The next morning the two other girls came up to change their clothes and
found Draco and Hermione wrapped around each other, both sleeping
peacefully. They both giggled and blushed at the sight and they turned and
walked quietly out of the room. "You know we should tell Professor
McGonagall about this?" "Yeah. Let's go." They got dressed as fast as they
could and ran off to find the teachers.
When Draco woke up he was aware of two things. The first being that this most definitely wasn't a sleeping bag on the floor. The second being that what he had his arms around was clearly not a pillow or blanket. He opened his eyes and came face to face with Hermione. The whole night suddenly came flooding back to him and he smiled at the girl in his arms. They were facing each other, their legs intertwined, her arms wrapped loosely around his waist. Draco stared at her for a while amazed, wondering how he had never noticed how beautiful she was before. When he finally looked up at the clock, he moved out of Hermione's embrace and crawled out of the bed.
The sudden loss of warmth caused Hermione to stir and wake up. She sat up slowly as Draco started out of the room. "Draco," she said sleepily. Her voice stopped him in his tracks. He turned around and went over to her. As he sat down on the edge of the bed he said, "Morning." She gave him a cautious smile. " Morning to you too." An awkward silence hung in the air for a few moments. "Look about last night…" The young girl from Ravenclaw interrupted Hermione. She burst into the room with a bright smile. " Nice to see you're awake. Dumbledore wants to see the two of you in his office. NOW. He says whether you're dressed or not." With that she ran from the room. Draco and Hermione shared a nervous glance. They had no choice, so they went to Dumbledore's office. In their pajamas.
Albus Dumbledore couldn't hide his smile as Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy walked into his office. Draco was clad only in a pair of boxer shorts and Hermione in an oversized t-shirt. As they sat down in the chairs in front of his desk he gave them a grave look. "Now I understand that the two of you were found in, uh hum, a very interesting position this morning," he said. Hermione reached over and clutched Draco's hand, terribly afraid that this would affect her grades on some level. He was surprised but didn't attempt to shake her off. "Now I realize that you are both young and sometimes you have feelings that can't be controlled, but…" Never in his life had Draco Malfoy's porcelain like face turned such a bright shade of red. "No sir really it was just that…" he stuttered. "Sir, Draco was just telling me about what's been wrong and why. We didn't DO anything like that. We just talked and slept. Granted in the same bed but…" Hermione spoke up. "Well. If that's all. Just try to stay out of the dorms for the rest of the holiday. You're free to get dressed and then go to breakfast." The pair let out a sigh of relief and got up. Albus grinned freely when he saw that their hands were clasped as they walked away.
