-Chapter 17: Slytherins-
"And to think I actually started to like him!" Hermione shouted furiously now with tears falling freely from her eyes, as she walked down a few corridors, not knowing where exactly she was going.
Then she stopped. She wouldn't have if she didn't bump into someone.
"Woah! Hold on there, nobody's supposed to be roaming around the castle at this time of- Hermione?" he asked as he saw the girl in front of him, face evident with sadness, eyes filled with tears "What happened?"
"D-Draco, Colon, a-a b-b-bet, and..." She stopped as she hugged Blaise and sobbed even more.
"H-huh?" Blaise asked unsurely but Hermione didn't acknowledge the questionable look on his face and just continued sobbing onto his chest.
Blaise awkwardly patted her back and then hugged her in return. He didn't know what to do with sobbing girls, he never had any girl cry to him for comfort before.
"Right" whispered a voice at the end of the corridor.

'I can't believe that Creevy was this stupid!' Draco thought heatedly as he walked down several corridors, looking for Hermione.
"Draco" a familiar voice called behind him.
He turned around to see the least person he expected to call his name.
"Hermione?" he asked disbelievingly then shook his head "look, I'm sorry about the bet, but I-"
"Don't worry, I forgive you, I know you didn't mean it, Blaise told me everything"
"Blaise?"
"Yes, that you were threatened that's why you accepted the bet"
"Errr...right! I-I was threatened!" Draco agreed unsurely.
Hermione leaned back on the wall and slid down on the floor.
"H-Hermione?" Draco asked as he sat down beside her.
"Yeah?"
"Are you alright?"
"Of course, why do you ask?" she asked innocently.
"Well, first of all, you were mad at me"
"Do you want me to be mad at you?"
"No," he replied hastily "but it's kind of weird"
"What's weird?"
"You were furious at me a while ago, and now, you're acting as if nothing has happened"
"I told you, Blaise told me what really happened"
'That seems unusual because Blaise doesn't know about the bet, but if his reason brought Hermione back to me...I better thank him then' he thought.
"Draco" Hermione cooed.
"Huh?" Draco said cutting away from his thoughts.
Hermione leaned towards him slowly shutting her eyes.
Draco didn't get it why Hermione was acting this way, but he did like it so he shoved of his doubts as he too leaned in until their lips met each other into a kiss.
Draco felt weird, Hermione's kiss was very familiar but not the same kiss they shared a while ago. He can't quite place it but it strangely feels familiar, and he didn't like it.
"Oh my God" a familiar voice said not so far from them.
Draco didn't mind it but continued kissing Hermione as her arms were now wrapped around his neck, and his around her waist.
Again, he felt weird, as his hands continued traveling around her back, it feels like it wasn't hers at all.
"Pansy?" another familiar voice said in the same direction as the first one.
'Pansy?' Draco thought to himself as he turned his head and opened his eyes to look over at the source of the voice.
What he saw was utterly unbelievable.
"Hermione?!" asked Draco incredulously.
She was standing right there, tears still flowing from her eyes, beside a smirking Blaise who looked over behind Draco.
Draco was confused, he slowly turned his head to look at where Hermione was supposedly be sitting but saw...
"Pansy!" Draco shouted as he stood up hastily from the floor.
"Hello Draky" she said as she waved her hand mischievously at him "you're such a great kisser, exactly the same as I remembered"
He turned around hoping to catch Hermione before she would again conclude that he was using her, but when he did, all he saw was Blaise's retreating form, which was running after Hermione.
"Damn" Draco whispered to himself.
"That Polyjuice potion sure didn't last long" Pansy said from beside him, as she slowly stood up, not caring as to what had just happened.
"Pansy," Draco said started slowly.
"Yes Draky?" she said in a seducing way as she swept her hand along his arms back and forth.
"Go to hell" Draco finished as he glared at her menacingly.
Pansy was shocked at first, seeing Draco's cold eyes which was filled with much hatred and was looking directly at her was unexpected...in her own thoughts. She thought he liked it, and it was the only way she could remind Draco of how she really cared for him. She knew he wouldn't let her kiss him now that he liked the mudblood.
Instead of feeling hurt at Draco's expression to her, she ignored it and gave him a flirtatious smile and winked at him. Draco gave her a disgusted look and shoved her off, sending her away from him as he walked away, onto where Hermione was headed.
"That went well," Pansy sighed. "I was sure Blaise and the mudblood wouldn't go near this place and interrupt us when I saw her sobbing all over him down the second floor"
Pansy sighed again, 'I was so close!' she thought as she stomped her foot on the stone floor.
"What a waste!" she said irately, and added in a whisper "I'll get you for this mudblood, I will have my Draco back if it's the last thing I do"

"I-I don't believe th-this!" Hermione said as she sobbed more than ever.
"I'm sorry Hermione" said Blaise who was beside her trying to catch up.
"I thought h-he was different!"
"You can't blame him, he really is like that even to the other girls in our house"
"I th-thought he changed!"
"Just an advice from me Hermione, don't believe anything he says, he really is just a piece of scum," Blaise said as he nodded.
'And your going to be mine' he added to himself in a thought.
"I-I just c-can't accept it!"
"Try and accept it, he's not worth it Hermione, believe me. All he does is get to deep with girls and break their hearts right after"
"Stop it" Hermione said suddenly as she stopped.
"Huh?"
"Just stop it!"
"What do you mean?"
"Aren't you two friends? Isn't he your housemate?"
"Housemate? Yes...friends? Sort of"
"Then why are you speaking ill of him?" she asked the tone of her voice sounding much closer to hatred.
"Well, he really isn't all that of a great guy, in fact I don't really like him" Blaise said, not noticing her getting angry.
"Well then, good bye!" Hermione said shaking her head in a disagreeing manner.
"Huh? Wait!" Blaise shouted as he grabbed Hermione's wrist, stopping her "Why are you acting like this?"
"Why? You're asking me why? First of all you're just like him!"
"No I'm not," he said with a face, disgusted by the fact to be told that he was like Draco "I'm much more handsome than him thank you very much"
"See? All you care are your looks, you don't care about others"
"I care about you"
"I know you do, but sooner or later your just gonna abandon and use me just like what Draco did. You two are exactly alike"
"Hermione," he started.
"No, I don't want your comfort, I don't want anything at all from any of you Slytherins, all you do is hurt innocent and unsuspecting people from other houses such as myself, so bug off away from me" she said menacingly as she started walking away.
Blaise was quick as he took hold of her.
"Listen, I-"
"No, I won't listen and let go of me!" she said as she tried shoving him away from her.
"No I won't, not until you listen to what I have to say"
"I said let go!"
"No, listen, I was-"
"You heard the girl Blaise, let her go" said a voice behind them.
Blaise let go of her and rolled his eyes.
"Coming to the rescue are we, Draco?"
Draco smirked as he walked up to him and Hermione.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be off snogging Parkinson in deserted hallways?" Hermione asked both sarcastically and menacingly.
"I'm here to help you Hermione, this guy" he said tilting his head towards Blaise "is no good"
Blaise started to say something but Hermione's overruled his voice.
"No good? As if you're any better! Will you two just get away from me? Haven't you hurt me enough in one day?" she said looking from Draco to Blaise as she turned and left both guys speechless.
Being who he is, Draco spoke first.
"Great work Zabini, you just made her more furious at me"
"Yeah right, you started the whole thing and you're going to blame it on me?"
"I can't blame it on myself, could I now?"
Blaise snorted and started after Hermione.
"And where do think you're going?"
"After her, isn't it obvious?"
"Are you deaf? You heard her, she said to leave her alone"
"I heard her"
"Then you must be stupid not to understand what she said" Draco snorted as he walked pass Blaise still in the direction where Hermione took off.
"And where are you going then? You must be stupid too, following her even if she told you not to" Blaise smirked at him.
"Not as stupid as you, you didn't even bother considering that we have the same dorm room" Draco smirked right back at him as Blaise's face grew red, from embarrassment and from anger.
Draco smirked one last time at him as he slowly made his way.
Blaise was boiling now as he made his way in the opposite direction, stomping his foot as he walked.
