"I'm not going to stay with him!" shrieked Hermione

"Neither am I!" shouted Draco.

"Now, now kids, calm down. It wouldn't be so bad after you get to know each other better." Said Dumbledore before leaving the compartment. "See you in Hogwarts!"

"Urrrgh!!!" Huffed Hermione.

Draco slumped down onto his seat and sulked for the rest of the journey.

"I'm not sleeping anywhere near that Mudblood." Thought Draco savagely.

Hermione slept peacefully throughout the whole journey. All Draco did was stare, stare and stare.

"She's so beautiful" whispered Draco, touching Hermione lightly on her cheeks.

Hermione stirred for a moment and returned to her deep sleep.

"Hermione! Wake up!" said Draco gently.

"Huufm?"

"We've reached Hogwarts"

"Oh goodness! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" shouted Hermione.

"Relax, we JUST reached, Granger." Snapped Draco.

Hermione sulked behind Draco as she climbed into the carriage after him. She was going to actually stay with him for the rest of the year and work. Her eyebrows furrowed together into a frown as she thought hard about Harry and Ron. What would they say?

"A sickle for your thoughts?" came a cold voice, interrupting Hermione.

Hermione looked up annoyingly and glared at Draco.

"It's none of your business, Malfoy." Snapped Hermione.

"Look Granger, we can't be on last name basis for the rest of the year when we're going to stay together ("I don't need you to remind me" mumbled Hermione sarcastically.) -Cough- so why don't we just make peace?" said Draco, heaving a big sigh.

Hermione eyed him suspiciously. He didn't seem like his usual self, smirking and all. He looked really sincere.

"Okay." mumbled Hermione, shaking hands with Draco.

Draco grinned and dragged her out of the carriage. When he realised what he was doing, he let go of Hermione, blushing profusely.

"Are my are playing tricks on me? Draco Malfoy - the sneering Slytherin is blushing?" Hermione thought to herself with a sneer.

"Hermione!" shouted Ron.

Hermione's eyes lighted up when she saw her best friends. She waved to them and ran towards the other side, forgetting all about poor Draco.

"Potter and Weasley." snarled Draco under his breath. "She's mine!"

"Draco? Are you okay?" asked a shrilly voice, annoying Draco more than ever.

It was Pansy Parkinson.

"It's none of your business, Pansy" snapped Draco, striding off to the great hall.

"Draco Malfoy called peace?" sneered Ron, rolling his eyes.

"He did so just TRY to be nice to him, or at least tolerate him." Said Hermione.

Harry snorted and strode off to the great hall, with Hermione and Ron bickering at his back.

Ron's mood didn't improve a single bit when Hermione told them that she had to stay with Draco for the rest of the year.

"Who knows what he'd to you, Hermione! Go tell Dumbledore you won't!"

Harry just shrugged and returned to his Yorkshire pudding.

Hermione hurried off to meet Dumbledore and Draco after lunch to be led to her new dormitory. She squealed happily when she found out that she was going to have a library all to herself, or rather with Draco. But Draco didn't seem the library type so she doubted that he'd be there often.

"Good night Hermione," muttered Draco under his breath before disappearing into his room.

Hermione felt weird hearing Draco calling him by her first name but shrugged it off her mind. She read 2 chapters from Hogwarts, A history and went to bed.
