Author's note: Hey everyone, a lot of my inspiration for this story had dried up so i'm going to need a lot of encouragement-in the mean time, My other Draco/hermione fic, A RHAPSODY OF SEVEN is going to get a lot of the attention for a while. I'm not saying i'm going to leave this, i'm just saying that it may be a little far between the updates.

Slainte, everyone!

Chapter IX – Out of Earshot

MALFOY?

What?

The war of upper Estonia, what effect did it have on the wizarding world again?

The who with the what now?

Oh honestly, Malfoy we have a test tomorrow on the great wars of the eastern lands! A Magical History of Europe? HELLO?

Remind me again why I should give a damn?

You are really quite impossible. A test. Tomorrow. History of Magic, you vain ferret, you really should-STOP LOOKING AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR!

Really, Granger, just because you couldn't give a flying fuck about your appearance does not means that it is excusable for the rest of us to forgo hygiene.

You know full well that I do not forgo hygiene, I take showers.

Well of course, Sweet Cheeks because I'm right there with you every step of the way.

Get that infernal smirk off your face you gargantuan rainbow boy

Gargantuan Rainbow boy, my, how quaint are we running out of insults, Granger?

Nope, there simply are no words to express my hate for you.

You understand of course that the feeling in completely mutual

Well, certainly. I expected absolutely no less.

That seems to be lacking the usual bite, I knew you were warming up to me.

Warming up to you? Are you out of your mind Draco Malfoy?

Well I'm not surprised that you just can't get me out of you mind. Really its very flattering, but-

Draco Malfoy, get over yourself.

If you want me to kiss you all you have to do is ask.

Malfoy, shut up.

No one can hear me, Granger, just you and then maybe another magical night like that-

DRACO MALFOY you shut up right now!

You sound like you've got something shoved up your ass, Granger.

I DO NOT!

Want one?

That was crude; I thought you lofty pure blood brats never did anything crude.

Oh, I can do Crude, you want it?

Draco Malfoy why are you doing this? Is there any purpose-STOP THAT ! You... you... YOU, INFERNAL SMIRKING YOU INBRED MISCREANT!

You didn't have to slap me, mudblood.

What was the meaning of this?

I have just now wasted ten minutes of your precious study time how will you EVER get it all done, my little book worm?

First of all, I am not your anything. And you are pure evil.

Damn straight.

You're proud of that?

You proud of being a swotty know it all?

Well, yes but-

Then you know how I feel, case closed.

Wait, what?

Moving too fast for you to keep up, Granger?

I'm good, Thanks ferret boy.

Anytime.

So the revolution?

Don't know.

WHAT?

I don't study.

I think I'm going to faint.

I know.

What do you mean you don't study? Then how do you get your grades?

I answer my test papers.

With out reviewing lessons

Not one little notebook.

This is a travesty against civilization.

No. this is a travesty against you.

Dammit. You are a horrid, terrible person.

I know

I hate you.

Mutual.
