The next morning at breakfast, Hermione glanced over to the Slytherin table, and was met by Pansy's grin. She smiled back, trying to be slightly more discreet than her excited girlfriend. They exchanged nods, ready to go through with the plan.

When it was close to the end of breakfast, Harry and Hermione started getting up to go to their next class. Ron always stayed later than them, staying as late as possible and eating as much as possible, always just barely on time to his first class.

As they were leaving the Great Hall, Hermione leaned over and whispered into Harry's ear. "Meet me at the Astronomy Tower after dinner." Harry gave her a puzzled look, but she was already on her way to class.

As Draco was about to get up and go to class, Pansy pulled him back down by his arm.

"Dray, darling?"

"Yes, Pansy?" Draco asked,  sighing, a bit annoyed she was delaying him from getting to class.

"Could you meet me at the Astronomy Tower after dinner tonight? I'd like to talk to you about something." Pansy answered.

"Couldn't we just talk in the common room?" Draco asked.

"Yes, but you never know if that place'll be empty. Or who will come in at any random time. The Astronomy Tower is more private."

"Pans, we'll be perfectly fine in the common room, there's usually no one up there anywa-"

"Dray pleeease! Besides, we can look at the stars! I know how much you love constellations."

When Draco was younger, much younger, his mother and father would take him to this open field near their house, and set down a blanket. They'd just look up at the stars, and Draco's mother always told him about each and every constellation, including the Draco constellation. That one had always been Draco's favourite when he was little.

Draco sighed exasperatedly.

"Fine, Pansy. Now get up, or we'll be late to class!" Pansy quickly followed behind Draco, rolling her eyes at his grumpiness, which she still loved him for anyways, and smiling to herself.

Throughout the day, Hermione made sure to avidly avoid Harry. In every class he tried to sit next to her in, she quickly grabbed a startled Ron and sat him down next to her. Or she purposely took a seat on the other side of the room, so that by the time Harry tried to move next to her, class had already started. During Potions, Hermione scrambled into the seat next to Pansy, hurriedly getting away from Harry. He sent her a confused -and somewhat annoyed- look across the room, which she ignored. She turned to Pansy, her face immediately painted with a bright smile.

"Well hello there."

"Hi," Hermione responded, blushing slightly. God, this girl was gonna be the death of her. Pansy hadn't even done anything, and yet she'd still blushed.
She blinked, getting her head back in the game.

"So how's it going?"

"Good, I've actually managed to avoid him all day. That way, he'll be too curious, he'll have to go to the Astronomy Tower. What'd you do to get Draco there?"

"Oh, just made excellent points and puppy dog eyes," Pansy said airily, flashing a darling smile that she'd surely used on Draco.

"He really listened?"

"Oh, yes. Draco is quite stubborn, but I can make him do anything. He may also be slightly afraid of what happens if he doesn't do it anyways, because he's been taught a lesson before." Pansy smirked at this, an 'oh yes I did something but I'll never tell' smirk, that just made Hermione giggle.
