A/N: Hey everyone! Hope you guys liked the last oneshot. I know I don't update twice on the same day, but here it is. There's a reason for that, and I'll probably tell you in the next oneshot or maybe in the one after that. Read the A/N at the end to find out when the next oneshot will be out. On with the chapter! 

Also, the credit for the idea of this oneshot goes to @dunleejane. Thanks for that! 

It was Draco's turn to watch her today. 

Which also happened to be her birthday. 

So, you see, Draco didn't know what was worse. Walking with her and ignoring the fact that it was her birthday, or avoiding her for the rest of the day. 

Maybe for a week even, if it were upto him. 

But he had made a promise. And he had no intention of breaking it any soon. 

He was reading a book when he rudely interrupted by Blaise, who threw a pillow at his face. Before Draco could understand what was happening, Blaise threw a book at him, which landed on top of his head.

The next moment, Blaise took out his wand, and threw the spell Petrificus Totalus on him, which Draco barely managed to dodge. 

"What the hell is wrong with you, Zabini?" Draco shouted as he put up a shield charm between them. 

"You are asking me what's wrong?" Blaise exclaimed. "Why did you have to go and tell Pansy that I liked her?" 

"Ohh... I mean..." Draco sheepishly looked at him. He hadn't thought that Pansy might tell Blaise when he had told her about his friend's crush on her. 

"What's more, you told her that I had told Montague to stay away from her." Blaise shook his head.

"I mean, you did threaten that poor bloke." Draco said. 

"Threatened? I didn't threaten him, idiot. I just told him that if he even took a step towards her and made her uncomfortable, I would hex him into oblivion." Blaise scowled at him. 

Draco crossed his arms in front of him and glared at his best friend. "I can't deal with this right now. I need to go." 

Blaise slowly nodded as he understood what he was saying. "Going to meet Granger, are you? Should I tell her that you punched McLaggen when he was talking about her the other day. You know, just to return the favor." 

Draco removed the shield charm and took a step towards him. "Don't you dare to do that. Besides, you know that McLaggen is a disgusting person. I just did her a favor." 

"Whatever helps you to sleep at night, Malfoy." Blaise smirked at him. "Wish her a happy birthday from me, will you?" 

Draco scowled at him and exited their dormitory. 

--------

He found her sitting on the stairs. 

Taking a deep breath, he slowly walked down the stairs and stood behind her. Hermione froze when she felt someone's presence behind her. 

Quickly turning around, she narrowed her eyes at him. "M-Malfoy? What are you doing here?" 

"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that question, Granger?" He asked her as he saw tear streaks on her cheeks. 

"I came here first, Malfoy. Now excuse me, I need to go." She tried to walk past me, but he grabbed her hand. 

"In case you have forgotten, it is our chance to do the rounds today." He told her, giving her his handkerchief.
