Chapter 4
When Hermione arrived at Pansy's house, she saw Harry and hugged him. "Harry, I thought you had to work until the party started?" She smiled and pulled at the collar of her shirt.
"I was able to leave early. Pansy told me something interesting when I got home." Harry watched as Hermione paled slightly and laughed nervously.
"What was that Harry?" Hermione bit her lip as she prayed he didn't know.
Harry put a hand on her shoulder that Draco had bit and she winced, "That you are refusing to go to the reunion without a date still. You need to go. Even Ron is going with Lavender Brown."
"Oh not you too, you know I don't date people." Hermione sighed relieved and moved his hand from her shoulder. "Ginny has been bugging me about it too."
"Speaking of Ginny, thanks for forgetting about me earlier." Ginny came up behind her and smirked. "I could see why you would though, I know I would forget about you if it happened to me."
Hermione turned red and ran to the kitchen, leaning on the counter and counting to ten. "This is so embarrassing, I have one lapse in judgement and I won't live it down."
Pansy laughed as she entered the kitchen with Blaise, "Oh Ginny gave me all the details when she got here. So she left just in time I take it, that bite mark gives it away love." Pansy grinned as she handed her a cup of firewhisky.
"You know too, great how many people know about my mistake?" Hermione groaned and took a big gulp of the drink as it burned her throat.
"Just us Hermione, no-one else knows about that signature mark. He only told Blaise and me his secrets, I promise." Pansy looked at her reassuringly. As Hermione dropped her cup, she looked towards the door and saw Draco standing there. He had a hurt look on his face and looked straight at Hermione.
"I just came to say Happy Birthday Pans, and I left your present in the stack." Draco's eyes never left Hermione's but turned to regret. "I have things to do, enjoy your party Pansy." He turned around to leave.
Pansy looked at Blaise and smirked, "Did you see that look? You were right the whole time."
"Yes I need to talk to him and now you owe me money." Blaise winked at Pansy before catching up with Draco.
Hermione moved her eyes from the doorframe and groaned, "Pansy I am an idiot, it just happened. We were arguing and then things led from one thing to another."
"Let's go celebrate my birthday. Everything will work out fine." Pansy walked with her back to the party.
Draco was stopped by Blaise as he was about to leave, "Wait up Draco, what the fuck happened?"
"You sent me over there to tell Granger to meet you and we started to fight again. Somehow we started kissing, and that led to sex. You heard her, a damn good mistake." He smirked remembering how good it was.
"I told you that you like her, I know you too well." Blaise looked smug as Draco's smirk dropped.
Draco looked at him annoyed, "Sex and feelings are two different things. You heard her, no feeling involved. Sometimes things just happen."
"If you say so mate, I am going to find Pans. Are you staying or leaving?" Blaise looked around to see if he could find the girls.
"I will stay for a little bit until it gets too uncomfortable." Draco noticed Hermione looking at him and gave her a questioning look.
As Blaise walked away, Ginny hurried over to Draco. "Draco, Can I get you to do something for me?"
Draco looked at her curious, "I am not throwing the championship for you, I know we have to play each other."
Ginny laughed and made sure no-one was listening, "You're funny but No I wouldn't ask that. I need you to convince Hermione to go to the reunion with you. She is refusing to go without a date."
"What do I get out of this? I mean she hates me, it will never work." Draco looked amused before looking around the room.
"I will throw the chasers off during the game, that way your team won't have any problems winning," Ginny said as she tapped her foot on the floor.
Draco started to laugh before noticing Hermione saw him and sobered up. "I don't need you to throw the game. We will beat your Harpies anyway."
"Fine, what do you want?" She looked worried her plan wouldn't work. "I know you like her, don't try to deny it."
"I think she is beautiful but that's it, I don't like her. If you want me to do this, I want you to switch teams after the season is up. You know our star chaser is leaving the team after this game, as captain I need a good replacement." Draco smirked as he sat on the stairs.
Ginny stared in shock at his request, "The Harpies need me; they would lose without me. Is there any other way?"
"No other way Red, if I have to embarrass myself, you can switch teams." Draco looked smug and waited for her response.
After five minutes of contemplating it, Ginny decided she would agree. "Ok, you have a deal Draco, I was going to leave them in a few years anyway." She reached her hand out and shook Draco's hand.
"Good choice, we are going to win in a week anyway. You can be on a winning team for once." Draco winked as he walked away smirking.
Ginny went off in the opposite direction, hoping no-one saw her made a deal with the devil. She almost was in the kitchen when Blaise stopped her.
"Ginny, what were you doing talking to Draco?" Blaise looked worried when he saw the look on her face.
"I was just making a deal about something, feel sick to my stomach now." Ginny sat in a chair and sighed.
Blaise poured her a drink and handed the cup to her, "What type of deal did you make? He usually doesn't make deals, was this about the reunion?"
Ginny nodded and blush covered her cheeks when she saw how close Blaise was. "I need his help, nothing else is working. The terms are what is bothering me."
"And he agreed to it? What did he want from you?" Blaise placed his hand on her shoulder and gently rubbed circles on her shoulder blade.
"I hope I look good in dark blue and red. I just want Hermione to realise how happy she could be." Ginny smiled as she looked into his eyes.
Blaise looked surprised and it took him a second before he realised what she meant. "Why would you agree to that? You know he wanted you to switch for the past two years."
"He has been asking me this whole season. I didn't want to leave my Harpies." Ginny stood up and saw Theo standing at the door frame. "Hey Theo," She walked over to him and hugged him.
Theo smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "I was looking for you, Draco told me you went this way."
Blaise glared at Theo before leaving the kitchen and going back to the party. He was still upset that Theo was the one Ginny was talking to.
It had been a few hours since the party had started and Draco was still nowhere close to getting Hermione to talk to him. He saw her sitting alone and smirked. It was time to make his move.
Hermione watched as Draco slowly walked over to her and sighed, "What do you want Malfoy? I thought you would leave me alone."
"I just wanted to talk to you. It's not like I need to get you to bed." Draco smirked as he slid into the seat next to her. "I have been thinking and I want to take you on a date. We already had sex, let's have the date now."
"Malfoy just because we had hate sex, doesn't mean I need a date." Hermione rolled her eyes and went to stand up, and she felt his hand wrap around her wrist. "What do you want?"
Draco looked her over and grinned to himself, "Come on Granger, it's free food and a little bit of fun." He pulled her gently down next to her and leant close to her ear. "I can even give you a happy ending at the end of the night."
Hermione jumped up and glared at him, "Just because I find you attractive, doesn't mean I like you all of a sudden. I will give you one date, tonight at nine; we can leave from here."
"You won't regret it Hermione; I promise you will have a good time." Draco stood up and pulled her close to him, "Dance with me please, just one dance." He looked into her eyes and winked.
"Fine one dance and you leave me alone until nine." Hermione sighed before being led to where people were dancing.
The next song that came on was a slow song. This made Hermione groan and placed her hand in the proper positions. The song started out with them dancing like they had a space between them. Towards the middle of the song, Draco pulled Hermione close to him and twirled her around.
"I didn't know you could dance so well Granger," Draco whispered in her ear as they swayed together, not realising they were dancing toward the side of the shadowed corner of the room.
"All you had to do was ask. I took lessons when I was little." Hermione smirked and moved her arms from his shoulders to around his neck. "I think the song is almost over,"
Draco twirled her around again before smiling for a small second. "I will meet you at the door in an hour." He pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed it softly before walking away from her.
Hermione watched him in shock and held her hand, why was he being so nice to her. As he walked over to Pansy and stole a dance with her, Hermione frowned when he was laughing with her and having fun. "What is wrong with me? It's Malfoy and I only agreed to the date to shut him up."
"So Draco, you are in a good mood, what happened?" Pansy asked as she danced with Draco, "Does it have to do with a certain witch?"
"Pans can't I just be in a good mood, I was propositioned to get Granger to go with me to the reunion. So I am trying to woo her and convince her to go with me." Draco twirled Pansy and grinned.
She laughed when he dipped her and smirked, "You two were awful distracted when you danced, I thought you would pull her away to the extra room."
"I can't deny that she is attractive but I don't love her or anything. She has her eyes on someone else though, remember when she kissed Blaise." Draco looked distracted as he finished the dance and went to sit down.
"Can I ask you something Draco? How do you feel about Hermione?" Pansy sat next to him and smiled.
Draco looked at Pansy and sighed, "I don't know after today everything feels different. At first, I just wanted to be her friend but I am starting to see her differently. I don't like her but I can't describe it."
Sorry for not putting this chapter up sooner, life got in the way. I have the story completed and only four more chapters to post!
