A/N: Hey all, I know it took a little while to update, longer than usual anyway, so I hope you like this chapter!

Secretspells311: well, I'm glad that you can be patient. I don't like to be patient, it's boring. Enjoy the chapter!

Sirusblackshottie: that's awesome! I have my own mini me, and her name is Caitlin, just like me, and the thing is, not only are our names spelled the same (didya know there's over 20 ways to spell it?) but also we are so alike it's scary sometimes. It's like she's not my mini me but my clone. Its freaky, but in a good way! Hope you like the chapter.

Silverwolf130492: I love the marauders too; I loved seeing them in the 5th book as when they were young, so I decided to have a portrait of them in the castle, and this way so that they can be in it more. Plenty of mischief for Draco! Hehehe (insert evil grin). Enjoy!

Heaven N Angel: thanks so much for reviewing! And I'm glad you like the tattoos so much. There will be more stuff with them. So yay on that. And I'm glad you like the story. Enjoy this chapter!

BenjiMaddenFreek: I updated! Maybe not as soon as I could have, but still soon all the same. Hope you like the chapter!

Previously

Hermione moved towards his side of the portrait and said quietly, "Remus!" He didn't budge. "Lupin!" He still didn't budge, even though she said this a bit louder. "Moony!" he shot up awake at this, "Wha?" he looked around frantically looking for whoever had woken him.

"Chaos."

"Right, night," and he slumped back against the frame and drifted off to sleep again.

Chapter Ten Movies

"Okay, now, remember when we were walking to the Great Hall? And we were talking on the way?" asked Draco.

"Yes," Hermione answered hesitantly.

"Well you were talking about your Halloween costume and were gonna say something that you did, but we got there before you could say what you did."

"Oh, well…" she trailed off and looked down again, just as she had earlier.

"What?"

"Well, I know there are a lot of students here who don't know much about muggle movies or have seen any. So I asked the Headmaster if I could arrange a movie night every Saturday night until the dance so that people could get ideas for their costumes, and then they could also come and ask people who know about muggle movies for ideas as well."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and he said yes. What do you think?"

"I think that that's an ingenious idea! I mean, there are plenty of people who have seen one or two movies, but they aren't movies that would have any good ideas for costumes. I myself have only ever seen three movies and they were all over the past two summers. Could I help you pick some of the movies?"

"Sure. Of course. I didn't really think that you would like the idea, to be honest."
"Why wouldn't I? I'm not the same bigoted idiot I was first through fifth year. I like muggles and muggle technology. Didn't Blaise tell you that I was the one who made him get a cell phone? Just so I would have a reason to use mine?"

Hermione thought about it. Blaise had mentioned something about only getting it because someone told him to, but she couldn't remember him saying that it had been Draco who made him get it.

"Anyway, what kind of movies did you bring? Can we watch one now?"

He was like a little boy on his birthday, trying to get his parents to let him open his presents.

"Sure, why not? It's not like we've got anything to do anyway. What are the movies you've seen?"

"Well, I saw…King Arthur and Van Helsing. Then the third one was at Blaise's house after you got him into movies, The Matrix. I really liked that one."

"Well, I have all three of the Matrix movies with me, if you want to watch one of them."

"There's three of them?"

"Yeah," she laughed, "there's The Matrix, then comes The Matrix Reloaded and last is The Matrix Revolutions. Do you want to see the second one tonight, and the third another time?"

"Yeah, sounds good. Where we going to watch?" he raised an eyebrow at her. Maybe they'd have to watch in her room.

"Well, I can bring it out here, and that would be much more comfy than then floor of my room, and we can have some popcorn and change into our pajamas. How's that?"

"I'll meet you back here in ten minutes. You with the movie and me with the popcorn,"

With that they went in opposite directions, each to their respective rooms.

Hermione went around her room, trying to find her TV and movies. She finally found them in the drawer of the bedside table, where a house elf had put them. She had given S. P. E. W. at the end of 5th year, after Voldemort's return was made public. There had been too much to do. She put the TV and movie on the bed and went to her closet. She looked at the clothes hanging around her. She found what she was looking for, grabbed it, and left. After putting her pajamas on and grabbing the shrunken TV and the DVD box, Mione went towards the Common Room, stopping at the mirror of her vanity before doing so. She brushed her hair into a smooth ponytail and checked to make sure there was nothing in her teeth from dinner.

Draco was in the kitchen making popcorn. He sat on the counter waiting for the magical microwave to finish its job. He then went into his room and got dressed into his pajamas. He then grabbed the popcorn that he made and went to the mirror over his dresser and looked himself over, making sure that his hair wasn't standing up in odd directions and making sure that he didn't have dinner food stuck between his teeth. He then walked out of his room and into the Common Room,

They both stopped. Hermione had been in the process of putting the DVD into her now normal sized TV. She looked over at him. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Oh boy, Quidditch has done him A LOT of good. Oh boy. Ummm…movie….right. Now that he wasn't wearing a shirt Mione could see the well-defined muscles that his body consisted of. He had an amazingly chiseled chest and arms that looked like they could keep a girl safe whether beating someone to a pulp or holding you. Hermione had a theory about arms. The stronger they looked, the better they felt around you. And Draco's arms certainly looked strong. His pajama bottoms were a dark hunter green you would expect from a Slytherin. They also seemed to be made of silk, just like his sheets.

Hermione was looking at him. He could tell she was admiring his toned body, and he took the moment to do the same. She had on a pair of short cotton shorts and a cotton tank to go with it. In fact, it wasn't so much a tank as it was a sports bra. She turned back to the TV and finished setting up the movie. When she did this he was able to clearly see the tattoo on her lower back, which was bared by the low shorts and sports bra. He could also see the panther tattoo, which seemed to be napping. The shorts were so low on her hips that if they hadn't been so tight they might have fallen off. As it was, they were very firmly in place as they snuggly fit her backside. He looked at her long legs, they were very toned and looked strong. She turned back around, walked towards him, and grabbed the bowl of popcorn out of his hands, took his hand, and led him to the couch. He noticed her taught stomach which also looked as if it had seen its fair share of crunches and other workouts.

Hermione led him to the couch and sat down in the middle of it and motioned for him to sit next to her. He did. He also put his arm around the back of the couch. She knew that before the night was over Draco's arm would be around either her shoulder or her waist.

About halfway into the movie Draco looked down at the figure in his arms. Somewhere during the course of the movie they had moved towards the end of the couch closest to Draco and Hermione was leaning against him with her legs curled up underneath her and resting on his leg. Her head was on his shoulder arms wrapped around his middle. He had his left hand resting on her right knee and his right arm was around her shoulder with his hand running up and down her arm slowly.

She looked up at him and smiled warmly at him. He smiled back and turned his attention back to the movie. She was so pleased with how this was going. She wanted to stay just like this. Granted, the sex scene near the beginning of the movie had been a bit awkward, but after that everything had been going swimmingly.

The movie ended without incidence and Draco looked back down at Hermione who had fallen asleep sometime during the last half of the movie. Draco, who didn't feel like relinquishing the warmth of her body for the coolness of his bed, summoned a warm blanket from his room and tossed over the both of them while shifting his position into a more sleep condusive position while trying not to wake her. It took a few minutes but he managed.

The next morning came around too early for Draco's tastes. He looked down and saw Hermione looking up at him. She smiled when she realized that he was awake. He smiled back at her and gave her a slight squeeze which she returned. She then snuggled back down into the blanket and the security of Draco's arms. She had been right. She felt that, when she was in his arms, nothing could harm her, and she didn't want to leave that feeling.

After another half an hour of just staying in each other's arms, Mione reluctantly got up and stretched gracefully. Draco yawned.

"What do we have to do today?" he asked her.

"Nothing until lunch. Then we have to have lunch with our heads of house and Professor Dumbledore. Then we have the rest of the day until the train arrives."

"Okay, what time is it?" he mumbled to himself. He looked down at his watch and got a rather large shock. "What time is lunch?"

"Eleven thirty. Why? What time is it now?"

"It's eleven o'clock. We just slept through the entire morning, Mione." He laughed at the thought. Hermione joined him.

They laughed for a solid minute before Hermione jumped up and dashed to her room yelling back over her shoulder, "I get the bathroom first!"

"Not if I get it first!" Draco yelled back running to his room as well.

It turned out that Hermione got the bathroom first.

They showered and dressed. Then they made their way down to the Entrance Hall where they met the three Professors.

"We've decided that today is too nice of a day to stay in for lunch. How about a picnic?"

They went out onto the grounds where a large red and white checkered tablecloth was spread over the ground with many different dishes. They ate and talked about the duties of Head Girl and Boy. When they were done they went back into the castle.

"So Mione, I haven't seen you fly yet. Want to go out and fly around the grounds?"

"You know what? That sounds perfect. Let's go."

They went back up to their dorms and got their brooms. With Mione in the lead, they ran back outdoors Draco trying to get Mione so that she would let him ride her broom. But no matter how hard he ran, Hermione always seemed to be out of reach. They mounted their brooms and took off and Draco had to admit that even he didn't have the kind of natural skill and calm that she had. If he hadn't known better he might have thought that she had been born riding a broomstick.

They spent the entire afternoon flying. When it was almost time for them to meet the train they headed back indoors and changed into their robes. Hermione was nervous. Tonight was the first time that her friends would see her since her new look. She didn't know however that her absence on the train was causing her friends to worry.

"So wait a minute Ron, this is the last card that you need to complete your chocolate frog card collection?"

Or it had, before Ginny told them that she was Head Girl and as such had to be there a day before anyone else.

"YES! Now bloody give it to me before I attack you!" Ron fairly screamed.

Laughing, Harry handed the card to Ron, who looked at it, and chucked it at Harry.

"What the bloody hell was that for! Why did ya have to do that to me? What did I ever do to you? Huh?"

The card that Harry had given Ron was not Agrippa but Dumbledore. Ron had thirteen Dumbledore cards.

"So Gin, you say that Hermione is already there?"

"For the last time Harry, YES! I know that she's already there, because she sent me an owl!"

The boys had the dignity to look sheepish. "Sorry," they both mumbled.

"It's just that we haven't seen her all summer," Harry said.

"Yeah, we miss her, we haven't even gotten to talk to her, all the news comes through you." Ron provided.

Ginny scowled at the two of them. "How many times do I have to tell you? She'll explain it all when you see her. Which will be in about five seconds as we're here."

The boys' heads snapped to the windows where they looked out and distinguished three figures waiting on the platform. One was about twice the size of the other two and was obviously Hagrid. Of the other two, one was taller and had the build of a male and the other was slightly shorter and was clearly female. Last year had started the tradition of the Head Boy and Girl coming down to the station to meet the train.

The two recognized the girl as the one that was with Draco the day before in Diagon Alley. They all got off the train and Ginny dragged them towards the three figures. When they got closer the girl launched herself at Harry and Ron and took them each into a lung crushing hug.

"Harry! Ron! It's so good to see you both! How much have you told them, Ginny?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"HERMIONE!" the two asked in unison.

A/N: I know, I'm evil, but my brain isn't functioning anymore and I need sleep so I leave off here. Oh and how many of you want me to refer to the marauders as James Remus and Sirius and how many want Prongs Moony and Padfoot? Or do you want me to do it the way I did last chapter? Let me know.
