Hermione Granger's knees were aching. She was crouched behind a pillar, with Ginny in front of her. The two were watching Luna and Ron to see if their plan was working.

"What?" Luna had asked when Ginny called her over earlier.

"I, uh, heard Ron has the hots for you." Hermione smacked Ginny's arm.

"Since when?" Luna said incredulously.

"He's shy Luna. Why don't you ask him to the ball this Saturday?" Ginny cocked her head to the right.

"I guess it couldn't hurt, he is very cute."

"I can't hear them, can you?" Ginny hissed in frustration.

"No! I'm behind you, remember? I don't see how this will help."

"So Ron will be distracted and you can real-date Draco." Ginny explained for what felt like the hundredth time.

Hermione felt so confused about so many things. She knew she liked Draco, Ron thought so too. That was what this had started to be about, but it was different now. She didn't know if Draco actually liked her. Why was he doing this anyway? What would his friends say? Did his friends even know it was just to mess with Ron?

Hermione's thoughts were interrupted when she spotted a familiar face.

"Um, Ginny, are you and Dean broken up?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because he's snogging somebody over there."

That caught Ginny's attention.

"What!" Ginny's head whipped around, and, sure enough, there he was.

"Ew!" Ginny cried. Actually it wasn't a cry, it was a…laugh?

"Ginny why are you laughing!" Hermione's jaw dropped.

"He's sticking his tongue down LAVENDER'S throat!" Ginny said between fits of laughter.

Hermione had to double check to make sure it was Lavender, and it was. Hermione suddenly burst into laughter as well. They both stood up and continued to cackle against the walls.

"What's so funny?" Draco's cool voice said. Hermione turned around and saw her 'fake boyfriend'. Hermione, still unable to speak, pointed to the snogging couple.

"Oh that's just foul." Draco said with a disgusted look on his face.

"Yet hilarious." Hermione agreed.

"They don't even know how to kiss." Draco said.

"Yeah? Well how should you kiss?" Ginny pinched Hermione's elbow, Hermione tugged at her hair.

"Well, for starters," He tucked a strand of wild curly hair behind Hermione's ear. She felt her breath hitch. "I would-"

"I have to go talk to Ron now, bye!" Hermione blurted and hustled away. There was no way she could kiss Draco in front of Ginny. Ginny had been way to on board with this situation and insisting that Hermione fancied Draco. She wasn't ready to admit that to anyone, not until she figured everything out.

She approached Ron, and at perfect timing too because Luna was just walking away.

"Hey, Ron. Can we talk?"

Sorry its short!
