"What do you want mudblood?" Draco asked, suspiciously eyeing the package.
"I-it's just..." 'Think fast Hermione... GOT IT!'"It's just... I saw how Pansy was eyeing Blaise and I thought I could help. I know how much you like her and everything so I, being the smartest witch of our year, well, figured I could help." I finished staring anxiously.
"Now, even if I did want your help, which I'm not saying I do, why would you want to help me, Granger?" Draco said. 'Why couldn't he just be stupid and take the potion?'
"Because… because… because... I like Blaise! And I don't want Pansy with him," I must admit I was pretty good, but I couldn't help but blush when I said it.
"So you'll help me so you can get Blaise?" Malfoy stood and thought for a second. "Sure, why not? I hate Blaise, I hate you - you two deserve each other. So, what's the plan?" Malfoy grimaced.
"All you have to do is drink this." I said holding out the potion to him.
"How-how-how does it work?" Draco asked, his hand reaching out for the potion.
"All you have to do is drink this; it's a mixture of a love potion and Amortentia. Pansy won't be able to keep her hands off of you." I said, noticing that I sounded quite like a door-to-door saleswoman.
"I'm not sure..." Malfoy said, considering the idea, "I still don't know why you would want to help me."
"Because... I LOVE HIM!" I yelled, grabbing Malfoy's collar and shaking him furiously "I FRICKIN LOVE HIM!" I sighed, "Never mind, I guess you don't understand." I said making my eyes get all watery, a very handy technique I learned from the girls in the Gryffindor dormitories. I looked away from him and dropped my head in defeat, making a mental note to thank Parvati and Ginny who taught me this trick.
Malfoy stared at me. "Alright, I'll drink it. Not for you though. As long as it won't hurt me because if it does, Granger, I swear..." He took the cork off the tiny bottle the potion was in. "And if you ever tell anyone about this, you'll be hexed into oblivion. I doubt anyone would believe a Mudblood anyway." Draco smirked and chugged the potion down.
"Well, I don't feel any different." He stated.
"YES!" I screamed in victory as I pumped my fist in the air triumphantly. "Here you go Malfoy." I said as I handed him the folder with the explanations, directions and pictures of George. I then proceeded to… run away, like the mad woman I was. I ran straight back into the Great Hall and sat back down at the table; panting and smiling widely.
"Um, 'Mione... What's with that smile? It's sort of... freaking me out." said Harry who had actually decided to take his eyes off Ginny for more than five seconds.
"Nothing." I said trying to sound convincing.
"Spill it.," Ginny said. Of course, I'd failed at convincing. I mean, I'm pretty much the worst liar in the world. "Everyone knows you can't lie." She said looking to Harry for support, or was it just an excuse to look at Harry? I don't know really.
I sighed, "Fine... well do you guys remember the Pass the Snog day last year?"
"Oh yeah! Isn't the anniversary of that coming up? I heard the Seamus was- OUCH!" said Ron as he was elbowed by Harry.
"Hermione please say you didn't..." Ginny said, "Did you really enjoy kissing Myrtle that much because I mean-"
"No! Ew, that was disgusting!" I said shuttering as I remembered what happened last year. "Fred and George sent me a package with a Pass the Snog Day Potion that they created and a folder that I was supposed to give to whomever I gave the potion to. It had directions and proof that this is no joke. So anyway, when I ran out of the Great Hall after Malfoy I told him come stupid story about how I wanted to help him get Pansy from Blaise and all he had to do was drink this potion that I had. He bought it. Malfoy drank the potion, I gave him the folder and he has half an hour to Pass the Snog." I concluded, grinning madly and feeling very proud of myself.
"But why on Earth would Malfoy believe that you wanted to help him?" questioned Harry.
"That's easy! I told Malfoy I'm in love with Blaise," I said as if the answer were obvious.
Harry choked on his toast, Ginny spit out her pumpkin juice and Ron sat shocked.
"Bloody hell," Ron said looking kind of sad.
Does that mean that he likes me! Oh well, I'll have to figure that out later. Right now, I've got to put any Hermy/Blaise rumors to bed before they start spreading like wildfire.
"Guys... you do know that that all was a story, right? Why would I like a Slytherin, especially one from this year? I mean, I'm all for the house unities and all but really, I'd never fall for any Slytherin's' this year." I said chuckling at the looks on all of their faces.
"Oh right... that's what I thought. Well I didn't want to say... well you get it! I'm glad we cleared that up." said Harry as the color slowly started returning to his face.
"Yep. Well, best be off to Transfiguration. We can't make Mcgonagall angry on a day like this; especially with what happened with last years snog day." I said clapping my hands. The others mumbled replies along the lines of "Yeah, poor Minnie" and "Ugh, that was just gross." Okay, so they were still a bit shocked over the whole Hermione-'loves'-Blaise thing. Like that'd ever happen. Or maybe they were shocked at the fact that I was practically skipping down the halls giddily chanting, "Oh, this is going to be loads of fun!"
And with that Harry, Ron and I said goodbye to Ginny and went (well, I skipped) off to class. This was going to be a very interesting day.
A/N: Remember people, Hermione DOES NOT have the snog. Malfoy has it.
