Chapter three: Problems with Rotten Ron and Malfoy The Man

That night Hermonie was in the common room trying to figure what went wrong with that spell in Defense against the dark arts. Ron was pacing the floor with a puzzled look. Ron really wanted to ask Hemonie to the dance in two weeks but didn't know how.

"Hermonie", the youngest Weasley boy said. "Yes Ronald, I am trying to catch up on my spells so if you mind could you keep it down a bit". Hermoine said frustrated

I was thinking for the dance in two weeks..." but before Ron could say another word Hermonie butted in and said

"Oh yes you should take that girl from hufflepuff she is rather kind".

Ron didn't know what else to say so he walked to his room without another word. Hermoine decided to take her book back to the library. As soon as she reached the library she dropped her book in the slot and started to walk back to Gryffindor. Hermonie didn't really want to go back to the common room when Ron was there complaining and acting rather odd, so she decided to take a walk instead. As she was taking her walk she saw a door wide open. She peeked inside and it was the old bathroom. Hermonie was here once when she was frustrated and mad at Ron for being so stupid. She did remember how good that shower felt. So without any further ado Hermonie walked into the bathroom. The curfew bell just tolled but Hermonie didn't mind because she knew she probably wouldn't get caught and plus she really wanted to feel the warmth of the shower. She then closed the door and turned the shower on high. She couldn't find the light switch but that didn't matter because there was a glow of light coming from the window. Hermonie took off her clothes and put them by the side of the tub. "This sure does feel good", Hermonie said feeling refreshed and relief. As she was feeling the warmth of the shower on her back she could see a shadow of a figure that looked like it had fallen asleep. Hermonie wasn't sure how she could have missed it while coming in. Hermonie gasped. She started to back away into the small corner of the shower. As she was backing into the corner she hit her head in the metal part of the shower head. Hermonie screamed and fell on her hands and knees. The shadowy figure opened the shower door and pulled her out. Hermonie saw it was Malfoy and gave out another blood curling scream. It looked as if Hermonie was about to pass out. Malfoy ran and got a towel from the rack. He realized for the first time he had pulled her out she was naked, He stood there for a while just looking at her. Hermonie felt a little bit of strength to pull herself up and grab the towel. Hermonie's was blushing and felt rather hot. Hermonie had to tug the towels a few time from Malfoy's zoned look but managed to get it out of his hands and put it around herself. Malfoy knew that he would never be able to look at the same old Granger girl he knew the same way ever again.

Malfoy said with concern "are you all right?"

This frightened Hermonie and having her head already hurt from the shower, she stood there with her keens buckled for two minutes before she collapsed on the floor causing her to pass out. Malfoy was very afraid and didn't know what to do. He reached for the door handle but apparently since it was after curfew all the doors automatically lock, this meant Malfoy would have to wait in the bathroom until morning with Hermonie. Malfoy shook Hermonie and was afraid she might be dead. Hermonie didn't move much but was still breathing. He grabbed a bucket of cold water and threw it on her. Hermonie shook and woke up from her faint age. Hermonie looked at Draco Malfoy as if she was about to faint again. Draco was very afraid and didn't want her fainting again, so he quickly rushed next to her and put his arm around her.

Malfoy looked into Hermonie's and asked

"Are you all right?"

Hermonie answered "yes I think so."

But Draco could see in her eyes she wasn't alright. He held her closer and wasn't sure what he was doing but he couldn't help himself. Hermonie was trying to hold back her tears.

Draco asked "So what was a girl like you wandering around past curfew taking a shower".

Hermonie couldn't answer she was trying to hold back her tears from all the pain she felt on the back of her head. Then just like that Hermonie couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she burst into tears crying. Malfoy never really had this feeling before, he has really only had the feeling of being sinister, cunning, and making fun of others. But Draco somehow knew what to do he held her closer and let her cry on his shoulder. Hermonie was still wrapped in her towel which was making her rather cold and uncomfortable. Hermonie then sniffed after crying for a long time and managed to stand up. There eyes met and looked at each other for several minutes. Draco approached Hermonie, grabbed her waist and held her head and began to kiss her. Hermonie smiled as her lips tingled with glee. Draco smiled at her and she smiled back. Soon enough thou Hermonie was beginning to feel really uncomfortable in her towel and wanted to put her clothes back on. Hermonie walked over to the door and grabbed the handle she tried to open it and said

"What is wrong with the handle Malfoy?"

He responded "It has locked since its past curfew we have to wait until morning for it to open".

Hermonie was frustrated and in pain. She walked in the direction where she had put her clothes. Her clothes had fallen in the bottom of the tub which was too deep for her to reach. Hermonie said in a frustrated tone "Ugggg I have no clothes what the bloody hell am I suppose to wear now" she sobbed some more. Draco walked over to her he gave her his robe , shoes and shirt to hold he then quickly dived into the bottom of the pool and grabbed her clothes. "Here you go but there all soaking wet" Draco said. Hermionie was in a trance, he looked so handsome with his hair wet, that she fell backwards and her towel slipped and she landed into the pool and sunk all the way down. She was splashing and tried to get back up. Draco dived for her rescue and brought her back to surface.

Hermonie gasping for air finally caught Her breath and said "Thank you Draco".

For one of the first times Hermonie had actually said his first name.

Draco with a grinning smile said, "your welcome".

He carried her back to the edge of the pool and gave her, her towel. Hermonie had the biggest smile on her face. But suddenly stopped when Draco turned around to look at her.

"Here you can use my shirt since yours is all wet" Draco said kindly.

Hermonie took the t-shirt and changed into it in one of the stalls; the t-shirt was rather large and went down to her knees. Draco pulled down all the towels and made a bed. Hermonie fell asleep on the pile of towels while Draco finished ringing out her clothes. He then put a cold towel where Hermonie had hit her head. After that he snuggled up to Hermonie and fell asleep.
