Summary: Draco is picking Hermione up from Gryffindor Tower and is interrogated by the seven year boys while waiting for her.
Quote is from Sydney White
Draco stood pacing in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady trying to get the courage to knock.
"Oh, dear lord, just go get the girl!" the portrait said, opening for the familiar blond.
Draco shot a sheepish smile toward the portrait and walked through, the sight of the five seventh year Gryffindors greeted him. He gulped before putting on his mask of indifference.
"Malfoy." Harry said, a scowl in place, showing that he was only attempting to be pleasant because Hermione asked him to.
"Potter." Malfoy responded. There was an awkward silence before Seamus and Dean appeared on either side of him. They led him to a chair and pushed him down into it.
"Now, you're taking our princess out tonight. There are a few things you should know." Seamus began, a smirk spreading across his face, the look spreading to the other four boys.
"We don't like you." Ron stated bluntly.
"Therefore, we will not hesitate to cause you more pain than you have ever felt." Harry continued, throwing a quick glare at Ron.
"We have connections. The Weasley Twins love Hermione and you could find yourself on the receiving end of a series of pranks made specifically for you and your displeasure." Neville picked up.
"And, if you try any funny stiff, I will unleash the power of the internet on you. I will resister you as a sex offender in the UK, all 50 states… and Canada." Dean ended. Draco gulped. Before they could continue, Hermione walked into the Common Room and cleared her throat and Draco shot out of the chair and walked over to her. He kissed her cheek and took her hand.
"I'm sorry about them. I told them not to do anything but you know how good Harry and Ron are at following directions." Hermione smiled up at him before leading to the Portrait Hole.
Draco chuckled, feeling much better now that it was just them.
"Remember to use protection, Hermione!" Lavender yelled after them.
"And to give us all the details!" Parvati added.
"There will be none of that if I can help it," they heard Harry say.
"You put that invisibility cloak back in your trunk, Mr. Potter!" Lavender scolded.
Hermione laughed and Draco couldn't help but join her.
