CHAPTER SIX: The Snuggle Burn Feud

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Harry Potter characters. J.K Rowling does.

-In Heads Common room-

"Are you okay?" Draco put his arms around Hermione and pulled her close. She was crying. "I- I can't believe I just lost one of my best friends." She sobbed. Draco pulled her closer. "Well, you still have me..." He pulled her chin up so she was looking at him. She smiled. He gave her a soft peck on the lips. "Thanks. I needed that." She said as she wiped her tears away. Draco moved closer and closed the space between them and gave her a passionate kiss. (As usual.) Then he looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry Hermione. I-I guess we weren't meant to be..." Draco loosened his arms around her. "What! Draco, what are you talking about?" Hermione wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Well," he loosened his arms again. "You're miserable and it all started because we're together." Hermione held him tighter. "Draco! Don't say that! Draco, I love you!" Draco wrapped his arms back around her waist. "Really?" "Draco, I'll always love you!"

That afternoon, at Care of Magical Creatures, they were learning how to take care of a magical creature called a Snuggle Burn Beast. Hagrid had brought out a huge cage with a white sheet over it. "Oka', Now, the thing yeh wan' to know abou' the Snuggle Burn, is tha' they are very, very protective of there young." Hagrid took the blanket off the cage to reveal a big furry, scorpion creature with big paws and a big stinger on the back of its tail. It had 1 young beast with it. "Now, be careful, the tail shoots ou' big thick spear like objects. So yeh better watch yer step with them and don't touch there youngens now… yeh see." Hagrid reached a very long stick into the cage, near one of the Snuggle Burn's young. The Snuggle Burn mum hissed and whipped around to face the stick. It stuck its tail out high over its head and hissed again. Hagrid removed the stick from the cage. "So yeh don' wanna' get to close to em, and, oh ya, the Snuggle Burns have the best aim in the world and they are very intelligent creatures. If you make em mad, they might not forgive you. In fact, they won't!"

After class, Draco and Hermione walked hand-in-hand back to the Heads Common room. Everyone stared at them funny; they were all shocked to see them together.

They stayed into the common room until dinner and immediately went back to the Heads room after.

When Hermione was about to go to bed, she noticed something in her bed. She took her hair brush and threw it at the thing. It hissed and whipped around to face her. She was shocked to find out it was a Snuggle Burn mother, and her family, and that she had just thrown the hairbrush at one of the 5 young ones. The mother Snuggle Burn hissed again and rose its tail if spikes over its head. Hermione screamed and ran for the door, but one of the spikes from the Snuggle Burns tail shot out and hit square into the doorknob, breaking the knob and the lock so she couldn't get out. "Oh no!" Hermione was panicking now. She screamed as loud as she could. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"What the heck?" Draco was in his room, reading a book. "I think Hermione's in trouble!" He grabbed his wand and bounded up to Hermione's room.

Hermione ran into the bathroom and locked the door. She sat against the opposite wall so the spikes wouldn't get her if the Snuggle Burn shot them at the door. She was right too. As soon as she locked the door it shot 5 spikes at the door, going halfway through. Hermione screamed again, louder this time.

Draco struggled to get the door open, because the door had been sabotaged by the spikes. "Bombarda!" The door exploded and Malfoy looked in to find the Snuggle Burn family now facing him in surprise. "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" The mother stopped just as it was about to shoot spikes at him. He heard Hermione scream from the bathroom. He ran to the door and struggled to get it open without harming him or Hermione. When he got it open, Hermione jumped at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh my god! Draco! Thank you so much!" Hermione squeezed him tightly, like she hadn't seen him in years. "Oh Draco, two times you've saved me… I owe you my life!" Hermione started to cry. "No, you just owe me your kisses!" They both Laughed. Draco looked down at Hermione and brought her lips up to his. "Well then I guess I owe you a lot of them then." Their lips met again. "You got that right!" Hermione let go of Draco and went up to the door. "Reparo" The spikes in the door flew out and vanished and the holes shrank until they were gone. Draco came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I'll always love you too." He kissed the top of her head lightly and held her tighter.

A/N: So? How'd ya like it? I think it was very romantic. I know it was strange when Draco kissed her and the said they shouldn't be together but I just noticed it now and don't wanna change it so if you have a problem with that then to bad… lolz, jk. But im not gunna change it so… ok… well please review!
