Little Secrets
Ch 7
"Now I would like to introduce the heads of houses Miss Granger of Gryffindor and Mr. Malfoy of Slytherin." Dumbledore said smiling to the great hall. "Now without further ado let the feast begin" he continued over the heated whispers that had spread over the older students at the mention of the Heads of houses.
"Great I'm starved" Ron said shoveling chicken legs and steak into his mouth at once. "erione –if 'at 'erret 'ies enyfing wiz ou I villze ill im" Ron said with a mouth full of food.
"Honestly Ronald how do you expect anyone to understand you when you talk with your mouth full. Not to mention how disgusting and revolting it looks" Hermione said glaring at the now choking red head.
"What I think Ron was saying Hermione is that we accept that the ferret is head boy and you have with no surprise made head girl, that it will put you and that slytherin in close courters and we will castrate the bastard if he so much as looks at you in the wrong way" Harry said glaring at the slytherin table.
"'" Ron said swallowing the huge portion of food he had managed to cram into his mouth.
"Ronald I refuse to speak to you while you are so blatantly being disgusting. Don't talk to me while you have food in your mouth again" Hermione said angrily to the boy across from her. "Harry while I appreciate the male chauvinism I really can handle myself." Hermione said as she began to eat her steak and mash potato dinner with green beans.
"Oh my god Hermione I can't believe you get to live with Draco Malfoy. You must tell me does he wear boxers or briefs. What kind of shampoo does he use to make his hair look like that?" Ginny gushed.
"Ginny what on earth has gotten into you this is Malfoy we are talking about the annoying ferret that has made our lives a living hell for 7 years. I will not be getting close enough to see what type of underwear he wears" Hermione said flushing at the thought Malfoy in his underwear.
"Talking about my underwear Granger? I didn't know you were interested. They are green silk with snitches on them. I can show them to you tonight if you want" Malfoy said suggestively raising his eyebrow at the flushing Gryffindor.
"Malfoy you are positively disgusting. I don't want to see any part of you ever. As long as you stay in your room and I stay in mine and we avoid each other as much as possible I don't see why we can't live civilize human beings." Hermione spat towards the smirking Slytherin.
"Like I would touch one hair on your head Granger" Malfoy spat back.
"Why are you even here Malfoy? Don't you have something better to do with your time then to bother me? Why don't you go bully some first years so I can claim you are abusing your privilege of Head boy and have you removed of the position and get on with our lives?"Hermione spat angrily at the blond boy.
"Get off your high horse Granger. I just came over to inform you that Dumbledore wants us to meet him in his office after dinner to discuss something with us." Draco said to the girl.
"Oh ok ferret now bugger off before someone actually thinks you want to be here" Hermione said pointedly.
"No need to get your panties in a twist Granger when I would gladly do it for you" Malfoy smirked as the Gryffindor flushed a pleasant shade of blood red.
"Don't think for a second that you could ever have any effect on my panties Malfoy now leave" Hermione hissed in frustration at the blonde slytherin who was retreating with a victorious look on his face.
"You want to bet on that Granger?" Malfoy whispered seductively into her ear.
"Get away from me you Prat" Hermione said shoving the slytherin away.
"Whatever Granger keep living in denial. Don't worry you know where to find me when you finally get the urge to admit it." Malfoy said smirking as he walked back towards the slytherin table.
"I don't know how you could possibly think that ferret face is attractive Ginny. He is a complete asshole." Hermione whispered to her best friend glaring at the platinum blond across the great hall.
"Hermione come on even you have to admit he is one fine specimen even if he is a jerk. He is a very hot jerk" Ginny said giggling.
"Ginny I'm going to pretend that the words Malfoy and hot didn't just come from your mouth. He is not hot at all he is an egotistical jerk who thinks the world revolves around him because he is rich and his family is considered purebloods." Hermione ranted angrily to the red headed beauty in front o f her.
"What did Malfoy want?" Harry asked looking over at Hermione.
"He just came over to tell me that Dumbledore wanted to meet with us after dinner. Heads business you know nothing drastic" Hermione said rolling her eyes at her best guy friend.
"Oh ok so I guess I won't see you until tomorrow." Harry said glumly.
"Harry you wouldn't have seen me until tomorrow anyway. We go to bed directly after the feast and I live in the Heads dormitory now." Hermione reminded the boy.
"Right I forgot you would have a separate Heads department now. It's going to be weird not having you in the Gryffindor common room anymore" Harry said sadly.
"Awww Harry are you just saying that you'll miss me because you won't be able to copy my homework as often anymore?" Hermione said laughing.
"Yes Hermione, because homework is the only thing on my mind right now." Harry said sarcastically. "No Hermione we are not friends because you are the smartest witch of our age, but because you are a truly amazing person who we truly enjoy being around." Harry said blushing.
"Thank you Harry. That is the sweetest thing anyone has said to me. It really means a lot to me." Hermione said hugging Harry.
"Anytime Hermione" Harry smiled as he hugged the witch back enjoying the moment.
The hall became silent as the food disappeared and Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome new and old students of Hogwarts. I hope you all have returned with the same thirst for knowledge that has fueled the school for so long. Now our caretaker Mr. Filtch has asked me to remind students that all fanged Frisbees and certain Weasley Wizard Wheeze products are banned from the school premises. Anyone caught with any forbidden item will receive a detention and of course the item will be confiscated. To see a full list of all the forbidden items it is posted outside Mr. Filtch's office. Now to our graduating 7th years I would like to announce that this year we will be holding a graduation ball. I hope you all have a tremendous year classes will start on Monday and course schedules will be handed out tomorrow at breakfast. Thank you and goodnight" Professor Dumbledore said dismissing the students
"Well I have to go to Professor Dumbledore's office now" Hermione said hugging Harry and the two Weasley's before heading the direction of the stone gargoyle that signified the Headmaster's office.
"Granger wait up" A voice called from behind the oblivious witch. "Hello Granger I'm talking to you. You do know it's rude to ignore someone when they are trying to get your attention" Malfoy said grabbing the girl b y the shoulders.
"AHHHHHHH!" Hermione screamed startled as the blond looked at her amused. "Malfoy what the heck is your problem sneaking up on me like that. Do you want to be cursed?" Hermione yelled pulling her headphones out of her ear.
"I didn't sneak up on you; I called your name twice. What the heck are those things do they make you deaf?" Malfoy asked trying to get a closer look at the device in Hermione's hands.
"Sorry I didn't hear you I was listening to my iPod" Hermione said matter of factly.
"What the bloody hell is an iPod" Draco said as Hermione pulled out a rectangular device.
"This is an iPod. It is a muggle device I have enchanted to work at Hogwarts. It plays music" Hermione said showing the curious slytherin the contraption.
"How does it work?" Malfoy asked looking at the headphones.
"Here I'll show you." Hermione said putting the ear piece in the blonde's ear.
"What the Bloody Hell do you think you are doing Granger?" Malfoy growled ripping the earpiece out.
"Relax Malfoy in order to hear the music you have to put this earpiece known as a headphone in your ear" Hermione said putting the earpiece back in his ear and pressing play.
"AHHHH" Malfoy jumped as the music filled his head. Hermione watched amused as he looked around astounded. Then he smirked at her. "Is there something you're trying to tell me Granger?"
"What on earth are you talking about Malfoy?" Hermione said annoyed.
"The song Granger, here you listen?" Malfoy said handing her an earpiece.
Hermione almost fainted when she recognized the song as the lyrics flowed between them.
Don't
Don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, Just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know.
Hermione stopped the music, "No Malfoy I didn't even know what song was going to play since the iPod is set on shuffle" She said angrily ripping the earpiece out of his ear and putting her iPod away. "Come one let's just get this over with so we can go to bed" Hermione glared at the blonde.
"Fine whatever Granger." Malfoy said turning towards the stone gargoyle that guarded the headmaster's office. "Sugar Quill" Malfoy said as the gargoyle stood aside to let them pass let's get it over with.
