Hello! How was the last chapter? I know some of you can guess what will happen now. Please read, enjoy and review! [Harry Potter can only belong to JKR!]
Malfoy's face was very pale. Theo, Pansy and Blaise were looking very worried. Harry, Ron and Ginny were expressionless. Hermione, for some reason, was feeling worried for him.
"What happened?" Blaise asked Malfoy. Malfoy just stared right in front of him and didn't answer.
"What happened Theo? You were in here before us. What were you doing here?" Pansy demanded.
"I didn't do anything!" Theo said. "I was not able to sleep and I wanted to play a game. So I thought, after all, Draco is my best pal and I came here to wake him up. But before I could do that, he started mumbling in his sleep. He said... He.." Theo hesitated.
"What did he say?" Blaise asked.
"Well, he said Granger's name and then he told her to come to him and then he started moaning IN PLEASURE." Theo finished in a rush.
Hermione and Ginny stared at each other in astonishment. "He.. what?" Hermione stuttered.
"How dare you?" Ron lunged towards Malfoy. Hermione stopped him. "Let me go Mione! I'll –"
"It's just a dream Ron, stop it!" Hermione said.
Malfoy, meanwhile, was just staring away. He suddenly seemed to come to come to his senses.
"I just kissed Granger!" he shouted.
"IN YOUR DREAMS MALFOY." Harry said.
"Exactly! I kissed her in my dream!"
"How exactly was your dream?" Ginny asked interestedly.
"At first, I was hiding in a broom cupboard. I don't know for the life of me why. Then Granger was walking down the corridor WITHOUT any books in her hand. And there were no students in the corridors. And when Granger got near the broom cupboard I pulled her aside and KISSED her! And the kiss was amazing even in my dream!" he finished.
By now, everyone was staring at Malfoy completely shocked. Hermione and Ginny were double shocked. "Why you insolent little.." Ron started towards Malfoy.
"Ron stop!" Hermione stopped him once more.
"Why are you defending him all of a sudden?" Ron yelled.
Hermione stared at Ron with a stunned expression. How could he accuse her like that?
"Shut up Ron." She said and turned to Malfoy. "We need to talk." She said and began to walk out of the room. "It was just a dream Granger!" Malfoy called from behind.
"I know." Hermione said. "That's why we need to talk. Please come with me."
Malfoy followed Granger out.
Suddenly, Theo noticed the bottle in Ginny's hands. Then hell broke loose.
"How the FUCK did my deodorant get into your hands?" he yelled.
"Is this yours?" Ginny asked in astonishment.
"It is mine unless you use the deodorant for gents!"
"And you said I took it." Blaise said to Theo.
"Sorry mate." Theo said and turned to Ginny. "Why did you take my deodorant?"
"I don't know how it got into my room." Ginny said. "I woke up this morning and saw it on my dressing table. I have no idea how it got there!" she reasoned.
"This I exactly how I felt when you accused me of taking your lipstick." Theo said.
"Sorry." Ginny said. "You didn't take my lipstick and I didn't take your deodorant. Someone is playing a game with us."
"And I am going to catch that fool and make him apologize." Theo said. "I hope Daphne doesn't hear any of this. None of you will open your mouth about this." He warned.
"Yeah." Ginny said. "All of you keep your mouth shut. Shall we go down to breakfast?"
"Yeah sure" everyone said and went towards the door when they heard Malfoy tell Hermione that he didn't have all day. Each and every one of them decided to eavesdrop on this interesting conversation.
Hermione and Malfoy stood facing each other. She had brought him out to talk to him but she was not sure how to start. They stood like that for some time.
"Look Granger." Malfoy said. "If you have to talk, then make it snappy. I haven't got all day."
Hermione gained some courage and asked him, "Why did you have to say that the kiss was 'amazing' in front of everyone?" she asked.
"I said so because it was amazing. I don't lie Granger."
"But how could just say it in front of everyone? Don't you have any shame?"
"Why should I feel ashamed of that? I just spoke the truth. Anyways, why are you making such a big issue out of this?"
"Oh God! I forgot the main part didn't I? Well Malfoy, I too, got the same dream this morning."
"You too?"
"Yeah. It was exactly the same as your dream."
"What about the kiss?" a smirking Malfoy asked.
The secret listeners were now laughing.
"It was… why are you asking about that now?" a blushing Hermione asked.
"Because I felt it was wonderful, even as a dream."
"It was…" Hermione hesitated, blushing even redder.
"Admit it. I am a good kisser. Even in a dream."
"Ok. It was great. But - "
"See? I am so great."
"Fine. But the point is why did we both have the same dream?"
"Who cares? I only care about the achievement I made this morning."
"I do care."
"Then you can take care of it and leave me alone."
"I cannot as this concerns you."
"Of course Granger. A kiss requires two people."
"Oh shut up! I'm going down to have a shower." Hermione said and started to walk away. But then she suddenly turned back and asked. "And one more thing, why were you so..um.. affectionate the previous night?"
"I don't know." Malfoy said. "I don't know why."
"Oh.. Ok sure." Hermione said. She too, was feeling differently about Malfoy. She had been worried for him this morning although she didn't know why. As she was about to go, another question came to her. "What's the wonderful achievement that you made this morning?"
"I made the Great Bookworm, Hermione Granger BLUSH."
"You're unbearable." She replied and walked away.
"I am unbearable. That's one of my specialties." He called after her.
"Get lost." Was the response.
"Can I join you?"
"No thanks."
Blaise, Theo, Harry, Ron, Pansy and Ginny couldn't hold in their laughter anymore and burst out laughing.
"You morons!" Malfoy said. "You were eavesdropping."
"Yeah." Theo said between bouts of laughter.
"It's a Slytherin and a Gryffindor trait." Harry said.
"It was a pretty interesting conversation." Blaise said.
Draco gave them a wicked smile and went towards the bathroom and banged on the door. The others followed him. "Granger!"
"Now what?" Hermione asked exasperatedly.
"Our innocent little friends were listening to our whole conversation."
"The whole of it?"
"Yeah even the blushing part. What do I do?"
"Hex all of them, two times each."
"With pleasure."
Everyone other than Hermione and Draco had tiny boils on their skin as they went down to breakfast.
So how was it? Please review! Thankyou all my reviewers!
