Unexpected Love
Chapter 3: Lame Excuse
--------------------
Harry and Ron appeared at the common room. Hermione who waited for them for over 30 minutes, approached them.
"So, have you packed your things?" Harry asked
"Yeah..." Hermione said almost lifeless.
"What did Professor Dumbledore told you?" She asked, wanting to know what business they had with the headmaster.
Harry and Ron were silent for a moment.
"What?" Hermione asked the two who seems to be afraid to tell the news...
"Uhmm, Hermione, Dumbledore said that...that to...to...keep an eye on you and Malfoy..." Ron finally said.
"That's it?" Hermione asked.
"He also said that you are not allowed in the girl's dormitory and you're forbidden to stay long here in the common room or else-" Harry said but Hermione cut him off.
"Or else what?" Hermione said, looking serious this time.
"We'll be punished too." Ron said.
"Oh...ok, don't worry...I'll do what Dumbledore said... "
I'd better think of my friends' sake first, they should not be involve in this problem...it's my fault, if it's not for my foolishness...
"Glad you understand..." Harry said.
"Mind if you accompany me to the tower?" Hermione asked
"Not at all." Harry and Ron smiled.

Hermione walked inside the room that she will share with Draco...
"It seems nice..." She said as she observes the room.
The room is visibly neat and clean. There are two beds. A small side-table is placed between the beds, and white curtains are properly hanged on the windows.
She sat on one of the beds and felt that it's pretty comfortable.
"How does it feel, you know... having a new room?" Ron asked, pretty amused. Though his real intention was to make Hermione feel better.
"It's sure comfortable...and peaceful" Hermione smiled at her two best friends.
"Peaceful, without malfoy..." Harry said.
Hermione grinned."Want to come inside?" She then offered.
"Sure!" Ron said with excitement.
--
"Ahem..." Draco interrupted with his fake cough. This surprised Harry and Ron.
"I believe that you aren't allowed in my room." Draco said Sarcastically.
"Did I just hear you say, your room? Oh please...As If!" Hermione snapped.
"Shut up, Mudblood! I wasn't talking to you!" Draco barked.
"You can go now..." Draco said to Harry and Ron, as well as to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Their not dogs to 'shoo' them around!" Hermione defended Harry and Ron. Draco glared at her furiously. Hermione glared back, showing no fear to the Malfoy heir.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Draco threatened her. He was sure humiliated in front of his two other enemies and to his 'second bananas'.
"What? Are you going tell you daddy about this?" Hermione said insulting the blonde-haired boy.
"You Filthiest Mudblood!" Draco shouted, pulling out his wand and pointing it to Hermione.
"You are the most stupid brat ever! " Hermione yelled, doing the same thing. Before they knew it, Dumbledore was standing right in front of them.
--
"Ahh...just practicing." Draco said looking troubled the moment he saw Dumbledore's face.
"Yeah...right...practicing..." Hermione nodded.
"Practicing for what? Please do enlighten me." Dumbledore asked with his brows raised.
"Uhmm...practicing for...a...role play." Hermione replied, hoping that Dumbledore will believe her.
'What are you thinking, Granger...that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard...' Draco thought but he didn't show any reaction on what Hermione said. 'Just ride with it...' He told Himself.
Still, Dumbledore wasn't convinced...
"Guess you don't believe us, do you, Professor?" Hermione said.
"I believe no. You seem to realize now that I was not easy to be fooled…" Dumbledore said eyeing Hermione.
"Sorry, Professor..." Hermione said with her face down.
"You two will stay at your room and will not come out until dinner...Your door will be magically locked and will open automatically at dinner time...You do have time to solve that problem of yours..." Dumbledore said coldly and strode downstairs together with Harry, Ron, Crabbe and Goyle.
