AN. Hi I apologize to anyone who had my story on story alert! I kinda gave up and was focusing on my art, but Im back into this story.

After the feast, Draco was eager to leave Pansy in the entrance hall and head up to his new dormitory.
"Don't forget to give me the password later!" she squealed at him. She winked and then departed down towards the dungeons.
Fat Chance, Thought Draco. He knew he would have to come up with some sort of excuse not to; he certainly didn't want Pansy visiting him at unexpected time. Especially at night... He climbed up the spiral staircase and found a portrait of an old looking elephant, who he gave the password to. (Treacle Tart) It slowly swung open and he stepped inside, and immediately appreciated having his own common room for a change. The room was perfectly circular, and had a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It was about a quarter of the size of the Slytherin common room, and was decorated with soft earthy colours and many paintings of trees and animals.
Maybe I can finally get some homework done and raise my grades. Draco mused. The only problem was that Mudblood having potty and the weasel in here all the time. Just Granger alone was enough to piss him off. He checked his timetable for tomorrow. Double transfiguration first thing, his worst subject. He had actually tried to do a bit of extra studying over the summer, to please his mother, but with The Dark Lord using their manor for headquarters; it was hardly an ideal place to get anything done. Draco had become frightened of The Dark Lord over the summer, he didn't want to admit it, but he saw so much more hope on the other side of the battle... Just by thinking these thoughts he knew he was resisting a little bit, and that comforted him somehow.
He decided on getting to bed early tonight, he was rather exhausted. He clamoured up the stairs to his new bedroom and lay down, falling asleep almost instantly.
Hermione went up to her new dorm in good spirits, finally, a common room all to herself! And one that she had felt she earned. Well, almost to myself. She thought darkly. Malfoy was still in the picture. She hoped he would keep to himself and not bother her while she was trying to study. She still had his threat lingering on her brain. Was he serious?
Draco woke with a start, he could hear noises downstairs. Granger! He thought savagely. Damn her, why did she have to go crashing around like that. He got up and walked downstairs.
"Will you keep it down, Granger, I'm trying to sleep!"
"For gods sake, Malfoy, it's not even 8:00 yet."
Draco glanced down at his watch. 7:46. Oops... he had thought it was much later. He sneered at Granger and stormed back up stairs, to let her know that he didn't give a damn.
She called after him, "And I don't want to hear any weird noises at night either!"
Draco turned on the spot, "What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Granger? Mind your own business and leave me alone!" He strode up the rest of the stairs and shut his door.
Even though he had played dumb, Draco knew what the Mudblood was talking about. He had earned himself quite the reputation when it came to girls. Truthfully, he was still a virgin, but no one knew that, not even Pansy or Blaise. Every girl he had hooked up with had been boring to him.
He was pleased to see that there was his own private bathroom. He hadn't noticed it before. He got into the shower and let the hot water cascade down his body, washing away everything that was on his mind.
Hermione was still staring angrily at the spot where Malfoy was previously standing. She knew she mustn't get so mad at that prick, but he really got on her nerves! She heard the portrait open behind her, and saw Ron slip inside. (She had given him the password at dinner)
"Hey, Hermione." He grinned at her, and in two strides had her in his arms. She loved the feeling of his warmth.
"Hey, Ron." She looked up at him and said in a sly voice, "What brings you here?"
"Oh I just wanted to see my lady to bed!" They both giggled and fell onto the couch, kissing. Ron looked around and commented, "Wow this is a really cozy place! I think I'm a bit jealous... although I do get to share it with you occasionally." He gave a smile that she didn't return.
"I'm not sure if that's such a good idea... if Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore found out, I couldn't stand it, I would feel so ashamed."
"Ah, well, I have plenty of time to convince you." Ron held her more tightly, and they fell asleep together on the couch.
In the morning, Draco came downstairs to find the Mudblood and weasel asleep on the couch together. His face lit up with glee, Granger breaking rules already. He might actually have something on her. He laughed to himself as he headed down to the great hall for breakfast. As soon as he walked in he saw Pansy waving frantically at him. Reluctantly, he went and sat beside her.
"So, how was it?" She said as soon as he started to eat his bacon.
"How was what?"
She gave him an impatient look."Sharing a room with Granger!"
"Oh. Why do you care? It wasn't completely awful, I ignored her most of the night. However I did wake up to find..." He stopped, Pansy would tell on Granger instantly, and he needed to have something to blackmail her with. He recovered quickly. "...To find she has fallen asleep on the couch, with her nose in a damned book already! She had better not have fouled up the couch with her Mudblood stench!
Pansy hadn't even noticed the pause. "Urgh! And here she comes with Weasly now!"
Draco looked up and saw her and weasel rushing in to sit with Potter. Ha-ha, they had both slept in. He wondered what he was going to make Granger do for him so he wouldn't tell on her. This could get interesting.
AN Draco is so mean, please RnR =)
