~from the previous chapter~ Someone knocked on the door ~end from previous chapter~

"Yeah?" Draco called from his window seat.

"Is Hermione in there?" Ron called.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Draco muttered and opened the door.

"Hey Hermione, sorry you got trapped with the ferret-boy." Ron laughed at the fond memory of Draco the Amazing Bouncing Ferret.

"Yeah. I know. Such a shame." Harry chewed on a cherry Bernie Bott's with satisfaction.

"Hermione, could you come over here?" Draco asked, Pansy was about to scoot in a little too close to Draco.

"Sure." 'Might as well do him a favor. Pansy was such a pain.' Hermione thought.

So now it was Harry, Ron, and Tabitha on one side, and Pansy, Hermione, and Draco on the other.

"Scoot over!" Pansy pushed Hermione over towards the window with her abnormally large bum.

"Aah!" Hermione let out a yelp by the suddenness of the bum-push. Since there are no seatbelts on the Express, she flopped like a fish out of water onto Draco. His silver eyes looked down on her with confusion and surprise. Silver. Not gray.

"Here." Draco whispered. He stuck out an arm so she could pull herself back up, although now the space she was once sitting was mostly occupied by Pansy.

"Thanks." Hermione smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Everyone is getting a little too cozy here." Ron said in his newly emerged deep voice while plucking out a barf flavored bean. This made Hermione blush. She laughed to herself. While joking with Ginny one day, she had made the analogy that Harry got all the fame, and Ron got all the hormones. "Shut it Weasel-boy." Draco fell back into his corner and put up his shield of an angry face.

The next few hours on the Express were long and tedious. Tabitha didn't say very much except for an occasional head nodding. Draco remained in his cornor, and Hermione fell asleep. Pansy again pushed her with her large bum while trying to steal some of Ron's Bott's beans. Hermione's head gently fell onto Malfoy. He laid there for awhile, then wondered what to do.

'I could wake her up, but she must be so tired.' thought rushed through his mind on what to do. Then, a mumbling filled the booth.

"She's sleep talking." Tabitha stated.

"What is she saying?" Harry questioned.

"Sh! Some people are trying to HEAR." Draco whispered back.

~Hermione's dream~

*Is in the prefects bathroom*

"Ah! Finally I get to use this thing!" Hermione enjoyed herself by filling the large tub with what seemed like endless amounts of colored water. She danced around gleefully then grabbed a fluffy towel and stripped off her clothes. She then encased herself in fluffy towels, all embroidered with a ferret head. Then Hermione threw the towel aside and slipped into the white marble tub. She was hurt. Then Malfoy came in, also wanting to take a bath.

"What's wrong?" He asked while she screamed,

"I think I broke my leg!" Hermione screamed as she slowly sunk to the bottom. Draco dove in and brought her up to the surface before she drown.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked while covering her in a blanket of towels.

"You pervert! You don't just dive into a bathtub while someone is undressed! And a girl too!" Hermione snuffed and looked away.

"But I saved you!"

"I guess so. Thanks."

"Hermione, I love you!" And Draco faded away past the cloth shades, then the windows. Then the ferrets on the towels all came to life and danced around with her as she refilled the bathtub.

~Okay, Back on the train~

"Draco.Leg.Save.Ferret!" Hermione awoke with a jolt to find her peers laughing at her. "What's so funny?" Hermione asked.

"You were talking about. Draco!" Pansy snorted her pig-like laugh.

"Oh my-What did-Did I say?" Hermione couldn't speak. Draco's usually pale skin blushed a bright crimson. She felt so bad. If only he knew her dream. Then the train stopped.

"This is our stop. Say goodbye to Scar face and Weasel for me." Draco led Hermione out before she could even say goodbye. This was going to be the longest project she'd ever do.
