Ron settled back in his chair. Resting his hands behind his head he began to dose off. The warmth coming from the fire was causing his cheeks to become pink. Black was enclosing him, and the soft voices of the common room began to disappear.
People slowly filed out of the common room, leaving the sleeping red head to himself. Every few minutes his voice could be heard mumbling some odd phrase.
On the couch, lay another dosing red head. Her companion a dark haired boy with glasses. He softly stroked her hair, laughing quietly at her older brother.
Someone was missing though. Hermione hadn't been seen for hours. Earlier that morning, at breakfast, she received a note, and hadn't been seen since. The three friends sat in the common room awaiting her return.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Hermione silently climbed through the portrait hole into the common. Her friends sat amongst the room lay her three best friends who had fallen asleep. "They must've stayed up to wait for me."
She dropped her bag and walked further into the room. She picked up the blanket sliding off of the couple spread across the couch and laid it softly over the two. She crept back to where her boyfriend lay. She picked the cover off of him and settled in nicely against him. She pulled the cover back over and nestled her head against his chest, causing him to stir. "Hermione?"
"Hmm?" She asked closing her eyes softly. She moved a little getting more comfortable.
"Where were you?"
She opened her eyes. "Um. I was in the library."
"We checked there."
"I was probably using the loo."
"We checked 8 times."
"Hmmm. Maybe I was looking for a book."
"Oh." Ron sat back in his chair. She obviously wasn't going to tell him. "Goodnight then."
"Night." Hermione said as she settled into him.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~ Earlier that day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table. She was listening as Ginny talked about her herbology homework. She lifted her piece of toast to her mouth and took a bite of it, nodding her head as Ginny talked.
Their conversation stopped as owls came swooping into the Great Hall. A letter dropped onto Hermione's plate. The envelope was a smooth green one. It was sealed with a wax snake. She nervously picked up the letter and tore it open.
Ron watched as Hermione's face went pale. She stuffed the letter back into the green envelope and hoped up. She grabbed her bag before she turned and hurried out of the room. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned back to his food.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Hermione's eyes scanned over the letter for the second time.
Mudblood~ I know about the secret you share with Potter. I'm sure your Weasel of a boyfriend would love to know. Maybe I should tell him. If you want your secret to stay that way, meet me outside the Potions room after breakfast. Malfoy
She closed her eyes and stuffed the letter into her backpack, and leaned against the wall. She glanced down the hall. She felt like she'd been waiting forever. People were walking through the halls, which was a sign that everyone was leaving from breakfast.
"You're fast Granger." She turned around and looked at Malfoy.
"Get to the point Malfoy."
"Ah ah. No need to be so rude." He wagged a finger in her face, as his infamous cocky smirk appeared. She folded her arms across her chest and tapped her foot. "My my. Aren't we impatient?"
"Just tell me what you want."
"Okay then. First you can start with my divination homework."
"What? I don't even take Divination! I HATE divination."
"Oh that's too bad. I could always tell Weasley."
"No. Fine, I'll do it. Here." Malfoy gave her his books and she stuffed them into his bag.
"Meet me here tomorrow. Same time. Then we'll talk."
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~ Present Time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Hermione had finally gotten to sleep. Ron's arms wrapped tightly around her stomach, she soon forgot all about Malfoy.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
Hermione woke the next morning, alone. Ron and Harry were no where to be found. Like herself Ginny had awoken to find her boyfriend gone. "Morning Hermione. What time did you get back?"
"Around 2:00." She answered as she yawned and stretched her arms over her head.
"We were waiting for you. Was anyone awake when you got back?"
"No, I accidentally woke Ron up though."
"Yeah Accidentally. Right!" Hermione rolled her eyes as Ginny giggled.
~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~
After breakfast the four were standing outside the Great Hall. Ron stood in embrace with Hermione. She ran her fingers through his hair, and brushed her lips across his.
Fred, George, and Lee were standing behind them making out with themselves "charade-style". Harry and Ginny stood by watching, and laughing.
"GRANGER!" Hermione broke away from Ron and turned. Malfoy was running at the couple. His fist was shaking and his face was red. "Have you forgotten something?"
"Oh Shit!"
Ron, Harry, and Ginny watched Hermione sceptically as she followed Malfoy down the hall
