Chapter 3: A word of Advice

"How I ended up with such a dunderhead of a godson is beyond me," Severus Snape drawled, taking a sip from his wine goblet.

Draco looked flustered for a moment, then slipped back into his cold facade.

"That's not what I meant," Draco ground out, frustrated. He took a long drink of wine.

"A word of advice, Draco. You need to be a Slytherin about this."

Three months later

Draco had made a quick business of it, Severus Snape mused. Barely a week after their conversation, Ronald Weasley had been caught cheating with one of his Quidditch groupies and promptly disgraced and banished from good Wizarding society. A week after that, he heard rumors of a new power couple. Days after, Draco had brought Hermione to the exclusive, weekly Malfoy Sunday dinners. He had overheard a conversation between Draco and Hermione.

"Thank you."

"Whatever for?"

"For getting rid of Weasley," Hermione smirked, "and for finding me."

"Well then, you are most welcome." Draco had an equal smirk on his face, and he promptly kissed her.

In the shadows, Severus Snape smirked as well. Turns out, in making Draco more Slytherin, he had unwittingly turned Hermione into one as well.

Let me know what you think, and if you have any requests for the subject of the next chapter! Please review! Thank you for reading.
