Hey guys, yaya for reviews, lol! Sorry for some of the nonextistant correctuions on the last chapter..it messed up and closed the document when I saved it so all my changes were gone but here is the next chapter..I'm not sure you'll like the flow because all these chapters had multiple postings to make one chapter on the other site so the exciting/ cliffy parts aren't where they should be..anyway here we go.

*~Chapter 3: Bathroom Buddies~*

Hermione woke at 7.30 the next morning. She yawned and turned over, quickly falling back asleep. When she finally woke back up it was 8 O'clock! She hadn't looked at the time yet though so she just lay under her sheets. The comforter was the coziest thing she had ever slept in; she felt she could just lie there forever. But she knew she had to get up at sometime so she rolled back over and looked at the clock.

"hmmmm..8 O'clock," she mumbled, then her eyes snapped open again." 8 O'LOCK! OMG!" She jumped out of bed and started frantically going through her drawers. She picked out a pair of sweatpants and a white top to wear underneathe her robes. Then she went to her closet and pulled out one of her brand new robes she had gotten this summer. She threw everything on the bed ready for later, grabbed her shower stuff and headed out of her room. She was so busy worrying about being late to class she didn't hear the water running.

The Head Boy and Girl had one bathroom in their common room. It had one gigantic bathtub and a shower stall. As Hermione bustled into the bathroom she looked in the closet. Aha! One bathrobe and one Gryffindor towel for her hair. She noticed the bathrobe wasn't Gryffindor but Slytherin.

She spent the better part of 5 minutes looking for her bathrobe but it wasn't there. Oh well, she'd have to settle for the Slytherin one. She began to undress and threw her clothes in a corner. The water stopped. She hung the towel and the bathrobe up next to a slytherin towel and proceeded towards the door to the shower. She was rubbing her eyes as she reached the door so she couldn't tell there was somebody already occupying the stall.

She reached towards the handle and pulled the door open....

As Hermione looked up she saw something she hadn't expected to see. DRACO MALFOY, STARK NAKED AND DRIPPING WET! She screamed; he smirked.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" she was petrified, yet somehow not. He did have a gorgous body, that was for sure. All the years of training had certainly done his abs a favour. He had a defined 6-pack and the muscles in his arms flexed as he reached up to squeeze excess water from his hair. This was the first time Hermione had ever seen his hair any other way than slicked back. He had washed all the gel out of his glistening blonde hair and it was still dripping.

"You mind?" he asked, pointing to the towel rack.

"I, uhhh...err" she said, stunned for words. Hermione could never before remember being speechless. Against her better judgement, she allowed her eyes to travel southward (A/N Heehee) but quickly removed them. Then she turned to the towels and grabbed a Slytherin one. She sighed deeply as she handed it to Draco, expecting him to cover his -ahem- area. Instead he brought it up to his head and began drying his hair. Hermione watched horrified as he roughly got all the water from his hair and then threw it in the hamper (the towel, not his hair, lol). As she now looked at his hair, out of control and extremely untidy she, liked what she saw. Hermione had never liked his hair slicked back, it made him stand out a little too much; not like his striking good looks or deep grey eyes didn't already do that. This made him look more normal and little less -dare she say it- evil.

His eyes traveled up and down and he cocked and eyebrow. It was just then that Hermione realized that she too, was not wearing any clothes.

"Oh gosh," she said, embarrassed. She put a hand to her face as if trying to hide.

"You know, that won't make you any more clothed, uhh, Hermione" he noted, chuckling. He seemed to be enjoying this whole-heartedly.

She threw him a nasty look, which proved harder than she expected. Grabbing two towels, she shoved one at him and attempted to cover herself up with the other. When she looked up, he had fastened the towel around his waist, but his chest was still bare. She couldn't stop staring. Hermione mentally kicked herself.

"I errr, uhhh yeah" she managed to get out, pointing at the shower.

"Sure, go ahead, I was just on my way out when you, err, decided to crash my party." he smirked, " see you around, Hermione" he added. As he made his way to the door, he gave her bum a sharp tap, "it was nice talking!" and then he shut the door with a snap.

Feeling thourally (sp?) harassed, Hermione picked up her shower stuff and only removed her towel once safely inside the stall.

As Hermione finished up her shower she glanced at her watch. 8.25. Good, she still had time to get dressed and have breakfast before Transfiguration started. She turned off the water, climbed out of the shower and put on a robe. As she wrapped her hair in a towel, she picked up her stuff and headed back to her room. Stopping just short of the pink door, she looked over at the other one. Draco's door. She sighed and reached for the knob. Just as she was turning it, Draco walked out of his room, half dressed and wearing a confused look on his face. He looked at her. She looked at him.

"Err, you o.k? You look lost" she asked.

"I err, can't find one of my bags. It has all my books in it." he said, as he began scouting the room.

"Oh, sorry, I'll look if I can, but I have to get ready now" she offered.

"Right, uhh, thanks, Hermione." he replied as he lifted the couch cushions. She wasn't quite sure why he thought he'd find it under there but he was looking none-the-less.

"Look" pause "Draco, I'm uhh, really sorry about that, err, thing this morning. I was running late, wasn't paying attention." she said, her cheeks flushing. It was embarassing bringing it back up but she had been raised to apologize when she made mistakes and that was a mistake.

He looked up.

"Oh, it's fine.... semi-amusing, actually" he smirked. But it wasn't his usual smirk, it was more kind, more friendly.

"Haha, yes, i suppose it was. Anyway, see you around, hope you find your bag" she said before stepping into her room.

She hurriedly got dressed, throwing her clothes on and began piling books into her bag. Potions, check. Transfiguration, check. Herbology, Check. Arithmancy, Check. Muggles studies, che- wait a minute, she didn't take muggle studies. She removed the book from her bag and opened it. Inside in perfectly written letters were the words, Property of: DRACO MALFOY. She checked all the other books she had been putting in her bag. They all had his name on them. Then she checked if the bag had anything else. It did. She found several pairs of shirts under the stack of books. And underneath the shirts were- BOXERS. Hermione giggled as she pulled out a pair of pink one's with red hearts. It looks like she was seeing the softer side of a Malfoy. She put all the books and shirts back in, but kept the boxers in her hand. She zipped the bag shut again and walked back outside. It appeared Draco had given up his search and so she made her way to his door.

She knocked.

"Come in" came the reply. She opened the door, hiding the boxers behind her back.

"Uhhh, here, I found this in my room. They must have messed up and put one of your bags in my room." she put it on the bed. He looked at it and then at her.

"Err, thanks. " he said. Then, " umm, i think this is yours too." he handed her a big blue bag.

"Yes, I thought I had forgot it! Thank you so much" she said taking it from him.

"Jeeze, I've never seen someone get so excited about having their books returned to them. They aren't even schoolbooks. Are you sure your gonna be able to read all those this year?' he asked her.

She wrinkled her forhead.

"I've already read them all" He raise an eyebrow.

" I hate to say but you are impressive, Hermione. So, see you at class." he said, almost smiling.

"Yeah see you around." she made her way to the door.

"By the way, Draco, nice boxers" she giggled, throwing them at him.

His countenance faultered as he caught them.

"I err, they were a gift from my grandmother...I uhh don't wear them...much"

"Suuurrre" she giggled again and shut the door.

After going back to her room and putting all her books on the shelf she had magicked onto her wall, hermione used a drying spell on her hair, ran a little gel through it, a little gloss over her lips, sprayed a spritz of perfume on herself and left with her bag over her shoulder.

She checked the time as she entered the great hall. 8.40, good, she had a good 15 minutes to eat. Sitting herself down between Harry and Ron, she put some eggs and bacon onto her plate and began to eat. Harry handed her a schedual just as the owls arrived. Hermione looked up and saw two owls swooping down to her. One dropped her copy of the The Daily Prophet on her toast and the other dropped a letter in Ron's juice.

"Hey!" he said, as the juice spilled.

"Oh Ron, stop being so dramatic, she waved her wand and the mess was cleared up. She paid the first owl, gave the second owl some bacon and picked up the letter. She opned it to find a letter from her parents.

Dear Hermione,

Just writing to make sure you got to school o.k. How is the Head girl dorm? I hope it's nice. Everything is well here. We'll send those books you couldn't fit in a few days. Dad's just finishing the last one!

Say hello to Ron and Harry for us.

Love,

Mum and Dad

She laid the letter down and opened the paper. Nothing interesting. She handed it to Harry who looked it over and handed it to Ron.

"Who's the letter from?" asked harry.

"My parents. They say hi, by the way. To you too Ron" she said.

"Cool. Tell them we say hey back. And tell them thanks again for the toothbrush on my birthday" he laughed.

She giggled, "You know dentists! Oh look, we better be off to Transfiguration" she grabbed the letter so she could write back later and they headed to class together.

A/N I just realized i've already said she had trans. first but she wouldn't know would she?! sorry about that!!

Anyway, long but I hope you liked it..many more amusing incidents coming!
