Sadistic Choice

I wonder what the Mudblood is doing now I said to myself as I stared at the ceiling of my four-poster. Maybe I shouldn't have given her a choice at all. Maybe I should've just kept my Slytherin sex-god mouth shut. Ah well, I got myself into this situation; I'll get myself out. Unfortunately, Goyle decided to drop into our dormitory.

"Hey Draco." God he annoys me.

"What do you want, Goyle?"

"I dunno, I just wanted to see if you were okay." Yeah right.

"Goyle cut the crap."

"I'm serious, me and Crabbe are worrying about you."

"Uh huh..." These dunderheads were worried about me?

"You just look...preoccupied."

"Goyle, it's none of your business what's going on in my life. I'm sure you can't even comprehend the concept of thought."

"You shouldn't be so mean you know; we're only trying to help."

"Then wobble your fat ass back to the Great Hall and leave me the hell alone. I need thinking time."

And with an insulted look, Goyle was gone. But who should show up next but the gorilla himself.

"Crabbe, get out!"

"Draco, you shouldn't torture yourself. It's not good for you."

"If you don't turn yourself around and leave, you big gorilla, I'll murder you."

"Okay, I'm going. But really, we're only trying to help."

I couldn't help myself; I seized the bottle of Sleekeasy's Hair Potion on the nightstand next to my four-poster and thrust it straight at Crabbe's head. It missed him by inches. I accomplished my goal, however; he was gone. I need to go for a walk; get rid of my temper. I left our dormitory and went straight for the blank stonewall leading out of the common room. I knew, of course, exactly where I was heading.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"You guys, I need to go to the library."

"Again Hermione? Why can't you stay here?" Harry was whining; it was quite amusing actually.

"Harry..." I just gave him a look; he knew what it meant.

"All right, all right. See you at dinner?"

"It's a date," I gave Harry a quick peck on the cheek(in front of the entire common room, hehe) and turned for the portrait hole.

Actually, I wasn't really planning to study anything. The library always cleared my head, and I needed a head clearing. I was making my little bushy-haired-Gryffindor way to the library, and I was a corridor away when I ran into none other than Draco Malfoy.

"Oh what a pleasant surprise." His evil smirk was gone; it was now a seductive smile.

"Hello Draco." Two could play the seductive-voice game.

"You know, I had a feeing I'd meet you here."

"Oh you did?"

"Well, it is before dinner. Ten minutes before. Why wouldn't Hermione 'bookworm' Granger be heading to the library?"

"Gee, am I that predictable?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"So...did you want something Draco?"

"Well, not really. But now that you're here, there is something we could...arrange."

"What's that?"

"I know you and Potter have done it before. Don't worry," Draco said, seeing the panic-stricken look on my face, "I have my sources but I won't tell a soul. Anyway," I could tell he was anxious to get the conversation moving.

"I don't feel it's fair, in your decision, that you've had Potter, and not me," I could feel the solution coming on, and it didn't look pretty.

"Are you proposing what I think you're proposing Draco?" I could barely believe my ears, yet I was dying to hear the answer.

"I believe I am. Meet me at the Room of Requirement Friday night, after dinner. I promise we won't be there long."

"You have a way with persuasion Draco. Okay, I'll be there." Even I could hear the purr in my voice.

"Excellent. See you Friday." And with a quick kiss and a wink, he was gone.

I couldn't believe I was doing this. After what Harry and I have been through, I'm preparing to go behind his back for a little Slytherin pleasure. I don't even like Slytherin! I should stand him up, not go to the Room of Requirement I thought to myself as I made my way to the library. But that magnetic force was still coming from Draco, pulling me toward him. The desire for that sexy Slytherin was still there. I was deceiving a love, yet I was fulfilling a craving at the same time. Now even I, Hermione Granger, was confused. And of course, I was no nearer to making up my mind.
