I own nothing.
"You're really smart Hermione," Astoria said smiling, "I really like talking to you."
"You're smart too Astoria," I said smiling back, "You just have to show people that."
"I think people wouldn't like me," she said shaking her head, "I mean not a lot of people like smart people. Anyways, I'm too much of a book worm."
"I'm a huge book worm too," I said placing a hand on her shoulder, "And I have two of the best friends I could ever want."
"But you're missing something I want," she said biting her lip roughly.
"What is that?" I asked confused.
"You don't have a lover," she said blushing, "I'm sorry, but I guess that's what I always have thought about. I want to get married to the person I love. Didn't you ever want that?"
"Yes," I said sighing, "I have."
"You have someone that you want that with, don't you?" she asked curiously.
"I do," I said calmly, "You might have actually heard of him."
"What is his name?" she asked cocking an eyebrow.
"George Weasley," I said softly.
"I know him," she said her eyes wide, "You two would look so cute together. Why don't you ask him out?"
"I don't know," I said smiling sadly, "I guess I don't think he likes me the same way."
"Maybe you should ask him," she said before looking away.
"Maybe you should tell the guy you like too," I said knowingly.
"How did you know I liked someone?" she asked surprised.
"Because I saw the way you looked at Draco," I said smirking, "You should totally go for it."
Astoria blushed and looked behind her only to stop and give me a confused look. I looked back wondering what she had seen only to realize that Draco wasn't following us anymore.
"Where's Draco?" Astoria asked confused.
"I don't know," I said shaking my head, "Do you think we should try to find him?"
"No," she said sighing, "I think he wants to be alone right now. He'll come to us when he's ready."
"You have it bad," I said laughing.
"Shh," she said blushing.
"Don't worry," I said draping an arm over the shoulders and moving for us to start walking again, "I won't tell Draco unless you want me to."
"Thank you," she said pushing the door open to the Great Hall.
"Miss Hermione, Miss Astoria," McGonagall said when she saw us, "Where is Mr. Malfoy?"
"We don't know," I said calmly, "All of us were walking when Astoria looked behind us and Draco wasn't there."
"I have a feeling I know where he is," Snape said walking up to us, "If I'm right he's about to fall asleep."
"But he'll miss dinner," Astoria said concerned.
"Draco does this sometimes," Snape said calmly, "How do you think he's so skinny?"
"Hermione," McGonagall said surprised, "Didn't you ever notice that Draco was rarely in this room when we ate?"
"No," I said shaking my head, "If he's not here, than where is he?"
"Reading some Muggle book in the Slytherin Common Room," Snape said with a sneer, "He does that when his day has been hectic."
"Oh," Astoria said looking away, "I guess I was right to say that we have to give him time."
"Yes," McGonagall said nodding, "Why don't you two eat? We will be going to bed. I suggest you do the same after you eat."
"We will," I said smiling, "Goodnight Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape."
Both professors nodded their heads and walked out of the Great Hall. Astoria and I sat down in the chairs that were already there and started to put food on our plate. I couldn't help but realize that Astoria was a pretty girl.
Astoria had brownish blonde hair and beautiful pale green eyes. As I continued to look I her I realized that her and Draco would make a wonderful couple. I decided that tomorrow I would talk to Draco about Astoria and see how he felt about her.
With these thoughts running through my head I continued to make a plan about how I would get the two of them together once Draco told me that he liked her. I knew that it was going to be hard to get him to say he liked her, but I would get him to.
"Hermione," Astoria said touching my shoulder softly, "Are you coming?"
"Yeah," I said shaking my head.
"Where were you?" she asked curiously.
"Just thinking about you and Draco," I said honestly, "You two would make such a cute couple."
"I wish," she said sadly, "I do like him."
"I'm totally going to hurt you two up," I said smiling, "And I don't care about what you say. You two belong together and I'm going to get you together whether you want me to help or not."
"Come on Hermione," she said pouting.
"I don't want to hear it," I said putting my hand up and opening the door to the Room of Requirements, "Now let's go to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow."
"Okay," she said grabbing a bag and looking around, "Where can I get dressed?"
"Have you ever been in here before?" I asked curiously.
"No," she said shaking her head.
"Just think of a room and it will appear," I said calmly, "Then you can get dressed. Knock before you come out to make sure I'm dressed."
"Alright," she said walking into the room that appeared.
I quickly changed into a green tank top and matching plaid pajama pants. Astoria knocked on the door and walked out when I said it was safe. I smiled softly at her before climbing into one of the beds that was there.
"Good night Astoria," I said when she was in her bed.
"Good night," Astoria said softly.
"Don't scream Draco's name in your sleep," I said smirking.
"Only if you don't scream George's," she said back.
"No promises," I said laughing.
"Hermione," she said shyly, "Do you really think I have a chance with Draco?"
"Astoria," I said sitting up, "I can promise you that you will be with him. I just have to talk to him first. I have a feeling it's going to be harder to get Draco to say he likes you than it was to say you like him."
"Is it always like that?" she asked looking over at me.
"With Draco?" I said laying back down, "I think so. Draco and I don't really know each other, but I have a feeling that he would be like that. Now go to sleep. I'll figure everything out tomorrow."
Astoria let out a sigh before turning away and letting her breathing even out. I couldn't help but wonder if I was going to be able to pull off getting the two of them together.
