Weird Much?
As Hermione walked her way to the common room, she has a mysterious smile on her face. She was in a pretty good mood at that time. As she enter the common room, the first thing she saw is a certain blonde sitting in the couch in front of the fire.
"Hi," she greeted and plopped down beside him. He greeted back and the following minutes were silent.
"So," Hermione started in an attempt to break the tension, "can we call the prefects now?"
"Yeah, I suppose," he said nodding. He stood up and offered a hand to Hermione which she gladly took. Together they went to the Great Hall and talked to Professor McGonagall.
"Professor," said Hermione, "Can you please announce that the prefects will have a meeting with us in the common room? We're planning on giving them the patrol schedules. We'll wait outside the common room."
"Of course dear," said the professor as she faced the four tables. She got a spoon and tapped the glass. All the students inside the hall stopped talking and turned to McGonagall. "All prefects will meet with the headboy and girl outside the heads common room. They will discuss what to do," she told them loudly. After that, the chattering started again as if nothing happened. "Well, I think that'll do," she told them.
"Thank you Professor," Hermione and Draco said in unison. They grinned at each other and went to the common room to get ready for the meeting.
After they left, Professor McGonagall shook her head and sat down on the staff table. She was wondering how two arch enemies became friends or, if not friends, became civil to each other in the span of a week. Head duties can really be stressful she thought.
On her left side however, Professor Dumbledore smiled and his blue eyes twinkled as he watched Hermione and Draco still smiling at each other go out of the Hall. He was really amazed at the result of his Inter-House Unity project and looked at the Gryffindor and Slytherin table. He just had an idea.
Meanwhile, outside the heads common room, Hermione and Draco stood waiting with at least fourteen people waiting. They were waiting for the Slytherin prefects, who were dramatically late. After a minute, two figures appeared at the end of the corridor. All their attentions turned to the figures. They were the Slytherin prefects. Penelope Mallory, a pale, tall, dark-haired girl with Jamie Irk, a sallow-looking boy who resembled Snape. Hermione wrinkled her nose.
"Er, okay. Now that we're complete let's start." said Draco. He pointed to the door and whispered the password. After entering, they all circled around the fire.
"So, we're going to give you your schedules." said Hermione, giving out pieces of parchment.
"We are?" asked Draco.
"I mean, I'm going to give out your schedules," replied Hermione, giving the last two pieces to the Slytherins.
"So, I think that's fine. All we need to discuss now is the when the next Hogsmeade weekend will be. Oh, and also the first Quidditch match of the season." said Hermione sitting beside Draco while the prefects including Draco looked expectantly at her. "What? Is there something on my face?" she said.
"Nope. Nothing," Draco replied shaking his head and the others followed.
"Okay. That's weird. Anyway, do you have any suggestions, comments regarding your schedules?" asked Hermione and they all shook their heads. "Then let's begin."
After an hour, Hermione and Draco bid goodbye to the prefects. It was really boring since it's mostly Hermione who talked and Draco isn't helping that much. Draco stretched and yawned. "That was so boring. I was about to doze off." He said.
"More liked spaced out." commented Hermione giggling. Draco rolled his eyes and was about to head back to the common room when Hermione said, "No you don't. Come back here. We have to patrol first. You can't just slack there." She said grabbing the back of his robes.
"I am so not slacking. I was just…about to get ready. Yeah. I was just getting ready." He said and Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"Well then, I think I'll get ready too." She said remembering the dare. Stupid dare she thought. They headed to their rooms and got ready. Hermione secured the oh-so-important piece of parchment inside her robes, got her wand, sprayed a little perfume and met Draco outside the common room.
Two flights of stairs and a corridor later, Hermione found herself laughing with Malfoy. "Where did you get those jokes?" she asked between fits of laughter.
They rounded on a corner as Draco said, "It won't be funny if I tell you," he replied grinning towards her. For the first few minutes, they were silent but Draco just can't believe that now he's laughing and joking around Granger. It's Granger Draco, Granger- the mudblood. You're supposed to be torturing her right? He thought. But to be honest, he really liked her company and felt contented when she's around.
"Tell me more jokes Draco," she said and Draco looked at her shocked. She looked back at him and smiled. Hermione was getting nervous by the look on his face so she just smiled and moved a little closer to him.
Draco shrugged and said, "This one's really funny. There was once a woman who had a cat." Draco grinned then he smelled something. He just shrugged it off and continued, "One night, she heard sounds coming from her neighbor's house."
"I expect they'll be ghosts then," Hermione said giggling. Draco shrugged and said, "You won't know if you won't let me finish it," he was clearly enjoying telling her his jokes and Hermione laughed a little louder than what she intended to do.
"You laugh so loud," Draco commented earning a punch in the shoulder by Hermione. "Hey!" he said pouting and rubbing his shoulder, "That hurts." Hermione rolled her eyes and moved a little closer to him.
Now Draco realized what he smelled earlier. It's Hermione's perfume. She smelled like Vanilla and that's his favorite. Draco noticed that she was getting closer and closer to him. She was talking about her Arithmancy teacher telling her to do a five feet essay and Draco was jolted back to reality. Hermione looked at him.
"Hello? Were you even listening?" she said waving her hands in front of his face. "You look like you've gone to wonderland."
"Well then you shouldn't have woken me up," he said earning another punch and pouting yet again. "I was just joking. And yeah, I heard what you were talking about. That was the first time I heard you complain about homework. It's just- I dunno…weird?" he said and Hermione frowned.
"Sorry. I was just stressed out," she said moving closer to him yet again. They were now so close that Draco can't help but to sniff and Hermione noticed it very well indeed. Hermione smiled at him and Draco looked at her quizzically as if she were mental.
"It's almost midnight. I think you and I should get rest too. We need to get up early tomorrow," Draco said looking at his watch when he felt something bump itself with his shoulder. He looked at the 'object' and found out that it was Hermione who leaning on him with eyes closed obviously having dozed off. He smirked as she looked at her face and proceeded on waking her up.
"Granger?" he asked poking her and she moaned. "Er, Hermione?" he asked again but now, Hermione was back to her senses. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Did I just doze off?" she said. Draco looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Maybe we should go to the common room now. I wouldn't want you falling on one of the many stairs in the castle. And I'm pretty tired too." He added with a yawn and he stretched.
They headed back at the common room and went to their rooms. Unknown to Draco, Hermione was smiling about accomplishing something he doesn't and needn't to know. She jumped on her bed and thought of a plan to do the other tasks while happily marking out number one. She was thinking on how to make him go out with her. She imagined a scene with her talking to him saying, "Draco Malfoy, can you be my boyfriend?"
On the other side of the common room, Draco was lying at his bed and staring at the ceiling thinking about a certain brunette that he just can't get out of his head. Weird he thought and on the other side of the common room, Hermione thought the same.
