PADMA
(To Ron) Is that Hermione Granger? With
Draco Malfoy??
RON
No. Absolutely not.
HERMIONE
Hot isn't it? Draco's gone to get drinks.
Care to join us?
RON
No, we'd NOT care to join you and Draco.
HERMIONE
What's got your wand in a knot?
RON
He's a Malfoy. You're fraternising
with the enemy.
HERMIONE
The enemy?? Draco's changed! We're friends!
RON
Hrmph, I think he's got a bit more than
friendship on his mind.
Hermione walks off.
RON
(To Hermione) He's using you.
HERMIONE
How dare you! Besides I can take care
of myself.
RON
Doubt it. He's a Death Eater.
HERMIONE
What? What? That's what you think?
RON
Yeah that is what I think. All Slytherins are disgusting evil Death Eaters! It's gospel!
HERMIONE
You know the solution then don't you.
RON
Go on.
HERMIONE
Next time there's a ball pluck up the
courage and ask me before somebody else
does, and not as a last resort.
RON
Well that's completely off the point, traitor.
Harry...
Harry walks up.
HERMIONE
Where have you been? Nevermind! Off
to bed both of you.
Harry and Ron walk away.
RON
They get scary when they get older.
HERMIONE
Ron, you spoil everything!!
Hermione, crying on the stairs.
DRACO: Hermione, what's wrong?
HERMIONE: Ronald.
DRACO: What did he say?
HERMIONE: He said i was fraternizing with the enemy.
DRACO: Ignore weasel. I'll do something about it. But for now, you need sleep.
HERMIONE: I can barely walk.
Draco picks Hermione up bridal style and carried her to her common room.
HERMIONE: Draco Lucius Malfoy! Put me down!
Fat Lady in Portrait: What did you do to her?
Hermione: Don't worry, I'm alive.
The portrait swung open.
He placed Hermione on her bed.
Draco: 'Night, sleepyhead.
Hermione: Night.
