After much trouble and struggling with the ropes, Malfoy finally got out of the contraption. "Stupid muggle devices.. Tie you there and leave you.. What the hell.." the boy mumbled as he threw the ropes as far away from him as possible before exiting Hermione's room. Opening and slamming doors, the only words out of his mouth were: "Granger, where the hell are you..?!" yet the girl was no where to be found. Sitting on the couch in the common room, fuming and eye narrowed, he decided that this was war. Either of them would do anything to beat each other in the end. And he was determined with all of his will to do just that. "Until she returns," he said outloud "I'll just wait here and think up something to do.."

After a half an hour of disguarding of all the clothes she had on and cursing herself for even thinking of putting them on, Hermione changed into her Hogwarts uniform and made her way back to the Head boy and girl's dorms. Saying the password to the painting, she stepped inside only to be welcomed to silence and a dimly lit room. "Hello?" her feet scuffled along with woven rug from underneath. Seeing a figure sitting on the couch, Hermione moved closer. "Malfoy is that you?" she quietly asked. No answer. The girl moved closer, as the figure grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let go.

"How nice of you to join me, Granger."

"Hmm. The feelings the same. How did you get out the ropes?" the girl asked looking up.

Glaring at her, Draco pulled her down beside him but wouldn't let go of her arm.

"My little secret." A smirk appeared on his face.

"Whatever, Malfoy. Just let me go." She ordered but he didn't move.

"No, I don't think I will. How about I make a fool of you like you did to me?" he asked and smile wider when she got the point.

"You would really stoop that low?"

"You did Granger. Actually I'm surprised at you. Never would I have thought the Head girl would dress up in slutty attire just to get back at her enemy." Hermione frowned as the memories came back to her.

"You deserved it, Malfoy."

But once more, he didn't want to believe or listen to her. Standing, he brought the girl to a standing position as well before throwing her back onto the couch.

"Ow.. Bastard." Was all she could manage before she tried to stand once more - only to be pushed back by Draco.

"Now you listen to me, Granger. You may be head girl and my 'partner' for the rest of the year, but you are in no way in control of me or my life. So I suggest that you never, ever do anything of what you pulled last night ever again towards me." He turned to leave for his room but stopped when he heard her voice yelling right back at him.

"And you know what, Malfoy? I could really give a damn. You can't tell me what to do and who to 'seduce', or have payback on. I know neither of us really like each other and all, but it would be in your best interest not to start anything with me, Ron, or Harry for awhile, or else."

He looked back to her over his shoulder. "Is that a threat you filthy mudblood?" Her eyes narrowed at the name.

"Maybe. Whets it to you anyways? You can always call on daddy to come save you. So something like Harry cursing you shouldn't be a prob-" Her voice was rising as he stepped closer to her, making her step back.

Before either of them knew it, though they were entranced in another kiss eyes closed as hands roamed bodies. Hermione realized what she was doing and with who before she pushed him away. "What the hell was that for?" the same question she had asked the first time they had kissed. Draco smirked and walked towards his door before answering. "I needed a way to shut up, Mudblood." And with that the boy opened and shut his door. "Bastard." Hermione said as she made her way to her own room, trying not to think about had happened.
