Chapter One
The Golden Trio were a month into their sixth year at Hogwarts. Harry had fallen behind a veil of mild depression since losing sirius. This depression was fueled by his jealousy of Ginny dating Dean. Ron was dating Lavender Brown which meant Hermione was once again distracting herself with books in the Library. She hated being a third wheel and Harry just brought up her own feelings of jealousy around Ron.
Books piled high around her, the librarian walked by "We are closing up in ten minutes, Miss Granger. You know the drill."She stated with a smile which Hermione returned. She swished her wand at the three towers of books in front of her which started to dismantle and fly around the library, returning to their places. The three books open in front of her she continued to read.
Time flew by before she was once again tapped on the shoulder. She grabbed her books and turned around to see "Malfoy, what do you want?" she asked angrily. He smirked "It looks as if you and I are both stuck in here." He sneered at her. She whipped her head around to look at the clock. 'How did thirty minutes pass by so quickly!' she thought to groaned outwardly and plonked herself down on an armchair by the door.
Draco waltz over to sit opposite her. "What do you think you're doing?" Hermione asked in a huff. He merely smiled "I thought, since we are both going to be here, we might as well enjoy eachothers company. No point in sitting alone all night" he said slouching in his chair, plonking his tote next to it in a heap.
Hermione rolled her eyes and grabbed one of her books she had been reading to pass the time. An hour passed and Hermione's stomach started to grumble. Much to her embarrassment, it continued on and off for the next ten minutes before Draco handed her a sandwich from his bag. "Aren't you hungry. Why would you give it to me? What have you done to it" She asked pointedly. Draco rolled his eyes "Your stomach is giving me a headache and as much as i would love to poison you granger, being locked in here with you complaining about me cursing you wouldn't do well for my headache. Besides i ate before i came here so i'll be fine." He sat back down and opened his notes from Herbology.
Hermione, started to nibble at the sandwich quietly. She looked over to see his notes from afar about the properties of harlow flowers and saw his brow furrow. "I could help you if you like?" she said quietly. "I'm fine thanks" he grumbled "Clearly, especially since your notes on when to plant the Harlow seed for the best harvest is a complete mix up with that of a harotten shrub. Your notes are giving me a headache, plus you gave me a sandwich, think of it as a pay back." She said before grabbing his notes and taking them over to the closest table.
Draco groaned. This was going to be a long night.
Hermione woke up and groaned at the pain in her neck. She opened her eyes to see her drooling on a very soft pillow. Suddenly, the pillow moved. Hermione sat up quickly, realising her pillow was none other than Draco's shoulder. The sun peaked through the window when she heard the doors to the library unlock. She shook draco, quietly covering his mouth.
"Quickly, hide!" she whispered before dragging him and her bag behind a bookshelf. Draco gulped unintentionally at the closeness of Hermione's face to his. They slowly made their way, towards the door, avoiding the Librarian's usual morning work area.
Once they were out in the corridor, Hermione sighed and pushed her hair behind her ear. Draco smirked "I hope you enjoyed yourself, Granger. Do i make a good pillow?" He teased. She rolled her eyes. "Thank you for the sandwich." She said "Thank you for the Harlow notes. Let's keep this between us, aye Granger. Don't want anyone getting any ideas." he said quietly before turning on his heel and heading towards the slytherin dorms. Hermione smiled awkwardly. 'So there was a nice side to Malfoy' she thought before shaking her head and returning to her own dorm.
