A/N: There has been way too much seriousness, so here is the chapter that has nothing to do with anything: Hug a Slytherin day! Yay! I've wanted to write this for a while :D I'd like to hug a Slytherin, especially Snape, Draco, or Blaise. I'm not sure why I want to hug Blaise, but I do. I think he'd make a fun face. Teehee.
Hermione's P.O.V:
Ginny decided we needed a "hug a Slytherin day", so she told all the Ravenclaw's, Gryffindor's, and Hufflepuffs about it. We were all ready and the Slytherins had not been notified, so it would creep them out to be hugged all day.
I personally wasn't going to join in, but Ginny would not stop asking until I agreed. She followed and pestered and questioned and then in the end cried. I had no choice. I didn't really want to go around hugging them all day, but then again I needed something funny to happen to me, so fingers crossed.
It'd been a week since the Friday Quidditch match and Ron kissing me. I'd been ignoring him since he said he loved me but wasn't going to break up with Lavender. Harry also seemed to be a somewhat mad at me for something. The only reason would be that he liked Ron and I wasn't even sure if I was wrong. Malfoy had also been avoiding me too, more than he had before. How did I manage to get people mad at me so often?
Ginny, Neville, Luna, and I were waiting in the hallway for some Slytherins to walk by so we could hug them. It'd taken a bit of persuasion to get Neville to join in, but all we had to do was get a little teary eyed and he agreed. Luna thought it would be enjoyable so she came with us three.
The first Slytherin to walk by was Crabbe. The second he rounded the corner, we all practically ran and hugged him.
"Wha-What's going on?" He yelled and tried to jerk out of our group hug.
"Awh, c'mon, Crabbe, don't be mean," Ginny giggled and we all let him go. He looked at us, horrified then took off running.
Crabbe's P.O.V:
WHY IN THE NAME OF MERLIN'S BEARD DID THOSE GRYFFINDOR'S JUST HUG ME? I THINK I'VE BEEN CONTAMINATED! HAVE I? DID THEY POISON ME?
Hermione's P.O.V:
About five minutes later Blaise walked silently around the corner. He never was one to talk much. Neville sat this one out and the rest of us ran over and hugged him tightly. When I looked at his face, it was priceless. He was so horribly confused, "What…The…Fuck…"
I guess he decided to play along, because he put his arms around us, "So ladies, may I ask about the sudden public display of affection?"
"We just felt a sudden need to hug you," Luna said in her dreamy voice.
"Yes, you're quite sexy," Ginny said with a wink. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just smiled at him and batted my eyelashes.
"Thank you for the compliments, but I must be on my way," We all retracted our arms and took a step back, "Ginny, Hermione, and Luna, right?" We nodded in response, "Well, I hope we can have more hugs like this in the future." He looked right a Ginny when said it, which made her smile, then he walked off. Blaise must've had natural charm, because he used it so well. I think I've found the only Slytherin I can stand.
Blaise's P.O.V:
Okay then.
Hermione's P.O.V:
We sat against the wall and waited for more Slytherins to come by. I was hoping there were more people actually participating, but I wasn't sure until I heard a shriek. All of us jumped up and ran to the location the shriek was given off.
Pansy was being hugged by two Hufflepuffs, two Ravenclaws, and a Gryffindor.
"WHY AM I BEING TOUCHED BY THIS FILTH? WHY ARE YOU THINGS HUGGING ME? GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF!" Instead of leaving like we should have to be kind, we joined in and her shrieking got louder.
"I KNOW I'M A WHORE BUT EVEN I HAVE MY LIMITS!" She continued to shriek everything that came to her mind for the next three minutes.
Harry walked by while we were still hugging Pansy, so I grabbed his arm and made him join in, "What's going on?"
"We're hugging Pansy."
"Obviously."
She fainted and the random Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Gryffindors left us to deal with her. After staring at her for a moment Ginny and I grabbed her feet then drug her off to a closet.
After Pansy was taken care of the next person to walk/billow by was Snape and since he was technically a Slytherin, we hugged him, Harry the closest.
Snape closed his eyes and sighed wistfully, "It' just like when your mother hugged me."
Our eyes all bugged and we slowly stepped back until we were as far as we could get.
Snape opened his eyes and cleared his throat, "Just… Carry on…" He billowed quickly away down the hallway with a noticeable bulge in his pants.
Snape's P.O.V:
Oh my, that was embarrassing!
Hermione's P.O.V:
Did Snape like Harry's mom? That's quite uncomfortable, especially if you add in that bulge to the mix. Shudder inducing. I can never look at Snape the same way again.
Waiting for the next person to walk by we made idle chit-chat before Ginny decided we play Truth. It being a muggle game I was surprised she knew it. You asked questions and had to answer truthfully. If you didn't answer and the next person did, you lost.
"So, Harry," Ginny started, "Have you ever had a crush on Snape?"
He spluttered, "What? Are you mad?"
Smug, she crossed her arms, "Answer the question Harry."
His face turned bright red, "Well... Sort of…" We stared and he quickly jumped to the next person, "Neville! Have you ever kissed someone?"
"No," He mumbled and looked down.
I felt bad for him, so I leaned over and gave him a quick peck on the lips, "There. Now you have."
Neville looked surprised and embarrassed at the same time, "Uhm, thanks? Luna? When was the last time you puked?"
Luna looked thoughtful, "Hmm, I believe it was a few months ago after I'd eaten some bad fruitcake."
I blinked at her, "Fruitcake?"
"Yes, it keeps the wrackspurts away."
"Good to know…"
"What house is the person you love in?"
My eyes widened. Love? Who did I love? Harry? Like a brother. Ron? Not very sure. Dean? No. Seamus? No. Neville? No, no, not him. I went through a list of guys before a voice in the back of my head started repeating Draco, over and over. Just as I was about to lie and say a muggle, a Slytherin rounded the corner.
"Slytherin!"They looked at me like I was now a hippo, "No! I mean, there's a Slytherin!"
There were mixed, "Oh thank Merlin!"'s and "You almost gave me a heart attack!"'s.
I looked to see if I knew the Slytherin and I did. It was Draco Malfoy looking horribly distraught. As the rest of them ran over to and hugged him, I stayed back, knowing it wouldn't end well.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" He struggled and got out of their grasp before whipping out his wand, "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He looked like he a bomb, waiting to go off at any second.
I pushed through them and stood in front of Draco, "WHAT DO YOU WANT, MUDBLOOD?"
Taking a deep breath, I started in my attempt to calm him down, "Just put your wand down, Draco."
"I'M NOT TAKING ORDERS FROM FILTH LIKE YOU!"
"Draco –" I was already getting annoying because I knew he wouldn't listen.
"NO!"
"DRACO MALFOY, YOU PUT THAT WAND DOWN THIS INSTINT OR I SWEAR I WILL CURSE YOU SO BAD THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SIT, STAND, OR LAY DOWN FOR MONTHS!"
He opened his mouth to protest but saw the look in my eyes and thought better of it. Glaring, he put his wand back in his pocket and stalked off.
I rolled my eyes, "Broomhead."
Everyone else seemed a bit suspicious of how I got Malfoy to leave but they didn't say anything and neither did I. I was never going to admit it, but I did care about Malfoy.
A few more Slytherins walked by, one being a first year who cried. The other was Astoria Greengrass who ran off screaming.
All in all, it was an eventful day.
A/N: Okay, I know it's not my best work or the longest. Just bear with me, it wasn't easy to write. First day of school today, woot! I know, I'm weird because I like school. But if you knew how interesting it was, you'd understand. ;) Thanks for the reviews VampireFan900. :P Appreciate it. :)
OH-MY-FREAKING-GOSH! SQUEEEEEEEE! I KNEW IT! DRACO DID ALWAYS HAVE FEELING FOR HERMIONE IN THE SERIES!
