Chapter 1
"Hermione, wake up" Harry whispered to Hermione whilst slightly shaking her, she had fallen asleep in the library again.
"Mh, I'm up" Hermione said looking around the library then at her watch, eleven thirty. Merlin she thought to herself, this was the third time she had fallen asleep in the library.
Her boyfriend Ronald usually came to wake her up but Harry would always be waiting in the common room for her, Harry was as loyal as they got.
"Hermione you need to relax more, you're always asleep we miss you" Harry said, Hermione only rolled her eyes at this statement she was just a little extra run down, being Head Girl came with much more responsibilities. "I'll walk you back to your dorm"
"You don't have too, I'm not a little girl" Hermione laughed, but Harry didn’t detest he only persisted more.
"I'm just a gentleman! Your my best-friend now keep walking I'm tired" Harry said pulling her a long behind him as they walked out of the library and towards Hermione’s dorm.
"Go to bed" Hermione said in a sing song voice trying to convince Harry to just go back to the tower, then suddenly Harry came to a stop.
"Did you hear that?" Harry asked gesturing over to a near by broom closet, there was definitely someone inside. "Maybe we should leave them be"
Hermione looked over towards the closet where Harry was pointing and could definitely hear people inside, it was half an hour past curfew.
"I'm head girl, I have to check it out.” Hermione said letting out a frustrated groan
“I'm really not in the mood tonight can you look?" Hermione whined pushing Harry over to the door, he mumbled a response and begrudgingly opened the door.
Harry’s expression changed immediately, the colour from his face drained quickly and he couldn’t seem to put a sentence together.
"Harry who is it?" Hermione asked, you could hear the panic in her tone. “It can’t possibly be that bad.”
"I don't think you want to see this" Harry said backing away from the from the cupboard. His face was still pale and he looked like he was going to kill someone.
"Harry quit over reacting it's probably just a-" Harry was not over reacting, not at all. There in the broom closet was a half naked Lavender Brown and her half naked boyfriend, Ronald Weasley.
"Hermione" Ron said desperately, he looked absolutely ortified. He was caught red handed with Lavender Brown, red fucking dirty handed.
Hermione didn't and couldn't move or speak or do anything, she felt like she had been petrified again. Tears started to form in her eyes, she was absolutely horrified and disgusted and heart broken.
Harry gave Ron and disgusted look and tried to pull Hermione away from the scene, she walked away ignoring Ron’s calls and Harrys yells. She was so thankful that she and the Head Boy had their own common room and dormitories.
The tears that were forming in her eyes had started to flow down her face, her breathing was erratic and she could feel herself falling apart.
"Granger?" The Head Boy asked who was lounging on the couch asked "Shit Granger are you ok?" He added after he saw the state Hermione was in.
"Just don't let anyone in, please.” Hermione asked him desperately feeling absolutely drained.
Draco Malfoy stood in the common room with a shocked look on his face, what the actual fuck just happened. On cue he heard people banging on the common room door, he ignored it and went to bed.
The next morning when Hermione woke up she was so thankful it was a Saturday she did not want to face nor see anyone, she had her own kitchen to cook in so she didn't have to leave the common room.
She checked her watch it was at least twelve possibly later, she hauled her sorry arse out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
She was not going to be able to forgive Ronald anytime soon and did not want to see anyone. She walked downstairs to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, fuck me she thought when she saw Malfoy come over and sit at the kitchen bench.
"Weasley has been here eight times he really wants to talk to you, bastard won't fuck off" Draco said rolling his eyes at his own words. "You know rumours spread fast everyone at breakfast was talking about poor little Granger and her cheating boyfriend"
"Sod off Malfoy I don’t recall asking for your opinion on the matter." Hermione said casually taking a sip of her tea "I honestly don't know how i can go to classes on Monday, I detest being pitied it’s absolutely awful"
"I have an idea" Draco said with a smirk growing on his face, Hermione already didn't like the sound of this.
"An idea? You think you know why I was cheated on? If so do tell the little audience I apparently have is dying to know" Hermione scoffed while walking out of the kitchen.
"No Granger, how you can get Weasley back and go to class on Monday without being the laughing stock of the school" Draco said regaining her attention.
"I'm listening, doesn't mean I'm in on it" Hermione said stepping back into the kitchen sceptically.
"Date me" Draco said like he just told her to fuck off or calling her Granger, like it was natural.
"Date you?" Hermione said trying to contain her laughter. "Date you? As in you Draco Malfoy dating me Hermione Granger, why would I date you?"
"Not actually dating you bint, pretend dating. You know to get back at Weasel, no ones going to feel sorry for you when all they can focus on is the fact you and I are 'dating' " Draco added, Hermione actually considered it for a little bit. Then she realised how smart this plan really was Ron would regret ever hurting her.
"What would you get out of it?" Hermione asked seriously considering taking the blonde up on his peculiar offer.
"What would I?" He asked with that stupid smirk on his face "I'd be the talk of the school, the first Slytherin to get close to Gryffindor's Golden Girl"
Hermione scoffed, was she really that much of a prize to the Slytherin house?
"Fine I'll do it, but we need rules" Hermione said conjuring a piece of parchment and quills "I'm not going to let you ruin my reputation"
"Alright" Draco said, laughing to himself "You need to sit at the Slytherin Table with me some mornings, in return I'll sit with the Gryffin-dorks"
"Ok I can deal with that but as long as no one calls me a Mudblood." Hermione added "We should walk to the great hall together in the morning"
"Agreed, touch you have to be comfortable with me touching you" Draco said running his hand down her spine "You can't flinch it needs to be natural"
"Fine, what about snogging? No one's going to believe any of this is real if someone doesn't see us snog" Hermione said still writing things down on the list
"Agreed, I have to go see Theo and Blaise I'll stir the pot around a bit" Draco said just before he left he gave her a kiss on the check and practically skipped out of the room.
Hermione sat on the couch left speechless, did she just enjoy being kissed by Malfoy? No of course not she was just.
She was just in for a long couple weeks.
