Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
"Have you kissed Ron?" Hermione asked.
Larissa blushed and nodded.
Hermione looked at Draco who was now talking with another Hogwarts student.
"Ok." She said.
"But, you can't tell Draco or he'll end up hating me and we'll never switch." Hermione said forcefully.
Larissa nodded.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…
Larissa walked back to the common room and told Ginny, Harry and Ron what Hermione had said.
"She really loves him doesn't she…oh this is so exciting! Soon we'll have our old Hermione back!" Ginny said excitedly.
"And of course we'll be seeing the real you." Ginny continued happily looking towards Larissa.
Ron put his arm around her waist.
"Oh yes." He said with a goofy grin.
Larissa rolled her eyes but leaned on his shoulder.
"I just hope I don't get you and Hermione mixed up after the switch." Ron said worriedly.
Everyone laughed at that.
"Listen, this is no time to celebrate yet. We need to get those two together. And fast." Larissa said.
"But, you said we can't tell Malfoy so what do we do?" Harry asked.
"I guess we just let Hermione handle it." Ron shrugged.
Both Larissa and Ginny had their mouths open and looked at one another.
"Boys!" They cried unbeleivingly.
They then proceeded to leave the common room to the Great Hall to plan their next move.
"What'd we say?" Ron asked.
Harry shrugged.
"What was that all about?" Draco asked leaning against a wall.
The person he was talking to had left shortly after Larissa and Hermione finished their talk.
"Oh, nothing. She's just doing a horrible job being me that's all." Hermione lied.
Draco just stared at her.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing, let's go eat." He said taking her hand and leading the way to the Great Hall.
"You know, I do know the way. I don't need assistance." Hermione said amusedly.
Draco smiled.
"Has it ever occurred to you DEVON, that I might actually like holding your hand?" Draco said with a handsome smile.
Hermione wasn't expecting this and blushed slightly as Draco smirked.
Marlaina sat in the Great Hall happily watching her accomplishment enter. She could see her brother holding the young Devon girl's hand. She had a slight blush across her nose as Draco sat down next to her.
He glanced up at the front table and rolled his eyes at his sister's happy smiles.
A few moments later Marlaina observed Larissa and Ginny enter.
Marlaina watched carefully as they sat down and glanced quickly at Hermione and Draco who were eating while listening to another Slytherin's complaints.
Hermione looked interested but Draco could of cared less.
The boy continued on fasinating young Hermione who was listening intently.
Larissa slipped a note to another Gryffindor and he stood up and brought the parchment to Draco.
Draco took the parchment without so much as a thank you and glared at the poor third year until he ran off.
Draco then turned to the parchment and skimmed over it quickly.
He excused himself and walked smoothly over to the Gryffindor table.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Ginny asked as politely as possible without giving away how happy she was for her friend.
"I was wondering if I could have a word?" He asked looking at Larissa and ignoring Ginny.
She nodded and winked towards Ginny as she got up and left the Great Hall.
Hermione noticed where Draco was headed and got slightly worried at what Larissa would tell him had he asked what they talked about this morning.
"Thanks for the talk." Hermione quickly said to the boy and stood up to talk to Ginny.
She walked over and sat down with her.
"Hey Ginny." Hermione smiled. Ginny grinned.
"How come you don't talk to me anymore?" Ginny asked with fake hurt.
Hermione smiled.
"For that reason…" Hermione began as she pointed behind her.
Ginny looked and saw all the whispering Slytherin's.
Ginny nodded.
"So, what's it like being a Slytherin?" Ginny asked.
"I'm still the same person Ginny." Hermione explained.
Ginny nodded.
"Sorry, what I meant to say was, what's it like to DATE a Slytherin?" Ginny teased.
"I am not dating Draco…" Hermione was interupted by Ginny's giggle.
"Draco? Who said I was talking about him? And what's with the formality?" Ginny asked with a misgeivious glint in her eye.
Hermione blushed.
"You know, Dr-Malfoy isn't that bad once you're a Slytherin." Hermione said.
"I don't think it's just that Hermione, I mean, he's really nice to you and the way he looks at you would make you think he's the king of the world. But, he knows who you really are and yet, he still treats you good, if not better." Ginny said.
Hermione thought a moment.
"You don't think he's tricking me do you?" She asked seriously.
Ginny laughed.
"No, I think he's starting to fall for you." Ginny said with a smile.
Hermione blushed.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope you were right." Hermione said with a laugh.
Ginny laughed.
Out in the hall Draco turned around to lean on the wall.
He looked at Devon and she smirked.
"What do you want?" Draco asked.
"Me? You walked over to my…" She began.
He pulled out the piece of parchment the third year Gryffindor brought over and held it up.
She nodded.
"Alright, do you realize what you're doing?" Devon asked.
Draco just stared at her as though looking through her.
"What am I doing exactly?" He asked boredly.
"You're flirting with GRANGER." Larissa began while crossing her arms and a discusted look on her face.
"Jealous are we Devon?" Malfoy asked with a smirk.
Larissa scrunched up her face and glared at Malfoy.
"You only wish." She began.
"Actually I don't." He said still quite bored.
"Stay away from her. We have a bargain and I can't have you ruining it." Larissa said sternly.
"As much fun as this is Devon, I don't have time…" Malfoy began.
"I don't want you near her." Devon said before marching back into the Great Hall.
Draco smirked.
"If that's what you want. Then that's just too bad." He thought while thinking up ways to spite her.
When Larissa walked back into the hall Hermione stood up and went back to the Slytherin table.
Larissa sat down with Ginny.
"So, did the plan work?" Ginny asked.
"I'm not entirely sure but I think that Draco will soon be running to be with Hermione." Larissa laughed evilly.
"What did you say to him?" Ginny asked.
"I just told him how much I hate seeing him with her and how he needs to stay away because it's what I want." Larissa grinned.
Ginny smiled also.
"Perfect. They'll kiss by sundown." Ginny said happily.
I'm so sorry for the short chapter…I usually write at least six hundred more words but today I'm not feeling so good. I hope you can forgive me and I'll try to update tomorrow…there will be an update Tuesday, I promise! R&R please! Thank you.
