CHAPTER 7: CARB-O-RAMA

Hermione elbowed her way passed Ginny, gaining speed as she sprinted towards the light at the end of the corridor, where her dear Draco would be waiting.

Hermione screeched to a halt just in time to stop from running straight into a green couch; unfortunately, Ginny didn't and she collided with it at an all-out sprint, causing herself to fall over the front onto some Slytherin boys who looked at her in a disgusted way before realizing that Ginny was like totally hot! Then they just snickered and winked in her direction as she removed herself from them and looked around the room.

"Where is Draco?" Hermione screamed to the common room. Everyone looked at her strangely. "Where is Draco?" she repeated, louder, with a look of mild craziness on her face, her nostrils flared, her breathing hard.

People seem to have their "nostrils flared" and their "breathing hard" in this fic as much as they scream and fall over.

Shut up.

Pansy Parkinson looked at Hermione with her nose in the air and said, "He doesn't want to see you, Mudblood," then she and her friends collapsed into fits of giggles.

Ginny walked right up to Pansy and slapped her across the face.

"Cat fight!" someone screamed, and before they knew what was happening Ginny and Pansy were into a deep fight, scratching at each other and pulling one another's hair.

Hermione grinned evilly and slowly sidestepped to the stairs at the left side of the room and ran down them, happy to see the sign on the door that said, "Sixth Year Boys." Because she is Hermione and can go anywhere she darn well pleases.

Hermione took a deep breath, brushed her very, very, straight beautifully groomed hair out of her face so it cascaded down her back, and opened the door.

Draco looked up from where he was sitting on his bed to see the beautiful girl standing there wearing this like, gorgeous black halter top and this great leather mini-skirt and smirked. Hermione had changed over the summer, she had grown curves in all the right places, not too mention those legs! Because we all know that Hermione is just like, totally not a bookworm, and totally hot, right? Malfoy purred slightly.

Hermione ran over to him and sat down on his lap. "Did you miss me?"

Ginny grabbed Pansy by the hair and threw her onto the ground.

"How dare you insult Hermione!" Ginny screamed as she kicked the girl in the ribs. "She's worth more than anything you'll ever be!" she kicked her once more for good measure, then turned to look at everyone in the common room.

All of the Slytherins stared at her wide-eyed. She hadn't seemed the type to just randomly beat someone up. But of course they were Slytherins and she was a Gryffindor and a Slytherin would never take the time to actually get to know a Gryffindor, so they couldn't really say what type she was.

But they were surprised nonetheless.

Suddenly, Ginny was pulled down from behind as Pansy grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and let her fall to the ground. Pansy scratched her arm, just like a pansy would, and slapped her across the face.

Everyone in the common room gasped.

Ginny grabbed the side of her face and looked up to Pansy. "You – bitch -!" she screamed as she lunged at her one more time, pushed her to the ground, grabbed her shirt by the collar to bring her head up, and punched her squarely in the face, completely knocking her out.

Everyone in the common room gasped again.

Ginny quickly stood and straightened herself up as she looked around the room for Hermione. Her eyebrows stitched themselves together as her eyes narrowed.

"That backstabbing, betraying, stupid, ugly, little -" Ginny cut herself off as she began to run down the stairs to the boys' dormitory, because Ginny is awesome and knows where everything is, right? She made a quick right to the first door labeled "Sixth Year Boys" and stopped abruptly.

Hermione heard footsteps come from outside and quickly pushed Draco off of her slightly. "Someone's coming," she whispered, not moving from where she laid on his bed.

Draco turned to look at the door, removing himself from on top of Hermione and fixing his hair and smoothing his clothes. "Quick, go out the bathroom window!" he hissed to her, grabbing her hand to help her off of the bed as she smoothed out her mini-skirt.

Draco gazed into her eyes for a moment before bringing his hand up to her neck, and kissing her one last time. Then he pushed her into the bathroom, grabbed the first book he saw - "Magical Herbs and Fungi"-and sat on his bed.

Outside, Ginny took a deep breath before slamming open the door and screaming, "You little slut!"

Draco looked over to the door from where he sat on his bed, a book open in his lap, and saw Ginny standing in the doorway. Suddenly all thoughts of Hermione left his mind as the stunning redhead stood there. Because we all know that Hermione and Ginny are like so totally perfect and flawless, right? Yes. We do. Because they are hot.

Anyways, Draco looked up to see Ginny standing there, her hair slightly askew and her clothes wrinkled from the fight, and smirked. Hasn't this happened once before?

Oh well.

Ginny gave Draco a menacing look and shouted, "Where's Hermione?"

Draco pushed the book off of his lap and stood up from his bed. "Do you see her?" he replied, holding his arms out and looking around himself.

Ginny looked around, and being the oh-so-bright girl she was, smiled and said, "No."

Draco smirked even bigger as he walked towards her, slamming the door with his hand as he pushed her up against the wall. He could feel her take a sharp intake of breath.

Draco quite gets around, doesn't he? Yes, yes he does. Because he is hot.

Draco brought his face down to hers and they inched their faces closer together-

Back outside in the Great Hall Harry and Ron sat eating lunch, attempting to throw grapes into each others mouths, but whether on purpose or not, they kept missing and "accidentally" nibbling each others fingers.

Ron giggled as Harry attempted to pry a grape out of out of Ron's fingers with his mouth.

Suddenly Hermione came from nowhere (honest, she did) and sat down opposite the two boys.

Ron screamed slightly and Harry jumped as she appeared.

Harry's eyes widened as he focused on the girl. Her hair was in complete disarray and her face was a bit flushed.

"Where have you been?" Ron asked, looking her up and down.

"Nowhere," Hermione panted, as she grabbed a half an apple and ate two bites of it before getting up again.

"That's it?" Harry asked, looking at her strangely, "You're not going to eat anymore?"

Hermione looked down at him with a slightly superior look on her face and said, "Are you kidding? That's like carb-o-rama! My gorgeous body couldn't handle that. I might gain an ounce!" And with that she flipped her hair and walked out of the Great Hall.
