Unexpected

Hermione

I quietly crept out of my room. It was half past midnight and most other students were already in their beds sleeping. I however, was not sleepy and with thoughts of my responsibilities rampaging in my mind, I decided to take a small night stroll. The fire in the Head Boy and Girl common room was still blazing, and I saw that Draco Malfoy had fallen asleep on one of the tables.

I sighed. I knew I couldn't let him sleep here, and on top of his homework.

Walking over to him, I noticed how peaceful his face was when he wasn't awake. His face was relaxed and he almost seemed like a small innocent child. Some of his blonde hair had rid of his gel and was covering his forehead. I guessed that is was from his Quidditch practice. I looked at the many books scattered on the table around him. I moved them around carefully, trying hard not to make much noise. He must have been busy with all the homework we got today.

He grumbled in his sleep and turned his head the other way. I placed my hand over his shoulder and shook him lightly. "Draco… wake up." He growled softly but I didn't back down. "Draco Malfoy wake up." I shook him a little harder and he stirred. He looked around and then faced me with an irritated look on his face. "Wha you whan Grayn..jer?" I looked at him, my patience not wavering.

"You didn't look very comfortable sleeping like that Draco. Come on I'll help you to your room." Surprisingly, he didn't reply and allowed me to steer him to his room. I helped him remove his shoes and school robes and I put them aside on a chair. He smiled slyly and sleepily. Noticing, I shook my head. "No Malfoy. No." He smirked and shrugged, too tired to come back with a snappy comeback. I helped him into bed, and he fell asleep as soon as his head hit his pillow.

Did I mention that he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping?

So innocent.

So adorable.

Different. Not like how I saw him while he was awake.

And.. He looked real.

He turned and some of his hair fell into his closed eyelids. I sat down on his bed and gently brushed them away. A soft sigh escaped his lips and I saw the corners of his mouth rise into a small smile. I was entranced. Probably getting drowsy I reasoned with myself. I stood up and made my way towards his door, when I heard a soft mumble. I turned around and slowly walked over to his bedside again.

"...Hermione…"

My heart leapt and I grinned.

He had said my name.

I didn't realize that I was standing there for about five minutes staring at him sleep, until the grandfather clock downstairs sounded that it was one in the morning. I snapped out of my daze and headed to my own room for some rest. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I had a big goofy grin on my face. I combed my hair quickly and washed up before slipping under my bed covers.

Having him around more often wasn't so bad I had realized. He was a little nicer and I had unexpectedly fallen for his sexy smile and witty and bad boy personality. He was maturing these past two years, and he had even decided to become a light side spy and was training to be an Auror. He was even being a little nice to Harry when they weren't around so much people.

Now I knew what the other girls felt, swooning over him. At first, I wasn't really happy that he was my prefect partner for last year. Now we were Head partners. I knew why they swooned at him in the halls, and why they tried to get him to notice them. I realized that he was changing for the better. He was now able to be himself, since Harry last year, defeated the Dark Lord and his father now dead.

My smile didn't leave and he was the last thought on my mind before I slipped into a dreamless sleep.

Who would've known that he would be the one to capture my heart?

'It was unexpected that I fall in love with you…'

It was so unexpected
I didn't see it coming
But now its here,
Now that I feel it in my very veins
I must admit
It was unexpected that I fall in love with you…

A/N: Short I know. Sorry I'm a little tired, and I should be sleeping or studying at least to get my learner's license. I've added another chapter, and I'm kinda pleased.
