Make Or Break (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4: Conversation

I will never admit how much fun I had. We ran out to avoid the prying eyes of Slytherin, trying to hold in our laughter. "What are you two doing?" McGonagall asked, eyeing our hands intertwined.

I pulled mine out of hers and my smile fell. "We were uh..." Hermione started, trying to come up with a lie. I had a strange feeling that if we lied, McGonagall would know but if we told the truth she wouldn't do anything.

"We were running from Ginny. Ron was telling her a story and she got overexcited and we ran so she didn't catch us." I said. Hermione glared at me but smiled when McGonagall nodded and reminded us not to be late to our first class.

"How did you know that she wouldn't do anything?" Hermione asked.

 "I didn't." 

 She glared at me again as we walked into the Common Room. "Hermione!" Ginny yelled. Hermione stared at me with large, pleading eyes and I just chuckled, shaking my head.

 "I have to go prepare for class Hermione." I smiled.

"This isn't helping your case of me hating you any less." she scowled.

 "Feel free to hate me as much as you'd like. We still have to get married." I said. Then I winked and turned away, hurrying upstairs when I heard Ginny's giggles.

(Hermione's POV)

I will admit it was a bit fun to be running around with Draco. Was. Then he decided to leave me to my death with Ginny to prepare. He winked as he turned and strutted upstairs and I stared up after him. I didn't know what to feel right now. There were so many feeling that I just couldn't place one.

I was shocked that he left. Angry that he left. Shocked that he winked. Flustered because of the way he was acting. And other... feelings. 

"You're staring." Ginny said. 

"Am not." I choked as I turned to face her. She hugged me tightly and squealed causing me to nearly go deaf in one ear.

"I suppose Ron told you." I grumbled. 

"Well of course he did. It is so cute. George is going to have to owe me double." she mumbled. I didn't hear that last part but I had an idea about what she said.

 "What?" 

"Never mind that. So how are things between you and Draco going?" Nathalia asked as she walked in.

Great now I'm going to have to deal with an overexcited Nathalia too.

"Oh no. We are not going there." I chuckled.

 "Why? If you don't want to say anything, that just means there really is something going on." she sang.

"There is nothing going on between me and Draco." I groaned.

 "Really? So that tickle fight yesterday... that was nothing going on?" Ginny asked. 

"No. I didn't want him to sleep on the bed but he wasn't allowing me to take it so as he made a bed for me on the floor..." I started.

"Wait. He was going to make a bed for you on the floor?" she asked. 

"Yeah but I could understand why. Anyway, I sprawled myself out on the bed so he couldn't get on it and as much as he tried to move me... he couldn't. I told him there was only one way he could get me off. He stared at me and remembered I curled into a ball when I was being tickled. So that's what he did. I was laughing because it's hard not to when your being tickled. And I realized that soon he was too." I explained.
