Chapter 8- When a Slytherin Becomes Despreate

Sitting in the library going over and over the events of the day Hermione knew that there was more to this letter then what there seemed to be. She was about to get up and leave when in walked none other then Draco Malfoy. Not wanting to get into an arguement with him Hermione tried her best to get up and leace without him noticing.

She however was not quick enough she made it to the doorway and Draco grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him.

"Granger sit I need to talk to you" As much as it amazed her to believe it. Hermione swore she heard a hint of despreation in his voice.

"What could you have to talk to me about? In case you have forgotten I hate you, You hate me it's kind of this little deal we have going on."

Giving her the trademark Malfoy smirk Draco replied "Trust me I wouldn't be here if it wasn't important." Deciding she had no other option then to listen to what the little snake had to say Hermione gave in and sat down at the nearest table.

"What is it Malfoy and make it quick I have a lot of homework to do"

Sitting down at the other end of the table Draco took a deep breath and began what he knew to be a long and life-changing story,

Flashback Draco's POV

waking up Draco rubbed his eyes and looked over to the pillow next to him. On it was a small piece of parchment that was folded in half with his name written on the front. Proping himself up on his elbow Draco reached over to open the note he found the following message written on the inside:

Draco,

Last night was fun maybe we can do it again sometime and don't worry I won't tell anyone that you shagged the-boy-who-lived's girlfriend.

Katrina

Dropping the note on to the bed in front of him Draco's mouth hung open in shock ,

"Was that what happened last night?" For The life of him he couldn't remember. He assumed that was because he himself had drunk an entire case of firewhiskey and after his third one the whole night was a compleate blackout, He knew now that he had to find Katrina and talk this whole thing over. Leaping out of his bed and throwing on his robes Draco quickly made his way out of the Slytherin portrait hole in search of Katrina. He found her sitting at the end of The Gryffindor table alone. Not wanting to be seen socailizing with aGryffindor Draco quickly looked around to make sure there were no slytherin's present. Seeing that the coast was clear He sat down next to her and cleared his throat as if trying to make his presence known. Looking up from the journal in which she was currently writing Katrina just smiled when she saw who it was sitting next to her...

End Flashback

Not knowing exactly how to respond to the shocking story Hermione said the first thing that came to her mind...

"You sick and twisted bastard! You slept with someone when you KNEW she a boyfriend." Jumping up from the table she said

"I have to go tell Harry he has to find out what a cheating witch that Katrina is!"

Grabbing her arm and once again spinning her around to face him Draco said,

"Wait Granger there's more. Not only did I shag her that night but I've shagged her every week since then. Now I'm in love with her!"

"IN LOVE WITH HER! MALFOY SHE'S HARRY'S GIRLFRIEND!" At this point everyone in the library was staring at them so Draco led Hermione out of the library and into the corridor.

"Would you PLEASE keep your voice down I do have a reputation to protect after all. Besides the whole reason I'm telling you this is because I know you are in love with Potter"

"Malfoy what are you talking about Harry and I are just fr-"

"Save it Granger I know the truth, I also know about the letters"

"How do you know about the letters" questioned Hermione who was now compleatly confused.

"Because," said Draco sounding exhausted "

Katrina and I are the ones who wrote them. Her and your little boyfriend are trying to see if these feelings you and Potter have are really just friendly and I know a way that we can turn this around on them and you and I can get what we want. You can get Potter and I can get Katrina."

Looking at Draco with distrust in her eyes Hermioneasked,

"Why would you want to help me?" As if trying not to laugh Draco simply said,

"When a Slytherin's despreate we'll do anything to get what we want"
