Small Summary: 'Look at the other chapters for this!'

Chapter Summary: Hermione and Draco spend their second day at Cat's place! Will they find comfort in one another? Or will they reject the comfort and try to move on?


Last Time: Hermione and Draco chose 2 muggle-performers, saw 2 Scream movies (Hermione was a little scared because of them) and they began getting to know each other!

'Well remember when I said that after seeing a scary movie I start to think about all those scary things from the movie?' he nodded 'well every time I close my eyes to try to fall asleep I see that stupid guy with his mask before my eyes....and I can't fall asleep...' He stared at her 'euh...well then what are you doing here?'

Her face turned bright red at this 'Well I was wondering if you would mind if I spend the night here...because I can't sleep if I'm alone...'


Ch 05 – Comfort??

Hermione looked at the floor after she asked him if she could spend the night with him. He was staring at her like she was a fool or something, at least that was what she thought he was doing.

'You would like to sleep here?' Draco asked curiously and saw her looking up at him. 'Well yeah... otherwise I wouldn't have any sleep this night... and I don't want to look exhausted in front of the wizard-bands tomorrow...' she answered him a little flushed.

Draco looked from her to the bed and then back to her 'yeah sure' she was a little taken back with this answer she at least thought he would discuss this a little further with her before turning her down. 'What did you say?' she asked thinking she heard him wrong.

'I said yeah sure, the bed is big enough, if we stayed each at our side of the bed I wouldn't mind it...' she nodded as he moved to one side of the bed. She walked inside of the room and closed the door behind her. Then she moved to the bed, and moved in under the covers. 'Thanks Draco' she said sincere. 'You're welcome Hermione...' he looked at her 'Goodnight' a smile came upon his face 'Goodnight' he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep again.

Hermione now felt comfortable, feeling the presence of someone else in the room, and after a couple of minutes she too fell asleep.


The Next Morning

Draco woke up when he felt someone else's presence. He looked up and saw Hermione lying against him with an arm resting on his chest. She was still asleep, and she wasn't aware of the fact that she was lying against him with an arm on his chest.

When he saw she was waking up a little he closed his eyes to see what how she was going to react. Hermione awoke from a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes she saw Draco's shoulder right in front of her eyes. She looked up at him and thought he was still asleep. She felt her arm lying on top of his chest and looked at it. And slowly pulled her arm back before laying her head back down to get some more rest.

Draco was surprised that she didn't freak out about this so he continued to act if he was still asleep. He stretched his arm that was lying under his head above her head, and turned to lie on his side, now facing Hermione.

She saw he was still asleep (she didn't know he was acting) and looked up at him, she felt comfort by his presence and cautiously snuggled against him, trying her best not to wake him up and felt completely at ease lying against him.

When he felt her snuggle up against him he was a little taken aback. And looked down to see brown hair right under his face. He smiled and didn't want this to end, he felt comfortable too...

She felt him move a little and quickly looked up and saw him looking at her 'sorry...' she wanted to withdraw quickly but before she could withdraw her self from his presence she felt an arm around her waist that hold her in her place.

'What are you doing Draco' she whispered. He smiled 'Just trying to make you comfortable...' he replied in a whisper. She pulled back 'This can't be Draco... I'm sorry...' she quickly got out of bed 'What did I do?' she said to herself when she was on the hallway, she had snuggled against him when she thought he was still fast asleep.

She quickly ran to her room and sat down. If they hadn't watched those stupid movies she wouldn't went to him last night. She sighed. How the hell could she face him this morning? She couldn't she quickly got in her bed and took some books out, I'm staying here till those bands are here!


Draco Malfoy was lost on his words. He was surprised, intimidated, shocked and everything in the same morning. And all because of Hermione Granger, the muggle-born witch who was accompanying him here. The Head Girl of this year, his study-buddy for this year.

He got out of his bed and took a robe to put on and walked to her bedroom and knocked 'Hermione?' he asked and tried to open the door, but it was locked. 'I'm staying in bed for the morning, please leave me alone' came the quiet response. 'Hermione!!! Please open the door!' he said. 'NO Leave ME Alone!!! Goddammit!' he knocked hardly on the door 'you can't keep yourself from coming out you know!'

'Well watch me! I'll stay in here till it's time to chose a band, and then I'm coming back here till it's time to go back!!!' she yelled at the door. He tried everything to get her out, but she didn't give in, she even didn't reply anymore... he was just talking, yelling and screaming at her to get her to open the door, but she kept reading...

When he gave up he walked to the kitchen and took something to eat, then sat down in the library on a large couch, and stared into nothing really specific...

An hour later while Draco still stared into the nothingness of the room Cat entered the room. 'Hey Draco go welcome or guests while I'll get Miss Granger' she smiled at him and he walked to the door while Cat went up to get Hermione. She knocked on the door 'Mione? It's Cat, can you please get out? The guests are here!'

'Yeah ok, I'm coming...' she was going to give Draco a hard time, he had given her a hard time over the last hours, she was thinking of nothing else then him, she had read exactly 1 page in her book, now he was going to suffer! She walked to her backpack and took her nice summer-dress out of it. And quickly put it on...


It wasn't really warm but she just wanted to surprise the shit out of that stupid Malfoy, she let her hair hang loose around her shoulders, there were small curls in it. She put on a little lip-gloss, nothing bright, only a little sparkling. And walked downstairs, when she entered the hall all eyes turned to her, she flushed a little but quickly came into her role.

'Hello everyone, thanks for joining us here, my name is Hermione Granger, I am a 7th year at Hogwarts, and the Head Girl of my year! This is my partner for this project, and Head Boy of the 7th year, Draco Malfoy!' she pointed at him and quickly continued with her little speech. 'I am pleased to inform you all, that we will chose one band out of all 10, and they can play at the first End of School Party of Hogwarts.'

Draco looked at her in shock, she was full of confidence, self-esteem, power and what most shocked him she was looking absolutely stunning, she was a natural beauty... this dress fell around her curves like it was her second skin, but it didn't look anything like Pansy's dresses, those were skanky, no Hermione looked elegant in them, sexy... mind-blowing...

Hermione continued to introduce everyone to everyone and then she sat down on a chair and started choosing between the bands. She didn't discuss a thing with Draco she was only talking with Cat.

At the end there were 2 bands left, but she couldn't make her decision so she had to talk to Draco whom was sitting on the other side of her... 'What do you think we would choose mister Malfoy? Do you think we would go with "Gothic Magick" or "Sweet and Magical"?' she asked him looking up at him...

He was a little taken back with the Mister Malfoy thing but didn't react on it 'I don't know Miss Granger, I think the girls at Hogwarts will prefer Sweet and Magical above Gothic Magick...' she nodded and turned back to Cat.

'We go with Sweet and Magical, I'm going to pack my bags, see you later...' she got up and walked to her room. Draco followed her and stopped her from entering her room. 'we NEED to talk!!' she glared at him 'WE don't need anything Malfoy! Leave me alone!'

'I can't!' he said, 'I don't know how, because all I can do since this morning with you lying in my arms' her face flushed a little at this 'is think about how soft you are, how sweet and comforting... and I haven't had anybody in my whole life where I felt comfort ...'

Hermione stared at him 'well that was nice..., I still can't do this... now leave please!!' he nodded slightly and left to his room for some last minute packing...
