A/N: This is my first fanfic and I'm really excited! Please RR I'm really excited about this don't make me lose hope! Nice guilt trip to get you started off ha ha ; )
"Get out of my way you filthy mudblood!" Draco Malfoy drawled as he pushed Hermione Granger out of the way to the portrait of the Head's common room. Behind him, Hermione hit the hallway wall and slid down to the floor with a thud.
"Watch it Malfoy!" she seethed. He cheeks were pink with anger and frustration. She stood up, dusted herself off, and calmed down a bit. " Like it or not I am head girl and somehow you ended up as head boy. You have to learn to respect me for the sake of our Head duties and the state of the students. Please don't call me a mud blood again!"
"yeah yeah save the speech" mumbled Draco. " what's the bloody password?" he yelled after a few minuets of trying to remember it.
"Honestly, it's our second day here and already you've managed to forget the password. Water beetle." said Hermione as the portrait swung open to reveal the Head common room. It was a luxurious room filled with comfortable look armchairs and squishy couches. It was decorated from top to bottom in ravishing green and warm burgundy, with some crisp silver and lively amber thrown in here and there. On one wall was a shelf of books, covering most topics that they would be studying this year, to save them the trip to the library, which was an extremely long climb from where there common room was. Hermione had examined the shelf and the books it held upon her first arrival to this room, and almost immediately decided she would be making many trips to the Library anyway, for there was barely enough reading to last her for a week.
Draco mumbled a thank you to Hermione and walked into the room after her. He threw his bag down noisily and went to their own private mini fridge for a soda. His new house elf had introduced him to soda because he used to work for a family of muggle-borns.
Draco took a long drink from the can and belched loudly.
"Must you be so barbaric?" asked Hermione.
Draco replied with another burp.
Honestly, how can all those girls fawn over him so, thought Hermione he's such a pig. Must get it from his father.
Hermione walked into the bathroom. The Head's house only had one bathroom so she and Draco were forced to share. She informed him on the first day that he was to take showers in the morning and she was to take showers at night to avoid awkward moments. They were supposed to go to directly to their rooms after their showers through the doors connected with their rooms. Hermione was definitely on top of everything this year. She came back down after a minuet.
Draco looked up at Hermione, who had started doing Ancient Runes homework. He realized he had never properly looked at her before. Her hair was no longer short and frizzy, but laid on her shoulders in gentle curls. Her teeth had been straightened and were sparkling white. She hadn't had buckteeth since their 4th year. She was average height and slim. He also noticed two ample bumps under her shirt that he was sure were not there last year. Her hips had widened and waist had slimmed. She had grown into a woman in just those few months in the summer holidays. He decided that if she wasn't Miss-I-know-everything-there-is-to-know-and-im-far-more-better-than-you -Granger and she wasn't a mud blood, she might actually be pretty.
Hermione looked up to find Draco staring. "What are you looking at?" Hermione asked, upset that he had been staring at her, thinking who knows what.
"Not much" said Draco with a smirk.
"Ha ha" Hermione said, quite sarcastically. She was peeved that Draco was being so rude, but a little relieved that he kept his insults to a minimum. She had faced the fact a long time ago that he would never be able to treat her with respect, and this, she guessed, was as close as he would every get. At least he wasn't shooting his foul mouth off like he usually was. Mr.-I'm-so popular-and-great.
Draco sat down on the opposite side of the room on a green couch and propped his feet up on a pillow. He had pulled his school robes off to reveal a baggy pair of muggle jeans, and a very form fitting gray T-shirt.
Hermione looked up at him. Whoa! thought Hermione what happened to him! I seriously don't remember him being this hott last year! Wait a minuet did I just call bouncy ferret butt hott? it was true. Easily seen through Malloy's way-too-small T-shirt was strong broad shoulders and upper arms, as well as a hot, hard six-pack on his abs. He wasn't body-builder big, but just muscular enough to make him look less like the boy she remembered and more like a man.
"Like what you see?" asked Draco when he noticed Hermione practically drooling over him. " You know most girls would die to be in your position right now"
"I would rather another girl be in my position as well, but it didn't happen that way. And as a matter of fact I wasn't staring at you I was staring at the spot behind you. It looks like a tiles come loose in the wall, just there." she pointed.
Draco knew she was lying. His father had trained him well, and now he could tell almost every time when someone wasn't telling the truth. He couldn't help but feel glad that Hermione though he was attractive. Then wondered exactly why he was so glad. Its not like a like her or anything he assured himself its just that if a girl who hates me can think I'm hot, than I've gotta be about the sexiest man alive. He flexed him right arm muscles reassuringly. He finished his soda and threw it at the trashcan.
Hermione was once again wrapped up in her homework, or so it appeared to Draco. But with her head tilted, he couldn't tell that her eyes were glazed and unfocused, as she was thinking about the amazingly attractive Draco Malfoy sitting maybe 15 feet away from him.
Hermione shook herself alert again and looked at her watch. "Damn" she said " we missed dinner." She stood up and headed for the portrait hole.
" Where you going?" asked Draco.
"To the kitchen to get dinner. I don't have any sandwiches left" Hermione's mom had packed her some food to eat on the train ride and a little leftover for whenever she needed a snack. However, Ron's mom packed corned beef for lunch and Hermione had shared. By the time they left the train, Ron had finished all the food and was even so desperate as to lick the inside of the bag her mother had packed them in.
"Wait" said Draco " If your getting food I'm coming with you. I'm starving!"
"Put your robes on then!" said Hermione. Draco had forgotten he was wearing muggle cloths. He put his robes on and they walked out of the common room and soon were standing outside of the picture of all the frit, Hermione tickling the pear. It giggled and the portrait swung aside. Dobby greeted Hermione.
"Hermione!" Dobby practically screamed and came over to hug her leg. He obviously didn't have his authority issue anymore because he didn't harm himself in any way after openly embracing Hermione. "Dobby has missed Hermione! Are you here to give out more cloths, because I'm running short on socks and I love the hats you make!" Hermione noticed Dobby was only wearing 4 hats on his head instead of the usual 12.
" No, I just want some food. I missed dinner."
"Who is this?" asked Dobby, motioning to Malfoy and staring him up and down with wide eyes. " Is he your mate?"
"Dobby!" Hermione squealed as she blushed furiously. Behind her Draco turned a deep purple. " He's just an annoying boy who followed me here because he missed dinner as well. He was too busy admiring himself in the mirror. And they don't call them mates, anymore they call the boyfriends and he is definitely not mine!" Hermione was now panting heavily from trying to say so much at a time.
After some arguing with Dobby, Hermione and Draco were headed back to the common room carrying a different assortment of foods.
Draco sat down by the table in the middle of the room and dumped his food in front of him. It consisted of fried chicken and steak and kidney pie, also with whipped potatoes and lots of thick gravy.
Hermione, realizing they conveniently only had one table, sat on opposite of him. She had a lighter dinner, consisting of cottage cheese, a small dinner salad with fat free Italian dressing, and an orange.
"How come you only got the appetizer?" asked Draco through a mouthful of chicken.
" I'm eating lighter now, I can't be weighed down with all that garbage I used to eat. I can't have a block of cement in my stomach weighing me down because then I feel sluggish and I cant concentrate. Plus this is better for my mind. That garbage you're eating is nothing but fat."
Draco shrugged the last comment off. He wanted to stay built. He didn't have to worry about getting fat. Working out took care of all the extra fat he ate. He needed the extra protein for energy.
"You probably just want to stay thin for your boyfriend Weaslebee" said Draco with a smirk. It was common knowledge that Ron liked Hermione. She thought of him purely platonically though. As she had explained to Harry last year when he realized Ron liked her, Hermione would not jeopardize her friendship with Ron or himself because of a boyish crush. He said Ron would eventually get over her and move on to someone else.
Hermione cleared her plate with a vanishing spell and put it back on the table, deciding she would take it back to the kitchen tomorrow on her way to classes. She stripped off her robes to reveal a pair of very short shorts and a muggle tank top. Draco stared.
"Your barely wearing nothing!" said Draco as he turned to face the wall. Avoiding her barely dressed body.
"Well its really warm under those robes" said Hermione and she bounded up the stairs to the bathroom. "Please don't come in, I'm going to take a shower."
Draco cleared his plate with the same spell Hermione had used and a wave of his wand. He set it on top of Hermione's. He gathered up his schoolbooks and was about to walk upstairs when he suddenly changed his course and walked to the sink in the kitchen-area of the room. He turned the faucet on hot and heard a scream from the bathroom as Hermione caught a jet of cold water.
"MALFOY YOU BASTARD!" she called down from the bathroom.
And now, the fun begins thought Draco as he picked up his school books and walked up the stairs to his room, turning the light off behind him.
A/N ha ha some fun to start you off! I'm posting 2 chapters in one night because this first ones kind of boring. The second ones much better. It's got some more Draco/Hermione action in it but I'm not giving away much more!
