Hermione was in a little state of shock because of the events that all happened in about 5 minutes, so she too went upstairs and flopped on her bed. She laid there for a while, thinking about how easily she gave into Draco's piercing blue eyes and how she marveled over his power and.....

A knock on the door, and Hermione thought that Draco had gotten up and was going to try again. Before she could say anything, the door flew open, and there stood a very naked Draco.

Hermione shut her eyes quickly and rolled her head to the other side. He spoke, "Granger, I am going to take a shower." Hermione spoke loudly with some rage, "Well, go ahead! I don't know why you have to notify me about it, especially when you are buck naked like that!" Draco smirked and then laughed wildly. He placed a towel around him and walked over to Hermione's head, with her eyes still shut tight. He tried to speak, but he couldn't, not when she was so innocently laying there with nothing to be discontent about. He leaned down towards her, and just stared at her beauty that resonated in the room. The room itself seemed automatically Hermione's. . . it smelled like "Warm Vanilla Sugar", or so the bottles of lotion and room spray said. He softly kissed her on her forehead and darted away into the bathroom. Hermione kept her eyes closed until Draco had closed both her door and the bathroom door, and then she slowly got up and inspected her face. She smiled and thought, "Wow. . . does that brainless dweeb actually have, oh jeez, a crush on me? The way he stares into my eyes. . . I just seem to melt and . . . what am I saying???" She sighed, there was no way she could deny it to herself anymore... "I am falling for Draco Malfoy... one of the most undeniably rude and self-centered people here at Hogwarts. Oh, but his eyes..."

She got up and wandered in the hallway. Seeing that there was steam pouring out from under the door of the bathroom, she jiggled the door to find it ajar. She looked in to see Draco's reflection in the mirror. There he was, standing in all of his naked glory, singing Three Days Grace's "I Hate Everything About You". Hermione had to admit, he was very hot, and he wasn't that bad at singing. She was wondering why she was there and why she had gone there in the first place... but then she saw the perfect opportunity to get Draco's attention, and maybe even get another little glance at him in the nude.

Draco turned off the shower, and reached out for his towel.... Reached out... for his towel... his towel was not there. He opened the shower curtain, and that is when Hermione heard a roar from inside the door of the bathroom.

Draco hollered, "HERMIONE!!! GIVE ME BACK THAT DAMN TOWEL AND MY CLOTHES!!!"

Hermione giggled and scampered into her room. Sure enough, Draco stomped into the room with the rug off of the bathroom floor around his waist. His abdomen was wet from the shower, and all Hermione could do was look at him speechlessly.

Draco could tell that Hermione wasn't about to give him back his towel or clothes, so he repeated himself, which he hated to do. "Hermione, give me back my towel NOW!" Hermione grinned and sniggered and said, "Go get another one if you want one so bad." Draco hadn't thought about this possibility, so he stormed into his room to find another one. However, by the sounds of Hermione's laughter and the bareness of his drawer, Draco stormed back to Hermione's room. Hermione had the green and silver towels in her hands and she was in the middle of the bed, sitting cross-legged.

Draco stared at her with curiosity. Hermione beckoned him towards her, and he sat on her bed, rug still wrapped around his hips. Hermione spoke softly, "Draco, why did you kiss me earlier?"

Draco was outraged. His eyebrows lowered and he spoke loudly, "What? That's why you took my towel and clothes? You're retarded Hermione, now just give me back my stuff!"

Hermione spoke again, "Why did you kiss me?"

Draco stared at her for a while, and then lowered his head. She was right, she did deserve an explanation for what he did, and sadly, so did he. He spoke barely over a whisper, "I think I am falling for you, Hermione."

Hermione froze. She had wanted him to say that and was expecting it, but now that he had said it, she didn't know what to do next.

There was, of course, an awkward silence, where they both sat, wondering what to do next. Draco had more doubts than Hermione because she hadn't said if she returned the feelings for him or not. But Hermione's next move gave Draco no doubt that they were on "the same page".

She put her hand on his. He looked at his hand, and then to Hermione. She handed him his towels, and he smirked. Hermione smiled back at him, Draco leaned in, and they shared their relationships first kiss.
