A play about Hermione Granger

Scene 3 Malfoy Loves A Mudblood?

At 10:15 exactly, Hermione rushes into the deserted fourth floor corridor anxiously looking around and checking her watch

HG: Hello? Anyone? I'm here. (questioningly) (dark figure steps out of the shadows to face Hermione)

DF: So you really did come, I was afraid you'd guess and not come to meet me.

HG: Malfoy? You called me here? I don't believe it!

DM: You should. I sent a letter with a house elf and I signed it "your admirer"

HG: (amazed) you did send it! But why? Looking for someone to rage at?

DM: I would prefer that you called me Draco under the circumstances.

HG: What circumstances? Why did you call me here?

DM: To give you this. (approaches her, moving her against the wall and kisses her passionately)(Hermione pushes him away, making a disgusted face and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand)

HG: Ewwwww! Couldn't you just have cursed me? It would have been less foul!

DM: But Hermione, I love you! (disappointed)

HG: You WHAT?

DM: I love you Hermione, I have since the very first day I saw you. I had to keep up the pretence I hated you so you wouldn't get suspicious of me before the time was right to tell you. Believe it or not, it hurt me more every time I had to curse you or call you an evil name.

HG: But why tell me now?

DM: Because I couldn't wait anymore! I care about you too much! You can't imagine how many times over the last six years I've wanted to kiss you like that!

HG: MALFOY! You are a lying, cheating, womanizing, disgusting creep!

DM: (devilish grin) But I'm cute and loveable!

HG: (thoughtful) cute, that's true.

DM: Then you like me?

HG: yes-no-maybe-I don't know! Give me a few days to sort it out. Meet me at 2pm on the next Hogsmeade Saturday in the Three Broomsticks. I'll be thinking more clearly by then.

DM: Alright. But Hermione?

HG: Yes?

DM: Can I kiss you goodbye?

HG: Absolutely not! (slaps him and storms away) Goodbye Draco! (angrily)

DM: (smiling) She called me Draco, finally! (sobers and touches his cheek) But she sure is unpredictable! (smiles again) but she's going to meet me in Hogsmeade! (walks slowly away)
