Hermione sighed as she walked through the halls of Hogwarts. It had been a long day and all she wanted to do was take a long bath, read a couple chapters of her favourite book and go to sleep. That's what she planned to do. She was on the 3rd floor heading towards the Gryffindor portrait hole when there was a voice….

"Granger, what are you doing up so late?" Malfoy stated with disgust in his voice.

"Shut it Malfoy! What's it to you?" Hermione replied viciously.

"Ohhh, touchy, touchy tonight!" he replied.

"Oh God Malfoy, just go away. The world would be a better place if you did." Hermione said with annoyance in her usually calm, sweet voice.

"Shut up Mudblood!" Malfoy yelled.

"You can't go one day without calling me that can you?" Hermione said.

"I bet I could Granger. I'm a Malfoy we never fail" he said with pride.

"Well, we'll see about that. I bet you can't keep quiet and not call me Mudblood till Christmas" she said smiling to herself.

"Fine! I accept your deal. This is going to be easy and if I win which I will you have to do something for me" he said.

"And what would that be Draco?" Hermione asked dreading what he was going to say.

"Hmmm…..You have to be my servant for the rest of the year and possibly 7th year, I don't know if I want to make that year hell for you yet!" he said casually.

"Malfoy, you better not ruin my final year or I'll kill you!" Hermione said angry that Malfoy was so annoying.

"Oh, a threat…….Well are you in or not?" he asked ignoring Hermione's death threat.

"Okay, fine I'm in but if I win you have to be my servant for the rest year" Hermione stated "oh and possibly 7th year too" she added knowing full well that it would make him angry.

"I'm in because I'm not a coward and I'm going to win this bet" Malfoy said glaring at her.

"Oh and Christmas is in 3 months in case you didn't know and the bet is effective now" replied Hermione.

"I know when Christmas is, I'm not stupid Mudblood!" Malfoy yelled heatedly before slapping his hand over his mouth realizing what he had just said.

"Something wrong Malfoy" she said before she walked away laughing to herself.

Malfoy watched her walk away cursing himself for saying the name. He had gotten so used to calling her Mudblood that he didn't think he could stop. I may just lose this bet he thought to himself.

Hermione laughed as she walked through the portrait hole thinking Draco would not be able to fulfill the bet. Just as she walked in she was stopped by Ginny. "Hey, what's so funny? Ginny asked curious.

"Oh nothing" Hermione replied but she knew that nothing got past Ginny and if not tonight she would have to eventually tell her.

"Come on you can tell me" Ginny said a little annoyed that Hermione wouldn't tell her even though she was her best friend.

"It was nothing, Okay!" Hermione replied hotly, now she was annoyed that Ginny was pestering her.

"Fine" Ginny practically yelled and she stomped off.

Hermione sighed and shook her head sullenly, she new she should have told her but she guessed she would later. She headed upstairs to the 6th year dormitories, walked into the room and plopped onto the bed. She was exhausted so she decided to just go to bed instead of reading and taking a bath, she would do that in the morning. She readily fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next morning Hermione woke with a start, did that really happen she thought to herself as she go dressed. Had she just dreamt that she and Draco made a strange bet last night? Well, maybe it did happen oh well no time to dwell on it now. She headed downstairs to the common room where she met up with Ron, Harry and Ginny.

"Hey guys" Hermione said happily as she they left the common room heading down to breakfast.

The boys responded with a Hey but Ginny just glared and said nothing. Hermione just looked at her, she knew Ginny was going to be angry at her for a quite a while unless she told her.

"Ginny, can I talk to you at lunch about last night" Hermione said hoping she would agree.

Ginny sighed exasperatedly and replied "I suppose, I'll meet you in the common room as soon as the bell rings".

Harry and Ron looked at them suspiciously and wondered what Ginny was talking about. They both hated being left in the dark but they did consider the fact it could be about girly things. They looked at each other as they realized it could be that and put a disgusted look on their faces.

"What are you talking about" Ron asked.

"Oh nothing" Hermione calmly replied covering up for herself before Ginny could say a word.

Breakfast passed without incident or mention of what Hermione and Ginny were going to talk about. As they walked out of the Great Hall, Malfoy walked by and didn't say a word to the trio at all.

"Did anybody think that was weird?" Ron said an odd look on his face.

"Yah, that was weird"

"It was strange" Hermione said smiling to herself.

'This is going to suck' Draco thought to himself as he walked by the trio and Weaselette. He had said nothing to them at all and just walked by, he was surprised at himself for not saying anything. Usually it came naturally and he didn't need to think about it.
