A Malfoy and A Potter

Chapter 10

_Hermione's POV_

I wake up to Pansy crying.

"Pansy what's wrong?"

She just sniffles and ignores me. I call her a couple more times, but she doesn't seem to hear me. I walk over to her bed and go to tap her when I'm shocked. She put up a shock spell around her bed. I say the counter spell and when it goes down, she notices me. She puts it up again quickly, but I slip in her bed before she gets it completely up. She complains to herself a little before turning to me.

"What do you want Hermione?"

"To know why you are crying."

"Reasons I don't want to talk to you about."
I look at her curiously for a moment giving her puppy dog eyes. This however doesn't work on her today instead she looks at me with such and intensity that I melt and start blabbering.

"Um... well I-if it's um... nothing I can g-go."

I turn but is shocked by the barrier and is thrown by the force of the barrier that I fly into Pansy's arms. I look up at her and smile sheepishly, she smiles for a brief moment then it disappears. For some reason when her smile disappears, I remember the night she saw me and Harry hug. I hadn't talked to her about it yet wand it's been about a month or so. I suddenly feel really guilty that I hadn't cleared things with her. Then again, I'm scared of what will come if I do.

"Hermione you're staring."
I shake my head and get up out of her lap only to be shoved back in her lap.

"I didn't say move."

"But I want to move."

"Well you can't move I forbid it."

I laugh to myself for a second before Pansy sits me back up.

"I thought I wasn't supposed to move?"

"I changed my mind."

I look at her and sigh, I need to clear things with her whatever may come.

"Pansy we need to talk about the other night."

"Hermione, I get it."

"You do?"

"Yeah you like Potter I get it you're not gay and prefer men it's understandable."

"No, that's not it Pansy I don't like Harry."
"Then why were you guys together like that?"
"He was helping me finally get over Ron and that leads me to what I really want to ask."
"'Mione date me."
I look at her shocked for a second. How in the living Merlin did she know what I was going to ask? Without saying anything I nod my head yes and we hug. Later that night I see Draco smiling to himself so, I go to talk to him.

"What are you smiling about Draco?"

"Nothing."

"No, it has to be something"

"Okay it is but I don't know what to make of it yet so."

"Okay, guess what."

"What?"

"Pansy and I are dating now."

So happy to speak Draco hugs me in excitement.

"That's awesome Hermione!"

We talk for a while, I try to get him to tell me what's making him smile but still he refuses to tell me. I give up after a while and goes back to my dorm. When I get up there, I find one bed, on it lies Pansy sleeping. I get into my pajamas and lays next to her, instinctively I guess she rolls over and wraps her arm around me. Together we snooze away into the night.
