Rain poured down from the heavens, every student scattered to find sheller. The Hogwarts' ground was covered with water. A few students splashed in puddles and catching raindrops with their tongues. Some would think that it is the first years, but they would be wrong it was the seventh and eighth years (well the mortuary of them).
Hermione however didn't splash in the pubbles or catch raindrops, no matter how tempting it was she didn't. She knew better then that, she is no child anymore. Her childhood was ruined by Voldemort and after first year she was red alert.
Hermione watched her friends have their fun. Third week here and they're going to be sick like dogs. Hermione shook her head, she wasn't going to spoil their fun.
"How come you're not with your friends," a familiar voice said from behind her.
"Because I don't what to get sick,"Hermione replied with a smile, but didn't turn to face Draco.
"You do know that's rude not to make eye contact with a person you are talking to," Draco said still standing behind her.
"Oh is it now," Hermione said,then turned and smiled up at Draco.
"Yes,Yes it is,"Draco said while walking a little closer."Lovely weather we are having."
"You came up to me so you can talk about the weather?"Hermione said,knitting her eyebrows.
"You caught me Granger,"Draco said and put his hands up as if his was getting arrested."I'm here to tell you that we need to do patrol tonight."
"What, but it's Friday,"Hermione said, but she almost yelled it. "Macmillan and Hannah are supposed to do patrol tonight."
"Yeah well Macmillan got sick, so Abbott will be outnumbered if someone is snogging in a broom closet."
"Not everyone snogs after curfew."
"Okay I'll bet that we will find more than one couple snogging tonight."
"How much?"
"Five galleons."
"Okay I bet that we will find no couples and you more than one couple."
"So is that a yes."
Hermione nodded and shook hands with Draco, who smiled a mischievous smile. They didn't notice that Harry, Ginny and Valentine were staring at them confused, but they didn't do anything to stop them. Ron however did put matter in his own hands and walked to the headboy and headgirl.
"Is Ferret bothering you buttercup,"Ron said while putting an arm around Hermione. Hermione stiffened up when his arm touched her, her muscles seem to prepare for harm,but nothing happen. Draco squinted his eyes a little when he saw Hermione stiffened, but didn't say anything.
"Buttercup is your pet name Hermione?"Draco asked Hermione.
"How dare you call my buttercup Hermione,"Ron said and lifted his arm from Hermione, pointing his finger at Draco.
"It's rude to point Weasel,"Draco said to Ron, then turned his head to Hermione." See you tonight Hermione."
"Yeah,"Hermione meekly responded. Draco nodded,then turned on his heel and walked into the castle behind him.
"What were you two talking about?"Ron said to Hermione angrily.
"I-I have patrol with Draco tonight,that's all."
"You mean Ferret and you better not be lying to me."
Hermione shook her head to tell Ron that she wasn't lying. He nodded and kissed her on the head, to make whoever was watching them think that they are the perfect couple, which was a huge lie.
***************************
"Your late Hermione,"Draco said to Hermione, as she was walking down the stairs to the dungeons.
"Thanks for waiting for me," Hermione said srascastitly.
Draco only rolled his eyes and started to walk to Hermione.
"Okay we'll do the regular routine," Draco said, Hermione nodded in agreement.
The two eighth years went though every classroom and broom closet, to Hermione's amusement, there was no students out of bed snogging.
They moved to the first floor,then the second and still no students.Draco was having second thoughts on the bet. They soon walked to the third floor, Draco practically run all the way to the sixth floor to see if there were any students, but still no one.
"How come there are no students out," Draco said with frustration.
"Did you forget what tomorrow is?"Hermione laughed, Draco only tilted his head like a confused puppy. "Merlin, Draco remind me to get you a remembrall."
"What?"
"Tomorrow is Hogsmeade,"Hermione laughed again.
"Oh yeah, Parkinson was going on and on about what we should do."
"See you do need a remembrall!"
"Shut up."
Hermione only laughed, and headed to the stairs. Draco did the same. They both walked down the stairs to the fifth floor to the head callumroom.
"Hello Miss Granger, Mister Malfoy,"Snape greeted.
"Hello Professor," Hermione and Draco said together.
"Password."
"Butterbeer's Beard,"Draco said then the portrait.
Hermione went up the stair to her room,but Draco didn't come up the stairs. Hermione looked down and saw that he was on the couch staring at the fire.
"Aren't you going to bed,"Hermione said from her door.
"No I'm...going to do some homework before bed,"Draco answered.
"Oh-Okay,"Hermione said then opened her door, she turned to close it, but she had an idea."GOOD NIGHT DRACO!!" Hermione yelled so he could hear her,
"GOOD NIGHT HERMIONE,"Draco yelled back.
Hermione smiled then close her door and jumped on her bed,ready for sleep.
