Chapter 3

Draco chuckled evilly about his plan, 'This is going to be a blast!'

He had been following Hermione and Alex secretly, and thinking of ways to destruct them. The pair was talking animatedly with each other and Hermione seemed to be enjoying her moment with Alex as they made their way down to the rocky bay.

Nails were covered beneath the sands. Draco made sure it was on Alex's pathway and not Hermione's. What a stupid git that Alex is. Good thing he doesn't wear anything to cover his feet. Gladly Hermione wore a pair of flip flops.

Unaware of Draco's vicious plan, Alex kept walking until his feet got sting with a nail and this sure made his right feet bleed and he groaned loudly with pain.

"Are you alright Alex? Oh my God!" Hermione sounded worried and this made Draco sneered behind the rocks.

"I'm fine 'Mione.. I'd often stepped on these kinds of sharp objects, so this is nothing. Don't worry…"

'Filthy muggle you! Being all friendly to Hermione by calling her by her friendly nickname?' Draco groaned.

"No, you are not okay…You bleed. If you don't mind, I have to tear some of your short's fabrics to wipe away those bloods, or you might get infected." Hermione bend down as she saw Alex nodded. She began tearing the edge of Alex's beach shorts and wiped the flowing bloods away.

"I'm fine Hermione. I tell you I'm used to this." He grinned as he touched Hermione's hands and this made her blushed crimson.

"A-alright then… Can you walk? Lets go back and put some medicine."

"That'll do." He smiled. "Can you at least help me walk?"

"I'm planning to…You cant possibly walk on one feet by your own. Next time make sure you put on a pair of sandals out."

Draco was furious at the sight of Hermione helping Alex walked on one foot and he noticed how she blushed so hard. Damn it! Time for Plan B.

After putting on medicine and wrapping Alex's foot with bandages, both Hermione and Alex went to the beach restaurant for lunch. Before they get to the café, Hermione suggest Alex, he should at least bought a walking stick to help him walking and he agreed.

Alex ordered a steamed lobster at the restaurant, while Hermione ordered shrimps salad.

Draco, a devil he is, he secretly changed Alex's steamed lobster into a living lobster. The waiter didn't notice and put the covered lobster dish in front of Alex, until he opened and the lobster jumped on Alex's head and bit his nose.

Draco was laughing at his success. This was the best prank he had ever pulled of. All the pranks he'd pulled on Potter, turned to nothing against this one he pulled on Alex.

The afternoon went by so fast.

Hermione and Alex both sat on the beach, watching the sunset. Until Alex looked at her in eyes and said, "To tell you the truth Hermione… I really like spending time with you. After all that crazy things that had been happening to me, I really glad I met you."

Hermione's face reddened as she looked down, "Me too…" she smiled, "You are such a nice person Alex."

Alex hold Hermione's hands and she gasped as her blush getting darker, "One more thing Hermione, I really like you a lot. I felt very comfortable around you. You are such a smart beautiful girl, and every man would be happy just to be with you."

He lowered his head down to Hermione's and was about to touch his lips to Hermione's, until…

From the far Draco was throwing small rocks at Alex from the far and this made Hermione pulled Alex away and hid behind a coconut tree. A familiar loud chuckled was heard.

"This is the best one out of all that trick I pulled on them! That lobster came second…" Draco chuckled harder and harder and didn't aware Hermione had been standing behind him as he speak.

"MALFOY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

Draco widened his eyes, "No-nothing.. Just playing with.. err.."

"I heard everything you just said Malfoy! For the love of Merlin! I know you hated me so much and love being mean to me But could you please not drag Alex into this? You said yourself, you want me to stay out of your way and now 'you' are staying in 'my way'! What do you want? Well you know what? From now on, just pretend we don't know each other and please back off!" Hermione dragged Alex away from Draco.

"Who's that?" Alex asked, looking back at Draco.

"Just a bullier from my school, don't mind him."

Draco looked down on his feet, looking disappointed as he took a walk around the coast.

"I'm such an idiot! The greatest fool around the whole wizarding world, that is. Now, once again I let my Hermione walked away from me, just because I pulled those childish tricks on that unpleasant muggle boy. How could I ever say I'm sorry or even manage to tell her how I feel?"

A loud chuckles was heard somewhere in the bushes.

Draco sneakily hid and peeped to where the chuckled came from.

"Oh man! She's an idiot! She fell all over heels for me." a familiar male voice said.

"Are you sure she's a virgin?" another man asked.

Draco's silver orbs flickered in amusement. It was Alex.

"Yup!"

"And why are you so sure?"

"Obviously man, that girl get all shy in her bikini. She kept fidgeting uncomfortably in it. Guess what, I even found out she's a bookworm and the most talented student in her school. She said so herself and that proves!" Alex said proudly, while Draco frowned in anger, "She might be smart at school, but a fool she is to fall for me. I tell her I'm somewhat in love with her and she trusted me." he chuckled.

"Man! She's hot and you are going to score her virginity, I envy you Alex! You always get all the chicks you want!"

Anger overwhelmed Draco, "There's no way I'll let you touch my love!" Draco walked away from his hideout and the first thing on his mind was, Tell Hermione.
