Summary: Hermione got the idea to sit by the lake in the moonlight, just to think in peace. When Draco joins her, the two do more than just talk. Two shot or Three shot.

A/N: I'm so sorry!! I've been working on the next chapters of The Deepest Desire and A Broken Heart, but this just came into my head and wouldn't leave. So now I'm posting this!! And I do intend to post the 6th chapter of The Deepest Desire soon!! But in the meantime…here's this two or three shot. Please review!!

It was another sleepless night for Hermione. She gave up studying in the Common Room earlier than usual to try and sleep, and she'd been tossing and turning ever since. There were too many thoughts on her mind. And for once, none consisted of schoolwork or Head duties.

Seventh year was upon her, and Hermione had already suffered through a lot. Most recently, the Horcrux hunt and the final battle with Voldemort that took place on Christmas Eve. Luckily for them, Harry killed Voldemort and fulfilled the prophecy, so in the end and the Light Side won. But in the midst of all that, Hermione's parents had been killed in a raid. She missed them terribly, and each time she tried to sleep, she was haunted with memories of the night she lost them.

Hermione sighed as she opened her eyes. Trying to sleep was going nowhere. Instead she sat up on her bed, and looked out the window to look at the Hogwarts grounds. They looked so inviting with the moonlight just shining down. She smiled and thought about going for a walk in the moonlight. The possibilities of that were so appealing. 'I'm going to go. It's not like they can expel me, right? The worst that could happen is either Filch catching me, or the portrait to my dorm not letting me in afterwards.' She mused to herself for awhile, before coming to a decision. 'Yeah, I'm gonna risk it.'

She got up and inspected herself in the mirror. Hermione wore a pair of old shorts, and a tight fitting tank top, with her slightly tousled toffee curls hanging down to the middle of her back. For a nightly stroll she looked fine; but all the same she didn't want anyone to see her. As she headed out the door, she grabbed a zip up hoodie and a hair tie off her dresser just in case.

Hermione walked out of the portrait hole pretending not to see the incredulous look that the on her portrait gave her, and continued on her way down the grounds.

The lake looked so serene and peaceful when she got outside. Hermione went towards the edge and walked in up to her ankles. The water was chilly, but not as bad as she imagined it was. Soon, it got a bit too cold for her taste and she went up on a small hill overlooking the lake and sat on a log that was there. Suddenly, Hermione heard a rustling of footsteps behind her and she quickly turned around to see who it was.

It was Malfoy. As soon as her saw her, he smirked.

"What are you doing out here, Granger? Thinking about how pathetic your life is?"

"No actually, I'm not. I'm thinking about how purebloods like you need to deflate their egos and get over themselves." She retorted.

"Oh yeah, well—" Hermione cut him off and narrowed her eyes. "I'm really not in the mood for this Malfoy." She spat. "Will you just leave?" The Malfoy trademark smirk never left his face. "No. I can, but I don't take orders from you, so I think I'll just stay here."

He turned around and began to walk, but much to Hermione's dismay, he didn't walk away from her, he walked to the other side of the log and sat down beside her. This surprised Hermione, but she grudgingly scooted over to make more room.

They sat there in silence for awhile, just looking at the silvery moon above the tips of the trees in the Forest. No insults or comments were exchanged. For that time, they weren't enemies, nor were they friends. They were just…there, together.

A/N: Ok, this is sorta random, but I like it anyway. There's more to come…if you review. So please read and review!!! Reviews are my life!! J/k But they do mean a me!!! So, --clicks the review button-- REVIEW!!
