry about." She offered the apple back to him. He took it, and took a wary bite. The juicy tasted sweet in his mouth. "Cheers Granger," he said. He pulled out his books and homework, ready to study. She grabbed her books from her bag and clapped her hands. "So, where do we begin?"
Surprisingly, their tutor lesson went well. There were no complaints, no outbursts of rage, and no arguments of any sort. Strangely though, she knew something that he didn't know she knew. It was almost the end of the hour and she was just reading him a paragraph of the history text book. When she read she was oblivious to the things around her. When she finished the paragraph, she looked up and saw Draco laying in the grass on his back, snoozing. She felt offended. She wasn't as boring as Professor Binns was she?
She moved so she sat right in front of him. She pocked him with her finger on his chest. No response. She did it again, a little harder. He turned his body away from her. She gently held his shoulder and shook it gently. "Draco, Draco!" she said, louder each time. He was still asleep! He just shooed her away with his hands. She resorted to her last option.
She drew out her wand and took a deep breath, hoping he wouldn't kill her for this. She pointed her wand at him and muttered a spell. Water shot from the end of her wand. It splashed onto his face. He woke up with a jerk and a totally surprised look on his face. She bursted out laughing and rolled in the grass, clutching her stomach, afraid it'd burst too. He looked at her and then knew what had happened. He glared at her and slowly, she sat up with tears in her eyes.
"I don't believe I ordered a wake up call Granger," he said. His face was still a little wet, but his jumper was very damp. She laughed. "Well that's you get for falling asleep because you thought I was boring." He narrowed his eyes. "If you really must know, I didn't find you boring, I found ....... That you're voice was pleasant." He finished hastily. His response shocked her. She was unsure what her reply should be.
"Uhhh... well, the lesson's finished. let's get back," she said quietly. He nodded and they grabbed their books and bags and left towards the castle. As they walked up, she said, "You really are a heavy sleeper," and burst out in a fit of giggles as he grumbled something inaudiable back at her.
A/n: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I need a few more ideas for the future chapters, so what I'm asking is a little help or idea in the reviews please! And if you have a flame, please be a little nice! Thankyou to my reviewers!!!
