~*~*~*~*~*~

"I wonder what Hermione is doing now. I haven't seen her since dinner. Actually we haven't even seen her common room yet. Are you up to a visit?" asked Ron.

"Maybe she'll have food, I'm definitely in." said Harry.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Last time

He let go of Hermione's arms, however he didn't stop tickling her. Hermione, with her free hands reached up and started messing up Draco's hair. *Oh my god it is so silky and soft* Hermione thought to herself. Draco abruptly stopped tickling Hermione, picked her up went to their bedroom, dropped her on the bed. Then he…

… yelled "BODY SLAM!!!" and well he body slammed her. The he started to tickle her more. Hermione screamed and laughed. Now to anyone who doesn't already know what's going on in the room, the scene could send out the wrong message…

`~*~*~*~

Harry and Ron were in the corridor that leads to Hermione's room when they heard a blood curdling scream. They picked up their pace until they reached the chocolate bunny at the entrance.

"Password?"

"We don't know it, but please let us in, didn't you hear that scream?"

"I can't hear anything sir, I am a deaf rabbit, but I am very skilled at lip reading as a matter of fact. Now could you sing me a song, I get lonely here the only thing anyone ever says is crimson carrot to me, I get sick of looking it. How about you sing me a song, and I'll reconsider letting you in."

"Sorry Ralph, Crimson Carrot."

"That wasn't cool, and I lied I'm not deaf!" he said as hr moodily moved aside revealing the large oak door.

 When the two Gryffindor boys got into the common room they immediately split up. Harry went into the bathroom and Ron in the 'doll house' room. Simultaneously they exited the room, realizing that Hermione wasn't present in it. They both cautiously opened the door that lead to the bedroom. The emotions are their concerned faces flashed across their face. They say a pair of legs in the air screaming, laughing, and Draco lying across Hermione's stomach.

Ron angrily pushed past Harry's arm and went and yanked Draco off of Hermione.

"Ron I know that you're upset now. But we don't own her. It isn't our place to tell her what is right and wrong." said Harry trying to avoid chaos.

"I would be cool with it if it was anyone but him. I bet it is a set up. He probably has the dark mark on his arm right now. It's a plan. They are going to use her," e pointed to Hermione "to lure you into a trap." said Ron, looking poisonous."

"Ahem" said Hermione to get her two friend's attention.

The boys looked over to where Hermione and Draco were standing side by side. Draco looked hurtful and sorrowful. He had been branded by the whole of Gryffindor House to be a fierce death eater.

Ron started screaming at Hermione. Hi voice echoed off of the walls making what he said emphasized.

"HERMIONE YOU USED TO BE SO SMART! WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU REALLY THAT DENSE THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ALL A PART OF DRACO'S PLAN? HE'S GONNA LURE YOU INTO HIS TRAP AND USE YOU TO CAPTURE HARRY! DON'T YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT HIM OR AREE YOU TOO SELF CENTERED TO CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THEN YOURSELF."

Ron's arms were flying all over the place and he was come dangerously close to Hermione.

"RON, YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME OR MY DECISIONS. ALL YOU ARE ABOUT IS HARRY. SO GET THE HELL OUT OF MY DORM AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE WRONG!"

Ron took another step towards Hermione and now he was in her face. Draco couldn't stand there and regret anything that happened. Draco stepped between Ron and Hermione.

"Well now that you have all said what you wanted to say how about we go to bed, we have a Hogsmeade trip tomorrow and Hermione needs her beauty rest." Draco said steering Hermione to her side of the bed. She turned around and said "Bye Harry."

Hermione's POV

The atmosphere completely changed when Harry and Ron left. The tension was gone. I had always thought of Draco to be a self centered prat but I was wrong. He had a keen sense of humor, and a nifty personality. I don't know why I never noticed it before. But I can't blame myself for that; he may not have wanted anyone else to see it. I find it fascinating how he can hide his emotions so well. His eyes are so mysterious. They show no emotions and are such a mystery to me. But what shocked me the most was the fact that he cared about me back there.

Draco grabbed his pillows and a blanket and turned to leave the room.

"Draco, will you stay in here tonight? They know that password now and…"

He didn't hesitate at all, I didn't even get to finish my sentence.

"Of course I will! You don't need to ask twice." he said.

I woke up in the same silky sheets that seemed to soothe my soul and ease my emotions. The squishy mattress gave me the feeling of floating on a cloud, while the feather-fluffed pillow comforted my head. Draco's arm around me made me feel safe and needed. Draco's arm around me what? I rolled over to see Draco holding me like I was his favorite stuffed animal. He had the smallest smile on his face he looked so cute. "I wish I could stay like this forever." I said quietly to myself.

When I finally came out of my mental discussion, I realized that Draco was staring at me with a cocked eyebrow and the same cute smile.

"Okay you can let go of me now Draco." I said trying to sound like I wasn't enjoying his arm around me too much.

"Why would I do that? I know you like this."

"Why would you think that? Not very girl in this school wants you Draco Alex Malfoy." (Look at his initials, DAM heh.)

"Maybe not, but I think you do."

"And why do you think that?"

"Because you just told me." He said as he got up, grabbed a white fluffy towel and went into the bathroom.

No ones POV

"DRACO HURRY UP! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME MISS BREAKFAST" Hermione said as he pounded on the bathroom door and hour later. Draco exited the bathroom, drying the excess water off his hair, and then carelessly threw the towel over his shoulder.  He was wearing baggy beige pants, alongside a semi-tight black shirt that was contrasting against his wet, shining hair. Draco was just standing in the doorway and Hermione was staring at him exasperated.

"Ya think you can move?" she asked.

"Oh yea right sorry." Draco said has he turned and made a path for Hermione to walk through. He just stared at her as she walked until she closed the door.

Draco was sitting looking at a magazine in the far corner of the room. He didn't hear the water turn off or the door open. It wasn't until he heard the wardrobe swing open that he realized that the room was no longer vacant. He held the magazine up to his face and walked blindly around the room trying to find the door.

"Sorry Hermione, I didn't hear you come in." Draco said walking across the room feeling his way around.

"Draco what are you talking abo…?" Hermione didn't get to finish her sentence for she was knocked to the ground.

Draco wasn't careful enough and he bumped into Hermione and fell on top of her foir the second time since they got back. Just then did he take the magazine off of his face.

"Hermione what the hell?"

He looked Hermione in only her bath towel. His embarrassment easily showed on his pure skin. He got his magazine, helped Hermione up and exited the room.

Hermione started to run down the stairs.

"Hurry breakfast is starting any minute!" she said to Draco grabbing his hand and trying to drag him out.

"Where are you taking me?" he asked.

"Breakfast, I'm not going alone no sir."

"Well, you're taking the long cut." He started to drag Hermione the other way up the stairs and into the room with the Hogwarts model. "Hold on to me tightly" he said." He didn't give Hermione a chance to ask what the model did, she was swirling around and was taken to the door outside of the Great Hall. Her face showed so many emotions; Draco just smirked at her, then opened the door and let her walk in.

Hermione ate her breakfast not talking to Ron, but having a detailed chat with Harry about what Dumbledore had said giving the staff table and occasional glance.

"See ya harry, I have to go and direct everyone for the Hogsmeade trip."

"Bye Mione." Harry said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Granger over here." Draco said.

Hermione went over and was handed a list of the eligible students for the trip.

"Thanks." she said.
