~*~*~*~Draco's POV~*~*~*~
He rolled over in bed and groaned when he heard his alarm clock ringing (a wizarding one). He had only gotten about 4hrs sleep before the sound of something at his window. Apparently his mother thought that she should send him his DADA book that he had left at home. Only problem was she decided to send it so that it would arrive at 4am.
After he had sent the owl away he went and crawled back into bed to try to sleep more, but no such luck. He ended up lying there until 6 when he finally drifted off to sleep again. The next thing to wake him was the incessant ringing of his alarm clock at 8.
He groaned again remembering that it was a Sunday and there was no need to get up early. When he tried to fall back asleep again, but found it was no use. He was up for the rest of the day.
He decided to go take a shower before going down to the Great hall to have breakfast (A/N: breakfast it from 8-10 on weekends and 7-9 on weekdays). He tried the door to the bathroom and found that it was unlocked. Decided this meant it was deserted, he walked in. He got a major shock once in there though.
Granger was just stepping out of the shower. He stood there in complete shock, but couldn't help but notice what a great figure she had, (A/N: I know what your think, Don't worry she already had a towel wrapped around her).
She turned around and let a very high-pitched scream. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE MALFOY? DIDN'T YOU EVER HEAR OF KNOCKING?"
"Ever heard of locking a door? How the hell was I supposed to know you were in here? I had no clue you were in here Granger and I had absolutely no way of knowing!! So don't go blaming your forgetfulness on me!"
"Gee, I'm sorry. But incase you haven't noticed, your not the one standing here almost completely naked! I don't have the time to play who's fault was it? With you right now. So would please be nice to me for once and get your sorry ass the hell out of here now!!!!!"
"Granger, A) this is not my fault, B) I did notice and C) why don't you get out of here? You've already taken your shower and I need to take mine so I can get to the Great Hall before breakfast is over. So why don't YOU do ME a favor and move your ass out of here!"
"I was in here first Malfoy! If you want in that bad your going to have to wait for 10 minutes so I can get dressed and do my hair! Yes Malfoy", she said with a smirk at the surprised look that had appeared on his face after she had said how long he had to wait, " I, unlike most females, only take 10 minutes to get ready in the morning, 12 if I leave my hair down!"
"Fine~ I'll wait 10 minutes but I'll walk right back in here if it takes even one second longer!"
"Do you really want to see me naked that bad Malfoy?" she again smirked at his uneasiness.
"Don't flatter yourself Granger! I would never think of seeing some of your class naked!"
"Yea, right! Just get out now Malfoy or you'll miss your breakfast!"
Draco glared at her one last time then looked down a little and noticed the bruises on her arms. He looked back up and saw fire in her eyes and decided that it would probably be best to leave now.
~*~*~*~*~*~
When Granger was finally finished, Draco went in to take his shower. He let the warm water run against his muscles. It felt oddly relaxing, considering his muscles weren't even tense.
His thoughts turned to the bruises that Granger had on her arms. 'They look like the result of a fight.or a beating' he cringed slightly at this thought. 'Wait, am I caring for Granger?' his Malfoy half thought. 'Yes but what does it matter? I mean No one needs that. I mean yes that would explain her change and I wanted to know why but still.'. 'Still what? You were NOT raised to care in any way for mudbloods'. 'I, Draco, no longer consider her a mudblood! She deserves to be a witch more that most purebloods do!' 'SHUT UP both of you!'
Finally the voices shut up. He climbed out of the shower and grabbed a towel to dry himself off. He then grabbed the fresh pair of boxers he had brought with him and put them on. He put the towel around his shoulders and walked out.
He was surprised to find that Granger was still in the common room. He looked at her and couldn't help but think that she looked really pretty (A/N: cheesy yes but what can I say?). She looked up and met his eyes. They were cold as stones and they greatly surprised him. The only other people, that he knew, with eyes this cold and hard, were his father and himself.
This factor also kind of scarred him. She must have been through some serious shit in order for her to go this cold. Yes he had realized she was cold just not that cold!
He broke the stare and turned abruptly into his room slamming the door behind him.
~*~*~*~Hermione's POV~*~*~*~
She looked up to see Malfoy had exited the bathroom. She was still a little upset about him walking in on her but she had decided that it was not all his fault. She HAD been the one to leave the door unlocked. Anyway, a fight wasn't a good start to the year and probably not the best thing if she wanted to call a truce.
She met his cold gaze with an equally cold one. She started to see a few different things flicker through his eyes. Mostly sleepiness but she noticed that the longer he stared, things like surprise then fear flickered through them.
He suddenly broke their stair and entered his bedroom, slamming his door behind him. 'OK, I wonder what brought that on' Hermione wondered. Why was the o' so evil Draco Malfoy showing fear when he looked at her? Not that she really cared that much, she was just curious.
~*~*~*~*~*~
She was still sitting in the exact same spot when Malfoy exited his room again.
"Hey Malfoy! You know the Prefect/Head meeting today?"
"Yes."
"How 'bout we have it right after classes today in the Prefect common-room? You tell Zambini and Padma and I'll tell Ginny and Justin, ok?". "Good" she said not even waiting for his answer. "Oh one more thing, I say we call a truce, no more nasty names and we try to get along. However, this does not mean that we have to be friends. We would still call eachother Granger and Malfoy and if we need to fight it can be done when we're in here. We just need to set an example for younger students. Deal?"
She looked at Malfoy as he nodded, totally lost for words.
"Good. I'll see you later Malfoy and please remember to tell them."
With that she walked out of the room and headed to breakfast, leaving Malfoy there still looking totally stunned at how straight forward she'd been and how little emotion she showed while saying that whole thing. Also, she had totally told him what to do AND she got away with it without him getting mad in any way, shape or form.
'Must have really scared him this morning. I have no idea how but I think I like being able to tell him what to do." She thought with a smirk as she neared the wooden doors leading to the Great Hall. 'I really must figure out what scared I'm so bad so I can do it more often!'
