Author's Note: I didn't like this chapter that much, and not much goes on until towards the end. I've finally got most of the story typed, but I'm not going to post them all at once though. I want some more reviews! And, I don't like getting into detail about the kissing scenes and stuff... And I don't like the Ginny and Draco scenes much, if you have any ideas, you can email them to me. Thanks!
Ginny and Draco had become very close over the next few weeks. Ginny was becoming more outgoing, and Draco wasn't being such a "butt" as Ginny called it to the Gryffindors. They would go together for midnight strolls, and would sneak into Hogsmeade. They had found a beautiful gazebo where they had their first date. The three doorways and were bordered with Jasmine flowers. The poles were decorated with honeysuckles, and White Roses were on the paths that leaded in and out of the gazebo. Draco had gotten the House Elves to prepare a fancy meal, and had it brought to them while they were on their date. Ginny laughed when the House Elves that brought the food did a little dance and sung a song. And with a bow, the 5 elves were off.
"That was so cute Draco!" Ginny squealed, giving him a quick kiss.
"My pleasure."
Back in the Common Room, Ron and Harry were trying to reason with Hermione.
"Man 'Mione, Malfoy was really rubbing off on you…" Harry said suddenly.
"Yeah, since when have you been a fan to this crap?" demanded Ron.
"Yes, he did rub off on me. And now Hermione Jane Granger gets what she wants. Exactly what she wants. And when she wants it," Hermione snapped.
"Chill out, hey Ron, let's go," replied Harry. He and Ron left to the Guys Dormitory. Well I'll have to do the real stuff on my own.
"Dude, what's up with Hermione?" Ron asked, putting on his pajamas.
"I think she is trying to get Malfoy back…" Ron groaned.
"Man, are you in love with her?"
"No," Ron replied quickly. A little too quickly.
"You do…" Harry teased.
"No, I just don't like seeing her like this. She is depressed from Malfoy dumping her, and now she is jealous of the Slytherin whore she is dating."
"Girls…" They laughed as they crawled into their four poster beds. Harry was about to shut his curtains, when Ron spoke up.
"Hey Harry? "
"Yeah?"
"Do you like Hermione?"
"No, why?"
"Just wondering."
"Do you?"
"NO! Why?"
"Cause you acted like it earlier…" Harry replied.
"No, it's just that I'm worried about her.. It's like she went dark or something… It's kinda scary, ya know?"
"Yeah."
Hermione watched her two best friends go up the stairs. She sighed. She wished things could have been different. She wished none of this crap had gotten in the way between their relationship. She wanted to punch herself. All of this was her fault… She would make it up to them somehow…
Ginny and Draco were still out on their date. It had been about four hours, and no one had seen either of them.
"It's funny," Ginny said. "How all of this started because I had to tutor you in Transfiguration."
"No it's not!" replied Draco. "I was failing that class!"
"No, not that, that wasn't funny, me having to teach you? Ha, that was a laugh. I was talking about us."
"Oh, yes… it was." Ginny shivered and moved closer to Draco. He laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You, Red, you…"
"Well, it is friggin freezing out here, and you didn't let me go back and get a sweater!"
"I know." They sat in silence for a while, just gazing up at the stars.
"Hey Draco, did you used to go out with Hermione?" Ginny asked suddenly.
"What makes you say that Red?"
"Because I went to her to ask about something, and I kinda mentioned you asking me out, and she got all teary-eyed and ran into the bathroom…"
"Well.." he began, but was cut off.
"Just answer the question. Did you?"
"Yes." He sighed. "It was a big mistake."
"Well how do you know that I'm not a mistake?" Ginny asked.
"Well, because all the other girls I dated, I got them in bed the same day…" The last words were muffled.
"Oh really?" Ginny said, not at all surprised. "Even Hermione?"
"No," Draco replied quickly.
"Oh, okay."
"Why, you getting ideas with me? I know, I know, I'm just too hard to resist." Ginny laughed at him. I mean laughed.
"You are so stupid!" she laughed, gasping for breath.
"I wasn't being serious."
"Yeah…okay…whatever," replied Ginny, snuggling up to him.
Draco awoke to the sound of birds chirping. He looked down at Ginny, who was sleeping on his chest. She looked to peaceful. And beautiful. He carefully leaned down and kissed her. She awoke and kissed him back. "Mornin' sunshine."
"Good morning," she replied, yawning and stretching. She gave him a funny look. "You know you snore when you sleep?"
"I do not!" he said.
"Yes you do, babe, I'm sorry," she joked.
"Malfoys don't snore!"
"I always knew you were adopted," Ginny teased, messing up his hair.
"Hey, hey, hey, watch it there Red…" Draco replied, fixing his hair. Draco helped Ginny up, and when they were fully awake, they walked hand in hand towards the castle. Draco was making sure no one was watching.
"Hey Red, can we keep this low?" he asked.
"What, embarrassed to be seen with a Weasley?" she joked.
"Ginny, I didn't mean it like that--"
"I know, I was joking, you need to have some humor in your life babe!" she replied. "Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing.."
"What, embarrassed to be seen with a Malfoy?" he joked back.
"Actually, yes I am," she replied back.
"Wow, quick on your comebacks my dear little Red." Ginny just laughed.
Hermione had been watching them walk up the whole way she could see them. Ugh, it made her sick. It shouldn't be that effin Weasley with Draco, it should be her. Hermione heard footsteps come down the Guys Dorms, and quickly got up. It was Harry and Ron. "Mornin "Mione," yawned Ron.
"Morning."
"Yeah, me and Ron decided that we will help you get back with Draco, but not the way you planned, okay?" said Harry, between a couple yawns.
"Okay…" She looked at them quizzically.
"Well here's our plan.." They went over the plan. It seemed nice, but here were too many possible mistakes that could happen. They could be caught here, or that way, Ginny or Draco could find out what they were doing if they weren't careful there…Hermione didn't point this out, because she didn't want to make them mad. They had no idea how happy she was that they were all friends again. I'll just go along with their plan, and spice it up with mine, she thought. Man, I sure am clever.
Hermione decided that she was going to do her plan on her own, while Harry and Ron thought she was with their plan.
"Hermione, who is the new girl that Draco's going out with?" asked Harry.
"Mind you, he's went our with every girl in school," Ron added. Hermione glared at him. He quickly looked away.
"Including your sister Ronald?" Hermione retorted.
"No, he will never lay his nasty hands on my sister!" Hermione just looked at him, a smile playing on her face. Ron blinked at her.
"Lower your voice Ron!" Harry hissed. "And what are you doing that for 'Mione?"
"Huh? Oh nothing..." she replied, grabbing a book.
"Er, Hermione, is there something you aren't telling us?" Harry asked.
"No."
"Then why are you acting weird?"
"No reason." Ron and Harry looked at each other. Girl problems. Ron sighed.
"Well when are we gonna start the plan guys?" Hermione asked cheerful, looking up from her book.
"You sure are ready to get him back 'Mione..." Harry replied.
"Mind you, she is still in love with him..." Ron replied sadly.
"Well we have to figure out who he is going out with first," Harry said to himself.
"Oh, Harry, I know who he is going out with!"
"Of course, she stares at him whenever he is in sight..." Ron said to Harry. They laughed, but Hermione didn't find it too funny.
"Oh Ronald, grow up!" Ron stopped laughing, but Harry was now on the floor about to wet himself. "And Harry... ugh, just never mind!" Hermione went back to reading.
"Well," Hermione announced, closing her book, "I am going down to breakfast."
"Okay, we're gonna go over the plan a little more..." Harry replied.
"Yeah, the look on your face told us that we had too many flaws," joked Ron. Hermione turned on her heel and left. "Did I say something?"
"Not that I know of." When Hermione disappeared, he added, "Man, she's going down a bit early huh?" The two Gryffindors went back to the planning. Soon, which was like in two minutes, they starting getting bored of it, so Ron started making his own mock plan. Harry seen how interesting it was, and copied him. In 5 minutes, they came up with a dozen or more bizarre ideas to get Hermione back with Draco. Some of them seemed pretty realistic to them though.
Plan A. Hermione goes up to girlfriend. Hermione starts talking crap to girlfriend. Girlfriend gets mad. Start fighting. When Malfoy comes, Hermione pretends to be getting beaten up by girlfriend. Malfoy comforts Hermione and they start making out. Ron's face turned pale. "Ugh, them two kissing?" Girlfriend gets mad and gets dumped by Malfoy. Hermione is happy again.
Plan B. Put a spell on Malfoy while he is sleeping. He falls in love with Hermione. Girlfriend catches them together and goes away. Hermione is happy again.
Plan C. Malfoy gets eaten by a shark. He realizes that he loves Hermione, and shouldn't have broken up with her. Gets puked out, and sent into the Giant Squid. There he realizes that he needs to get Hermione back. Then he gets re-sorted into Hufflepuff. There he realizes that he needs help. Hermione is happy.
Plan D. Turn Draco psycho. He gets back together with Hermione. They have big fight and break up. Draco gets sent to St. Mungo's. Hermione is happy.
"Er, Ron?" Harry asked uncertainly. "How would that make Hermione happy?"
"Because she realizes she doesn't need him."
"Oh." Harry looked at Ron.
Plan E. Hermione spies on Girlfriend and Draco for a while. She starts hanging out with girlfriend for a while. Slowly gets girlfriend and Malfoy mad at each other and they break up. But before Malfoy can ask Hermione out, he asks girlfriend back out. Hermione kills girlfriend and gets Malfoy. Hermione is happy.
"Wow, Ron. Twisted mind."
"Why thank you Harry."
Plan F. Malfoy gets arm ripped off by girlfriend. Realizes she isn't for him. Goes back to Hermione. She doesn't take him back because of arm. He gets a new one, and she goes back out with them. Hermione is happy.
Plan G. Malfoy gets a bad prediction. Gets sent to Pluto for 9 days. Malfoy dies there. Comes back to Hogwarts. Gets ported to a graveyard, and is forced to find out who S. I. J. is. Comes back, w/o a knee. Gets kicked out of Hogwarts, but comes back. Hermione and him go out after he gets a new knee. Hermione is happy.
"This one's not bad...", Ron said, pointing at Plan G. " Wait, what does Malfoy finding out who S. I. J. is have anything to do with going out with Hermione?"
"I just wanted to make him suffer in my head..." They laughed.
Plan H. Malfoy sees grim. He will die. Hermione gets omen of wealth. She will be rich. Together they see the future. They go out. Hermione is happy.
"Harry, I think Trelawney is rubbing off on you," Ron said fearfully.
"No, I just felt like being an idiot, mate."
"Oh."
"Ron, we'd better get down to breakfast.. we're almost late!" They had been having so much fun, they didn't notice all the other students shuffling pass them. The two boys ran down to breakfast. They took their usual seats, and Ron noticed Ginny was acting very happy, and Hermione was glaring at her every now and then.
"Er, 'Mione?" he asked. "Are you okay?"
"Yes." Hermione looked away from Ginny.
''Ah yu shore?" Harry asked through a mouthful of breakfast.
"Um, yes," she said as she got up to leave. "I am finished, and I have to go back to the Common Room. As she was walking up to the Girl's Dormitories, she noticed a pile of parchment lying on the ground.
"Idiots, " she muttered as she went to pick the pieces up. Naturally, she decided to read what was on the parchment. Are these Harry and Ron's plans? she thought, looking through them. That one is totally unbelievable! Hey, that one might not be too bad...
She neatly arranged the pile of parchment together and continued up to the Dorms. As she was getting her books, a cat ran by and she tripped over it, sending parchment everywhere.
"Oof!" she cried as she landed hard on the ground. She quickly got up, and retrieved the parchment, keeping a few pieces and setting them on her night stand. Hermione noticed Plan E and picked it up and reread it. She placed it on her night stand with the blank parchment, and hurried off to class, neatly setting the parchment on a passing table as she left.
