Chapter 3

A/N: disclaimer: I own nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"As we are promoting house unity this year, you will be paired with a partner from another house for the whole year," professor Snape explained to his potions class, "I have already picked your partners."

Hermione quickly put up her hand.

"No need to worry Miss Granger, I have matched you all with people who are at the same skill level as you."

Hermione put her hand down, blushing from embarrassment.

"The partners are." Snape announced.

"Mr Finnegan and Miss Brown."

"Mr Malfoy and Miss Weasley."

"Mr Weasley and Miss Parkinson."

"Mr Zabini and Miss Granger."

After everyone's names were called out, they all went to brew their first potion as a pair.

"Granger, this is going to be a fun year. After all you get to work with me." Blaise said while smirking.

"Yeah Blaise I think this is going to be fun. I hope your good at potions."

"Of course I'm good, other wise I wouldn't be paired with you, would I now?"

"That's very true." Hermione laughed.

Malfoy looked over at Blaise and Hermione. Hermione was laughing and Blaise was smirking.

They better not get along too well. He thought.

Malfoy is actually looking forward to spend some time with Weaselette. She is nothing like her brother and she is actually fun to be around.

She even flirts a bit!

xoxoxox

Hermione came back to the common room exhausted from today's classes. She flopped down on the couch, long ways, so it was like a bed. She was still lying like that when Malfoy came in.

"What the hell is wrong with you Granger?" Malfoy asked, wondering why she was lying on the couch like that. With one of her arms draped over her forehead it looked like she was sick or something.

"Huh?"

"I said, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Nothing Malfoy, I'm just lying on the couch." Hermione snapped back. She was in no mood for this.

"You look like your sick or something."

"I'm not. But if I was why would you care anyway?"

"Trust me Granger, I really don't care."

Hermione grunted in response and put her arm back over her forehead.

"Sit up Granger. We need to talk." He said, while talking a seat in one of the love seats.

"Malfoy, are you going to break up with me? Please don't, I'll make it up to you!" Hermione said sarcastically.

"Granger it's over. And there's nothing you can do about it."

Hermione stood up.

"You can't break up with me! We're going to be together forever!"

"Too bad. We're done."

They both erupted in a fit of laughter.

"You know Granger, you are actually really funny!"

Hermione sat down and blushed.

"Holy shit! I did not just say that!" Malfoy said, not believing he actually said that.

"Malfoy you know it's true, don't deny it."

"Okay then. Granger, you are really funny. And it's a good look on you. You should joke around more often."

"Um thanks... I think."

"What I actually wanted to talk to you about before was we need to put down some ground rules." Malfoy said.

"Okay."

"Firstly, when I'm in the bathroom, you can't be. We will have to work out some sort of system."

"Fine. But I am a girl so I take twice as long as you Malfoy."

"Fine. And you can't leave all your girly shit lying around in the bathroom got it?"

"I can't promise anything."

"And when I have a girl in here you have to be respectful and not interrupt. Got it?"

Hermione laughed.

"Yeah, like you will have girls up here."

"I will. I am the sex god after all!" Malfoy stated smugly.

"Okay whatever. Well since you have your rules, I want some of my own."

"Fine Granger, but I won't be your personal sex slave."

"Eww Malfoy, like I would ever want you to do that to me!"

"Granger I'm hurt! I am a god in bed."

"Sure you are Malfoy." She said, while rolling her eyes.

"Hey I saw that!"

Hermione smirked in response.

"My rule is you have to take your shoes off when inside."

"Granger like I said before, I will not take off my shoes!"

"So what, your going to leave them on all the time, even when you sleep? God, I knew you were weird but this?"

"Ha ha Granger. Most of the time I will have my shoes off anyway, it's just when I come in and am going back out again later."

"Well that's not good enough. They need to be off all the time."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Look Malfoy I'm not having this argument again. Just take them off okay?" Hermione snapped.

She stood up to glare at Malfoy.

"Granger, are you on the rag?" Malfoy asked seriously.

"Fuck off Malfoy. You NEVER ask a girl that! Fuck you!"

"Holy shit! The Griffindoor princess actually swore!"

"Go to hell Malfoy."

"I'll see you there!"

Hermione walked over to him and slapped him on the cheek.

"Ahh! What the fuck was that for?" Malfoy yelled, while holding his stinging cheek.

"That's for asking me if I'm on the rag," she slapped him again, "that's for being a dick and having stupid rules," she slapped him again, "and that's for not taking your shoes off!"

Malfoy grabbed both her wrists and held them up so she couldn't slap him again.

Damn. Her slaps hurt!

"Malfoy let me go!" She shouted.

"I hate you, Granger."

"As I loathe you, Malfoy."

He let go of his forceful grip on her arms. She knew she would have bruises there in the morning. She stomped to her room and slammed the door shut while Malfoy went and got some ice for his stinging cheek.

xoxoxox

Hermione was furious. She couldn't believe him! Why would he do that do her! What a dick!

She hasn't slapped him in a long time. And it felt so good to finally do it again.

But Malfoy didn't agree.

He was sitting on the couch clutching a bag of ice to his cheek. Damn that girl slapped hard!

Although he was in pain, and extremely angry for what she did, he couldn't help but be pleased.

He was proud of her for standing up to him and fighting her own battles. He was proud that she slapped him. As yelling at each other is not nearly as satisfying.

After every argument, Malfoy feels like he needs more. He needs to do something about his anger when they finish their argument.

He can't slap or punch her, as its against his morals. He would never ever hit a woman.

So he couldn't punch her but he needed to do something with his anger. He wanted to hurt her, but not in a violent way. He just wanted to do something to get back at her while they are having their arguments.

But what though? Malfoy had no idea what to do, but he needed to so something fast, otherwise he might do something he will regret.

xoxoxox

"And I slapped him." Hermione explained. She was telling Ginny all out their fight.

"No! You did not just slap the Draco Malfoy! Oh my gods!" Ginny exclaimed, in utter shock.

"Yes I really did! It felt so great!"

"You whipped his ass!"

The girls burst out laughing.

"Gin, I did not whip his ass."

"Close enough." Ginny smirked.

"I slapped him. There is a big difference."

"Fine then. You slapped Draco Malfoy's ass!"

"I didn't slap his ass!"

"Okay okay. But I bet you wished you did."

"What, no way!"

"I'll take that as a yes!"

"No, I don't wish I did!"

"Please, who doesn't want to slap his sexy piece if ass?"

"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed before busting out in a fit of laughter.

Ginny started laughing not long after.

"You'll never believe this but during our argument, Malfoy asked if I was on the rag! What a dickhead!" Hermione said, fuming with anger.

"I can't believe he said that! I agree, what a dick! If he said that to me I would have punched him!"

"I did. That was one of the reasons I slapped him. I just forgot to mention it earlier."

"I can't believe him! Oh we'll, he's hot so I guess I have to forgive him." Ginny said while smirking.

"But he didn't say it to you so why were you mad?" Hermione asked.

"That was an insult to all girls. He's saying girls are only moody when on the rag. But it's not true, were always moody, if we have our periods or not!"

"Ginny, that is so true!"

"But seriously, are you actually on the rag?"

"Yes."

"Wow. Malfoy is a really good guesser." Ginny laughed.

"So Ginny, have you seen Blaise since your last encounter?"

"I haven't seen him to have a conversation with him but I can't stop looking at him."

"I'm no love expert, but you still love him, don't you?"

"I never stopped loving him. But I almost got over him, but now he's back in my life and I can't stop thinking about him."

"I know Gin."

"But I have to tell myself not to get attached, because we can't be in a relationship, it just doesn't work."

"Aw, Ginny, honey, I'm here for you now. You will get through this okay?"

"Thankyou Hermione."

Hermione comforted Ginny by embracing her in a tight hug.

xoxoxo

"She's on the rag, I just know it." Malfoy was explaining their argument, much like Hermione was to Ginny. Only, this was a male conversation.

"Mate, that must suck! She'll be moody for the rest of the week!" Exclaimed Blaise.

"I know." Malfoy said while rolling his eyes.

"Good luck man, your going to need it!"

"Thanks mate. You haven't heard the best bit yet! She slapped me! Three times!"

"Whoa! She slapped you! Who knew Granger had it in her!"

"I know right!"

"Mate, why are you happy about this?"

"Because she is finally showing her anger in other ways than arguing. And because I can't slap her, she has to do it to me to get rid of some of the tension."

"Sexual tension?" Blaise asked.

"He'll no man! We have all this anger and we can't do anything about it. Well she can, but I can't because I don't hit girls!"

"That's right. If you hit Granger, I'll hit you!"

"Gee thanks man. But don't worry, I'm not going to hit her. But I need a way to get rid of my tension, you know. Because she can punch me, but I can't do anything!"

"Fuck her." Blaise stated seriously.

"What?"

"You both need a way to relieve the tension and I'm guessing you both want to get back at each other at the same so I think you should fuck her."

"No way! I am not going to fuck Granger! She's probably a virgin anyway." Even though Malfoy said this, he actually thought it was a good idea.

What better way to relieve our tension and anger than fucking her. That way we can hurt each other at the same time.

It may be a good idea but he wasn't going to do that.

"Yeah probably. But just keep the thought in mind though, okay?" Blaise said.

"Yeah okay man."

"Are you all ready for our first quidditch match on Saturday?" Blaise asked.

"Yeah man, I am."

The portrait door opened and Hermione came in.

"Oh. Hey Blaise. Malfoy." She said on her way to her room.

"Hey Granger. What are you doing?" Blaise asked.

"I was just going to get changed before going down to dinner. What are you guys doing?" She asked.

"Just chilling." Blaise answered and leaned back in the couch.

"Oh okay. I'll see you guys later then."

"Yeah see ya later Granger." Blaise said as Hermione went into her room.

"Well at least she doesn't seem to be pissed at you anymore." Blaise joked.

"Did you see that! She didn't even talk to me!" Malfoy yelled.

"Mate calm down. She probably just wants some time to herself. Or maybe she doesn't want to talk to you yet."

"Maybe. C'mon mate, let's go down for dinner."
