Hermione heard her name called out as she stumbled up to the front and let the spell be performed on a extremely fascinated Ella. Malfoy stood next to her holding his breath.
The hall gasped as an 'S' appeared above her head in green.
'WHAT!' Hermione shouted as her eyes widened, her head snapped round to find a smirking Malfoy.
'Like any Malfoy wouldn't be put in Slytherin' Malfoy said casually inspecting his nails. The murmur around the hall had increased and Harry was shooting Hermione sympathetic looks from the Gryffindor table.
'Something must have gone wrong with the spell' Hermione said looking towards McGonagall. 'Try the spell again, there's been a mistake'
'No Mistake Miss Granger' a very smug looking Snape said from behind her.
'But, she's not evil!' She yelled at Malfoy who was smiling proudly at his daughter.
'Not everyone in Slytherin is evil Granger' He drawled as he smiled at Ella.
'Yes they are' She snapped. He stood there in a thinking pose before nodding.
'Yeah you're right. We are all evil'
Hermione still held a slight disgusted look on her face as she sulked her way back down to the Gryffindor table where Ron quickly enveloped her and Ella in a warm hug causing Malfoy to flinch slightly.
'It's not that bad Hermione' Ron tried but received a very sharp glare from a very annoyed Hermione.
'You would say that, you baby ended up in Gryffindor'
'It could be worse' Harry said from across the table.
'How dya work that out?' She snapped.
'Errrr...ummmmm...Hufflepuff?'
'Least she would be wouldn't be evil'
'You're over reacting.' Claire said smiling slightly. 'It's not like it's forever or anything. She'll be gone this time next week and look at her face Hermione. There is no way she could be evil'
Hermione looked down in her large eyes of her daughter and smiled. 'Yeah, well, you won't have to live with Malfoy walking around like he's God because his daughter got put in Slytherin'
After the sorting, Hermione could still hear Pansy sob as she made her way to her living area. She walked in to find Malfoy draped over the sofa with an extremely large smirk plastered to his face.
'Don't you say a word' She snapped as she sat down on the carpet and let Ella crawl around for a while. Malfoy just carried on smirking.
'That is why you and me will never reproduce, because our child would be in Slytherin'
'Oh so you considered procreating with me before the sorting?' Malfoy said as he slumped down next to Hermione.
'No, that's disgusting'
'You know you want me' He said with a charming smile as he kissed her lightly on the cheek.
'Because of you, our child is evil' She said ignoring his advances.
'Nah, she'd never be evil' He said nuzzling her neck softly.
'I know I'm over reacting but I just really hoped she would be put into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw'
'She's too cunning' He said he trailed his lips down Hermione's neck. She wasn't responding, she didn't even register what he was doing.
'Hmm, well we have 30 minutes till we have to head for class. I should really go to the library and do some homework' She said moving to get up but being dragged back down by Malfoy.
'Is homework the only thing you think about?' He said as he ran his hand over her leg.
'Get off Malfoy' She snapped as she got up. 'Can you take care of Ella while I go to the library?'
'Sure, I can tell her how to be a Malfoy and teach her the dark arts' He said smiling at Hermione who scowled at him.
'Don't you dare' She made for the door but suddenly felt a hand wrap around her waist.
'No kiss goodbye?' He said pouting slightly as Hermione turned to face him.
She raised an eyebrow but couldn't help a small smile grace her face as he pouted at her.
'You look like a fish when you do that' She said smiling as she turned and walked out of the room leaving a very offended Malfoy behind her.
'Arrrrrgggghh' Hermione yelled as she tumbled to the floor with a heavy weight on top of her. The heavy weight that was keeping her down got up, she looked up to meet Malfoy's widened eyes as he looked down the corridor wildly. It was inbetween lessons and Hermione was extremely displeased to bump into him at all.
'Get up Granger' He said holding his hand out for her to take. 'Look, Parkinson is after me alright? So I'm doing a runner. Know anywhere I can hide?' Hermione crossed her arms and smirked at him.
'No' Hermione said looking around warily.
'Please?' He said hearing Pansy's footsteps and looking around quickly.
She looked at him unsympathetically but sighed and led him into a room very quickly.
Hermione looked around the room and her eyes widened largely as she noticed a large double bed with silk sheets in the middle of the room.
'What's this place?' Malfoy said looking around impressed.
'The err..room of requirement' She said eyeing the bed uncomfortably.
Malfoy smirked as he noticed what she was looking at. 'The room seems to think we require a double bed'
'Look, lets wait till we know Pansy has passed and then go back out there' Hermione said shifting from foot to foot.
'I think we should make use of this Granger' he said waggling his eyebrows at her as he jumped on the bed. 'This would be a great place to bunk a lesson and do other things...'
Hermione stood in the middle of the room silently holding her books to her chest as she looked around nervously. 'Umm, I'll go check to see if the coast is clear'
'Something tells me you don't wanna be around me' He said tilting his head as he crossed his legs.
'Errr well, you're alright but I errr have got to go' She said turning and walking out of the room, again leaving Malfoy annoyed and confused. He ran after her quickly before she got too far.
'Look, I don't know what's wrong or whether you're riding the crimson wave but you're acting so shitty towards me'
'I'm sorry' She said avoiding his eyes.
'What's really bothering you?' Malfoy asked sincerely.
'Many things'
'What kinda things?'
'You'
'Me?' He asked quietly.
'You keep making me all uncomfortable and stuff' She said honestly.
Malfoy rolled his eyes. 'Fine, I'll stop trying to kiss you' He sighed.
She looked up at him smiling. 'You still want me?'
'Always' he smirked.
'Bad luck, coz you're not having me' She said leaning up and kissing him on the cheek.
'I damn well am' He said kissing her hard on the lips. She was just about to respond when she heard a loud gasp from behind them. She pulled away which caused a moan of protest from Malfoy.
'Why did you do that Granger?'
Hermione was looking behind him with her eyes wide.
He turned around to see what she was looking at. 'Pansy!' He yelped.
Pansy was standing there with both hands over her mouth and she looked like she was about to cry. She shook her head violently and fled.
'Oh crap!' He yelled angrily at Hermione.
'She's going to tell people what she saw isn't she?' She said biting her fingernails.
'Yes' He said hanging his head. 'I better go and try and stop her but if I don't, deny everything Granger! Understand me?' he yelled angrily shaking her shoulder.
'Yes' She said as she watched Malfoy run after Pansy.
'So I heard a rumour' Harry said as Hermione landed herself on the bench at the Gryffindor table.
'A good one?' Hermione asked as she put a potato on her plate, completely oblivious that the Gryffindor table had gone quiet.
'A disturbing one' Harry stated looking closely for Hermione's reaction.
'Care to share?' Hermione said chancing a look over at the Slytherin table where Malfoy sat with a smug look on his face.
'You and Malfoy' Harry said, looking towards Ron who was seething.
'What about me and Malfoy?' Hermione said, still playing dumb.
'Kissing' Harry gulped.
Hermione looked incredulously at Harry and laughed. 'What a pathetic rumour'
'So it's not true then?'
'No!' Hermione said shaking her head with a smile on her face.
'Oh good, so it was just Pansy trying to get some attention'
'Probably' Hermione said in a very laid back voice as she stuffed her mouth. Ron looked a lot happier now but Harry was not letting go so fast.
'I mean, she sounded pretty sincere when she was telling us'
'Pansy's a drama queen'
'Yeah, but she would never make up that Malfoy kissed a muggle born'
'Maybe Malfoy did something terrible to her and she wanted revenge'
'Yeah maybe' Harry said, still not entirely satisfied as he watched Hermione's eye's flick to Malfoy and then back to the table.
Everyone went back to eating silently until a very upset Claire broke the silence.
'I can't believe I have to say goodbye to Josh in 4 days' Claire sulked as she threw her fork across the table at the Slytherins grumpily.
'Ow!' Hermione said a moment later as she felt something metal hit the back of her head. She turned round to see a smiling Blaise staring at her.
'Don't throw your forks at us or we'll throw a knife next time'
'We're sorry' Hermione said rolling her eyes slightly as she turned around to face Claire who was looking highly amused.
'That was your fault'
'Your giving in a bit easy' Claire said as she picked up a bread roll and chucked it at Malfoy who was sitting next to Blaise. He turned around immediately to stare at a grinning Claire.
'Sorry, slipped out of my hand' Claire laughed. 'I'm so clumsy'
Malfoy smirked and raised an eyebrow. He picked up an orange and threw it at Claire. He missed.
'Ow!' Hermione said feeling the orange hit the back of her head. 'You throw like a girl!' She snapped as she rubbed the back of her head. She gave him a glare and threw a spoon. She smiled cheekily before her face turned into a worried glance as a a large metal plate headed in her direction.
'I've never seen such bad behaviour from my students in my life' McGonagall said from next to Snape as they looked down at a very messy Hermione and Malfoy. They both had bits of food all over their robes and in their hair.
'I'm sorry' Hermione mumbled to the floor.
'She started it' Malfoy said with a smirk. Snape nodded with understanding.
'Fine, you're dismissed. Miss Granger will take the punishment' He drawled.
'What!' Hermione yelled and turned to McGonagall for support.
'No, they will both receive detention' McGonagall said quickly.
'But what about Ella??' Hermione cried desperately.
'She'll be taken care of'
Malfoy and Hermione walked out of the office sneaking glances at each other. They both remained silent until they got to their living area. Malfoy shut the door behind Hermione and she let rip.
'You stupid git, that's so jeopardised my chance for being Head Girl next year!'
'I didn't ask you to start throwing stuff at me' he snapped harshly at her.
'I can't believe this, you're such a prize winning jerk! I mean, I have detention...I never get detention. I don't even know what you're made to do in detention. Oh my god, what if they tell my parents I got a detention. This is the panic of the century.'
Malfoy stood there and let her rant for a while before bursting into laughter.
'Granger, when you get detention...you go to it, do it and go to bed. They don't tell your parents or anything'
'You just don't understand' Hermione said distressed as she sat down slowly on the sofa.
'Want me to leave you for a bit and go get Ella of Potter?' He asked gently.
She breathed slowly and looked up at him.
'Stop being nice to me' She said in a very level voice.
'Pardon?' he asked.
'Call me mudblood from now on, ok?' She said getting up and pacing.
'Fine' he said puzzled. 'Mudblood' he said as an afterthought. Before he knew what was happening Hermione was lying on top of him kissing him hungrily. He pulled away as far as possible and smirked.
'What are you doing Granger?'
'Letting out some tension'
'Oh alright' He said leaning up and kissing her again.
'No!' She yelled, getting up and hitting her head with her hand. 'What are you doing Hermione, first a food fight...detention and now your kissing Malfoy'
'You're talking to yourself? You insane or something?' he said curiously from where he was lying on the sofa.
'I just might be!' She said hysterically.
'Calm down Granger' He sighed running his hands through his hair.
'You calm down' She snapped.
'I am calm'
Hermione sighed and collapsed on the sofa.
'This is too weird' She mumbled as she felt Malfoy's hand lay gently on her waist.
'Who really cares though' He smirked as she moved a little so he was sitting next to her.
'I do' She said quietly. 'If anyone ever finds out about this, we're both screwed'
'No one will'
'Pansy did'
'That's Pansy, we both denied it, and people had no reason to think we were lying so that's over'
'You're evil' She said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
'That's what you love about me'
'Oh, don't come under the illusion that I love you Draco Malfoy, I just want you. Simple as that' She said smirking at the shocked expression on his face.
Malfoy smirked and kissed her on the neck softly.
'I better go get Ella'
'Oh why' he whined as she tried to get up but he pulled her back down.
'Because she needs her sleep'
'And I need you' He said grinning as he kissed her hard on the lips.
'Get off' She mumbled as she got up and ran to the door before Malfoy had a chance to stop her.
'3 days to go' Claire said quietly as she sat down at breakfast with Josh. Harry gave her a quick hug before tucking into his food.
'Just think what this has taught us' Hermione said.
'What has it taught us?' Ron said looking curiously over at Hermione.
'Well, now we know what it's like to have a child and it's not all that bad'
'Yeah, but wasn't the whole idea of this meant for us to think again about getting pregnant as a teenager. If anything, I wanna procreate right now' Claire laughed and winked at Harry who went bright red.
'Hmmm, I see what you mean. I thought it would be terrible but I was extremely surprised' Hermione said as she looking over at Ella who was sitting with Malfoy.
Claire smirked as she watched Hermione's face change as it hit Malfoy and Ella. Harry also noticed but tried to ignore it.
Over at the Slytherin table Malfoy was alternating his attention between Ella and Hermione constantly even though it was Blaise trying to talk to him.
'So I said to him, if he uses my broomstick to hit a 1st year again, he will be buying me a new one because, who wants blood on their broomstick?...Malfoy?...Draco? Mate?'
'Yeah' Malfoy said coming out of his daydreaming.
'Did you hear a word I was saying?'
'Err yeah'
'What was I saying then?' He said crossing his arms.
'Muggles are bad?' Malfoy tried.
'No, what's on your mind?' Blaise inquired concerned at his friend. Malfoy looked over at Hermione and then back at Blaise.
'Or should I say who is on your mind' Blaise said staring at the Gryffindor across the room. 'You like her?' Blaise said almost scared of the answer.
'No way! It's just, she's the only girl in this whole damn school that won't fall at my feet and it annoys me' He said kissing Ella on the forehead.
Blaise shook his head and laughed. 'You're an idiot Draco' he said quickly before getting up and crossing the hall to Hermione.
'Hey Granger' He smiled as Hermione turned to look up at Blaise.
'Oh hi Blaise' Hermione said cautiously. She looked past Blaise to see Malfoy looking very curiously over at his friend. 'Is everything ok?'
'I was wondering, that on the next Hogsmeade trip, you would perhaps go with me?' Blaise said with a charming smile.
Hermione stared at him, as did most of the Gryffindor table.
'She won't go with you' Ron snapped getting to his feet. 'You're a Slytherin, you're scum'
'Granger, he just insulted your daughter. Do you want me to hit him?' Blaise said smirking at Ron who was turning red.
'No thanks Blaise, that's alright'
'Whats going on?' Malfoy said coming up behind Blaise.
'Oh I was just asking Granger here out to Hogsmeade with me' Blaise said with a large grin. Malfoy's eyes became dark as anger filled him and he had a sudden urge to punch his friend.
'You going to go with him?' Malfoy said as arrogantly as possible. Hermione looked up at him and saw exactly what he was thinking reflected in his eyes.
'No' Hermione answered simply.
'Good, now you have an answer, why don't we go back to our own table' Malfoy said turning to Blaise. Blaise smirked and turned to head out of the hall. Malfoy handed Ella to Hermione as he ran after Blaise to meet him outside the hall.
'Well, I'm a little put out Granger said no' Blaise said as he felt Malfoy's presence behind him. 'I mean, she would look good on my arm and she's probably fairly easy' Malfoy's fists clenched.
'Blaise' he said simply as Blaise turned to face him. Smack!
'Ow! You son of a bitch' Blaise said as he held his red cheek and Malfoy felt his knuckles sting.
Malfoy stood there fuming as he glared at him.
'I was only joking in there you idiot!' Blaise yelled. 'I wanted to know how you really felt for the little mudblood. And I've just got my answer. I guess Pansy wasn't lying about what she saw in the hall' He gave Malfoy a sad smile and walked off.
Malfoy stood there fuming.
15 minutes later Hermione stalked in to find Malfoy holding a wet cloth to his still hurt hand.
'I heard you hit Blaise'
'Yeah, hurt quite a bit too' He said hissing as he pressed the cloth to his knuckles again.
'I'm flattered that you felt the need to hit your friend for me' She said sarcastically.
'Oh shut up' He tried to sound sincere but it just didn't come through.
'You silly monkey' She smiled as she sat next to Malfoy.
'Dadda' Ella said quietly looking up at her father. He gave his daughter a strained smile.
'So why did you hit him?'
'He asked you out and called you easy'
Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes. Malfoy stared at her intently before smirking.
'You're ignoring all this sexual tension around us' he said smirking.
She raised an eyebrow and shook her head. 'When you go around hitting your friends for a muggle born...don't you think something's wrong?'
'Perhaps, but as long as no one knows, I really don't care'
Hermione laid Ella between them carefully before shaking her head at Malfoy. 'Malfoy, Malfoy, Malfoy'
'Draco' He said simply as he pressed the cloth to his numb knuckles.
'Draco? That's too weird, we'll stick with Malfoy and Granger for now' Hermione said with a smile.
'Actually, I'm going to call you Hermus' Malfoy said nodding confidently.
'Excuse me?' She said looking a tad offended.
'Well, it's personal but also an insult'
'Sound's like complete crap' She sighed.
'Well Herm, is the first part of your name right?'
'Yes, I'm with you so far' Hermione said looking incredulously at him.
'And the us..is the end of fungus, which would be an insult'
'You must get really bored in your lessons to come up with that'
'Oh, I do' He said proudly. 'Hermus'
'How...sweet, does that mean I can call you Dracus?'
'No, you can call me God' He said smugly.
Hermione laughed and gave him a playful slap on the knee. 'You wish'
That evening...
'Then you will mop the floor, I swear if I see a speck of dust, you will be doing it again and again and again'. It was their detention and Snape was giving orders to Hermione but not to Malfoy, who was leaning casually against the wall moving strands of his blond hair out of his eyes.
'Now, I'll be back later. Mr Malfoy, make sure she does it properly' He sneered as he walked out of the room and shut the door.
'I hate him' Hermione snapped as she gazed at the door Snape just exited, in complete anger.
'I would start mopping if I were you' He said jumping up and sitting on the edge of the table.
'You're not going to help?'
'Do I look like the type of person that mops floors?' He said tilting his head.
She huffed as she found the mop and picked it up, a smirk graced her face as she swung it over her head and it connected with Malfoy's side.
'Ow!' he yelled.
'Now, help me mop or I'll hit you again' She said angrily.
Malfoy who was staring down at his side looked up at Hermione and his face twisted into an evil grin.
'You're going to pay for that Granger' He hissed under his breath.
'What are you going to do? Blind me with your hair?' She said rolling her eyes.
'Since when did you become so defiant?' he said getting up and circling her slowly.
'You must rub off on me' She snapped even though inside she was shaking with fear.
'I wish' He said his eyes gazing up and down her body.
Hermione looked at him disgusted before moving around a table so it was between her and Malfoy who was scaring her.
As soon as Malfoy noticed that she was acting like a frightened cat, he let his mood shift a little so he became calmer. He didn't want to lose his temper so quickly, he didn't want to be his father however much he admired him.
'Do you know what it's like to have anything and everything you desired since the day you were born?' he said perching on another table.
'No' Hermione said noticing his mood and relaxing.
'Well, it's a lot harder than you think. If you're led to believe you can have anything you want, you take anything without thinking of the consequences'
'Oh you poor thing' Hermione said sarcastically. 'What's your point?'
'That for the first time in my entire life, I don't have everything I want'
'Again, I'm really feeling sorry for you' Hermione said moving round and sitting on the desk next to Malfoy.
'I want you, but I can't have you. If my father found out, he'd avada me without another thought and my reputation would be ruined'
'Shocking' Hermione said facing him with a slightly bored face 'Now, wanna help me mop?'
He slowly got of the table and stood in front of Hermione who was still sitting on the table. He moved right up close to her and kissed her softly on the lips. He pulled back and rested his forehead on hers.
'When will you let me have you?' He whispered.
'When you help me mop' she said before getting off the desk and picking up the mop.
