(A/N: This drabble was written for dmhgchallenge on livejournal. The prompt was "A Beginning.")
Hermione was irritated. His attitude wasn't helping any.
"You're an arse."
He smiled. "I know."
She stared at him. "And yet I should trust you?"
"You already have by meeting me here," he laughed.
Hermione's eyes flashed as her temper bubbled up. Marching over, she slapped him, hard. Draco glared at her furiously and shoved her against the wall, kissing her forcefully.
And as her body surrendered to his kiss, a remote part of Hermione's brain observed that maybe house unity would be possible, after all. Or maybe it was them that was possible.
Either way, it was a start.
