AN: How many times do I have to ask you..? REVIEW!

Hermione sat down between Ron and Harry. She had trouble concentrating through Potions. Her thoughts kept going back to Draco. Every time he looked in her direction (which was quite a few times), she averted her eyes quickly, but she couldn't help but stare.  'What would Harry and Ron think of me?' she thought miserably. 'Ron was mad when I liked Viktor. Imagine what he'll say if he finds out I think Malfoy is attractive?'

When all of her classes were finished, she raced up to the common room to look for Ginny. She found her working on a star chart by the fire.

"Ginny. . .I need to talk to you!" Hermione panted.

"Alright." Ginny turned to face her.

Hermione peered around the room. It was almost empty.

"Okay. I did the incantation on Draco Malfoy after he teased me in the corridor. He was thinking that I was pretty!"

Ginny giggled. "He is an awful prat. . .but a very, very fit one. . ."

"Yes, I've noticed." Hermione blushed.

"Well, seeing as you could never ever go out with him if you ever want Ron or Harry to speak to you again. . ."

"Plus, I'd never want to go out with him. . ."

"Right. Well, if I were you, I'd have fun with the situation. I mean, you know he thinks you're good-looking. . .I would do some shameless flirting!"

"Ginny, you know I can't do that sort of thing."

"Yes, you can. I know you can. Besides, it would be a perfect opportunity to make a fool of Malfoy for all the mean things he's done to you over the years.

"I couldn't do that. . ."

"Hermione! Think of all the things he's done to you. . .called you a Mudblood, wished you dead. . .not to mention his probable career path!"

Hermione was silent. She thought of all the times Malfoy had gotten her and her friends into trouble.

"Okay. I'll do it, Ginny. But you're going to have to help me. A lot. And we're going to go talk about it in my dorm, where nobody can overhear."

"Great! Ooh, this will be so much fun. Let's see, where to begin. . .ohhh, clothes! We need something that's revealing, but not too bad. . .did you keep your uniform sweater from last year?"

"Yes, it's probably in my trunk somewh—"

"Okay, that'll be good, and then you can roll up your skirt at the waistband. . .yeah, that will work. . .the trick is to get him to notice you. How about you do a charm that makes his books fall all over the floor while he's trying to get to class, and you bend over to help him?"

"Ginny! I don't think I could do that!"

"Oh, yes you can."

Ginny went on like this for a bit, telling Hermione what to do and how to do it.

"Okay, now you've got it. . .want to test it out on someone? Change into your last year's uniform, and I'll go down and check to see who's in the common room that would be a good test subject."

"Fine." Hermione said this coldly, but she was beginning to like this flirting business.

Hermione slipped into the too-tight clothes, and Ginny appeared at the doorway grinning.

"Seamus is the only one down there, everyone else is still eating."

"Seamus? You think I should try it out on Seamus?"

"Yes. I'll watch from the stairs."

"Fine." Hermione tiptoed down the stairs and raised her wand. She performed a little charm, and Seamus' papers flew all over the room.

"Need any help, Seamus?" Hermione purred.

Seamus looked up, startled. He gulped when he saw Hermione and what she was—and wasn't—wearing.

"Um, no, I can get it. . ." he said, jumped out of his seat.

"No, no, I'd be glad to help." She bent over slowly and picked up a paper that was laying on the floor right in front of him. When she stood up, their bodies were touching.

"Do you need help with anything else?" she breathed in his ear, chancing a look down. Just like what Ginny had said would happen. . .there was a bulge in his pants.

"No, no, I'll be fine. Th- thanks."

"Alright. Just let me know if you need anything."

"O-o-okay."

Hermione walked over to the staircase, and when she was out of Seamus' sight (he was still watching her), she ran up to where Ginny was sitting.

"Hermione!" Ginny squealed. "You did great! You should have seen the look on his face!"

"God, that was fun!"

"I told you! Now, just wait until tomorrow. We'll see how it works on Malfoy. . ."
