The Bet//DraMione

How could you?...

Hermione's POV

I was on my way back to the heads common room... I just wanted to be with Draco...

I was about to say the password when I heard some yelling...

It sounds like Draco's arguing with someone... and that someone doesn't sound like Blaise...

Wait, is that... Theo?!

Oh, no... what's happening??

I immediately said the password and ran inside...

I saw Draco, Blaise and Theo standing up, Blaise had a sympathetic look while Draco had his head hanging low and Theo was... fuming?..

It looks like they've been arguing...

"Draco.."

He snaps his head towards me and he immediately goes pale...

"Princess... h-how long have you been standing there?" He asks stuttering a little kid

"Not long, I just arrived... I heard some yelling.. and what's Theo doing here?... were you guys arguing or something?" I ask him with my right eyebrow raised

"Oh, um.. Nott just passed by to drop off your book a-and arguing? What no!" He says... I can tell that he's lying...

"Draco... stop lying... I know when you're lying..." I tell him with seriousness in my voice

"Tell her Malfoy..." Theo says in a pissed off tone while he glares at Draco...

"Tell me what Draco?..." I ask him

I can feel the anxiety getting to me...

He had his head hanging low and when he raised it to look at me his eyes were on the verge of tears...

"Draco what is it? What's wrong??" I ask him again this time I'm practically panicking

He just hangs his head low...

"Blaise?... what does he have to tell me?? Tell me now please!" I tell him, while pleading at him to tell me

Draco just looks at Blaise and nodded and continued to hang his head low trying to avoid eye contact with me

"Hermione... listen... it's about yours and Draco's relationship..." he was about to continue but I cut him off asking

"What about our relationship?" I ask him

"Draco?" I look at him... "You're not breaking up with me aren't you?" I ask him, I went closer to him so I'm now cupping his cheeks "Because you know how much I need you right?" I tell him, he doesn't even look at me...

"Hermione listen..." Blaise continues... "so a few weeks back... it was the second week of school and... I was supposed to throw a party for Draco because I thought he'd be miserable when he told me he was sharing a place with you for a whole year... so I felt bad for laughing at him so I threw him a party... then the fight between you and Weasley happened and we were discussing the party that time when I mentioned it and a bet just suddenly popped up in my head..."

I can feel my stomach starting to come up my throat...

"What bet?..." I asked him...

He sighed... "so it started when I was teasing Draco about him losing his charm... and he obviously disagrees saying he still has it... so I made a bet with him that if he could make a girl fall in love with him in a week he wins the galleons... but he didn't let me finish so he quickly agreed... this is where you come in... I was thinking of a hard to get girl and you popped up in my head... I wasn't really expecting him to win... that's why I chose you.. because you were enemies and stuff..." Blaise finishes with a sigh and he hangs his head low...
