A/N: Wah!!! My reviews stopped coming in! Pleae reveiw. My stitches are gone so I should be able to type faster now.


"Alright. " Hermione said dropping a pile of bookd in front of the fireplace. " I got a few books from the libary for the report." Draco looked at the small moutain of books. "Trolls through the Ages", "What really happened at Troll Run", "The year 1678", " Trolls: Beasts of War" and of course "Hogwarts :A History ". "Think you have enough Granger? "

"Well..I did see some in the libary I thought might help. Mabye I should go back and get them?" she said worrying her lip.

"Calm down Granger, I was joking. " he picked up "Trolls through the Ages", "Granger, you worrry too much." he sat down on the green chair.

"What's wrong with wanting my work to be my best?" she said sitting down with "The year 1678"

"Nothing , as long as you don't get obessed Granger."

" That's easy for you to say."

" What do you mean by that?"

" Your'll always be accepted in this world Malfoy. While I have to work to earn any acceptence here. You have it so easy. I'l always be know as the muggleborn. "

" You are a mudblood. Your'll always be a mudblood. Face the fact Granger."

" Alright Malfoy, why are purebloods better everyone else? Voldemort was half blooded anyway."

" Becuase we are Granger. " Draco stood up. "I'm going to go shower before you get your mudblood germs on me."

Hermione closed the book and rested her head back. What is with him? He sleeps in my bed, I wake up with his arms around me and he still acts like he always as. You'd think he'd be at least more polite. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in" Hermione called. Ginny ran in and hugged her best friend. " Hey Hermione! How are things with Malfoy? " she said. She looked over at the Head Boy's door and saw the sign. "Oh! He's staying in Slytherin?"

" No, he's staying with me. Please don't tell the boys. I don't want blood on my carpet." Ginny walked into Hermiones room and saw the green couch and trunk. "Where is he?"

" In the shower." Hermione told her sitting on her bed.

" Have you gone through his trunk yet?" Ginny knelt to the trunk.

"Of course not. I'm Head Girl. I can't go snooping throguh his things."

" Yes you can. Think of it Hermione, he might have dark magic things in there. You know we're still rounding up Death Eaters. "

" Oh alright! " Hermione actully had been tempted to look inside.

Ginny and Hermione lifted the lid. School robes, pant, tee's, socks and "Boxers" Ginny said holding up a pair of green boxers with sliver writing saying "Mama's Boy". Hermione and Ginny giggled. Some Quidditch magazines, school books, and underneath all of that was a very old obvisaly magical book. Hermione tried opening it. " Werid this one won't open. " She pulled harder on the cover. "Here, let me try." Ginny tried pulling the cover open.

"It won't open for you. It only opens for Malfoys. " a cold voice coming from the bathroom door said. Ginny and Hermione looked up to see Draco standing there with a towel wrapped around him. "Get out Weasley." he said in a calm fury. "I need to talk to Granger alone."

Ginny started to protest. "It was my idea!"

"But I should have said no. Go on Ginny."

"Hermione are you sure?"

"GET OUT WEASLEY!!!" Draco roared. Ginny ran out into the common room and through the door marked Gryffindor.

"Having fun Granger?" he said once Ginny had left. He pointed his wand at the door " Infragilis Occludo! "

"Malfoy I can explain-"

"Explain what?! That I was stupid enough not to my trunk locked while sharing this hellhole with you?!?!" He pointed at his wand at his thing they had pulled out. " Vexo!" and they flew back into his trunk. " I can't belive you Granger!! That's you even for a mudblood!!"

Hermione felt tears pricking her eyes. I am not goign to sit here and cower like a Hufflepuff! She stood up. " If I'm such a dirty nasty mudblood why were you holding me with a deathgrip last night Malfoy?! What?! You thought I didn't know?!" she said seeing his shocked face.

"I don't bloody know!!" Draco yelled. " I was just as surpised as you were! I have no bloody clue how you got there!!! AND DON'T CHANGE THE DAMM SUBJECT!!!! WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME THINGS!!!! WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU LOOKING FOR?!?!?"

Hermione opened her mouth , but Draco pointed his wand at her " Vox Vocis Silentium! No Granger your going to listin! Your damm lucky that book didn't open on you! That" he sneered " is the Malfoy rulebook. I placed a charm on it so no but a Malfoy could open it. If you had managed to open it, becuase you are not Malfoy that book would have ripped your soul out of your body and leave you a hollow shell. Your a witch Hermione. What kind of witch goes snopping through magical items without knowing what they do?!! Now if you don't mind I'm going to go gt dressed." He turned and left her speechless.

About ten minutes later Draco walked out of the bathroom in black sweatpants and a black tee that read " I am king. " on it. He saw his trunk was clossed wiht a note on it.

Thanks,

Hermione

He looked over at the bed were Hermione was laying curled up under her blanket. He heard sniffling. She's crying... Flashback:

8 year old Draco walked into his mom's room with a storybook for her to read. he found his mom laying on her bed, her eyes red form crying, tears still on her cheeks.

"Mum, what's wrong? Did Daddy make you cry again? " he hugged her. " Don't worry Mum. Things will be better soon. " She wiped at her eyes. " Promise me your'll never do this. "

" I promise Mum. " End Flashback

Draco sat next to Hermione and placed a hand on her shoulder. " Come on Graner. Where's that Gryffindor courage I'm always hearing about? " She looked up at him surpised. She tried talking but no sound came out. He lifted up his wand. " Vox Vocis Recro. "

" I'm sorry." she said quietly tears still coming down.

" No, I'm sorry 'Mione. I didn't mean to make you cry."

" Why are you being so nice?"

" A promise I made to my Mum a long time ago. I'm trying to keep it. And you grow on peoplee Granger."

She sniffed. "Really?"

Draco laughed. " Yeah, you do. Amazing isn't it?"

" Yeah ." she laughed and wiped her face. " I'm going to go clean up. You can sleep here again if you want too. "

" You sure I'm not going to do anything to you?" he said grinning.

" I'm not sexy enough 'member? " she stuck her tounage out.
