Revenge

The next morning Hermione woke up and found Draco in the bathroom

"Malfoy? Are you going to be long?" she asked, knocking on the door.

Draco opened the door and said "Look Granger, I need time to do my hair. I know you might not understand, but having good hair is important and it takes time" and shut the door.

With that Hermione couldn't suppress her laugh. She had never heard something so vain from anyone, including the girls she shared a room with before.

Once her laughter subsided, she realised she needed to take a shower and get dressed soon if she wanted to eat breakfast and get to class in time.

Again she began knocking furiously

"What Granger?" Malfoy asked, opening the door again

"I need to take a shower and get ready"

"And?"

"I need the bathroom and you are in it. So you need to get out"

Draco faked a thoughtful look, said "you should have gotten up earlier" and slammed the door.

Hermione was fuming.

All she could think about was how late she was going to be if she didn't take a shower soon. She knew that she wouldn't be able to reason with him and couldn't think of a way to nicely get into the bathroom. Then she got an idea, she ran into her room and got her wand. She mumbled two spells and waited by the door.

She was rewarded with a girlish scream from the bathroom a few seconds later. Malfoy open the door and looked murderous

"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Hair!" he said through gritted teeth

"What? Don't think pink is your colour? Oh well" Hermione said with a Malfoy-like smirk on her face.

The first spell she cast was to turn Malfoy's precious hair pink and the second one kept it that way for 24 hours. She had seen the indications on some of Fred and George's Weasleys' Wizard Wheeze's products during the summer

"Granger, fix it now" Draco demanded

"No" Hermione said simply.

This was her revenge for him keeping her from being early, she could have easily got him out and changed his hair back after he gave her the bathroom, but she liked this plan better. She ran down the stairs and he chased her, exactly what she wanted. She ran to the other side of the room but stopped three quarters of the way, then turned around, ran up the stairs, into the bathroom and locked the door.

Then she simply summoned her clothes through the window and took a shower.

Draco stood outside the bathroom, he was very mad. Finally Hermione opened the door and got out of the bathroom

"Granger, fix my hair"

"I can't"

"What do you mean you can't, I don't fancy walking around school with pink hair. Fix it."

"It's stuck like that for 24 hours" Hermione said with a smirk.

Draco stood there furious. He then walked into his room and gathered his things. He returned to find Hermione down at the bottom of the stairs with a gloating smile on her face

"Granger, trust me, I will get you back for this" he told her with a glaring look. He then mumbled to himself "this day just got more interesting"

Hermione made her way down to breakfast cheerfully, she wasn't scared of Draco.

Even though he was a Death Eater during the War, after their talk on the train, she knew he wouldn't physically hurt her. All he would fight with was practical jokes and lucky for Hermione, she could call on some twins that are the masters of pranking.

She made her way to Ginny and sat down

"Hey Hermione, so you survived a night with Malfoy. How did you sleep?" Ginny asked her question with concern.

Suddenly Hermione realised that for the first time since the War began, Hermione had slept through the night. With the Malfoy incident in the morning, she hadn't realised. She guessed it probably had something to do with the train ride

"Actually Ginny, I slept through the night"

"Really? That's good" Ginny replied, sounding relieved.

Hermione had spent the summer at the Burrow and shared Ginny's room. She woke up every night screaming, crying or something like tha.t

"Merlin's beard, what happened to Malfoy's hair?" Ginny asked.

Hermione turned to the entrance and saw Malfoy come in, pink hair and all. When they made eye contact she smirked and he glared at her

"Did you do that Hermione?" Ginny asked incredulously

"Yes I did, I remembered the indications on one of Fred and George's products and used them on Malfoy"

"Wow. I never thought that would happen. I have to write to Fred, George, Harry and Ron, they would kill me if I didn't tell them"

When Hermione looked over to the Slytherin table, she saw Draco glaring at anyone staring in his direction or trying to sit near him.

On her way to Potions, Hermione had to keep stopping to tell off students for a number of things.

As a result, she arrived just as Slughorn arrived too and there were only three seats free, all next to Draco. She walked up to him and he gestured for her to sit down and, since she had no choice, she did.

This was one of the times where she felt really upset about no longer having Ron or Harry to save her a seat or share a table with.

Slughorn began by telling the class that this lesson will be informing them of what they are going to do this year, and he advised them to take notes. Naturally, Hermione had her parchment and quill out already. To her surprise, Draco also started writing notes as Slughorn wrote them on the board and explained them.

After a while Draco tapped her shoulder and she looked over, he gestured to his parchment. Hermione was mistaken, he wasn't taking notes he was writing Slughorn insults. As Hermione read them, she found a particularly funny one and accidentally laughed out loud. Slughorn came over to their desk.

This was all going as Draco planned and he swiftly vanished the paper. He then transfigured Hermione's paper and waited as Slughorn snatched it up. Reading it, his face went red with fury

"Ms Granger, I am appalled that you would write this"

Hermione was confused, it was only her notes – or so she thought. Looking at the piece of paper she saw smart-alec responses to what Slughorn was saying when they were taking notes

"Professor I-"

"Save it. Detention, tonight 5:30, my office"

Hermione was shocked and furious. She looked over at Draco and knew he had done this. She wouldn't let him get away with this.

She quickly transfigured Draco's paper to what he had written before and quickly cast a charm to make sure he couldn't change it. Then she kicked him and caused him to jump in his seat. Slughorn saw the disturbance and once again made his way over to their table.

This time he was even more angry and said "you can join Ms Granger in detention Mr Malfoy"

Slughorn continued in class and at the end released everyone. As they left, he reminded Hermione and Draco of their detention.

They glared at each other as they left.

Hermione went straight to her next class, advance transfiguration. She had been ecstatic in the summer, when McGonagall had told her that several students had been chosen for the class, and she was one of them.

Unfortunately for her, so was Draco.

Draco sat next to her in Transfiguration but didn't bother her other then glaring at her.

He was really peeved at her.

First, she turned his hair pink, and then she got him detention. He knew that trying to get revenge had backfired and wasn't going to risk it again, especially with McGonagall as the teacher.

Also remember this is NOT a complex, original story with amazing character development and complete realism. It's just another fluffy, cliche Dramione story and that's what I want it to be :)
