Hermione
You smile as you talk to him. It is hard to believe that you two are having a civil conversation.
'I would love to see Daphne's reaction to this,' you wonder, and your eyes begin to scan the room for your best friend.
Poor girl, she was in love with Harry and well, Harry was dating Ginny. She had spent the last couple of weeks brooding and sulking, until you figured out what was wrong and talked to her.
Much to your surprise, that was the moment when people started to wolf-whistle.
You looked at Draco who was staring straight ahead and looked amused?
You followed his line of vision and found, something amusing, alright.
Daphne was kissing Zacharias Smith or maybe the other way round.
You watched in horror as Smith asked Daphne out and she said yes.
You search for Harry to gauge his reaction. He tried to look nonchalant. But his posture was stiff and eyes promised pain.
"Oh no," You muttered, gaining Draco's attention.
"What?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I messed up," You mumble in reply.
"Granger, can you speak in audible range?" He asks, looking irritated.
"Oh, bloody hell!" You exclaim and Draco looks amused.
"Spending too much time with Weasley," He proclaimed, "Did you just swear, Granger?"
"Yes, I did," You nod back, "And I am an idiot!"
"Granger?" Now Draco looks confused and a bit scared, "Are you alright? Should I call Daph-"He turns to find Smith and Daphne snogging, "Oh, leave it."
At the precise moment, Harry brushes past the two of you, with Ginny trailing behind him.
"What's wrong with him?" Draco wonders out loud.
"Isn't it obvious?" You ask, "He likes Daphne."
Draco cursed colourfully and then asked, "Is that why you were cursing? Wait, you told her to come with Smith to the party, didn't you?"
You put your head in your hands and rub your eyes, "What should I have done?" You ask him, "She was brooding and sulking,"
"Granger," Draco shook his head in exasperation, "Please, don't do that ever again. Your match-making skills are terrible."
You glare at him.
"Okay," Draco laughs and raises his hands in defence.
Your heart flutters, and stomach clenches in a pleasant way as he laughs.
"I think we should help them get together, then?" He asks.
"How will we do that?" You ask, "My plan was to make her feel better and I thought getting out will help her."
"I will give you some advice, Granger," He said, "Don't take it badly. But I think you should leave the two of them alone. They will figure it out themselves."
"You think?" You asked, sarcastically, "He is dating Ginny and she is dating Smith!"
"Well," Draco smiled, "Give them time."
"I hope they sort everything out," You say, and then smile at Draco, "You're surprisingly not that bad, Malfoy."
He smiles charmingly and says, "My pleasure, Granger,"
You wanted to kiss him just then and there but a loud screeching, "DRACO!" of Pansy Parkinson stopped you and brought you back to reality.
You just thanked him and turned and left.
