Your Joking Right?
Chapter:
Let the Madness...BEGIN!
A step towards normal, or so Draco and Hermione think..
"Day 2 in Alien Nation" Emery sighed as she walked along the dark corridor to the Slytherin Dungeons, where she had been sorted. A few people glanced at her and scurried by, she gave them dirty looks. She hated this school already, the people were annoying beyond reason, the teachers were complete imbeciles, and worst of all, she was stuck here with her cousin, the one person she just could not stand.
As she neared the door Emery stepped up to the dragon statue and whispered the password, flipping her golden blonde hair over her shoulder, she smirked as the statue moved aside so she could enter the common room.
"Em!" she heard a voice shout.
'Oh God' Emery thought as she pinned on her fakest smile and crossed her arms, making herself appear calm, but happy to see the girl.
Pansy Parkinson sauntered up to Emery and smiled,
"Look who's here" Pansy jolted her head towards the corner of the common room.
Emery's violet eyes snapped over to the corner where they met a pair of icy blue ones, Emery smirked, gave a tiny wink and turned back towards Pansy,
"I've seen him around, who is he?" she asked, talking about the boy she had seen the very first time she had came to this school.
"Only the hottest guy in the school" Pansy sighed. She grabbed Emery arms and led her up the stairs to the seventh year dormitory. The girls sat on opposite beds and Pansy began talking, Emery laid her chin in her hands and listened, sincerely interested.
"First off, his name is Draco Alexander Malfoy, he is a seventh year student, like me. He is third smartest in my class after your filthy cousins Hermione and Blaise. He comes from one of the richest wizarding families in London, a whole line of purebloods the Malfoys are. He is also really good at Quidditch, presently seeker on the Slytherin Team.I went out with him for almost 2 months before your mudblood of a cousin stole him away, but I think he was just using her" Anything else?" Pansy took a deep breath and smiled.
"No, I think you about covered it" Draco sighed, glaring from the door, the light hitting his hair at a perfect angle which gave it an immaculate glow.
"Draco" Pansy purred, "Were you spying on me?"
"No" he replied, in a bored tone, "You left the door wide open."
Emery let out a tiny giggle, Draco smirked at her and Pansy glared.
Draco turned to leave, "Oh, one thing, I was using you, not Hermione"
Pansy cursed and threw a pillow at the top of his head, Emery jumped up from the bed and gave the girl a tiny, sympathetic smile, then followed in Draco's wake.
"So, you're the notorious Draco Malfoy I've heard so much about"
Draco turned to find the cousin Hermione dreaded, Emery. "Well, judging by that conversation you know nothing about me"
"Oh, but I do" she smiled. "Everyone talks about you around here" Emery paused for a dramatic sigh, "Even my cousin"
Draco spun on his heel, he had this puppy-like look on his face, "What does Hermione say about me?"
"Oh nothing" Emery flipped her hair and exited the port-hole, making her way to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Come on McCain, you're her cousin, I know you know something"
"Maybe I do, Maybe I don't" Emery winked, shooting him a mischievous smile. Oh how she loved being a tease.
Draco rolled his eyes, 'Did she honestly think he was that dense?' Well she was messing with the wrong person. Draco Malfoy is the king at cat and mouse chase.
"Fine, I'll just go ask Hermione" he walked ahead of her and straight into the Great Hall.
"Draco wait!"
He smirked then spun around, an all-too innocent look on his face. "You rang dear?"
Emery wriggled her finger and walked out of the hall only to turn around and find Draco sauntering towards her cousin.
"Hermione 1, Emery 0 this is not going to work" she scowled, "Time for plan B"

Hermione had watched the whole incident from the Gryffindor Table with Ginny. As she sat there seething she couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on between Emery and Draco. But she put on a smug smile as Emery swayed her hips out of the hall and Draco did a complete ditch on her. She wiped the smile off her face and glanced back at Ginny as she saw him head towards them at the Gryffindor Table, self-consciously she checked her appearance in the dinner plate before her, all good. She pretended to laugh at something Colin said when she saw Draco had arrived at their table.
"Excuse me, Ginny, may I have a word?" he looked pointedly at the red-head who hid her shock and gave a weak smile.
"Sure"
She stepped up from her friends and followed Draco out of the hall. She could feel Hermione's eyes on her so she turned and gave a shrug of the shoulder.
'I have no idea'
Draco came to a halt at the end of the main staircase, he turned to face Ginny who was slowly creeping up behind him.
"What do you want Draco?"
"You"
Ginny was startled, she stepped back a pace and raised her hand as if to smack him,
"She's my best friend you..." she swung.
Draco caught her hand easily and let out a sincere laugh.
"Gee Weasley if that's how you take a joke I may as well never talk to you again"
Ginny let out a laugh then gave him a playful shove.
"Very funny Draco" She tugged at her hair, "God, I almost died"
"Too good to be true aye?"
"Oh yeah!" she replied sarcastically. "Now what do you really want?"
"Well ugh.." His voice quieted and he shuffled his feet a little.
"Draco Malfoy, nervous?"
"Shut Up, I kinda wanted to know if Hermionewasstillintome?"
Ginny held up a hand, "Wait, rewind, I didn't catch that"
"Do you think Hermione would give me another chance?"
"Oh" Ginny beamed "Im sure, Go ask her!"
"Yeah, okay, thanks Weasley"
"No problem Malfoy"
Little did they know someone was listening in on there conversation, and she was not happy.

Draco found Hermione in the library, studying as usual, her nose buried in an 'Ancient Runes' book. She didn't even glance up as Draco approached her well hidden table in the corner of the library.
'Same old Hermione' he thought to himself, and smiled.
"Hey Hermione"
"Hmmm" she muttered, eyes still glued to the book.
"What are you studying?"
Her finger pointed to the book cover.
"Oh I see, anything interesting?"
She sighed and slammed the book down on the table,
"Draco, really, I must study, exams are only 3 weeks away!"
"I know, I know, but Hermione I really need to talk to you, now" Draco persisted.
"Umm.." Hermione looked at her wristwatch, "Ok, you have 5 minutes"
Draco smiled, a genuine smile.
"Look, Mione, you know I like you, always have, always will..
He began, Hermione blushed.
"And, I am really sorry about what happened, it was a silly fight, people fight all the time, and I think, if you wanted to, and if we tried, we could put it behind us and be the happy couple we were before. So Hermione Jane.. What do you say?"
Hermione was stunned,
'Oh how she wanted to be back in his arms, but, did she want to go through the pain again?. She could also use Draco around when her cousin was here'
Hermione smiled, and got up from the table. She turned her back on the blonde boy, who sat there with a hurt look on his face, until Hermione whispered in his ear,
"I'd love too!"
Well Guys, hope you are happy! Review, and make me happy! 3 NiCoLe
