I wasn't sure when we first began
That you were better than
Any other man
I wanted you to prove you were my Superman
Played hard to get when we first met
Not gonna give in yet wanna make you sweat
Didn't want to connect and loose my self-respect
Didn't expect your impure effect
Didn't know I'd found
My serpentine romeo
Hit with cupid's bow
It was touch and go
Yes and no
Are you friend or foe?
I've got a right to know
'Cause when you said hello
We did a do si do
High and low
Although it's ready, set, go
Under the mistletoe
I'm caught in the undertow
With my serpentine romeo

Chapter Two - Unwelcome Attraction

As soon as Hermione got off the train, she hurried towards the carriage Ron and Harry were climbing into.
" Hey Hermione! " Harry called, offering her a hand up. She took it and sat down next to Ron.
" I hope you didn't have a horrible time. " Ron said, " Who's Head Boy? " Hermione huffed and leaned back into the seat.
" I'm guessing you don't like them? " Harry asked.
" Malfoy. " Hermione attempted to scowl instead of blushing furiously.
" And you have to live with him? " Ron looked disgusted. Harry made a face that suggested he was about to throw up. " I swear, if he so much as looks at you the wrong way ... " he trailed off.
" Ron! Violence doesn't solve anything! " Hermione scolded. Actually, when she thought about it, Hermione wouldn't mind being violent with Malfoy ... just not in the way Ron meant. She accidentally giggled.
" Hermione, did you just giggle? " Harry asked, looking a bit frightened. Hermione cleared her throat.
" No, of course not. " Her eyes never left the window for the remainder of the carriage ride.
Once they were inside the Great Hall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table. Hermione couldn't help but glance up at Draco a few times, quickly looking away when he looked back.
[-]
Why Hermione Granger was staring at him was definitely a mystery. During the train ride, he couldn't help but notice that she certainly had transformed in the looks department since fifth year. How was he going to get through this year, living in such close quarters with her? But, Draco loved a challenge.
After the feast, Draco was approached by Professor Snape.
" Draco. " Snape greeted.
" Severus. " Draco smirked.
" Please follow me. " Out of the corner of his eye, Draco noted Hermione following Professor McGonagall up the grand staircase. Finally, they stopped at a painting of Galileo on the third floor. Hermione and McGonagall were waiting for them.
" This will be your home for the rest of the year. " McGonagall gestured to the painting.
" Frog Spawn. " Snape said, causing the portrait to creak open. Draco's eyes went wide when he entered the common room. It was beautifully decorated in scarlet, green, gold, and silver. He looked over at Hermione and saw that she looked quite impressed as well.
" Mr. Malfoy, your room is on the left, Hermione, yours the right. " Professor McGonagall then left with Snape.
" Well, um ... I'm just going to ... " Hermione trailed off and pointed to her room.
" Yeah, me too. " Draco agreed, and they went their respective ways.
Draco's room was appropriately adorned in green and silver. His trunk had already been unpacked and his clother were neatly hung in the wardrobe. He noticed a door next to the desk and went through it to investigate the bathroom. Hermione was already there, putting her toothbrush in a holder. She looked up as he came in.
" Hey. " she said. He raised an eyebrow.
" Hey. "
" Goodnight. "
" Night. " Draco watched her go back to her room before turning to get ready for bed.
[-]
Hermione's alarm clock woke her up at 6 o'clock the following morning. She yawned and rubbed her eyes before climbing out of her bed.
She opened the door to the bathroom and made a strangled sound in the back of her throat. Draco Malfoy was standing before the mirror, brushing his teeth, in nothing but black boxers. She grabbed the doorframe in order to keep herself upright. He looked at her curiously.
" Granger, are you alright? " Draco asked. Hermione couldn't help but look down at Draco's gorgeous six pack. Thank Merlin for Quidditch. She whimpered. He recoiled.
" Granger?! Did you just whimper? You're frightening me! "
" Sorry, I don't feel well. " She said quickly, grabbing her toothbrush.
" Obviously. " he muttered.
[-]
While brushing his teeth, Draco couldn't help but look over at Herm--Granger. She really shouldn't wear such skimpy things to bed. She was wearing very short light pink shorts with a matching tank top. He couldn't help but wonder what she had been whimpering about earlier.
They finished brushing their teeth at approximately the same time.
" Granger, I need to take a shower. "
" What? Oh, right. " She blushed darkly and hurried out of the bathroom. He rolled his eyes. She was so strange.
[-]
Hermione couldn't help but wish that she was in that shower with him.
" Hermione! " she scolded herself aloud while brushing her hair in the mirror above her wardrobe, " He's a cruel, sadistic bastard! You do not want his body! "
" That's right dear. Keep telling yourself that. " The mirror commented. Hermione scowled. About fifteen minutes later, Hermione knocked softly on the bathroom door.
" Are you done? "
" Yeah. " Hermione walked in to see Draco slicking back his hair in the mirror wearing - you guessed it - a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. ' Damn him! Put some clothes on! ' Hermione thought.
" Well, I need to take a shower, so if you don't mind. "
" Whatever, Granger. It's nothing I haven't seen before. " Hermione gaped. Draco saw her expression reflected in the mirror and smirked. " Calm down, I was just joking! "
" You are so perverse. " She informed him as he opened the door to his room.
" What?! That wasn't a joke, I have seen it all before. " He winked at her before retreating through the door. She scowled. ' What I would have give to hurt that stupid prat. ' She thought while climbing into the shower. ' Just bruise him severely ... particularly his lips ... ' Hermione made an annoyed noise before she immediately ceased this train of thinking.
[-]
" What the hell is my problem? " Draco asked himself, " Malfoy's flirting with mudbloods! What is the world coming to? " He heard a frustrated gasp come from the bathroom. His brow furrowed briefly before he got dressed and headed down to breakfast.
Draco returned to the common room during his free period before lunch to find Hermione sprawled out on a couch reading. Tendrils of her hair fell over her eyes, and she kept tossing her head back to prevent it. She looked absolutely adorable to Draco, but he wouldn't admit that to anything short of Avada Kedavra. So, he simply pretended to ignore her, and also began reading. However, he was still on page three half an hour later. How was he supposed to get anything done?
Damn her for being so tempting!
[-]
Hermione hadn't turned the page since Draco walked in. They couldn't really expect people to get work done with Draco Malfoy walking around could they?
It should definitely be illegal to look that sexy while reading.
