Disclaimer: I do not own anything Harry Potter related, that belongs to the lovely and talented JKR and I basically own the plot. That's it.
Yay, the next chapter is here. Took about an hour, now onto my other stories. I have a schedule on my profile so you know when to expect a new chapter of my story. It explains everything there, make sure you read the bold. ~May
Chapter 6
Draco paused for a moment; did he really want this kiss to happen? Of course he did, there was no denying now that he was in love with the bookworm. Really, Draco told himself, I've known since third year that I love her; I was just unwilling to admit it. He looked up at the girl who was reading one of her own books, a slight smile played across Draco's lips as he watched her.
"Hermione?" Draco suddenly asked leaning forward; he didn't even know what he was going to say.
"Mhmm?" She replied not looking up from her book, it unnerved Draco, how did he know he was getting an honest answer.
"I was wondering if it were possible- no, if you'd like to-" A sudden knock came on the door interrupting Draco. Hermione looked up then went and opened it. The youngest Weasley was standing there with Harry Potter.
"Hi, come one in." Hermione waved to the room, Draco sat back in the chair looking uncomfortable. Now he couldn't ask Hermione on the date he was planning, he wanted to earn that first kiss.
"Were we interrupting something?" Ginny asked wiggling her eyebrows suggestively and looking at Draco's stance on the chair; Yes, Draco wanted to say.
"No it's fine, sit down." They took up the two person couch and sadly there wasn't another chair except for the one Draco was sitting in. Hermione was looking around before Draco got up.
"Take it; I'll be in the kitchen." He told her then proceeded to exit the room to try and find something to eat.
Draco
"Signed up for the relay races yet?" I heard Hermione ask from the next room. I picked up a green apple and pressed my ear against the swinging door biting into the apple.
"Yeah we signed up this morning, noticed that Draco had his name up, but his partner's name wasn't on there." Ginny raised her eyebrows at Hermione.
"Really, I wonder why?" Hermione's voice softened, I wanted it to be a surprise and so instead of her name I'd written Mystery Guest. I wanted to keep her a surprise, we had a good chance of winning with her skills and I wanted to be the one to show her off to the school.
"Don't know, but now I'm wondering who this mystery guest is. I wonder if they're a girl, and if they are if they're like all the other girls Draco's dated. Sluts, you know?" Ginny spoke out; I choked on my apple and started hitting my chest with my fist, a ripe coughing fit plaguing my body.
"It's almost dinner; you want to head down with us Hermione?" Harry asked and Draco returned to the door, glaring at the apple that was dripping juice down his hand.
"I can't, McGonagall made it a rule that the head have to go to Dinner together, and Breakfast. Sorry." Hermione told them and I nearly choked on air, McGonagall never said that. Was she making excuses to be around me now? I need the book, oh wait, I reminded myself, the book is out on the dang coffee table!
"We'll see you down there then." Harry and Ginny got up and left and I threw the apple core away washing my hands off. Stupid Apple Juice.
"Draco, what were you-" Hermione cut off as she entered the kitchen, why I had no idea.
"What was I what?" I prompted, she pointed behind me, her eyes as round as sauce pans, face paler than the Bloody Baron. "What's behind me?"
"It's uh- uh- uh." Hermione was whimpering, I carefully drew my wand and turned around slowly. There on the wall was a giant Black Widow.
"Confringo!" I shouted, just as scared as she was. The spider moved swiftly coming right for me; my spell missed it by a millimeter. As it leveled out on the counter, I shouted the only spell I knew could kill it for sure. "Avada Kedavra!"
The spider curled up dead and I was shaking. Even casting that spell on a spider scared me, I never wanted to use the unforgiveable curses, they were downright scary. Hermione came up behind me peeking over my shoulder.
"You got it right?" She asked, not even phased that I used that kind of spell.
"Yeah, I hate using those." I shuddered and Hermione gave me a hug from the back, her clasped hands situated around my navel. My heart began to pound steadily faster.
"The unforgiveable curses?" She asked pressing her face into my back, a tingle went down my spine and I barely held myself back from shuddering, in two ways.
"Yeah, they scare me to death." I sighed turning to face her, pulling her into a small hug.
"Let's go down to dinner and tell McGonagall about the infestation." Hermione suggested.
"Why do we have to tell her?" I asked wishing I could avoid the topic.
"When there's one Black Widow there's bound to be more." Hermione gave me a weak smile. Without her knowing it, she slipped her hand into mine and sort of pulled me toward the door. It felt so right to have her hand placed there, it was amazing.
Hermione (Third Person)
"No way, you have got to be kidding!" Ginny exclaimed covering her mouth with her hands, flinging the food on her fork over her shoulder by accident, it hit a Ravenclaw in the head.
"I'm not; he's really sweet this year. I think he's always wanted to be like this but his family wouldn't have allowed it." Hermione glanced over at where Draco was sitting, she still didn't know what Draco was going to ask her earlier and it was driving her nuts.
"We'll just have to keep an eye on him then." Harry suggested.
"We don't have to, Draco has changed, and he deserves to have friends." Hermione defended, watching how lonely Draco looked.
"Ron's thinking about taking that Auror offer and leaving Hogwarts." Harry announced trying to change the subject.
"That's not my problem; he can do whatever he wants." Hermione sniffed in reply, Ron had been anything but understanding and she wasn't going to forgive him anytime soon.
"Well, you should consider at least being his friend again."
"No way, last time I was his friend he hurt me too much, he doesn't care about how others feel it's all about himself." Hermione told them, then got up and walked out of the hall.
Remember, writing schedule on my profile, the spider creeped me out. I'm deadly afraid of spiders, no matter how small I will scream. Figured it'd be a good thing to have them be afraid of, especially since it's so poisonous.
