Yawning from the desk in the Prefect's Common Room, she stood up and stretched, closing her A. Potions textbook shut. The fire was burning peacefully in the grate next to her and the other prefects were sitting in squashy armchairs reading books or doing homework.

She looked around at the new room that she was not going to live in for the rest of the year. The banners for the four houses were hanging over their heads since the prefects came from all four of the Hogwart's houses. A portrait on the far side of the room was the entrance to their bathroom, clean, sparkling and filed with sweet-scented smells. A staircase on the right hand side lead to the dormitories for female prefects and staircases on the left lead towards the boys'.

How peaceful everything is in here. Hermione thought to herself. Prefects always do their homework, therefore making the room quiet and to my liking.

She smiled happily. She was going to enjoy being here.

Malfoy.

Her smile was wiped form her face. He's going to be here too. He'll annoy me all the time. How unfortunate.

Leaving her books on the table, she decided to visit Harry in the Gryffindor Common Room and see what he was up to. Deciding to take the shortcut through the Entrance hal, she reached it and saw a blonde-haired figure opening the door to go outside.

"Malfoy?"

He turned, surprised and quickly shut the door behind him. Hermione was surprised to see relief in his expression.

"H-Hermione!" he stammered.

Shocked, she went up to him. "I thought you were in the Hospital Wing! What are you doing out here?" and then adding as if an afterthought, "and what did you just say?" Realising with horror what he had called her, he transformed his expressions into his normal smirk and said with his usual drawl, "Granger. How surprising. Wondering around, planning to two-time on your boyfriend are you? Always knew you fancied Potter, but never knew you'd go so low as to cheat on Goyle as well."

Hermione's face stiffened. "Harry's only a friend."

Draco raised an eyebrow professionally and deepened his smrik. "If you'll excuse me, I'll head towards our Common Room."

He flashed her one last smirk and brushed past her, strolling in the way of the Prefect's Common Room.

Steaming and flushed, Hermione stormed her way to the Gryffindor Common Room.
