A Most Unexpected Love
Chapter 9: Through the Trees
Once she and Draco were seated beneath the willow, Hermione surrveyed her suroundings. She had been so engrosed in the argu- erm.. conversation between her and Draco that she hadn't really been paying attention to where she was going. It appeared that they were now quite far away from the Manor. As she looked around, Hermione noticed that they seemed to be in some sort of grove. The large willow under which they were seated was in the center of a grassy area which was surrounded by smaller trees. There werent many flowers there, just mostly grass. And there seemed to be a constant pleasant breeze flowing. The whole atmosphere was rather relaxing.
'Even though I wasn't exactly paying attention to where I was going,' Hermione thought. 'I'm almost sure I would have notices all of this.'
"Draco, is this place bewitched?"
"Very smart Hermione," Draco smiled. " I was wondering if you were going to notice."
Hermione felt a tingle in her stomach. 'Looks like I shouldn't have eaten so much Tofu.'
"If I was going to notice? Hermione teased. "I'm sure you meant to say when."
Draco chortled. "Whatever. Okay so now it's my turn. So Her-"
"Your turn? Why is it your turn. You just said that I could go first!"
"Your right, I did say that. And you just did. So now it's my turn."
"What? That wasn't my turn! I didn't even ask you a question!"
"Draaaaco.." He said in a mockingly babyish voice. " Is this place bewiitttcched?"
Hermione laughed. "Okay so maybe I did ask you a question. But I didn't know that we had started."
Now Draco was laughing. "Well we did. So now it's my turn." He was expecting another retaliation from Hermione, but to his surprise she didn't
Hermione sighed. "Okay. Fine. You go."
Draco raised his eyebrows at her in surprise. "Okay.. so Hermione, " Draco decided he would keep the questions light at first. "What house did you want to be sorted into."
Hermione was surpised. "Interesting that you asked that. I was expecting something more like.. 'Hermione,' She teased in a caveman voice. 'You you wear thong or granny panties.' She waggled her eyebrows at him.
Draco laughed. "Well actually, that was going to be my next question."
"Okay. Well actually when the sorting hat was put on my head, as you probably would have guessed, I asked him to put me in Ravenclaw. But he wouldn't. Actually we had our selves a nice little argument going on for a bit. I wanted to be in Ravenclaw, or at least Hufflepuff. But Gryffyndor? But the hat wouldn't change his mind. So I figured, 'Oh well. As long as it wasn't Slytherin... No offense!' she quickly added.
"None taken."
"Okay... so Draco." She thought for a moment, thinking back to her earlier question. "Were you the one who bewitched this place?"
"Why? Do you like it?"
"Sorrrryy," she said in a sing-songy voice. "No answering questions with other qestiooonnnsss,"
"Well, you didn't say that before."
"Sorry Draco. I must have underestimated you. I would have thought that the smartest student in Slytherin would have already taken it for a given."
Draco smirked at her. "So you think I'm the smartest in Slytherin then ehh?"
"Hey, I'm asking the questions here."
He let out a fake exasperated sigh. "Fine. Erm... what was the question again?"
" I asked you where you the one who bewitched it."
"Right.. No"
There was a long pause. Hermione looked at him expectantly.
"What are you staring at!?"
"Well...? Arent you going to finish?"
"Finish what?"
"Draco!!" Hermione was begining to get annoyed. "Finish the bowl of soup I made you."
Draco's face scrunched up in confusion. "What bowl of soup? Bloody hell Hermione what are you talking about?"
"The question Draco just an-"
"What bloody bowl of soup are you talking about? I dont s-"
This was ridiculous. How could one as smart as Draco get so confused over something as silly as this? Hermione began to laugh. "Never mind the bloody soup Draco just finish what you were saying."
Draco began to shake his head at her as if she was some poor, misguided creature. " Hermione what are you talking about. I finished what i was saying. You asked me if I was the one who bewitched this area and I said no. What more do you want?
"Draco you can't just give me a one word answer! You have to expand."
He turned to her defiantly. "Now now Hermione. You can't just go adding rules in whenever you please."
Hermione rolled her eyes. She wasnt about to start another row over something as silly as this. Insteas, she had a better idea.
"Fine fine Draco. I'll let you get your way this time. Okay?
"Let me?" Draco teased her. Let me? Now wait just one minute. There is not a girl in this world who would let Draco Ahrias Malfoy do an-"
But Draco had been thrown to the ground. Before Draco could get a chance to recover, Hermione straddled his body with a playful sneer. "Shutup Ferretboy." Draco could have easily overpowered her, but Hermione sprang off of him before he had a chance to react.
"Where do you think you're going?" He called after her?
"Where ever I please!" she called back behind her as she sprinted into the trees.
Draco's POV.
Hermione rushed into the trees and Draco was quick to follow. For being a girl, she sure was fast. But of course, Draco was faster. Even though she had a head start he would catch up to her in no time. As he sped on, the many trees he rushed past became nothing more than a blur. As they ran deeped and deeper into the trees, a happy giggle would come drifting to him from somewhere in front of him
'Surely she can't keep this pace up for much longer.'
Now he could hear the sounds of the trees crackin and she darted through them. She may have been faster, but his strides were longer. He was getting nearer. He called out. "Do you even know where you are Hermione?"
A loud piercing squeal came in responce.
'Oh shit. '
"Hermione!!!"
