Chapter Four: The Plan

"Where the hell were you?" Draco screeched at Kerrie when she entered the castle hand in hand with Harry.

"Oh, we were just—."

"Shut up, Potter this doesn't involve you." Draco sneered. "Kerrie, what did he do to you? I've been looking everywhere for you! Why are you all wet? If my sister gets sick, I'll...I'm...I'm going to hex you till you can't recognize yourself! That'll teach you to mess with a Malfoy!"

"Draco, Draco! It's ok. We didn't do anything. We were practicing Quidditch. Please!" Kerrie muttered quickly when Draco took out his wand. "Please, Draco." Kerrie whined. But when Malfoy started to do a spell, she got mad.

"Rictosempra—!"

"Reducto!" Kerrie screamed just before the spell hit Harry. Now, Draco was on the floor. He had been thrown back form the force of the spell. He was in pain; you could tell by the way his eyes were slightly crossed. "I'm sorry, Draco." Kerrie said softly, "But you had it coming. You wouldn't listen to me. Now we have to go to bed."

With that Kerrie took Harry's hand and they went to Gryffindor Tower, leaving a pained Draco on the ground.

In the Common Room

"He's insane! He tried to kill me, I swear it!" Harry said a half an hour later to Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Kerrie.

"He did not—"

"You see why we don't talk to him, Kerrie?" Ron said.

"He is just trying to be a good brother and protect Kerrie," Hermione offered.

"You're defending him?!" Ron asked appalled.

"Yea, Herms. What's gotten into you? First you kiss Draco, now this?" Ginny added.

"Wait, wait! You kissed him?" Yours truly asked still having slight feelings for her.

"No, it was just...I didn't really...HE KISSED ME!"

"I'm going to so kill him!" Ron yelled, slamming his fist on the table. Some first years glanced their way.

"You will do nothing of the sort!" Hermione said quietly, turning red.

"Ron you need to stop yelling, people are looking" Harry explained in a whisper as a group of younger kids looked their way and pointed, whispering behind their hands.

"Grrr!" Ron crossed his arms and remained silent.

"Oh, I've got an idea!" Ginny said, crossing her legs naughtily. "Let's have Malfoy and Herms get together."

"WHAT!?" Screamed Harry, Ron, Kerrie, and Hermione together.

"Are you crazy??!" Ron yelled. "Why would you have them—?"

"Let me explain, Ron, and please stop screaming you guys, or we'll get told off" Ginny leaned forward and whispered "if Hermione and Malfoy get together, then he'll get off Kerrie and Harry's backs because he'll be too busy with Hermione to care."

She let this settle into their minds. Finally Harry broke into a huge smile "that's a wonderful idea" he took Kerrie's hand as Ginny smiled arrogantly.

Ron who has been unusually quiet finally said with a look of distaste on his face "why would Hermione even want to do that?"

"Oh, Hermione," Harry begged turning towards her, "will you do it for us? Please?"

"Yea, c'mon Herms. It'll get my bro off our backs so Harry won't have to worry. I...I mean so we, um, can have, um, private time." Kerrie said with a smile, after receiving dirty looks from Harry.

"Please?" Kerrie, Ginny, and Harry all said in unison. Ron just sat there scowling.

Hermione though about it. She had liked Draco for some time. This would be the perfect opportunity to spend time with him "I...err...fine." Hermione finally agreed, "What do I have to do?"

"You need to like, seduce him. It's not like you actually like him. You just need to make him think you do" Ginny explained looking excited that Hermione was going along with her plan. Hermione just smiled and laughed nervously, hoping no one would find out about her little crush.

"Hmmm," Kerrie said excitedly. "We just have to turn up your game." She started walking around Hermione, looking her up and down. "Let's get her a push-up bra, shorten her skirt, and...her hair...it needs some highlights."

"Oh, I've got an idea." Ginny said again in the same tone as before. They somehow managed magically put some honey colored highlights in her chestnut hair. Hermione looked up a charm to keep her hair strait.

The plan was moving full speed ahead.

The next morning she looked ravishing with a shorter skirt, a couple of buttons undone to show a tad bit of cleavage, so she wouldn't look like a whore. As she was walking to Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hermione noticed she was getting far more glances than she usually got, and she quite enjoyed it. But all of that went away when she saw Draco. In fact, she seemed to lose awareness of everything that was around her. She never realized how much she liked him till just now. She swallowed hard and sauntered towards him. Hermione ran over everything Kerrie taught her in her mind. She had to:

1. Get his attention (flirt) Play hard to get Get him agitated Set him up Turn him down

Though she didn't want to turn him down she knew she had to...at first. She was ready. "Take out your books, and turn to page 329." Snape had just walked in. "Take your seat Miss Granger." Hermione couldn't find a seat, (the gang did this on purpose) so she had to sit next to Malfoy. As Hermione took out her book, she noticed Draco checking her out.

She smirked "See something you like?" She said, agitated that it took a push-up bra to get her noticed.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't."

'Ok, I've got his attention,' she thought to herself. 'Now, hard to get.' "Well, maybe you should stop looking at things you can't afford."

"Who said I can't afford it, Granger?" They were both smiling. Man, he was hot! What should she do? She felt her cheeks go warm.

'Get him agitated,' she thought to herself. 'Hmmm...agitated.' He reached for her hand. This was it! "Back off Draco," she muttered. "Before I make you back off." 'No, no, no!' she thought as she shoved his hand. 'Wrong, too aggressive.'

But he was falling for it. "Is that a threat Granger?" Draco said with a smirk, but a little too loudly for Professor Snape walked over to them.

"Is there a problem here?"

"Could be." Hermione said, but turned bright red when she realized how that came out. She wasn't answering Snape, she was answering Draco. It just seemed like she was answering Snape.

Snape looked surprised "Detention for the both of you, and ten points from Gryffindor." Harry and Ron went to object, but Kerrie held up her hand to stop them. She liked what she was seeing; she just hoped Hermione saw it too. But from the look of her face, she did. Hermione and Draco were going to be alone in a room for several hours. Kerrie smiled to herself. Hermione had done well.

"Hey, Herms—."

"Yea, I know." Hermione sighed, once they left class. "Alone with Malfoy...for five hours..."

"I think this is a great idea," Kerrie said as they made their way towards the transfiguration room. "Which part of the plan are you on? Get him agitated?"

"Err, no. Set him up...I think." Hermione added frightened of what would come next. As much as she didn't want to do this she knew she had to.

"Great, this is perfect. We've gotta make sure you're not too naughty, but you've still got to seduce him. You must do it before he does. Or it'll ruin everything. Then you turn him down when you think its time."

Hermione sighed as they took their seats at the front of the classroom "ok..."

Seven o'clock came way sooner than Hermione had hoped. She started toward Professor Snape's office. It was going to be a long night. Draco and Snape were already there. "I'm glad you decided to join us, Miss Granger." She knew she was a few minutes early but blushed anyway and sat down. "You two will have to clean up my room. As you can see, my room needs a lot of attention. Frankly, and just between you and me, I'm glad you two got a detention. I can't seem to find the time to clean it...I'm taking your wands," They handed him their wands, though reluctantly; "now get to work you two!" And with that, he left.

Hermione stood and grabbed a bucket and rag from Snape's desk "come on. You have to clean to it's your fault we're here" she tossed him a rag and began scrubbing the tables.

They worked in silence for close to 3 hours before either of them spoke. Draco had just rubbed sweat off his head with the back of his hand and had smeared dirt across it. This caused Hermione to dissolve into a fit of giggles.

"What's your problem, Granger?" Draco spat tossing his rag into his bucket.

She tried to stifle her laughter but to no avail "it's just—you—got—dirt on your—forehead—"she clutched a stitch in her side and leaned on the desk for support.

He looked in the mirrored ceiling. Sure enough he did "shut it, Granger."

"Make me" she glared daggers at him, meanwhile inside her heart was beating feverishly.

He slowly made his way towards her. When he was an inch away he leaned his face towards hers, "Maybe I will."

She slowly met his eyes "and how will you do that?" She whispered placing her hands on her hips.

He placed a hand on her cheek and tilted her head "like this—"he kissed her hard on the lips.

So many things were going on inside Hermione's head...such as this is wonderful. I never imagined it would be like this. Things along that line. But then something made its way into her mind causing her to push away.

Draco looked shocked at the fact that she had pushed him away. "What's wrong?"

"We need to finish" she sounded upset. On the inside she felt she shouldn't have pushed him away. Maybe it was better she did...

"Ok" he pulled her to him and kissed her again.

This time she reacted quicker "NO!" she turned around and walked towards her bucket "I meant we need to finish cleaning!" As she bent over her bucket a tear leaked from her eye and rolled down her cheek into the dirty water. The things she did for her friends...

"Fine!" Draco growled and went back to work.

Soon it was twelve o'clock and into the dungeon strolled Professor Snape "a job well done, I see. 10 points to Slytherin" Hermione's mouth opened in shock. Snape just smirked at her, "you two are dismissed. Here are your wands" they took their wands and left the dungeon. In the entrance hall they were about to go their separate ways but Draco stopped Hermione "wait...!"

Hermione closed her eyes, swallowed, and turned slowly around after opening her eyes "what?"

"I felt something..." he took a step closer to her "you know—back there when I...kissed you..."

She looked away when he took her hand in his "please look at me...I think you felt it too..."

"I did" Hermione whispered. If you hadn't been listening closely you wouldn't have heard it.

She looked at him. He smiled and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Screw the plan. This was better! He slowly slid his hand up the back of her shirt. Hermione pulled away, her face flushed "no...she panted" Draco looked crestfallen "I mean...we can't do this here..."

Draco looked up and smiled. He took her hand and led her into a room just off of the entrance area.

Turns out it was an old staff room and there were fluffy couches everywhere. "Wow" Hermione murmured before Draco began kissing her again. More gently this time. He slowly led her backwards onto a sofa. She lay down and stared up at him. He could see the desire in her eyes "god you're gorgeous..."he said while unbuttoning her top all the way. She helped him get her out of it as well as the rest of her unwanted clothing. She was soon left with only her pink knickers..."please Draco...I need you"

He nodded and began undressing himself; soon he was naked in front of her. He sat of the edge of the couch. Hermione leaned up and kissed him hungrily.

"Are you ok with this?" he asked with concern. She was surprised he was serious.

She nodded; he kissed her again and slowly straddled her. He slid his hands down her body and removed her knickers. She sighed at his touch. They began caressing each other as if the world only contained the two of them.

Draco was just about to christen Hermione when from outside the room came: "Hermione? Hermione where are you it's after one! We're going to get into trouble." It was Kerrie.

Hermione sighed and got out from under Draco. In a wave of her wand she was dressed and clean "I'm sorry, Draco..." she did truly look sorry...with that she left.

Draco hung his head, dressed, and soon left as well.
