Chapter Six

That night dragged on for the most part except when all the kids were in their dorms, about 10 minutes before Draco and I had to leave, we finally got to be alone. That happened to be the highlight of my evening.
"Well Malfoy," I said walking towards him, "I hope you enjoyed your evening."
"It could've been better." He said to himself.
"What was that? I couldn't here over your hissing."
"I'm not the parselmouth at Hogwarts, remember."
"Oh I'm sorry, did I say hissing?"
"So, predicting the future are you?"
"Not yours."
"What, do you like it when we argue."
"Doesn't it turn you on?"
"Perhaps."
"Well then, Draco, I best be off to get some sleep a bit jet-lagged."
"You know, you aren't as smart as you seem. Jet-lagged Hermione? Is that just one of your excuses that you make?"
"As long as it gets me away from you." I said in a teasingly voice.
"I see how it is. Don't want to get caught out of your room."
"No I just want to be awake during the first lessons. Now I'm going to bed. Good night Malfoy."
He just mumbled something that I couldn't make out. I think it involved the word, snog. So like a guy to only want to snog.
When I arrived at my Head Room there was an owl waiting for me on my bed.
"Errol, what are you doing here?" I spoke uselessly asked the bird. I knew who it was from, Ginny of course. The brid had been passed down to her when Ron had gotten Pig. I grabbed the note from Errol and pulled some bread out of my pocket to feed him. Iwonder where Crookshanks is, probally strolling the grounds since Errol is still alive. That cat will attack anything it can get it's sharp claws on.

Dear Hermione,

How'd it go? I am DYING to hear what happened in the train with Draco. He seemed pleased to be sitting by you on the carriage. Send me with a reply. THink that we could meet in the Head bathroom? Send Errol back to me I'll be up.

Ginny

Finally I could tell somebody. It's been eating me up inside not knowing how to descipher this. I took out some parchment and replied.

Dear Ginny,

The time now is about 10 o'clock meet me in front of the head bathroom at 10:15 or sooner if you can. I'll tell you every detail. Please help me figure this all out.

Hermione

I took my bathrobe out of my trunk to bring with me into the Head Bathroom so I could soak in the bath while talking to Ginny. I wanted to get there early so I could start drawing the water in the tub and pick the scent of bubbles that I wanted. I exited my room and walked down the corridor towards the bathroom. To my surprise Ginny was there all ready.
"How'd you get here so fast?" I questioned.
"Nevermind that, let me hear what happened." She responded.
"Let's go inside first. Orange Aid." I said as I puched the door open.
"Wow." was all that Ginny could respond with.
"Hey, do you mind if I take a bath while we talk. There are some couches over there that you can rest on."
"Yeah no problem."
I picked out some Vanilla fizzy bubbles that massage every single inch of your body.
"We kept getting interrupted whenever something interesting was going to happen." I finished after I wrapped myself into my snug bathrobe.
"Ha, 'Do I not smell minty fresh?' That was great Hermione. Well It seems to me that he likes you but don't be too sure. Let him pull the line out a little further than reel him in."
"What am I a fisherman?"
"Obviously not, what I mean is that you need to want you some more, then want him back. Don't seem too easy."
"Easy for you to say. Hard for me to do."
The there was a noise coming from the entrance of the bathroom. And someone entered the bathroom.
"Ginny, that's probably Draco, I'll take care of this."
I walked to the front leaving Ginny on the couch playing with her hair.

"What are you doing here Granger?" Draco said with a wink knowing that someone was in the bathroom with her.
"Draco, you don't have to do that, it's just Ginny, she knows." I responded in sort of a laugh.
"Oh," he said looking shocked and confused, "OOOHhh she knows I understand."
His face held a strange expression like he was constipated and really happy at the same time.
"Are you all right Draco? Would you like us to leave so you can use the bathroom?"
"I'm just peachy thanks. No point for oyu to leave, we can share."
"Well I was just finishing and Ginny and I were having a private discussion. That is why I came in here was to have some privacy."
"Do you think that you could take your conversation elsewhere?"
"Excuse me? We happened to be here first."
"Well, I do not have to leave."
"Neither do I."
"Hermione," Ginny stepped in, "let the man bathe, we can talk in your room, or perhaps my Prefect room."
"Yeah Granger, listen to your, what is she your friend, friend and leave."
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Goodnight, Malfoy."
