Chapter three
- Hermione spent a few hours in the Gryffindor common room and had some fun with her friends. Then, she took her suitcases and said good bye to everybody. Just as she went outside the portrait of the Fat Lady, she suddenly realized something. I don't know where the Head boy and girl room is! She remembered. Maybe I can ask a teacher or something…
- She dragged her heavy suitcases and went down the stairs. She walked around and around, trying to find a teacher or a friendly ghost but was unsuccessful. Suddenly, a tall, white-blond haired boy walked up to her with a smirk on his face.
- "Are you lost?" The boy laughed. "I've been watching you. You've been going around in circles for the past 10 minutes."
- Hermione sighed. "Ok fine you win this time. I need to know where the head boy and girl and prefect room is. I don't have time to argue or whatever, I'm too tired for that."
- Malfoy had a triumphant grin on his face. "Follow me." Hermione picked up her suitcases again. Malfoy turned back and saw Hermione struggling to carry all of her luggage. He suddenly felt guilty and pitied her. What am I doing? Pitying a mudblood? He thought. It's only going to happen just this once… "Do you need help with that?" He asked softly, as if he was shy.
- Hermione seemed stunned. It was unlike Malfoy to offer her anything. "No. I'm fine."
- "Are you sure? You look like you can use some help…" Malfoy asked. Hermione shook her head. Malfoy shrugged and continued to keep walking. He seemed sincere, Hermione thought. But you never know…

- "Ok we're here." Malfoy announced glumly. "The password is hippogriff."
- Hermione nodded. She said the password and went inside and was followed by Draco. There were about 4 people in the common room. They were the 4 prefects named Tony McMillan from Gryffindor, Beth Roberts from Ravenclaw, Alyson Whisp from Hufflepuff and Sam Fidget from Slytherin . Hermione noticed Draco was gone and figured he went back outside.
- "Hey Hermione!" Beth greeted. "Like, oh my God I'm so happy that you're like, the head girl!"
- "Yeah, so am I…" Hermione smiled weakly. "I'll be back, I'll just take my stuff upstairs." She turned to her left, rushed up the stairs and opened what she thought was the girls' dormitory. Inside, she found Malfoy, completely topless, changing in the room.
- "I – I – I didn't mean to!" She quickly stammered and shut the door before Malfoy could say anything. She rushed back down and went to the stairs on the right. The 4 prefects were chatting care freely. They looked at her strangely and she turned red and ran to the real girls' dorm.
- As she went in the room and put her things on her bed, she couldn't take her mind of everything that had happened. Ron staring at her, Harry and Ginny making out, Malfoy being nice to her…Malfoy being topless…no! She scolded herself. You cannot like a Malfoy! She grabbed one of her books and decided to read.

- The next couple of days have been hectic for Hermione. She was caught up with most of her homework and her head girl duties. She hardly had time to have fun with Harry, Ginny and Ron. Harry and Ginny however, have been acting strangely ever since the train ride. Their eyes always seemed to be laughing about something. Ron found it irritating and distracting but didn't say anything. He secretly wished Hermione was there to talk about it with.
- One night, Hermione went to the Head boy and girl room, feeling extremely tired and worn out. She wasn't having a good day. She, for once, had forgotten to do her Charms homework and had to do three extra pages. Not that it was a problem for her, for she could do it easily, but she just wanted to relax for once.
- "Hippogriff…" Hermione said in an exhausted voice to the portrait of an old man with a long beard. The door swung open and she stepped inside. "Finally! Away from it all!" She said loudly to herself, thinking the room was open.
- "Away from what?" A voice asked.
- Hermione stopped, feeling a little embarrassed. A figure rose from the couch and faced her. He smiled at her intimidatingly and slowly walked up to her.
- "Where's everybody else?" Hermione asked firmly. She could see his eyes dancing around her.
- "I don't know. Somewhere…" Draco answered. "I just came up here to relax, until you came…"
- "Well for your information, this isn't a private room you know." Hermione answered bitterly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd rather go to my room than spend my precious time here, arguing with a pathetic creature like you."
- Malfoy smirked. "Is that the best you can do Granger? Honestly, I thought we were going to have a truce. We're supposed to set an example."
- "Since when have you been a goody-goody?"
- "Since when have you been looking so beautiful?"
- That comment completely shocked Hermione. It felt like she was in the body-binding curse. "Wha – what d-d-did you s-say?" She asked even though she clearly heard what he said.
- "I said – never mind. Forget it. Forget this whole thing ever happened." Malfoy said gruffly and he went outside leaving Hermione speechless.

- Ron was sitting on the floor while munching on some chocolate frogs. Everyone in the common room was busy talking except for him. Harry and Ginny were sitting closely beside each other on the couch, giggling about something. Ron rolled his eyes and gazed upon the chair where Hermione used to sit when she did her homework or when she watched Harry and Ron play Wizard's chess. He sighed. He really missed her a lot. He stood up, realizing that there was nothing to do in the common room anyway, and went up to the boy's dormitory. He lay on his bed and took out a picture from underneath his pillow.
- He gazed at it longingly. It was a picture of him and Hermione laughing under a tree in Hogwarts. Hermione looked pretty in it, as her head tilted and her lovely curls tossed about. I wish she were here with me instead of with that Malfoy prat, Ron thought angrily. He slowly put the photo back under his pillow. Then, he heard noises.
- "Shhh…are you sure nobody's in here?" A girl's voice asked cautiously.
- "Yes I'm positively sure! Everybody's outside, having fun and talking." A boy's voice assured her. "It's safe."
- "Alright. But I'm still not sure…" The girl answered uncertainly.
- The boy whispered something and the girl giggled. Who the hell are these people? They know we're not allowed to go inside the opposite sex's room! Ron thought. All of a sudden, he heard kissing noises. Okay that's it if they're gonna make out I don't wanna be here! He stood up and saw Ginny lying on a bed in the far, far corner with Harry on top of her.
- "Ginny? Harry?" Ron bellowed. "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU GUYS DOING?"
- "Uhh…" Ginny said uncertainly. Harry slowly got off her.
- "It's not what you think, Ron. We weren't doing – you – you know…" Harry stammered.
- "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WERE DOING OR WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO!" Ron yelled angrily. "That's why I didn't want you to start falling for my sister! And I can't believe you Harry! Taking advantage of her like that…"
- "Ron I think I'm old enough to decided what should or shouldn't happen to me." Ginny fought back. "I can protect myself."
- "That's what you think!" Ron spat.
- "Ron, you know I'd never, ever take advantage of Ginny. You know that don't you?" Harry asked with very guilty eyes.
- "I don't know anymore." Ron answered firmly.
- "I'd never have you-know-what with her until we're old enough and if she really wants to." Harry continued. "I really love your sister, Ron. I hope you understand. It' just like how you feel for Herm-"
- "Don't even mention her name!" Ron said angrily. "Nobody knows what I feel for Hermione! Nobody understands so I wouldn't talk! I'm leaving now so you can go back to what you two were doing. I don't care anymore!" Ron stomped away and added, "And if you get pregnant Ginny, it's not my fault." He opened the door and slammed it shut leaving Ginny and Harry's mouth hanging open in disbelief and guilt.
- A/n: Ok sorry if that got a little yeah…it's really hard for me to write about stuff like this! It makes me feel all weird! Anyway, please review!
