A Malfoy and a Mudblood Chapter 12 - HOTNLulu

Chapter 12

Hermione looked at him suspiciously and nodded.

“We insult each other as much as we can until one of us runs out of names to call the other.”

Hermione raised a single eyebrow. She then told him “Ferret.”

He smiled. “Know-it-all.”

“Jerk.”

“Bookworm.”

“Coward.”

This hurt and he flinched. She softened and said “I don’t mean anything I say in this game, okay?” He smiled at her, nodding to show he’d understood. “Goody-two-shoes.”

“Cockroach.”

She smiles slightly, remembering the only other time she called him that. Apparently he’d gotten a broken nose from that punch. She’d been delighted.

“Bushy-haired walrus.”

Hermione held in a laugh. “Blonde-haired… blonde-haired… blonde-haired…”

Draco smirked. “Lost?”

“Ugh, fine, I admit it.”

“Don’t you want to know my punishment for you?”

“Punishment? What are you talking about?”

“Oh, I might have left out a teensy little detail that whoever wins gets to do whatever they like with the loser.”

“Ughhh!!!” Hermione nearly yelled in frustration. She sighed. “What do you have in store for me then?”

“Oh, nothing much. Just this: do something you would never do. And do it in front of Weasley.”

Hermione thought for a moment. She could use this to her advantage! She nodded and told him “Come with me.”

Hermione went up to the Gryffindor common room, leaving Draco outside the portrait. She found Ron staring into the fire.

“Oh, excuse me, Ronald. I thought we might have some privacy here. I’ll leave.”

“No, no. I’ll leave,” Ron replied.

“No, no, it’s fine. I’ll go to the library.”

Hermione went out and pulled Draco back into the library, followed by a disapproving look from the Fat Lady. She knew Ron too well to assume that he would stay in the common room. She took a mirror out of her pocket, and, sure enough, a flash of red hair appeared behind her before disappearing behind a bookcase.

“He’s here,” I whisper into Draco’s ear.

“Good. Now what are you-”

But before he can finish, Hermione kisses him fully on the lips.
