I do not own Harry Potter, All Credit goes to JK Rowling for her amazing series that I don't think I could live without.

Hermione watched Draco enter the common room and head to his room without saying a word to her. "Even after war, nothing changes, Figures." She huffed and picked her book up to continuing reading it. It wasn't too much longer when she felt a presence standing behind the couch she was seated in. "What book is this?" She heard and nearly jumped out of her knickers not because Draco had just scared the pants off of her but because of how curiously nice his voice sounded.

"What do you care Malfoy?" She snapped at him moving to the other side of the couch. Hermione stared at him as he walked to the couch across from her looking at the fireplace the entire way. "Just wondering, no need to be rude Granger." He sneered as he never took his glance off the fireplace.

Hermione simply shook her head and returned her attention to her book once more. "So what are you reading?" Draco asked again. Hermione sighed and showed him the cover while saying, "Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck." Then she returned once more to her book.

"That sounds pretty boring." He said pretending to snore as he finished his sentence. Hermione looked over at him catching him pretending to be asleep and busted out laughing. "What?" Draco asked his eyes widening. This just made her laugh even more confusing Draco more and more.

It took her twenty minutes to finally calm down and when she did she had to wipe tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry... You just looked so, funny" Hermione said straightening herself up. Draco eyed her and chuckled slightly. "Glad to be of amusement" He said standing and stretching in front of the fire. "Why are you being so nice?" Hermione asked standing as well so she could face him properly.

Draco turned and looked at her, who was incredibly close to him now. "I just thought… since the war was over, there was no need to fight. I know that won't take back my actions for the past six years but I am sorry. Truce?" He asked holding out his hand. Hermione stared into his eyes, those blue-gray eyes of his and then too his hand he held out at her.

"How do I know you're lying or not?" Hermione said testily. She looked back up at his face studying his features. Draco sighed putting his hand back down. "You know I am truly sorry and this isn't a trick I promise." He said backing away from her. Hermione continued to stare at him before she went, grabbed her book, and walked up to her room.

Draco merely sighed following her pursuit and going to his own room to go to sleep.

Hermione woke early the next morning, grabbed her robes and headed straight to the bathroom. It didn't look like Draco was awake yet so she locked the bathroom door behind her and started the bath. She was excited to be using the Head's bath this year, she had always learned about how great the bath was. Hermione undressed taking a quick look at her matured body before walking literally into the Olympus sized bath.

Hermione had to have been in the bath for more than twenty-five minutes before she heard a knock at the bathroom's door. "Be done in a couple minutes." She yelled and climbed out of the bath grabbing a towel. She wrapped herself up in the towel, took a second to contemplate changing in the bathroom or her room then gathered all her clothes and went to the door. Taking a breath knowing Draco would be standing right outside the door, then opened it up and walked out to see him standing there mouth agape.

"Hey Malfoy, close your mouth, it's not polite." Hermione said walking past him to her room grinning from ear to ear turning back just once to see the stunned Draco finally regain his senses and quickly walk into the bathroom. Victoriously, Hermione walked into her room, changed then left the common room completely before Draco was finished with his bath.

Hermione walked quickly to breakfast so she could speak to Ginny before their first class. "Ginny!" She said asked she reached the Gryffindor table. She sat down and quickly filled Ginny in with the details of last night and this morning. Ginny listened carefully and smiled at the end. "Well, that's something." She said finally after a couple minutes of silence.

"Well, what do I do about him?" Hermione asked poking Ginny in the ribs. Ginny laughed before speaking. "Truce! I mean if he says he changed and is willing to do a truce, I say take it girl!" Ginny said smiling at Hermione.

Hermione looked at Ginny before remembering that Ginny said before they got here that she needed to 'live' this year. "Alright, I will." She said smiling and looking at her plate before grabbing some muffins and bacon.

Ginny grinned at Hermione before poking her in the ribs. "OUCH! Yes?" Hermione said choking on her muffin. "I made a truce with Blaise Zabini earlier, he is actually quite cute." Ginny said ginning. Hermione laughed at her as she watched Ginny glance at the Slytherin table where Blaise was sitting with now Draco Malfoy who appeared out of nowhere. "Hey when did he get here?" Hermione asked surprised, she thought he would have taken longer than that in the bath.

"Quite a few minutes ago Mione." Ginny said laughing then continued to say "He is quite sexy on his own as well." Hermione nudged her in the side before laughing with her. "Alright I'm ready to go to class now see you later Gin." She said standing up, grabbing her bag, shoving one last piece of bacon in her mouth and then took her leave.

Draco watched as Hermione left then looked at Blaise. "Dude follow her, it's obvious you like her." Blaise said laughing. Draco stood up and grabbed his bag. "I do not!" He said and then hurried off to catch up with Hermione.

Hermione was heading quickly to Potions since it was in the dungeons and was trying not to hit kids in her way. Draco finally caught up with her but only trailed about ten feet behind her so she wouldn't think he was stalking her or nothing of the sort. Draco wasn't paying much attention other than swaying of Hermione's hair and ran right into a wall falling backwards to the ground.

"OW" He yelled grabbing Hermione's attention. She turned around quickly probably thinking to see a first year hurt but instead got a very clumsy Draco Malfoy. "What just happened?" She said walking over to him and offering her hand to help him up. He accepted it and pulled himself up with her help. "Oh I, Uh, Wasn't paying attention, and well that wall just walked into front of me and knocked me to the ground." He said laughing.

Hermione laughed at him then shook his hand "Truce, by the way." She said then walked off to her class. She left him staring at her before he gathered his things and head to Potions as well which they appeared to have together.

Hermione had taken a seat in the very back of the classroom and saw Draco walk in. Then she remembered that Slytherin's and Gryffindor's had Potions together. Draco smiled and walked to her table taking a seat next to her. "So you're okay with having a truce?" He said grinning. Hermione merely nodded then shushed him as the professor starting speaking.

After the lesson was over Draco and Hermione gathered their things and walked out of the classroom together laughing about all the times from the past. "You know, I hit you pretty hard back in third year." Hermione said grinning looking at her fist. Draco nodded remembering that hit. "Yeah it bloody hurt!" He said sticking his tongue out at her like a child.

"Wow Malfoy, that's very mature." Hermione said laughing again as they began heading to their next classes. "Meh, it did though." He said pouting then starting walking towards his next class. "See you later" Draco said as he walked off waving. Hermione smiled as she waved back and then continued to her next class.

For the rest of the day she didn't see Draco but a thousand times in the halls as they past each other hurrying to their classes.
