During lunch Draco decided that he has to pay Granger a visit. He enters the common room and knocks gently on her door. No response. She's still asleep. He twists the knob and enters. Hermione didn't change clothes, probably didn't have time before the sleeping spell took effect. It was a light spell she should've been awake a few hours ago. He shakes her awake.

"Granger." She opens her eyes. She looks tired. "Have you been crying?"

"You can't stop me."

"I know." He says and waves his wand. A table appeared on her bed with food. "You have to eat."

"I'm not hungry." She shakes her head refusing the food but on cue her stomach growls. "Shit."

"Not hungry, ey?"

"Sod off, Malfoy." Draco shrugs.

"I'm just trying to be nice to you. Just go ahead and eat. It's not poisoned at all." Hermione was hesitant but spoons a spoonful of mashed potatoes.

"Have you eaten?"

"No, but I'm not hungry." He sits down on the vanity chair. Looking at her.

"So you're going to watch me eat?" He shrugs. "You have to eat Malfoy. Do it so I don't feel bad about wasting your time."

"I've eaten a lot for breakfast, I don't need to eat for lunch. Just go ahead and eat it. It's all for you. Does your head still hurt?"

"A little bit."

"Okay, I'll get medicine from Madam Pomfrey after classes end. Have you gotten over your precious Weasel?"

"Yes."

"You big fat liar." Malfoy laughs.

"It's not as easy as it looks." She places one hand on her hip.

"I guess so."


Draco grabbed her the headache medicine before going to their common room. He had all Hermione's book in his hand. He knows that the young witch didn't like missing out on anything. Meanwhile, Hermione took a bath to refresh herself. She found her wand, finally. She dried her hair with a towel then slips on a pair of shorts and loose T-shirt. Ronald has occupied her mind the whole day. Not attending her classes was a mistake but there's nothing she can do about it now.

Draco enters the common room and places his bag on the couch. He knocks on her door. She stands and walks over expecting to see Ginny or Harry to ask her how she's doing but Draco Malfoy was the face she saw.

"Feeling better?" She nods. He pushes the door wider and places her books on a nearby table. "Wrote all the assignments here. It's friday so just do this when you feel much better."

"Thanks Malfoy."

"I guess you won't be going out to dinner with that outfit?" She begins to blush realizing the outfit she had on. "That's not a problem we have head girl and head boy perks. We can eat here."

"True. Perks." She laughs nervously and sits on the edge of her bed. "Okay Malfoy. Be honest, why are you being nice to me?"

"Because you're broken and you need to be fixed. I'm just trying to be a friend to you. Plus I'm making up for all the years that I've been such a big bully to you."

"Really now? What has gotten into you?"

"Change probably." He laughs. Hermione smiles.

"Maybe, I'm glad you're changing... for the better."

"For the better." Draco repeats as if it was to assure himself. "You know what, Granger? I'd love for us to be friends."

"Friends with a muggle born?" She snorts. She wasn't sure if he was trying to be funny.

"I don't care. It doesn't matter anymore, you're blood doesn't matter and mine does neither. If we're going to be living under the same "roof" might as well be friends." Hermione shrugs but nods.

"True, I guess it won't hurt being friends." Draco sticks out his hand and she takes it.


Draco left her after that and ate dinner at the Great Hall. He chilled with Blaise and talked about their plans after Hogwarts. Hermione on the other hand had her own party. A bottle of wine appears beside her bed and she chugs it down. She had no idea why she was intoxicating herself. She felt that it was the only way to forget about what she's feeling.

Ron's probably with Lavender right now, snogging. They gross her out. How can Ron do this to her? All she ever did was love him truly. She was always the one who solves their problems, she was stupid. Her friends were right. Ron didn't deserve her she was too smart for that dimwit but she loved that dimwit. He was everything to her. She has to get him back. She stands up and exits her room. She had a hard time trying to walk straight towards the door. The wine bottle still in her other hand, she empties it. She needs the courage.

Meanwhile, Draco whispered the password to the portrait and it swings open. The first thing he saw was Granger chugging down a bottle of wine. He runs towards her.

"The fuck are you doing?" She yells at him when he took her wine bottle.

"No, Granger. What the fuck are YOU doing?"

"Drinking, duh." Hermione tries to walk past him.

"Where are you going?" Malfoy pushes her back.

"To Ron, I need to tell him something so let me go."

"That's a mistake, Granger. You're going to regret that when the morning comes."

"No I'm not. We're going to be happy again." She attempts to walk past him again but he was too strong. She pushes on him while he remained glued on his position. "Get away Malfoy, Get away." She continues to chant that until she breaks down and sinks into his arms again. "I just want him to take me back."

"Look, I saw your precious Weasel during lunch and he was with Lavender. They're a public item now. You'll just look stupid." Draco half carries and half drags her to the couch.

"I don't care, he's probably just sad that I didn't go to school and that slut is taking care of him. If I show up she'll go away forever. She'll go away cause I'm going to kill her."

"What the hell?" Hermione whipped herself another wine bottle which he grabbed as soon as it appeared.

"Oy Malfoy, get your own." She tries to reach for it but gives up.

"You should be banned from your wand, give it to me." Hermione pouts.

"No."

"Granger."

"Malfoy."

"Your wand."

"No, your wand."

"What?" Draco didn't understand her. He sighs. "Come on, Granger. Just give me your wand. I won't do anything to you or to your wand."

"Who knows, you hate me. You might kill me first." Hermione stretches and finds a comfortable spot on the couch.

"I won't. Look, I just need to be sure you wont make another wine bottle appear."

"You're such a dad." Hermione gives him her wand. Draco was shocked that she did but he accepts it. He carries her bridal style to her room and tucked her in.

"Good Night, Granger."
