Pretty Please?

Hermione awoke with a start. Someone was banging on her door. She wearily got up, made the slow process of going to her door and finally, after a few more banging, the door gave up and in came Harry and Ginny. "Great! Now I won't open the door anymore… because there is no door anyway," Hermione said rolling her eyes.

"Er…What's up?" Harry asked scratching the back of his head. It's a little obvious that Ginny made him go with her in ruining Hermione's sleep. Ginny shook her head and said, "He's not really into going here. After several minutes, I managed to make him go."

"You woke me up!" Hermione started ignoring what Ginny said. She looked at her clock and she fumed. How will she ever go back to sleep? It's already four in the morning! "Holy crap! It's four in the morning! Why the hell did you wake me up? You must have a good enough reason," Hermione said more to Harry than Ginny.

"Whoa! Cool down Herms," Said Ginny raising her hands. "We just want to know what happened last night," she said and Harry frowned at her. "I mean, I want to know what happened last night," said Ginny.

"Nothing happened last night," Hermione said yawning. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to go back to sleep. As if I'll be able to." She said muttering the last statement under her breath.

"Aw, c'mon 'Mione. I'm just a curious friend," said Harry and Ginny raised an eyebrow to him. "I mean, she's just a curious best friend," he added pointing to Ginny and Ginny sighed. "What?" asked Harry and Ginny and Hermione both shook their heads.

"Pretty please?" ask Ginny pouting. Hermione shook her head once more. "Tell me how many pretties I need to say to make you tell us- I mean, me," she said and Harry said 'hey!' "Pretty, pretty," said Ginny and Hermione rolled her eyes. "Pretty, pretty, pretty," Ginny pouted. Hermione was about to give up. "Pretty, pretty, pretty," Ginny glared at her. Hermione's already having a hard time from restraining herself. Curse the cuteness and fluffiness! "Pretty, pretty, pre-"

"Okay! I'll tell you. Now will you stop saying pretties?" Hermione said. "Nothing much really happened. We just patrolled. I managed to do dare number one and two though," after Hermione said this, Ginny squealed and Harry, as always, looked confused.

"What?" he asked. "You memorized it all? There must be around ten dares," he told Ginny and both her and Hermione rolled their eyes. Hermione shook her head, "He is a boy," she told Ginny and Ginny nodded. Harry looked as confused as ever.

"Er… Harry? Would you excuse us for a moment? We need some… er… girl talk here," said Hermione and Harry went out happily.

"Okay… So what really happened?" asked Ginny and Hermione sighed. Hermione went back when she and Draco- Malfoy were patrolling last night. She remembered how they laughed together at his corny jokes and when she had fallen asleep on her feet. She remembered the oh-so-boring meeting and how cute he looked after it. She also remembered the past six years of suffering she encountered in his presence and her mood darkened.

"It's okay I guess. I carried the dare successfully. I think he smelled my perfume because I heard him sniff. I think that it is pretty fun," said Hermione and Ginny smirked.

"You don't look as if you had fun and I'm not asking about the dare. I want to know what you feel about being with him," said Ginny and Hermione looked at her as if she's going crazy. "Hello? Reality check? We're talking about Draco Malfoy. The boy who made my past six years in Hogwarts like hell? All I feel for him is hate. Although this past day he was kind to me, he couldn't catch up for what he had done in six years with just that. It'll take more than that," Hermione said loudly.

"You might want to lower your voice. Mr. Draco sodding Malfoy is just on the other side of this common room. You might not want to wake him up or worse, let him hear what you said," Ginny said pointing to her left. "Not with your door open."

"I have no door! You'll fix it," Hermione said getting up and stretching. "I'll just get ready. You should too," Hermione said with a groan.

"Okay. Good luck with the other dares," Ginny said waving her hands in goodbye. Ginny fixed the door, went about and was about to close it when Hermione remembered something. "Wait Gin! How did you get here? I never told you the password," she asked and Ginny smirked, "Always remember Herms! I have connections!" Ginny closed the door, her laughs echoing downstairs and Hermione shook her head and thought that with her laugh so loud, she'll be the one to wake him up.

After a few minutes of preparing, Hermione trudged down stairs to go to the bathroom and saw Draco emerging from the said room, dripping wet and only covered by a towel. Hermione's face reddened. Her eyes wandered to his bare chest. He has well-toned muscles and pale skin which made him look hot. Hermione looked at his face and he smirked, which only made him look hotter. "Like what you see?" he asked and Hermione looked at him annoyingly although she was guilty on the inside. "Like that would ever happen," she said crossing her arms.

"We're a bit stubborn today eh? I bet it's that Weasel girl. She was the one that banged on you door I guess. She woke me up. You might want to get ready faster. We're running late today," he said turning to go to his room.

"Wait a moment! I was just wondering, did you tell the password to our common room to anyone?" asked Hermione. She wanted to know how Ginny entered without her telling her or Harry and Ron. She really wanted to know the 'connections' badly.

"Well, I told Blaise and Theo. Yeah, they're my best friends so I told them. And please don't tell Weasel or Potty the password." He said

"I don't need to. I bet that Ginny already told them so they probably know it anyway. My problem is how Ginny found out the password. And I suppose you didn't hear our conversation," Hermione said.

"Never mind that. And about that conversation, I didn't hear anything as I don't know that there is one. So, in short, I didn't hear your oh-so-private conversation," He said before turning to his room and closing the door. Hermione raised her brow. She heard his lock click and proceeded in getting ready for breakfast.

After bathing, Hermione went back to her room, put on her robes, picked up her things and preceded to the Great Hall. She situated herself between Ron and Harry. "Hey 'Mione guess what?" Ron said glumly.

"Er… What?" asked Hermione. On her left, Harry snorted. "What?" she asked again. "He's going to break up with Lavender," Harry said amused. "It's nothing to be happy about! Lavender might go ballistic about this. He might just break her heart and as her friend, it's my duty to make sure that she's not going to be hurt." Hermione said.

"C'mon Hermione. I was just joking. Speaking of which, here she comes," said Harry and Hermione turned her attention to where Harry was looking and as what Harry said; Lavender was walking towards them smiling at Ron.

"Good Morning Won-Won! Hey Harry and Hermione. What's up?" she said sitting beside Ron and helping herself with breakfast. "Nothing. I'm just tired of head duties and Harry and Ron aren't helping," said Hermione. Half of it was right. Ron and Harry are not helping but she never admitted that she's tired of head duties.

"I know! I'll make this weekend a Hogsmeade weekend. So that we'll have much more fun together. How about that?" ask Hermione. Lavender clapped her hands, "That's a good idea. We can go shopping too. Thanks Hermione."

"Your welcome," Hermione said smiling and looked at Ron. She gave him the don't-break-up-with-her look and Ron slouched and muttered something they didn't hear. "You guys wait here. I'll just tell Draco about the idea. He must agree too."

Lavender looked at her , shocked. "Since when do you call him by his first name?" ask Lavender. Although they know about the dare, Harry and Ron also looked confused.

Earlier on Draco's point of view…

He got up with a start. Someone was banging the door on the other room. Oh yeah he thought. That's Granger's room. He looked at his watch. Shit! It's just four in the morning! Is she nuts?

He groggily sat up after realizing that he won't be able to go back to sleep. He stood up and stretched. He yawned, got his towel and went down to the bathroom. On the other side of the common room, he could hear the Ginny saying the 'pretties'. He shook his head thinking about what girls do to persuade you to do something. They can be scary like Pansy.

He turned on the tap, checked the water and stretched one more. He slowly undressed and got on the tub. He relaxed there for a few minutes when Hermione's voice broke the silence like thunder. He could clearly hear what she was saying.

"Hello? Reality check? We're talking about Draco Malfoy. The boy who made my past six years in Hogwarts like hell? All I feel for him is hate. Although this past day he was kind to me, he couldn't catch up for what he had done in six years with just that. It'll take more than that."

Those words hit him hard. He wouldn't deny that he did make her life in Hogwarts hell but she still appreciated the things he'd done for her. Little things that is. He got out of the tub, was still drying himself when he heard Ginny laughing out loud. He snorted. That girl could wake half the school with that laugh. He wondered how Potter managed to live while having that girl as his girlfriend.

He got out of the bathroom and saw Hermione. He thought he saw a little pink on her face and decided to tease her a bit. "Like what you see?" he laughed on the inside when he saw her blush. She looked cute that way. Wait a minute. I never said that. No one will ever know that thing. I never said that.

"Like that would ever happen," she said and Draco mentally laughed louder. He decided to tease her more. "We're a bit stubborn today eh? I bet it's that Weasel girl. She was the one that banged on you door I guess. She woke me up. You might want to get ready faster. We're running late today," he said turning to go to his room.

"Wait a moment! I was just wondering, did you tell the password to our common room to anyone?" she asked. Draco frowned.

"Well, I told Blaise and Theo. Yeah, they're my best friends so I told them. And please don't tell Weasel or Potty the password." He said mentally slapping himself at the back of his head for adding the last sentence. He sounded like a little girl there. It's disgusting and well, so girly.

"I don't need to. I bet that Ginny already told them so they probably know it anyway. My problem is how Ginny found out the password. And I suppose you didn't hear our conversation," she asked and Draco shifted uneasily to his side.

"Never mind that. And about that conversation, I didn't hear anything as I don't know that there is one. So, in short, I didn't hear your oh-so-private conversation," he said and once again, mentally slapping the back of his head for being so obvious. Is she stupid or what? Of course I heard it! I was just on the other room. He really hated lying to her. Wait a minute. Since when? I must be going nuts. He headed back to his room and locked the door.

End of Draco's point of view

As Hermione made her way to the Slytherin table, she couldn't help but to be nervous. Most of the Slytherins, who were not really used to a Gryffindor going to their side of the hall looked at her curiously. Even some of the teachers looked at her as if she had gone mad. She also needed to jump over the feet of the many Slytherins who wanted to trip her. As she neared Draco, most of the students stopped looking at her, except of course Harry, Ron, Ginny, Lavender and Luna and Neville who were expecting her to do a dare.

Draco who hadn't noticed Hermione, was still eating his breakfast when she poked him. Draco turned around and when he saw that it's Hermione, smirked.

"Hey. So, what brought you to the Slytherin's side of the hall?" he asked with Pansy glaring at Hermione on his side.

"I was just about to ask about the next Hogsmeade weekend. Er… can we do it this weekend? I was planning on going out with some friends." She said leaning down in front of him.

"Er… yeah, sure. I'll post it on the bulletin boards of each common room but I think I'll leave Gryffindor to you." He said returning on eating his bacon.

Hermione poked him again. "Can we meet at the common room after dinner? I want to tell you something," she said and Draco looked annoyed.

"You can tell me now," he said and Pansy nodded.

"It's a little private so, I think it's better if I tell you later," she said about to say goodbye when Pansy butted in.

"Whatever you want to say to my Drakie-poo, you can say in front of me. He might need my support. After all, you are a mudblood. Don't want you touching him. You might have some mudblood germs in you," she said glaring at her and looking admiringly at Draco.

"Shut up Pansy. Goodbye then," he said before returning to his breakfast. Hermione nodded and went back to the Gryffindor table.

"What was that all about?" ask Ron, who stopped stuffing food in his mouth. Hermione laughed. Ron was all shocked and for the first time, stopped eating.

"If it stopped you from eating then I should do it more often," she said and Ron stuck out a tongue. "Ronald Weasley, you are so childish." She said and Lavender squealed, "That is what I like about him. He also looks cute while eating." Hermione raised a brow when Lavender turned to talk to Parvati.

"Don't break up with her alright? It'll just break her heart and as I've said, I don't like to see my friends get hurt okay?" she whispered to him. And Ron nodded out of fear than approval. On Hermione's side, Harry snorted. "Harry, you should stop snorting too," she told him and Ginny said, "But it is cute!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and dug her fork on her bacon. She felt left behind. All of her friends already have their own relationships and loved ones. She felt all alone. She knew that her friends cared about her but she wanted someone to spend time with. Someone that'll love her like Harry loves Ginny. She looked at the couples beside her and sighed. She wanted to be loved in a special way.

Tee hee! Another chapter finished! Please don't forget to review! It helps me get ideas. The next chapter is already on the making.

I really love this chapter! It's the longest one I've done! It's more than 2500 words! I think that it also shows more on the Draco/Hermione relationship not the dare. So people, please read and review because they are always loved.
