Thanks to those who have reviewed. It means a lot to me! I think thing swill get slightly better in this chapter lets see. I can't get no the net tonight (sobs) so I'm spending time on my fics!
Disclaimer: The characters are all J.K.Rowlings, although I don't see her writing a plot like this- everything else belongs to her- I wish I could say that was not true! (I wish it were my creation).
Chapter 3- Getting used to the situation.
The day went by rather uneventfully. Apart from a few taunts from Draco in Potions, things weren't too bad for Hermione. Harry and Ron could see Hermione was upset about her new living situations.
"You're going to have to deal with it Mione" Harry said "I know it's hard but just take no notice of him" "Or hex him" Ron suggested. They didn't understand. Hey didn't have to put up with him. Draco hadn't been too bad so far but Hermione was sure that this would change as soon as he was comfortable in the new lodgings. She just hoped the talk he had suggested would turn out with some civil compromises.

Draco, on the other hand was looking forward to the chance of spending time alone with Hermione. Maybe she will see I'm not just a cruel idiot, He thought. His friends had all said how sorry they were for him, having to share a common room with a Mud blood. He wanted to tell them to shut up but he couldn't. Draco had to laugh a long and pretend he hated having to be anywhere near Hermione Granger.
After his last lesson, Draco headed for their new common room. He could feel excitement building up inside himself even though he knew it was pointless. Hermione Granger would always think of him as a wicked, horrible person. He got to the portrait of the old man guarding the common room and gave him the password. "Heads home" Draco called. The portrait creaked open and allowed him in.
Hermione was waiting for Draco beside the fire on the couch. He walked over and sat next to her, though making sure to leave some space between them.
"So Malfoy how are we going to live in peace without ripping each others heads off?" Hermione asked. "Well for a starter you can call me Draco" "And what if I don't want to?" She asked. "Just do it Granger, I mean Hermione" "I didn't give you permission to call me that" Hermione replied indignantly. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I needed permission to call anyone by their first name" Draco snarled back. "Ok, Ok you're right I'm Hermione, you're Draco" She replied grudgingly. Draco's heart leapt, as Hermione said his first name. "Good, now I don't want to arrange set times to use the common room, if one of us is in here the other has to accept it and share, got it?" Draco asked. "That seems fair. Now my turn I don't want Crabbe or Goyle in here" Hermione said. "As I don't want Potter or Weasley here, the only people that are allowed in here is us two, agreed?" Draco asked. "Agreed" Hermione replied.
Draco and Hermione discussed a few other rules and then Hermione let out a yawn. "You sound tired, go to bed" Draco said to her. "Ok Goodnight Draco" "Goodnight and thank you for being so co-operative" "No problem" She relied smiling and went into her room.
Did Hermione just smile at me, Draco thought. She did! Things are getting better. I may even be able to become her friend! Even though she will never love me the way I love her. Draco thought as he climbed into his bed. Well what did you think? Let me know reviews are important to me, so please, please review!
