AN: here is the next instalment of 'A Sticky Situation'

Chapter 4

Hermione's POV

"Congratulations Miss Granger you are-"

"-oh my god" Hermione sobbed cutting Madame Pomfrey off

"I'm pregnant aren't I?" she exclaimed

"No Miss Granger, quite the opposite actually"

"You mean I'm not pregnant!" Hermione exclaimed given Madame Pomfrey a huge hug. "Thankyou Madame Pomfrey" she had a large grin on her face that almost reached ear to ear.

"Not a problem dearie" Madame Pomfrey replied as Hermione made her way out of the infirmary.

I think a nice walk will help me to clear my head of this week's events Hermione thought to herself heading outside. Today I have become one of the luckiest people in the world, and I have learnt my lesson to never ever get drunk ever again or to have sex either nope not until I am happily married. God I can only just imagine what would have happened if I was pregnant, Malfoy probably would have paid me a large sum of money to keep my mouth shut and never mention him fathering my child to anyone. That or a death threat, even though he did make that promise I doubt he would of lived up to it.

She was heading towards the black lake she had her book bag and thought the scenery would be the perfect atmosphere for her to finish an essay about magical creatures and their habitats. Especially since she had chosen 'amphibious creatures' as here topic. Her good mood faltered as she reached the lake to find Malfoy slumped against a tree his head in his hands.

"Malfoy!" she pronounced trying to get his attention

Draco's POV

God her comes Granger, and she sounds so cheerful too, what I'd do to end her great mood. We are put in this situation and she doesn't even sound worried wish shed just leave me alone thank merlin I am no longer horny and the Malfoy pride has come back to me, goodness if only my father found out about my actions towards her not only would he kill me but I am sure he would make it as slow and painful as possible.

"What do you want" Draco replied looking up at her and standing to his feet.

"I just thought you'd like to know that Madame Pomfrey has kindly informed me that I am not pregnant!" she answered oh-so cheerfully"

"Ha, and you thought I'd want to know because? As if I care mudblood go find someone who's interested" he sneered in response. Only seconds later was that sneer wiped off of his face as her hand made contact with his left cheek the sound echoing around them.

"How dare you call me that, you bastard!"

Draco towered over her a look of pure hatred covering his features.

"AND HOW DARE YOU SLAP ME!" he grabbed her wrists and spun her so her back was pressed against the tree he had been sitting against. "YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN, MUDBLOOD, AND THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE GRUESOME" He spat at her before dropping her arms and storming off towards the castle.

Hermione's POV

She was too shocked to care what he had just said to her, he had never treated her so lowly before and she was expecting his reaction too be more thankful. The worst part about this whole scenario was that they had a prefects meeting to run in just under twenty minutes as well as rounds together and not to mention the fact that the shared a common room. She just hoped his mood would cool off before the meeting so that she didn't have to be the one dealing with his foul mood.

Draco's POV

He didn't care that he had a meeting in 10 minutes all he cared about was releasing his frustration. He stormed into the Slytherin common room and went straight towards Pansy, dragging her with him to a more private location.

Minutes later anyone standing within a 200m radius if that room would have heard Draco's loud grunts and Pansy's squeals of ecstasy as the two shagged each other senseless.

He was late he hadn't meant to of spent so long with pansy but now he was rushing to the meeting room as fast as he could while also trying to fix his tie and rearrange his messy hair. He had just reached the door as it opened and Granger collided into him, he had to grab her before she fell to the ground. He promptly let go of her as realised what he had done. She didn't seem to notice he had saved her from falling as she seemed to be seething of anger.

"You're late" she spat

"I'm amazed you noticed"

"10 points from Slytherin, now hurry up and get your filthy self inside" she exclaimed as she shoved him in through the door.

With his entrance the meeting commenced, he didn't really pay much attention as Hermione did all the talking, he just nodded and grunted in reply whenever a question was asked and need a group response. Hermione ended the meeting and the two were left to discuss their head duties. Neither of the brought up their previous confrontation near the black lake and the both headed to the great hall for dinner. They were both quite hungry as they had missed lunch and Hermione was eager to talk with Ginny about her visit to Madame Pomfrey.

Hermione's POV

"Err, Hermione?" Ron asked

"Yes, Ronald?" Hermione answered back knowing exactly what he was going to say.

"Sorry about what happened at lunch, I suppose I was just being a git really"

"That's okay Ron, I wasn't in a very good mood any way so it wasn't entirely your fault, your apology is accepted" she replied with a smile. She loved it when Ron admitted he had been mean to her he was funny to watch when he let go of his pride. Her thoughts were interrupted as Ginny started talking to her about girly things like make-up etcetera and all her worries were forgotten as she was enveloped with the love of her three best friends. That was until Ginny mentioned Hermione's 'situation' and asked if she knew her 'verdict' yet.
