Chp. 7- Maybe

Thanks to reviewers!

Last Time:

Hermione wakes up after awhile and sees she's in her room and her bag and cloak are in a chair.

She smiles to herself before falling asleep again.

Now:

When she wakes up her curtains are open and sunlight is streaming through the window.

Hermione gets out of the bed and makes it. She grabs a bra, a pair of knickers, a pair of faded low rise jeans and a red tanktop.

She walks into the bathroom and locks the doors and takes her clothes off.

After checking to make sure the water isn't scalding hot she steps in and washes her hair and body.

Hermione shuts the shower off and wraps a towel around herself.

Her body is dry and then she slips her clothes on and waves her wand at her hair and then at her face.

She waves her wand and all the doors open and Draco's door opens.

He steps in with just boxers on. Hermione looks at him.

"Um thanks for carrying me to my bed last night."

"No problem...thought you'd be more comfortable in there."

Hermione nods her head and then goes into her room.

She looks at herself in the mirror and her hair is straight and she has some mascara, and eyeshadow on. She slips her cloak on and then her bag and makes her way out into the common room and then into the corridor.

When she gets to the seventh floor the boys are leaving the Gryffindor common room.

"Hey Harry! Ron!"

They turn and see Hermione rushing to them.

"Hey Hermione."

The three walk down to the great hall together. Hermione eats some food and then checks her schedule.

Charms, and Arithmancy.

Two of her favorite classes, after Transfiguration of course.

She finished her food and then waited for the boys and they made their way up to the charms classroom. Hermione sat in between the boys and finally Professor Flitwick called attention from his stack of books.

He took roll call and then they worked on a new spell.

Hermione got it her first try and earned Gryffindor ten points. She smiled at Professor Flitwick and then helped the boys, although it didn't get them anywhere. The bell rang and Hermione said goodbye to the boys as she went to Arithmancy.

As she gets into class and takes notes her mind wander to Draco. He carried her to bed last night which was really sweet of him...maybe she should give him a chance to prove himself.

He did seem changed...

Hermione snapped back to attention and took thorough notes and then when the bell rang signaling class was over she made her way to the library instead of the great hall.

She grabbed out some parchment, her quill, and the bottle of ink. She started writing the two essays that were her homework.

She finished both in half an hour and then stuffed them in her bag.

Hermione got up and looked around and grabbed Hogwarts: A History out.

She settled down at the table and started reading it.

After reading it for an hour she had finished it and was starting from the beginning again.

"Classic read..."

Hermione snapped up from the book and her eyes met silver ones.

"Hello Draco..."

Draco didn't say anything but just leaned back in his chair with a smirk on his face. Hermione went back to the book and continued reading. She could feel eyes bore into her though.

Hermione lifted her head again and Draco was staring at her.

"What do you want?"

Draco just shrugged and smirked at her again.

"You want to go back to the common room to hang out?"

Hermione bite her lip...maybe she should give him a chance.

"Sure."

Hermione closed the book and put it back on the shelf. She walked with Draco up to the common room and settled down on a chair as he laid on the couch.

Finally after a couple of minute of just laying there Draco looked over at her.

"I wanted to talk about this whole arranged marriage thing."

Hermione just nodded her head.

"I have something I want to add to it..."

Oh god, Hermione thought to herself...

"I want it added that neither of us will be unfaithful during our marriage."

Hermione's jaw dropped...he was making it so he couldn't sleep with other women...

"Is that ok with you?"

Hermione nodded her head, and opened her mouth to speak but couldn't think of what to say so she closed it.

"So you're not going to want a mistress?"

Draco laughed and looked over at her.

"No...I don't want to be unfaithful to the person I'll spend the rest of my life with...I don't want to be like my father contrary to what others may believe."

Hermione smiled over at him.

"Ok we can add that to the contract...I think it's an excellent idea...I'm not surprised it wasn't in there..."

Hermione frowned at the thought...Lucius had left that little loophole so Draco could shag whoever he wanted while she was suppose to be pregnant with his baby...but she had no right to divorce...

"I'll have my father add it...so what is your perspective on this whole marriage thing?"

"Well I guess it could be worse...I don't like the no divorce thing that much though..."

Draco just stared at her.

"So after you have my baby you'd want a divorce...because it would be a Malfoy heir so I would keep it...and you might not even have visitation rights..."

Hermione frowns at what he said.

"Well I guess when you put it like that then I guess the no divorce thing is ok...I mean if I had a kid I would want to be there for it...so you're parents want us to get married over christmas break..."

"That's what they said...personally I want to wait till summer, but that's not going to happen...I'm surprised they'll wait till break..."

Hermione laid back in the chair. She was engaged to Draco Malfoy.

"So did you tell Pansy or Blaise?"

"No...I'll tell them tomorrow...tell Potty or Weasel?"

"No I didn't tell Harry or Ron...I really wish you would call them by their names...I don't say Pug face or Mr. Conceited..."

"Pug face? Mr. Conceited? You need help on being mean Hermione!"

"Well I'm not mean...it's not in my nature..."

"I'm surprised that you're not in Slytherin...since your parents were."

"I guess I'm not the sly and sneaky type...at least not that I know of..."

"I'm sure it will come around eventually."

"So we're getting married?"

"Looks like it..."

"God I can't believe I'm marrying the enemy..."

"I'm hurt Hermione...so when are you telling Potter and Weasley," Draco asks...apparently not able to say Harry or Ron.

"Either tomorrow or the day after."

Draco nods his head and places his hands behind his heads and stretches out. Hermione smiles slightly and sings lightly to herself.

She's singing We Belong Together by Mariah Carey. Ever since she first heard the song she had been infatuated by it. She had always been a fan of Mariah Carey.

"What are you singing?"

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts. Draco was looking over at her with interest.

"Oh just a muggle song called We Belong Together."

Draco nodded his head.

"Well I'll be going to bed...see you tomorrow Draco."

Draco nodded his head at Hermione as she made her way to her bedroom. She changed into a t-shirt and slipped into her bed, and fell asleep shortly after.

Well I'm leaving it there...please R & R! I want to know what you think...do you like it? Ill try and update every two weeks!
