Chapter Six

Hermione woke up late in the morning. She hadn't slept well and it had taken her ages to get to sleep. So she wasn't in one of the best moods. Quickly putting on her uniform and robes she ran out into the Heads common room and got herself some toast while she cleaned up her books. At this moment a sloppily dressed Draco ran out of his room, piece of toast in his mouth and out the door. Harry casually strolled out of his room, grin from ear to ear and went to class, in no rush at all. Hermione jogged to catch up and asked him what the grin was for just before she stuffed her mouth.

"Ginny stayed over last night, first time this week", he said easily.

Hermione just shook her head, she should have known.

"Now that you two go out, I hardly see her you know!" Hermione commented.

"That's because you and Malfoy spend too much time together now", he threw back at her. Hermione had no idea where that comment had come from, and walking into class, couldn't even ask what he meant.

The day dragged on and came to end Draco thought would never come. He had been thinking about her all day. Her gorgeous wavy hair and carefree smile haunted his every waking minute. He walked into the common room in a daze, not even noticing the carefully planned event that Harry and Ginny had staged for him. On the couch they lay half-dressed snogging it out.

"He didn't even notice, he didn't even see!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Somethings up, now we know it for sure", Harry concluded. " And Hermione's got something to do with it", he said with an all-knowing smile.

Ginny beamed, "he likes her!"

"Exactly", Harry agreed.

The secret was out. If only the two involved knew.

Draco sat in his room in a trance of her. Just outside his door she passed through the common room into her own room, in the same state, also missing the carefully staged Harry and Ginny trap. Both her friends were convinced that Draco and Hermione were in a relationship, and if not, just needed a little bit of help into one. Living with Draco, Harry had learnt that appreciate the complexity that was Malfoy, and the same could be said for Draco, who and learnt to get to know people before judging them. In his room Draco sat in thought. He wanted to impress Hermione. In the past he hadn't had to try at all with the girls he had scored. Pansy was easy. He didn't even have to try. All the Slytherin girls, some Hufflepuffs had made it to his room in the weekends and the Ravenclaws snuck in his window. He met some girls in his lucky secret corridor. Hey he had even had a Gryffindor, he had put a little bit of effort into that girl but it wasn't that much. He shook his head. Lack of sex was getting to him. He had had some fun on his first night back with a Ravenclaw, they tended to be more adventurous. But he didn't want Hermione for that; he wanted to spend time with her. That was purely it. He stood up, one person could help, he was sure of it. He just wasn't sure how to ask…………

A knock on Harry's door startled him. Ginny had left and gone to delve in the library for source material and Harry had been left to think of their living situation.

"Come in", Harry yelled.

A rather sheepish looking Draco walked in and closed the door behind him. They just looked at each other in silence. Draco took his first move.

"Potter", he started, "your good friends with Hermione – "

He was interrupted by a "You like her don't you?"

Harry's grin was smug, Draco couldn't tell if he was angry, upset or well anything!

"Yeah I do", came a quiet reply.

"Well I will help you. What did you want to ask", Harry continued.

Draco left Harry's room with a world of ideas. Hermione liked cats, she liked purple and red, she liked muggle chocolate, she liked tulips, and they were her favourite flower. He would get them all for her! Not all at once. First he would get her an apology present for the pranks he played on her. It had been fun, maybe one more prank would be alright……

Harry sat in his room thinking about it all. Draco seemed not to want to rush things, just become friends with Hermione first. This idea wasn't good enough for Harry, who saw the tension between the two, and it wasn't bad tension either. It was desire! Thinking over this, the idea hit him. A blind date to throw them together. It would mislead the two. Although he saw they liked each other, Harry had heard all about Draco and his antics. Although no girl had been in his room this term (to his knowledge) Draco had reputation Harry wasn't all too keen on Hermione experiencing. He left his room to talk to Ginny about it, and discuss with her his blind date idea.

So read and review! Hope you all like this chapter. Short, yes, but I cant write too much or there will be nothing for next chapter!
