Divine Fates

Chapter Three

Accidents – Hermione

He was avoiding me that was very obvious. Ever since my whole retaliation against him finally, I rarely ever saw him except for classes. In a way, I was glad that I had finally pinned something on the all-famous Malfoy. At the same time, I felt a little guilty. He looked pissed all the time. I had never seen him like that either. Sure, Draco wasn't exactly known for his nice temperament, but at the same time, his so-called 'friends' didn't even talk to him. Except for Pansy of course, she was suddenly attached to his arm all the time, throwing dirty looks at me.

That wasn't unusual though, Pansy hated me simply because I was dormed up Draco. If it were her, she'd be able to sneak into his room at all hours of the night just to attack him for sex. I figured that was another reason he was so pissed. Even I would have never doomed Draco to have to spend so much time around the Slytherin whore. But so far today, I hadn't seen Draco. When I woke up, Draco had already left, which seemed a little odd because it was early to begin with. Then again, I didn't remember hearing him come in either.

" 'Mione are you okay?" I broke out of my daze to see Ginny, Harry, and Ron staring at me worriedly. I smiled a little and shrugged weakly. " Just a little upset. I'm paired off with Draco for potions and I haven't seen him all morning. In fact, I haven't really seen him all week. He's skipping out on potions." Ron snorted softly and leaned back a little. " You should know that he'd probably leave you to do all the work. Pansy is doing the same thing to Harry."

Harry groaned slightly, rubbing his temples. " When she IS around, she just tries to order me around. But come to think of it, I haven't seen her either today. They're probably still down in the Slytherin common rooms snogging over last night." I wrinkled my nose a little, the thought of that made my stomach turn. But not for exactly a bad reason, my mind couldn't help but remember what Draco's chest looked like bare. I slapped my palm against my forehead and stood up. " I'm going to head back up to my room to get my books, so I can get ahead in potions… it's going to take me twice as long for the whole project."

Ron grinned and pointed at Harry." Why don't you and Harry work on the potions together, and just split it on due date? That way everyone still gets a good grade." Harry smiled a little hopefully at me, but I shook my head. " Snape would kill us if he found out. Besides, it'd be kind of obviously only having half of what everyone else gets." Ron groaned and nodded a little. " Later you guys."


I slammed my bedroom door behind me, pulling a small kit off the top of my desk and pushed open the door to the bathroom. Putting the kit on the top of sink top, I opened it, searching for the right lip-gloss. " Bloody asshole of a prat, leaving me to do ALL the work while he goes off snogging and screwing his whore. Then again, what else should I expect? He is Malfoy after all…" I had no problems hissing my problems out at the mirror. I had no guts to say it to Draco's face; otherwise he might actually think I'm jealous.

Maybe a small sliver of me was, I mean, Draco was known as the Sex God of Slytherin. Everyone wanted a piece of him, even those who hated him. I suppose just that small part of me felt the same way, however I was glad that's all it was. Hitting on Draco would just be… god; it'd be freaky, flirting with my worst enemy. I sighed and started to dig through the kit, looking for the blush. I had discovered make-up over the summer too, but I never over did it. Just a little bit here and there, lipstick was something I refused to touch. Lip-gloss was enough.

As I pulled out my blush, I heard something squeak behind me. As I whirled around, the shower curtain pulled back and I was faced with a rather drop dead sight. He must have forgotten to lock my door on my side, but luckily he had a towel loosely wrapped low along his waist. My jaw nearly hit the floor, in both in embarrassment and shock. Draco stood before me, dripping wet, skin flushed from hot water, and of course, his classic smirk on his face. " I suppose you're referring to Pansy as my 'whore' am I right?"

I couldn't get my mouth to work, torn between insulting him, or slapping him. He looked over at my kit sitting on the skin before walking up to me, pulling the blush easily from my hands. " Never pegged you to be the whole 'make-up' type Granger." I growled and went to reach for it, but once again he held it over his head. I crossed my arms over my chest, trying my best not to look at his chest, which I so happened to be eye level with.

" You are the most ignorant, pushy, stuck-up asshole I have ever…" He sneered down at me, placing the blush back in my hands. " You forgot magnificent and sexy." I sputtered slightly, my cheeks turning a deeper shade of red from anger. I slammed my things back in the kit before turning to leave. " Oh and I don't think you'll be needing the blush anymore." I shot a glare at him before storming into my bedroom, slamming the door like I usually did.

" Bloody git of a ferret!"


It was my turn to avoid that asshole best I could. After running into him in the bathroom, the last thing I needed to see was him. For the moment though, I had gotten over the fact he purposely played on the fact that he had pretty much been nude. He knew I couldn't help but like what I saw, hell I'm only human. Only thing that didn't make sense to me about my own mind was WHY I had to be attracted to my worst enemy. Why couldn't it be Harry, or Ron? Or even someone else from my own house. No… it had to be the guy who lived to make my life a living hell, in the best years of my life at Hogwarts.

He seemed to enjoy it too much, just more fuel to play with me over. Even though our agreement worked most of the time, we both took our hits to annoy the other. Now I was looking for a way to get back at him. Easier said than done. I had already pissed him off by pointing out that we aren't as different as he thought. To one up that, was harder than it seemed. I rounded a corner, headed towards Snape's empty classroom to collect the items that Draco should have grabbed during missed classes. As I opened the door, I nearly dropped my book, jaw dropping again. This time, for a different reason… a rather disgusted one.

Pansy had Draco lying out across one of the long tables towards the front, however Draco didn't look very pleased. Pansy had straddled his waist and was obviously trying to work his shirt of, but he kept slapping her hands. Neither of them had noticed me either. " Pansy get OFF already, or I'm really seriously going to hit you." I could barely hear him, he was pissed… he always growled through his throat when he was. She just giggled and rolled her eyes. " Drakie you want this. You turned me down last night, so you get to have it now." Drakie? I held back a giggle and started down the stairs towards the front of the room quietly. Pansy failed to notice me, however Draco's eyes were sharper, and immeditally spotted me moving.

I actually felt sorry for him, he at least had some chivalry refusing to hit her, however it also left him open to her, and she knew it. I had already started to form a plan to help him when she finally realized he wasn't staring at her. She looked up to see me and huffed, removing her hands from his shirt to cross them over her chest. " Mudblood what in the hell are you doing in here?" I opened my mouth, trying to figure out an excuse before suddenly grinning at her. " It's my turn."

" Turn?" Both of them questioned me at the same time. I shot a sharp glare at Draco trying to get him to play along. He furrowed his brow in confusion before sighing and looking up at Pansy. " She's right. It's her turn." Pansy looked even more confused, that was rather enjoyable. " Turn for what?" While I had been planning on something along the lines of working, he was much faster, that stupid slimy brain of his. " To undress me."

I nearly fell over right there, almost sputtering again, but Pansy looked up at me as though she actually believed it. " You're going to do THAT?" My sputtering suddenly became an angry glare, but Draco just ignored me. " To be a God, I have to everyone, even the Mudblood." Pansy looked a little skeptical, but slowly crawled off him. Glaring at me yet again, she gathered her things and did her best to walk gracefully out the door. As soon as she disappeared from view, I took my book and hit him hard upside the head as he sat up.

" Fuck Granger what was that for?" He yelped and grabbed the side of his head. " For calling me a Mudblood." He stared at me like I was nuts before straightening out his shirt and pushed himself off the desk. " Well what are you doing coming into Snape's class after you've already HAD potions?" He snapped at me as though it was my fault. I growled and crossed my arms over my chest, my book clutched to my chest. " I had to come pick up the ingredients that you have yet to get the elements potion. What are you doing in here?"

He grumbled and continued to rub the side of his head. " Came in here to get the god damned ingredients. Not my fault that woman has nothing better to do than stalk me." I sighed, letting my shoulders sag and shook my head. " Just… get what you need and meet me in the library in a half hour." I didn't give him time to reply as I turned and left the classroom. Saving him was yet another pain in my ass.
