Chapter 5- Let the War Begin

"… So Pansy's in charge of activities, Blaise is in charge of decorations, Ginny's in charge of Music, and I'll be in charge of creating the masks." Said Hermione

"Great… um Hermione it's 1:30 in the morning and I'm really tired." Yawned Ginny.

"Yeah… your right." Said Hermione. "Bye you guys."

"Goodbye." The two Slytherins said together.

"I swear, their doing that just to freak me out." Muttered Ginny as she and Hermione walked up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. (Hermione was sleeping with the Gryffindors that night because sleeping in the same area as Malfoy after you've slapped him across the face could be potentially dangerous.)

"Hermione why did you keep us out so late?" Ginny yawned "I mean, we could have talked about it in Hogsmead or something.

"Well maybe we wouldn't have been so late if you and Pansy hadn't talked about The Nine Lives of Chloe King for half an hour."

"But I thought we would just make up the time in Hogsmead tommorrw."

"Wait Ginny… what did you say?"

"Hogsmead. You, Pansy, Blaise, and I are going together. Remember, Blaise suggested it and you agreed."

"Crap"

"What's the matter?"

"I told Harry I'd go to Hogsmead with him."

"Wait Hermione… do you like him?"

"Not in the way I think he wants me to."

"Oh… well… I'll hang with Pansy and Blaise and get to know them better."

"Cool." Said Hermione "Hey Ginny I need to run into my room and get my toothbrush."

"Hermione you can go one night without brushing your teeth, Malfoy may still need some calming down."

"I think I can handle Malfoy, I mean, during the final battle I took on Bellatrix Lestrange and won. Her nephew shouldn't be so hard, wait here." Said Hermione. She ran to her portrait, mumbled the password, ran across the common room she and Malfoy shared, opened her bedroom door, and was instantly covered on cottage cheese.

"Holy Shit!" she screamed wiping the extra cottage cheese from her eyes.

"Well Granger, I decided to match your domestic violence with a friendly prank." Smirked Malfoy as he leaned against the doorframe looking at his fingernails."

"Fuck you Malfoy"

"You wish."

"AUGH I HATE YOU!" Hermione yelled and stormed out.

"Hermione what happened?" Ginny asked, her eyes wide

"Let's just say that if Malfoy wants to throw pranks he shouldn't mess with Hermione Ann Granger." Hermione mumbled as she muttered the password and stormed into the Gryffindor common room.

A/N: I know this chapter was super short, but it would have gotten really boring if it was any longer. Besides I make up for it in the next chapter, trust me. ;) lepperd
