I walked obliviously to my work station in the library not noticing the strange look from Madam Pince. I sat down on my chair and set my book on the table all the while wondering, 'What the hell? He thinks I'm pretty? He didn't want to be mean? Why did he change his mind? What happened?' Questions cascaded through brain and I couldn't concentrate on anything. 'All that teasing...was he being serious? Was he flirting with me? Was Draco Malfoy, the one whom made my life living hell all these years, interested in me?'

I felt on odd sensation on the back of my neck. I looked over my shoulder to find Malfoy staring at me, his face unreadable. He looked me straight in the eye, then turned his gaze upon my desk, then back up to meet my eyes. I took the hint and looked down at my desk. I picked up the book I had just laid there. Underneath it was a white piece of paper folded in half. I picked it up and opened it up.

Granger,

Where were you? You didn't come out of the passage, at least not before me. I asked Madam Pince. Spying on me were you? I'll have you know that there are consequences for those who think to spy on me...your's should be fun to decide. Something involving that black lace maybe...and this time I won't need to hit you with something to get you on your back.

Shit! Damn it! He knows I heard him, I wonder if he realized what he said. I reread the last bit again and blanched. "On your back"...this cannot be good...and yet, I find myself intrigued. 'ACK! Hermione, get a hold of your self. You should not be thinking about this! No...not that...think of something else...but what...Oh! The poison ivy boxers! I wonder if the guys have figured it out yet. I'll have to remember to talk to them about it. Hmm...Malfoy wants to get into my pants right? So maybe I can use that to my advantage. Maybe I can convince him that I want to do it with him, then leave him a "present" for him to wear for our special night...hmm, which kind of boxers should I transfigure it into? Black lace!'

I picked up my quill and another piece of paper.

Malfoy,

Okay, so maybe I was spying but not intentionally. I'd left my book back in the alcove and instead of confronting you again I hid in an aisle until you walked by. I'm beginning to think that the consequence you wrote of isn't such a bad idea. Maybe you'd like to find out exactly how naught I am. But before we go ahead with this I want to get you a present...involving black lace, after all fair is fair.

I stuck the note in the book, just a corner of it peeking out. I stood up and walked over to Malfoy's table. He watched me warily, probably getting ready to defend himself should I attack him with book. I dropped the book on his desk with a loud thunk. "Fine, you can borrow this but I want it back before the end of the class time Ferret." Malfoy glared at me and then at Seamus who let out a low chuckle. 'Wow. That was different. He didn't really seem to mean it when he glared at me but when Seamus laughed he seemed to mean it. Interesting.' I looked at the book, back at Malfoy, winked, then sat down.

Behind me I heard Malfoy open the book and heard the sound of the paper being unfolded. Then he didn't make a sound. I could just imagine him reading the note. Reading her explanation of where she was then him trying to remember exactly what he had said. Then after reading the second part of the note I can just see him sitting there with a satisfied smirk on his face. I went back to studying and getting my materials together.

About five minutes before the time was up a large heavy object dropped in front of me. It was my book. I looked above me to see Malfoy looming over me. He looked at the book, then at me, winked, smirked, then went back to his desk. I opened the book and found another note inside.

Granger,

A ferret am I? Well this ferret is extremely interesting in finding out exactly how naughty you are. Fine, I'm going to give you three days to get this surprise for me in order. Friday night. Meet me in the common room at 8 o'clock that night. Until then I'll just have to remember you in black lace.

'Okay, three days, well two I'm going to give him the present Friday morning...this...should be good.'
