Hermione awoke the next morning to see Draco was still asleep. She rolled her eyes and climbed out of bed. She went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. The water was warm and comforting to Hermione. When she had showered she wrapped a red towel tightly around herself and picked up her pajamas. Draco was still asleep as Hermione pulled out her school clothes. She finally decided it was safe to get changed as Draco let out a snore. Hermione pulled on her pants and black trousers. She slipped on a white bra and turned to the bed to pick up her shirt. To her horror she saw Draco lying with his eyes open.

"What the hell do you think you're doing" said Hermione as she slipped on her shirt.

"Watching you" said Draco slyly. Hermione put on a confused look as she picked up her hairbrush.

"Why exactly are you watching me" said Hermione turning to the mirror. "Because" said Draco. He swore.

"What" said Hermione turning round.

"I'm going to be late for breakfast" said Draco running into the bathroom this caused Hermione to laugh.

"Twat" said Hermione picking up her bag and swinging it onto her shoulder.

The Gryffindor was almost full as Hermione entered. She spotted Ginny, Harry and Ron. She went over to them and sat down. "Hey Hermione" said Ginny smiling at her.

"Hi" said Hermione. She noticed both Harry and Ginny each had one hand under the table and this was the hands next to each other.

"How was the head's common room and Malfoy" asked Ron, he said Malfoy's name like it was dirt.

"Common room's good but I have to now share a bed with the ferret himself" said Hermione.

"Oh Hermione that's just plain mean" said Harry.

"Tell me about it but Dumbledore says it's for our own good" said Hermione.

"Anything that involves Malfoy can never be for someone's own good" said Ron.

After breakfast the four of them headed off to Double Potions.

"This is possibly the worst start to our year" said Harry as they stood outside the classroom door.

"Possibly" said Hermione who at that moment was looking at a group of Slytherins (Draco was in the group).

"Hello earth to Hermione" said Ginny clicking her fingers in Hermione's face. Hermione snapped out of what seemed like a trance.

"Yeah sorry I was just…" said Hermione turning round.

"Just what?" asked Ron. Before they could dig deeper into the matter the classroom door opened and Slughorn appeared.

The day was uneventful unless you count Neville burning his cauldron again. This did cause a couple of trips to the Hospital Wing. Harry included after getting a nasty burn from blue liquid flying out of Neville's cauldron. Hermione could have sworn she saw a Slytherin walk by Neville's cauldron a minute before it exploded.

Hermione entered the common room at ten o'clock after finishing her rounds. She went up the bedroom to see Draco lying in the bed. Hermione changed quickly and turned to the mirror.

"So Malfoy" said Hermione as she began brushing her hair.

"So Granger" said Draco.

"What were you going to say to me this morning" asked Hermione lying down beside him. Draco stared into her brown eyes and she stared into his deep grey ones.

"Because you looked tanned" said Draco lying through his teeth.

"Whatever" said Hermione rolling over. She lay with a smile on her face thinking that Draco maybe had been lying. But Hermione didn't now that she had got the exact right answer.

Hermione awoke the next morning to find Draco was gone. The bathroom was empty so Hermione asumed he had gone to breakfast.

When Hermione had showered and was ready she went into the common room. Some would say that what she saw made her angry and jealous but some would say that she expected it. Draco was standing kissing Pansy Parkison. Hermione watched past them but deliberately bumped into Draco. They stopped kissing and Hermione turned round.

"Oh I'm sorry was that me, my bad" said Hermione with a slight smile.

"Get a life mudblood" said Pansy.

"I think you'll find I have one unlike you" said Hermione going out the common room.

The great hall wasn't busy considering it was quite early but Hermione spotted Ginny sitting by herself so she went and sat beside her.

"Hey" said Hermione. Ginny looked quite depressed and she was pushing bits of bacon around her plate limply with her fork.

"Hey" said Ginny.

"What's wrong" asked Hermione taking some toast.

"I caught Harry kissing Cho last night" said Ginny.

"I thought it was going well with you two" said Hermione taking a bite of toast.

"So did I" said Ginny. There was silence for a minute then Ginny said "Hermione do you like Malfoy".

"No why do you ask" said Hermione.

"Honestly" said Ginny looking Hermione in the eye.

"Well maybe I like him" said Hermione!!
