A/N My third chapter! In my last A/N, I said I didn't know how to do chapters. Obviously I figured it out but it won't edit so...yeah. Enjoy!
Hermione was walking to Pansy's 'cave' and felt ridiculously nervous. She was just going to get her finger healed! And have her crush found out about, a snide voice in her head pointed out.
"Oh, shut up" grumbled Hermione, not noticing the third year Hufflepuff's walking past and looking scared as she did. As her feet carried her towards the Room of Requirement (or, as Hermione called it, RoR for simplicity) she started to think of what Harry and Ron would say. Oh Merlin. What would they say? They'd probably take her to St Mungo's she giggled. Or accuse Draco of brainwashing her. Or using Amortentia. No! It's Malfoy, she chided herself mentally. The use of his first name would definitely worry them.
A few minutes later she was at the RoR. Nervously, she walked back and forth three times and thought 'I need to see Pansy's cave. I need to see Pansy's cave. I need to see Pansy's cave'. As she opened her eyes she saw the entrance in all of its mystical (if a little cliched) glory.
"Come in," called Pansy mysteriously "I won't bite"
Rolling her eyes, she stepped in.
"Ah, Hermione, what can I do for you? Surely the Gryffindor Princess (I can call you that, can't I? Thanks.) could heal herself...but never mind! Now, what do you need me to heal?"
"Well, Pugly (I can call you that, can't I? Thanks.) Hagrid brought me too close to an Occamy so...here." Hermione held out her finger, refusing to wince and not show weakness in front of a Slytherin. Pansy inspected the finger and laughed shrilly.
"But of course Gryffindor Princess! Easy! Now, hold still and...episkey totalus!" Hermione showed no emotion even though it felt like her bone was being turned into liquid then hardened in a pool of freezing water.
"Oh, and Princess, my payment?"
"Fine. What do you want to know Pugly?"
"Who your crush is of course! And there is someone. I can tell. Don't lie!"
Should I tell her? Probably. Or she'll tell the whole school I fancy Filch. Ugh. Don't think that 'Mione, stay away from that image! Fine. Deep breath and...
"MycrushisDracoMalfoyhe'ssofreakinghotIcan'thelpitpleasedon'ttellhimorHarryorRonoranyoneforthatmattercanIgonow?"
Pansy stared. This was incredible! The mudblood fancied her boyfriend! The Slytherin Prince! Amazing! What fun she could have - it wasn't like she herself liked Draco - oh no, a certain scarred Gryffindor with glasses and green eyes held her affections - but she merely went along with her parents wishes. And did a damned good job of pretending she liked him too! Even Draco was convinced! A mischievous smile grew on her lips. Oh, the possibilities! But...yes, that spell was perfect! Now to break the news.
"Princess, I'm not sorry for what I'm about to do. You see, I'm a matchmaker as well! Missa in dolore!"
Hermione's eyes widened. Pansy, what have you done?!
A/N yes I know! Hermione falls in love with Draco somehow cliche but...I think you can decide how! Personally I like the whole it just grows on her and she can't explain why reason but you choose!
Please R&R (read and review people)!
