It was back to normal after the weekend. Monday, classes came again. Again in Potions Ron was given another detention. Much to Lavender's dismay who wanted to discuss wedding plans. On Tuesday the Life Class continued.
"Today we are going to take the time, most of the time, getting to know your partner," McGonagall said. "We've done activities, practised spells but a key to relationships like Professor Dumbledore once said is communication. There's a questionnaire being passed around so please fill in your partners answers, Professor Snape or I will check them but you will keep the forms."
The sofas were back this time, Draco and Hermione looked over the forms.
"Full name?" Draco asked.
"Hermione Jane Granger."
"Draco Lucius Malfoy."
"Birthday, yours is September 1st."
"Yours is October...wait 7th?"
"Yes," Hermione smiled.
"Ok, parents?"
"George and Cleo Granger."
"Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy."
"Siblings?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head. "Me either."
"Career dreams?" Draco asked.
"Auror or in the Ministry somewhere, research something maybe?" Hermione said. "You?"
"Minister of magic, Seeker, something good," Draco smirked.
"Minister?"
"Yes, and you know I could get that job."
"Yea probably could!" Hermione smiled as they continued to fill in the forms. "Biggest fear."
"Failing at something," Draco said. "Loosing someone you love."
"Same," Hermione smiled.
"How many children do you want?" Draco asked.
"2 minimum, preferably 3 or 4."
"Ok, I dunno I didn't like being an only child so I guess at least two and maybe up to 4," Draco replied.
They continued to fill in the forms until it was time to go.
"Isn't Slytherin playing tonight?" Hermione asked.
"Yea against Hufflepuff," Draco said as they walked up to the common room. "Why wanna come support your fiancée?"
Hermione grinned, "Maybe, why don't want me there?"
"No, come," Draco smiled. "Watch me win."
Hermione laughed, "Great it's a date!"
Draco smirked. Hermione blushed as they entered the common room.
"Oh were we meant to wait for the others?" Hermione asked.
Draco shrugged, "I'm going down to the Quidditch Pitch, start training before the match. See you tonight."
"Bye," Hermione said.
She sat down on the sofa with her Transfiguration book open when Ginny, Harry, Ron and Lavender came in.
"Where's Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"Quidditch, there's a match tonight," Hermione said.
"Cool, are you going?" Ginny asked Hermione who nodded.
"Great we're all going," Harry smiled. "Gryffindor plays the winners."
"Oh," Hermione said.
"So does this mean we have to sit with Slytherin?" Lavender asked.
Hermione nodded, "You don't have to if you don't want to."
"No its fine," Lavender smiled as Luna came in. "Hey Luna, where's Blaise?"
"Quidditch," Luna said. "I don't see the point of that sport."
"How can you not see the point?" Ron said.
Then it began, Ron and Harry discussing Quidditch again trying to explain it to Luna.
Ginny and Lavender turned to Hermione.
"So you and Draco huh?" Lavender smirked.
"Yea, what about us?" Hermione asked confused.
"At the beginning of the year you refused to be in the same room as him and now, your going to support him while he plays." Ginny smirked.
"Well I won't go if it bugs you!" Hermione said.
"No we're going," Lavender smirked. "To support your future husband!"
"Your acting like a kid!" Hermione moaned.
"Draco and Hermione sitting in a tree ..." Ginny sang.
"Shut up!" Hermione warned both of them. "I'm going to my room and don't you dare disturb me."
Hermione stormed into her room. Stupid Lavender! I am not falling for him! I don't like him like that! I don't even like him! Stupid ferret! Stupid Lavender and Ginny with their stupid stupid ideas!
Hermione sighed as she lay on the bed with her book. A small black owl came through the open window with a note. Hermione read it:
This training session is boring the life out of me! Feel like joining me?
DM
Hermione smiled as she changed into jeans and a spaghetti strapped top. She put on her shoes and a jacket before heading out of her room.
"Where you going?" Ginny asked.
"Library, I'll meet you at the match," Hermione said.
"Since when do you dress up to go to the library?" Lavender quizzed.
"Because I'm not coming back to change, I don't think I will anyway, see ya," Hermione left the room before they could ask her any more questions. She had replied to the note before she left. There were still a few hours until the match. She walked onto the Quidditch Pitch, the Slytherins were in the air, and being Slytherins they didn't allow the Hufflepuffs in the air with them. She saw Draco on the side yelling at his team to grab the quaffle.
"TAKE FIVE MINUTES!" He said to them and at once they all came down. He walked over to Hermione. "There useless."
"Don't push them too hard, especially before the match, they'll be too tired to play!" Hermione warned.
"Good point," Draco sighed. "Wait here, I'll tell them to go relax for a few hours."
"Ok," Hermione walked over to the benches and sat down. She looked into the skies. It wasn't dark yet, it was only five, the match was at seven, it would be dark by then, Hermione guessed. When did Malfoy start being so nice to me?
Draco returned, "So..."
"So..." Hermione smiled. "You think you'll win?"
"I always win," Draco smirked.
"Cocky as always!"
"Fine, I'll win, I'll get the snitch just for you," Draco smirked.
"We'll see," Hermione grinned.
