Pretty Woman
Chapter 5

Hermione was on her way back the library when she ran into Professor McGonagall who looked relieved to see her. Hermione looked at her a bit wierdly before saying, "Can I help you professor?"

"Yes. You left dinner so early yesterday that I didn't get a chance to show you to your special room. You see since becoming Head Girl/Boy takes a lot of hard working and the ability to handle a large amount of responsibility the Headmaster's have chosen to give the Head Girl/Boy their own private rooms. I didn't get to speak to you yesterday so the Headmaster made sure that there was enough room in the seventh year dormitory. If you have the time I would like to show you where you would be staying," McGonagall said before escorting her through the hall towards the center of the school.

Hermione followed her favorite professor wondering where the woman was taking her. A few minutes later she found herself in front of a beautiful portait of the symbol of the four houses. The deputy headmistress silenty whispered, making it loud enough for Hermione to hear her, the words Cassidy Blues. The portrait swung open and McGongall lead them inside. As soon as they were pass the threshold the portrait hole closed and two doors were presented. One with Hermione's name written on it and another with Harry Potter's name written on it. McGonagall handed Hermione a key and told her to open the door on the right. When she did she was presented with a beautiful flat.

They living room was decorated comfortably in white's and pastel purples'. It had a lare white sofa with a matching love seat that had pastel purple and purple pillows thrown on it in a cute design and the fire place was sculped out of white and gray marble. The floor was covered with light purple, almost white carpet that led to a kitchen, that to her surprise, was loaded with muggle appliances. She made her way down the hall to find her own personal library that was equipped with a copy of every book in the regular library, exempting the books in the Restricted Section of course. She turned to the right and found herself with a beautiful white marble bathroom that had a large sink, a stand up shower, and well as a jacuzzi tub. She smiled when she thought about the wonderful baths she could take without having to go to the Prefect's bathroom. She then made her way to the bedroom to find it decorated in such an elegant manner.

Her bedroom had purple carpet and a black brass bedroom set (chest-of-drawers, night stands, dresser, etc). Her bed was also made of black brass but had transparent purple shades covering the sides of each bed post to give it a canopy feel. Her bed was covered in purple satin sheets as well as a purple velvet comforter. She had a few satin pink throw pillows for accents but other than that the room was purple. She loved it and couldn't wait to move in.

After she had finished looking at the flat McGonagall lead them out of the mini dorm and showed her the way back to the main hall. Hermione was suddenly glad that she had a photographic memory and looked at her watch seeing that she only had ten minutes to get to Potions, which was all the way on the other side of the castle. McGonagall told her that the house elves would be moving her things shortly and by the time dinner is ready everything should be transfered to her new quarters. Hermione just nodded before briskly walking to the dungeons.

The bell rang signaling the end of her last class and Hermione was excited to head to her new rooms. She walked out of the door of her Aritmancy class, passing by the other students, Ravenclaws, who had attended the class and made her way to the empty part of the castle. She didn't worry about anyone paying her too much attention because most of her peers were either heading to her houses or to the Great Hall for dinner. Hermione didn't see the need to go to the Great Hall since she had a kitchen of her very own and cook quite well, if she did say so herself.

Her quickly gave her password to the portrait and opened her 'apartment' door and walked into the cozy abode. She dropped her books on her desk in the library and headed to her bathroom. She smiled when she saw all her Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works gels lined neatly on her sink and around her tub. She turned on her bath water and adjusted the temperature until it was to her liking before pouring her Plumeria scented bubble bath into the water and heading to her room.

Hermione quickly undressed and wrapped a white terry cloth robe around her body as she searched through her drawers for a pair of pajamas to wear. After a couple of minutes of searching through drawers she found the two that held her night clothes and pulled out the first set she saw and laid them on the bed before going back into the bathroom. As she walked into her bathroom she noticed that the tub was almost full. She turned off the water, took off her robe, and slowly sank into the hot water. Hermione let out a contented sigh once she was fully in the water and relaxed. She closed her eyes and she muttered a spell to play some smooth jazz.

She felt her muscles loosen as she relaxed in the water and thought about the good sleep she would have that night. She hummed to the melody that resonated through the bathroom room as she thought about what she would cook for dinner. She was never, and had never, been a heavy eater. Her parents being the health conscious people they were had her contemplating about what she could eat that wouldn't have they yelling at her for 'clogging up her arteries.'

An hour later she left her bathroom feeling like a new woman and yawned lazily as she made her way to her bedroom to put on her pajamas. Hermione towel dried her body before unwrapping her towel and lying it on her bed. She grabben her lavender scented baby oil gel before sitting down on the towel and smoothing the lightly scented gel over her skin. Once her skin was moisturized she grabbed her deodorant and rolled it on before pulling on a pair of black low rise panties and a matching sport's bra, she usually always wore a bra to sleep to prevent sagging from happening later on in life (a trick from her mother), then began to put on her pajamas. Her pajamas consisted of a pair of red satin charmeuse boxer pajamas that she had purchased at Victoria's Secret earlier that summer.

Once she was dressed she quickly sprayed on her Plumeria body splash then headed into her kitchen to fix her dinner. She looked through the refridgerator and was happy to find a package of chicken breasts. She pulled out the chicken breasts, opened it, cleaned it then began to season it. She lightly shook some pepper on both sides of her chicken before doing the same with the pepprika. Once that was done she grabbed the season salt and shook some of both sides of the chicken before frying it on the oven. Had she been home she would have grilled it, seeing as her portable grill took the fat off the chicken, but frying it would have to do.

While her chicken cooked she took out some salad and poured it into a bowl. Once that was done she poured her some water and sat out her Balsamic Vinegrette dressing and waited for her chicken to finish. Twenty minutes later her chicken was done and smelling delicious. She cut the fat off her chicken before proceeding to cut it into medium sized squares and putting it inside of her salad. Once she was done she wrapped up her food and placed it into the fridge and poured her dressing on her freshly made chicken salad.

Hermione was in the middle of eating when someone knocked on her door. She put her fork down before walking through the living room to open the door. The last person she had expected to see was standing at her door.

"Is there something you wanted Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Professor McGonagall told me that you moved in today and I was wondering why you didn't come to dinner this evening," Harry replied as he took in her body in her pajama set.

"If you must know, I decided to take a bath and cook my own dinner," Hermione said before moving back to close her door.

"Look, I know you're mad at me," Harry said interrupting her train of movement, "but I still want us to be friends."

"I am your friend Harry," Hermione replied knowing that lately she hadn't really been acting much like a friend, "It's just that I thought I'd give you some space."

"I don't fucking want space Hermione!" Harry said angry, "I never asked you for that. I'm sorry alright! I'm sorry I disrespected your bed by shagging Lavender on it. It just happened and I didn't think about it until it was too late."

"You've already given your apologies," Hermione said as she looked longingly at her food.

"Do you want to come with me to Hogsmeded this weekend?" Harry asked at the spur of the moment.

"I can't. Ron and Parvarti already asked me and I agreed. Look I'm going to finish eating then head to bed and I suggest you do the same," Hermione said before closing her door and making her way back to her kitchen.

Hermione woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to start her day. Have her own apartment was a wonderful thing and made all her hardwork worth it. She showered using her Caress bodywash before heading into her bedroom to get dressed. She searched through her underwear drawer and pulled out a pair of white boyshort underwear and slid them on. Once she was covered with her panties she picked up her lavender scented baby oil gel and smoothed it over her skin before getting dressed.

She made her way to her chaise lounge where she had sat her clothes the night before and began to get dressed. She pulled on her silk purple and silver tube top and arranged it over her bra less breasts before slipping into her short blue jean skirt that had purple stones embroidered around the waist of the skirt. Once she was dressed she headed into the bathroom and brushed her hair up in a high ponytail and held it with her silver hair scrunhie. When she was done she quickly rolled on her clear gloss and headed back into her bedroom where her perfume sat. She lightly sprayed on her Glow perfume by JLO then headed to the kitchen to make her breakfast.

She opened the fridge and took out two egs, a package of bacon and some butter and began to cook. She turned on the stove and placed a pan over the fire and opened the cupboard and took out some oil. She lightly lined the pan with the liquid before cracking her eggs and putting them in the pan. She doused her eggs lightly with some pepper and salt before scrambling them and putting them in the plate. While she was cooking her eggs she began to fry her bacon. Hermione had always loved music, opposed to popular belief of her being stuffy, and had learned some interesting spells during her time in the library and at the moment she wanted some sooting music to listen to. She waved her wand and muttered a charm and soft rock began to play and the voice of Bon Jovi began to resonate softly through the room.

When she was finished cooking Hermione toasted some bread and spread some butter on it before sitting down to eat. She ate quietly, enjoying the music that was playing. Once she finished eating she got up and headed back to her room to put on her shoes. Her shoes consisted of a pair of silver sling back Colin Stuart stillettoes. She grabbed a long black work robe before grabbing a notebook and leaving her room.

She was walking past the Great Hall when she felt someone's arm wrap around her waist. Hermione quickly turned to the left to see who it was that had taken the liberty of touching her and was surprised to see that it was Draco Malfoy. Hermione twisted effortlessly out of his hold and walked a foot to the right.

"Come now Granger. I'm not that bad," Draco said as his face adorned a sexy smirk.

"I know you too well Malfoy. Besides what would your dear old daddy say if he knew that you were try to get with a Mud Blood?" Hermione replied as they made their way into the dungeons.

"Can't we let bye gones be bye gones?" Draco asked as they walked into the Potions room.

Hermione just walked over to her spot and set her books down before pulling on her robes. Once her body was covered with her work robes she turned around only to bump into Draco's hard chest. He smirked and cornered her as he put his hands on either side of her on the black table and arched his eye brow for a response.

Hermione moved back and grabbed his arms and pushed him back before saying, "The war is over and I have no problems with you Malfoy. Just stay out of my personal space. And for the record," Hermione stared as Malfoy turned to walk away, "I always forgive but I never forget."
