Hermione took a step towards him. "Oh Draco, Draco. You're right, I shouldn't deny my love for you any longer. You see, I've hid my love for you for so long that it is hard for me to say this to you," Hermione said pausing to gauge his reaction. Malfoy was giving her a look of disgust.
"Hermione! You aren't serious, are you? I'm going to kick your ass, Malfoy! I'll rearrange that pretty boy face of yours! You did something to her!" Ron said, clearly outraged.
"Ron, calm down. Hermione knows what she's doing…I think," said Harry, sounding a bit uncertain.
"You sound a bit uncertain! That's not comforting at all, Harry," said Ron anxiously.
"Let the girl have some space. Give it a chance. On wrong move and WHAM-instant knockout for Malfoy," said Harry happily.
"Now that's more like it!" They turned to listen to her speak.
"Ever since my secret has come out in those beautiful purple tabloids-like the one sticking out of our dear professor's pocket," Hermione said, glancing at the newspaper. Snape looked slightly embarrassed.
"I wasn't really reading it…15 points from Gryffindor for making absurd assumptions!" He crumpled up the newspaper and threw it at Ron's head.
"What? What did I do? It's Hermione who's making a scene!" Ron shouted, scowling at Snape.
"Yes, but it's a very entertaining scene. 15 more points from Gryffindor for simply being alive!"
"Oh yeah? Well, I bet you don't even know what Starbursts are!" Ron cried triumphantly.
"Weasley, you-"
"ALRIGHT, SHUT UP ALREADY!" Neville screamed at the top of his lungs. Everyone stared at him. "What? I just want to hear the rest of Hermione's love speech…or whatever you call it." Neville whispered.
Hermione sighed. "Yes, thank you Neville. I have to get the rest of this out before I explode with love for Drakie." Malfoy looked as if he wanted to throw up. Goyle actually did throw up. Hermione waited impatiently as Goyle was picked up and thrown out of the room-I mean, he was carefully walked down to the Hospital Wing.
"As I was saying before, although I have always loved him, I wasn't completely sure if the feeling was mutual. But those lovely tabloids that the two airheads of-
"OH MY GOD! You did it again, Hermione! Muggle Candy! Why is everyone mocking me? What did I ever do to you guys, huh? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?" Ron screamed.
A Gryffindorgirl with short black hair stood up. "Last week, Weasley, you stole all the food on my plate and ate it. I went to get some more and you ate that too!"
Ron shuffled his feed. "Uh…"
A short Gryffindorgirl with blonde hair stood up too. "You turned my hair red, white, and blue! With stars! I'm not American, dammit! I'm not American!" she shrieked.
"What's wrong with Americans?" Dean wondered.
Ron raised his hand. "That was an accident, I meant to hex Harry's owl."
Harry stood up. "What! Why'd you want to do that to Hedwig?"
"She gave me a funny look," Ron mumbled.
A Slytherin with messy robes and messy brown hair stood up. "Look what you did to my robes and hair, Weasley! I'll get you for this!"
His girlfriend, a slim girl with square glasses put a hand on his shoulder. "Gideon, that's the way your hair and robes look everyday!"
"Yeah, but Weasley doesn't know that."
A rather thin boy Slytherin with a messy set of braids stood up. "He POISONED my cat!" he shouted. Everyone stared at him. "What? You don't believe me?"
"No, not really," said Seamus.
"Darn, I was hoping he'd fall for it.
"SILENCE!" Snape yelled. Everyone quieted instantly. "All of you, not a word out of anyone. And why did everyone feel the need to stand up when they talked?" Everyone shrugged, except for Ron who was sulking.
"Draco, dearest. I owe my life to those two air- I mean gossipers." Hermione continued, glancing at Ron. "Without them, I would've never known how much you truly cared. Breaking up with Pansy for me? I'm touched, Draco. I truly am. Such sweet names you have for me, Gryffindor Princess? Beautiful Draco, really. I never thought of myself as the witch of extreme perfection. I'm ecstatic to hear that you think I am extremely perfect." Hermione finished her rather long speech, and gave Malfoy a dazzling smile. Inside, Hermione was laughing. 'Oh, revenge is sweet. He won't recover from this for a long time. Ha, I can't wait to see what he'll do next. He's probably incredibly angry…oh this is great!'
The classroom roared with laughter. Malfoy's face was red, whether from anger or embarrassment, no one could tell.
'How dare she play me at my own game? Not only has she turned the table, but she's left me speechless! I don't do speechless.' Malfoy thought fiercely, gazing at Hermione in deep thought. What he needed was the best comeback ever. Something that would shut her up, make her look stupid, humiliate her, and at the same make an even greater scene than her. 'Nobody outdoes a Malfoy! I am the greatest at everything, so if Snape thinks that Granger is entertaining, then dammit I have to be the most entertaining! But what to do?'. He had no idea in hell what to do. He did know that for him to make a scene, he'd either have to go along with her accusations or deny them completely. He decided that he'd go along with them, at least for now. 'Some of them are true, I mean I really did say, and it's kind of true-NO! Do not finish that thought! I'm not even safe from her in my mind anymore!' He shook his head to clear it. And then, at that moment, he knew what to do. The question was, would he be able to do it?
Malfoy took a step forward, his eyes glinting with an emotion Hermione could not identify. He stepped closer. Hermione began to back away, a bit scared. He grabbed her shoulders roughly. She couldn't move.
"So Granger, you must think you're so great, almost managing to embarrass me. But I don't embarrass so easily," he whispered in her ear, each word dripping with venom and the promise of revenge. Hermione shuddered as she felt his breath on her neck. She tried to twist away but he held on tight.
"Neither do I, Malfoy. If you're planning to do something, why don't you just do it? I can take anything your weak ass can manage to throw at me." Hermione whispered angrily. 'Why isn't Snape putting an end to this?' Hermione turned painfully to look at Snape. He was busy reading a wrinkly copy of The Super Secret Files of the Totally Popular Spy Girlz that he must have fished out of the trash can near the door. Their classmates were still watching though.
"Oh, believe me Granger, I will be doing something. But I doubt you'll be able to take it" He looked directly into her eyes. Hermione stared back defiantly.
"Bring it on, you filthy Death Eater," Hermione whispered.
"As you wish, you dirty Mudblood." He whispered back.
He wrapped his hand around her waist quickly, pulling her close. Before she could protest he kissed her.
A/N: A bit of Fluff, a bit of stuff… a bit of a word that rhymes with stuff.
Long time, no update, huh? It's called High School, you know, that place, that's the second version of hell, where they take great pleasure in your suffering…
I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire twice, and let me tell you, it got better and better. This is totally the best movie ever. Of the HP movies, anyway. What do you guys think? Awesome, Cool, really cool, really awesome, super, supercalafradgilisticexpealadocius, major cool, cooler than cool, coolio, or just okay? Hey, pick them or one of your own. But Snape was pretty funny, only he didn't get much time in the movie. Poor Snape, my favorite character who I still have faith in. And if he's evil, well then I'll just love him more.
I'm one of those really picky fans, you know the kind that starts screaming in the middle of the movie "Hermione's dress is not pink! It's not pink, it's…blue (I think)! How dare they change the color of Hermione's dress? That is so important! Unfaithful to the book! Freaking unfaithful!" Also the kind that starts grumbling in the middle of the movie "How dare they cut out so-and so! How dare they skip a minor scene that is so totally important to me but not to anyone else! How dare they not mention the name of a tiny minor character! What happened to Archie, dammit! What happened to Archie! WTF! Unfaithful to the book! Unfaithful to the book! Freaking unfaithful!" And of course, I'm one of those that is all like, in the middle of the movie "Oh my god, Jeremy, Draco Malfoy is so hot! I want him! Why was he so ugly in the third one, then all of a sudden he became totally hot? Ron is sooo cute, I mean look at him! I love guys with red hair! Red Hair!" Everyone's all "Shut the hell up!" Then my brother Jeremy starts saying "Cassandra, Hermione is HOT!" And I am…disturbed for some reason.
Total props to Deb-Lil, you motivated me! Also, for the record, I would like to remind you all that I hate my Pen name. At the time, I liked Eminem, now I just…don't. My real music pen name:IThinkMyChemicalRomanceIsAwesomeAndSoIsNirvanaNoIAmNotEmo! And…no. That's just wrong.
