Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Xxink-blotxX - I would love to be a beta for you, can you be one for me for this fic because a lot of reviews have picked up on my bad grammar and spelling and my computer is bad at it too, it needs to make its mind up and spell in English and not use the American way of spelling. I'm also looking for ideas for a fic of mine called 'played for a fool' because I made it a one-shot and lots of people said that they wanted to see it carry on and so I got thinking that I should and would like to continue the fic, its just a general humour fic about the trio and friends, basically everyone in the school since it's a general fic. One person said to make it a romance between Draco and Hermione but I don't know, so please if you can give me any suggestions please do so. And I like smartie cookies best. Lol. This chapter is all for you for been so great.

This chapter is dedicated to Xxink-blotxX.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you to all my other great reviewers, I love you all.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chapter 5 - Max and Ed

When Draco woke the next morning Hermione had already gone, since he was later to get up. He realized that he had slept through breakfast and was running late for potions.

He quickly showered and got dressed, picked up his school things and ran out the door.

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Malfoy" Snape drawled "As much as I hate to do this but 20 points from Slytherin" Draco nodded and took his seat next to Blaise Zabini.

"Zabini I got to talk to you" he said, Blaise nodded and turn his attention back to Snape. Draco looked around the class and saw Harry and Ron glaring at Hermione, who wasn't paying any attention to them.

"Look at her" Ron said

"How can she ware that skirt, even Lavender doesn't have it as short as that" Harry mumbled. Draco over heard the conversation and looked at Hermione, who was stood at the ingredients shelf looking for the ingredients she needed to make the potion that they had been told to make.

Hermione's skirt was well above knee height, which was the standard for the school. Draco glanced around at the male members of the class; all were looking over at her as she stood on her tiptoes to reach the top shelf. Even Blaise was looking in her direction, Draco wasn't happy with the male members of the class.

"Blaise, stop it" he said hushed

"What's the matter Draco, want her for yourself?" he teased

"Yeah, as a matter of fact" Blaise's head shot round to look at Draco who was looking deadly serious, because he was. Over the weeks he and Hermione had become more than friends, to him. She was a very attractive woman and the only one who didn't want to jump into his pants when they saw him, at least he didn't think so, but he had hoped.

"Malfoy, I think we got to talk"

"I already said that we do" Draco said looking down at the potions ingredients on a list he had.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Spill" Blaise said at lunchtime when he and Draco finished lunch early and decided to take a walk down to the forbidden forest.

"Spill what?" he asked innocently as he pushed a strand of hair out of his eyes

"Oh, please, the greatest muggle hater starts to like a mudblood and there's nothing to tell"

"Don't call her that ok"

"Draco, we've known each other since we were what...2"

"Ok, ok, ok. Me and Hermione-"

"Oh its Hermione now is it"

"Do you want to know or not?" Blaise nodded "Me and Hermione have been getting close lately" once again Draco was interrupted by Blaise who smirked and added a little "get in there mate" under his breath. Draco hit his arm and continued

"Not like that, were friends, I cant and wont tell you why, but she needs me and I'm going to be there for her, ok?"

"If its what you want"

"It is, like I said she needs me, and don't tell anyone"

"Draco, like I said" he mocked "we've been friends since we were 2" Draco nodded and continued walking while Blaise turned and went back to the castle.

OOOOOOOOOOO

"You going out tonight?" Draco asked Hermione that night, already knowing the answer

"I am, but I'm going clubbing, no sex, no hanky panky, just good clean fun" she said looking at herself in the mirror

"You look nice" Draco said looking her up and down, Hermione had her hair curled a little; she wore white knee length boots with a black mini skirt and white boob tube.

"Thank you, Draco" she said walking towards him "If you want to wait for me you can do"

"Do you want me to?"

"If you like" Hermione kissed his cheek "Thank you Draco" she said stepping into the fireplace "STEPS" she said dropping the floo power. Draco looked around the room before running up to his room.

He entered his room and threw off his robe; under it he wore a pair of indigo jeans and a white Oxford shirt. He quickly ran a hand full of gel into his hair and ran back down to the common room.

"STEPS" he said dropping a hand full of floo power into the fire, green flames engulfed him and he vanished.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He stepped out of a large fireplace in an empty storeroom. Looking around he saw nothing, but he heard loud music. He walked over to the only door in the room and opened it a little, he saw Hermione making her way across the club over to the bar.

Silently he stepped out of the room and went to stand by the bar at the other side to where Hermione was stood. Draco watched her like a hawk for a few minutes before she moved away with a bottle in her hand.

Hermione looked around the club and saw who she was looking for, Max. She made her way over to him and kissed him on the cheek as he met her.

"Dance with me" she said joyfully pulling him on to the dance floor

"Ed, you know what to do" Max said to his friend while Hermione pulled him on to the dance floor. Ed nodded and looked over to where Draco was stood, but then turned away and looked around the club.

Hermione pulled Max to the middle of the dance floor where she started to dance with him. Max put his hands on her hips and she put her hands on his hands and they danced together.

Draco watched the two until they pulled away, Hermione said something to Max and went back to the bar where she was immediately served. Draco watched Hermione walked back to Max with the drinks and they sat down together.

After drinking the drinks Hermione got, Max turned to talk to Ed,

"Any one?" Max asked

"Him over there" Ed nodded in the direction of Draco, who didn't see this, he was too busy looking at Hermione. Max saw Draco looking at Hermione and nodded

"I saw him too"

"You want me to take care of him?" Ed asked

"Yeah, ill distract her" Max said turning to Hermione and asked her to dance, Hermione nodded and jumped to her feet dragging Max to the dance floor.

Ed waited until Max gave him the nod and then he made his way to the bar, where Draco was stood.

"Outside now" Ed said and took Draco by the arm and dragged him through the door labelled exit.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
