-------Summery--------
The war is over and harry has quit being an auror to teach DADA at Hogwarts. Hermione was recently divorced from Ron Weasley. She is still hurting from the horrible marriage and decides to go back to her beloved school and help McGonagall with her classes before she retired and stay close to her friend harry. Draco and harry had defeated voldimort together and slowly became friends. Draco had always loved hermione sense he could remember but never had the chance to tell her because of Ron. Now was his chance he also quit being an auror and started teaching potions because Snape was killed in battle. (Yay!) So what will happen this year?

-------Another year at Hogwarts--------------
"Harry we are twenty nine and on the train back to Hogwarts, what's wrong with this picture?" asked a disgruntled hermione.
"Well for one I'm old, and two we're going back to school." Replied harry with grin. "But man I missed the old halls of Hogwarts."
"Yea I know what you mean. I just wish it was the three if us still." Said hermione her voice cracking at 'the three of us'. A single tear ran down her check, and Harry pulled her into a tight hug.
"It's ok hermione I should have told you how he gets when he drinks from the moment you started dating. I'm just upset that it ended like this, but you made the right choice." He said patting down her bushy brow hair. She sniffled and smiled.
"Thanks harry. You're a good friend. Now we should change into our robes we'll be there soon." She said leaving the compartment. Harry shook his head, 'its been twelve years and she still says that on the train!'
Hermione was walking along the walkway of the train when she found a compartment that appeared to be empty she opened the door and gasped at what she saw.
"Shut the door you!" yelled the shirtless blonde man.
"I'm soooooo sorry I didn't think any one was in here and..." started hermione.
"Granger? Is that you?" he said.
"Malfoy?"
"Well what do you know little granger still can't get enough of me!" he said with a smirk.
"Malfoy, so you know I never liked you and never will! You and harry may be friends but you can never fool me! And you look like your fifty so why would I be tempted?" she said with satisfaction.
"Well fine then, but I would like to get dressed." He said with a pang of hurt in his voice. Hermione blushed and nodded. She left the compartment and finally found one that was empty she changed and wondered about how harry and Draco had become friends...
-----Flash back--------
"Potter duck!" yelled malfoy as he shot a stupifying spell over Harry's head.
"Thanks... MALFOY BEHIND YOU!" harry shouted as a green light shot out behind Draco as he just barely missed the spell. Hermione and Ron were in the main room fighting off three or four death eaters as harry and Draco fought voldimort. Harry had been knocked out buy the pain in his scare when they met up with voldimort so draco had to face voldimort alone until Ron and hermione joined in. harry regained consciousness in time to perform the final spell with draco. Soon after the war was over harry and Draco had put aside their differences and became friends, not close friends but not complete enemies...
--------End of flashback------
The train started to slow down and hermione found harry.
"Harry, did you know malfoy was here?" she asked.
"Draco's here?!" he said with a grin wiping on his face.
"Yea I bumped into him I wile ago." She said with a frown.
"Why do you look upset? I thought you liked him, somewhat..." he said going into deep thought. Hermione started laughing. The train stopped and hermione and harry got off the train and headed to the sorting ceremony.
During the ceremony, hermione and harry chatted about all the familiar last names and wondered how their parents were doing after all those years.
'Boot, terry jr.' was in Hufflepuff and some of the old Gryffindor's children made it into Gryffindor as well. When 'Zabini, Mia' was sorted into slytherin hermione and harry herd loud clapping coming from the left of them. Hermione looked over and saw Draco with a large smile on his face clapping and waving at Mia. Hermione smiled to her self, 'maybe he has changed over the years he seems really nice now, and look at him, I mean wo... NO don't think that, its malfoy! Not a complete jack ass but he still called you a mudblood for almost seven hole years!' she mentally slapped her self many times trying to get the thoughts about draco out of her head. Harry was watching her go threw many different facial expressions as she did this and started to laugh.
"What?" she asked him as he almost fell out of his seat.
"Your 'laugh' face was 'snort' twitching!" he said still laughing. Hermione blushed and slapped him playfully.
Dumbledore rose from his seat and began the usual speech. "This year I would also like to introduce three new professors! Professor Potter is teaching the defense against the dark arts classes, professor Malfoy is teaching potions, and last but certainly not least is madam granger who will be helping professor McGonagall this year before she retires." He said then continued after the great hall quieted down.
After the feast hermione was heading towards the Gryffindor portrait of the fat lady with harry when she remember that she was to go see Dumbledore that night.
"Harry I'm sorry but I had totally forgotten about a meeting I had to attend with Dumbledore tonight!" she said and ran down the halls towards Dumbledore's office. She was walking along when she hit something like a really hard brick wall. "Owww..."she groaned as she stood back up.
"Sorry about that I wasn't watching... oh its you granger. What are you doing any way?" he asked brushing him self off.
"Well Draco I'm going to see albus. And I suggest that you call me by my first name its more respectable." She said brushing her hair out of her eyes.
"Fine then, hermione. So tell me why isn't it Mrs. Weasley?" he asked with a look of, believe it or not, concern. Hermione felt her temperature rising.
"It should not be of any concern to you." She said coldly, and walked off.
'How dare he! He shouldn't ask things like that to me! I cant stand Ronald any longer and I cant stand malfoy any longer ether!' she continued down the hall in great thought, thinking of what did go wrong in her marriage...
----Flashback-------
"Hermione get your ass down here!" yelled Ron.
"What is it hun?" she yelled down stairs to her husband.
"Were is my dinner?! I specifically wanted it done when I got home!"
"I thought it would be nice to go out for dinner tonight. I was thinking of a nice restaurant that just opened down the road."
"Do you think I'm made of money? I can't pay for our dinner at a nice new restaurant. I wanted homemade fried chicken any way!" he yelled. Hermione descended the stairs and gave a frightened smile.
"But Ron I was looking forward to something nicer, something I wouldn't have to fix. I would like to have a break now and then you know." She said. Ron grabbed her wrist, and slapped her.
"You don't deserve to have a break!" he screamed. She could still smell the alcohol that lingered on his breath...
----End of flashback-----
A single tear ran down her check as she remembered the horrible encounters with, which she liked to call the bad side of evil. She wiped away the tear and walked into Dumbledore's office.
"Ah hermione I'm glad you remembered. I'm almost sure that you are in fact wondering why I called you down here tonight. Well I cannot tell you until the second guest joins us." He said with a twinkle in his eye.
"What other guest?" she asked, confused.
"You'll see..." said Dumbledore with a grin. Hermione sat in a chair waiting and wondering about almost everything. Soon the door opened and in walked (drum role please...) Draco malfoy.
------Draco's pov--------
"Sorry Albus I was helping out some first year Slytherins. What was it you needed to talk to me about?" said draco walking threw the door. He looked towards hermione who sat there frowning. He hated it when she frowned. 'I wish she wouldn't hate me, but I had to go and be a total jerk to her for almost seven years. She'll never forgive me now.' He thought.
"Yes, well, what I have to say involves the two of you. Miss Hermione's room is under construction and I needed to find a room that was large enough for two. The only room that can hold two is the one in the dungeons, with Draco. I was hoping you two could put aside you deference's and become temporary roommates?" said Dumbledore with an almost pleading tone of voice. Hermione gasped. Draco was shocked, now was his chance to show hermione the real him he was exited and scared. What was her reaction going to be? Was she going to make him feel like dirt again? He hoped not, he hoped she would accept and not care much about it...
-----Regular pov---------
Hermione jumped out of her chair. She could not believe what Dumbledore had just asked her to do. Stay with malfoy! She started to feel sick to her stomach.
"Cant I just stay with harry, or someone that's less... malfoy!" she said trying to keep her dinner. She looked at Draco and thought that he looked hurt at that comment. Something inside of her though made her want to except. He didn't seem as bad as he had twelve years ago and he had gotten, dare she say it, cuter.
"I'm ok with it as long as she keeps a respectable distance from me and my things." Said Draco after a wile. Hermione was shocked. Had he just said what she thought he said? 'I think he did!' she thought ' I so pose that if he's okay with it then I can be too.'
"Fine I except, as long as he keeps to the same rules." She said dully. Dumbledore smiled.
"Good then, all is arranged! See you at breakfast!" and with that he waved them both out of his office. Hermione followed in suit with Draco down to the dungeons.
When hermione entered she look around the lavish room. As she looked around she noticed that there were only two doors.
"Um Draco, were do I sleep?" she asked starting to dread the fact that she had excepted this.
"Well there is only one bed room. The bed is quit big, but I feel that I should sleep on the couch." He said starting a fire in lovely stone fireplace.
"Well that's vary noble Draco, but its you room I should be the one to sleep on the couch." She said.
"Well I disagree. Women should not sleep on couches. Besides I feel that you need your beauty sleep." He said smirking.
"Fine then! I will. And if you aren't up ten minutes before breakfast, I'm waking you up!" and she walked in the bedroom and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning hermione woke to the sun shining threw bared windows.
"Stupid dungeons!" she muttered as she walked to the window. "Why bar some one in her any way? Oh yea it's a dungeon." She laughed at her self and did her daily routine. When she was done with everything she walked out to the living room area. Draco was lying on a couch sleeping peacefully. He had one arm under his head and the other held a lesson planer on his chest. His hair was in his face tickling his nose. Hermione could tell because he kept twitching it. She walked over and started to brush his hair out of his face when a hand shot up and grabbed her wrist. She let out a yelp of pain because he was holding the wrist that Ron had grabbed the previous week in Diagon Alley...
---Flashback------
"What the..." shouted hermione as she was pulled into the alleyway.
"Why did you leave me hermione? I loved you!" whispered Ron loudly trying not to be seen.
"You're a disgusting, perverted, drunk!" she yelled hoping harry would hear her. Ron slapped her.
"Don't speak to me like that! I'm your friend." He tried to say 'friend' softly. He touched her check softly and kissed her. She shoved him away and ran for it leaving her wrist bruised and a large hand mark on her check...
---end of flashback------
"What are you doing?" asked Draco. Then he saw her face and it looked like she was in pain. He looked down at her wrist and let go quickly. He noticed the bruises and frowned. "Did I do that?" he asked referring to the bruises. She shook her head.
"No it wasn't you, and just so you know its ten before breakfast." She said. He laughed.
"I guess I should believe you more often then. You were right on time." He smiled and got up to change. After five minutes he came back out fully refreshed and his hair in his eyes again. 'He looks good like that... wait did I just think he looks good! No, no I don't, never will, never will...' she thought as Draco and her left the room to go to breakfast.
---------In the great hall (breakfast)--------
Hermione sat next to harry and began to munch on a muffin when Draco sat next to her.
Draco's pov---
"Hermione can you please pass the butter?" he asked politely. Hermione stared at him wide eyed.
"What? Do I have something in my hair?" hermione smiled mockingly and shook her head.
"No its just you said 'please'!"
"Yea so..." she smiled again and passed the butter.
"Thanks." He said. She smiled again.
"You've changed sense seventh year." She said going back to her muffin. Draco looked down at himself.
"I don't look any different to me..." he said. She laughed and continued eating. 'Good she thinks I've changed and from what I said I think it's a good thing.'
Regular pov---
Draco headed off to his class thinking about hermione nonstop.
Hermione headed off to her class thinking about Draco nonstop.
---Later that day after classes---
Hermione walked into the room she shared with Draco and sat on the couch next to him. She had thought that she could maybe trust him with why she wasn't Mrs. Weasley any more.
"Do you really want to know why I'm not Mrs. Weasel any more?" she asked making sure she said weasel and not his real name. Draco looked at her confused.
"If you really want me to know, I mean I thought it was none of my business." He said looking at her meaningfully. She smiled at him weekly.
"Well if we're going to be roommates then I expect we should know a bit about each other."
"Right... ok then why aren't you Mrs. Weasley?" she told him the hole story and how he had found her the other week in Diagon Alley and everything he did to her and that she was glad she never had any kids with him after the honeymoon. When she had finished her story he looked at her with a shocked and horrified look on his face. She was about to start crying again when she felt her self being squeezed to death.
"Hermione I had no idea! I thought he was better than that... I'm just glad your okay... are you ok?" he let go of her and looked her up and down. What he saw made him feel week at the knees. She had grown in all the right places and had a look of sheer confidence in her appearance, her hair wasn't as bushy as it was when he was in school and she had gotten much taller.
She looked at him puzzled at what he had just said.
"Yea I'm okay." She said still looking at him trying to figure out why he had said those things. Then she smiled 'he has changed... and I like it! It makes me wanna kiss him... badly!'
"Um Draco I'm gonna go to bed now. But the bed is pretty big and I mean were adults now its not like we're going to do any thing so... if you want you can sleep in there tonight sense you have double potions tomorrow. You would need the good night sleep." She said getting up off the couch. He looked up at her and smirked.
"Ok then. But stay away from me and my sexy body. I know its tempting!" he said teasingly. She laughed and slapped him playfully and ran to the bedroom. He followed and tackled her on the bed.
"Good night!" he said and moved to his side of the bed and fell asleep quickly with hermione on the other side of the bed.
