Hey all!
Jo (oreo69not96): Sorry again, I keep feeling guilty now! Thanks for the review... SOOOOO MUCH. If you don't update soon, I'll throw bananas at you... Are you not updating because you're mad :(. Hope not. Chat soon though!
And there will be no rape... Haha! And bondage, well that would be not telling.
Yeah, yeah I'm getting on with it.
Here goes,
Last chapter: Draco said he wanted to channel his pain into Hermione – show her how much he hurt. Hermione was still in Draco's bed whilst Harry and Blaise came round, but how much longer will they be able to keep it up for? It's finally Luna's dare day,
"You ready Luna?" Ginny asked as they sat in the back of potions finishing off the mixture,
"Yes" Luna hissed, "Stop fussing and remember not to clean the cauldron so we can give a sample to Snape. Not that he'll need it" Luna said winking. "I'll try it out" She put a drop on her hand and a very small angry red blister appeared, "Righty ho" Luna said grinning evilly,
"Be careful"
"I won't be" Luna stood up and walked towards the front, she was about a metre away from Snape. She tripped face forward and somehow the blistering potion went flying straight towards the potion master's face. It splattered all over his body but most of the acid green sludge hit his face. Luna sat on the floor, holding her ankle and panting pretending she'd twisted it, "Ow, ow, ow" She said loudly, the whole class had erupted into fits of giggles. Snape seemed to be frozen, "I'm so sorry" She made to get up but winced 'in pain', "I'll help" She tried to pull herself up but obviously the pain was too much.
"Stay where you are" Snape shouted, he did a quick spell on his face, "That was a deliberate attempt to SABOTAGE me!" He shouted at her,
"But sir my ankle!"
"I don't give two cahoots about your ankle"
"But your face is fixed sir, I need my ankle to be fixed"
"Fine! But I want you in my office six o'clock tonight for detention"
"But Professor, I didn't do anything. If it was on purpose how would I have hurt my ankle?" Snape looked ready to explode,
"WEASLEY TAKE MISS LOVEGOOD TO MADAM POMFREY NOW! SOMEONE CLEAN UP HIS OR HER CAULDRON! CLASS DISMISSED" He exited the room as fast as he'd cleaned up his face. Luna was on the floor giggling loudly,
A stream of students passed her,
"Nice on Luna,"
"Funny Luna"
"Best joke ever Luna"
"Accidentally on purpose..."
"I'll remember that"
The class exited, all of them ready to burst with gossip to tell the school. About their potions master with what looked like severe acne all over his face.
Luna and Ginny cleared up their cauldron and fled from the dungeon area as soon as they could.
Harry wiped the tears away from his eyes,
"Hilarious" Blaise said, "Truly hilarious"
"Yeah, it was funny" Ginny said,
"I have to send a letter" Hermione told Draco she touched his arm,
"Ok, want me to come?" Draco asked,
"Erm" She paused, "Sure" She ran upstairs and grabbed a parchment and quill, they walked to the owlery in silence. "We should tell them"
"What?"
"We should tell them all we're together"
"If that's what you want... Though I think we should do it after Christmas"
"Erm, Draco?"
"Yes?"
"At Christmas" Hermione started and then carried on walking in silence,
"What about Christmas"
"I have to go home"
"But? I thought we could spend it together" Draco started,
"I... Well.... Sorry"
"Ok." Draco looked happy, although inside he felt hideous, "I suppose I could go back to the manor. I'll sort out the houseelves and there is some unfinished paperwork after their death" He said logically,
"You can't send Christmas on your own! I thought you'd spend it at Hogwarts with Harry and everyone"
"Well, I'm needed at home"
"What home?"
"The manor"
"Draco stop being so stupid"
"I'm not, I might as well"
"Fine. But this isn't over" She sighed "I can't be bothered to send the stupid letter anyways"
"You sure?" Draco sighed as they walked back towards their rooms, "Look, I had to go home sometime anyway Hermione"
"I could come with you in the summer?" Hermione said looking bewildered,
"No. I'm fine on my own"
"Draco"
"It's fine"
"This isn't over" Hermione growled, "Banana milkshakes" She threw herself down on the sofa and Draco sat opposite her on the chair, they sat in silence until
"I don't see why you have to go home" Draco said staring at her intensely,
"I just have to alright?"
"Why? Something going on between that stupid Black guy and you?" He glared at her and Hermione sighed,
"No, I just miss home. I miss my dad" Draco looked at Hermione,
"Well I wouldn't know... And from the impression I got the first couple of days here you wouldn't either. Or was that just an act?"
"No" Hermione said quietly, she had meant what she said, and to be honest she didn't miss home at all.
"Then how come you miss home so much?"
"I have friends there!" Hermione protested,
"What? These two guy, Oaky and Black?"
"Yeah"
"SO" He shouted, "You're stringing three of us along. What are they friends with priviledges?"
"No, I'm with you."
"How come you miss them so much then?" Draco said his voice raised,
"They're MY FRIENDS" Hermione shouted,
"SO I'VE HEARD!"
"OAKY SWINGS THE OTHER WAY ANYWAY! AND BLACK.... WELL HE'S JUST BLACK" She screamed back at him,
"And I'm meant to believe this?" Draco said sarcastically raising an eyebrow,
"Yes" Hermione said. Knowing how pathetic it sounded she sighed. "Trust me"
"Why? So I can climb up high and have you push me straight back down?" Draco said sarcasm now dripping from his cold voice,
"Draco that statement was as crooked as a pair of corkscrews! Maybe we should talk about this tomorrow?"
"Fine! Lets!" Draco stared at her,
"I'm going to bed" Hermione got up and went upstairs. Draco glared at the spot where she was sat on the sofa.
"God dammit" He muttered and went to bed. They both fell asleep feeling angry and agitated with themselves and each other.
Far too short I know. My internet is totally crapped out so hopefully I'll write some chapters whilst it is down. Sorry about the short chapter, sorry about the lateness. Sorry about being so... Crappy and mean. Leave me reviews full of abuse for it is no less than I deserve weeps and kisses faithful readers boots
Ok... It wasn't quite that bad, but y'know. My apologies madams et monsieurs.
Byeeeeee,
Much love
