Chapter 9 - The Troubles with the Dragon
The next morning, Hermione laid in her bed soaking up the fact that it's Saturday. She
thought about her life so far at Hogwarts. This was her last year; she needed to make
the most of it. She decided to make a list of resolutions. Hermione swung her feet
over the side of her bed and stood up and stretched. She made her way to her books
and picked up a piece of parchment and a quill. She lowered herself onto the carpet
and dipped the quill into ink.
Resolutions for my 7th year at Hogwarts:
~Keep up my academic standards as top of the class
At this point Hermione nibbled on the quill and thought. What else was there she
wanted to do. In the past years, school was her life. But this year she had to think
differently. Something different, something new. She turned over and looked up at the
ceiling. Now it was sky blue, with a few wispy clouds here and there.
~Fall in love
That wasn't too hard, she was already in love with Draco, but it was forced love
because of the spell. She dipped the quill in ink again and added:
~Fall in love and be loved in return
There, that was her challenge. Carefully, she folded up the parchment and tucked it
into her diary. Yawning, she walked over to her closet and switched on the light. The
closet hangers looked like they were made of vines. She picked a pair of white flared
jeans and a light pink baby tee. Holding her clothes, she opened her door and stepped
out into the hallway. No one else seemed to be up yet. She twisted the doorknob to the
bathroom and was just about to step in when she heard a yell.
"Don't come in!"
Gasping, Hermione shut the door with a bang and muttered an apology. Two minutes
later, a very steamy looking Draco came out and pretended not to see Hermione. She
couldn't help but notice how good he looked with wet, spiky hair plastered on his
head. She went in the bathroom and locked the door. Why doesn't he ever lock the
door? Shaking her head, she peeled off her jammies and turned on the shower. In
seconds it became hot since Draco just recently used it. She could still smell the
shampoo he used lingering in the air. After her shower, she quickly got dressed and
brushed her teeth. She heard a knock halfway through brushing and went to open the
door. A sleepy looking Justin greeted her half heartily. He stumbled in and picked up
his toothbrush. Hermione took out her hairdryer just as Blaise and Harry walked in
chatting about Potions.
"Morning Herms!" Harry said then turned back to Blaise.
When her hair was completely dry, she combed it out and expertly did it into a French
braid just like Ginny taught her.
"Hey Hermione, mind if you go and drag Padma out of bed? I think she's still in deep
slumber," Justin joked.
Hermione smiled and made her way to Padma's room. Thinking that she'd be asleep,
Hermione went in without knocking. What she saw next scarred her for life; there on
Padma's bed were her and Draco lying on top each other, making out.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She gasped and turned to shut the door, the second time today.
"So? Is she up?" Justin asked as she passed him.
"You don't want to know," she muttered.
How long have they been, been together? The feeling she got when she looked at
them was so unexplainable. It was something she'd never felt before. But then again,
she's never been in love either. The only feeling she could come up with was jealousy.
Pure, green envy.
Hermione made her way down Padma's staircase and slumped into the Gryffindor
colored couch, still a bit dazed.
"So, it seems that you keep on witnessing private things today Granger," Malfoy's
distinctive voice said behind her.
"Sadly yes," she sighed. "Are you and Padma. . . "
". . . together? A couple? No, that was just for fun."
Hermione spun around to face him and glared.
"Just for fun? Misleading an innocent girl to believing you really like her, just for
fun?"
"Precisely."
"Ugh, I can't believe you!" But deep inside, for some reason Hermione didn't feel as
mad as she sounded.
"Well it's not like you've had any experience with this kind of thing, considering all
you take to bed with you are books," he sneered.
Hermione's jaw fell open and she stomped out of the common room. How dare he
treat me like that? Oh, he makes me so mad!
She decided to head to the Gryffindor Common Room to visit Ginny and Ron. As she
stepped in, she found that Harry was already there playing Exploding Snap with Ron.
Ginny was writing furiously on a piece of parchment and looked up when she heard
the portrait open. Seeing Hermione, she grinned and rushed over to pull her into
Ginny's dorm.
"Oh Mione! I'm so glad you came!"
"Yea, well Malfoy got on my nerves so I decided to visit my best bud."
"He got on your nerves? But don't you 'love' him?"
"Well I guess I 'do', but still it feels so awkward being fuming mad, but also, well,
not." Hermione fidgeted. "It's hard to explain."
Ginny nodded uncertainly. "Well there's TONS to tell you!"
Hermione laughed as the young girl squirmed with words.
"Well first of all, I heard Ron and Harry talking yesterday. Harry asked him if he's
still in love with you." Ginny paused.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and waited for her to continue.
"Ok, so Ron turned a really silly shade of red and started complaining about the curse
and how unfair it was. Well Harry got kind of agitated 'cause he wasn't answering his
question and told Ron to get to the point. Then Ron just simply said I don't know.
Harry wasn't happy with the answer, so he urged Ron to elaborate. Ron said
something about liking you on and off, but not as much as before."
Ginny stopped to take a breath.
"Well then Harry, being so wonderfully smart sensed that there was something Ron
wasn't telling him and told him that. Then Ron turned even redder, which made me
burst out laughing and I had to pretend I was laughing at my Potions book which is
hilarious cause there's nothing funny about Potions,"
"Ginny! Girl, you're blabbing about something totally off track!"
"Oh right, well like I was saying, Ron turned really red and muttered something.
Harry started laughing and told Ron that he was awful at hiding things. So then Ron
told Harry, ok you won't believe this, but he told Harry that he liked someone else. A
lot. So Harry pestered him for about five minutes before Ron blew up and yelled
Lavender alright? It's Lavender! Luckily she wasn't there nor was her gossip queens.
So anyways, I was talking to Lavender last night and asked for her opinion of Ron.
She started giggling like crazy and I had to shut her up before she woke up the whole
dorm, so I threw a pillow in her face and she threw hers in mine and,"
Hermione gave her another 'You're getting off topic' look.
"Oh right, well anyways so after the whole pillow thing, I asked her again and she
whispered to me that she thought Ron was awfully cute and that she's starting to
fancy him."
"Well that's great Gin! They both like each other! A perfect match," Hermione said.
"True, but Ron's way to shy to make the first move."
"Right. Hmm, how about they get some help?"
"What do you mean Herms?"
"How about you and me play matchmakers and match them up. They're definitely
made for each other."
"Ooh! Mione that's a brilliant idea! Tomorrow. Tomorrow our mission begins."
Hermione nodded and waved goodbye to Ginny.
When she entered her common room, she found all the Prefects, Draco and
Dumbledore.
"Ah, Miss Granger. We were all waiting for you," Dumbledore said in his usual calm
voice.
Hermione quickly took a seat beside Padma.
"I'm here to tell you about this year's Halloween Masquerade Ball."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"You all know that Masquerade Balls are totally anonymous. You will be changing
your appearance and wearing a mask so no one knows who you are. This year, we're
doing it a bit differently. Everyone, fourth years and up of course, will be secretly
assigned dates. Draco and Hermione, your job is to pair up each grade with a partner.
Keep it totally anonymous and don't tell anyone. Prefects and Heads will be paired by
myself. Prefects will have the job of decorating the Great Hall. Now, we have already
purchased costumes. Matching costumes for each pair that the Heads will match up.
On the day of the Ball, the costumes will be delivered to their rooms and a little clue
will be given to them to find their dates. For example it will say something like 'Find
the Prince in Green'."
Hermione understood this and nodded her head will the others took a bit longer to
register the information.
"This is all I have to say. I will repeat what I told you tonight at dinner for the rest of
the students. Draco, Hermione, here are the names of all the students from fourth year
and up and their houses. Prefects, start planning the decorations. I will return to
collect the paired names and decoration ideas by the end of next week. Have fun!"
With that, Dumbledore disapparated with a snap.
"Wow, I personally like the new idea of the Ball," Hermione said.
"Same here. I think it's really neat," Padma agreed.
The others nodded.
"Well Draco, I think we should get started," Hermione said to her fellow Head.
"Now? We have the whole bloody week! I'm not in the mood to work with you right
now," was his reply with a sneer.
Hermione groaned with disgust and stomped into her room. What is wrong with
him? How can he be so damn hot and have such a cold attitude? UGH!
That night at dinner, as Dumbledore announced the details to the other students,
Hermione was still thinking about Draco. The students excitedly whispered among
themselves. She glanced around the room and her gaze stopped at Ron. She made a
mental note to pair up Ron with Lavender. Who would Dumbledore pair her up with?
Harry? That was quite possible. Her with Harry, Padma with Justin, and Draco with
Blaise. That made sense to her. Although inside she hoped she was paired up with
Draco. 'Just the curse, just the curse' she reminded herself after realizing what she just
hoped for.
"Hey Hermione, do you think floating pumpkins or floating candles are better?"
Harry asked, turning to her.
"Why not both?" She replied not really caring.
Harry said something afterwards but Hermione didn't hear. She was too busy
watching the silver haired Head Boy eat his steak in perfect manner. Knife in his right
hand, fork in his left. Cutting the meat in little bit size shapes, he ate with his mouth
closed, and swallowed before taking a sip of his pumpkin ale. Oh, if only he
would love me, everything would be perfect.
Hermione walked back to her Common Room slowly, watching her feet trudge along.
Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. She glanced back and saw Draco walking
briskly, hands in his pockets. She smoothed out her turtleneck sweater and tilted her
head up, walking confidently, swinging her hips a bit. When she heard him coming
closer, she flicked her smooth hair out and prayed that he caught a whiff of her fruity
shampoo. Suddenly she felt a hand run down her back and she stiffened. Draco
walked by just after that and sped up around the corner. Hermione smiled slightly and
quickened her pace. When she entered the Common Room, Draco was lying on the
Slytherine couch flipping through a book. He didn't even look up as she entered.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and went to sit on the Gryffindor couch, pulling out her
own book. After two minutes of silence, Draco sighed loudly and threw his book over
his shoulder. The book landed on the ground with a thud that made Hermione look up
at him. He had a weird expression on his face. Halfway between a smirk and smile.
Slowly he walked over to her and gazed down as she pretended not to care. Then he
snatched away her book, causing Hermione to gasp and he pulled her up. They were
now standing inches away. She could smell his cologne and he could smell her
flowery scent. He leaned in and teasingly brushed his soft lips against hers.
Hermione's breath quickened and her heart sped up. Draco wrapped his arms around
her waist and pulled her in, filling in the space that was between them. He kissed her
softly and then hard. Hermione, once she was over her surprise returned the kiss. A
warm chill (lol) ran down her spine as his hands roamed her back. She loved every
second of it. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pushed her body up against his.
Then suddenly he pulled away. Hermione gasped for breath and stared at him in
wonder. Draco wiped his mouth and sneered.
"Like that Granger? It's something you'll never have mudblood."
Hermione filled with rage and yelled, "What on earth is wrong with you? You just
kiss me to make me jealous?! What kind of threat is that?"
"I didn't say I was trying to make you jealous. I'm just proving that it's something
you'll never have. Dream on my pretty."
"Fine, be an inconsiderable git. You're a horrible kisser anyways." The first part was
true, the latter, well not so true.
"I'll never be as bad as you. You're worse than Pansy."
Hermione glared at the Draco and made a loud noise that sounded something like
'Arguh! and stomped into her room. As Hermione madly went up her stairs, Draco
went up his as well. Padma and Justin entered the common room just in time to hear
two doors slam, one after the other. The two exchanged identical looks and shrugged.
Draco and Hermione always get into fights anyways. Little did they know, Hermione
was bawling her eyes out and Draco was determined to break everything in his room
at that same moment.
I don't think the last part quite made sense, but bear with me here. So, I NEED
REVIEWS!!!! I've probably reminded you guys billions of times that it's probably
drilled into your heads, but that's a good thing! For me, anyways. I need them like air,
like er. like, food and water? Anyways, just review and I'll stop tearing out my hair.
Thanks! (WOW, 30 pages on my Word! P.S. 2583 WORDS!!!!)
