Oh for the love of Merlin what did you get yourself into, Hermione? How exactly are you going to explain this to Harry, and Ginny, you can't exactly go up to them and say, 'Hey guys Draco Malfoy, our enemy since first year asked me out and I said yes'. I frown. You don't have to tell Harry anything just tell Ginny she'll understand for sure, just leave out the part about faking it. I smile, that was prefect, I walk back towards the Gryffindor common room, wait what time is it. I look around for a clock, great now I'll have to make an excuse for why you aren't in the library still, great. Stupid Ron. "Fortes Leonis" I say at the Fat Lady's portrait. I walk in to see Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lavender talking, great they already replaced me with her. Ginny notices me, and waves, then pats the seat next to her, signaling me to come and sit next to her. I walk over there, but I don't sit down. "Ginny, can I talk to you for a minute, alone." I say. She gets up and follows me to my dorm, as a prefect I get my own room.
I can't believe Hermione agreed to pretend go out with me. I smiled for the first time in months, since my father had forced me to be a Death-Eater. That memory still sent shivers down my spine.
/Flashback/
"Draco, come here, I need to talk to you," I heard Father call me.
I went down to the sitting room, where my family was seated, in their presence was you-know-who.
"Bow, before your Lord, Draco" my father had said. I bowed, slowly. He laughed at my shaky bow.
"Lucius, it is time," he told my father, I knew exactly what they were talking about. I was about to get my Dark Mark.
"No," I yelled, immediately I felt my cheeks getting warm, "I don't want to get the Dark Mark yet, I want to finish my schooling first, before I do anything important" I quickly fibbed. He, my father, and my mother looked at me.
"Lucius, I think Draco is right about this-"
"Crucio" he said pointing his wand at my mother, "Draco, will you join me and my army of Death Eaters, or will you see your mother tortured beyond repair."
Tears started forming in my eyes, I couldn't see that thing, torture my mother, the only person who actually cared for me. I stuck my arm out, and he laughed again. He carved the Dark Mark into my arm.
/End of Flashback/
Now I had a task, given to me by the devil himself. Great Draco, you should've thought about the task, now even if she does, fall for you, her heart will be broken. I walk into the Slytherin common, room. I see Blaise, talking to Pansy. I walk over to them. "Blaise, I have to tell you something" I say, pulling him to my room. Being a prefect I got my own dorm.
"Something the matter, Mione, it isn't even close to curfew," she jokes at me, looking at my nervous face she adds, "No really Mione what's wrong?" she asks sitting down on my bed across from me.
"Um…, well don't be mad or anything, but when I was down at the library, I uh, um, kinda ran into Malfoy, and he um… askedmetobehisgirlfriendandi saidyes" I say.
"What did you say, Mione I missed the last part," she tells me.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes" I say, a bit slower, but still pretty quickly.
"Really, Mione, the pure-blood Draco Malfoy, asked you know-it-all-Gryffindor-muggle-born -best-friend- to-the-boy-who-lived-and blood-traitor-Weasely's- to be his girlfriend, and you said, yes" Ginny said, shocked, "Mione, how could you just, give him your heart to break" she said.
"His eyes," I answered honestly, "When he asked, his eyes, they just seemed, nervous and afraid. They seemed to relax when I said yes." I said.
"Okay, if you say so, Hermione, but if he hurts you then, I'll hex him into the next century" she warns. "And I'm guessing that you don't want Harry and Ron to know." She says as I open my mouth to say something, I nod instead. "Don't worry Mione, I'll make sure they don't find out she says, leading me back into the common room.
"What happened to Draco Malfoy and who are you," Blaise asks jokingly. I scowl, "I'm just kidding Drake, why are you so happy?" he asks me.
"Hermione said yes!" I say.
"What Granger said yes, when did you ask her? She did know you were serious, right and she wasn't under any curse or anything." He asked smiling, making sure I knew he was joking. I hit him on the back of his head with a random book that was lying on my desk. "Ow " he responds, rubbing his head, where I hit him.
"Hermione, actually didn't say yes-"
"Ha, I knew it was too good to be true," he says. I hit him again, "Merlin Draco, your turning in to Pansy" he laughed.
"Will you just shut-up and listen; I found her crying in an empty classroom. When I walked in she didn't insult me, or worse curse me, she just turned around alone. Then I asked her what was wrong, she didn't reply, so I got up and left. Then as I was leaving, she told me to wait, she told me not to tell anyone about her crying in an empty classroom. I told her I wouldn't tell a soul, but she had to tell me why she was crying in the first place. She told me that it was because, Weasel was kissing this Brown girl. It obviously made me feel bad, but she read my face, and asked me why I looked like I was in pain. I made up some stupid lie, but then this genius idea popped into my mind, and I told her that to make Weasel jealous she should pretend to go out with me. Then she hugged me and left to her common room." I say. Blaise starts laughing; I throw a pillow at him then tell him to shove off before climbing into my bed and going to sleep
