C-E-F-Y
Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
As Ron spun her around Larissa began to look for Hermione.
She finally spotted her in Malfoy's arms.
Hermione then noticed Larissa looking in her direction. She smiled knowingly and Larissa blushed with her arms still around Ron.
Larissa then decided to tease Hermione as well.
She winked at her and Hermione blushed as well with her arms around Draco.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…Their dates decided to turn them at that moment and Marlaina finally saw the face of the girl her brother was dancing with.
She smiled as she saw Draco dancing very close with her. She looked at his face but he was looking over at Pansy who was glaring at him from behind her date Carnigan.
Marlaina sighed.
"Why can't he just enjoy himself?" Marlaina thought.
She sighed as she looked at the other teachers who were chatting away.
The song changed into a fast song and the couples broke apart.
"Do you want a drink?" Ron asked.
Larissa nodded.
"Thanks Ron." She said with a smile.
He smiled also as he went to the punch bowl.
She looked over to Hermione once Ron was out of sight and found her alone.
"Where's your hott date?" Larissa teased.
Hermione blushed.
"He's getting me a drink." Hermione answered.
"Ron?" She asked.
"Drink." Larissa answered.
"How are you doing?" Larissa asked.
"Good, we only ran into Pansy once." Hermione explained.
Larissa nodded.
"I'd watch yourself though. She'll be back." Larissa said.
Hermione nodded.
"Thanks." She said.
"I'll talk to you later." Larissa said noticing her date coming back.
"Wait, when does the potion wear off?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know actually." Larissa said sheepishly.
"WHAT?!" Hermione yelled.
She then lowered her voice to a whisper.
"You don't…" Before she could finish Ron came over with a drink for Larissa.
"Here you go Hermione." Ron said giving her the drink.
Hermione turned around to make it look as though she wasn't standing with Larissa.
"There you are." A voice said.
She turned and found Malfoy with a drink.
"Thanks." She said taking the cup and drinking it all in one gulp.
"Thirsty?" He asked with a smirk.
She nodded.
"Something like that." She said.
They walked away and Hermione looked back to Larissa but she was already gone.
She turned back to Malfoy.
"It's getting hot in here. Do you want to go out on the balcony?" Hermione asked.
Malfoy shrugged.
They walked out and Hermione looked over the side trying to think.
"When does the potion wear off? Why didn't I read it more carefully?! It could go any minute and I might not even know!" She screamed inside her head.
"Are you alright?" Malfoy asked standing next to her.
She nodded.
"I will be. I just need some fresh air." Hermione said.
Malfoy nodded as he looked at the sky.
Hermione noticed how calm he was and actually found it hard to believe he was the guy who had tormented her all these years.
When she came out of her thoughts she noticed he was looking at her with his head slightly tilted and a confused expression on his face.
"What?" Hermione asked turning away.
"I was just wondering what you were thinking." Malfoy said turning away.
"Oh." She said looking at the stars as well.
Malfoy heard the music and turned to Hermione.
"Would you care to dance again Devon?" Malfoy said giving her a true smile as he held out his hand in a gentlemenly fashion.
Hermione nodded with a smile.
"Who cares if I change back. I might as well make this night worth remembering." She thought as she smiled as well.
Harry and Ginny had been dancing to every song that came on. They finally took a seat next to Hermione and Ron.
They were laughing and having a great time and Harry and Ginny were happy for them.
Hermione and Ron didn't even notice when Harry and Ginny sat down. They were too far in their own little world.
"Well, you guys are hitting it off." Ginny pointed out.
"Well, I never knew Hermione would have such a great sense of humor." Ron said with a smile.
Larissa gave a nervous smile.
"Me either." She said as she looked away.
"Would you like to dance again?" Ron asked.
Larissa nodded.
"Sure." She said leaving the table.
When they left Ginny turned to Harry.
"Do you think it's weird how Hermione is acting?" Ginny asked.
"She is acting a little odd, but maybe she's starting to like Ron." Harry said with a shrug.
Ginny shrugged also as she looked at Harry.
"Uh, Gin, I've been wanting to ask you…would you be my girlfriend?" Harry was staring at the table until he had finished.
He glanced up at Ginny she was grinning as she leaned over and gave him a kiss.
Malfoy brought Hermione onto the dancefloor and put his arms around her again.
"I think we're doing ok. Carnigan and Parkinson haven't come near us." Malfoy whispered.
Hermione nodded.
"Larissa must have told him about Carnigan just so he'd take her to the dance." She thought.
"I'm actually having a good time with you Malfoy." Hermione said.
Malfoy pulled back to look at her surprised.
"Really?" He asked.
"You seem surprised." Hermione said with a playful smile.
"Well, um…I'm not." He said pulling her closer again.
"Malfoy, you can't hide your feelings from everyone you know. You have to have some friends." Hermione said.
"We've already talked about this." He said.
Hermione bit her lip.
"We have?" She asked.
"Don't you remember? In the hospital. How noone came to see me." Malfoy said getting slightly upset at the memory.
"Oh, right. Well, I-I'm your friend." Hermione said softly.
Malfoy again leaned back to look at her.
"You?" He asked.
"Well, yes." Hermione answered.
"Why?" He asked dumbfounded.
Hermione stared at him a moment before looking around to see all of the dancing couples.
She took his hand and brought him back to the balcony. When she stopped she turned around to face him.
"Even though you are a Malfoy, you really don't act that bad around your own house." Hermione began.
"Now you sound like my sister." Malfoy said rolling his eyes.
Hermione gave a confused look.
"Sister? You have a sister?" She asked.
Malfoy turned back to her quickly.
"No." He said just as fast.
Hermione gave him a stare.
"Yes you do. You just said it." She pointed out.
Malfoy sighed.
"Why are you ashamed? Having a sister can't be that bad. I've always wanted one." Hermione said.
Now Malfoy looked at her questioningly.
"You have three sisters Devon." He said confused.
Hermione laughed nervously.
"Right, um…I just haven't um…seen them for awhile…yea that's all." She said giving him a fake smile.
Malfoy gave her a confused look.
"Whatever Devon." He said.
"Listen…" Hermione stopped to think.
She thought back to the hospital. Marlaina smiled and nodded.
"You'd need more than a few bruises to stop…" She paused.
"Mr. Malfoy." She finished.
Hermione continued to think back.
"YOU'RE ON DRACO!" She laughed chasing after him.
Draco went faster.
"You'll never catch me Mar!" Everything seemed to be falling into place.
"She looks familiar." Ron said thoughtfully.
"She's the woman that ran into me on the train." Hermione said.
"But, that's not why she was familiar. The blond hair, why didn't I see it before?" Hermione thought.
She looked up at Malfoy.
"Marlaina, she's your sister." Hermione said surprised.
Malfoy's eyes became wide.
Ron and Larissa continued to dance and have a great time.
Ron took her hand at the end of one of the songs and took her to a balcony. He sat on the side still holding her hand.
"What's changed about you?" He asked.
"What?! What do you mean changed?" She asked quickly.
"I just mean, well, I usually think of you more like…well, like a sister, but tonight I can't help but see you as a beautiful girl." He said with a blush as he looked into her eyes.
Larissa looked surprised but then smiled.
"I've seen you as more than a brother for awhile Ron." Larissa confessed.
"Really? How come you never told me?" Ron asked taking her other hand.
"We couldn't…I was a Sly…" She stopped.
"I-I was afraid we'd ruin our friendship." Larissa said.
Ron smiled.
"I doubt that would ever happen. After tonight. I feel like a new Ron Weasley." He said.
Larissa laughed.
"Ron, no matter what happens…will-will you always remember tonight. I mean, the fun we've had…laughing and dancing?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
"Of course Hermione." Ron said getting down from the railing to look her in the eyes.
He gave her a half smile as she pushed back the tears.
Ron leaned closer to her and finally their lips met.
Larissa slowly wrapped her arms around his neck not wanting to loose him.
Malfoy stood completely shocked.
"How'd you figure it out? You've never even talked to my sister." Malfoy asked.
"Of course I've talked to her. She's…" Hermione stopped.
"She's a teacher." Hermione said quickly.
Malfoy sighed.
"I guess I should've seen it coming." He said.
"Why are you so ashamed of her? She's amazing. She's traveled…" Hermione began.
"To Africa before finishing here. I know." Draco said boredly.
"Aren't you proud of her?" Hermione asked.
"Of course I am…there's just no place for a woman in the Malfoy family." Draco explained.
"Oh." Hermione said angrily.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's the same with you and you know it." Draco said crossing his arms.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"Don't play dumb Devon. You're family needs an heir like mine does. You're brother will be the one to take all the money and power while your father tries to marry you off to wealthy men." Draco explained.
Hermione stood there shocked.
"No wonder Larissa wanted to switch places. She loves Ron and he's the farthest thing from wealthy." Hermione thought.
She narrowed her eyes at noone in particular.
"She never intented on switching back!" Hermione thought angrily.
"Devon?" Malfoy asked slightly worried.
"She set me up!" Hermione yelled angrily.
She stormed into the Great Hall to look for Larissa.
Malfoy followed her confusedly.
"What are you talking about?" He asked after grabbing her upper arm.
"That witch tricked me! I don't have time to explain! Find Lar…Hermione!" Hermione said angrily.
"Granger? What do you want her for?" Malfoy asked with discust.
Hermione got out of his grip.
"Oh, I don't have time for this." She said walking away.
She walked around with Draco right behind her.
"Where is she?" Hermione thought.
She spotted Harry and Ginny sitting at a table and walked up to them.
"Where's Hermione?" Hermione asked angrily.
"Why?" Ginny asked confusedly.
"I need to find Hermione and I will with or without your help. So, if you please?" Hermione asked politely.
"What's this all about? Why are you consulting with Potter and Weasley?" Draco asked completely confused.
Hermione sighed.
"Will someone please just tell me where she is?!" Hermione yelled.
By now she had more than a few people staring at her.
"What's going on?" Hermione turned to see Ron and herself.
"You tricked me." Hermione said angrily at Larissa.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She said.
Hermione's mouth hung open.
"You're me! The only reason you're with Ron is because I let you switch places with me!" Hermione said royally pissed.
"Larissa stop it!" Draco said taking her arm and pulling her away.
"You better go with your stupid Slytherin boyfriend." Larissa said with a smirk as Draco dragged her away.
"I told you she was insane Draco but you didn't listen. Too bad you can't have me back." Pansy decided to get into the argument.
"Shut up Parkinson." Draco said.
Carnigan walked up to Draco. Draco let Hermione go once Carnigan hit him in the face.
Hermione marched up to Larissa and punched her in the face.
She was then punched by Ginny because wands were not aloud in the great hall.
Noone thought they'd need them for a dance, besides, where would you put them?
"Get him Carnigan!" Pansy called as he lunged at Draco.
Draco punched him in the face and kicked him to the ground.
He jumped on top of him and started punching him in the face over and over.
Carnigan still got in some good hits and Draco's face was covered in blood.
Meanwhile, Larissa got up and wiped the blood from her mouth as she walked over to Hermione and kicked her side.
Ginny watched in shock.
"Hermione. Hermione stop!" Ginny called.
Larissa smirked as blood began to come out of Hermione's mouth.
Draco finally knocked Carnigan unconscious as he went up to Larissa and punched her in the face and lifted Hermione off the ground.
"STOP!"
