Hermione woke the next morning slightly confused. 'Did he actually
say 'Whatever you say'? Because that's not like Dra- i mean Malfoy.
What's going on?' She got up, dressed, and went into the common room to
find Draco sprawled out on the couch fast asleep. Hermione sarted to
pack her bag but accedentally knocked all her books onto the floor
causing a thud. Draco awoke with a start.
"Can't anyone get sleep in this bloody place?!" He said glaring
at Hermione.
"Sorry. I just dropped my books." Hermione said smiling.
"Think it's funny, do you?"
"No, not at all." Hermione said as she turned toward the
portrait hole trying not to laugh. Draco smirked although he had no idea
why.
When Draco entered the Great Hall shortly after, he saw Hermione
with her posse. Draco was watching Hermione while coming down the last
flight of stairs so he tripped and rolled down them landing hard on the
floor. The posse looked over and burst into laughter, all except
Hermione. She walked over to Draco.
"Need some help?" Hermione said smiling sweetly.
"I'm fine, Granger. Leave me alone." Draco said not too sweetly.
"Fine." Hermione walked off.
One day in October: Potions class
"Today we will be making a potion that Muggles call Invisible
Ink. When you write with it, your writing disappears. You must use
another potion to make it appear again. We will make that another day."
Snape said. He gave a
wave of his wand and the instructions appeared
on the board. "Begin. Malfoy! Granger! To my desk!" The two approached
his desk. "The two of you are to see the Headmaster. Go." The two set
off with Hermione in the lead.
'Dang! Look at that - again! I can't keep thinking like that!'
Draco picked up his pace and got ahead of Hermione.
'Ohmygosh! Look at him! He's hot! WAIT! I'm talking about Draco
Malfoy! But he does have a nice - STOP! I can't keep thinking like
this.' Hermione picked up her pace so she was the same with Draco.
Dumbledore was waiting outside his office for them.
"Please, come with me." He walked up the stairs to his office
and Hermione followed with Draco following her. "Now as Head Boy and
Girl," Dumbledore started, "you must decorate and organize for the
balls. The next one is the Haloween Ball. You must decorate the Great
Hall for it. The ball is on Haloween night at 8. Start decorating after
dinner. You two only are allowed to go to Hogsmead to get anything you
might need. You will be exempt from homework on Haloween so you have
plenty of time to decorate. Good luck."
"Thanks Professor." Hermione said and she stood. Draco nodded to
Dumbledore and the two were off to back to Potions.
"You two start. We're in pairs. If you don't finish this period,
come back after dinner and finish. Begin." Neither talked till the bell
rang.
"Dra - uhh... Malfoy, i guess we'll meet back here after
dinner." Draco looked at her and smiled to himself.
"Fine." Draco grabbed his books and set off toward the Great
Hall for lunch.
