Total Opposites – Chapter Five: Not So Alone Part One
It was Pansy's turn to roll her eyes, but got over it quickly. She gracefully, well as gracefully as she could possibly go, skipped away off to the Head tower; while Hermione walked off into the other direction towards the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione made her way to the portrait of the Fat Lady. She was surprised to see Hermione with a bag full of her things, for once not with her school books. Hermione didn't really feel like making conversation with the Fat Lady, so she said the password "gum drops" and entered the common room.
It was only around eight thirty and Hermione figured they would still be up. To her surprise Harry and Ron were still around. And to her disappointment they were indulged in a game of wizard's chess.
"'S a surprise to see you here," Ron greeted with a smile.
"Queen to B-2! Hey Hermione! What's up?" Harry asked; glad to see his other best friend.
"Sorry again mate, but check mate!" Ron cheered. Harry groaned; he just wasn't good at wizard's chess. Though, the life size chess game in their first year was an exception because Ron was there to play the game.
"Hey guys, I just had to get out of that place. I couldn't stand Malfoy's ways of doing things," Hermione said while smiling mischievously.
"That slimy git. I tell you I don't know who in the right mind would make Malfoy Head Boy!" Ron said, not noticing the smile on her face.
"Get over it Ron. What are you up to anyway Hermione? I see that smirk on your face," Harry said.
"Oh… nothing," Hermione blatantly lied.
"Come on now tell us what you have got up your sleeve," Harry said with a slight smirk. Ron was cursing to himself and Harry nudged him; he finally stopped. "Hermione's got something to tell us, Ron."
"Oh, sorry 'bout that guess I kinda zoned out. What is it that you had to tell us about?" Ron asked, while turning a slight scarlet.
"Well all right, you know the whole situation between Parkinson and Malfoy? He loathes her, she loves him…?"
"Yeah," said the boys in unison.
"Well, as I was on my way out, I bumped into her. And then I thought I am not going to let Malfoy have the whole place to him. So what better than to have the most unexpected person show up? Unfortunately, I had to tell her the password, but I will definitely change it when this little trick is over," explained Hermione with a proud voice.
"Are we talking about the same Hermione who never does anything out of the ordinary and doesn't like to break the rules?" Ron asked sarcastically, but a little startled that she would do something like this.
"You aren't the only ones that are allowed to have some fun every once and a while," Hermione said with somewhat of an attitude.
"Alright, I don't want to see you two start fighting. Ron was only joking. I do have to admit, though I would have never thought you would have done something like that. Of course, I'd love to see the outcome of this. It is an awfully dirty rotten trick, but the only person that could have come up with it is you, Hermione," Harry said looking to Hermione and then back at Ron.
"Alright I do admit that it isn't very likely of me doing something like this. It is a good plan though, right? Ya know it sorta reminds me of a muggle saying- what goes around comes around."
"What?" Ron asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Never mind Ron," Harry said as he started to laugh slightly.
Pansy had gotten lost a number of times, but found her way to the Head tower. She said the password and the portrait opened. Once she came to the common room she noticed that Draco wasn't around.
So she went and sat on the Slytherin colored chair remembering what Hermione said about not touching anything. Pansy mused herself, "Why would I want to touch anything that belongs to a mudblood?"
"It's a little chilly in here. I think I will go down and sit in front of the warm fire," Draco thought.
He strolled out of bed and put the Quidditch book he was reading down. Afterward he made his way to the door. He scuttled down the steps and noticed that someone was sitting in the Slytherin chair.
"I am surprised Granger had the guts to stay here," Draco thought to himself and then said out loud, "Well, well, well, I'm shocked that you would still be here after this whole week with me…."
