An hour later and Malfoy and I had finished discussing every conceivable angle of tomorrow's meeting. I was feeling ready for the meeting, no matter what was thrown at us. I was dedicated to make Malfoy's case.

But now, I was exhausted. All I wanted was a warm blanket, a really good movie, and some hot cocoa.

The thought had just entered my mind when the room suddenly started to move. Malfoy and I quickly leapt up, wands at the ready.

It was good timing on our part, because a second later all the furniture disappeared. Another second and all the décor was wiped out, leaving us in a bare white room for a split second.

In another second, a U shaped couch that looked very plushy materialized in front of me, in another second, blankets and pillows filled the room and a ginormous TV appeared. A floating tray containing two mouthwatering looking cocoas appeared in front of us.

I squealed in excitement and launched myself onto the sofa. I stretched out and piled a few blankets on top on me. Everything was soft, plush, and ultra-relaxing.

"What is all this?" I heard Malfoy's bewildered voice. He was still standing frozen in the same place.

I laughed a bit at him. "Malfoy, haven't you ever had a movie night? It's a great way to relax!"

He shook his head and put his bag down reluctantly, as if he didn't really want to touch anything.

I rolled my eyes at his pretentiousness.

"C'mon Malfoy, there's nothing else we can do today. Let's have some relaxing fun."

I patted the spot beside me. He still looked hesitant, so I patted it again, smiling encouragingly.

He sighed, as if this was a huge deal, the drama queen.

Eventually his royal highness made his way over and flopped ungracefully onto the spot beside me.

The hot cocoa drifted over, which I accepted happily.

Malfoy eyed it as if he was confronted with the most poisonous poison known to man.

My forehead scrunched up in thought for a moment, and then something occurred to me.

"Malfoy, have you never had hot cocoa?"

Malfoy looked defensive, "and if I haven't?"

I shook my head, "that's just too sad." My playful smile kept him from retaliating, and instead he accepted the hot cocoa and flipped one of the blankets over himself.

He took a sip and looked pleased, so I counted this gentle induction into muggle things for Malfoy as a pass.

I picked up the remote beside me and pressed play, wondering which movie the Room of Requirement had picked out of my subconscious.

As the movie opened to 10 Things I Hate About You I grinned, definitely one of my favourite movies. A snarky modernization of The Taming of the Shrew? Yes please! I snuggled into the comfort of the couch, ready for my nice night.

"Ah, Granger?"

"Shh Malfoy, just watch. You'll like it."

The hours passed, as the movie wrapped up I wiped a tear from my eye, I was a sucker for a good happy ending. And Kat never failed to make me laugh.

Over the course of the movie I had shifted enough to be leaning my shoulder against Malfoy's. It was surprisingly cozy.

As the credits rolled, I stretched my arms and legs.

"Alright Granger, that was pretty good. The Australian bloke was funny."

I grinned widely, and Malfoy surprised me by gently bumping my shoulder with his.

"You did something right," he said in explanation, "don't let it get to your head."

I adopted a look of mock scandalization. "Why I would never!" Then I broke down into giggles, Malfoy's chuckles joining me.

The moment of camaraderie, if not friendship, was a much needed break from the rush and stress of the past few weeks.

My unwinding usually came in the form of sitting with Harry and Ron in the evening. While we didn't have lots in common, they were my best friends, and sometimes their very presence made me feel happier and calmer.

But this interaction with Malfoy was new. Hanging out with someone in a completely relaxed setting was something I could definitely get used to. While I didn't mind discussions about Quidditch or girls occurring before me, it was nice to chat with and hang out with someone on my terms.

It was admittedly strange to be here, kicking it back with Draco Malfoy. That wasn't a very usual event in my world.

And yet, I found myself enjoying our time together much more than I had expected, and was actually looking forward to hanging out with him again.

What the hell was happening?
