Chapter 5 Book 1

After a War

Hermione sat on her bed. The sun was just starting to shine through the girls dorm window. Did she really? It was a dream right? She didn't actually... snog with a Malfoy, right?

"Your up early." Maya said as she sat up and rubbed her eyes, disrupting her thoughts, she was thankful for that too, she was thinking about Draco too much.

"I didn't sleep much." Hermione said. She hugged her bent knees.

"What happened?" Maya asked.

"Draco..." She shook her head.

"Is that why Theo came in here last night?" Bella asked. She had her black hair in a bun and was still laying down.

"Yeah, Draco had a nightmare and wouldn't wake up. So I went inside his dream." She said. She looked at Maya.

"That's awesome! What spell did you use?" Maya asked.

"I'm not telling you that! You'll be waking everyone up or meddling with their dreams!" Hermione teased.

"Great, my reputation has spread too far!" Maya laughed. Bella smirked.

"What time is it?" Bella asked.

"We have about a hour until breakfast." Hermione said.

"So, anything we say to you out there, isn't true. We're just saying it." Bella said. Maya nodded.

"Why can't we just say I did something bad and proved myself to you?" Hermione asked.

"That would work, other than the fact that your a good person and your friends will never believe it. If you wanted to prove yourself to us, you'd have to do something in front of people." Maya said.

"Like what?" Hermione asked.

"Prank a teacher, or another student, especially a Gryffindor, they're always fun to make fun of." Bella said as she sat up and pulled her hair out of the bun.

"Can I fake prank a Gryffindor, Ron more specifically. I'm sure he wouldn't mind going for a fake prank." Hermione said.

"Iv got a idea. Your going to..." Maya whispered the rest of the plan in her ear quietly. Hermione sighed but stood up and prepared herself for the day. Did she really have to prank Gryffindor just to be able to sit with the girls at the great table? She walked out into the common room. Draco was sitting at the couch and tried to avoid her gaze. Their eyes met once for a moment but a moment was a moment too much. She quickly walked out of the room into the stairways. She walked to the Gryffindor common room. She knew the password, well, because it was the same as ever. She made sure it was empty before using magic to summon a group of silver and green snakes. She knew Harry and Ron despised snakes more than she did. She walked to the breakfast table and sat in-between the girls.

"Did you do it?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, about forty snakes in the Gryffindor common room and more in the dorms." Hermione mumbled.

"What did the Mudblood do?" A guy sitting across from them asked.

"She pranked the Gryffindors." Bella said in the annoying usual voice that Slytherin was known for. Bella's normal voice was much more kind.

"With what?" Another guy asked.

"You'll see." Maya said happily. Hermione didn't really want reputation with the Slytherins, she just didn't want to be made fun of. She looked down the table to the one person she knew wouldn't make fun of her only to find him already looking at her. She smiled and looked back at the table. She grabbed a piece of toast and some bacon. A girl screamed.

"There's snakes in the Gryffindor common room!" She yelled. All the Gryffindors stood up and looked at the Slytherins. Hermione met Ron and Harry's gaze. Guilt struck her face immediately. They sighed and sat back down. A few of the other Gryffindors sat down while the rest went to deal with the snakes.

"Snakes?" A few guys in front and to the sides of them asked. "Resect, alright Granger, your good." Hermione smirked and gave a slight nod then looked at Draco again. He was playing with the yolk of his egg. She stood up and walked over to him. She grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the great hall. They stood in the hall.

"What do you want Granger?!" He asked angrily.

"Oh don't pretend to be a jerk! We both know your not! I don't want anything, I just would like to know what's wrong with you." She told him.

"Your in with the Slytherins! Great! Now can I go back to the table and eat breakfast?" He asked she shook her head.

"No, you tell me what's actually wrong Draco."

"Stop calling me Draco! Its Malfoy to you! Its always been Malfoy!" He yelled.

"You called me by my first name last night-Last night! That's what this is about! Your upset over the kiss?" She yelled.

"Not so loud Granger!" He said. He raised his head to see if anyone was there, he immediately walked away. Hermione turned not only to see every student in the school but all the teachers too. Ron and Harry stood at the front. Ron could be mistaken as a tomato with how red he was. Hermione turned and ran off. She. Just. Told. The. Entire. School. That. She. Kissed. A. Malfoy. The words came into her head as parts. She sat in the back of the library in the corner. Nobody would think to look for her even here. It was a part of the library she never went to. She sighed and started crying into her bent knees.
