Chapter 6: Bonding Experiences

"NO! Draco, I cant watch that! I'll piss myself," Hermione said when Draco displayed the movie they'd be watching. She wasn't the bravest soul when it came to gore and scary movies. Needless to say, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasn't her first choice.

All the prefects (including Blaise) were finding a comfy spot on either a bean bag chair, a couch on the floor. Hermione had finally given up on her choice of a movie and sat on the floor against the couch next to Blaise, who grinned and winked at Draco.

Draco rolled his eyes and sat on the other side of Hermione and pressed 'play' on the DVD. He watched in awe as Blaise made subtle moves on Hermione. How does he do that? He thought. Every time Hermione would jump, Blaise would let her bury her face into his chest and he'd put a protective arm around her. It was very predictable, yet Hermione hadn't caught on to it. By the end of the movie, Hermione was virtually on top of Blaise, much to Draco's disgust, and to Blaise's pleasure.

As soon as the movie ended, Hermione jumped up and shut the movie off, still shaking slightly. She looked down at Draco. "I hate you," she said reflecting on the movie.

Draco stuck his tongue out at Hermione, and she laughed at him. "Are you laughing at a Malfoy?" Draco said in amazement.

"And what if I am?" Hermione said putting her hands on her hips.

Draco stood up and stood very close to Hermione, looking down on her. "You'll be very, very regretful."

Hermione narrowed her eyes at him mockingly, but the "moment" was ruined when Daria and Ginny started to make kissing noises, causing Hermione to blush an impressive shade of red and turn away from Draco.

Blaise cleared his throat and stood up. "I have an exceptional idea, let's play truth or dare!"

There was an exciting murmur of agreement. "Who should start?" Pansy asked.

"Blaise should, it was his idea," Hermione said as all the prefects gathered in a circle. She got some versitrasm for everyone to take, so no one could lie.

Blaise smiled wickedly and nodded in approval. "Ok... Hermione truth or dare?"

Oh crap.... Draco thought. God knows what he can think of.

"Ummmm... truth."

Blaise's face fell slightly, but he recovered. "Hermione, have you ever thought about Draco sexually?"

Hermione's mouth hung open. Oh crap! no, no, no! "N-YE-N-YES!" God damn it!

The entire room roared with laughter, except for Hermione, who immediately regretted giving herself a truth potion.

Draco looked over at her and winked.

Boys... Hermione thought bitterly. Then she thought of a perfect way to get back at Ginny for the kissing noises. "Ginny, truth or dare?"

"Uh, truth?"

"How far have you gone with Harry?" she said in an innocent tone.

Ginny looked pissed off. She knew Hermione was doing this out of spite... Ginny knew Hermione was well aware of "how far" they had gone. She simply sat in silence, glaring fiercely at Hermione.

This had gotten Ron's full attention, and he was staring intently at Ginny and Harry, who had burried his face in his hands to hide his red face. After a moment of silence, Ginny gave up and spoke.

"I lost my virginity to Harry over the summer," she said more to Ron than to the whole group.

Most people weren't surprised, but Ron was clearly shocked, well, more vexed, than anyone else. "Just because I gave permission for you two to date doesn't mean that I want you fucking each other!" Ron shouted, red in the face, but he remained in his bean bag chair.

"I wasn't aware I had to inform you of who I am "fucking", Ron," Ginny hissed.

Ron's face, if possible, became redder. "So have you been fucking other guys!"

Ginny seethed. "RON! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?"

Hermione then remembered that they were still under the influence of the truth potion. Uh-Oh...

"My problem is that you're not my baby sister anymore! I was so used to you being this unbearably shy red-head, then you just... bloomed. Everyone became interested in MY baby sister, and that, to ME, is a problem," Ron finished in a calm voice.

Ginny smiled weakly at Ron. "I'm not a baby anymore Ron. But I'll always be your sister, ok?"

Ron nodded and his face returned to normal color. "Er-Sorry, Harry, Ginny."

"That's alright, mate," Harry said.

Ron nodded, then looked at Ginny again. "You better be using protection..."

Ginny and Harry groaned, while everybody else laughed. "Draco truth or dare?"

"Uh- dare."

Ginny smirked. "I dare you to kiss Ron."

Draco's face became ghost-white. "I- what?"

Ron looked like he was going to throw up. "OH NO! Nope... I don't think so!"

But Draco knew that he had to... wizard's truth or dare... you HAVE to do the dares and answer truths. He walked over to Ron and kissed Ron on the lips very gently, causing Ron to immediately spit when their lips parted.

"That. Was. The. Worst. Dare. Ever!" Ron said wiping his mouth furiously.

"Well, it wasn't a basket of roses for me..." Draco said angrily. "Blaise, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

Draco took a moment to think. "What is your fantasy?"

Blaise grinned and blushed a very little bit. "To fuck Hermione Granger, anytime, anywhere."

Everybody laughed again... even Blaise. Hermione on the other hand was blushing furiously. Blaise looked over at Hermione and cleared his throat to show that he was about to speak. "You do realize just about every guy in this room has the hots for you, right? Well, maybe everyone except for Harry, he's very content shagging mini-Weasley."

Ron's face became a dangerous shade of red again.

"Hannah, truth or dare?"

"Uhhhh... truth?"

"Who do you like?"

Hannah became very red. "Justin," she whispered.

Many of the girls giggled or gasped. It was widely known that Hannah and Justin were best friends, and had been best friends, since they were in diapers.

But no one looked more shocked than Justin. "You- what? You like me?"

Hannah's face became redder than Ron's from embarrassment. "Uhhh..."

Justin smiled at her. "I uh- like you too."

Hannah's jaw dropped. "Huh?"

"Yeah... so, uh- do you want to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow with me?"

Draco was staring in amazement. Am I the only one who can't get a date with someone I really like... normally girls just ask me! He was pulled out of his thoughts when Justin asked him truth or dare... again! Truth... or dare? Hmmmm... "Dare."

"I dare you to kiss Hermione."

Draco looked at Hermione nervously, but she was smiling reassuringly. He then looked at Blaise who looked a little confused and a little angry, but no one noticed except for Draco. Ohmygosh! I'm going to kiss Hermione! Wait.. Why am I nervous... she should be nervous! I mean... I'm one of the sexiest guys in Hogwarts!

With a little more confidence, Draco went to Hermione. Ok, here goes nothing... Then Draco kissed Hermione very gently, and was surprised when he felt Hermione kissing him back.

Holy shit! Draco Malfoy is kissing me! And, I'm kissing him back! Ohmygod! is that his tongue? He's a much better kisser than Ron... Ohmygod! I just moaned!

Hermione was dazed when Draco pulled away from her. She bit her lit and blushed when the other prefects cat-called. Draco smiled at her then sat back down next to Blaise and she sat next to Daria and Ginny.

They went through the group twice, then it finally was Blaise's rightful turn again. "Hermione truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to snog me for one minute."

Hermione grinned. He really, really wants me... but do I want him that much? Hermione pushed the thoughts out of her mind as she teased Blaise a little, barely brushing her lips against his. Then Blaise grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Hermione was a bit taken back from his aggressiveness... but slowly began to respond. After the minute was over Blaise looked very satisfied with himself, and grinned from ear to ear as he sat with Draco.

"She's a great kisser, eh Drake?"

Draco was a little upset, but hid it very well. Soon after that dare, they prefects headed off to bed, and Blaise went back to Slytherin dorms. Hermione changed into a pair of sweat pants and a tank top, and found Draco in his quidditch sweat pants in the common room. He was reading a text book, but Hermione figured that he wasn't reading it at all, considering that it was upside-down.

"Tonight was really fun," Hermione said in an attempt to make small talk.

Draco nodded. "So... you think about me sexually?" he joked.

Hermione turned a deep shade of red. "Oh god..."

"I don't blame you, I am pretty sexy," Draco said smiling.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Blaise is pretty cute," she said in an innocent voice. She secretly hoped Draco would become jealous.

It worked.

"Really? I didn't notice." Draco replied trying to keep his voice calm.

Hermione smiled. "No, I don't suppose you would. He seemed awfully eager to kiss me, though."

Draco clenched his fists thinking about that again. "Yeah... Blaise is quite charming," he said with a little sarcasm.

Hermione paused. "And- uh- you seemed eager too."

Draco looked up from the book. "Really?"

"Yes."

Draco swallowed a lump in his throat. Ok... she pretty much knows that I like her... and she seemed to like the kiss... I think... I should ask her to Hogsmeade tomorrow! "Hey, Hermione?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you-"

But before Draco could finish, an owl tapping on the window caught Hermione's attention. And Draco recognized who's owl it was. Blaise.

Hermione began to read the letter with a grin on her face.

Dear Hermione,

I was just thinking about how much fun we had tonight, and was wondering if I could escort you to Hogsmeade tomorrow. Please respond. Hope to see you tomorrow,

Blaise

"What's that?" Draco said afraid that he already knew.

Hermione smiled at Draco. "Blaise invited me to Hogsmeade tomorrow, hold on a second, I have to reply," she said finding a quill on her desk.

Dear Blaise,

I would love to go to Hogsmeade with you tomorrow. I will be ready around noon. See you then,

Hermione

"So, what were you going to ask me?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm tired, I'm going hit the sack." Draco's heart sank. It was one of the worst feelings in the world, but in an odd way, Blaise had just helped him. Now Draco knew he liked Hermione. But now he wasn't so sure Hermione liked him, she may start to like Blaise, his best mate. Well, it could be worse, Draco told himself. She could be going with Hoyle instead.

And with that comforting thought, Draco drifted into an easy sleep.
