"Hermione, I'm going into the shower!" Draco called while ducking into the shower. Hermione had fallen asleep on the couch, and woke to a start. She didn't realize what Draco had said, so she opened the door to the bathroom, and almost fell over when she saw Draco butt naked about to step into the shower.
"Sorry!" she screamed, running away.
"Geez Granger!" Draco shouted. Both of them were blushing, Draco reached for a towel.
"Sorry! Sorry!" She continued to apologize, running into her room. She slammed the door, breathing heavy behind it. She slumped on her bed, and stared at the unicorns grazing in the nearby grass.
A couple of minutes later, Draco pounded on the door, "Granger...Hermione...open the door!"
Hermione obeyed, opening it slowly.
"So," he said with a sly smile, "Like peeking in the shower do we?"
"Shut up!" she cried.
"I have nothing to hide, Granger," he said, "But the question is, do you?"
"Look, I'm sorry, ok!" she said through the crack of the door, "I'm going downstairs for breakfast!"
"Now don't brag about what you saw!" Draco cried as she left.
"In your dreams!" she yelled.
She ran downstairs, trying to forget what she saw. That was WAY more Malfoy than I needed to see. she thought. When she got downstairs, she was greeted by a very much awake Ron and Harry.
"You will NOT believe what happened last night!" Ron said loudly. He was obviously still excited about whatever it was.
She sat down and smirked. "Mrs. Norris died," she guessed.
"Better," Harry said smiling.
"Okay. There was about 3 or four new girls that got sorted into Gryffindor, and they're all 7th years," Ron started. Harry picked up where he left off:
"There is 3 of them. And they're TRIPLETS...from America. They transferred from Los Angeles," Harry said grinning.
Suddenly, Seamus interrupted, "And they're blond! And hot! And...and...did I mention they're hot?"
Hermione shifted her position.
"They wanted to play spin-the-bottle, so we did!" Dean cut in, "All night!"
"And one wants to hook up with me!" Ron shouted. Then all of them started arguing over which one was the "most hot." Hermione sighed. She looked around, and didn't see the girls anywhere.
"Excuse me lover boys," Hermione said frankly, "But where exactly are these mystery women?"
"I don't know! They never showed up for breakfast!" Colin Creevy piped.
"Interesting," Hermione said to herself. Then she said to the group of the hormone-charged boys, "I have to go to the library. See you later."
Harry said bye to Hermione, but ended up looking like he said bye to Ron, because they were having a heated discussion about the triplets.
She tossed her hair bag, and found an extra ponytail in her jeans, and while walking to the library, fixed her hair into a loose, messy ponytail. She was in her "detective mode." Something wasn't right. 3 new girls show up mysteriously and don't show up during the day...she had to investigate. 6 previous years of going through mysteries like this made her anxious to get started.
"Let's see," she said to herself, thumbing through the book of "Magical Creatures," "Banshees, witches, werewolves..."
"Hermione Granger. What a surprise," a voice said from behind her. She whirled around and it was Draco.
"What are you doing here?" they both asked each other at the same time.
"Nothing, why are you here?" they said again.
"Stop doing that!" they both said together again.
"Granger! Don't do that!" Draco scolded laughing. Hermione liked his laugh. She hadn't heard it before. It was warm and soon, it made her burst into giggles.
After they stopped laughing, Draco seriously asked, "What do you think Dumbledore has in store for us?"
"I have no idea. I heard some team, E.Y.M.I.T.A., is evaluating schools, maybe it has to do something like that."
"Eyita?"
"Evaluation Youth Magical Institutions Technology Association."
"Whoa. Do you just memorize these things?" he asked.
"Shut up," she retorted sarcastically.
