Hermoine woke up the next morning with the perfect idea. It was still early in the morning so Draco didn't hear her leaving the common room. She quickly crept through the hallways, trying not to disturb anyone, and climbed the stairs to the owlery.
She pulled a piece of parchment out and a quill along with some ink and quickly scribbled something down. She took a school owl and sent it off. She watched it fly in the direction of the Great Hall and Hermoine smiled, satisfied.
Now that she was awake, she decided to see how it would all turn out, so she walked down to the Great Hall. She sat down next to Ron who was half asleep while eating his toast. She stole a glance over at the Slytherin table, but didn't see who she was looking for.
She turned to Ron. "Why are you so tired?" She asked. Ron looked at her groggily. "Harry's turned into you. All he wants to do is study!" Ron said. "And he kept me up last night until 3 in the morning. Then Neville was snoring extremely loud which woke me up" he complained.
Hermoine wasn't really paying attention to what Ron was saying. Pansy Parkinson had just walked in and taken a seat at the Slytherin table. An owl swooped down to her, and she took the letter off, opening the letter. Hermoine watched as she became full of giggle fits, looking around.
Hermoine grinned with satisfaction as Draco walked in and Hermoine saw Pansy licking her lips seductively at him. She saw him shudder out of the corner of her eye and then he turned to look at her. If she had been looking directly at him she would've been caught in the act, but luckily she wasn't.
She watched as Draco pried Pansy off many times throughout breakfast. What was into her today, he wondered. It was then that he caught Hermoine staring at him, watching him fixedly.
He decided to take advantage of this opportunity and make a move on Pansy. It wouldn't be hard; she was already all over him. He draped his arm around Pansy and looked straight at Hermoine who had her fists balled up underneath the table. This wasn't working out how she had planned.
He whispered something in Pansy's ear which made her swoon over him even more. Definitely not what she had planned out at all. This was not how she wanted this to go. Ron looked at her frustrated look and placed his arm around her. "Hey, are you ok Hermoine?" he asked her.
Then something clicked in Hermoine's mind. She hugged herself into Ron who turned a violent shade of pink. "Ron, what would I do without you?" she asked him. "Umm, I don't know" he said. But Hermoine didn't hear him. She saw Draco's eyes narrow at her as he stroked Pansy's hair and pushed some out of her face. Now it was war.
Hermoine pulled herself away from Ron and gave him a kiss on the cheek, letting it linger. He noticed she was still rather close to him and he kissed her softly on the lips. Hermoine's eyes fluttered shut. Ron was a better kisser than she had imagined. Her hands traveled to his hair and she ran her fingers through it as the kiss deepened.
After pulling away she quickly glanced over to see Draco's reaction. It was definitely a sight to see. Both Pansy and Draco sat in their seats, hands to themselves, dumbstruck at the sight of them kissing. Everyone knew it was obvious that Ron fancied Hermoine, but no one would think that Hermoine would take action.
Hermoine turned back to Ron who was staring at her. "What just happened?" He asked her. Hermoine tore her eyes away from his to see that the whole Great Hall was looking at them, including Seamus. Great, now everyone's going to think we're a couple, Hermoine thought to herself.
"I don't know" Hermoine said. "But let's not make a big deal about it" Hermoine quickly added. Ron nodded and grabbed another piece of toast.
Hermoine looked over to the Slytherin Table to see Draco standing up, Pansy clinging to him once more, and he didn't look to happy about it. He started to walk out of the Great Hall, Pansy still following him. Good, Hermoine thought.
Draco noticed that Pansy was still following her out into the hallways. "So where do you want to go?" She asked at her attempt at being seductive.
Draco choked. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.
Pansy flipped her hair and rubbed her hands up and down his chest. "Oh Draco, don't pretend that you don't know. I got your letter this morning and I know what you want to do." She fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"What letter?" Draco asked as Pansy pulled out a folded piece of parchment out of her pocket. Draco opened it and read it through several times, become more and more angered. "Oh, she's good she is."
"Pansy, I keep thinking about last time we shagged. After breakfast let's find somewhere to do it again. I miss you and I love you. – Draco"
"Pansy, do you honestly think I'd tell you that I love you?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. Pansy thought to herself for a moment and nodded enthusiastically. Draco rolled his eyes.
He walked off leaving Pansy staring after him. He headed back to the common room and sat down on a chair, waiting for Hermoine to walk in. He still had the letter in hand.
Sure enough, she walked in moments later. "Granger, I have something of yours that I think you might want back" Draco said and handed the note to her. She faked a look of confusion as Draco walked out of the common room and to his first class.
