A Harry Potter Fan Fiction Story

Authors Note: Just a little note to say that in my story Both Weasley Twins are alive , and Snape never died in the war. That's all enjoy!

Chapter 8:

I stared at Draco as he looked into my eyes. Making Ron jealous , or rather making any one jealous was a new concept to me.

" So how does this work? I walk in there in my running clothes all sweaty and a mess… the only thing both he and Lavender are going to be is disgusted." Draco shook his head and pointed for my to walk toward the cottage. I wouldn't budge so he grabbed my sweaty hand and drug my to the door.

" Wait .. No I take it back ,I just want to ignore him for two weeks…Draco…"

He stopped before opening it, and I looked to him. I needed a miracle. He obviously wasn't listening to reason.

" Stop whining , and pretend that you don't care what he thinks." Ok I thought easier said than done. " can you do that?" I nodded. He opened the door still holding my hand and we both walked into the kitchen. Suddenly Ginny, Ron, Lavender and Blaise all had their eyes on us. Ginny was preparing her Hotcakes, while Blaise was greeting the new guests that arrived. " Hermione…" Ron turned toward me, and just stared. I tried to pretend he didn't have any effect on me like Draco had said ,but I just stood there unable to move. Draco squeezed my hand, and it snapped me out of it.

" Ronald…" Ginny stopped what she was doing and stared at the two of us. It looked like she was going to try to break the awkwardness.

" How are you?" Ron murmured just loud enough for me to hear. I could tell he was just as nervous as I was. I tried to clear my mind. It seemed like at that time it was only him and I again. I must have had an aneurysm or something because the next thing I said just came out with out thinking.

" Draco and I are together!" The minute it came out all eyes including Draco's eye's were giving me confused stares. I took the silence the opportunity to run straight to my room. I closed the door and covered my mouth. Why did I just say that? I mentally yelled at myself. The next thing I knew my door was opening and Draco was inside. He looked at me with a sheepish grin and closed the door.

" What was that?" I tried to control my breathing.

" I don't know!" I threw my hands in the air. " I panicked. I saw him standing there with Lavender looking all perfect ,and I don't know?" I sat down on my bed. " Why couldn't he just have ignored me. I told you I'm no good at making people jealous. I just blurt things out like word vomit!" Draco sat down next to me on the bed and tilted my chin toward him.

" Actually it is perfect because saying that you are with me is going to make him see that someone else wants you, and he's going to start to regret letting you go. Think about, I am ruggedly Handsome, and a real lady killer. You word vomit may just do what your setting out to do" I tried to think about it and Ron is big headed but Draco was right he did have a bit of a reputation. This might work.

" So.. Now we have to actually… pretend to be a…" I struggled with the word. Just the thought of coupling with Draco made me a little un easy.

" Yes Granger we have to pretend to be a couple" I closed my eyes and laid back on my bed and tried to wish everything away.

" Oh God!" I looked over at him. He stood up and walked towards the door.

" Don't worry Granger, I'll go easy on you" He winked before he left the room. Great I thought now I would have to explain to Ginny later for her to fully understand.

Draco had said that I had to make Ron jealous so I decided to start dressing the part too. I looked through my wardrobe and everything I owned screamed safe and boring. That's when I had the idea to magically induce an outfit on myself.

I came out into the Living room wearing a black off the shoulder shirt, and a black mini skirt with a pair of black ballerina flats. I had straightened my hair with a spell and put in a black head band. Ron was the first to notice me and he just stared with his mouth wide open. This caused Ginny to look over at what her brother was looking at, but the minute she had done so, she nudged Blaise to look, and he smirked and glanced over at Draco who had not noticed me yet. I was now walking slowly until I stood next to the chair that which Draco sat.

" So what's first on the agenda today Gin?" I asked as if nothing was different at all. Draco looked up at me and he looked to be at a loss for words. Could I really look that different.

" There you are!" Draco grabbed my hand and pulled me on his lap. I felt my cheeks instantly blush as hi put his arm around my waist. Ginny didn't say a word just gave the two of us a look. I knew this look it was a look that meant she was going to figure out what was going on.

" Were all going to the market to pick up supplies for the wedding." She finally answered not taking her eyes off of me.

" Were not all going to fit in your Prius are we?"

" Oh" She laughed " Were not driving. We are going by port key. This market isn't in the muggle world. We stayed there making small talk about the wedding for another half an hour before everyone had gotten up ,except for Draco and I.

I turned around to face Draco, and punched him in the shoulder.

" What was that for?"

" Why did you do that? I pulled his arm off of my waist, and stood up.

" Do what? You're the one who decided to come out dressed like that" He gestured toward me.

" What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Nothing if your trying to attract every guy in the room!"

" What?" I put my hand to my head " That made no sense"

" Lets just go" We walked out side with everyone one else. Ron, Lavender, Ginny, Blaise, And all of the Weasleys all stood in front of an old willow tree. As soon as we touched the tree we were all transported into Hogsmeade. As soon as we landed I saw Ron's eyes on my before Lavender grabbed his hand and guided him away. Its working? I smiled inwardly to myself.
