A.N- hey guys thanks for reviewing. I'm going to try to write the chapters quickly. I know that when people speak it should be a new paragraph, and that's how I wrote it, but it didn't turn out right, so, I'm going to keep trying to make it turn out right.

Disclaimer- I own nothing but the plot and that's it. That happens to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Hermione walked down the stairs to the living room, where she assumed Draco was. She walked in and saw him on the couch, with his head bent over the same book. She walked over and sat down next to him.

"I'm sorry about how they acted, they're just, I don't know, that's just the way they are, and I guess it was a bit shocking for them to see you here, at my house, in a muggle neighborhood." Hermione was starting to babble onto irrelevant things, when she looked down and saw Draco's face. The reason his head had been down was because he had tears streaming down his face. Hermione's heart split as she looked down at his face. she sat down beside him and hugged him.

"I don't need your sympathy, it's just the fact that I thought I had changed and then they go and yell at me for no reason, and that is just so plain stupid and... ARGHHHHH!" Draco put his head on Hermione's shoulder after this little outburst.

"Draco, it's okay. They just don't know what's going on, they weren't able to see you well at all; they couldn't look into your eyes and see how sincere you were when you said my name. It's okay. They'll see you at school, and they'll realize that something's changed." Hermione continued to hold him as she finished speaking. His breathing started to slow and she knew he was sleeping. She got up from the couch slowly, careful not to wake him, and grabbed a blanket from the chair. She spread it over him with little effort and made sure he would be warm. Hermione walked over to a big plush chair and plopped herself down, picked up her book, and began to read. Without knowing it, she fell asleep on the chair. When she woke up, she was in her bed, with the blankets all around her. She looked at the clock and saw that it was about midnight, and she knew her mother wasn't home because the T.V. wasn't blaring in the room down the hall. Hermione got up from the bed and went to her bathroom, where she changed into her pajamas. When she reentered her room, she saw Draco sitting on the chair beside her fireplace, covered in a blanket, and asleep. Not wanting to disturb him, she went down the stairs and made some decaffeinated tea. When she was waling back up the stairs, her mother and Ciss walked in the door. Hermione turned on the steps and walked down to her mother. She gave her a hug and kissed her cheek.

"How was your night out mum?" Hermione asked her mother. Eve looked happy, and her cheeks were rosy from the chill night.

"It was great Hermione, we had so much fun. We went to dinner, and then we went to a play, and then we went to that coffee shop you always talk about." Eve went on talking about her night as Hermione snuck up the stairs to wake up Draco. He was still asleep on the chair, and Hermione gently shook him awake.

"Huhhh, wh-what?" he mumbled as he sat up.

"Your mom is back, it's time for you to go." Hermione answered. "I'll walk back down with you."

"Thanks," said Draco.

Downstairs, there was still a conversation going on. Hermione led Draco down the stairs, and into the foyer, where Ciss was waiting. Good- byes were said, and the Malfoy's left. Hermione trudged back up the stairs, pondering how much and escalater might cost. Her last thought as she fell asleep was Draco sleeping in her chair, and the peaceful look he had on his face.

A.N: I know its kind of short, but the next chapter will be up very soon. For real. Please review!
