Disclaimer: We don't own this… the plot we do though.
It's all about the Smirks
"So what are you going to do this afternoon?" Hermione asked, looking out the window at the clear day.
"Terry Boot and I are going down to study down by the lake. You should come," Luna said to her new-found friend. They had recently realized that they were very similar.
"No thanks. You Ravenclaws are too smart for me."
"Sure we are. Well I'm gonna go. It was nice hanging out with you."
"See ya Luna," Hermione said, still looking out the window.
"You're boyfriend is here, by the way," Luna said mysteriously.
Hermione turned. "What? I don't have a boyfriend."
"Fine! You're should-be-boyfriend," she said as the door opened.
"What are you--" Hermione stammered.
"Hello Granger. Fancy seeing you here," she heard the cold voice of Draco Malfoy say.
"Goodbye," Luna said, walking past Draco and leaving the two alone in the abandoned classroom.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Hermione asked bitterly.
Draco ignored her as he quietly shut the door. He turned back around and winked at the brunette who was still glaring at him. Hermione rolled her eyes and groaned in disgust.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" she asked him again. "Or better yet—keep it to yourself and leave me alone. It's a beautiful day; I don't need your ferret face polluting my atmosphere."
Draco clicked the lock behind him, never taking his eyes of the witch in the room.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked angrily.
"I'm not doing anything, Granger," he smirked, walking closer to her. "Yet."
Hermione jumped down from the window ledge she had been sitting on and headed for the door. She brushed past Draco and reached for the door lock. Before she had a chance to unlock the door she felt a wind sweep by her as the door was magically closed. Hermione turned to face Draco. He was smirking at her and she didn't like it all the much.
"Stop smirking at me," she said angrily as she searched the room for her wand. She had set it down by the window, but now it wasn't there.
Hermione's eyes widened in shock at the sight of her wand dangling between the long, pale fingers of Draco Malfoy. She quickly became furious at the thought of Draco with her wand. And she really wanted to slap that damn smirk off of his face.
"Looking for this?" he asked sardonically.
"Malfoy, give me my wand back!" she screamed at him.
"What do I get in return?"
"Whatever you want!" Hermione blurted out, wishing that she had her wand. When Draco's smirk became even wider she realized the full consequence of what she had said. "Not anything, of course," she said, trying to reason with him. But, she thought to herself, he is a Slytherin. Does reasoning really work with them?
"No, I like anything," he drawled, still twirling her wand in his long digits.
"I'm not going to do anything," she said, suddenly realizing that she had ended up very close to him and could smell his peppermint and clove smell.
Draco caught her smelling him, knowing how this was going to end.
Hermione unconsciously got closer to him, drawn in by his scent. Suddenly her arms were around his neck and her lips on his.
"You didn't hold out that long," Draco whispered after their kiss was broken.
"Yeah, well you didn't play fairly this time, Draco," she replied. "You know I love peppermint and clove. You know I can never resist!"
"Well you know that I hate playing fair."
"Can I have my wand back?" Hermione asked him sweetly.
"For a price," he said sultrily.
"No," she said pithily.
"No?" he asked.
"I have charms homework to finish, I really need to go," she whined, trying to grab her wand again.
"But I won," he said stiffly.
"But you broke the rules," she replied sternly. "No using each other's weaknesses!"
"I did not cheat, I just put on a particular brand of cologne today that happened to get your attention," he smirked.
"Liar! You know I love peppermint, I had to suck that peppermint candy out of your mouth last week because it smelled so good," Hermione said.
"I didn't cheat, you came on to me, Granger," he smirked.
"I came on to you?" she asked, shocked. Then she realized that it had been her and hung her head. "Fine, you won. What do you want?"
"I think we'll need the Room of Requirements for this one," he said slyly.
"Oh god," Hermione muttered. "Fine. Lead the way," she said, motioning to the door.
"This way, my dear," he said, Alohomora-ing the door and giving Hermione her wand back.
Hermione grabbed her wand back and pocketed it quickly. She walked out the door but instead of going right, which was the way to the Room of Requirements, she turned left.
"What are you doing?" Draco asked.
"I'm finishing my charms essay," she said, whipping around and putting her wand in his face.
"I knew I shouldn't have given you that thing back," Draco said sadly, shaking his head.
"Well, now you've learned," Hermione grinned. She took a few steps closer to Draco, hiding her wand behind her back and out of his reach, and kissed him on the forehead. "I'll see you later."
"Fine," Draco said, turning around and away from her. Hermione turned around also and started to walk away.
She came face to face with one Luna Lovegood.
"No boyfriend, eh?" she smirked.
"Oh, go bother Terry Boot!" Hermione joked. "I have a charms essay to do!"
"If by charms essay you mean Draco…" Luna said, smiling.
"Bugger off, Lovegood," Hermione teased.
"Your charms essay is due in a week, just go with your boyfriend," Luna said in a wistful way.
"He's long gone by now," Hermione explained. "Probably in the Slytherin Common Room."
"I'd check the Room of Requirements first."
"He wouldn't go there without me," Hermione said angrily.
"Are you so sure about that?" Luna asked.
"Of course," Hermione stated.
"I wouldn't be," Luna said mysteriously, turning to walk away.
"Wait," Hermione said, reaching towards Luna. "How do you know he's in there?"
"Just go!" she said, pushing Hermione in the other direction towards the Room of Requirements.
"Wait, how do you know?" asked Hermione again.
"Go!" she yelled before walking in the other direction and leaving Hermione alone in the hall.
Hermione though about it for a minute before walking to the Room of Requirements, she stopped outside the door. Slowly, wondering what he was doing in there, she opened the door. All she saw was a flash of pale blonde hair against bright red. She shut the door quickly and leaned her back against it, shutting her eyes. When she opened them Draco was standing in front of her.
"You OK?" he asked her.
"I'm getting there," she answered.
"I knew you'd come back," he said, changing the topic. "Let's go inside."
"No, we can't. Someone is in there already."
"I'm not falling for that, Hermione," he said as he brushed past her to open the door. As quickly as he had opened it, it shut. "He was supposed to die alone!"
"And she's supposed to be working at Gringotts to improve her 'Eeenglesh,'" Hermione said mockingly. "So where should we go?"
"Well you are head girl," Draco smiled.
"Yes, I am, but Blaise is probably in the common room studying, as usual, and I know he won't approve of me taking you into my room. He's such a virginal prude!" Hermione finished her monologue.
"He is a prude, but you can just tell him that we need to study…anatomy," he said.
"We don't take anatomy. Oh well…Let's go," she said, resigning early from any struggle.
They walked into the head dorms a few minutes later and were both shocked to see that Blaise was snogging none other that Ginny Weasley. They quietly tiptoed past and into Hermione's room.
"So much for virginal prude," Hermione laughed as she wrapped her arms around Draco's neck.
"Enough about him," Draco said roughly as he closed the already small distance between them.
Meanwhile, out in the common room:
"See Blaise, I told ya you can kiss," Ginny said, pulling away from her student.
"Was that actually good?" Blaise asked.
"Yes, it was. I'm sure Hermione can't resist if you kiss her like that," Ginny smiled.
A/N: So… this was a forty page one-shot, that we split up into seven chapters. We're not bothering with the whole, she wrote this, I wrote that thing, because that would get too complicated. We just passed a notebook back and forth, so it's not like we each wrote a chapter either. It's just a bunch of randomness… but the story is good.
Hope you like!
