Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
"My life is hell." He said out loud.
Marlaina had to laugh at that one.
She put a hand on his shoulder.
"Feel better." She said with a smile.
Hermione came back to the bed and layed down looking incredibly pale.
This was going to be a long morning.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…
At breakfast everyone was talking about Devon and Malfoy. Especially the ones who saw them.
"What happened?" Harry asked looking around at all the gossiping students.
"I don't know. I haven't heard anything." Ron said looking around also.
Larissa walked into the Great Hall and noticed everyone talking as well.
She sat down to find out what was going on.
"What's going on?" She asked Ron.
"I don't know…" He began.
Suddednly Ginny sat down with a smile.
"What's going on Gin?" Harry asked.
"Well, at first I thought it was about me being your girlfriend. You know since everyone is always bothering you." Harry sighed.
"Jeez, they never leave me alone." He said agrivated.
"Don't worry, it's not about us." Harry looked up quickly with confusion.
"I know, then I thought well, it must be about Ron and Hermione but that's not it either." Ginny explained.
"Will you just tell us what everyone is talking about?" Ron asked.
"Malfoy and Devon." Ginny said taking some toast.
"Devon? Who's she?" Ron asked.
Larissa was slightly hurt but then thought 'I'm Hermione' so she smiled.
"Devon, you know, Malfoy's date." Ginny said obviously.
Ron rolled his eyes.
"What's it about?" Harry asked.
"They were caught in the Slytherin Dorm last night aparently drunk and making a racket and not letting anyone in the room." Ginny said.
Harry and Ron looked confused.
"I got it on tape!" A kid suddenly yelled.
Everyone turned to him and ran over.
"I can't see!" One Ravenclaw yelled.
"Move!" A Slytherin screamed.
"I want to see." It continued a few more moments until the kid with the camera finally sighed.
"Then let's watch it on a big screen." He said.
Everyone agreed and a very large screen appeared at the front of the room. Everyone sat and stared at it as it suddenly showed the events of last night.
Draco was standing on a coffee table in the middle of a dimly lit room surrounded by couches.
He was in his lounge pants and a wife beater.
Draco was slamming on his guitar as Hermione was holding on to a bottle and drinking away happily.
She was wearing Larissa's spagetti strap top and a pair of pajama pants.
Draco stopped the guitar playing a moment as she stopped drinking and began to sing and yell.
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my stature
An' I'm only feelin' good
When I'm havin' fun
When I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Break it down!
Draco started playing as Hermione danced around the room and laughed. He jumped off the coffee table and stood
next to Hermione giving her a smile as she began to sing again.
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation, anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Oh no, Not Me,
oh no, not me
Suddenly Professor Snape showed up and walked in front of the camera as Malfoy looked up with a little kid face of surprise as though he was caught getting into the cookie jar.
Hermione looked at Draco and back at Snape and noone saw her reaction because the tape went dead.
When it stopped some Slytherins started to laugh and other houses looked surprised that Malfoy even knew what a guitar was.
At the Gryffindor table Larissa sat absolutely speechless.
"An entire lifetime to be someone else, someone well known. One day, and she made my entire existence known to the world." Larissa thought with sadness.
Larissa got up and hurriedly left the Great Hall.
"Have you noticed she's been acting strange?" Ginny asked as she watched her friend leave the Great Hall.
"Probably just tired from last night." Harry suggested.
"She seems fine to me." Ron said with a smile.
"I mean before the dance. You know, how she used to…I don't know, she was just…different." Ginny whispered.
Ron shrugged.
"I'll see you guys later. I have to go make sure my girl isn't in the library on our day off." Ron grinned as he left.
By that afternoon Draco and Hermione were feeling much better.
"I am never EVER having another drink of alcohol again." Hermione said as she shook her head from the memories.
"I don't know Devon, I thought you were actually fun." He said with a smile as they continued walking down the hallway.
Hermione looked at him questioningly.
"I am just as much fun sober thank you very much." She said defiantly.
Draco shrugged.
Ron was walking down the hall confusedly.
Harry noticed him up the hall and ran to catch up.
"Ron…what's wrong?" He asked.
"Hermione, I don't know where she is. I checked the library, the common room, I had Ginny check the dorm and I went back to the great hall and the medical wing and she's not in any of those places." Ron said counting the places on his fingers.
"That's odd. Hermione has been acting weird lately." Harry said.
Ron gave him a confused look.
"Ron, she's never liked you more than a brother before." Harry explained.
Ron decided to take this as an insult.
"Sure she has. She told me so. Why would Hermione lie?" Ron asked.
"I don't know, I'm just saying she isn't herself and I think something's wrong." Harry said.
"You know, this is just like when we brought her to the hospital wing. She's not aloud to be happy? She's happy with me and there's nothing wrong." Ron said walking away to continue his search.
Larissa decided to go to her favorite place in the world.
She sat on the bleachers in front of the Quidditch field just to think.
She loved coming here because noone bothered her. Unless they had practice or something but even then noone noticed her. She always wanted to play Quidditch but never had enough nerve to try out.
It was depressing really, how scared she was of almost everything.
But, being scared of trying out and being brave enough to switch lives with someone was different.
She badly needed to be someone else. No matter what it cost.
Then why did she feel it was so wrong?
"What's wrong with wanting…no needing something so badly that you'd do anything for it?" She asked herself.
"Because you know it isn't fair to others." Her conscience said.
She sighed angrily as she burried her head in her hands.
"It wasn't fair. Nothing's fair!" She screamed to herself.
"Hermione?" A soft voice asked.
Larissa's head shot up to look at the face of Ron.
She loved him. There was no denying it.
But he had to know the truth.
Even if he hated her forever. She could live knowing he was mad at her or even if he hated her but she couldn't live knowing he wasn't in love with the real Larissa.
"Ron…I need to tell you something." She said slowly as he sat down next to her with a concerned face.
Draco and Hermione walked into the Great Hall just to be greeted by stares.
"Um…" Hermione said surprised at all the people staring at her.
Draco took her by the arm and lead her to the Slytherin table.
They sat down and were still being stared at.
"What?" Draco asked.
Once he said this the floor was open for questioning.
"Are you two going out?" One girl asked.
"Where'd you learn to play the guitar?" Another Slytherin boy asked.
"You are so lucky!" Someone yelled happily.
"Do you have any more of that drink?" A kid asked.
Draco and Hermione looked at one another before looking shocked at the group.
Later Draco and Hermione took the long way back to the common room because they were being hounded by all the students.
"Why do they care so much? What did we do?" Hermione asked.
"You don't remember?" Draco asked.
Hermione thought a moment.
Of course she remembered dancing and singing but she only did that so that Larissa would be made fun of.
This wasn't working how it should.
"Of course I remember. It's just…not supposed to be like this." She said thoughtfully.
Malfoy nodded.
"Granger isn't supposed to be fun." He thought angrily at himself for enjoying her company.
"What's wrong with me? You're here to mess up her life as well as that stupid Devon. Not become friend's with her!" Draco screamed at himself.
He didn't realize Hermione had stopped walking.
"Draco?" She asked.
He stopped walking and turned around to see Hermione waiting with a confused look.
"What?" He asked calmly.
"You called me…Granger last night." She said.
"What? Why would I call you Granger?" Draco asked feeling slightly nervous.
Hermione smirked.
"You knew it was me. Why didn't you say anything?" She asked.
Draco smirked.
"You're really too smart for your own good." Draco said shaking his head.
"You want to get back at Larissa don't you? That's the only reason you got drunk. But it isn't working." Draco said.
"Yea, so what does this have to do with you?" She asked crossing her arms.
"I want to get back at her too. She made a fool out of me." Draco said angrily.
Hermione studied him for a moment.
"Why? Just because she made you go to the dance with a 'mudblood'?" Hermione asked while glaring at him.
"No. She stood me up. It wouldn't of been too bad if she had at least told me who my real date was." Draco said without realizing how sweet that actually sounded.
Hermione smiled.
"You know, you're not that bad Draco." She said.
Draco shrugged.
"Yea, well, noone else seems to think so and you better not say a word to anyone…" He began threateningly.
"Don't worry Draco, who am I gonna tell in this body?" Hermione asked sadly.
Draco nodded.
"Guess all we have is eachother huh?" He asked slowly.
Hermione nodded.
"Guess so." She said.
Well? Do you still like? Hope so! R&R please! I'd like to thank Black Hat Insanity, RelientKroxmysox721, TheDreamerLady, Smrt cids, pat-vampire and regina-terrae! Thanks for your great reviews! Keep reading and I tried to make this chapter longer for you guys!
