We Were Always A Losing Game

Chapter 6: Busted

I wake up and look at the time. its 7:22AM. I still have time to get ready. I go into the bathroom splash my face with water and look back up into the mirror to see Draco standing in the doorway smiling at me. "Draco? What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in?" I ask. He says nothing just grabs my face and kisses me softly. The feeling I get when he kisses me is like no other feeling I've experienced. I feel like the only girl in the world when he kisses me. "Good morning Granger" Draco says with a smirk on his face. "What are you doing here Draco?" I ask genuinely confused as to how he got into the Gryffindor common room let alone the dormitories. He just does a shushing motion and leaves the room. I continue to get ready with a smile on my face.

"Morning!" I say to Harry and Ron. "What's put you in such a good mood this morning then?" Harry says. "Nothing, I'm just excited to get my test results in potions today" I say knowing that was a lie. it was actually because of Draco and the way he makes me feel. Me, Harry and Ron walk out of the common room and down the staircase. "Morning Granger!" I hear Draco say as he walks past me as if he didn't waltz into my room this morning. I turn around and smile at him but my face drops as I see he is with Dean and Dean has the most deadly stare I've ever seen. Is Dean really jealous over Draco saying good morning to me? or was he just annoyed in general? who knows.

later on in the day I am sat in potions class next to harry when Professor Snape is handing out our test results. "I'm so nervous" I say to harry thinking about how I will never get to be a potions master without at least a grade A. Snape then slams my work on my desk and smiles at me and whispers the words "well done". I open the folded piece of paper to see that I had got an A+. "Oh my god Hermione! Thats amazing!" Harry says looking down at my results. I am in utter shock because this is nothing like what I had expected to get. Draco looks over at me and mouths the words "Well done Granger". I loved it when he called me that because that's what my father used to call me and since he passed away nobody had called me it. "Well done to Miss Granger on getting the highest grade in the class" Snape says with a smile on his face.

While I'm sitting in the common room that night, just before I was about to go to bed, I get a text from Draco. The texts says "Look under your pillow, let me know when you have it". I quickly run up to my room and pull up my pillow to reveal a marble. A marble? Why would he leave a marble under my pillow? I text him back saying "A marble?". "It means you have to meet me in our spot" Draco texts back. I quickly run out of my room, down the corridor and into the common room when I run into Harry and Ron. "Where are you going so late?" says Harry with a concerned look on his face. "Ummm....nowhere" I say hesitantly. "Tell the truth Hermione" Ron says. "Ok fine, I'm going to meet Draco" I whisper so nobody else hears me. "WHAT!" Harry shouts. "You heard me, now I'm leaving and you can't stop me". "They might not be able to but I certainly can" I hear someone say behind me. I turn around to see Professor Mcgonagall. "Get to bed! All of you! Especially you Miss Granger, I expected better of such an intelligent student, and your actions will be reported to Professor Dumbledore and he will make the decision on your punishment for trying to wander around the school grounds past nightfall." "I'm sorry Professor" I say apologetically, and I slowly walk up to my room. I lay on my bed and take out my phone to see I have three missed calls from Draco and tons of text messages. "Sorry. got caught. text you tomorrow x" I text to Draco and he texts back "Ok goodnight Granger, sweet dreams x".
