Chapter 3: The Second Hour
Time: 8:35
Draco threw the pillow off his head as he sat straight up and glared at Hermione. "If you're so damn hungry, go find yourself some bloody food and stop complaining to me!" Hermione stopped talking and stared at Draco with a straight face. "The sooner I get to sleep, the sooner this will be over," Draco said as he threw himself hard onto the ground.
"Okay, fine," Hermione calmly said as she stood up. "Won't be my problem when you're sitting here whining because you didn't get any candy when I broke into Honeydukes," she said with a grin as she stared walking towards the legendary candy store.
"What?" Draco said in disbelief as he sat up again.
"Yes, you heard me right Draco Malfoy. I'm breaking into Honeydukes because of course I, Hermione Granger, can't have any of the candy that you bought earlier. I'm considered to be lower than you, therefore making you're candy more important than me. Isn't that right?" Hermione said calmly even though she was furious. How dare he not give her any of the food he had even though she was starving!? But then again, he was Draco Malfoy.
"That's exactly right," Draco said, anger rising. "Now go off. Steal your stupid candy, while I sit here and enjoy mine," Draco said with a smirk on his face.
"Uhhhhh!!!" Hermione stomped off, turned the corner and started walking towards her destination.

8:58 PM
Hermione had been trying for the last twenty minutes to try to get past the alarm charm on the door to Honeydukes. After one more try, she finally got frustrated.
"Ahh!" she screamed and kicked the door. The alarm started to go off, "Damn it! Ah, bloody hell." She quickly quieted the alarm.
"Having a little trouble there?" She turned around quickly only to stare right into the eyes of Draco Malfoy. She hurriedly backed away for fear of being in too close a proximity to him.
"Why, what's it to you?" she asked, annoyed.
"Well, you see I must have dropped my bag of sweets in my hurry to be on time therefore leaving me with none, and well frankly I'm quite hungry too," Draco stated casually, taking a step and closing the gap between the two. "I came to see if you've managed to break the charm yet, a difficult one to break if I remember it correctly. Seeing as you haven't broken it yet, I'll just wait here," with that said, he sat down on the sidewalk.
"You mean to say, that you've broken in here before, know the counter-spell to break the charm, and are going to sit here and wait until I figure it out?" Hermione said, her anger rising again. She knew he was doing this just to annoy her.
"Ummm, yea, that's exactly what I'm saying," Draco said, a smirk itching free on the corners of his lips.
"Oh, good," Hermione said putting an innocent smile on her face, "I'll just join you until you figure out a good time to tell me what the counter-spell is," she said, still smiling and taking a seat next to him. He just glared at her, overly annoyed that she ruined his fun.

9:12 PM
"Now a good time?" Hermione asked as she lay on her back on the sidewalk.
"No."
"Now?"
"No."
"How 'bout now?"
"No."
This had been going on for at least ten minutes, and Draco was finally starting to crack.
"I think now is a really good time."
"No."
"Why not?"
"I said 'no' Granger," Draco said, slightly annoyed, and still sitting in the same position as before.
"Now or never; I say now!" Hermione said sitting up with the biggest grin on her face. She could tell she was getting to him.
"Will you just shut-up!"
"No."
"Now?" Draco asked, a grin on his face.
"No."
"Is now a better time for you?"
"No."
"Now?"
Hermione opened her mouth to say no, but she realized what happened. "Damn it! How the hell did you do that?" Draco just broke into a fit of laughter.
"You know, for almost being Head Girl, you're really not that smart."
At this comment Hermione forgot about everything else. She was supposed to be Head Girl, even Draco knew that. Draco saw the look on her face at his comment.
"If it makes you feel any better," Draco said, completely forgetting who he was talking to, "you should have been head girl, not that air-headed bimbo that I now have to share a dormitory with."
Hermione glanced up from the piece of dirt she had been staring at, "You really think so?"
"Yea, I do," Draco said looking away.
'What the hell are you doing Draco?! This is Granger. Mudblood Granger. Why are you trying to comfort her?! If anything you should be having fun because you put her down. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Pull yourself together.' Draco thought to himself as he looked up at the night sky.

"Malfoy, I know I'm going to regret this, but could you please just open the door, I'm starving," Hermione pleaded much to her dismay, but she really was hungry.
"Maybe later Granger."
"Uh!! You make me so mad," she said through her teeth making her comment barely audible. She flipped over onto her stomach so she could see Draco from the side.
'Merlin he makes me so mad! But I love his hair that way. What are you saying now Hermione, that you like the way he looks? Oh come off it, you know you've always liked the way he looks. Stop denying it. I guess I never really noticed it before though. His hair, his face, his arms, his…oh Merlin Hermione, he's turning you on! How the hell?! Look away Hermione, just look away.' She thought to herself while pounding her head onto her arms.
'Wow, she even more messed up than I thought,' Draco thought to himself as he raised an eyebrow at her crazed act.
"Jeez Granger if you're so hungry that you must throw your head against something, then I guess that now is a good time."
"Good time to tell me the counter-spell?" Hermione asked, grin on her face and eyebrows raised with anticipation.
"No. Good time for me to open the door." Hermione's face sunk in disappointment, "It could take awhile though," Draco commented.

9:35
After a few grueling minutes, Draco managed to break the alarm charm. They both stepped through the door into what would most likely be a great time.
