Chapter 3: Try to find a new boyfriend

Before we start the new chapter I want to mention that I don't (and never will!) believe that Hermione and Draco would create feelings for each other so soon after a war where they tried to kill each other, so you all have to wait a few chapters (I don't know what I mean with 'a few') to see some HG/DM action. And Hermione and Draco are at this moment just friends nothing more (but that will come later).

In the Hogwarts castle time flew as it was fun. It was the Friday evening of the week before the Christmas Holliday. And the most of the teachers didn't give any lessons anymore because the students just didn't pay attention. That was the reason Professor McGonagall extended the holidays with one day (today).

Ron and Hermione became friends again. But didn't speak as much to each other than they did before. Even Pansy got friendlier to everyone and Draco Malfoy was officially a friend. Hermione didn't want to go with Ron and Harry to the Burrow for the holidays. She wanted to stay in the castle for two weeks. From Hermione's friends or classmates the most went back home: Harry, Ron and Ginny would go back to the Burrow; while Neville and Dean would stay. The Patil twins and Lavender would go back home. But Malfoy and Pansy were forced by their mothers to stay in the castle. The train had already left very early in the morning and Hermione had went to the station to say goodbye to the leaving students.

Hermione sat in the Common Room Neville sat next to her and Dean sat opposite her, Draco sat in an armchair in front of the fireplace. They all talked each other except pansy who was writing a letter to her family in her dormitory.

Hermione was very tired she almost fell asleep but was too tired to get up and go to bed, so she stayed in the common room leaning with her back to Neville's shoulder and with her head against the sofa while she was listening what the others said.

But then everything went black in front of her eyes.

Hermione woke up in the sofa in the common room with a blanket on her and sleeping on a pillow. When she was completely awake she saw that Neville, Dean, Draco and Pansy were looking at her when she woke up.

"What happened last night, I can't remember anything."

"You fell asleep on my shoulder so we put you to sleep on the sofa." Said Neville.

"And how long did I sleep?"

"Well you fell asleep around eleven o'clock and it's now two in the afternoon."

"WHAT! I slept fifteen hours"

"without waking up once." Added Dean.

"Lunch is already over but we kept some toast if you would get hungry."

Neville handed the toast over to Hermione. After she was finished with the toast she went to her dormitory and took a very very long shower. When she came out of the bathroom she almost walked against Pansy who was trying to unlock the cage where her owl was sitting in with her wand but forgot the right spell.

"Try alohomora."

The door of the cage swung open.

"Thank you."

After that Pansy didn't say a word, like she was forbidden to speak.

The day passed (or what was left of it). Hermione was in the great hall sitting at the table with Dean and Neville (because all the others went home). Dean and Neville saw that Hermione wasn't so happy and even after her fifteen hour sleep she still looked tired.

"What's the problem, you can't deny that you look bad." Dean asked.

"I don't know what the problem is."

"That is a really big lie, you know what the problem is but you just don't want to tell us." Neville said.

"All right, I can't forget Ron so easy."

"Now you're telling the truth."

"What do you think I must do."

"To do what?"

"Forget Ron."

"I don't know I never had a girlfriend."

"Find a new boyfriend." Said Dean.

Dean idea was brilliant she just had to find a new boyfriend so she could forget Ron but she still had a huge problem: Who would it be?

Back in the common room Hermione had a good idea because they were with five in one big tower, maybe they could sleep all together in the common room so they wouldn't feel lonely. And after Hermione convinced everyone, all of them dragged their mattresses down their dormitory to the common room. All nice next to each other in a circle on an empty spot on the floor. Hermione's mattress was next to Pansy's, Pansy's was next to Draco's, Draco's was next to Dean's, Dean's was next to Neville's and Neville was also next to Hermione's.

Around eleven they fell asleep except Hermione she was reading her Hogwarts a history copy and she couldn't stop thinking about Ron even if he broke up with her four month ago. She had to find a boyfriend and fast.

Hermione was the first to wake up, but when she looked at the others it was a really funny sight. It seems that Pansy had taken Draco's pillow while she was sleeping, Draco had fall of his mattress and slept with his head only on the mattress between his and Dean's mattress. Neville's leg was lying one fourth on the floor, one fourth on Hermione's book, one fourth on his own mattress and on fourth on Hermione's mattress but Neville himself didn't move an inch from the place he fell asleep.

"WAKE UP TIME." Hermione called.

"How late is it?" Pansy muttered.

"I don't know."

"For me it feels like two in the morning." Draco said.

"I will go and find a clock." Hermione found her alarm what was hidden behind her mattress. "It … is… TWO IN THE MORNING."

"You see I'm always right if it's about time." Draco muttered while taking his pillow back.

"For me it felt like seven in the morning."

"I don't care what you feel, go back to bed and sleep."

When it was really seven o'clock Hermione woke up and went to her dormitory to take a shower. When she came back down the others were awake too.

"Hey Hermione" Said Dean while reading the daily prophet.

"Good morning everybody."

"That would it be if you hadn't wake us up at two in the morning." Said Draco with a big 'I-am-not-happy' voice.

"Well I'm sorry."

"Everybody can mistake." Said Neville trying to save the moment.

"I'm going to the great hall for breakfast, anyone coming with me?" Draco said.

Pansy and Dean went with Draco to the Great hall.

"How can he make a person feel so bad about something stupid?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know but it looks like he's angry to you only."

"What do you mean?"

"When you were upstairs taking a shower, there was really quiet but when you came down … you know what I mean."

"I get it, but we can better go to the great hall too before the breakfast finishes."

"Good idea."

They walked too to the great hall before the breakfast would be closed.

Another day passed, the students had the permission from McGonagall to give a student party in the great hall with the fifth years organizing it. The party would be tonight and teachers were not allowed.

Hermione had a cute black dress and these lovely shoes for the party. Dress robes were not allowed except if you are a girl and have a cute dress hanging in your wardrobe that you would love to wear one time.

The five of them walked down the corridors straight to the great hall because none of them had a date they would go as friends.

When they entered the party there were not too much students because the most were at home for the holidays. The four house tables were moved to the side and in the middle of the room was the dance floor. Some fourth years were put in charge for the music while a team of house-elves were bringing food in the great hall all the time.

Hermione was sitting on one of the chairs that were placed at the side of the room next to Dean and Pansy. She was thinking if somebody would ask her to dance or not, she hoped someone would because she loved to dance.

It was still early in the evening everything could happen. Dean walked to the other side of the room where the food table stood and came back with his arms filled with pumpkin pastries, he handed two pastries each to everybody and kept five for himself.

A/N: I'm so sorry for the short chapter it is only half as long as my other chapters but I just came back from London and I'm so so tired of the walking and my inspiration is totally gone, that is why I end this chapter here so you can go a while without a new chapter. And please someone review I know it isn't a great story but there really should be something to say about it.
