The Social Media Wars

Chapter 11: Things Fall Into Place

"When are you going to give me your spot?" Draco asked as he and Hermione made their way to the school grounds. It's a fine day and everybody decided to hangout. "Never." Hermione quickly replied.

"I figured as much." Draco grinned. It was really uncharacteristic of him to be expressive like that towards anyone let alone Hermione but she makes it so easy for him.

His conversations with her have become longer. Not only were they connected through chat but they also reach each other through text when meetings with other student officials are to take place. And when they are in the same area, they always find a way to interact.

"At least I won't be handing it to you so easily. If you really want to get the top spot Draco, you've got to beat me to it." Hermione said returning a grin. He wouldn't admit it but the sound of his name is different when she says it.

"Then better guard it well Hermione." He said. This made her stop on her tracks. It's the first time he's ever called her by her name. And she'll never know how much effort it cost him to say it.

"There you are!" Blaise said as soon as he spotted his friends. "We've been waiting for you. Pansy and Theo told us the meeting's over fifteen minutes ago. What took you so long?" 

Theo has been made prefect to replace Draco, among the many things which happened the past months. Together with Daphne Greengrass, he was on hallway paroles often. This made it difficult to gather everyone to be in one place.

There were times when only Theo was not around. Other times it was either Hermione or Draco or three of them. This is the reason why Blaise volunteered to look for Draco and Hermione. They weren't responding to calls, texts, nor chats.

"Head master wanted a word with me." 

"Prof.McGonagall wanted a word with me."

The two of them said at the same time. "I won't even ask again what the two of you said." Blaise commented. The two have been weirdly in sync recently it's becoming an interesting topic in the group chat. Of course they wouldn't know. They were too busy.

But just to amuse himself a bit, Blaise asked one more question. "I get that. But why didn't any of you send us a message after? We called each of you twice."

"You did?" Hermione and Draco said at the same time. Blaise tried his best to not laugh at this. "Sorry, my phone's on silent mode." They added in unison. They were so in sync they don't even notice it.

Dmalfoy: Pans?

Pparkinson: Hey D.

Dmalfoy: You busy?

Pparkinson: I'm the one who should be asking you that. Something wrong?

Dmalfoy: I don't know. I just...

Dmalfoy: *typing*

Pparkinson: Do you want to meet at the Slytherin common room? Or wherever.

Dmalfoy: Preferably, yes. Meeting up is good.

Pparkinson: Whatever it is, it will be alright D.

Dmalfoy: You make it sound like it's a matter of life and death.

Pparkinson: You sound like a matter of life and death.

Dmalfoy: Lol! 

Pparkinson: In five?
