VERY early the next morning…
"Truth or Dare Moine." Draco whispered in her ear.
"Cute Malfoy. Is someone dead?"
"Nope."
"Hopelessly injured?"
"Nope."
"Is there food involved?"
"Not this early Hermoine!"
"Death, horrible injury, or food are the only reasonable things that should have you in here waking me up. SO GO AWAYY!" and she swatted at him half-heartedly with her pillow.
"How about a meeting to decide the next activity?" He responded as he yanked off her blankets.
Hermoine groaned and curled into the fetal position. One hand searched for a blanket and found only cool fall air. Finally she gave in…and reached for her robes and covered up in those. Draco looked at her and grinned. Well, this was getting desperate, and he could sprint really well…He picked up Hermoine and carried her to the bathroom…and dropped her into the tub.
"MALFOY!!!!!" she screamed and he took off. She sat up and looked around and sighed. One day she just wanted to sleep in ONE day. But could she? NO! She had to get up and plan another event that would undoubtedly pair her with Malfoy. Not that was bad. She thought back over the last few weeks as she took her bath and washed her hair. Malfoy was slightly less git-like than he had been in the past. But what did she want from him and want did he want from her? She got up and dressed quickly and darted down to the common room. She looked back at Lavender and Ginny who had fallen back asleep. Lucky! With a deep sigh she ran down to join the prefect meeting.
"Due to the fact that they are people in this area who are not prefects you must hold this meeting elsewhere. Since I am the supervisor you will use my classroom." Sneered Snape.
Hermoine rolled her eyes, "Great! This keeps getting better. Get tossed in a tub, have to spend MORE time with Snape, AND no breakfast yet…"
Draco laughed silently and tossed her an apple out of his bag, "Hush woman! Eat!"
Soon they all were down in the dungeons and fighting over what to do next. Then Snape intervened, " This next one must involve spending 48 CONTINUOUS hours with your partner. And yes, you will all be paired up again."
"But sir! Shouldn't we partner up with others from our rival houses?" spoke up Justin.
Snape turned and glared at the boy, "These are not my rules but those of Dumbledore."
Justin visibly swallowed and sat back down. Draco and Hermoine shared a look.
"I think it is a grand idea sir. This way we can learn more about our partners for our exam next moth." Sid Draco s Hermoine nodded to back up his statement.
Snape looked at the two of them as if the suddenly had as many heads as Fluffy. They just smiled t him, Hermoine added a waggle of her fingers. Draco laughed inwardly at the look of utter horror that passed over Snape's face as she did that.
"What about we have a Scavenger hunt/camp out? Then not only will you have to spend two days with your partner, but you will have to work together to win. The prize being…no homework for a week in your classes?" Draco proposed to the group. They pondered this and started to smile.
"I like it!" Cho and Hermoine said at the same time, they looked at each other and grinned. Justin just nodded with a smile. Snape sat there and looked at Draco like he had gone mad.
"No homework for a week? Dumbledore will laugh me out of his office. Two days." Snape said as he got up to go propose it to Dumbledore. The Prefects all just waited for him in the dungeons and chatted. He was back within thirty minutes, "It's a go."
They let out a shout and ran up to breakfast just in time for Draco to announce it at the end of the morning announcements, "Hello to you all again. Next activity is ready…are you? Didn't think so! Well, now it is time for a scavenger hunt/camping trip with your partner from the field day competition. We will keep you updated. Oh and this prize is two full homework free days. From ALL classes. For your entire house." With that he returned to the prefect end of the Head Table.
A roar filled the Great Hall, as enemies once again got ready to bond and work together. This time they were actually getting excited.
Harry and Ron shared a look at the Gryffindor table and then looked over at Ginny and Lavender. The four of them then looked up and the Head Table and at Hermoine and Draco wit their heads bent towards each other as they planned the next joint house meeting. Right before the end of dinner Hermoine stood up, "Gryffindor and Slytherin we will be having another joint house meeting tomorrow after breakfast. So Please make arrangements to stay for at least an hour. Thank you!" After making that announcement Dumbledore dismissed them all to classes.

Hermoine had her work done already in Arithmancy so she was given a free period. She went to the library, or at least that was her plan. She walked past THAT empty classroom and was yanked in very unceremoniously. She spun round to see Draco there with a smirk on his lips, right before those lips kissed her.
"Draco this is so wrong…." She whispered as her fingers went through his hair.
"I know Moine but I need this. I wanted to kiss you silly all during breakfast." He pulled her back into another melting kiss.
So they stayed in the dusty, forgotten classroom. Lost in each other. Lost in their enemy. Just happy to be in arms of the one person who made the rest of the world fade away. How long they remained they did not know. When they broke apart, they each drew a ragged breath and looked deep into each other's eyes.
