I own nothing Harry Potter!

This is sort of another filler, but I felt like it was necessary.

Enjoy!

Hermione POV

The next morning I was sitting at breakfast in the Great Hall when Ron came in and sat next to me. "Did you talk to her yet?" he asks, his voice nervous. I look between him and then where Draco's sitting at the Slytherin table.

"I'm not sure if Draco talked to her yet or not. I asked him to last night," I answer as I try to catch Draco's eye.

"Talk to who?" Ginny butts in from across the table.

"Pansy," Ron answers, his face tinged pink. He turns back to me and says, "Go find out."

I roll my eyes, it's funny seeing Ron this nervous about Pansy Parkinson. "Wait, what's going on?" Ginny asks, clearly out of the loop.

"You brother over her fancies Pansy Parkinson," I answer after making sure it was okay with Ron.

"You fancy Pansy?" Ginny exclaims, her face full of excitement.

"Yes," Ron answers nervously as he chews on the inside of his cheek.

"That's great!" Ginny squeals. "You and Pansy, Hermione and Draco, and Blaise and I," she counts the Gryffindor/Slytherin couples on her fingers. "Now we just have to find a Slytherin girl for you Harry and we'll be a little group of Gryffindor/Slytherin couples."

Harry laughs, "Sorry Gin, I was thinking more like Ravenclaw." We all follow Harry's gaze to where Luna is sitting. I smile to myself, they'd be perfect together.

As Ginny goes on to pester Harry about Luna, Ron turns to me and says, "Will you go find out?" his eyes are pleading.

"Yeah," I nod and get up from the Gryffindor to make my way over to the Slytherin table.

Part way through my journey across the Hall, Draco's eyes start following me. I smile at him and meet his eyes as I reach their table and squeeze in between Draco and Blaise at the table. "Hey," Draco smiles at me, his eyes questioning. It doesn't surprise me that he looks confused at me sudden seat change, I'm Hermione Granger and I've never been one to break the unspoken house rules that you only sit at your own table. I just shrug at him and give him a quick kiss.

"Ron sent me over," I say in way of explanation.

"Let me guess, he wants to know if I talked to..." Draco trails off as Pansy approaches.

"Wow, Granger's sitting at the Slytherin table?" Pansy teases as she takes a seat on the other side of Draco.

"Is there a problem with that?" I ask, unsure of if she is actually just teasing or if she's pissed that I'm here.

"Not at all, it's just shocking," Pansy shrugs as she starts to fill her plate.

"I'll take that as a yes," I whisper only loud enough for Draco to hear. He nods at me and turns to Pansy, "I was just getting ready to tell her about the party Friday night."

"Party?" I ask, knowing this is part of the groundwork for setting Ron and Pansy up. It seems like Draco did talk to Pansy and she's might actually be okay with the idea.

"Yeah, you're invited," Pansy waves her hand as if it's obvious. "Just don't bring too many goody two shoes Gryffindors," she rolls her eyes in mock agitation.

"Don't listen to her, you are all invited," Draco says from inbetween us.

Pansy rolls her eyes at Draco's need to clarify. "Make sure you bring Potter and Weasley," Pansy says, not turning her attention to me. It comes off as if she's just being friendly, but I have a feeling she wants them there for some reason...or at least Ron.

"I'll make sure they know," I smile and give Draco a quick peck on the cheek before I start to stand. "I should get back before people start think I've gone crazy for sitting at the Slytherin table," I tease.

Draco grabs my wrist and stands pulling me into a hug, "She's one board, but she thinks it's her idea," Draco whispers in my ear before releasing me.

"Thank you," I mouth before turning and making my way back over to the Gryffindor table as almost every eye in the room follows me. I know it must be crazy seeing me hanging out at the Slytherin table after so many years of seeming to hate them.

As soon as I sit back down at the Gryffindor table Ron asks, "So, did he talk to her yet?" His voice is anxious, I've honestly never seen Ron this way over a potential relationship.

"There's a party at Slytherin Friday night," I inform. "We're all invited."

"Is Pansy going to be there?" Ron asks hopefully.

"Of course she is doofus," Ginny rolls her eyes at her brother. "It's a Slytherin party." I laugh at Ginny's frankness. I can tell she's getting a kick out of Ron fancying Pansy.

"Is she going to be there Hermione?" Ron turns and repeats his question to me, ignoring his sister.

"Yes she's going to be there," I answer with a smile. "She asked me to make sure you came," I add.

"Really?" Ron asks hopefully.

"Yes really," I answer with a laugh. "You're invited as well Harry," I look around Ron to where Harry is sitting. He nods and goes back to eating.

Around us everyone starts to get up and head off to class, breakfast flew by this morning. "We should get going," I say as I start to gather my things and the others follow suit.

"Thanks Hermione," Ron says catching up to me as I exit the Hall.

"No problem Ron. Just make sure you go for it on Friday," I smile at him, knowing how he's feeling. He knows he likes Pansy but he's unsure if she feels the same. I'm kind of in the same situation right now. I know I love Draco but I'm not sure if he feels the same way or not.

Ron and I part ways at the steps and Draco falls into Ron's place beside me. He takes my hand in his and we make our way down the corridor until he pulls me to the side, out of the way of the traffic flow. "What's up?" I smile up at him.

"Now that we're done playing match maker for the time being, I really want to spend some alone time with you," Draco says as he leans closer to me and runs a thumb over my cheek.

"And we should do that by skipping class," I tease as I gesture to everyone heading to class. I am in total agreement with Draco that we need some alone time and if we have to skip class to do that then I'm completely in...shocking right?

"Not this time," he smiles at me as he twirled a lock of my hair around his long finger. "Meet me in the Room of Requirement at eight," he whispers as he leans in and kisses me. "I have plans for you," he sends me a sexy wink over his shoulder as he pulls away and disappears into the crowd of students.

I smile to myself as I think of all the things that Draco could have planned for tonight. Suddenly I know I'm not going to be able to concentrate at all during class. I take a deep breath and get my racing heart under control before I push off the wall and make my way to class. All I know is that today better fly by because I was in desperate need of some sweet, romantic alone time with Draco.

Thanks for reading and I'd love to know what you think!
