Hermione
I shoved open the door to the library and stormed in.
I slid into a chair and sighed, digging my palms into my eyes.
I lowered my hands and my eyes widened at my hands. They were shaking.
Malfoy cleared his throat and I flinched, lowering my hands. Malfoy slid into the seat across from me and his eyebrows were drawn together in concern, "Granger, are you alright?"
I nodded quickly, my head slowed and immediately I shook my head, "No," I scowled at my hands, which were still shaking, "I was scared of him. Malfoy, I was scared of him!"
I stuffed my hands in my hair and sighed.
"Granger," he spoke carefully, as if he was trying not to scare me away, "I don't know about you, but that doesn't seem like someone I'd want to have feelings for. Or, fake date my childhood enemy to make them jealous."
"No, I know. I know," I shook my head, "Sorry, you don't care about any of this."
I cleared my throat, "Anyways, I figured we might want to discuss guidelines so neither of us goes over the line."
He sighed and nodded, "Yeah, yeah, that's good."
A half an hour later, we'd gotten nowhere.
"You have to wear my scarf when I'm playing quidditch," he grinned.
I rolled my eyes and nodded, "Fine," I grinned, "You can't make fun of Ginny or Harry for as long as this dating thing goes."
He laughed, "That's funny."
I raised my eyebrow at him, "That's my one request. I don't care about anything else."
"What about Weasel?"
I sighed,"I don't care what you call him or do to him honestly."
He raised his eyebrows at me, "So, lets say, if Weasel would've done something to upset you or I don't know, scare you somehow, technically, I would be a terrible boyfriend if I didn't beat him up, would that go under the category of 'I don't care what you call him or do to him honestly'?"
I rolled my eyes, "Sure, Malfoy."
He grinned suddenly and stood, "Alright, it's too late to keep doing this, Granger. You need to sleep."
I raised my eyebrow at him, "Oh I do? Why is that?"
"Because I have an early quidditch match tomorrow against Hufflepuff and you, Miss Gryffindor Princess, need to get up real early to support your amazingly handsome and talented boyfriend," He smirked.
I groaned, "You prick."
"Let's go, love," he held out his hand to me and I took it, laughing.
"That's a new one," I said as he pulled me to my feet.
He grinned, "Always gotta keep you on your toes, right Granger?"

I swung open the door to the dorm Ginny and I shared, tip toeing my way through the dorm, trying not to wake Ginny.
I sighed and threw myself onto my bed.
I shut my eyes and heard a click.
Sitting straight up, I saw Ginny holding the string to the lamp, she was grinning like a lunatic.
"Ginny, wha-" I ran my hand over my face, groaning.
"Can we just talk about how cute and overprotective Malfoy was being?" Ginny squealed.
"Ginny, relax, we're not actually together. It's acting," I rolled my eyes.
"That looked pretty real to me," Ginny sighed.
"Well, that's the point," I argued.
She sighed, throwing off her blanket and jumping over to my bed, her eyes gleaming, "Can't you see it, Hermione! You and Malfoy together. Oh my Merlin you two are so cute together. Both of you stubborn and always flirting by insulting each other. Bloody hell your kids will look so gorgeous!"
My jaw hit my pillow and all I could do was stare at her, "You are bloody insane, Gin. The moment he wins Astoria back, we won't talk to each other anymore other than exchanging insults," I stuck my finger at her, cutting her off, "And it will certainly not be flirting. For Merlin's sake we are not having children!"
She rolled her eyes at me, "Hermione, you said to my dimwit of a brother that you- and I quote- that you 'love him'."
"When will you realize that this is pretend?" I groaned, pulling the covers over myself.
She rolled her eyes, "You know two summers ago when you showed me what netflix was?"
I sighed, "Yes."
"Well... If I were you, I'd watch a couple movies about people that fake date and I think you'll be quite interested in the ending..." Ginny grinned, moving back to her own bed.
I rolled my eyes, "I don't use my account, Ginny, that's why I gave it to you."
She shrugged, "I'm just trying to help."
I used my wand to turn off the light and rolled onto my side, "Alright, we're done talking about this, I have to go to Malfoy's bloody quidditch match tomorrow morning."
I heard a giggle from her bed and chucked a pillow at her, "Shut up you git."
