"I wanna raise the stakes." A bag of gallons was passed to the person in front of him.

"You can't do that!"

"Twenty gallons says I can." The black haired boy shook his head as the red head forcefully shoved the bag into the other kid's hands.

"What are you guys doing?" Hermione came up behind the two and leaned over them with suspicious eyes.

"Nothing!" They both shouted at the same time. Hermione just continued to give them that look that they knew so well. She shrugged and began to walk off.

"Well I'm off to the library I have an ancient runes paper I'll see you tonight!" She called lifting her hand in a slight wave before leaving out the portrait hole.

"Okay, so I still raise the stakes…" Ron muttered. The two teens put their heads together and began arguing like the twins usually did.

Hermione was sitting in the very back of the library hiding behind a stack of books and trying to keep calm. Her foot was tapping innately against the table and her fingers were drumming on a large black book. Checking the gold watch that was latched around her wrist she couldn't figure out why he was late. He was never late. Shifting in her seat she waited impatiently. She was Hermione Granger after all. Glancing around the stack of books precisely every five and a half seconds she couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh when she didn't see him.

His figure finally pranced into the room twenty minutes after their original meeting time. Plopping down beside her hoping that no one saw him he gave her a sly smile. "Sorry… stupid pugface…" Hermione nodded stiffly and pointed to the lipstick that was imprinted on his neck. "She attacked me!" His smile dropped from his face and he held up his hands in defeat.

"We have to tell them." Draco looked at her a moment studying her face.

"Tell who?"

"You know who! Ron and Harry!" She hissed at him. They had had this conversation multiple times and yet they still hadn't told them, because Draco was so damn convincing. Lowering her voice she glowered at him. "Please…" As Draco's face paled Hermione pouted her small lips and that had him. She knew when he finally gave in because he reached over and placed a small kiss on her lips. "Good, now come on." She begged tugging him to come with her to the common room.

"Now?" Draco sounded worried but Hermione tried to reassure him. Placing a hand on his back she was glad that no one was out roaming the halls. Coming up to the fat lady she said the password and gestured Draco in. Hermione shook her head when she heard him muttering something about it being the ugliest common room he had ever seen. Pushing past him she pressed towards Ron and Harry scared out of her wits.

"What's he doing up here?" Ron muttered his face turning down into a frown.

"Well-uh-wearedating." Hermione stammered waiting for the harsh words and possibly to get slapped. As she winced she opened one eye to see Ron shout in triumph and throw a fist into the air. Harry looked defeated as he slumped in his seat.

"I told you!" Ron danced around the room with the bag laughing. Draco looked at Hermione in confusion and she reflected the same.

"You stupid bloke! You cheated!" Hermione crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the pair.

"What's going on?"

"Well you see Ron here raised the bet by twenty gallons, because he's a dirty rotten cheater." Ron stuck his tongue out at Harry and continued to prance around.

"Oh, please Harry, it's not like you'll miss it."

"It's the fact of the matter…" Harry muttered sullenly as he sulked in his chair.

"Wait! You had a bet on me and Draco?"

"Essentially…" Ron said as he tried to dance with her. "You just made me forty gallons!"

"Are you kidding me?" Hermione pulled away from him and stared at the two. "How did you know?"

"We aren't stupid 'Mione." Ron muttered as he finally plopped himself down on one of the couches and began counting the coins.

"Plus I have the Marauders Map remember?"

"Yeah our next bet is on how many kids you'll have." Draco who was silent the whole time just let his mouth drop and Hermione's eyes widened and she blushed.

"Well… just well…" Hermione huffed ducking out of the portrait hole dragging Draco with her, leaving the two to their laughing fit.
