"Are you ok? You are a little jumpy since we left the train." Ron asked. "Did anything happen to you in the Head Boy and Girl compartment?"
"Yea. When the train stopped I went flying and… I…hit my head on the wall." Hermione lied to Ron. "But I am ok."
"Let me guess Malfoy was laughing his head off, right. He didn't even help you I bet." Harry said to Ron and Hermione in a whisper.
Hermione just nodded and walked on. She was to caught up in what happened back on the train. She thought it was strange that he caught her and held her for what felt like forever. She admitted it to herself; She liked being held like that. It felt good for someone, anyone to hold her like Malfoy did. Even though it was Malfoy she still liked the feeling of being "that close".
Hermione sat on the side of the Gyffindor table that faced the Slytherin's. After a few minutes of listening to Harry and Ron' s conversation, Hermione skimmed the Slytherin table for Malfoy. He was half way down the table, more towards the Great Hall Entrance. Hermione stared at him for the longest of times. Then all of a sudden Malfoy looked up at her. Hermione as quick as possible looked at her plate. It was to late, Malfoy had already seen her. Hermione glared up at Malfoy, who was still looking at her. A smile grew on Malfoy's face. Hermione couldn't help, but smile back at him.
"Whom are you smiling at?" Harry asked looking around to see Malfoy looking back at him. The smile had faded into a smirk. "Were you smiling at Malfoy!"
"No way, I wasn't looking at Malfoy! Are you that thick!" Hermione answered Harry's question in a harsh manner.
Neither Hermione nor Malfoy looked at each other for the rest of their dinner.
Hermione headed toward new dormitory all alone. Harry and Ron went to their Gryffindor dormitories and Hermione went to the Head Boy and Girl dormitory. When she got the portrait of a woman with a dog she said the password. "Devils Snare"
When she entered the common room she noticed that the couches and chairs were black. The color of the rug was a dark green and the curtains were a dark red. There were three doors. One said Hermione Granger, another said Draco Malfoy, and the last door said Bathroom. As she looked around she notice someone sitting on the couch reading a page of the Daily Prophet. The boy placed down the magazine and looked up at Hermione. She waved her hand to Malfoy and went into her room. There was a beautiful four-poster bed in the middle of a large room. The room was painted red and gold for the Gryffindor colors. She sat on her bed and looked around. Then she stared at the door, wondering what Malfoy was doing on the other side.
After a long time of wondering she decided to go see for herself. She opened up the door and walked out. Malfoy wasn't on the couch anymore nor was he in there at all. She then realized that he was in his room. Knowing this Hermione went back in her room and got undressed. The put her night clothes on and layed in bed.
Draco got out of the shower and dressed. He walked into the common room just in time to see the back of Hermione's robes go in her room. Draco went into his room and layed in bed. He was thinking of Hermione till he fell asleep an hour later.
