I hate this chapter. I say that about most of my chapters but i really mean it this time. For some reason i can't make this story work the way i want it to. I think it has something to do with the fact that i've been so stressed out about going back to school tomorrow.
Anyway, I've started writing two new stories (I know, i shouldn't - i've still got so many unfinished stories) since this one is almost finished (i'm thinking maybe 15 chapters total for this story) and i want to know if you think i should upload them.
The first is another Dramione. I suppose it's a sort of mystery in which Hermione becomes a Death Eater.
The second has no pairings as of yet but it's about Albus (S. Potter). It'll be the first in a series of stories in which Voldemort returns. But this time he's not after Harry.
Lunch came all too soon for Hermione and she made her way to the great hall as slowly as possible. Ginny met her outside, along with Draco and they discussed how it was going to happen. Honestly, Hermione didn't see how this was getting revenge on Ron. In fact, she thought Ginny just liked seeing her with Malfoy. Ginny ordered Draco to go in first and then she pushed Hermione in. Hermione, following the script, ran after Draco and grabbed his arm, pulling him around to face her. He smirked as she pulled him towards her and she scowled at him. The scowl quickly disappeared though, when he suddenly kissed her. She froze, this was not part of the plan. She kissed back for a moment until she realised what she was doing and pulled away. She looked at him for a moment before she brought her hand up and slapped him.
He gasped, holding a hand to his cheek.
"What was that for!" he cried.
"You know exactly what that was for!" She spat, turning and stalking over to the Gryffindor table.
He gaped after her, rubbing his cheek. Ginny groaned and hurried after her friend.
"Why did you do that?" She hissed.
"He kissed me!" Hermione cried. Ron glared at her, "Oh grow up, Ronald!"
"So?"
"So what? Ginny, he kissed me! What did you expect me to do?"
"Kiss back?" Hermione glared at her, "Oh come on, Malfoy maybe a jerk but he's hot! I would have kissed back!" Hermione growled and Ginny smirked, "You like him."
"No I don't!" Hermione hissed.
Ginny simply shrugged and started eating.
Hermione continued glaring at her. She hated it when Ginny was right.
…
The day seemed to drag on forever after that. Hermione found herself unable to focus in class, which was unlike her, and she ended up faking an illness - very unlike her - to get out. She hurried back to her dorm and slammed the door shut, glad to be alone. She threw herself down onto her bed and pulled a pillow over her head, trying to block any thoughts of Malfoy from her mind.
'You like him.' Ginny's voice echoed in her mind.
'He's always been fond of you' Pansy added.
'You like him!'
'Draco's always had a thing for you'
Hermione groaned, throwing the pillow off of her head and sitting up.
"Something wrong, Hermione?" Ginny asked, smiling slightly.
Hermione glared at her, "This is your fault, why did you have to suggest me and Malfoy fake date?"
"It was Pansy's idea."
"Pansy!" Hermione hissed.
"She told me how Draco's always liked you."
Hermione snorted, "Untrue. Until last year I was nothing but a mudblood to him! That's all I'll ever be! So what does it matter if I like him. He doesn't like me!"
Ginny's smiled quickly turned into a smirk, "You do realise he's downstairs right now with an extendable ear…"
