Hey! I hope you guys like this chappy. I know I said I wouldn't be updating til the 21st, but I've been working on this all week. And since finals were done today, I updated! Kudos to me! Lol. But I hope you guyz like this chappy! So here it is!
It was sixteen days after the start of classes, and now the 6th years were swamped.
"God! I can't believe how much homework we have!" Hermione exclaimed one night while her pile of work surrounded her.
"Hey, Ron, I never thought I'd see the day when Hermione Granger actually hated homework." Harry said behind his larger pile of books.
"I know, or the day that she would hate homework in general." Ron said laughing.
"Ha Ha." Hermione said sarcastically. She looked down at her homework and sighed. "I can't believe Snape wants us to write a two parchment essay and tell him the pros and cons of magical breast enhancement." Hermione said in disgust.
"Pros… they're bigger…umm…they're bigger." Ron said.
"Very nicely said Ron." Harry said.
"Cons…hmm, says here they can get really hard. Ha! Like someone would enjoy touching those." Ron said.
"You guys are disgusting." Hermione said with a sour look.
They all got back to their essays. They stayed at that table until two o'clock in the morning. Hermione was the first to notice what time it was.
"Oh my gosh guys! It's two o'clock! We'd better get to bed." Hermione said, sitting up to stretch. She looked over at the guys and saw they were fast asleep. "Oh well," Hermione said as she got up, "At least I finished all of my homework. Even stuff that isn't due for weeks!"
Hermione got up and went to her room. She slid into bed without even slipping off her clothes. She drifted off into a nice dream, but not before wishing herself a happy birthday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco got up the next morning fairly early. He had asked Dumbledore if he could go to the shops for a half hour today. He had planned on getting something nice for Hermione, seeing as it was her birthday. She'd been somewhat distant from him the past two weeks, but he thought about her often.
The morning after Blaise had told him he liked Hermione, Draco had talked about how much HE liked her. Blaise was disappointed, but he understood.
Now Draco went into the bathroom and took a shower. After he got out he changed into a black shirt and jogging pants. He had an hour and a half before classes started. He made his way down stairs and out the castle doors. He walked over to a carriage that took him to Hogsmaede.
When he got to Hogsmaede he went straight to Mrs. Jenkins Jewelry for all Occasions. He walked in and looked around at the rings. None of them seemed right for Hermione. He went over to the earrings. None of them seemed right for Hermione either. Finally he went over to the necklaces. He spotted one right away.
It was a deep green rose. When you had a good emotion like love or happiness it opened up. When you had an emotion like jealousy or hatred it closed. Next to it was a ring that looked just like the necklace, but instead of opening and closing, it changed colors.
Draco went up to Mrs. Jenkins and had her put it on the Malfoy account. When Draco was leaving, he looked at his watch and saw that he had fifteen minutes until he had to leave. He went over to a street vender and picked out a dozen roses. He asked the man if he could deliver them to Hermione Granger at Hogwarts at seven o'clock tonight. The vender said yes, and Draco gave him a big tip. He went up to the carriage and rode all the way to Hogwarts with a big smile on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione woke up around six thirty to the sound of whispering.
"Lavender put the sign up higher!" Parvati whispered loudly.
"I can't reach any higher!" Lavender whispered.
"I'll do it," Colie Makins said. For a moment there was silence.
"Perfect!" Hermione heard Katherine Jensen say.
"Ok, does everyone have their gift?" Lavender said.
"Yep." Hermione heard all of the girls whisper.
"Ok, maybe we should be quiet so we don't wake her up." Parvati said.
"Wake who up?" Hermione said as she pulled aside the curtain covering her bed. She had been sitting up when the girls were talking. Now they all jumped and turned around.
"Surprise!" They all said together.
Hermione looked around and was amazed. They had decorated their room. There were gold, pink, and black balloons, streamers, confetti, and a banner that read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMIONE!!!'.
"Aww, you guys! You didn't have to do this." Hermione said with a big smile.
"Of course we did!" Parvati said.
"Yeah, we felt positively horrible after we missed your sweet sixteen last year." Kat cried.
Hermione had tears in her eyes and she started crying. "You guys are the best!" She said.
"Happy Birthday!" The girls all cried in unison. They each shoved a gift into her hand and watched her open it. Lavender gave her an Armani purse that had whatever make up you needed in it. Parvati gave her a book of the one-hundred best ways to look good on a date. Amber gave her a subscription to Teen Witch magazine. And Kat gave her a pink muggle jogging suit with pants, a skirt, a shirt, and a jacket.
"You guys are seriously the best. You really didn't have to do this." Hermione said after she opened her gifts.
"Hermione, just stop. You deserve this girlfriend." Lavender said.
Hermione smiled and went around hugging each girl. Then she looked at her watch on her side table and saw that it was almost seven. She changed into some jeans and a shirt and put one her robes. She walked down the stairs with her friends and they all went to the great hall.
When they got down to breakfast Hermione saw Ron, Harry, Ginny, and the rest of her friends sitting at the table talking. Ginny looked up and saw her coming and then they all turned around and said happy birthday to her. They had a long package sitting on the table in front of them. When Hermione opened it she saw the most beautiful blue dress.
"It's a perfecto falda." Harry said. "It's from Spain, and they made it so when you put it on it conforms to your figure and never shows anything negative."
"That's awesome!" Hermione said. She sat down with her friends and had a great time with them. Half way through their meal she felt someone staring at her. She turned around and saw Draco laughing and talking to Blaise. She smiled to herself when he looked up and quickly look back down.
"He's in love with you." Ginny whispered from beside her. Hermione turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow. "It's true." Ginny said.
"How would you know?" Hermione asked.
"Because he's always staring at you. Like during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in the halls. Whenever you turn to look he looks down and talks to Blaise." Ginny said.
"Well, maybe he just likes me. He can't love me." Hermione said.
"Think what you want." Ginny said. "But you're wrong."
Hermione turned around one last time and saw Draco looking at her. She waved and he waved back. She laughed to herself as she got up for classes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Draco got back from his little shopping trip today he went to breakfast. Hermione was in there and she had a very sexy blue dress. Draco sat down next to Blaise and took some pancakes and bacon.
"I wonder what that dress would look like on her." Blaise said.
"I wonder what she would look like without that dress." Draco said. He and Blaise laughed. When Draco looked up he saw Hermione looking at him. He quickly dropped his glance.
"Her friend Ginny doesn't look half bad." Blaise said.
"You wouldn't have a chance." Draco said. "Her and Dean have been going out since, forever."
Blaise and Draco looked up from their plates and at Hermione and Ginny. Hermione turned around and saw him. She waved, and he waved back.
"You totally love her." Blaise said.
"Whatever man." Draco said as he got up.
"Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger, could you both go to my office please?" Dumbledore said. Hermione and Draco both looked confused, but went to his office. They both sat down in the chairs and waited for him.
"Happy Birthday, Hermione." Draco said.
"Thanks Draco." Hermione said with a smile. Draco was about to give her his gift when Dumbledore walked in.
"I trust you are both wondering why you are here." Dumbledore said. The two sixth years nodded. "Well, it seems to me and the staff that the current Head boy and girl aren't getting along with each other. They also aren't keeping up with their homework. So we all decided that maybe they should resign as Heads and they could pick two new Heads. And they picked you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my gosh! Are you serious?" Hermione practically screamed when Dumbledore told her. "Wait, does this mean that we'll be Heads next year too?"
"That's correct Miss Granger."
"This is awesome!" Hermione said. She turned to Draco and he was smiling.
"Yeah, this is cool. Too bad about Kevin though." He said sarcastically.
"So, I was thinking that I'll show you guys your common rooms and rooms after classes today. Classes end for you at three right?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes." Hermione said.
"Ok. I'll meet you both at the Grand staircase." Dumbledore said.
Hermione and Draco both said thank-you and made their way down to Potions. They both sat down at their table in front and got started on their potions. Theirs was the farthest along and Snape said they would be done the Monday before Halloween.
Their classes flew by and soon they were at the Grand Staircase waiting for Dumbledore. When he came he led them to the third floor. They came across a portrait of a boy and girl sitting on a swing by a waterfall.
"You'll need to think of a password." Dumbledore said.
"How about Hermione is queen." Hermione said.
"No, I think I like Slytherin Prince." Draco said.
"How about rose?" Hermione said
"No, dragon." Draco said.
"What about Dragon's rose?" The Headmaster said.
"Sounds good." Hermione replied. She turned to the painting and said "Dragon's rose will be our password."
The girl nodded and giggled. She whispered something to the boy and he smiled. Then the passage way opened.
"Oh my gosh!" Hermione said softly when she stepped inside. They were in a common room, almost as big as the one in Gryffindor. But the walls were gold, and everything else was black and pink. There were two big black couches with pink trim, and each with a gold lion and snake. There were also two arm chairs that looked identical to the couch.
At one end of the room there was a big fireplace. Somewhat to the right of it, were two desks that were facing each other. Behind the desks was a huge bookcase that looked like it had a miniature of every book that was ever made. At the other end of the room was a blue and white swirly thing the size of a dresser.
"I'm glad you like it." Dumbledore said from somewhere behind them. Hermione turned around and she realized she had completely zoned out. Dumbledore looked as if what had happened to Hermione had happened to everyone else.
"Now, that bookcase over there in fact has replicas of almost every book published. And that portal over there" (he pointed to the swirly thing) "is in fact a device that will take you anywhere in the school, and to Hogsmaede. Your rooms are up those stairs, Hermione's to the left, and Draco's to the right. I'll be going now, goodbye." Dumbledore said to the now empty common room. Hermione and Draco had both raced up the stairs when he told them where their rooms were.
When Hermione stepped inside her room she was shocked. She had a king sized bed, a huge dresser, a walk in closet, and her own bookshelf. Her whole room was black, gold, and pink. All of her clothes were in her dresser, and in the closet were her dress robes, dresses, and all of her shoes. She spotted two dresses she didn't recognize. There were tags on each of them and one said from her mum and dad, and the other was from her grandma Marie.
Hermione noticed a door with a picture of a pool on it. She opened it up and saw the most beautiful bathroom. The tile was enchanted to look like she was walking on clouds. The ceiling was like that of the great hall, and you could see how the day looked outside. In the middle of the bathroom was a tub that looked as big and deep as a ten foot pool. There was also a shower by the door that led into Draco's room.
Hermione backed up as she surveyed her surroundings. About half way through the room she bumped into somebody, screamed, and slipped on some water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Dumbledore had been talking Draco had walked up to his room. It looked like his room at home, except the bed was a king, and he had a bigger closet and dresser. He saw a door that looked like it led into the bathroom. He backed up as he looked at everything.
All of a sudden he felt himself bump into someone. He turned just as Hermione screamed and slipped. With his quick quidditch reflexes he caught her around the waist before she hit the ground.
Hermione was breathing hard when she looked up into Draco's eyes. Draco smiled at her as he realized he was still holding her. He blushed and went to put her back on her feet. He stopped and looked down at her in his arms again. She fit so perfectly.
He finally stood her up, but didn't let her go. She looked up at him again. Draco leaned in for a long awaited kiss. Hermione took a step closer to him and softly put her lips on his.
It was nothing like Draco had ever felt before. He was actually kissing a girl he liked for the fun of it. Not to have sex. He opened his mouth a little and brushed his tongue along Hermione's bottom lip. She two opened her mouth and he found her tongue. Their tongues danced for a while and they finally broke apart for air. When they finally caught their breath, Hermione was the first to speak.
"Draco… I…" Hermione said blushing.
"Shh. It's ok." Draco said. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his room.
"Draco…" Hermione said uneasily.
"No, no." Draco said. "I have something for you."
Draco pulled out a light blue box with silver ribbon. Hermione looked at it sheepishly and said "This is for me?", Draco nodded in reply. Hermione opened it and gasped.
She pulled out the necklace and was amazed. She looked at Draco in awe. Draco walked back over to her and took the necklace from her and secured it on her neck. She looked down and smiled. She slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her right hand. She turned around and put her arms around Draco's neck.
"Thank you." She whispered as she gave him a peck on the lips.
"Happy Birthday." Draco said to her as he kissed her deeply. When they were done she gave him a hug and went to her room to get her homework.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione stepped into her room and smiled. Maybe Ginny was right. Maybe he did love her. But it was too soon for Hermione to really find out.
She changed out of her robes and into a skirt and a David and Goliath t-shirt that said 'boys smell.' Hermione also put her hair up in a messy, yet sexy, bun. She grabbed her homework and went to her new common room and sat down on a couch.
After twenty minutes or so Draco came out of his room with his homework. He sat next to Hermione and gave her a smirk. He got set to reading a book that they had to read. He put a magical charm on it so it turned pages when he was done.
Hermione went back to her work after watching him. All of a sudden she felt his hand on her leg. It was just resting there, like she was his arm from an armchair. She moved her leg over and his hand dropped. No sooner then ten seconds later his hand was there again, but now on her knee.
'His hand feels like it was made to be there. It just feels so, right.' Hermione thought to herself.
Since she was in a playful mood, she left it there for a while and then shifted her position. He went to put his hand on her knee again but he couldn't reach. So he closed up the gap between them and put his hand on her knee again. She smiled a big smile.
They stayed like that for a while. All of a sudden, Hermione had an urge to kiss him. She wasn't often one that gave in to urges, but she did this time. She moved her hand to his cheek and touched it. As he looked at her, she put her hands behind his head and kissed him.
They had a great snogging session for a while. Her mind was pretty much focused on him, but one thought kept going through her head. 'What a great way to spend my birthday!'
