YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER

Chapter 4: Just a fair day, is it?

Hermione woke up beside Draco who was sleeping like a child beside her. This was the first day Draco over slept since they moved in their new dormitory. He seemed such an innocent child when he was sleeping. But she was always interrupted by her thoughts that the man in front of her is the man who is the worst enemy of her best friend, Harry Potter. She didn't want things to be complicated but since first year their house rivalries had gone so far making it such a part of the day at Hogwarts. In their third year, she thought that Draco Malfoy was a man without a heart but now that theory was proven invalid. He truly cares for his mother. Being a bad boy was just a façade. Now she did have a reason to be with him and to accept him as her partner for he's not really a bad person after all.

She slowly moved to free herself in his arms when his hand caught her wrists.

"Why didn't you wake me up early, Granger?" Draco opened his eyes and smirked at her.

"I just woke up a minute ago, it's hard for me to let go of your arms. They are so heavy." Hermione immediately stood up.

"I see." Draco said and looked at his pocket watch. "It is about 30 minutes before our first lesson." Draco closed it and headed to the bathroom.

Hermione remembered that her things are still in the library. "Oh, my things! My essay!" She ran towards the bathroom and have a quick bath.

After 15 minutes Hermione was all set. She was surprised after locking her room when she saw Draco standing still near the portrait hole.

"We will be late if you will not hurry. We still have minutes to walk to the dungeons. Potions our first class together in the morning." Draco said leading her outside.

"But my bag? It's still in the library." Hermione said to him but before she could run to the hallway…

"Wait. It is here with me. Here. Dobby gave it to me this morning when I decided to have a quick toast for breakfast but I prefer to wait for you to hand you your bag." Draco said to her handling her bag.

"Thank you so much." Hermione said with a smile.

"You preserve your thank you's, Granger. I thought you were a responsible Gryffindor. You always left your things behind. You must be very thankful that you had me as your retriever." Draco said again with a smile.

"Yeah. I am very lucky." Hermione said then giggles. Draco looked at her amazed then he interrupted.

"Hurry, we will be late." Draco grabbed her hand and ran through the long hallway leading to the dungeons. As they were nearly approaching the doorway, Snape blocked their way in.

"Ah…Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger, the Head Boy and Girl, waking late this morning. That's not a proper behavior to wake late in the morning and running in the hallways of Hogwarts. Ten points from Gryffindor for not waking early in the morning, running in the hallway and leaving things in the library. Go inside and take your seats." Snape said then he let them passed.

"He is unfair. He doesn't take any points from you." Hermione said with a grin.

"Well, a reward for a nice retriever." Draco smirked and opened the dungeon door for her to let through.

Hermione felt so good throughout the day. Draco was not really that bad. But she still admits that he is such a nasty person, Malfoy with Slytherin Charm perhaps.
