Hermione woke the next day to the sunlight streaming through her balcony door. She opened the door and heard voices outside. She looked outside and saw a lot of students playing around and hanging out.
"Geez. How late did I sleep?" she asked herself. She looked at her watch. It was 11:30 in the morning.
"Thank god it's a Saturday." she muttered and walked to the bathroom, not spotting Draco anywhere. His bedroom door was sill closed. Probably still sleeping. She took a shower and was very happy her hair was back to normal and she no longer had blue lip gloss. Her robes had transformed back to normal, not like it mattered because it was a weekend.
She took a rather quick shower and dried her hair with a simple charm. When she was dressed (wearing a red and black high necked sweater and a pair of blue jeans), she headed to the Great Hall for lunch, stopping by the kitchens for a cup of hot chocolate.
She sat down at the table her and Draco had to sit at for meals but was sitting alone, since Draco wasn't there. She ate her meal, occasionally looking over at Ron and Harry. Ron was facing the opposite way and Harry was facing her. She scowled at him and he seemed emotionless. She couldn't bare to even look at them. She got up and left. She didn't even know somebody was following her.
She sat down by the lake and threw rocks, skipping them along the water's surface. Someone sat down next to her.
"I'm sorry Hermione." said Ron.
"I don't care." she said with a shrug.
"You know I would never call you a mudblood." said Ron. Hermione faced him, tears in her eyes.
"That's what I thought Ron. I thought you really did like me. But you just changed." said Hermione.
"What are you talking about?"
"When I was in the Hospital Wing, how often did you visit me?" Hermione asked.
"What does thi-"
"Just answer the question Ron." Hermione said. Ron thought for a moment.
"About every 2 or 3 days." he said. Hermione nodded, biting her lip.
"You know what? You were my boyfriend at the time and Draco was still my enemy. But even he visited me more." said Hermione.
"What does Malfoy have to do with this? And why are you calling him Draco now? Are you two buddies? You're such a traitor." Ron spat.
"I call him Draco because that's his name. And just because I'm friends with a Slytherin means I'm a traitor? Not all Slytherin's are bad." Hermione said. Ron got to his feet and Hermione followed suit.
"This isn't just a Slytherin! It's Malfoy! You've met his father!" shouted Ron.
"You stupid git! You don't even know him! Just because his father is a jerk doesn't mean he is!" Hermione shouted back.
"I don't care Hermione! I don't care about him! " he shouted back.
"Well, I do!"
~~~
Hermione suddenly realized what she had said. Ron had a look of horror on his face.
"You fancy him?"
Hermione clamped a hand over her mouth and ran away, not even carrying about all the curious looks people were giving the pair.

[i]
It was ludicrous! Hermione Granger having feels for Draco Malfoy? Yeah right. And then pigs fly and everyone lives happily ever after. Hypothetically, lets say she did like him. What would the Gryffindors say?
Or worst of all, what would the Slytherins say?
Not only is she a Gryffindor but she is a muggle born Gryffindor. That's as low as it goes.
And what are the possibilities of Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin King, even looking at Hermione that way.[/i]
Hermione was sitting on the couch in the common room, staring into the fire, appalled at the idea of her having even the smallest crush on Draco Malfoy. It was impossible, unheard of.
Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Draco's door opening.
"Good afternoon." she said quietly but loud enough for him to hear, still staring into the fire.
"Afternoon? What time is it?" he asked.
"12:03." Hermione said, smiling.
"It's that hot chocolate." said Draco. Hermione looked out the window and saw the 7th year Gryffindors sitting by the lake, obviously having a good time.
"I'm going to go for a walk." said Hermione, standing up.
"Mind if I come?" asked Draco. Hermione shrugged.
"You can come if you want."
They walked outside, not really talking about much, just small talk. They had stopped by the kitchens for Hot Chocolate, of course.
"You're really quiet." said Draco. Hermione just shrugged.
"I guess you could say I'm a little irritated." said Hermione, she looked over to the lake and Draco followed her gaze. They were steadily getting closer to the Gryffindors. Bad choice but Hermione insisted on it.
"Well, if it isn't the traitor herself." said Seamus.
"Shut up Seamus. This isn't your fight." said Hermione, glaring at him. Seamus stood up and made a move for Hermione.
"Sit down." came a cool voice from behind Hermione. It was Draco, of course. Out of fear, Seamus sat down.
"Ron, we need to talk. Alone." said Hermione.
"Do you've got something to say that you can't say it in front of friends?" asked Seamus.
"Shut up." Hermione snapped at him again.
"Why should I listen to you?" snapped Seamus.
"Because I'm Head Girl, and I'll give you a months worth detention for disrespecting." said Hermione.
"I don't care." said Seamus, standing up.
"Obviously." Hermione said. She stared intently at him. Why did he care so much? Part of her just wanted to push him into the lake but that would make matters worse.
"Look, Hermione, if you can't say it in front of us then leave." said Lavendar. Hermione just looked at them. 7 years of friendship thrown away. She was surprised when she didn't care.
"I don't know what Ron told you, and honestly I don't care. Ron's just mad because I wouldn't forgive him for calling me a mudblood. I bet he left that part out of the story didn't he?" Hermione said. Everyone looked at Ron. "Harry knew about it. He was there when Ron said it but I bet you didn't say anything, did you Harry?"
"Hermione, don't." Harry said.
"Don't what? Don't drag you into this? Yes, god forbid I drag you into this because it might make girls realize how big of a jerk you are?" said Hermione.
"Don't talk to him like that!" Lavender shouted, standing up.
"And you? I never liked you to begin with. All you are about is gossip. Remember last year when someone started that nasty rumor about Neville and me? Yeah, I found out who started it." said Hermione. Lavender sat down.
"I can't believe the rest of you though. 7 years of friendship and you want to throw it all away? Well, you know what?" Hermione looked directly at Ron who was now looking very sorry.
"I don't need it." she said. She took out her coin from the D.A. Club and threw it in the lake. "And I don't need you."
She walked away, Draco walking with her. She began to cry. She sat on a bench out of view and cried.
"Hermione." Draco said quietly. Hermione looked up at him.
"What did Ron say earlier?" asked Draco. She sighed and wiped her eyes. She told him the whole conversation that took place earlier. When she was done Draco hugged her.
"Well, I guess I forgot to tell you something that will probably only make your day worse." Draco said. Hermione sighed. "The rest of the 7th year prefects are moving in to the tower tonight. That includes your dear friend Ron and my magnificent friend Pansy."
Hermione swore loudly (A/N: imagine what you would say if your ex boyfriend/girlfriend was practically moving in with you...)
"The meeting is in the library in about an hour." said Draco. Hermione put her head in her hands.
"This really sucks." she said, getting up and walking inside, Draco followed.
"That's the biggest understatement of the century." he said.

The 7th Year Prefect Meeting
~~~
Hermione and Draco had to sit in front of the room, looking at the Prefects as everyone waited for Dumbledore to show up.
~~~
Prefects for Gryffindor: Hermione Granger (also Head Girl) and Ronald Weasley
Prefects for Hufflepuff: Hannah Abbott and Ernie MacMillan
Prefects for Ravenclaw: Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil
Prefects for Slytherin: Draco Malfoy (also Head Boy) and Pansy Parkinson.
~~~
All 8 students sat in their seats, awaiting patiently for Dumbledore to show up. No one had any idea what was going on. Ron was whispering to Padma who looked up at Hermione and winced as Hermione looked back. Padma than leaned over to Hannah who shook her head and whispered to Pansy. Pansy scowled at Draco who was completely clueless.
"What are they whispering about?" Draco whispered to Hermione. She shrugged just as Dumbledore entered. They were all in the library.
"Thank you for meeting with me today, because I have something important to tell you." said Dumbledore.
"All of you will be moving into the Tower hat Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger currently share." said Dumbledore. The reactions to this one statement were amazing. Pansy looked like she could scream with excitement but she glared at Hermione. Ron looked like Christmas had been canceled and Everybody else looked confused.
"I refuse to move in with them." Ron spat.
"Mr. Weasley, you shall do what I say since I am the Headmaster at this school." said Dumbledore, surprised with Ron's objection.
"Oh Professor I think this will be a great idea!" Padma said. Padma and Hermione were relatively close because they both shared many similarities. The only time they talked though was at the Library but that was so often it was like they were sisters, not like Padma needed one.
"You all will be moving in by the night. You will work together on the theme for the Christmas Ball and Graduation. Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger are still in charge so you will follow their orders, with in reason of course." said Dumbledore.
No one really dared to argue. It would have been pointless anyway. Everyone left the Library and went straight to their dorms to pack. The would be meeting Draco and Hermione in an hour so they could see their new home for the year.
