chapter 2:confusion

Normally at this time of day,Draco would have already changed into his pyjamas and started his homework.But seeing as how he had to help plan the party,he was sitting in his bed ruffling through order forms.He was in charge of the after party,the one nobody but the students knew about.The Professors would probably have heart attacks if they knew what went on at a slytherin after party.Draco had so much to do.He had to get the firewhiskey,the dancers,practice his silencing charms,the list goes on really.So he was sitting there minding his own business when suddenly Hermione walked in.Draco was obviously not expecting this.

"How the bloody hell did you get in here? You could've been caught and then what would you do! Honesty Granger!"

"Aww,Draco,I didn't know you cared." Hermione was practically having to hold her sides together because she was laughing so hard.

"Shut up," Draco said mocking anger,"What do you want?"

"I just came to tell you something Draco but you're being very rude and I don't think I will.Shame too.It was such good news."

Draco sat there in shock.Was Hermione Jane Granger teasing! I mean hello! It was Granger.Wow.He had really corupted her.Oh the pride."Okay 'Mione I'm sorry.I just wasn't expecting on.Tell me...Please?"

Hermione just stood there and smiled a smug little smile."That's what I thought.OKay well..."she plopped on his bed and pulled a red silk pillow towards her,"I think Harry fancies you."

Draco sat there starring at her,mouth agape.Then,he started laughing."Well duh Granger! How could he not! I mean look at me! I'm bloody gorgeous!"He continued laughing.Then,Hermione pushed him off the bed.

"Yes Draco.Ha-ha-ha-ha.Well I'm being serious and I know you like him too so you better just stop being such a girl and do something about it.And if you don't...I'll do something about it for you."

Hermione was now in full fledged lecture mode and Draco did not want to ask questions ar speak at all for fear of being killed by her words.But he knew that if he didn't speak at all he would definately get it.

"Okay 'Mione,okay.You're right.Happy now?"

"No Draco Malfoy I am not happy now.Just you telling me I'm right won't make me go away which is what you are trying to do.You have to do something about this.You're both being incredibly stupid about this whole thing.You like him,he likes you,and yet you both act like you hate each other's guts! Ugh! Guys are so complicated! Okay that's it,I just wanted to tell you that the gates are open and he reciprocates your feelings so go after him.I,however,have to get back to Ginny.I'm sorry I yelled Draco...I just want to see you both happy and instead you are both miserable.Please Draco,do what you have to so that you're happy.I love you Draco."Hermione bent down and kissed him on the cheek.

"I know 'Mione.I know you just want me to be happy.I...,"Draco stopped and started to smirk."I have a plan already in the works.Leave it to me.Now,as for you,get back to your girlfriend."

"Mmmhmmm.OKay,I am now out of this.Go get your guy."

"Oh,I will"
