"Where are they?" Harry asked. They had just gotten off the train and Draco and Storm were nowhere in sight.
Hermione shrugged. "I don't know."
The last carriage was getting ready to leave when Draco and Storm made it to the group, red faced from running. "Why didn't you wake us up?" Draco asked Hermione.
"I didn't know you were asleep." Hermione whispered back. She smiled and said low enough for just the two of them, "Did you have fun?"
He smacked her arm. "Shut up."
"The password is 'young love'. Don't ask me why. Albus was in one of those moods." McGonagall explained, showing Draco and Hermione to their dorm. They were standing outside of a portrait with the four founders of Hogwarts on it.
"Thank you Professor." Draco and Hermione said as McGonagall walked off. "Young love." they said together. The portrait swung open. They stepped in and gasped. There were bookcases lining the walls, a couch, two comfy chairs, a fire place, a table with two chairs, and two staircases. One staircase led to the Head Boy's room and the other led to the head Girl's room. Everything was done in black, green, red, and gold.
The two headed up to Draco's room first. There was a queen sized wooden four poster bed with black sheets and a dark green comforter. There were dark green curtains, a black dresser, a black table, and a wooden desk. They then went up to Hermione's room. It was exactly like Draco's, except the black was red and the green was gold. "We've got it made this year." Hermione sighed as she fell onto her bed.
Draco sat next to her, "Yes we do." After a few minutes of silence, he got up, "I'm going to go take a shower and go to bed. Night 'Mione."
"Night Draco."
Storm sat in the common room the next morning. It was six o'clock so she was alone. It felt weird without Draco being there. Why am I even thinking about him? she thought. Because you love him. a voice replied. You know that voice in the back of your head that you always try to ignore? That was the one talking.
Sure I love him. He's the brother I never had. she thought
That's not what I meant. You're IN love with him. You want to hug him, you want to kiss him, you want to—
"Enough!" she shouted.
"Talking to yourself now?" a voice joked behind her.
She turned and found herself face to face with Draco, "What are you doing in here?"
"Came to see my favorite girl." he replied. He jumped over the couch and sat next to her.
"Oh, well, Pansy's upstairs."
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny."
She grinned, "I know." She laid her head on his shoulder, "How was your first night in your new room?"
"It's was okay. My bed is bigger."
"I'd like to see what it looks like…the common room and everything."
"Well, come on." he stood up and helped Storm up. He led her over to a portrait of Salazar Slytherin and whispered, "Young love." The portrait opened and Draco led Storm in.
"Wow, nice." she said.
"I know."
Storm checked her watch. "Let's go down to breakfast."
Draco nodded. "Okay."
"Girls, I have some news." Storm stated. She, Ginny, and Hermione were sitting on the grand staircase.
"And what's that?" Ginny asked.
"I'm in love." Storm replied, sounding upset.
"Don't sound so enthusiastic." Hermione joked.
"It's not that, it's that I'm in love with Draco."
The other girls' eyes widened. "You're in love with Draco?!" they yelled in unison.
"Ssh! No need to yell it out loud for everyone to hear!" Storm exclaimed.
"Have you told him?" Ginny asked.
Storm shook her head. "No."
"Why not?" asked Hermione.
"Because, I only came to the realization this morning right before he came and saw me." Storm stood. "ARGH!! This is so annoying! I swore to myself that I'd never fall in love. I don't want to end up like my mother, an abusive drunk!" She started crying and Hermione and Ginny hugged her. "I don't want to hurt him."
"And you won't." Hermione said.
The bell rang, signaling the end of breakfast. "What do you have first?" Ginny asked. "We have Double Charms." She gestured to herself and Hermione.
Storm grinned. "Double Potions, with Draco."
"Have fun!" Hermione yelled as she and Ginny headed upstairs and Storm headed down to the dungeons.
