Synopsis: Draco's up, and he and Hermione are getting back in the swing of
things. They decided to stay at Hogwarts over the break ~grins slyly~ So,
here we are.
A/N: I AM SO INCREDIBLY SORRY!!!!!!!!! I AM A HORRIBLE LOPOTTER!! Sigh, BUT now I'm done with exams, and I can stay up late at home and write, whilst talking to Squin online, of course *snort* And this chapter isn't too grand.. more A/N at the end
While Draco was unconscious, Hermione had managed to keep up on her work. Unfortunately, now that he was awake, he needed lots of help catching up. Since it was the most convenient for him to ask Hermione, he did.
"Hmmmm, so I save your life, twice, and NOW I have to pretty much go back over all of the work I did while tending to you, and help you with it?"
"Look, are you going to help me, or just sit around taking the mick forever?"
"A-ti-tuuude! Yes, Prince Draco, I'll help you. What should we work on first?"
"Transfiguration?"
"Sure. OK, we've been working on transfiguring things that have been transfigured twice. Oh, are you in Group One or Group Two?
"Don't patronize me, Group Two."
"Ah, well, in that case, you're working on transforming a tawny owl, that used to be a snowy owl, that used to be a screech owl, into a standard barn owl."
"I'm NEVER going to need to know how to do that when I'm working for the Ministry!"
"I think you mean, if, chappy. All right, let's go."
In the Gryffindor Common Room, Ron and Harry were preoccupied, carefully examining the Marauder's Map. Their concentration broke sporadically, when muffled yells came in through Hermione's portrait.
"So, this passage behind the portrait of Horatio the Horned also goes to the kitchens? Nice!"
"Yeah, and this one behind Tograff the Tortured-"
"Will you quit it? The barn owl should be BROWN not BLUE, you prat!" Hermione's voice, softer but still screechy interrupted Ron and Harry's conversation.
"God, Granger! Maybe if you weren;'t hovering over me like a damn hawk, I'd get it."
"I am not hovering, and don't you call me Granger, Malfoy, this is the umpteenth time I've saved your arse in the past three weeks!"
Ron and Harry laughed at the sound of the very indignant Hermione, imagining her staring at Malfoy, with her wand pointed at his head.
"Should we tell her, Harry, or leave her to figure it out?"
"Nah, this is going to be too much fun. But, I grant you, if they kill eachother first, I'll feel bad," he laughed.
"Mmmmm, perhaps. But this is too much fun to interrupt, frankly!"
"Oh, I'M sorry Hermione, did me not becoming a Death Eater inconvenience you? Maybe I'll just go tell good ol' Voldemort that I'd like to join now. That'd be a great idea!"
"I bet Voldemort knows the difference between BLUE and BROWN at least!"
By this point, the other people in the common room were glancing at the portrait. It was not an every-day occurrence to hear the Head Girl and Boy having a screaming match.
"Um, Harry, do you think we should tell them that half the school can hear them?"
"I think that might be a good idea. Let's go."
So, Harry and Ron left the common room, and walked to the Founders' portrait.
"Look, Hermione, can you PLEASE just repeat the spell a bit slower?"
"For the love of- I've said it ten times!"
Harry rapped loudly on the door.
"Who IS it?" Both of their voices rang loudly through the portrait.
"Er, Harry and Ron," Harry answered cautiously.
Hermione swung the portrait open, her eyes were glaring and her face was red. She instantly slapped on a large, fake smile.
"Yeeees?" she said sweetly.
"Er, we just thought you two should know that everyone in the Gryffindor common room can hear you two yelling.Harryt's I'd imagine everyone in Slytherin can, too." Harry said hesitantly.
"Well, maybe if Draco would stop messing about with everything and actually pay attention!"
"Well, maybe if Hermione could dig up some patience!! We can't all be as naturally talented at all things magical as the illustrious Hermione Granger," Draco yelled out from the study.
Hermione turned and glared at Draco, "I'm glad you realize that, at the very least," she said crisply.
"All right," Ron said, "I've had about enough of this for one day." He grabbed Hermione's arm, and pulled her down into her chair. He then pushed Draco back in to his.
"What the Hell, Weasley?"
"Ron, what do you think you're doing?"
"Will you two just shut up for ONE second?!" Draco and Hermione both crossed their arms over their chests, and looked very grumpy.
"Hermione, why don't you tell me what your problem is?" Ron said.
"I'm doing my best trying to help him, and he's doing nothing but goofing around, turning owls blue! NOT to mention that I could be doing an extra credit assignment for Professor Binns, I do not NEED to help him, nor am I enjoying it!"
Draco began to protest, but Ron cut him off. "Draco, why don't you tell me what YOUR problem is now?"
"Well, I'm trying the best I can, but she's going through everything so quickly, I'm having a hared time keeping up! And I didn't realize I was being such a nuisance, I'm not trying to piss her off."
"Ha!" Hermione exclaimed.
"OK, ok, ok, just cut it out. Hermione, maybe if you slowed down, then Draco would get it faster, so you could get started on your work. Draco, you should try to pay closer attention, so Hermione doesn't have to go over it so many times. Does that sound fair?"
He looked at the both of them, and they nodded reluctantly.
"Now," Ron said with an air of satisfaction, "say you're sorry."
"I am NOT apologizing to him!"
"There's no WAY I'm apologizing to her!"
"Do it, or I'll put a charm on all of your portraits so you're both locked in here till you're dead or friends!" Ron exclaimed.
Hermione and Draco glared at Ron. "Sorry," they both mumbled to eachother.
"Now, may we leave and trust that you'll both be alive in the morning?" Harry asked them, laughing.
Hermione shot Harry a sassy look, "Yes, Mister Potter, I think we'll live."
"Brilliant! All right, then, mates, we'll be off!"
Harry and Ron walked out with smug smiles on their face. Outside of the portrait hole, Ron turned to Harry, laughing.
"What a bunch of nutters!" (A/N: FOR SQUIN!!)
Harry smiled and shook his head, "You know, I've had the Darkwing Duck theme song in my head all day."
"Darkwing Duck?"
"Ehhh, it's a Muggle thing, you wouldn't understand."
Harry and Ron walked back to the common room, and resumed their plotting.
Meanwhile, back in the Head Boy and Girl's study...
"So, Draco," Hermione said with her teeth clenched, "You must remember to enunciate, speak more slowly."
Draco forced a smile back, "Of course, thank you Hermione."
"Well, if I may, I am going to leave you to practice now, I must head up to the library."
Draco nodded, and cleared his throat. "Uhh, ok, er, thank you."
Hermione looked over at Draco, "You're welcome," she said in a clipped tone, and left.
Draco sighed, and turned to his owl, "Swish and flick!" he mumbled under his breath.
