A/N – the song from the last chapter is Misery Loves Its Company, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
Disclaimer – No I do not live with Draco Malfoy, I have not been married to him for 3 years, and I do not have several children with him. DARN!
Draco and Hermione quietly followed Professor McGonagall to their new dormitory. Draco could sense that Hermione was analyzing him, so he tried not to show much emotion on his face. Living with Lucius for 17 years had started to pay off, he thought bitterly.
They stopped in front of a portrait with a centaur on it. "Here is your new dormitory. You both will be living here for the rest of the school year, so I expect you both to behave," Said McGonagall with a knowing look in her eyes. "You can make the password anything you wish. Good night."
Draco sighed. "What do you want the password to be?"
"I really don't care," said Hermione distractedly.
"You pick," he insisted. Draco wanted Hermione to at least act like he was there.
"Fine, how about 'miscommunication?'" she asked.
"Sure, 'miscommunication,'" he said to the portrait. I wonder what she means by that, he wondered. The portrait opened and they both stepped inside.
The room was beautiful. It the walls were each painted a different color; one was blue, one was yellow, one was red, and the other was green. It obviously represented the different houses of Hogwarts. There were two couches in the middle of the room; one was silver and the other gold. (A/N – I just realized that "one is silver and the other gold" is from a girl scouts song!) Draco had a feeling that Hermione was going to ask him what was wrong, so he made a beeline for the room he assumed was his. It had a green door so he was pretty sure of his choice.
When he closed his door, he got a good look around his room. It was decorated all in Slytherin colors, but it had no bathroom. Oh Merlin, we have to share a bathroom too? This is someone's sick idea of a joke. I feel so much for her and she hates me. This year is going to suck, He thought gloomily to himself.
All Draco wanted was to fall asleep, so he decided to go to bed. He started to get undressed, but then he heard a knock on his door.
When Hermione first saw the room, she almost gasped. It's amazing! I can't believe I get to live here, she gloated to herself.
Just as she was going to ask Malfoy about what was wrong, he sprinted to his room (she believed it was his room because it had a green door) and slammed the door shut.
That's odd, I'm going to go and talk to him, she decided.
She went to his room and knocked on the door. "Dra-Malfoy? Can I come in?" she asked.
No answer.
"Come on! Will you please open the door? I need to talk to you!" she pleaded.
Still no answer.
"If you do not open this door I will blast it open!" threatened Hermione, sounding just like Mrs. Weasley.
Silence.
As Hermione was about to blast the poor door off its hinges, Draco finally opened the door.
"Ok! Ok! Keep your shirt on! I opened the door, now what do you want?" said Draco a little too bitterly.
"I want to talk to you. Can I come in?" said Hermione timidly. She didn't want to scare him away.
Draco sighed. She had a genuine look of concern on her face. He didn't want to push her away any more than he already had to. "Fine, you can come in."
Hermione was nervous. She started to blush a little as she realized that they were alone in his bed room; and he was dressed only in his silk green boxers.
"Um, you don't have on any clothes," Hermione stuttered.
"What? Oh, right." Draco put on his pants again. "Better?"
"Yea." Hermione was still a little nervous. Even thought he was now in pants, he still didn't have a shirt on. Hermione couldn't help but stare a little at his six-pack abs. God, he is sexy, she thought.
Hermione mentally slapped herself. Focus! You're here to talk to him, not to stare at his abs.
"So what's up?" asked Draco.
"Well," Hermione started. It took all of her energy to make her eyes look into his and not on his chest. "I saw you leave the Great Hall earlier. You looked really stressed. I wanted to know what's up."
"Well, my friends were annoying me and I just wanted to get away from them," lied Draco.
Hermione could sense that something else was bothering him. "I don't think that's all. I know that there is something else, so would you please tell me?"
Draco looked at Hermione. She looked a little worried. He didn't want to tell her what was bothering him, because he knew that she didn't feel the same way. What am I supposed to tell her? He wondered.
Hermione had an idea about what was bothering him. Was it about the letter? Since she found it on the street, she assumed that Draco had not meant for her to find it. He probably knew that she read the letter and was stressed. So did he truly like her? Or was he stressed because he didn't like her and he thought that she thought that he did.
There was an awkward silence. All of a sudden, Draco leaned in and kissed Hermione.
It was a sweet kiss, and Hermione felt herself deepen the kiss. Wait, what am I doing? She thought. Hermione then pushed Draco away.
"I can't do this. I'm dating Ron!" she exclaimed. Without giving Draco a chance to reply, Hermione fled from the room.
"Shit!" yelled Draco. 'Why did I do that?'
Because you are deeply in love with her.
He tried to push that voice away, but it wasn't working. And he knew the voice was right, which made everything even worse.
Hermione ran onto her bed with tears on her face.
I cheated on Ron! How could I?
You know you loved it.
No I didn't!
Yes you did, why else would you have deepened the kiss?
The only thing that would keep Hermione sane was her music. It had kept her sane over the last years with all of the drama with her friends and losing her mother. She quickly found her iPod and lost herself in the song.
Would you mind if I
hurt you what have you done
now? I know I'd better stop trying
understand that I need to
wish that I had other
choices
than to hurt the one I love
You know that there's no
denying
I won't show mercy on you now
What have you done now? I,
I've been waiting for someone like you What
have you done (x4) Would you mind if I killed
you? Because you have turned
into my worst enemy What have you done now? I,
I've been waiting for someone like you What
have you done (x4) I will not fall
I know I should
stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over
now
What have you done?
But now you are slipping
away
what have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us
suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
What have you done now
What have you done
(x4)
What have you done now
Would you mind if I tried to?
you carry hate that I don't feel
it's
over now
what have you done?
But now you are slipping
away
what have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us
suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
What have you done now
What have you done
(x4)
What have you done now
Won't let
it go
We will be free
When it ends
I, I've been
waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What
have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us suffer?
There's a
curse between us
between me and you
(x2)
