A/N: This is the 50. entry for my Dramione table. I've started it four months ago, and now I'm half done. Just goes to show that I need to get a life. :) Click here to see my Dramione table for 100quills.
Written for the "I Want the Fairy Tale" Valentine's Challenge at dramionedrabble-Day 07 Bridged Jones's Diary. I used the following quotes:
3. I like you very much. Just as you are.
4. Perhaps this is the mysterious Mr. Right I have been waiting my whole life to meet. Maybe not.
Draco walked into Hermione's office unannounced and flopped into the chair in front of her desk. "Granger, I need you to do me a favour."
"Good morning to you too, Malfoy," Hermione replied sarcastically. "How was your weekend? Mine was just absolutely delightful. I went out on a date with this guy I met. Perhaps this is the mysterious Mr. Right I have been waiting my whole life to meet. Maybe not. Still, I had a marvellous time."
"Stop being prissy, Granger. I don't have time for you antics," Draco interrupted. "About that favour…"
"My, my, you’re in a charming mood. Keep it up and I won't be able to resist fulfilling your every wish," Hermione said, grinning.
"Stop gloating. I really need your help," Draco hissed.
"Oh, I know," Hermione chirped. "Hence the gloating."
Draco groaned. "Okay, go ahead. Get it out of your system. And when you're done taking a piss at my expense, I expect you to help me out."
"Where's the fun in making fun of you if you give me permission," Hermione asked. "Just tell me what you want and then get out of my office. I've got work to do."
"So you are going to help me?" Draco asked, sounding hopeful.
"That depends entirely of what you want me to do," Hermione said. "And on what you are willing to do in return."
"Aren't you Gryffindors supposed to be generous and helping the needy out of the goodness of your hearts?"
"Sorry, we're fresh out of generosity." Hermione grinned. "If you want my help, it's going to cost you."
"Fine, Granger. Have it your way. I owe you one," Draco reluctantly agreed.
"So what is it you need help with?" Hermione asked triumphantly.
Draco looked at Hermione wearily. "You have to swear not to tell anybody!"
"Please tell me you didn't kill somebody and need help stashing the body," Hermione mocked. Draco just gave her a pointed look
"Alright, alright," Hermione relented. "I swear I won't tell anybody. Now tell me, so I can get back to work already."
"You see… Draco mumbled.
Hermione suddenly noticed that behind his usual aloof attitude, Draco seemed to be genuinely nervous-even embarrassed. He was shifting around uncomfortably in his chair and he was refusing to make eye contact. Considering that this was the man who had been completely unfazed when she had walked in on him screwing his secretary in the supply closet, Hermione was highly intrigued as to what had Draco blushing like a school girl.
"I went out with the guys last weekend and I may have had a few Firewhiskeys too many," Draco explained.
"So?" Hermione raised her eyebrows. "You do that every weekend."
"Yeah, well…" Draco replied, ruffling his hair agitatedly. "I kind of woke up with a little souvenir… "
"Really?" Hermione asked, looking at Draco expectantly. "Do you want me to guess what it is?"
No." Draco sighed. "I'll show you."
He got up from his chair and walked around the desk to stand in front of Hermione. Then he unbuttoned his fly.
"Malfoy, what exactly are you do-" Hermione asked, but before she could finish her question, Draco had turned around and pushed down his trousers.
"Oh, my!" was Hermione's only response. "How much exactly did you have to drink?"
"Too much. Obviously!" Draco spat. "Now, can you get rid of it? I can't reach it myself."
"Oh, I don't know…" Hermione said, looking at the magical tattoo of the orange Pygme Puff on Draco's right buttock and shaking with laughter. "I like you very much. Just as you are. It looks really cute on you."
