Hermione had succeeded in avioding Draco for the whole weekend. She had made sure that he was out of the common room before she left her own room and if she saw him she would hide and wait a while before heading off to her room. Monday came too soon and Hermione was sat in the great hall in between Harry and Ron eating her breakfast.
'Soooooo, whats up first then?' Asked Ron who was helping himself to a fourth helping of breakfast. Hermione supressed a giggle, over a month into the school year and Ron still couldn't remember the time table.
'Double potions with the Slytherins' Hermione said miserably
'Fantastic' Muttered Harry, ' double the fun of Snape and Malfoy'
Hermione shifted uncomfortably at the mention of Draco's name but thankfully neither of the boys noticed. Across the hall, almost motionless with untouched food on his plate, sat Draco Malfoy who could not stop staring at Hermione Granger.
Snape was in a foul mood. Not thirty minutes in to the lesson and he had already detucted seventy house points and given out a detention. The house points were of course taken from Griffindoor but the detention had been given to, to his and everybody elses complete shock, Draco. He had been so caught up in looking for Hermione all weekend all homework plans had gone completely out of the window. She had, he had thought, disappeared off the face of the earth.
Malfoy was pretty pissed but he was not one to let his anger get him down. When he was pissed off he found a great release in seeing other in a similar state. He started scanning the room to find his victim although he needent have bothered. He already knew who it was, afterall it was kind of her fault that he had got detention wasn't it.
Hermione was stood over her cauldron desperately trying to get the damned potion right. She had been trying for twice the usual time and it was really starting to get her down.
'Hows the dress?' a voice whispered into her ear, Hermione didn't even bother to turn around, she knew full well who it was.
'It's fine.' She said curtly, 'what do you want?'
'Oh not much' Said Draco cooly, 'I see the potions going well' he sniggered.
Hermione tensed up at this comment, she glanced to the instructions – stir very gently clockwise for ten minutes – Hermione got the wooden spoon and began stirring the mixture very slowly and tried to ignore Draco who was stood right beside her. It would help, she thought angrily, if he hadn't finished his potion ten minutes ago and had received A. Draco peered over your shoulder.
'Hmmm, potions was never your strong point was it?' She knew what he was doing, she knew all he wanted was a reaction out of her but she still felt herself getting increasingly pissed off.
She clenched her fist and started stirring harder.
Draco couldn't see her face but he could tell she was really pissed off. If it had been anyone else Draco would have been able to step back, job done and all that, but seeing her this worked up was thrilling him. He continued to 'hmm' and 'tut' and Hermione continued to get more and more agrivated until, BANG, ARGH! Hermione's potion had exploded loudly. She glanced around hoping pointlessly that Snape hadn't heard this, her heart fell when she saw the potions master looking at her emotionlessly. 'Thankyou for that Miss Granger, you will be joining Mr Malfoy in detention tonight to clear up this mess' e gestured too the room which was covered in thick purple slime. 'Class dismissed'
'What!' Draco said 'I have to clean this up? It was her who made all of the mess why should I have to help clear it up?'
'Because, Mr Malfoy, it needs doing and if I remember correctly you are already coming for detention tonight'
Malfoy shut up and stalked off.
Seeing Draco get all huffy like that really did improve Hermione's mood. Hemione was happy and bubbly all day after that, she managed to ignore him in defence against the dark arts. She avoided his gaze across the great hall at lunch and she wasn't in his class for arithmacy and astronomy. The only thing that put a damper on everthing was that she had detention with Malfoy and Snape – her two favorite people. She dawdled to the head's dorms to put her bag away and found Draco laying sound asleep on the couch. Hermione paused and wondered to herself, what would be more fun, getting Malfoy in to more trouble by letting him miss the detention, or waking him up? After much debating in her head she decided to wake him.
She go his shoulder and gently shook it, Draco didn't move.
'Maaalfoyyyy' Hermione shouted, still no movement. She flicked his head roughly.
'What, what do you want?' He said softly
'Wake up' Hermione said
'Oh ok, anything for you baby' Draco's eyes were still shut but opened widely to the sound of Hermione's giggling.
She didn't know who he thought she was but it was funny all the same.
'What is so funny' Draco said indignantly.
'Nothing' Hermione wiped the tears from her cheeks, 'come on we've got detention, baby'
Draco looked at her like she had just gone insane but that just reduced her to more giggling.
The dark and gloomy dungeons were enough to clam her down, it was as if whenever you entered them your mood was immediately taken down a couple of notches. The potions room was pretty much as she had left it. Snape had obviosly used a charm to clean it up and then put it all back, he wouldn't have been able to use the room otherwise and Hermione was pretty sure that Snape had added a lot more to the mess. She sighed, this was going to take hours without magic. Snape, wordlessly walked up to the pair of them and handed each; a pair of rubber gloves, a cloth and a bucket of soapy water, then looking quite pleased with himself, strolled back to his desk and sat down to watch them.
Twenty minuets later and they had managed about half a wall between them. Snape yawned and rose from his chair running his eyes over Hermione.
'As interesting as this truly is,' he began. ' I have more important matters to attend to, good luck' he sneered and walked away.
'This is all your fault' Hermione said angrily once Snape had left.
'My fault? How the hell did you work that one out Granger? You were the one that blew up the bloody cauldron, don't try and blame me'
'You came over to piss me off, I know what you were playing at, you just wanted to get me in trouble'
'Yes of course that's right' Said Draco sarcastically,'because I actually want to be here, cleaning stupid slime off stupid walls and to top it off, stuck in a room with a stupid mudblood.'
Draco turned back to the wall he had been cleaning and about five seconds later hi felt something hit him on the back of the neck then slide down his back. He turned round to face Hermione who was looking up at him with big innocent eyes. Her entire body was shaking with silent laughter. Very slowly Draco walked up to Hermione and with one arm grabbed her around the waist. Hermione stopped laughing and looked up at him fearfully. He lowered his head towards her and with his free hand wiped the slime from his neck on to Hermione's cheek.
'Eww' she wined, 'that's gross, how do you know that this stuff isn't poisonous'
'You didn't seem to be too worried about that when you threw the damned stuff at me'
'Yes well I don't care about you do I?' Draco pouted and folded his arms like a child, 'you're rediculous' Said Hermoine turning around to wash the walls some more.
Draco picked up some more slime with his hand and threw it at her back. She spun round.
'Oh no, we are not having a slime fi..'
She was cut off by the lump of slime that had appeared on her shoulder. She turned back to the wall, pulled off some slime and threw it in Malfoy's general direction. It missed him by about a foot. Draco burst in to hysterics. Hermione calmly turned back to the wall peeled off some more slime and more slowly this time aimed for Draco, it hit him right on the forehead. He was not chuffed. Wiping the slime away he moved towards Hermione as she moved away. He ran and caught up with her and slammed her into a slime covered wall. She had slime in her hair on her cheeks down her neck and she could not, Draco thought, have looked more beautiful. He didn't even think about what happened next. Leaned down and kissed her, hard. He pinned her hands to the wall and moaned when she returned the kiss. Draco deepened the kiss and pulled her off the wall releasing her arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist as she reached up to frame his face. They were so lost in the kiss, Hermione could hear her heart beating, actually it was beating quite strangely, kind of slow and echoey and getting louder.
'Shit' thought Hermione pushing Draco away, 'footsteps'
Draco stumbled back just in time for snape to walk in the room. The walls were still covered with slime that they should have cleaned up. The tables and floor were covered now also, Hermione's heart stopped whilst Snape looked around in disgust.
Both teenagers were ready for a huge yelling at but Snape simply frowned and turned to Draco,
'Get out of here, you can finish your detention another day, Hermoine you will stay and clean up'
At this point Hermione knew better than to argue, Draco was out of there like a shot leaving Hermione stood covered in slime with the potions professor. Snape took his seat behind his desk as he had at the begging of the evening, folded his arms and instructed Hermione to work. As Hermione scooped, wiped and scrubbed she could feel Snape's eyes pouring in to her back. She turned around a few times to see him staring intently at her.
Three hours, seven buckets of water and three painful blisters later, Hermione was done. Snape rose from his chair ,which creaked noisily, and strolled towards her, tracing his finger along the walls as he went. He stopped about a meter away from Hermione,
'Well, you best be off then'
Hemione nodded and made her way to the door. She reached for the handle but felt a cold hand slip around her waist and pull her backwards. She felt Snape pull her hair away from her neck as he whispered,
'Quite the little slut you've turned out to be don't you say Miss Granger? I'm no fool, I know what was going on back there. I must say if you weren't they dirty mudblood that I know you are then I would be deeply shocked. Get out of my sight, whore'
Snape roughly pushed her away after grazing his hand over her breast, Hermione quickly got up and ran away, eyes streaming the whole time.
