A/N: I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE AGAIN!! But, thanks to my
reviewers, anyways. I'm not naming their names because I didn't get any new
ones.
Hermione's POV
"YES!! WEEKEND!!" She silently cheered to herself. She had finished all her homework, and thank god she didn't put it off or else she would have been literally buried in it. She got up and glanced at the clock, seeing that she had slept in. Deciding to go downstairs and watch some TV, she did just that.
Draco's POV
I yawned, loudly. I was lounging lazily on the couch in my pajamas, staring at the wall opposite of me, waiting for something exciting to happen. Then, I felt someone flop down next to me in a lazy sluggish manner. Turning my head, I saw that it was Hermione. "What are you doing up so early?" I asked her sarcastically.
"Oh shuddup." She said playfully hitting me on my arm.
"I was worried for a second, there. I thought Hogwarts' all famous "Ms. Bright-and-Early Sunshine" had retired!!"
"Go away." She said rolling her eyes, as she switched on the television.
"Make me." I said, and just to annoy her and do the exact opposite, I lay down with his head on her lap.
"Draco!" she cried, and halfheartedly tried to push me away, but she seemed like she was too lazy and tired today for some reason. So, she just let me lay there. She knew I was going to get up sooner or later so she just turned her attention to the TV.
I frowned. This wasn't part of my plan! She was supposed to get annoyed and then cause some excitement! "Fine, then it's time for Plan B." I thought, and started twiddling and twirling her hair between my two fingers and pulling it playfully to irk her. It was surprisingly soft. She looked down and glared at me.
"What do you want?" she asked me. Ah, she knew me so well.
"Some excitement." I said still playing with her curls.
"Well, your not going to find it in my hair." She said pulling her hair away from my fingers.
I got up and mock pouted at her. "I want to do something fun!!!" I whined in her ear.
"Go outside and play." She said, as if referring to a five year old child.
"I don't want to."
"Then, go amuse yourself in front of the mirror. You seem to spend more time there than any other human being I know."
"Your mean."
"Really? Well, isn't this a change of character." She said.
"Hermione." I said still whining.
"Okay! Okay! We'll go somewhere today!!"
"Where?"
"How about the new free concert in the park?"
"Anything is better than this." I said gesturing around to my surroundings.
"Fine, it starts at 5 pm."
"I have to wait that long???"
"You never told me what TIME you wanted to go somewhere."
I sighed. "Fine." And went upstairs to go take a shower.
Hermione's POV
Honestly, sometimes he could be a real pain in the ass. Even more than he usually is, and that's pretty annoying. I heard my stomach grumble; I realized it was past lunchtime. I went to make two grilled cheese sandwiches. One for me, and the other for me. As I was starting to eat the first sandwich, Draco came bounding into the kitchen. "I'm hungry." He said.
"And how does that concern me?"
"Well, from the fact that you made two sandwiches I guess one is mine." He said stealing it and taking a huge bite out of it.
"No! It was for me! I was hungry!"
"Well, now it's mine." He said giving me a boyish grin. With his wet hair plastered onto his forehead, he looked pretty damn good.
Finishing my sandwich, I realized I was getting a yearning for some cookies. "Wait, Draco ate them all." I thought frowning. Then realized, "I can bake them! That'll keep me occupied until the concert." I got up putting my dish in the sink and started fishing around in the cabinets for the ingredients.
"What are you doing?" He asked me
"Baking cookies." I said
"Can I help?"
"Huh?" I whirled around confused. "Did Draco Malfoy actually ask to help bake cookies????" I asked myself, staring at him.
"Hey, there's nothing better to do."
"Oh, what the heck." I thought, and told him he could.
Draco's POV
"What do I do?" I asked her. Imagine if I had asked her that a year ago, I would have thought that I had lost my mind because I was asking the muggleborn for directions. But now, it didn't seem to matter. After fifteen minutes of telling me what to do and mixing and adding ingredients, we had a big bowl of cookie dough in front of us. "Grab a spoon." She told me, and we started mixing the gooey substance. After a minute, (Hey, I had a short attention span!) I was getting bored of this, so I took my spoon out of the mix and wiped it on her nose, so now she had this brown gooey thing on her nose.
"HEY!" she cried, surprised, but I could see that her eyes were sparkling with silent laughter.
She did the exact same thing to me. "HEY!" I repeated, caught off guard.
She laughed and I joined in. After five minutes of this, we gradually stopped. She looked so cute with this brown dollop on her nose. I wiped it off with my finger and put it in my mouth. "Mmm. not bad." I did the same thing to the cookie dough on my nose. Hermione was watching me amusedly.
"Do you want more?" she asked.
I nodded eagerly.
"Well, too bad cause this is going in the oven." She said to me as she placed the cookie pan into the oven.
I pouted, and she laughed. "I never would have believed it, but Draco Malfoy likes raw cookie dough." Then, she passed me one of the spoons that we had just used. I put it in my mouth like a lollipop. I knew I looked ridiculous with a spoon sticking out of my mouth but it tasted good! She took the other one and did the exact same thing as we walked into the living room together to watch some TV.
Hermione's POV
"God, he looks so innocent right now." I thought glancing at his face. He was licking his spoon and staring at the TV. Then, I glanced at the clock and realized it was 4:45 pm. I went upstairs to change into a faded ankle length denim skirt and a light blue sweater to get ready to go to the free concert in the park.
Pretty soon after, I dragged Draco out the door and into the sleek, black car. "At least now, he had mastered the fine art of opening the car door and putting on his seatbelt." I thought amusedly to myself as we started driving.
Ten minutes later, we arrived. Walking across the lush green lawn, I sat down on the grass around the middle of the field. Draco lay down next to me with his head on his hands. Music was already playing, and it was quiet and peaceful, but I couldn't quite make out the words. People were milling around us. With the sunset, I couldn't help but think that this was a romantic setting. Ah, the pleasure some of the simple things gave us. Then, someone interrupted my train of thought.
"Hermione?" Draco asked.
"Hmm?"
"Have you ever thought of being friends?"
"Friends?"
"A huh."
"Well, isn't that one big leap from being enemies?"
"But I'm already being nice to you, so I thought why not?"
"Don't you think it'll be strange?"
"There isn't anybody around that we know."
"Are you sure that you want to be friends?"
"Yea."
"Fine, then. If you want to." I glanced at him. His blonde hair seemed to glow in the faint sunlight and his gray eyes seemed soft and not blocked. I didn't know what caused his sudden change in attitude, but it was fine by me as long as he wasn't being a snotty little prat.
"Great." He seemed relieved.
Draco's POV
I looked at her face. Her chestnut brown curls seemed to turn gold in the sunlight. I had to admit, I had some feelings toward her, there was no denying it anymore.
A/N: You like it? I think that change went a little too fast, but I was getting a little impatient for their relationship to get a move on.
