AN: I didn't get any reviews :'( but I wrote this chapter anyway because I had a good idea last night so I had to add it into the story! Please review because I find it really hard to write when I feel like no one's reading my story! I hope you guys enjoy and I certainly think this was one of my better ideas :D
"No Harry today's not going to be interesting because you boys are going to behave or I will hex you into next week!" Hermione said voice getting louder and louder
"Gesh Granger calm down people might think you were angry." Draco said with a smirk
"That's because I am or can't you tell? You stupid git." Hermione said angrily taking a step towards Draco who, smartly, took a step back.
"Come on Hermione let's go." Ron said taking her hand and pulling her out the door of the great hall. Harry and Draco followed in silence.
"So Potter since we must promote house unity, I suppose I could be civil to you until we get down to Hogsmead. Then I have other business to attend to."
"And what, may I ask would that be?"
"Why that would of course be to bug Granger and to get Weasley to stop looking at her like he wants to snog her, it's disgusting." Draco said glancing at the two walking side by side, Hermione laughing at something that Ron had just said. Harry just laughed, secretly agreeing.
Harry and Draco managed to talk civilly during the walk down to Hogsmead. The two found something they could talk about, Quiditch. Since both boys didn't support one team over the other for the most part they discussed which team they think will go the farthest this year, which supplied plenty of conversation for the long walk down. The two go into some yelling matches though when they had a disagreement about who was better one team or other. At which point Hermione would turn stop and turn around glaring at the boys, making them hush up quickly. Then 30 seconds later start back in on the issue at which point Hermione would whip around and tell them not so politely that they could shut up. After this happened a few times, Harry and Draco stuck to discussing teams they agreed on trying not to make Hermione anymore mad in the hops she would be happy again by the time they got down to Hogsmead. As they were nearing the town Hermione stopped and turned around again, the boys thinking she was going to yell at them immediately stopped talking.
"Harry, Malfoy, where do you want to go first?" Hermione ask Ron taking a few extra steps before he realized Hermione had stopped.
"Honeydukes." Draco said
"Anywhere I guess is fine with me." Harry said shrugging his shoulders
"Honeydukes it is then." Hermione said starting off in that direction, Draco falling into step next to her and Harry falling into step next to Ron.
"So Granger, if I must get to know you better. What's your favorite sweet?" Draco asked
"Well I think I'd have to say skittles." Hermione answered shoving her cold fingers into her pants pockets.
"What are skittles?" And Granger, you have goose bumps. Did you not think to bring a jacket?" Draco asked
"Well, no I didn't." Hermione replied "And skittles are a muggle sweet. I have a giant bag back in my room and I'll give some to you later."
"Wow the smartest witch in possible ever, can't think to bring a jacket." Draco said mockingly
"Sod off Malfoy we'll be inside soon anyway and I'll warm up."
"You still have to walk back up to the castle though." Draco said mockingly
"Don't remind me." Hermione groaned stepping into the blissfully warm shop that was Honeydukes.
Harry and Ron both ran off to go buy sweets and browse while Hermione and Draco went to go sit down on a bench neither really wanting anything at the time. After a few moments of awkward silence and weird looks from fellow 7th years. Hermione spoke up.
"Malfoy why on Earth did you want to come here if you didn't want to get anything?" Hermione asked
"It was the first place that came to mind." He replied, even though that wasn't the real answer. He knew if he came here both he and Hermione would sit down and not get anything, Hermione because she didn't eat sweets that much and Draco for the same reason.
After sitting a couple more minutes in an awkward silence, each person searching for something to say Hermione spoke up again.
"So Malfoy you asked me so I'll ask you, what is your favorite sweet?" Hermione asked looking at Draco. He found this slightly unnerving.
"Well." Draco said looking away. "I think it's probably white chocolate."
"White chocolate technically isn't a chocolate; it doesn't have any coco in it." Hermione said with a little laugh.
"Well then Granger what on earth would you call it?" Draco asked a smirk forming knowing Hermione didn't have an answer to this one.
"I call it imposter chocolate." Hermione said with a smile watching Draco's smirk fall off his face.
"Cheater, you're not using a real name that other people use you're making up a name."
"That's not cheating!" Hermione exclaimed "You asked what I call it and I told you what I call it. I answered your question you just did not form it right." She crossed her arms and smirked
"Wow Granger that is an extremely Malfoy smirk on your lips there. I must be rubbing off on you." Draco said looking at Hermione's lips which were in truth quirked just like his when he smirked.
"Whatever Malfoy, if you are rubbing off on me, I must be rubbing off on you. So tell you me you have any 'bookwormish' habits lately?" Hermione asked no longer looking at him but the people walking around the shop.
"No Granger I take a special anti-bookworm potion now so I don't happen to have any of your silly nerdy habits rub off on me."
"Hahahaha, very funny Malfoy." Hermione said lightly whacking his arm
"Ow that really hurt Granger I am deeply offended that you would whack me." Draco said holding his arm a mock look of hurt on his face.
Hermione couldn't help it, she laughed, and laughed, and laughed some more. For some reason she found this hilarious. Soon Draco had joined in on the laughter. The crowed that was passing was shocked to see that Hermione, the Gryffindor Princess, and Draco, the Slytherin Prince. We in fact getting along civilly, and most strangely, laughing. Immediately the rumors started to fly, and bets were being placed on the outcome of the Head Girl and Head Boy's future relationship.
Not surprisingly were the two who started the betting pool were infact non-other than Fred and George (AN: We're pretending Fred didn't die because we love him so much :3) who happened to have witnessed the scene while passing through the shop on their way to the new branch off Weazley's Wizarding Wheezes. That had just opened up in Hogsmead to help balence out the off season during the school year. With the new massive betting pool that had started, the two students were garunteed to be the center of attention in the coming weeks.
