"Thank you for understanding," Hermione gave him a plaintive look and opened the door. Of course on the other side, trying to listen in, was Harry and Ron.

"What happened?" Ron asked immediately.

"Nothing Ron. Draco will cooperate. Harry? Will you?" Hermione asked looking into his ice blue eyes looking for Harry.

"Yes. I will cooperate as long as he does if not then we're stuck," Harry retorted.

"Good enough," Hermione walked into the room that she and Ron had been in before Harry and Draco's arrival.

"Alright," Hermione started as she paced the room, "We can't do the identity charm because it won't work in Hogwarts… You'll have to be each other. I'm sorry there's no way out of that. Harry you might not have to return to the Malfoy Manor," Hermione stopped and looked at Draco, "What reasonable excuse would your parents accept?"

"Er… Excuse? Well it wouldn't be my parents we have to worry about. No, the Dark Lord is who we have to worry about," Draco turned to Harry, "Did he say how long Maria would be staying?" Harry tried to recall.

"Yes…he said she would be coming to Hogwarts with me and that she was my 'charge' I don't know exactly that meant because afterwards we…" Harry looked away.

"When he said she was your-my charge he probably meant that you-I would be betrothed to her if she liked me-you- us," Draco ended in a confusing manor.

"She probably won't be coming to Hogwarts. She is attending Drumstrang. He would want her to continue there," Draco added thinking about it, "Did she like you?" Draco asked pointedly to Harry. Harry blushed and mumbled.

"What was that?" Hermione asked.

"Yes she liked me… hell she loved me she said…she said…" Harry glanced at his friends.

"Harry?" Ron asked hoping not to seem prying, "Is it too important? Or is it rubbish?"
"Nothing in this matter is rubbish," Draco said, "Did she comment on your…" Draco cleared his throat, "Performance?" Harry just nodded. He really didn't want to tell anyone.

"What did she say exactly?" Draco pressed.

"Why the hell would I tell you?!" Harry spat at Draco.

"You have to tell me," Draco said he tried to keep his cool, "If you don't I'll have to force it out of you," Draco was dead serious about this.

"FINE! You want to know?! Fine I'll tell you! Damn!" Harry jumped up and started passing the room, all three of them watching him intently.

Man what did she do to him? Draco thought to himself. What ever it was, it seems to have gotten to him. Maybe that was his first time…

"She said… she said… oh DAMN IT! SHE SAID I WAS GOOD AND THAT SHE WAS GOING BEFORE THE PANTS WERE OFF! HAPPY?!" Harry stopped pacing and just stared out the window.

"Your first?" Ron asked quietly.

Harry just nodded. Silently cursing to himself.

"I'm sorry," Draco whispered. Harry turned around.

"YOU'RE SORRY?! YOU'RE JOKING RIGHT? I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HEAR THOSE WORDS LEAVE YOUR MOUTH. EVEN IF I DID I KNEW I WOULD NEVER BELIEVE IT! YOU'RE SORRY!" Harry started laughing and laughing. He couldn't stop. Malfoy saying he was sorry and was actually trying to be sincere! HA!

"Hermione, tell me. Can pigs fly?" Harry asked through his laughter.

"No…" Hermione said slowly, "Harry? What are you getting at?"

"No pigs flying so Malfoy doesn't mean it! He's not sorry! Well he is a sorry chap but… actually meaning he's 'sorry'? Yeah right. When pigs fly!" Harry just looked at his own body with amazement.

"Harry! What's gotten into you?" Hermione asked. She looked over to Draco and what he had said bounced in her head, "Harry! Maybe what you're feeling isn't really what you are feeling. I think- we think it might be Draco's feeling. Draco has been having the same problem," Ron looked at them with appraising looks.

"Really?" Ron now looked skeptical, "How would you know Herm?"
"Well, Ronald we were stuck in a cold closet for quite some time. Now weren't we?" Hermione was looking at Ron with a cold look.

"What happened in that particular closet? Hmm? Can you tell me that, Hermione?" Hermione blushed slightly at Ron's question but answered as best as she could without embarrassing herself too much.

"Well… we talked and tried to keep warm so we wouldn't freeze to death,"

"And how exactly did you two keep warm?" Ron asked glaring at Draco.

"RON! What does it matter?" Hermione was standing up now.

"WHAT DID HE DO?" Ron was now yelling, "IF HE HURT YOU" Ron shook with fury.

"He didn't hurt me. Trust me Ron," Hermione tried to restore calm.

"THEN WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR ARM?!" Ron asked suspiciously as he pointed to a bruise on her arm.

"Oh," Hermione said as she examined her arm, "That was when he dragged me into the room. But that was on accident," Hermione dismissed, "Trust me Ron outside of that he didn't hurt me," Hermione tried to convince Ron. But he was being stubborn, like usual.

"No. I don't believe it. Why wouldn't Malfoy want to hurt you? I don't know but after 5 years I think he has some sort of motive. Herm, you're blind because he looks like Harry. He's not! Remember that! He's Draco Malfoy! Not Harry," Harry was standing watching this argument between Ron and Hermione. Looking at it form a third person point of view, Hermione did look good next to him. Harry shook his head and listened to their argument more.

"Ron do you really want to know what we did?!" Hermione was at breaking point. Too much was happening for one day.

"Yes! Tell me!" Ron was red in the face.

"Fine! I'll show you!" Hermione leaned over Draco and kissed him passionately. Harry blanched, if it were possible for Draco Malfoy's complexion to get even paler, it did.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Ginny was standing at the door. Fred, George, Mr. And Mrs. Weasley plus Lupin were all standing behind her, thinking the same exact thing. Hermione and Draco pulled apart and looked shocked. Hermione's face blanched and Draco's mouth was still open.
