~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 2: Inter-house Relationships my ASS! ~*~*~*~*~

"The password is 'respect'".

I muttered my thanks to the lady in the portrait and stepped into my new common room, closely followed by Malfoy and Professor McGonagall. I looked around in amazement. The common room had walls of a lovely purple and aqua shimmery colour. There was a large fireplace made with shiny black bricks and a nice silver pattern around the outside. To one side there was a large bookshelf. In front of the fireplace were four huge couches, each with a different colour. There were two large study desks on either side of the couches, and a large coffee table beside each couch. I also noticed two doors on opposite walls. One had the Slytherin symbol, and the other had Gryffindor. I guessed these went to the common rooms.

"Well I'll leave you two here to inspect the rest of your common room, and your dorms up the stairs. Goodnight." Professor McGonagall made her way to the door.

"Thanks Professor!" I said and ran up the stairs into my room.

The first thing I noticed after I closed was the door was that my room was HUGE and in Gryffindor colours. There was a large king size bed next to a large ornate window. I also had a separate study table in here. I noticed two doors. One was labelled bathroom, and the other was wardrobe. I opened the wardrobe first and entered a large walk in wardrobe. It was wonderful. Next I went into the bathroom and squealed in wonder. There was a large tub to one side, large enough to easily fit five people. On the other side was a huge shower. Near the door was a door marked toilet. There was also a sink to wash my hand and brush my teeth ect. Not only this, but there was a big table with a large mirror and surrounded by candles so there was a lot of light to see where to put my make up ect.

I went back to my room, sorted everything out of my trunk with a simple spell, and feel asleep, exhausted with the excitement of today, and the prospect of tomorrow.

DRACO'S POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Damn school. I wasn't looking forward to coming, and now my last year here was going to be ruined because I have to share the common room with that mudblood. I decided to get up and get ready. After all, I was going to have to compete with Potter to see who looks the hottest. I knew it was I, but I still had to make sure that Potter's "charm" didn't beat my looks. I was kind of looking forward to seeing Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle. I hadn't seen them all holidays. They used to be annoying, until our sixth year when they all admitted that they didn't want to go over to the dark side like me. Pansy had stopped hanging off me since she met some Ravenclaw guy. I really was quite happy for her, because she has someone who likes her back.

I stepped out of my room and headed down the stairs. I saw Granger open the portrait to go out.

"Hey Mudblood!" I sneered at her. If I was going to have a bad year, then she is going to as well.

She slammed the portrait behind her. There will be time later to insult her I thought happily to myself as I headed to the Great Hall.

HERMIONE'S POV

I heard Malfoy yell out Mudblood and I didn't want to start an argument so I just slammed the door closed and stormed off. At least I had classes and seeing Ron and Harry to look forward to.

I walked over to where Ron, Harry, Hilary and Ginny were sitting.

"So, how was your first night with Malfoy?" Harry asked.

"It wasn't bad, seeing as I didn't go out of my room the whole night. He still managed to get a mudblood remark in though."

"Dwon't wowwy Miome. We'll get 'im if he does anyfink tupid." Ron was saying all this with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Uh, thanks Ron", I said as I helped myself to breakfast. Our first class that morning was Charms.

DRACO'S POV

"Draco! I haven't seen you for so long. How was your holiday?" Pansy came running towards me.

"Hi Pansy." I said as I gave her a hug. "My holiday was good. How was yours. How's Ken?" I asked with a wink.

"Um, yeah he's ok," she said sheepishly.

"Hey there Draco my man. How was your holiday?" Crabbe and Goyle had just turned up as well.

"Hi guys. My holiday was good. What did you guys do? Score with any chicks?" I added in an undertone.

We sat down to breakfast chatting about the holidays. I didn't have a chance to catch up with them on the train because they all got to Hogwarts with their parents late the night before.

As I got up from the table to head of to Transfiguration I looked over to the Gryffindor table and caught Grangers eye. I smirked at her and walked out.

HERMIONE'S POV

It was the end of the day and I was on my way to the common room to drop my stuff of. When I entered the common room I saw Malfoy lounging around in a chair.

"Well we meet face to face at last."

"Shut up Malfoy." I wasn't going to take any crap from him this year.

"I don't listen to dirt sorry."

I stormed up the stairs to my room.

"Oh, and by the way, I claim these two couches, so stay away from them. They're nice and clean. I don't need it covered in mud.

I slammed my door shut and headed to my bathroom for a nice hot bath.

DRACO'S POV

She was acting strange. Usually she would have some kind of comeback. Well, I guess I was getting too good at insulting her. And with that satisfying thought in my head, I went to my room for a shower.

HERMIONE'S POV

I walked out a little while later. I had changed into a pair of camel coloured cords and a white fitted ¾ shirt with white sandals. My hair was out and straight. I walked into the common room and saw Malfoy there. He had also changed and was wearing black baggy pants and a fitted white shirt. He was pretty hot, but that didn't stop him from being a complete prat. I walked towards the Gryffindor portrait and pushed it open. I was waiting for a remark from Malfoy but nothing came. I turned around and saw that he was asleep. Hmmm. He is so vulnerable I thought mischievously. I ran back up to my room and down to Draco.

"Mione. What took you so long? We were going to come and look for you, except we don't know the password to the portrait door which you just came through." Harry looked at me questioningly.

"Don't worry guys. I was just reading 'Hogwarts A History' and lost track of time" I lied.

"Well that explains it. Now let's get started on this project" Harry told me.

We had been assigned a project by Hagrid to look after a Nigglewump for a month.

It was well past 12.00 when I headed back. I stepped through and saw Draco sitting there. I cracked up laughing in the middle of a yawn. He had a sour look on his face, which was now green, and had fluro pink hair with bright purple streaks.

"You are going to pay for this one Mudblood. No one hexes me and gets away with it.'

I walked into my room chuckling but stopped as soon as I entered. There were pictures of Malfoy all over my walls smirking and sneering. There was a note on the door that read:

There is a charm on these pictures, and they cannot be removed for a week. Enjoy waking up to my delightful face. - Yours Truly

I got ready for bed fuming and lay in my bed. My last thought before I fell asleep was 'inter-house relationships my goddamn ass!'
