Chapter Five- So Over Draco….NOT!!!!!!

The following week had been crazy for poor Hermione. Why? Because everywhere she went, Draco seemed to be following her. In the Hog's Head, Draco was there, standing, his hands on the pockets of his jeans and looking around, as if waiting for someone.

"That someone better not be me, or he'll receive a smack!" she thought bitterly, but part of her wished that he was indeed waiting for her. She ordered some butterbeer and sat at a table near Draco, who was still there, whistling, waiting patiently. Hermione couldn't stand it any longer. She decided to confront Draco.

"Excuse me! But your endless butting in is driving me crazy! Can you please stop bothering me and never show your face to me again?!" Hermione screamed.

"Well, what do we have here? A cranky Hermione!" exclaimed Draco, laughing. "Hi there, Hermione."

"Who're you talking to, Draco?"

Draco and Hermione turned and saw a brunette aged about nineteen approach them. Draco grinned. "Ah…Vanessa, what took you so long in the powder room?"

"Well…I've been retouching my make-up and it's a hard job, isn't that right?" Vanessa looked at Hermione, grinning.

"Yes..yes indeed" was all Hermione could utter.

"Well, I'll see you soon Hermione," Draco called and put a hand on his mouth. "Oops, you just told me never to show my face to you again. So…g'bye!" He and Vanessa walked to a bunch of other guys who were hexing each other.

Hermione stood still, pale.

"Oy, miss, you still alive?!" asked a very cute black-haired guy.

"Yes!" yelled Hermione. "And I'm leaving this dump…it's so wild in here."

And Crack! She Disapparated.

"SURPRISE!!!!!!!"

Hermione screamed. It was Ginevra Weasley, otherwise known as Ginny, Ron's little sister.

"Ginny…I didn't expect you here!" she gasped.

"Well, I've decided to pay you a visit because life at the Burrow is so BO-RING!!!!" She tossed her fiery red hair. "So," she said casually, crossing her legs and sat in the black bean bag near Hermione's bed. "How did you deal with the break-up?"

"Well, I have finally gotten over him! In fact, he has gotten over me too! And even has a new girlfriend named Vanessa who's a year older than her and looks like a slut!"

"So…it's just like that?" asked Ginny. "Draco's shifted in his playboy attitude after years of being sincere? What a JERK of a person!"

"I know!" Hermione said in a squeaky voice that clearly stated she's dangerously close to crying again. "And I feel like I'm some wasted potion ingredient."

By then, tears were falling down her face and Ginny stood up and hugged her. "Hermione, I have a plan that will let him shut up and let you two still be together."

"Ginny, you don't understand—," Hermione started to say but Ginny pointed her wand at her mouth and said, "Quietus."

"I've been thinking about this since I heard about the break-up and that's why I've visited you! To tell you my plan. So, anyway, you buy a new thingamabob that could bring you back in time and when Draco's about to say it's over, point your wand at his lips and say "Quietus" then say "You won't be dumpin' me mister!" Ginny jumped up and down and clapped her hands. "So…what do you think????"

"Mmmmm…" Hermione struggled to speak. She completely disagreed with Ginny's idea.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Ginny cheered. "Now, I'll meet you tomorrow, on Diagon Alley, ten thirty am sharp! And you have to come." She pointed her wand at Hermione's mouth again and said, "Voicenious."

"Ginny…" Hermione began.

"Cheerios!!!" Ginny waved cheerfully and Disapparated.

Hermione lay down her bed, wishing Ginny was as shy as she was on her first year at Hogwarts so she wouldn't be coming up with daring ideas like this one.
