Tease

"Hey pass that to me" Ron said, while trying to scarf down three different pies. Parvati Patil threw him a disgusted glance and shoved the plate towards him.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him as she politely picked at her food. She had come back to the common room last night after rigorous studying, only to find Draco sucking at some Slytherin girl's face.

She had scowled him, too busy smirking at her to not pay attention to the girl he was making out with.

Then Hermione had casually unbuttoned her robe, the girl oblivious to her. She had proceeded to blow a small kiss at him.

He had retaliated by making the girl squeal.

'Oooh Draco you're so good. You're so fabulous. I worship the ground you step on'

Much more annoying when you are suffering from a throbbing headache. She groaned, tossing and turning, trying to tune out the shrill squeals and giggles.

For some reason, she couldn't place a Silencio, realizing that it must have been Malfoy's doing.

Hermione Granger always made sure to have the last laugh. She had whispered a lengthening spell on the girl's nails. She made no effort to quieten her laughter as she heard his howls of pain.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron and Harry roared with laughter as Hermione relayed last night's events. Malfoy scowled as he overheard the snippets of their conversation.
He struggled to pull his robes closer together to cover the really, really, really painful scratch marks.

As the Slytherins and Gryffindors gathered outside the Potions dungeon, several of the Gryffindors were cracking up and pointing at Malfoy.

The Slytherins scowled darkly and just huddled together in the shadows as they always did.

Malfoy stepped close to Ron and growled "At least I could get a girl to want to sink her nails into me Weasel"

Ron frowned.

"Since your past girlfriends don't rate your performance very highly"

Hermione started coughing violently, choking on the toffee she had been eating. She turned Ron away from Malfoy, telling him not to pay attention to the ferret's hurtful squeaking.

She turned back and flashed Malfoy a sign of disapproval. I shouldn't have used Ron.

Malfoy sneered and turned back to his friends. Blaise scowled at Hermione patting Ron's back.

"That Weasel's so desperate he's ready to fall over Granger. And she's ready to give in to his poor attempt at flirtation."

They laughed at them.

"Please" Malfoy drawled. "Granger wouldn't recognize flirtation even if it crawled up her ass along with that large stick."

They all sniggered along.

Unbeknownst to him, Hermione had overheard him along with several others. She kept a cool head, straining to not hex Malfoy into oblivion.

She thought quickly and spotted Dean Thomas talking to his friends. She caught his gaze and coyly waved at him.

He raised his eyebrows and then smiled, waved back.

She pulled away from Ron and Harry, walked over to him and whispered a soft hello. They talked about random things, mostly trying to flirt.

She ran a hand teasingly up and down his arm. By now, half of the crowd was looking incredulously at them.

She laughed carefully, trying to put as much lust and femininity into it. She threw back her hair, which she had started smoothing with Sleakeazy's Potion.

Dean leaned over and asked her if she wanted to go to Hogsmeade next weekend. She nodded in agreement and he leaned back in satisfaction.

But she halted him by grabbing his tie and pulling him forward, closing her mouth on his in a deep kiss.

She stepped back, licked her lips and waved goodbye. She turned only to find the entire crowd staring with their jaws dropped open.

Harry stood dazed and Ron muttered incoherently, his face reddening.

She gathered her books and pushed the doors open. "The dungeon's open, let's file in" she said authoritatively.

They all stood still and then hesitantly pushed through. She smiled at Dean and then smirked at the Slytherin boys.

Malfoy's forehead was creased as he attempted to inspect her, searching for some sort of punch line.

She simply placed her hands on her hips, waiting for him to proceed, smiling at his back as he did.

She had always thought that Dean was nice and hoped that her discomfort at kissing him so spontaneously wasn't apparent.

But the looks people threw her all day made her feel much better.

She reached the common room and placed her books down. As she bent down, she heard Malfoy's slow drawl.

"Glad to see that you're flaunting your ass Granger"

She straightened up and turned on him. "Hmm...too bad it has that stick up it, isn't it?" she asked smartly.

He frowned as she walked away, her hips swaying more pronouncedly, yet still subtle. He felt this strange sensation coursing through him.

Am I feeling ---- guilty?
