Draco sagged against the wall as he tried to catch his breath. He had been running away from Granger for the past ten minutes. His muscles were screaming in agony at having been pushed so hard while he was running for his life. He may have the build of a seeker, but running used a hell of a lot more muscles than he was accustomed to. Draco had never run away from a girl before in his entire life, nor had he thought he ever had to.
He looked around himself and sneered. He, Draco Malfoy, was in a broom cupboard, hiding from the Gryffindor Princess.
He waited until he heard the students all emptying their classrooms, making their way to their next class, and he slowly opened the door peeking out. He saw that the cost was clear, and he ran into the nearest group of students, blending in amongst the crowd.

"Look who made it back in one piece" Blaise said with a smirk on his face.
"Kiss my ass" Draco snapped.
"I'm assuming you got away from Granger then since you're here and she's not chasing after you? Nice show in Potions, by the way. It was very amusing. Never thought I would see the day when Draco Malfoy would run away from a girl" Blaise said.
"This isn't exactly a normal situation" Draco stated.
"You're right. In what world would Granger want anything to do with you" Blaise said shoving Draco.
"In what world would I want her to want anything to do with me" Draco said shoving Blaise back.
"How did you end up getting away from her?" Blaise asked curiously.
"I ran like hell. And then hid in a broom cupboard" Draco stated.
"You hid in a broom cupboard?" Blaise asked with a smirk.
"I didn't have another option" Draco snapped.
"Too bad we don't have any more classes with the Gryffindor's" Blaise said aloud.
"You're loving every minute of this aren't you?" Draco scoffed.
"Of course I am" Blaise said honestly. "It's making this final year at school a hell of a lot more interesting."
"At my expense" Draco said grumpily.
"Oh cheer up mate, it's not that bad" Blaise stated.
"Whatever" Draco said dismissing the subject. "Let's get through the rest of the day without running into the Mudblood okay?"
"Sure thing" Blaise said with a smirk.

The rest of the day had been pretty uneventful for Draco, something he was thankful for. He had avoided seeing Hermione all day, except for lunch, where he had made sure to ignore her presence completely.
He was now heading to the Great Hall for dinner, with Blaise at his side.
Before he knew it, there was another presence beside him.
"Hi Draco" Hermione said from beside him.
Draco jumped and said "Granger! Where the hell did you come from?"
"I was following behind you" Hermione said smiling.
"And you felt the need to come and walk with me why?" Draco asked skeptically.
"Because I want to see you" Hermione said brightly.
"Well you can see me while being fifty feet away from me and admire me from afar" Draco said sharply.
"Why would I do that when I can be near you?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Because I don't want you anywhere near me" Draco snapped.
"Why not?" Hermione asked sadly.
"Because I don't like you" Draco stated.
Hermione's eyes brightened. "So you love me?"
Draco rose his eyebrows in annoyance "Where the hell did you get that idea?"
"Well you said you didn't like me, so you must love me" Hermione said smiling.
"Granger, did this love potion make you completely delusional?" Draco asked incredulously.
"What love potion?" Hermione asked confused.
Draco smacked his hand to his head in frustration. "What the hell can I do to make you stay away from me?" Draco asked.
"Nothing" Hermione stated honestly.
"There has to be something!" Draco exclaimed. "Aren't you worried about you stupid friends? They're probably not happy that you haven't been paying attention to them."
"They're fine. They understand" Hermione said.
Draco looked around trying to find a way out, when he saw Pansy hanging out with a group of seventh year girls that were watching them intently.
"Granger, you need to leave me alone" Draco stated.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Because I'm dating someone already" Draco stated.
Hermione narrowed her eyes and said "Who?"
Draco looked over at Pansy and beckoned her over.
Pansy came over and stood beside Draco and purred "Yes Draco?"
"Parkinson is your girlfriend?" Hermione asked incredulously.
Pansy looked at Hermione, eyes wide and then she looked at Draco confused, but kept quiet.
"Yes Mudblood, Pansy is my girlfriend. Who did you expect? Pansy is a Pureblood and in Slytherin with me. We usually keep dating amongst ourselves" Draco said putting his arm around Pansy's shoulder for show.
Hermione did something that no one expected. She clenched her fist and punched Draco right in the face.
After she punched him Hermione looked down at her fist in shock. She looked back up at Draco, who was now glaring maliciously at her and she said "Oh my god Draco I'm so sorry I didn't mean to!"
Blaise was looking at Hermione in awe. That girl had a wicked swing, and if she wasn't Hermione Granger who had just punched his best friend, then he would have congratulated her on it.
"Leave now Mudblood" Draco hissed angrily.
Hermione looked at him apologetically, before turning away from him and walking to the Great Hall alone to go and meet up with her friends.
As soon as Hermione was out of sight, Draco took his arm off from around Pansy.
"She fucking hit me" Draco hissed.
"Pretty sure we already know that mate, we were here" Blaise stated.
Draco just glared at Blaise.
"What was that about Draco?" Pansy asked.
"She wouldn't leave me alone so I had to find a way to get her off of my back. Don't think anything of it, this doesn't change anything" Draco stated.
"You're an asshole" Pansy snapped.
"Yeah, well get used to it" Draco stated.
"Hey, you guys need to cool it. Draco you just told Granger that the two of you are dating, you can't be out here biting each other's heads off if you want her to believe it. You need to act like you guys are a couple that way it's believable" Blaise said.
Draco let out a sigh of frustration.
"It's your fault I'm in this mess" Draco stated angrily looking at Pansy.
"I already know that Draco and I apologized already!" Pansy exclaimed.
"Well you apologizing hasn't helped the situation at all has it" Draco snapped.
"Drake.." Blaise said.
"Yeah, yeah I know. We have to act like a happy couple I get it" Draco snapped taking Pansy's hand.
Pansy was momentarily shocked, but smiled. Draco may be angry with her, but at least she now had an excuse to stay around him more. Pansy liked Draco, which was evident to everybody. And she had done everything she could to try and make him look at her the same way as she looked at him. Even if Draco was just using her for the time being, at least she had time to try and work on him and get him to see how good she was for him. Draco was not an appreciative person, nor did he like depending on other people, he was too proud and independent. But as it was, right now he had to depend on her in order to keep Granger away from him and he knew it.
Draco took off towards the Great Hall for dinner, holding Pansy's hand, with Blaise at his side.

News had spread fast about Hermione punching Draco, and Hermione kept getting pats on the back and people looking at her in admiration as she was sitting in the Great Hall waiting for Harry and Ron to arrive.
When they did arrive, Ron had the biggest smile on his face. When he slid in next to her, he wrapped his arm around her and said "And here she is, the talk of the hour"
Harry sat down across from them and smirked.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Everyone is talking about how you socked Malfoy in the face" Ron said proudly.
"Oh" Hermione said putting her face down.
"Hermione! Don't hide your face, that was bloody brilliant! I wish I was there to see the whole thing! From what I heard you gave it to him good! Even better than in 3rd year!" Ron exclaimed happily.
"It's not funny Ron" Hermione said quietly.
"Hell yes it is! I wish I could have seen the look on his face" Ron stated smiling.
"He was mad" Hermione said softly.
"I'm sure he deserved whatever you gave him" Harry said putting his hand on hers.
Hermione gave Harry a small smile.
"So why did you hit him anyways?" Harry asked curiously.
Hermione's face darkened "Because he's dating Parkinson and decided to flaunt how she's a Pureblood and in Slytherin in my face. I don't know why I did it Harry! I just got so mad! And then he put his arm around her and it just made me even more mad!"
"It's okay Hermione, calm down I understand" Harry said softly.
"Love sucks" Hermione stated.
"Don't worry, me and Ron are going to help you" Harry said looking pointedly at Ron.
"Yeah Hermione, before you know it you'll be fine" Ron said
"I'll be fine when Parkinson and Draco break up" Hermione hissed.
"We know Hermione, we know" Harry said taking her hand and rubbing it soothingly.
"You guys are the best friends anyone could ask for" Hermione said smiling.
