"You didn't need to do that!" Hermione shouted at Draco as they left the Great Hall. She hurried to keep up with him as he blatantly ignored her and strode down the long corridor.
"Did you say something Granger? I mean, I keep seeing your mouth move, but all I hear is this strange screeching," he paused, thoughtfully, for a moment, and then added.
"It reminds me of the sound of a dying cat. Hmmmmm, how odd," he smirked, pondering this statement for a moment.
"I'm sorry, for some reason, I was under the impression that we'd all grown up. How stupid of me to think that we could all be civilized at seventeen!" Hermione laughed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You're a dick Malfoy."
"Well, now that you mention it-"
"Oh, gross! Bloody hell, that's not what I meant!" Hermione gagged.
"Hey, you said it, not me! I know you find me incredibly sexy, I mean, who doesn't! I'm as good as they come, not that you could even sit near someone like me, mudblood."
"Oh please! Don't flatter yourself! My standards are a bit higher than 'self-centered prick'," she smiled sweetly.
"I don't suppose speaking English is a requirement though. I mean, you dated the bumbling Krum idiot, nice bloke," Draco shot back.
"How could you even understand him? He could have told you that you looked like a truck and you'd have no flippin' idea! Some standards!"
Hermione opened her mouth to protest when she realized that they had arrived at Dumbledores' office.
"Ms. Granger, Mr.Malfoy, please come in, I've been expecting you," said the old headmaster, with a twinkle in his eye. They climbed the winding stone staircase, both attempting to step on each others' robes and send the other tumbling back down the stairs. Dumbledore entered and Draco held the door open for Hermione.
"After you, oh cranky one," he said, giving a deep bow. Hermione scowled and swept past him into the office.
"Have a seat," Dumbledore said, after he had magically conjured up some chairs.
"Now, as you remember from last year, we had our Yule Ball. It seems that the students enjoyed themselves immensely, and who am I to stand in the way of some good fun. I have decided that as Head Girl and Boy, you will be in charge of organizing another Yule Ball. Don't worry," he added as Hermione opened her mouth.
"You will have a team to help you, made up of the younger Prefects. I do hope the you were informed by your House Heads that the reason we couldn't have you move into your new quarters due to a boggart infestation problem that we had. I'm happy to let you know that your new quarters are now ready for you to move in, your things are being moved up there at this very moment," the headmaster smiled as Draco and Hermione glared at each other.
"In order to accommodate the meeting for the Yule Ball, you will be using the Room of Requirement. It is up to the two of you to decide when to hold the meetings and here is a list of all of the Prefects that will be assisting you," Dumbledore passed Draco the list, which was snatched out of his hands almost immediately by Hermione. Dumbledore dismissed them and they began the trek back to the Great Hall.
"Hmmm, so, living together? That could get interesting," Draco suggested.
"You make me want to hurl," Hermione stated simply as if it were as normal as the sun coming up everyday.
"You know you want me."
"You know what, you're right Malfoy. I can't keep it inside any longer," Hermione said moving towards him. Draco was completely caught off guard. Hermione leaned towards him and he closed his eyes. But all that came was a whisper in his ear,
"Bite me."
His angry eyes flew open just in time to catch a glimpse of her disappearing through the doors into the Great Hall.
