Well thank you to the 4 reviewers :) really much appreciated.

Dinner with the Devil and an offer you cant refuse!

It was Monday, and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table in the great hall, eating her dinner. Next to her sat Ginny and on her other side was Harry. Nibbling on her drumstick, Ginny turned to Hermione and hesitated before asking, "Umm anything ever happened between you and Malfoy?"

Hermione who had a mouth pull of potatoes in her mouth choked at Ginny's question. Narrowing her eyes at the red headed girl Hermione wiped her mouth to clear it of any mess. "Ginny have you lost your mind?" She didn't give the girl enough time to answer. "Well im done im going back to the common room".

"But Dinners just started and Dumbledore said he has something he wants to say", Ginny leapt to her feet and stood in front of Hermione, blocking her way. "Ron said something about him saying you two were on a wall or something like that together. Sorry I was just wondering", she lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this moment Hermione had thought her friend had gone crazy, until she remembered what happened two days ago. She rubbed her forehead and sat back down, she had tried hard very hard the last two days to keep out of Draco's way. She waited for Ginny to sit back down as well. When she didn't sit, Hermione grabbed Ginny's sleeve and tugged her to sit down. "Ok look Gin; nothing is going on between me and Malfoy. Its just I wanted to get Ron off…" She stopped as her eyes came in contact with a certain Slytherin's. He was making his way over, wait. He was making his way over to her! "Oh god no!"

"Well, well, well. Now you don't seem so happy to see me sweety", he shoved the Weasley girl aside and took his place next to Hermione and watched as Harry started to stand and face him. "Ah no need Potter. I have an invite from lover girl here", he said as he lazily pointed his finger at Hermione.

Hermione being in shock had no idea what to say or do. She just looked at Draco in disbelief and then it hit her. The ferret was sitting next to her. "Eww what do you think your doing!" She jumped up and looked at Draco as if he was a pile of manure. She pushed Harry on the shoulder to get him to move down to another spot on the table.

"Oh now you want to get away. Funny how you always seem to want it in private. I mean you were cheating on the weasel with me, right?" he rested his head on his palm and smiled at them.

Harry's eyes went wide open and all he could do was stare at Hermione and pray she was going to say something. Ron had told him about Saturday, but he didn't believe Hermione would do that, but now he had heard it from the ferrets own mouth. "So it's true…Hermi…Granger, you've gone too far. You cheated on my best friend, YOUR best friend, and with this" he waved his hand in Draco's direction.

"It's not true, I just wanted to brake up with Ron!" she pleaded. Too bad it wasn't the right thing to say.

"Why couldn't you just say you didn't like him like that? Why go and start all this shit? Girl, you're an idiot keep out of my way. You don't deserve Ron anyways" Ginny had erupted. She walked away and behind went Harry.

Hermione sat down slowly, placing both hands calmly in front of her on the table; she hesitatingly fixed the place of the spoon and fork. Then she lifted her head up, suppressing tears and turned to look at Draco. "Well that went…well", she smirked and looked side on at Draco. "Can I have my wallet now?"

He huffed and lowered his voice, "Meet me at the usual place. And don't bring anyone this time. Its quality time" he lifted himself of the bench and headed towards the Slytherin table, his head held high and a little 'oomph' in his walk.

An evil smirk appeared on Hermione's face before she turned to catch Lavender's attention. "Hey Lav, shove over here." The girls talked for about an hour before Dumbledore stood over his pedestal and cleared his throat. The whole of the hall went silent and in unison they all faced him.

He looked around at all his students, smiled and began his speech. "Im glad to announce to you all that I am offering a wonderful opportunity to fourteen Hogwarts students. Once this school year is over, in another two weeks, most of you all will be on the Hogwarts train going home, though fourteen of you will be on a unicorn carriage, flying over the seas and on your way to South America. The El Gato Negro magic shopping mall, is giving our school the chance to let you work in some of the most high class shops there is. You will be working in a different environment and this will also give you a promised 'O' in your O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S in muggle studies. So please think hard about this opportunity and once you've made your choice there is a black chart on my door, just point your wand at the sheet and say your name. You will instantly be entered into the lucky draw. Well…" he took a breathe and smiled. "..That is all." He took his place on the head table and lifted his goblet to his lips.

Hermione smiled, put her napkin on her empty plate and left the great hall. She turned around and made sure no one was following her as she made her way up the astronomy tower stairs. She unbuttoned her top button and let her hair loose. She thought about the offer that was given to them all, and she knew she wanted it. She just didn't know how she would get it without just plain luck. Opening the roof door, she let her thought slip away and focus on this secret meeting. The door closed behind her and she looked around the tower rooftop. No one in sight, then she heard someone approaching up the stairs. Hopefully it was him, if it wasn't they were in trouble. The door flung wide open, and no one was behind it. "That's odd" she thought to herself. Not noticing the swift noise of a cloak being pulled off she went over to the edge and looked down. She had come up here many times before with Ron when they were 'dating', and many times she had craved to just push the red headed goof off the edge. "If only".

"Granger, I wouldn't get too close. You wouldn't want to fall now would you" Draco had commented as he swiftly made his way to her. His lips curling into a smirk as he saw her role her eyes at him. "You seem…preoccupied…with thoughts. True?"

She shook her head and glared at him, and then her glare turned into a look of delight, "just thinking of throwing Ron off here". She scratched her head and sighed. "Malfoy its cold, what do we need to discuss? Im doing everything right. Ron and Harry are off my back, not to mention the ugly weasel as well. So I have time to plan this all before I befriend them again, so please tell me what I've done wrong so I can fix it to your standards", she said the last part with sarcasm.

He licked his lip and put his arm over her shoulder and rested his back on the brick wall, pulling her with him. They stood next to each other and he talked first. "You see Granger, I know this whole arrangement has been weird…well more than weird but you get the point right?" he received a nod so he continued. "And you know that we have to do our best to get them all alone separately to get our mission done. Yea? Well I knew about Dumbledore's offer. My father contacted me yesterday and let me know, and it's simple. Hes got researchers finding how we can hack into that black sheet, but till then I suggest we apply for it just incase."

She looked up at him a look of puzzlement on her face. "But don't you think that the fourteen spaces mean two from every year?"

"He didn't say that now, did he? Well we just try it out and see what happens. Get the red head to apply because she's first on our hit list." He replied to her, he then started to head towards the door. Just before he went inside, "Granger. Follow me." And he disappeared behind the door. He ran down the stairs in a hurry so none of the pictures would wakeup, he passed Snape's office but then he stood for a moment and went back. He knocked quietly on his door praying he'd open the door before someone walls past. Just as the door opened Hermione appeared.

"What do you want Draco", Snape asked unenthusiastically, he also noticed Hermione, "Ah miss Granger. Im taking it that you two are here to talk about…get it" He snapped as he heard a rattle in the distance. The two darted into his room, Draco sitting on the leather master chair and Hermione leaned onto his table. They waited patiently as he closed the door, went to open a candle and made some tea for himself. The atmosphere was thick and very uncomfortable. "So, what is it that you needed to talk about?" Draco had gone to say something when Snape shushed him with his finger. He grabbed his wand and put a spell on the door so no one could eardrop. He then went and sat on his couch and indicated for Draco to talk.

"Well father told me yesterday about Dumbledore's offer, and father has set researchers to try and find a way to hack into that sheet so we can put our names", he pointed to himself and Hermione. "And the names of the others".

Snape sipped his tea and played with a strip of his hair that fell into his face. He looked deep in thought and then he clicked his fingers. "I've got it. Tomorrow Draco in potions you and miss Granger must try and convince of the others to put their names in the sheet", he looked like he had just made a brilliant plan, but when he looked up at the two, their faces were completely blank.

"Err that already being taken care of sir, all we wanted to know really was if we have any other tasks we have to do", Draco told him and shifted his position is the chair.

Snape glared at Draco and sneered, "Well im sorry that I cant be any help to you. The dark lord has decided that its no longer safe to send owls to each other." Snape looked very irritated as he said this. "Well anyway it doesn't matter, now you two go away and come back when you have made progress, and if tomorrow you need to have a quick conference simply argue, as usual and I'll send you out of my classroom so you can discuss whatever it is you need to talk about", he got up set his tea down and went to the door. He grabbed the handle and smiled a distasteful smile at them both. "Get out now".

Hermione and Draco both stood, Draco left first. Hermione stood there with Snape, he glanced her up and down. "Granger, become a big girl haven't you" he smirked.

She simply made a face of disgust, "Now you don't want the dark lord to punish you for annoying one of his number one spy's, would you?" she grinned when a look of panic swept across his face. "Bye Professor". With that she walked out the door and headed back to the common room.

Meanwhile

"Harry I don't think her and Malfoy are up to anything. Just because Lavender said doesn't mean anything", Ginny sat looking at Harry, she was ignoring her brothers rude comments towards Hermione. "Look we lost our temper at her today. She didn't deserve that, and she even said nothing was going on. Really Harry you have been best friends for ages. I think she just panicked when her and Ron broke up and she made it seem like something was happening so Ron would leave her alone. Honestly in my heart I don't think Hermione would ever hurt us Harry". She got up and walked to the girls dorms, leaving Harry and Ron to sit and think about what she said.

"Good night mate", Ron said after a moment of thinking. He headed up to bed. So Harry was the only one left, he sat down and wondered about all the years Ron, Hermione and himself shared together. "Of course she'd never hurt us, your just being silly Harry". He also got up and went to bed.

A/N Boo! Did I scare ya? Hahaha any who that's all for this week... maybe… oh this was more fun than studying. GO ME! Well tell me what you think of it so far.
