Ch 7 Girl's Night

Hermione awoke the next day well rested. She got up and stepped into the common room. She immediately smiled when she saw Draco sitting on one of the chairs reading the Daily Prophet.

"Morning Draco," She sighed as she sat down and gave a huge yawn. She stretched and Draco smirked to himself. 'She looks so sexy when she does that.'

"What are you looking at?" She asked with a wide grin and a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing," He replied nonchalantly.

"Sureee," She smirked.

Hermione got up and went into the kitchen. She came back with a large cup of tea and the Daily Prophet.

"What? You aren't the only one who reads!" She defended herself as she sat down.

"Did I say anything? I was just looking at your beautiful self." He smirked seductively.

"Draco!" She scolded.

"What! It's not a crime." He muttered.

"Anyways, I have to get ready for class. Seeing as you can be late 'cause Miss Raleigh fancies you, then I'll leave you to it," she said getting up, "Bye Draco" She whispered as she kissed his cheek.

"Bye love."

She smiled, remembering what he said last night.

Hermione walked into the Great Hall with a huge grin plastered across her face. She sat down far away from Harry, with Ron, Ginny, and Lavender.

" 'Mione, you seem distant. Anything going on?" Ron asked with concern.

"Yeah 'Mione, we gotta have that girls night sometime soon!(A/N: I know she was supposed to have it before, just go with it!)" Lavender squealed as she hugged Hermione.

"Yea, she's right 'Mione, we haven't talked in a long while." Ginny said as she glanced at Harry, " Speaking of talking, what's up with you and Harry?" Ginny asked in a small whisper.

"Ooohh! Girl talk, see this is what I'm talking about!" Lavender screamed as she leaned in to here.

"Not to be rude or anything Lav, but I want to talk to Ginny alone." Hermione said hesitantly.

"It's ok guys, just as long as you tell me tonight" She replied looking kind of hurt.

"I'm sorry Lav, I would tell you, but Ginny knows more about this than you do. I'm really sorry. You know I'd tell you anything, right?" Hermione asked not wanting Lavender to feel hurt.

"It's ok 'Mione, just as long as I don't here it from someone else," She mumbled as she picked at her food.

"I'll tell you tonight, OK Lavender?" Ginny asked.

"Yea, we'll have ice cream, a make-over, girl talk, and movies!" Hermione exclaimed excitedly.

Lavender's eyes immediately lit up. "Really!" She squealed.

"Of course Lav. Just please don't be mad," Hermione assured her and gave her a hug.

"Ok 'Mione," Lavender chimed as she went on to think of the nights events.

Hermione and Ron were walking to Potions later on that day. When they turned a corner, they saw something they never thought they'd see.

"Harry! How could you?" Hermione cried turning away.

Harry looked up and saw Hermione and Ron gaping at him.

" 'Arry, first you get pissed at 'Mione, then you go off and practically shag Pansy," Ron screamed in disgust.

"First off all, Ronald, we were snogging. And second of all, you both know what Hermione did to me," Harry corrected fixing his shirt and helping Pansy up.

"And you," Hermione piped in, "You have the nerve to slap Dra-Malfoy, then you come here and snog my former best friend?" Hermione cried furious

"Listen, mudblood, I will say this only once, just because, and I quote, your not getting any, doesn't give you the right to come ranting in here controlling my life thinking you're the boss here." She yelled. "Stupid bitch," she muttered.

"Harry, I can't believe you, snogging the enemy. She's just as bad as Malfoy. Actually, she's worse. She screwed around with practically everyone in this school."

"Correction Ron, in Slytherin. But after what I just saw, I think anything is possible," Hermione screamed furious.

"Yea," Ron chimed in, "Think about it, first you and Pansy. What next, Hermione and Malfoy?"

Harry rolled his eyes at Pansy. Hermione laughed nervously and said, "Yeah Ron, imagine the possibilities."

"Oh, just shut up, will you! I'm getting sick and tired of all this bickering between houses. It's actually quite sickening, watching this. And now I can't even choose who I get to snog because the Snogging Police comes around and gives me a ticket. What's the payment this time, eh Ron? Hermione?" She rambled on.

"Actually Pansy..." Hermione started but was rudely interrupted.

"Don't actually Pansy me mudblood. Do you actually think I'll listen. I'm not in the mood. I'm leaving," She got up and ran. You could practically see the steam.

"And she told you this, eh 'Arry?" Ron asked giving Harry a death glare.

"Like she would talk to me about something like that. I think you guys hit that nerve." He chuckled softly to himself.

"Anyways, lets go or we'll be late to class," Hermione said as she turned around to leave.

"Yeah", Ron said as he walked away, leaving Harry alone.

Hermione walked in, 2 minutes late. Luckily, Snape had his back turned. She ran in, whipped out her stuff, and put on a straight face.

" 'Mione" Draco whispered, "Why are you late. I would never take you as someone to be late." He asked with concern.

"You'll never guess what happened between Harry and Pansy," she replied giggling.

"Pothead and Pansy?" He whispered loudly.

"Ssshh Draco!" she scolded, "I'll tell you when we get back into the common room, alone." She finished.

"Ok, b ut you better not leave out one detail, or I'll just be forced to hurt you," He laughed

"Hurt me," Hermione chuckled with amusement, "And what will you do Mr. Malfoy?" She whispered so no one could hear.

"Oh, you'll just have to wait and see, I'll think about it." He said chuckling to himself.

"Ok, whatever you say, now let's get started on this potion." Hermione said getting out her cauldron.

"Sure love," He smiled and got to work.

Hermione was explaining to Draco about what happened in the hall between Harry and Pansy.

"Pansy said what!" Draco exclaimed in between laughs on the floor.

"She said...she said..that she's getting tired of the house rivalry." Hermione managed to get out.

"Oh My God." Draco cried as he ceased the laughing and sat up, "I never thought the world would come to this," Draco said as he beckoned Hermione to come sit with him.

Hermione crawled over and leaned her head against Draco's shoudler.

"Can you believe it, Harry, my former best friend, and Pansy, your former slut."

Draco took a double take. "Your former best friend? When did this happen. And my former slut?" He spat out.

"Well, you know how Harry told me he fancied me?" Hermione started to explain

"No," Draco replied confused.

"Oh. Well, he told me he fancied me, and that was the day after you asked me to be your girlfriend. I told him I don't like him like that. And he took it the wrong way and we've been distant ever since." She finished explaining.

"Wow, never thought Potter had it in him. And he was mad enough to go and snog Pansy?" Draco asked laughing as he kissed Hermione in her hair.

Hermione chuckled. "No, never thought he did. But anyways Draco, I have a girl's night tonight, and I would really like to get ready. I have to catch up with Ginny and Lavender. SO if you don't mind..." She was cut off as Draco started to kiss her.

The kiss progressed and they were soon on the floor, Draco on top of Hermione.

"Draco.." she said as she pushed Draco off.

"Hermione.." He whined.

"Don't Hermione me. I told you I need to get ready. Now go do homework." She giggled.

"Yes mother." He replied as he saluted her.

"I love you Draco."

He looked at her confused, and then smiled.

"I love you too."

"Oh My god Lavender! You actually like him?" Ginny squealed just as Hermione walked in.

"Like who?" Hermione asked when she sat down on the bed.

"Lavender fancies Malfoy."

Hermione looked shocked.

"What Hermione, who doesn't? He is absolutely gorgeous!" Lavender cried looking at Hermione, "What, you don't think he is? 'Mione, if you don't mind me asking, are you lezbian?"

Hermione giggled in shock. "No! Eeew, Lavender. And yes I think he is nice, but the git humiliated me and my friends for 7 years!" Hermione cried

"Doesn't matter. He is just to hard to resist! Did you catch the dirty joke there ladies?" Lavender asked in between giggles.

"Lavender!" Ginny scolded.

"Hey guys, I have an idea, lets play Truth or Dare." Hermione asked smiling.

"Sure," Ginny replied.

"Yes! I love this game. I get so many juicy details out of this game, you can't even imagine!" Lavender sreamed clapping her hands together girlishly.

"Ok, Ginny, Truh or Dare?" Hermione asked.

"Ummmm...Dare!" Ginny cried

"Ok...I want you to...O! I have a good one. Tomorrow, I want you to snog Harry. No exceptions!" Hermione screamed jumping up and down.(A/N:I know Hermione isn't girly, but could you imagine a girl doing anything else here? unless of course theres something wrong...ahem nevermind)

Ginny looked shocked. "What?" she asked, knowing she wouldn't make a cruel joke like that.

"You have to snog Harry!" Hermione repeated again

" 'Mione, you know I like him, why would you make me do something like that? It would send off a bad vibe! And plus, I heard a rumor that he was snoggin Pansy yesterday anyways. It's not worth it. I decline the dare." She spat, looking hurt.

"Oh My Gosh Ginny, I am so sorry. I had no idea. PLease forgive me?" Hermione asked as she gave Ginny a hug.

"I'll think about it" Ginny replied.

A few outrageous dares and a couple butterbeers later...

"Ok, 'Mione, truth or dare?" Lavender asked in between giggles.

"Um, Truth."

"Tell us anything going on with your love life. Everything. And if you have a boyfriend on the side, do tell." Lavender smirked, proud of her question.

"Guys, I kinda have something to tell you that you can't tell anyone," She whispered.

"What Hermione?" Lavender asked with bright eyes.

"Lav, she looksserious, you can't tell anyone. I know your always tempted, but you can't". Ginny reassured

"I swear on my life I won't." Lavender crossed her heart.

"I'm going out with Draco Malfoy." She mumbled.
