A Simple Misunderstanding

Part 1

"You two have been together practically every day for over 8 months and he didn't think that that meant you were exclusive?!" Ange asked. 

"That's what I said!" I explained, grateful that they understood. 

"Fucking idiot." Pansy hissed. 

"Anyways, I ended up flashing Blaise and then stormed out and we haven't talked since." I finished and looked up to see both of them staring at me with wide eyes. 

"What do you mean you flashed Blaise?" Pansy asked. 

I rolled my eyes. "It's not like I planned on it!" I defended and they both smirked at me. "Honest! I don't even know what happened. I was just so angry and hurt and I just wanted to get out of there before I cried or killed him but I still had his quidditch jersey on so I took it off to put my shirt on, which I had left in the living room the night before, and I might not have been wearing a bra, because I also left that in the living room and I couldn't find it. Then, Draco started yelling at me to put a shirt on and that Blaise shouldn't see my tits and I got more angry and I told him that it wasn't his business who saw them because we never had the seeing other people talk and then we stood there glaring at each other for a while before I finally put my shirt on and left." I said as fast as I could, a small blush rising on my cheeks. 

Pansy and Ange just stared at me for a moment before they burst out laughing. 

"I fucking love you." Pansy said in between laughs. I grin at them and then suddenly i'm laughing to at the absurdity of it and the fact that I actually stood without anything on in front of Draco's best friend. We all calmed down after a few seconds and I felt my smile fall from my face. 

"I don't know what to do, guys. I think I-- I-" I swallowed a lump in my throat and my eyes starting watering as I looked up at them. 

"We know." Ange cut in with an understanding smile. "It's going to be okay." 

"We can kill him for you if you want." Pansy said with a nonchalant shrug before her eyes looked over my head and her face hardened. "Maybe sooner rather than later." 

I swung my head in the direction she was looking to see Draco, Blaise, and Theo coming out of the hallway that led to the offices. My eyes connected with Draco's for a second before I quickly spun back around to Pans and Ange with panicked eyes. 

"Fuck. What do I do?" I asked in a hurried tone. 

Pansy looked me over with pursed lips before a smirk graced her face. "Lets see what he says. Either he apologizes , and then it's up to you or he says something stupid and you cut his balls off. I do suggest you make him eat his words first though." 

"What the hell does that mean?!" I asked in a panic but Pans just jerked her head as if to say they were behind me. I got up off my seat to stand next to Pansy, Ange came to stand on her other side as the boys stopped in front of us. 

"Hello ladies. Angelina, hows your bachelorette going?" Theo asked with a soft smile. 

Angelina smiled back. "Great. This place is awesome. I can't wait to come back with George." 

"What's wrong Blaise? Is there something on Hermione's top?" Pansy asked, her voice a mock innocence. Blaise's eyes flashed up and his cheeks reddened. Theo rolled his eyes and Ange laughed while Draco's face tightened more and his jaw clenched. 

"What the hell are you wearing, Mia?" Draco growled, his eyes traveling slowly down the length of my body before snapping up to glare at me. I sucked in a breath at the heat coursing through me and squared my shoulders. 

"What does it look like, Malfoy?" I bit back, my own eyes hardening into a glare. 

"It looks like you're wearing bloody lingerie in public." He seethed. 

"10 points to Slytherin." I replied with a smirk and Blaise choked on his drink. Draco's eyes flashed as he stepped closer to me. 

"Put some damn clothes on Granger, you're being ridiculous." 

"Fuck off, Malfoy. I'll wear whatever I bloody want." 

"Like hell you will! No way i'm letting you walk around like this." 

"You don't get a say! I'm not yours, remember? You made that painfully clear." The group goes silent as my words fall and I have to take a step back and away from him. Pansy reaches down and grabs my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. 

"Mia, I didn't mean--" Draco started but was cut off when Ginny, Luna, and Katie came back with a tray of drinks. 

"Hermione! Guess what--"Ginny starts and then stops to take in the group of people. "Huh, weird group." She mumbles before shaking out of it and turning back to me, grabbing my other hand. "Anyways, I met these guys at the bar and they are completely gorgeous and Italian and only in town for the next few days." She says with a grin, looking at me expectantly. 

"Okay?" 

Ginny rolls her eyes. "Merlin do I have to spell it out for you. Hot Italian guys Hermione. In town for a few days. Want to show us a good time. This is perfect to get you out of your dating slump!" I stare at Ginny with wide eyes and she just sighs and gives me a questioning look. "Look, 'Mione. You're sexy, and single and he's sexy and single and Italian. You get some fun, hopefully a good shag or two, and then you both part ways. This is a no brainer. What am I missing here?" 

I felt Pansy pinch my side and when I looked at her she had one brow raised are her eyes were sparking with mischief. Then I remembered what she said to me. 

Make him eat his words. 

This was my chance. I know I couldn't go through with it but I sure as hell could pretend long enough to give that blonde ferret a taste of his own medicine. I turned back to Ginny with a smirk, completely ignoring Draco and the anger I could feel radiating off of him. 

"You're right Ginny. I am single and apparently, no commitment fun is my thing these days. Lead the way." I say and this time Theo is the one who chokes on his drink and Pansy snorts next to me. Ginny squeals like she's won the lottery and starts to pull me towards the bar. 

"Hermione!" Draco calls but I don't turn around, instead I flip him off over my shoulder and continue following Ginny up to two very hot guys. Really, she wasn't lying about their attractiveness. But as the one next to me starts flirting, I couldn't help but think that he was dark and tan where I really want pale and blonde.
