chapter 4:

Hermione and Malfoy were walking silently towards the Slytherin house, while bunch of students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were staring at them, mouths hanging open. Draco covered his face with his hand as they passed them. "Great. Just great" He thought sarcastically as he look at the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students "They might be thinking Granger and I are going out…" He tried to ignore those people staring at them and then finally, as quickly as possible, turned to the corner and finally stopped by a stretch of bare, damp stone wall.

"Eew!" said Hermione as she stared at the wet moldy wall. "This is the entrance of your House??!!! How disgusting!!"

"Shut up Granger!!!" He then paused and strained his memory for the password. "What's the password?… What's the password?…" he muttered repeatedly to himself. "What's the password?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. Now she was getting really annoyed. She raised her arm and checked the time. It was now 4:55. "What are you waiting for??!!" she asked caustically.

Malfoy ignored her and still muttered the same words… until finally… "Ah! Yes! 'Pureblood rules!" he said and a stone door appeared and they entered.

Malfoy sighed, relieved. No one was in the common room at that very moment. "Let's go!" he whispered and he and Hermione, (who sensed what Malfoy had been thinking,) tip toed their way up to Draco's dorm… But then…

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Pansy Parkinson shrieked as she and her Slytherin gang, who just entered the Slytherin House, stared at Malfoy and Hermione, their mouths hanging open. Pansy immediately went straight to Malfoy, her eyes were now glistening with tears.

"DRACO!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!! I don't understand!! What's the meaning of this??? And why are you HOLDING her hand??!!!"

Draco rolled his eyes "Pansy will you calm down??!!!" he said flatly. "-And If you look closer… I'm not holding her hand okay?! This is my punishment, our punishment! Now can you please lay off… and stop acting like you're my girlfriend!!"

"Ouch…" Pansy's friends whispered as they looked at Pansy, who was now totally hurt. Then at Hermione, who looked totally confused. And at Draco, who looked totally bored. Hermione was looking at Malfoy then to Pansy. She sighed. She was absolutely trap. This was one scenario she didn't like to mix up with. "God…" Hermione thought as she looked up at the ceiling. "What have I done to you to punish me like this?"

Hermione looked down from the ceiling and stared at Pansy. She was still staring at them, a pained expression on her face. Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes, lifted her arm and looked at her watch. It was 5:30. She looked up again and Pansy was still staring at them both. What's she waiting for?" Hermione thought, irritated. "What the hell is she staring at us for?"

"You know Pansy… if you're going to walk out and cry all you want, then do it now!" Hermione said as she looked at her watch again. She really wanted to get out of there, fast!. Pansy then turned around and ran off like a stupid maniac and slammed her door.

"Geez…" Hermione started as she shook her head and then glance up at the 5th year Slytherin girl's dorm, where in Pansy ran off. "It took her 25 minutes to decide whether she'll walk out or not!"

All Pansy's friends glared at Hermione before running after Pansy. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Let's go Malfoy… I really, really, REALLY want to get out of here!" she said .

Draco nodded and once more carried Hermione's trunk. "I need to get out of here either!" he thought as he and Hermione went to his dorm.

~*~

"Will you stop that Ron!" Ginny snapped as she banged her book Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean at the table, her brother who was not listening still paced back and fort. "Please Ron…" said Ginny exasperatedly. "I can't concentrate!!"

"I'm sorry Ginny, but I'm just… you know worried…" Ron said as he continued his pacing. Ginny rolled her eyes. "Ron! I'm telling you… She can handle herself… She's a genius girl so stop worrying!!!" she said.

"I know she's genius! But it's Malfoy we're talking about here… M-A-L-F-O-Y!" Ron boomed as he emphasized roughly Draco's surname. Ginny looked apprehensively at Ron. "Well… " Ginny said quietly as she started to looked uneasy. "Let's just hope nothing bad will happen…"

"Nothing's gonna happen to her!" Harry said loudly. "And please Ron, stop pacing, I can't concentrate!!" he added as he tossed heaves of parchment on the table.

Ron sighed. He sat down next to Harry and stared at the ceiling. "Well.." he thought. Although he felt something was wrong. He sighed once more. "Let's hope nothing would happen…"

~*~

"Not bad…" Hermione thought, impressed as she looked around the Slytherin boy's dorm. It was huge and the bed looked cozy. It wasn't messy, and everything was organized. "Are you sure this is your dorm?" Hermione asked as Draco placed Hermione's trunk next to his bed.

Draco looked up, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well…" Hermione started. "It's just that… it's so clean here…"

"Believe me… It's not…" Malfoy said as he sat on his bed. "Now what?" he thought as he stared at Hermione who was gazing at the room. Draco sighed. "Okay… so now we're having a polite conversation… Now what?" Hermione stopped gazing and looked at Malfoy. He was still staring at her. They stayed like that for what seems like hours before Malfoy, who realized he was staring at her, looked away. "Now that was definitely weird!" Draco thought. Hermione was still staring at him, he could feel it. Malfoy looked up at her.

"What's up?" He asked as he saw Hermione face turning red. "Okay… so now she's blushing…" he thought.

"M-Ma-lf-foy…" Hermione whole face was definitely red now.

"What?" Draco asked, still confused at her strange behavior.

"I.. I… umm… I…" Hermione started.

"What?" Draco asked again.

"I… umm… I umm.."

"What?" Draco repeated for the 3rd time.

"I.. I.. umm.. I…." She paused and took a deep breathe…. "I… umm…n-need t-to go t-to the ba-bathroom…" she whispered.

"WHAT??!!" Draco said loudly as he felt the blood rush to his face.

Hermione nodded, She had been trying to hold it in but she obviously needs to go to the washroom before her bladder burst. Hermione could feel Malfoy shaking.

"Are y-you sure?" Draco asked awkwardly as he felt himself shaking. He had been with a lot of girls… but never had he been with a girl inside a bathroom.

Hermione nodded once more.

"C-can't y-you hold it in?" Malfoy asked hopefully, his voice still shaky.

Hermione shook her head. Malfoy then stood up. His face completely red.

"Make it quick!" he whispered and she and Malfoy went to the bathroom.

~*~

"This is the most embarrassing moment of my life….!" Hermione declared silently as she and Malfoy slowly but quietly walk their way towards the bathroom. "How could Dumbledore be so mean?"

They finally reached the bathroom and Hermione and Malfoy entered. "So… what would I do?" Hermione muttered to herself.

"Umm…. Malfoy… face the wall!" she demanded quietly as she shifted herself towards the toilet bowl. Malfoy for once obeyed Hermione and faced the wall, his whole face blushing furiously.

Hermione quietly and quickly tried to do her thing, but unfortunately couldn't do it w/out the help of her right hand. She was now taking so much time. Malfoy was starting to get impatient. "What's taking her so long?" he thought.

"Are you done?" he asked impatiently.

Hermione sensing Malfoy's usual self coming back answered roughly. "I haven't even started yet!"

"What's taking you so long?" he asked, irritated.

"I couldn't ge-" she stopped. It was totally absurd to say 'I can't urinate because I can't remove my underwear'

"What??" he asked once more. "What's taking you so long?"

"What should I say?" she thought.

"What's taking you so long?" he asked again.

"Umm.. well… I need help!" she blurted out. "Wait… Did I just say 'I need help'?"

"You What?!!" Malfoy shouted as he felt himself blush.

"No! I didn't mean that!" Hermione said immediately. "I just can't do this without my other hand…"

"So what are you trying to say??!!!" Malfoy said quietly. "What's she saying? I can't help her!"

Bewildered by the situation, Hermione started to cry. Malfoy on the other hand understood what she was going through. Malfoy understood what the dilemma was. He didn't like the idea so he blushed.

"Umm… Granger…" Malfoy said quietly but in a soothing tone. "Stop crying.. I know this situation is totally weird and hard… so I'll help you…"

Hermione wiped her tears and stared at Malfoy, his back still facing her.

"But…" Draco added. "This doesn't mean that we're friends…!"

Hermione thought about Malfoy's act of kindness and nodded.

"Fair enough…" she said. "But… before helping me…" Hermione got her handkerchief out of her pocket. "I'll wrap this on you… to be sure you can't see anything!" she added.

"Okay…" Malfoy said and he and Hermione tied the hanky over his eyes.

"Don't do anything…" said Hermione quietly. "I'm the one who'll control that hand…!"

"Fine… Just make it quick so that we may leave!" Malfoy said, though blushing furiously.

Hermione's heart was beating fast. Why does she have to go through this kind of situation? She was shaking slightly and with the help of Malfoy's hand she tried to remove her corset. She shivered as she felt Malfoy's hand on her legs. It was integrally the most peculiar feeling Hermione ever felt.. After a few minutes, and with a lot of efforts and sacrifices, Hermione finally urinated. She felt relieved. It was finally over.

On the other hand, Draco was still blushing. When he helped her, he was shaking slightly and could feel her silky smooth skin. He could feel his sweat slid down his forehead. "Oh God… give me strength!" he prayed silently. It was a weird moment for them. A VERY weird moment for Draco indeed. He waited a while longer…

"Umm… Malfoy…?!" Draco heard Hermione say, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Huh-? Wh-what?!" he answered.

"Can you kindly remove your hands? I'm done now!" She said as Draco felt his hand being pushed away from her. Malfoy wiped his face while Hermione helped him out of the handkerchief.

"Thanks…" Hermione said as she smiled at him sincerely.

Malfoy just nodded and pushed the door and pulled Hermione out of there. Finally, one crucial problem solved.
