Hermione and Draco got changed before they went into the train. They couldn't draw any attention to themselves so they were wearing muggle clothes. Hermione looked at Draco sleeping. He looked so peaceful. He was much taller than she remembered and his hair was slicked back. His body looked more developed and the sun bleached his hair pale blond. Hermione stop it! This is MALFOY you're talking about. I guess the heat in here is really getting to me.
Hermione spent the next hour reviewing her notes. She was startled when she heard Malfoys deep voice, "Granger don't you study enough?"
"I have nothing better to do," said Hermione not looking once at Malfoy.
"Jeez, Granger if you want someone to talk to ill get a scar on my forehead then maybe we can-"
"Malfoy for once in your life can you act normal!"
At this point Professor McGonagall entered the compartment. "You two better stop fighting! You are representing Hogwarts students. You two ought to be working on getting along," and with that remark the Professor left leaving Hermione and Draco in complete silence.
Hermione finally broke the silence, "Seeing that the only way we can get along is ignoring each other I'm going to study for the charms exam." Hermione started taking out her books and notes. All of a sudden she felt Draco sitting next to her. His warm breath was tickling her ear. "Malfoy you scared me what on bloody hell are you doing?"
"I'm copying your notes what does it look like I'm doing," he answered in his know-it-all-voice.
"But, I already have to tutor you-" she stopped. This was the first time she was bringing up the task to Draco's face.
"You know for someone so smart you really are clueless Granger," Draco said, "You don't think I really want to spend an hour a week when we return being tutored by a know-it-all mudblood do you?"
"ER-" she started but Draco kept talking, "I know your disappointed seeing how I'm devilishly handsome and all that but-"
"Malfoy don't flatter yourself!" said Hermione pulling the notes to her chest, "I wasn't planning on wasting my time helping an arrogant self-centered-"
"Relax, Granger, relax don't get your knickers in a twist," he said as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

Draco finally awoke. He was laying on Hermione, his head on her shoulder. He quickly sat up. Hermione was asleep. She smells so good and… DRACO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!
Draco watched as Hermione awoke. "Sleep Good?" he asked. Since I'm going to be stuck with Granger for so long might as well try to get along.
"Er- I guess" said Hermione yawning. She tossed her curly hair over her shoulder and looked through her bag.
"You aren't studying again are you?"
"I 'pose so after all we are taki-" started Hermione but Draco interrupted her.
"You really shouldn't think about exams so much its so bloody annoying can't you just enjoy a break."
"Of course I can… and I don't only think about exams!" said Hermione.
"Right-"
"So its better to spend your time thinking about people like Pansy is it?"
"Not Pansy I would never think about her-"
"Do you mean that Mr. Malfoy doesn't like Pansy?" said Hermione sarcastically. "I thought you'd enjoy her company every so often to get a few laughs. Oh Draco don't you like my new robes? They come all the way from Sweden," said Hermione in a voice that sounded to similar to Pansy's.
Draco started to laugh, "You know Granger you sound just like her."
Hermione looked at Draco. She had never seen him laugh before, she only witnessed smirks. His appearance seemed to changed so quickly. He looked warm and lighthearted.
Hermione looked out the window and quickly turned around. She felt sick. They were so up high. She could feel her face pale.
Draco noticed right away, "Your scared of heights aren't you Granger?"
"I er...well yea I am," said Hermione. "I don't feel so good."
"Needless to say you don't look so good either."
Hermione shot him a look. "Here," said Draco handing her a pill. "Take these."
"What are they?" she asked curiously remembering what Harry and Ron said about being careful.
"Jeez, Granger they are just to make you feel better calm down."
"Er...thank you," said Hermione taking the pills. She was surprised that she was feeling better already. "Where did you learn to-"
"You aren't the only wizard who knows magic you know," he said.
"I know Draco," she replied.
Did she just call me Draco?
"You called me Draco?" he asked.
"Yeah well we should get used to calling each other by our first names you know. I mean we don't want the other students to think we didn't get along."
"Your right Gran- Hermione," he said. It feels so weird calling her by her first name.
