Chapter 9: Wait...Draco's Gay?
"You tryin, admit it
But you just can beat the feelin inside
You know it
Cuz I can see it in your eyes
You want me
You smooth as a mother
You're so undercover
By the way that you was watchin' me"
- Ciara "Get Up"
------------------Monday, The 4th Day in July (continued)
How dare he? How DARE he do this! That...that...annoying, arrogant, pompous, insufferable, idiotic, sexy Mal-ferret? Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. Wait...did I just call Malfoy sexy? Oh no! What's wrong with me? She looked at herself long and hard. Malfoy isn't sexy, he's a ferret...a dead ferret!
The Gryffindor was already dressed and was still drying off her hair. He is so going to pay! She brushed her hair. I must admit that it is easier to brush through...wait..what am I saying? Hermione continued to brush her hair. The ferret turned my hair green
Hermione finished brushing her hair and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Hermione Granger's hair was now straight, but bright green! I'm going to kill him! She vowed. The no longer brunette girl heard Malfoy snickering behind the door. Handcuffs or not, I'm going to kill him! She opened the door.
"Oh Merlin! Is that 'Mione?" said Dark figure #3 who was choking with laughter.
Anonymous squinted her eyes to see Hermione...with bright green hair! "I think it is!" She exclaimed. "Oh my Merlin! What happened to her hair?"
Dark figure #3 was still choking with laughter. "'Mione... bright... leaf..." he managed to utter before cracking up with laughter.
"Huh?" Anonymous was clearly confused about what Dark figure #3 had just said. "You're not making any sense..."
As soon as Dark figure #3 finally calmed down from laughing, he said, "Mione's bright green hair makes her head look like a leaf!" He bursted with laughter.
Anonymous rolled her pretty eyes. "She's not going to be pleased when she hears that you know..."
Dark figure #3 continued laughing his head off.
When Draco saw Hermione he was shocked. He expected Hermione to look hilariously funny, but instead, she looked gorgeous! Even though the bright green hair doesn't really suit her, she looked magnificent! Maybe she should start straightening her hair...
Looks like your revenge backfired.
Sod off!
A few seconds later, he started cracking up!
I thought you thought that she was gorgeous and magnificent?
She is! She's gorgeous and hilariously funny!
Your an odd boy...
"MALFOY! WHAT IN MERLIN'S NAME DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR?" screamed Hermione.
Draco replied, "Isn't it obvious? I turned it bright green!" But because he was laughing hard, it came out like "Ifnst lios? ikuned iight een!" or something like that.
After five minutes of Hermione screaming tons of profanity at Draco and Draco's laughter, Hermione stormed off, dragging a laughing Draco with her.
Damn handcuffs thought Hermione. None of this would have never happened if it weren't for these! The green-haired girl was sitting in a chair at the Malfoy library once again...with Malfoy laughing at her. The Gryffindor tried really hard to block the ferret's laughter, but she couldn't take it anymore! She took the book that she was reading and threw it exactly at Malfoy's head.
If Draco Malfoy was paying attention, he could have dodged that six hundred paged book, but since he didn't... Thud! The blonde Slytherin was on the floor, unconscious..once again.
That's better. Hermione smiled at the silence. Maybe I should knock him unconscious more often.
She walked toward the unconscious Malfoy and grabbed her book. She then returned to the chair that she was at and started reading it.
A few moments later, Hermione grew tired of her book, and that rarely happens. Must be the 'Draco Malfoy' germs thought Hermione grumpily. She got up from the comfy chair, walked past the unconscious Draco, and walked toward a shelf of books.
Hmmm...what should I read? She read through the titles of the books in front of her. Dark Magic for Beginners... The Many Ways To Cuss Out Your Enemy... How To Be A Dark Wizard for Dummies... 101 Plots for Revenge... 64 Reasons Why It's Okay To Be Gay... How To Be Flirty And Get It Dirty... The Amazing 1000 Evil Charms To Learn Book...
Wait a minute... Hermione's eyes widened at the title '64 Reasons Why It's Okay To Be Gay'. Oh my Merlin! Is Malfoy gay? Hermione turned from the book to the unconscious Malfoy and then back to the book. Something clicked in Hermione's head. Hmm...This could be really great blackmail! She grinned mischievously. She continued to read the other titles of the other books.
How To Be A Perfect Dark Wizard... Things To Do When Serving The Dark Lord... Look Mom! I'm A Dark Wizard!... Jinkies! There's Faeries!... 10 Easy Ways To Get Rid Of Annoying Flying Pixies.
Hermione smiled at the memory when Draco was hanging on the chandelier caused by pixies. Her smile was replaced by a frown. Did I just call Malfoy, Draco? ...Nah I couldn't have. She shook her head as she continued reading the different titles of the books. The girl was so engrossed in what she was doing that she didn't notice that Malfoy was no longer unconscious.
Errghh. She knocked me unconscious...again! Draco thought bitterly. He looked around the room in search of Hermione. He spotted her easily, seeing as how her green hair stands out. The blonde let out a tiny chuckle. The green haired girl didn't seem to hear it, and if she did, she didn't show it.
Hmmm...I wonder what she's up to. Draco stood up and walked toward Hermione. He loomed over Hermione's right shoulder. Draco was so close to her that he could kiss her...should he? He thought about it. If he kisses her, chances are that she'll slap him again and get all mad. But she gets so hot when she's mad... Hmmm... By now, Hermione should have noticed him, but she didn't seem to show any signs of it.
Should I? Or shouldn't I? That is the question. Ehh...I'll just kiss her.
Draco was about to kiss Hermione, but something unexpected happened! Hermione turned around and kissed him! The Slytherin's eyes widened and then closed. He deepened the kiss even though he was wondering what made Hermione act like that.
Draco opened his eyes and saw that he's on the floor. He looked toward a bookshelf and saw Hermione looking at different books. Must have been a dream he thought. But it felt so real. Draco stood up and made his way to where Hermione was. Hermione must have noticed because she turned around and asked him, "Are you gay?"
The blonde blinked and was taken back from this unexpected question. "W-what?"
"Are. You. Gay.?"
Draco blinked again. Where the hell did that come from?
Hermione must have assumed that his silence was a 'Yes' because she said, "It's okay if you are. I have nothing against gay people really. It's just... weird that's all. I always knew that you and Blaise had a thing going-"
"I'm not gay, Granger."
"It's okay if you are-"
"Seriously, I'm NOT gay!"
Hermione didn't seem to believe him, for she continued, "If you don't want to admit that you're gay, it's quite alright, you know. But there's no reason to keep it a secr-"
"For the last time, I'm NOT gay!"
Hermione ignored him and continued, "-et. Being gay is normal. And if you're scared about telling your friends that you're gay, then I'm sorry to say that you don't trust your friends a-"
"GRANGER! I'M NOT GAY!"
Ignoring him once again, she continued, "-lot. And if some of your friends can't deal with it. Then they aren't your true friends. And don't worry. I won't tell if you don't want me to. But I think you should. Being gay is normal-"
"FOR MERLIN'S SAKE GRANGER, I'M NOT GAY!"
Hermione gave him the book titled '64 Reasons Why It's Okay To Be Gay' and continued her talk once again, "-as being a wizard. So there's no need to fret. Oh, and actually I change my mind. I might tell people you are unless you be nice to be and do things for me. Okay, I'm done." She then smiled at him while Draco looked at her in disbelief.
"I'm not gay, Granger."
"Of course you're not," said Hermione sarcastically. "That's why you have a book called 64 Reasons Why It's Okay To Be Gay."
"That's not my book."
"Of course it's not," she said again, sarcastically. She rolled her eyes. "I found it over there." She pointed to the shelf.
Draco looked at her shocked and in disbelief. Then he looked over at the shelf..then the book. Hermione fought the urge to laugh. His expression was priceless! Somehow, she managed to say without laughing, "I believe you owe me an apology."
Draco looked up from the book and stared at her. He shook his head and said, "It's not my book."
Hermione was confused. This is the Malfoy Manor's library...so... oh. The Gryffindor couldn't help but blurt out, "Lucius is gay!"
"Granger...he married my mom, and they had me. Why would he be gay?"
Hermione was very confused now. She asked, "Wait...Narcissa's gay?"
"No."
Hermione was very very very confused. "Then who's gay?"
Draco walked over to the shelf with Hermione trailing behind him. He put the book in its place. He turned around and saw Hermione's very confused face. He sighed, shook his head, and muttered, "Forget it." Then he walked away from Hermione.
Hermione wasn't giving up that easily. "Who's gay?"
"Just...forget it."
"No! Tell me who's gay!"
Draco stared at her and shook his head. "Forget it."
It was around nine o' clock when Hermione asked again for the umpteenth, "Who's gay?"
Malfoy glanced up from his book that he was reading. "Why do you wanna know anyways?"
"Because I do!"
Malfoy sighed. "Your hair is green you know.."
Hermione looked at the strands of her hair. "I forgot about that. Wait..." Hermione paused before yelling, "WHY DID YOU TURN MY HAIR GREEN!"
Malfoy shrugged.
"TURN IT BACK!"
Again, Malfoy shrugged. He then replied, "Can't. You have to wait until it grows out...or dye it brown."
Hermione looked at him like she had seen a dead person or something. "So your saying that..." She gasped. "I'll have green hair during our last year at Hogwarts!"
Malfoy started laughing as Hermione gaped at him. That caused the Slytherin to laugh even harder. "Shut up will you?" snapped Hermione after she got over her shock. "I'm trying to think here!"
Malfoy continued laughing. "If you don't stop laughing I'll..." Hermione thought for a moment. "I'll tell everyone at Hogwarts that your gay!" That should shut Malfoy up.
"For the last time Granger, I'm NOT gay!"
"Whatever Draco. You know it's true. You are gay. Or else why wouldn't you tell me who was gay? Unless..." She paused. "...unless, it was you!"
"You just called me Draco.."
"No I didn't. And see? You didn't deny that your gay!"
"I'm not gay Granger. And you did call me Draco!"
"For the last time I didn't call you Draco!"
"You just did!"
"Why is calling you 'Draco' a big deal anyways? You call me Hermione sometimes."
Malfoy smirked. "You called me Draco. Therefore, you like me."
"No, I don't, ferret..." She paused and thought about it. "And that doesn't even make sense!"
"You DO like me...just admit it."
"I don't like you. And where did you get this idea from?"
"It doesn't matter because you LIKE me."
Hermione sighed. "No, I don't. Now shut up."
"Admit it Granger. You can't resist the sexy Malfoy smirk."
"Your impossible.."
"You know you love me!"
"No, I don't. And your gay, remember?"
"I'm NOT gay!"
"Oh yeah? Prove it!" Hermione regretted the second she said those words. Malfoy grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. The girl felt an incredible sensation. It was like she was flying or something...without a broom! She felt as if she can reach the stars! Actually, she felt as if she can do anything! Draco broke the kiss as Hermione opened her eyes.
"Is that proof enough for you?" asked Malfoy with a smirk.
Hermione was speechless. Merlin...he is a great kisser! Wait..what am I thinking? Oh my gosh! Did I just kiss Draco? Er..I mean Malfoy? Oh god..oh no...something must be wrong with me! Damn he looks hot right now...No! Bad thoughts! Very Bad Thoughts!
The Gryffindor frowned. Draco Malfoy is a git. He is a bloody ferret! He's an obnoxious, annoying person! He's a Slytherin. And his father was a death eater for Merlin's sake! And ...he's ugly! Hermione tried to convince herself that, but it wasn't working. Malfoy was just staring at her in amusement.
It had been a few moments before Hermione felt Dra-Malfoy's eyes staring at her. She glared at him and snapped, "Don't you have better things to do than to look at me?"
"Nope."
There was an awkward silence.
"I'm going to bed. Coming Granger?"
It was night. Hermione and Draco were in the guest room, sleeping on separate beds. The young Malfoy was having trouble sleeping. After a lot of tossing and turning he gave up. He sighed and looked over to where Hermione was sleeping. Well..at least one of us is getting a good night's sleep. Hermione was lying there, fast asleep on the bed. She looked very peaceful...like an angel! with green hair!
You should tell her you like her piped up his conscience.
No.
What are you? Scared?
..no...
Sure you're not. That's why you can't tell her how you feel!
I'm not scared!
Prove it!
Draco was silent.
It's okay little Draco. It's okay to be scared. You're only human after all.
I'm not little. And I'm not scared!
Little or not. You should tell her how you feel
Why? So she could say how much she hates me?
You know that's not going to happen.
Your right. She's not going to believe me. Call me a lying ferret. And THEN tell me how much she hates me.
His conscience was silent for a moment. Then it said Make peace with her. Make her like you.
Draco snorted inwardly. What do you think I've been doing?
Getting revenge... oooh! Burn!
Sod off!
You say that alot.
Draco was silent once again. After a moment, he fell asleep.
