"Well that could have ended disastrously," Blaise noted as he helped Draco up, "You don't say?" Head girl replied sarcastically. "Well it worked didn't it?" Ginny asked - being the first to notice Draco no longer had her boyfriends jeans around his ankles. "You could have done it more gently you know!" Draco replied indignantly. She just frowned before replying "Where's the fun in that?" Harry thought to intervene - before WW3 started - with a reminder of the time. "Before you guys start arguing again, may I remind you that we have to go..." He checked the time on the clock, "...10 minutes ago?" Hermione took hold of the slytherins hand and apparated.

Ginny and Harry appeared beside them moments later, leaving them waiting for Draco. "You could have told me where we were apparating to. There's a lot of stores around here you know." Draco answered, when Ginny complained about the time. "Ginny it's kinda your fault. You were supposed to apparate with him and Harry. We discussed this yesterday..." Ginny grumbled and crossed her arms in a sulk, "Take his side why don't you!" she muttered. "You're just like your brother." Draco smirked sensing an oppurtunity to wind up the younger girl. "And what, may I ask, is so bad about that?" She answered - falling into his trap and crinkling her nose as she did. "Would you like me to write a list?" Ginny lunged at him in an attempt to defend her older brother, but he stepped out the way. Smirking all the while Draco added nonchalantly, "Is that a No?" She lunged again. And missed again. Only this time Harry didn't attempt to pull her back so she fell on the floor. "Can you please separate the kids Herms?" Harry pleaded, "Fine! Blaise, can you please take Ginny for Ice cream?" Ginny stuck her tongue out at Draco as she walked off with the Slytherin. "But I want Ice cre-" Hermione was quickly losing her temper, "Enough! You are coming robe shopping with me. You are not having any Ice Cream!" She said in a raised - but not shouty - voice "Unless you're quick and get your shopping done with time to spare." She added seeing his face fall.

Harry huffed as the elves cut the robes to fit him, "I wouldn't be in this mess if you guys could contain your flirting." Hermione opened her mouth in shock, "We do not flirt! We are just friends. Nothing more." Harry responded by raising an eyebrow dubiously, "Of course you are." he said sarcastically. She crossed her arms - an angry elf uncrossing them moments after. "Yes we are. Besides he doesn't like me like that. And I don't like him like that." Harry shook his head, "Did you ask him?" she laughed before sighing, "As if. How would that go down, 'Hey Draco, Do you like me?' It'd only disappoint me." He raised his eyebrow again, "So you do like him?" She shook her head, "I don't. I really don't. I do like someone though." Harry shook his head smiling. "Are you talking about that blatant crush you have on Blaise?" He laughed at her reaction. "Is it really that obvious?" she asked, making a mental note to hide it better. Harry laughed again. "Tone it down a tad kiddo." Hermione raised an eyebrow this time, "I'm older than you... that makes you the kiddo."

Draco stopped dead in his tracks. He doesn't like me like that. Boy was she wrong. He wasn't In Love with her. But he sure as hell fancied her. And I don't like him like that. He felt his heart sink a little as he walked back round the corner to pay for his robes.
Draco First Person:
Are you talking about your blatant crush on Blaise? Blaise?! As in Blaise freakin' Zabini! What does he have that I don't? Sure he's italian but-
he faltered.
That's it. She fancies him because he's italian. Well I can speak some italian, and I'm going to try it out later.
Normal:
Draco walked around the corner confused about his conflicting emotions. "Are you guys ready to go?" He asked, desperately wanted to leave the store.

Hermione looked at the mess that was Ginny Weasley. "Chocolate suits you" Draco smirked. She looked at Blaise pleadingly, "She fell over with her Ice Cream. It was chocolate. The Ice Cream not the-" He faltered, "It was a Chocolate Ice Cream." "Scourgify" Hermione sighed waving her wand at the girl in front of her. The chocolate slowly dripped off her face and out of her hair to land back in the comb. Which the girl licked. "You are Revolting." Draco said with a look of contempt as he moved away from her. Ginny had had it. That was the final straw. She threw her Ice Cream at the slytherin covering Hermione and Harry in the process.

"I'm so sorry Harry. It was only supposed to get Draco." Head Girl stood in the middle with her arms out, "I'm fine. By the way. You also got me - more on me might I add than you did on the intended victim. But don't worry about it. No apology needed. I'll just clean it up my self. All Icky." She expostulated. Blaise made a move to help her but Draco whipped out his wand moments before the other slytherin had a chance. "Scourgify!" He smirked before waving his wand between himself and Hermione. "Chow Bello" He smiled as he took a step back. He didn't realise why she had her arms crossed with an eyebrow raised, or why Blaise was laughing uncontrollably. "Bro. YOU JU- YOU JUST SA- YOU JUST SAID HELLO BEAUTIFUL!" Draco blushed at his mistake - saying hello. Hermione remained arms crossed - he didn't understand her reaction until she added, "I am not a man." That's when it clicked. Blaise had een hammering on about there being different words for both masculine and feminine. In this case he had used the wrong one. "I didn't mean it. Honest I didn't." Hermione shook her had at the laughing around them - Blaise having explained the screw up to Harry and Ginny. "Can we hurry up and shop please? I really want to get out of this top..." Harry stopped laughing. "You said you loved that top!"

After searching round every shop - from the sales, to the most expensive jewellery shop (for reasons the boys would never understand) Both head students had a new wardrobe full off clothes each. Most of it stylish - but some that Harry had chosen for the pair. They snuck most of his choices back on shelves and racks when he wasn't looking, but was stuck with the stuff he had decided to carry to the checkout. "I think those multi coloured stripey skinny pants will go lovely with your reindeer top, don't you Harry?" Draco asked mockingly, "Yes that's what I thought. That top is the reason I picked these of the shelf. It really doesn't go with what you're wearing Herms" Harry replied - oblivious to the fact Draco was joking about the hideous pants. Their final stops were in a book store and a supply store - Both Harry and Hermione needed to buy more pots of ink. "How've you run out all ready 'Mione?" Blaise asked curiously, "Because I had to lend most of my pots out to Him and Ronald." Sensing that they shouldn't carry on that conversation Blaise answered tactfully. "Okay. Bello."

After thanking and dismissing their friends, Hermione and Draco retired to their rooms to unpack their new clothes. Curiosity got the better of Hermione when she looked over at her desk and she quickly rummaged through her bags, looking for her ink.

Key: When Using Diary
Hermione's thinking
Hermione
Other Person

I think we should get more questions. But only five.
Why? I mean, I think it's a great idea.
Because I'm bored and you're intriguing. And you've used up a question already.
This again. God.
Yes that again :) What side of the war were you on?
That was unexpected. You really jumped right in there.
Yes, and you're avoiding answering the question.
I see you're too smart for my tricks :)
I like to think so :) Answer the question
But you won't like the answer.
You just told me the answer.
Question over then.
I want to hear your side of the answer.
I started out on the bad side. Against my will of course. It was all Father's idea - like with most Sytherin's. But I ended up on the good side. I saved a couple lives. It doesn't make me a hero.
I think it makes you very heroic.
I will never live up to you. You have saved millions of people through your part in the war, and you don't even realise it.
I did nothing really.
My question. What do you like most in a guy?
A bit of a personal question. Because hers wasn't.
Intelligent, Tall-ish, Handsome, Witty and Charming. Also Manners. The perfect gentle-man. They have to be nice to my friends.
Bummer!
How so?
Because I'm a slytherin. And you're friends are. Well annoying!
Looks like you're not my man :)
Who are you going to the Christmas ball with?
Nobody.
Has nobody asked you?
Half the single male gryffindor population year four and up has asked me thank you. Not to mention a couple of Huffle Puffs and a few Raven claws. And even Goyle! I almost puked. Theodore Notte tried to ask me as well but I ran off. I was near naked at the time.
Will you go with me?
But I don't know who you are...
You just have to trust me :)
What makes you so trust-worthy?
I suppose I never thought of it that way. I would never let anything hurt you for a start. I actually have a really long list of reasons why you should go with me, but it's in my trunk...
A long with this weeks homework I assume?
I always do my homework on time. There's this annoying girl who makes me do it.
Maybe you should ask her to the all.
But she's not you :/
I have my last two questions. 1. Give me five good reasons why I should go with you? and 2. Who am I?
I can give you seven... I am Intelligent, Tall-ish, Handsome, Witty, Charming and I have impeccable Manners. - The perfect Gentle-man in fact. And I know for a fact that your friends love my company Hermione.

AN: Sorry that wasn't much of a humorous ending but more romancey - I think. That also isn't much of a cliffhanger is it? I mean, it is for Hermione but not for you guys. Thanks for the Reviews - you guys are great, and what do you want to read more of? Pairings/Genre's Whatever you want - Just tell. If you want. :)
