Title: The Best Laid Plans Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger Rating: G Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Warnings: None. Summary: On Halloween, Hermione gets a curious clue. Notes: Hope I met your request. ;D
The Manor was eerily quiet as Hermione stepped inside.

“Malfoy? Are you here?”
Another noise to her left made her turn quickly towards the sound. “This is not funny.”

Hermione swirled around, her heartbeat quickening as the sound echoed all around her. Subconsciously, she circled her fingers around her wand.

George stepped forward. “A tad bit, yeah.” He helped Draco to his feet. “Maybe next time you can try proposing to her before trying to scare her.”
Draco rubbed his sore bottom. “Where’s the fun in that?”
