Hermione was now Head Girl of her returned 7th year, along with Head Boy Blaise Zabini. Zabini was not her first choice, but he was dedicated and when he wasn't around other Slytherins or drunk, he was actually a good roommate. He cleaned up after throwing any parties and let Hermione's friends hang out. She actually preferred the Head chambers to the Gryffindor dorms. When you walked in you entered a common room and to the right was a small kitchen, and the Head Boys room, to the left was a bathroom and then next to it the Head Girls room. The kitchen was always stocked, there was a magically changing bookshelf in the common room switching out every week, and thanks to a bathroom schedule there had been no incidents yet. Her life was pretty good at the time. Until one evening-

"Hey Granger—Wanna make out in the bathroom" Blaise stumbled into the common room slurring his words, obviously drunk. Then Malfoy stumbled in that son of a-

"Hello Granger, I am Blaise's caretaker for the evening given his current condition." He smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Blaise moaned and started to sway, until Malfoy caught him shooting her a pointed look as if to say "See I told you so".

"Fine. Don't come in the bathroom at all if you do I will hex you to inexistence. "she warned before heading to the bathroom. Not long after she was soaking in lavender scented bubbles, there was a knock on the door.

"Granger we're coming in; he needs to vomit more than whatever the hell you're doing in there." Draco shout whispered at the door, before barging in causing her to take refuge in the bubbles. Neither of the Slytherins noticed or cared about anything she was doing because Blaise started vomiting into the toilet long and hard. She hid in the bubbles praying for them to leave, until finally he stopped vomiting and rested his head lightly on the seat, closing his eyes. "Mudblood don't you want to come out and play with me?" Malfoy purred.

"Get out of here Malfoy before I curse you until you are nothing but ash, I will also take every bloody pint you Slytherins have." her anger was struggling to release upon him but she controlled herself. He sauntered out the door and it was only Hermione and Blaise. "Now Blaise turn your head I am going to summon some clothes." His irresponsibility was infuriating, but he looked so pitiful lying there his head resting on the edge of a toilet. He complied and she was dressed soon, she guided the poor boy out of the bathroom and all the way to his bedroom, not noticing Malfoy watching her from the couch or following her into Zabini's room, she led him to the bed and tucked him in as if he were a child. Hermione then ran and got some water and an aspirin for him, placing them on his bedside cabinet, then suddenly she did something very un-Hermione like. She smoothed his tiny curls down from their upright position and kissed his forehead. She did all of this without noticing Malfoy standing in the corner of the room his mouth forming a little 'O'. She went to her room and slept almost forgetting Malfoy and his comment.
