Chapter 3

Draco woke up the next morning with a start. Through the walls, he could hear someone scream in frustration and some rustling. Startled, he got out of his bed and went to the next room. He knocked on the door and was greeted with an angry Hermione.

"Erm, Granger? Do you mind keeping it down a bit? Some normal people are still sleeping. I mean, it's only 8 o' clock and it's Saturday for Merlin's sake!" Draco said groggily. He was answered with Hermione turning her back to him and continuing to search her room frantically. She groaned angrily again and screamed in frustration.

"Granger? What's wrong?" Draco asked, concern showing in his voice. He asked uncertainly, "Do you need help or something? Not that I want to help you, it's just that I want to get back to sleep and I can't sleep with you yelling and screaming." He added quickly.

Hermione nodded and replied, "I'm looking for.. a book. It has the letters HG on it, and I seemed to have misplaced it. It's black and the letters are written in white. Have you seen it somewhere, Malfoy?"

Draco said nothing as he walked to the common room. He searched the couches, pretending to look even though he knew where it was already. After a couple of minutes of fake searching, he called out, "Granger, is this it?" He held the book high in the air, waiting for a response.

Hermione came out of the room and squealed, taking the book from his hands and hugging him tightly. She didn't even notice that she was crying, or that she was hugging one of her worst enemies. Coming to her senses, Hermione quickly let Draco go and wiped at her tear stained face.

"Thanks Malfoy. I almost pissed my pants when I thought that I lost this." She remarked, holding up the book. "Sorry for hugging you, I got a bit carried away there." Draco noticed that she was blushing a bit, and he could feel himself blushing too.

"Granger, do you want to pick out the music for the Autumn Ball today? We could start now, since I'm already up." Draco said hesitantly. Hermione nodded and went to her room. She came back with a pile of strange circular things in little cases. Draco cocked an eyebrow at her.

"They're called CD's, Malfoy." Seeing his blank look, Hermione continued, "They have all the Muggle music on them. Here, pass me that over there." She pointed to her see through blue CD player. Draco handed it to her and watched curiously. Hermione placed the headphones on his head, inserted a disc into the player, and turned it on.

Draco yelled, "GRANGER! I LIKE THIS SONG! WHAT'S IT CALLED?" Hermione giggled and motioned for him to stop yelling.

"It's called Drops of Jupiter, by Train. I love that song too, one of my favorites. Will you write that down on the list, Malfoy?" Looking at Draco thoughtfully, Hermione added, "Er, Malfoy? Since we're going to practically be living together, do you think we could call each other by our first names? You know, be civil towards each other?"

Draco looked up, surprised. He then asked, "You mean like some sort of truce?" Hermione nodded her head slowly, and he continued, "Yeah, I guess that would be alright. But that doesn't mean we're friends. You know, unless we become friends on accident or something like that. Yes, I would be alright if you called me Draco."

Hermione smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Hermione Ann Granger."

Draco took her hand and replied, "Hello Hermione. My name is Draco Lucius Malfoy. Very pleased to meet you." He returned her smile, and they went back to picking songs. At the end of the day, they had a complete list of songs, including slow songs and fast songs, old and new.

Hermione said goodbye to Draco and went to give the list to Katie and Roger for approval. On her way to Katie and Roger's room, Hermione thought about the strange truce she had made with Malfoy. 'No, it's Draco now.' She reminded herself. She smiled and said quietly, "Draco."
