The Middle

It was a nice afternoon at the Burrow. Hermione and Harry were over for the summer.

Seventh year just ended, but the summer had just started, and they were looking for a nice, relaxing two months of no school. The jobs that some of them had didn't start until September, and those that were going to muggle university (Hermione) still had a long time to relax.

Ginny and Harry were outside practicing Quidditch. Fred and Ron we're playing Wizard Chess. George was cleaning out his and Fred's room. Harry was reading a Quidditch Through the Ages for the fifteenth hundredth time. Bill was out with Fluer, and Charlie was in Romania. Mrs. Weasley was cooking, and Mr. Weasley was doing some "urgent business gotta go bye". And Hermione, she was just chillin' with Crookshanks on a couch, reading some textbook (hey, university started in a few months, why not be ready now?), when suddenly...

Ding!

Hermione glanced at her phone a few feet away. Someone had texted her.

Sighing, she got up, knocking down a very irritated Crookshanks, and picked it up.

1 message from Unknown.

Hm. Hermione thought, Better check it out. Maybe Luna got a new phone or something...

[MEANWHILE]

"Ugh, I'm soo bored. Something happen already!" Pansy groaned. She, Theo, Draco, Daphne, and Blaise were at Malfoy Manor, and absolutely nothing was happening. The most entertaining thing was the sound of breathing coming from the people sprawled across the large leather couch. Theo suddenly sat up, a mischievous grin on his face.

"What?" Everyone asked in unison, looking at Theo.

"Let's. Do. A. LYRICS PRANK!!" he squealed excitedly. Pansy grinned and high-fived Theo.

"A saying worthy of me. Come on, people!"

Everyone cheered.

"Okay, who has a phone that isn't dead?" Daphne asked. Only Draco raised his hand. "What? Only me? Siriusly people." He groaned. Everyone peered over his shoulder. "Okay, on my contacts I have you guys, obviously, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, Granger..."

"Granger?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Uhhh, yeah?"

"Let's prank her!" Pansy squealed excitedly. "I've got the perfect song!"

"Umm, I'm not sure..."

"Come on, mate, it'll be fun!" Blaise said, slapping Draco's back, followed by a chorus of "Yeah!"s. Draco gave in.

"Fine. What song?"

Pansy squealed again and whispered it in Draco's ear. He concealed a smile as he turned on his phone...

[BACK AT THE BURROW]

Hermione tapped on her messages app.

Unknown:
Take a seat over there, sat on the stairs,

Hermione:
What? Who is this? Luna, is this you?

Unknown:
Stay or leave, the cabinets are bare and I'm unaware

Hermione:
Stay. And, umm, need some crackers? I can spare a few...

Unknown:
Of how did we get into this mess, got so aggressive, I know we meant all good intentions.

Hermione:
Uhhh, if you're talking about the Urumpent horn, I'm terribly sorry, but that wasn't a Crumple-Horned Snorkack's.

Unknown:
So pull me closer, why don't you pull me close?

Hermione:
...

Unknown:
Why don't you come on over?

Hermione:
Are you sure your Dad's not going to get mad at us?

Unknown:
I can't just let you go.

Hermione:
What???

Unknown:
Oh baby,

Hermione:
OH MY GODRIC THIS ISN'T LUNA

Unknown:
Why don't you just meet me in the middle?

Hermione:
Pardon me strange person that isn't Luna?

Unknown:
I'm losing my mind just a little

Hermione:
Well, that part's obvious...wait, is this voice type on? WHAT turn it off TURN IT OFF AHHH

At this, Draco spit out his fire whiskey.

"What what what?" Theo jumped on his back, and Draco let out a small "oof"

Unknown:
So why don't you just meet me in the middle?

Hermione: umm, didn't you say that already?

Unknown: In the middle

Hermione:
Uhh, do you have amnesia? Because you keep repeating yourself

Unknown:
Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle, oh yeah

Hermione:
Umumumumum

Unknown:
I'm losing my mind, just a little

Hermione:
Yeah, I think you have amnesia. We need to get you to St. Mungo's! Unless you're not a wizard/witch?

Unknown:
So why don't you just meet me in the middle? In the middle, oohh

Hermione:
What's with the "oohh"? Do you finally get that you have amnesia? Because I think you do. But you're not very bright, are you?

Unknown:
Take a step, back for a minute

Hermione:
Yay! You realised you were repeating yourself! It was getting annoying quickly. Um, so where do you want me to step?

Unknown:
Into the kitchen,

Hermione:
Mm'kay. Now what?

Unknown:
Floors are wet,

Hermione:
For your information, the floors are perfectly dry in the kitchen. We haven't mopped it since last week. So there's no way it can get wet. Unless Crookshanks knocks over his water dish. Again.

Unknown:
Taps are still running, dishes are broken,

Hermione:
Mrs. Weasley is very careful! And you can easily fix dishes with a spe- oops, I can't talk about this. Unless you're a wizard/witch? Tell me!

Unknown:
How did we get into this mess, got so aggressive, I know we meant all good intentions,

Hermione:
A Urumpent horn exploded at your house too???

Unknown:
So pull me closer, why don't you pull me close?

Hermione:
Uhh, it sounds like you're trying to have, ya know, with someone.

Unknown:
Why don't you come on over, I can't just let you go, oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle, I'm losing my mind just a little, so why don't you just meet me in the middle, in the middle,

Hermione:
Gosh that was long. But you're still repeating yourself.

Unknown:
Looking at you, I can't lie

Hermione:
YES!! You remembered! Or just read the other messages. Whichever one you did.

Unknown:
Just pouring out admission, regardless of my objection,

Hermione:
May I remind you you (probably) don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are? Actually, come to think of it, can you tell me your name?

Unknown:
Oh,

Hermione:
Huh. That's a strange name.

Unknown:
It's not about my pride,

Hermione:
What?

Unknown:
I need you on my skin,

Hermione:
Uhm, you are THIS close to me blocking you. *Holds up fingers with a very small space in between* (emphasis on VERY SMALL)

Unknown:
Sorry. Well, this is a good time to stop anyway. The end is just a bunch of words I already typed.
'The Middle", by Grey, Maren Morris, and Zedd.

Hermione:
What?! This was all a lyrics prank? AND I BELIEVED IT?!?!

Unknown:
Uhm, yeah. The brightest witch of her age fell for a lyrics prank. Anyway, I see the Danger level is pretty high. Till next time, Granger.

[Unknown has left the app]

Hermione puts her phone down. She is slightly stunned. She, Hermione Granger, Brightest Witch of her Age, War Hero, Frizzy Haired Bookworm, tell for a lyrics prank? She wondered who was on the other end...

Draco smiled as he exited the app. All his other friends were cheering.

"I wonder what her face looked like!" Theo squealed.

"The brightest witch of her age, falling for a lyrics prank by the one and only Draco Malfoy? Ha! Priceless!" Pansy laughed.

But Draco wasn't happy because if that. It was because he got to share his true feelings. But no one knew; it was all covered by some lyrics. And he loved it.
