Sorry I haven't updated for a while I have been being rather lazy! But it is here now! I am going to try and add another chapter before the week ends too! Thanks for all my reviews you don't know how much they mean to me. (whether it's 4 or 400!)
Disclaimer: All the characters are J.K.Rowlings and I couldn't have made this fic otherwise. If my story seems like anyone else's I am sorry, as this idea was one I thought of.
Chapter 4- Being civil.
The next morning Hermione felt much better about having to share living space with Draco. She realised he had been quite polite and had made more of an effort to try and make things work than she had. Hermione got ready for the day ahead (got dressed and washed and trudged to the common room that she and Draco shared.
He was sitting on the couch as though waiting for her. Draco stood up and walked towards Hermione. He looked her in the eyes. Gosh he has nice eyes, Hermione thought then shuddered at what she had been thinking.
"Are you cold" Draco asked sounding slightly concerned. "No I'm ok thanks" Hermione replied smiling. I wish she wouldn't smile at me like that it makes me want to take her in my arms and - Hermione brought him back to the real world by asking "Draco is there something that you wanted?" "Oh I was just waiting to see if you wanted to walk to the Great Hall for breakfast with me that's all" He replied rather quietly.
Hermione was shocked being civil was one thing but Draco Malfoy, going out of his way to be kind was hard to believe. She had a sneaking suspicion there was a side to Draco that not many people knew about.
"Well I don't mind but are you sure you aren't worried about what your friends will say" Hermione asked. "Look that's their problem, besides it's only walking, I mean, how much can they say about it?" "If your ok with it then I am" She said and they headed out of the Common room together. Draco had to fight hard to hide his glee.
On the way to The Great Hall Hermione and Draco discussed the lessons they were about to have during the day. They only stopped talking when they reached The Great Hall and walked in. It wasn't silent but the chatter had certainly died down as people turned in their seats to see Hermione and Draco being civil to each other.
"See you later" The both said rather quietly and then quickly walked towards their house tables.
As Hermione sat down Ron just stared at her but Harry (for Hermione's sake) ignored the glances she was getting from people around them.
"Why were you walking with him?" Ron asked with a slight bitterness in his voice. "Oh Ron do grow up we were walking in the same direction after all, me and Draco talked last night and made a few ground rules" Hermione said. "Oh it's Draco now is it" Ron sneered. "Yes we decided on a first name basis as to keep things civil" Hermione replied in a matter of fact voice.
Ron couldn't think of anything else to say so he simply tutted and then, returned to his breakfast. Harry on the other hand smiled at Hermione. "I'm glad you sorted it out Hermione, you don't seem as miserable today" Hermione beamed at Harry "Thanks for your support Harry, I really appreciate it" "No problem"

Hermione had a tiring day. Even though she was by far the best student in the school she still found the work very demanding. She had ate her dinner quickly and left Harry and Ron talking about Quidditch. She entered the heads common room. Draco had just emerged form the bathroom wearing a towel wrapped round his waist and the rest of his body was bare. Nice body, did I just thin that! Stop it brain stop it! Draco noticed Hermione taking in his appearance and blushed slightly, though Hermione did not seem to notice.
"Do you want a game of chess or something Hermione?" Draco asked. "Thank you for offering but I'm rather tired I think I will just settle down with a book" "Oh ok" Draco was a little disappointed; He couldn't really make conversation whilst she was reading. Hermione fetched herself a book whilst Draco got changed in his room. He emerged in a pair of sweats and nothing else, his wet hair falling freely to his face.
Hermione had to admit to herself he did look rather attractive, as she looked up from her book and noticed he had a one in his had to he also had cookies and a canister of some drink.
"Hot chocolate?" He asked as he settled on the end of the couch Hermione was sitting at. "Yes please" she replied politely. Draco pulled his wand from his sweat pant pocket, and flicked it, two mugs appeared. He poured the steaming chocolate and handed one to Hermione. 'Thanks" She said.
Draco hadn't been to dinner that day; he had instead stopped of at the kitchens so he could eat alone. He placed the cookies between them and told Hermione to help herself.
The rest of the evening was spent in silence as both read, Draco sneaking regular glances at Hermione. He thought she was perfect, beautiful his only wish was that she could become his.
Hermione herself lifted her eyes from her book to look at Draco once or twice. She was surprised to discover she actually felt comfortable in his presence. Hermione's eyes were drooping, she knew she was tired and needed sleep but was too comfortable to move. She drifted off into a peaceful sleep. The next time Draco sneaked a look at Hermione she was fast asleep. He stood up quietly and lifted her into his arms. He was surprised at how light she was. Hermione must have been in a deep sleep, as she did not stir at all.
Draco carried her to her room, pulled out the covers, lowered her slowly into bed and then tucked her under the blankets. He stood a moment taking in her beauty.
Then he kissed the tips of his fingers and put them to her head. "Goodnight Hermione" He whispered before leaving her room and going to his own.
What did you think? I'm sorry this chapter is a little uneventful but I don't want the story to seem rushed, anyway please, please, please review!
