Dramione

Four

Hermione was sitting on her bed writing to Ginny.  She told her all about the quidditch match, leaving out that she actually didn't mind when Malfoy had rescued her.

"Hermione!" She stopped writing and headed down the stairs to the common room.

"What is it Dean?" But she quickly stopped in place. No!

"Hello Hermione!" He stood there holding a dozen roses and a box of chocolates.

"Hi Cormac....what are you...?"

"Doing here? I wanted to take you on a date. Perhaps to hogsmeade!" He raised his eyebrows. Hermione suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Oh that's sweet Cormac! But I can't I have to study and what not!" She gave a glare at Dean who was now snickering to himself.

"Oh well I'd love to study with you!" He shoved the flowers into her arms.

"I can't accept these really!" She had a guilty look on her face. Was this guy clueless. She thought she had ended it when she dumped a glass of butter ever on him. Or the time when she hid from him at slug horns party.

"I insist! They are as pretty as your eyes....and red as your lips.....soft and magical."

Hermione smiled nervously. "Ok then....well I'm going to the library..you two have fun" she said running towards the portrait door.

"But Hermione your wearing.......pajamas!" Dean called out, but she was already gone.

"She loves me!" Cormac looked at Dean, with puppy eyes.

"Sure mate...sure!" He patted his back and ran into his dormitory.

**********

Hermione ran down the Corridor as fast as she could, slowing down when she realized he wasn't following.

"Ha ha ha ha! Your wearing your pajamas!" Hermione turned but saw nobody.

"Who is there?" She raised her eyebrow when she heard the laugh again.

"It's me in the picture!" She cranned her neck noticing a small portrait. It was an elf, but looked completely different than Dobby. He was sitting in a garden drinking what looked like a cup of butter beer.

"Oh shove it!" She yelled under her breathe. She was being laughed at by a painting! Figures. The elf quickly dissapeard from the painting, laughing as he went.

She sighed. But she suddenly felt her flowers being taken away. "Hey!" She froze yet again, seeing his grey eyes, and blonde hair.

"Nice flowers! For me!? Why thank you granger!" He said with a grin spreading across his face.

"No Malfoy they aren't for you! But keep them anyways!" She groaned.

"Nice pajamas!" He winked.

Hermione felt her face flush red. "It's not funny!" She slapped him on his arm.

"Hey!" He scowled.

"You deserved it!"

"Last I remembered you owe me! Do you recall the quidditch match?" He started laughing.

"No we are even! You took my wand! Remember! And don't speak of that match again! To anyone!"

"Fine but please do tell me... How I stumbled on Hermione granger in her pajamas, in the middle of the afternoon, holding a bouquet of......"
He looked down. "Roses? Really granger that is awful nice of you! 12 even!"

"I said they are not for you they were from......"she heard footsteps coming down the hallway. "Shit!" She grabbed Malfoys wrist pulling him into the nearest closet.

"Who are we hiding from?" Draco asked, but quickly felt her hand over his mouth. "Shhhh! I hear him coming!"

Hermione looked down at her hand still coiled around his wrist. She quickly let go. "Where are the flowers Malfoy!" Her face become even more panicked.

"What do you mean? I thought....."he looked down at his hands, and back at Hermione. "I must have dropped them! What's it matter?"

"Arrgg fine! I'll explain! Cormac gave them to me just a while ago!"

"McLaggen?" Malfoy scoffed.

"Yes but that is besides the point! He asked me out in a date, and well I quickly ran away before I could agree! He had a crush on me since ever, it's really becoming annoying."

"Ok....so?"

"So I'm avoiding him, and i heard him coming down the corridor after me....which means if you dropped the stupid flowers, he might find....me!"

"You mean us!" Hermione stared at him. Did Draco Malfoy just say us? She felt a strange feeling in her stomach. He was rather close to her and well, she couldn't help but just stare at him.

"Hermione!? Are you there?" She quickly snapped back to reality. Cormac was standing outside the door. She stayed silent untill she heard his footsteps further down the hallway.

"I think he's gone!" Malfoy snapped.

"Right!" Hermione pushed the door open and entered into the corridor. The flowers were gone.

"Oh I am going to miss those!" Malfoy frowned sarcastically.

Hermione looked at him and started to laugh. "Seriously! It's getting rather old!"

"I'm never going to stop! I will always remember the day that granger gave me a dozen red roses in her pajamas!"

"Well I'm going to change!" She said looking down at her appearance! "See you never Malfoy!" She started to walk away

" oh I'm counting on it!"
