The Hoax (Dramione Story)

Hermione straightened her back and cleared her throat. “I just thought . . . we could be careful.” She said and started walking towards the statue with Draco walking behind her. She took out Draco’s wand and whispered, “Dissendium.” The statue opened and she quickly put the wand back.

“I have to admit, that was wicked.” Draco said with amazement.

“I know.” She said and started to climb in when she suddenly heard footsteps and giggling. “Draco, please tell me that’s you.” She froze and stopped breathing.

“Shit! Get in!” She heard a panicked Draco and felt two big hands land on her butt, pushing her in. She screamed as she slid down on the slide. She fell off the slide and landed on the ground, face down. And to make things worse, Draco landed on top of her. She groaned and moaned in pain. “Get off you arse!” She squeaked out. The door closed behind them but they heard two girls squealing and giggling.

“Shit, we’ve been found out.” Draco said as he got up, dusting himself off.

Hermione glared at him and got up with struggle. “You’re so heavy.” She complained and dusted herself off.

“Well, your fault for not moving fast enough.” She said and sighed.

“And also, you didn’t have to touch my butt.” She complained and dusted her butt off. “Ugh.” She frowned and shook her head.

“And again, it’s your fault for not moving fast enough. Let’s get going.” He said and started walking forward. “Nice arse, by the way.” He told her with a smirk.

She felt her jaw drop wide open as her eyes widened. She scoffed and shook her head. “Oh, I will murder you Draco Malfoy!” She yelled, walking toward him.

“No, you won’t.”

“What’s stopping me?”

“You’re in love with me, remember?” He whispered into her ear and bolted for the end, running fast.

“Come back you—you—ugh!” She yelled after him, chasing him in anger.

Harry, Ginny, and Blaise had just finished breakfast when they heard two third years giggling.

“Did you see them? Where do you think they were sneaking off to?” One girl asked her friend, giggling.

“They’re so cute together. Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger—it’s like forbidden love.” The other said, blushing. “Oh, how romantic . . . sneaking off together like that just to be alone.”

The girls squealed of joy and giggled some more.

The trio stopped dead at their tracks and slowly turned to look at the two girls. Ginny crossed her arms across her chest. “Just where exactly did you see the two together?” She asked the two girls who jumped and gasped.
