AN1: I wanted to do a more serious chapter, but then again, I also wanted to update today. I can't have both, so yes, this is another twist on a conversation I had with my neighbor. Don't ask. And Erica, don't get any ideas. HAHA and isn't that a ridiculously clever chapter title? I thought so. hehe.
Disclaimer: I'm running out of clever and witty remarks to put here. So sad. Anyway, no, I don't own Harry Potter.

Draco threw his hands up in frustration. "Why does nobody believe me? I seriously do have one!"
Hermione rolled her eyes as she looked up from her book. "Why are you so insistent on people believing that you have a six-pack? Is it really that important?"
"Yes it is!"
"Why?"
"I don't know, it just is; but whenever I tell them they don't believe me."
Again, Hermione rolled her eyes at the idiocy of her dorm mate. "There is one way you can prove it to people."
His hands crossed at his chest. "No way! I am not going to flash people...that's just weird!"
"Then I guess you don't want people to believe you that badly."
"It's not people; it's just one person that I want to prove it to; only her belief counts. Oh! I could just get a picture and show it to her."
"Yeah," she said sarcastically, "because she would totally believe that that's a true picture of you. I mean, it's not like you can edit pictures with your wand or anything. And even if you could, it isn't like she would think that you edited it." Hermione paused here and rolled her eyes, just to make sure that he understood that she was being sarcastic.
"Now if you gave the picture to someone who wouldn't do that, then yes, maybe people would believe you."
Draco groaned at having been out-smarted again but his eyes took on a gleam of inspiration. "Why don't you carry around the picture and show her for me?"
"No." Hermione said resolutely, "How would I know that you didn't edit it yourself? Answer: I wouldn't. And besides, I don't even know if I fully believe you myself. So that will not work."
The Slytherin threw his hands up in exasperation. "Fine then." He unbuttoned his robe and the dress shirt underneath it. "See?" Draco turned to Hermione, his pale chest and stomach exposed. Hermione gaped.
"W-well how do I know that's not a spell or something?"
"Come over here and see for yourself."
She hesitantly walked over to him and pointed her wand at him. "Finite incantatum!" Nothing changed; he still had the most gorgeous body she had ever seen. His six-pack was well defined as was the 'V' that led down below the waistband of his pants. Tiny, pale blond hairs trailed down his stomach and those too, led downward.
Without thinking, Hermione stepped up to him and touched his stomach. His abs were rock hard. Lightly she traced her index finger along his six-pack, outlining each one with her finger. Delicious shivers ran down his spine. Daringly she ran her finger over the 'V' and stopped right above the waistband of his pants. Again, Draco shivered in pleasure. Hermione looked up at him and saw he had a glazed look in his eyes. With a raised eyebrow, she stepped away from him and smirked.
"So you've proven it to me," Hermione said playfully, "now who do you want me to take a picture and prove it to?"
"You don't need to take a picture anymore. I don't care about proving it to anybody." The corners of Draco's mouth quirked up a bit as he spoke.
"I don't understand, what happened to the one that you wanted to prove it to? Does she still matter?"
"Of course she still matters, but she believes me...now."
