"Sorry for the little misunderstanding," I said; trying to seem very interested in the book that I was "reading".

Malfoy had just asked me why I had been in such a bad mood before. I didn't really feel like telling him the whole story but I didn't feel as if that decision rested in my hands.

"Did you think that I actually meant that to you?" he asked looking at me with deep concern.

I hated the feeling of someone pointing out my mistakes. "Yeah, I kind of took it the wrong way, I figured out what you were doing eventually," I said still trying to seem interested in my book.

"Sorry, I just figured you would understand," he said.

"That's okay; I see what you meant now."

"Is it okay if we keep doing it for a while, maybe slowly stop and become some what of friends to the public? 'This is Hogwarts, rumors spread like a grease fire'."

"Yeah sure, I was wondering how keeping this a secret fitted into your master plan," I looked up and smirked at him.

"Yeah, not so sure why that wasn't on my top priority lust while devising my scheme; well I take that back it was, it just didn't fit in so well," he returned my smirk with the same.

I chuckled at his comment; he had started to be funnier now that I knew him better.

"So how is that book you're reading, it is amazing how you can read upside down," he said smirking like an idiot.

My cheeks turned crimson, but in all reality I was glad the subject had changed. I flipped the book over, "I wasn't really reading as much as I was visiting Hermione Land. It's where I think."

He laughed at me, "You go there a lot from what I can tell; it must be a second home."

"Yeah, right after Hogwarts, I actually spend more time there than I do at home," I said sitting the book down on the coffee table.

He laughed at me again. This was probably one of the first times in my life when I laughed at myself, and didn't feel angry at the other person laughing. It was weird that I could be around Malfoy and feel so different. Not hate different, better different, more comforting.

He sat down on the couch beside me

"I'm so tired, this day had been so long," I said rubbing my eyes.

"Go to bed then, it is seven-thirty, it isn't that extremely early," he said shrugging his shoulders, picking up a pillow and beginning to play with the tassels around the edge.

"Can't; I have to watch the front halls tonight for 8 to 10."

"Why to ten, nobody can be out that late, they have to be back in their common rooms by 9:30 in a week day."

"Yeah I know, but I think I'm supposed to catch anybody trying to sneak in or out late."

"Oh," he continues to play with the tassels, "I can watch the halls for you if you want?"

"No, no, I can do it."

"You sure I don't mind, I'm up at that time anyway."

"I had better do it myself, but thanks for the offer."

"No, I'll do it for your, REALLY!"

"I don't really think I get a say so in this, do I?"

He smiled at me, "Nope."

"Fine, if you want to so badly go for it," I got up and headed for the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower before I got to bed and if you decide that you don't want to do it, I can do it when I get out."

"You won't have to worry about that," he smiled at me; I turned back around and headed to my room to get clothes.

When he came back that night, there I sat on the couch; I had come and sat down with him before he left, after taking a shower. I had fallen asleep minutes after he left.

I felt someone shaking me. I woke up; Malfoy was hovering over me, smiling. "Looks like you didn't quite make it back to your room."

I sat up, still groggy, "Yeah, guess not." He sat beside me. There was a pause. "Thanks so much for doing that for me."

"Yeah, no pro…" that was all I heard before my head rested down on his shoulder and I was once again asleep.

"Wait Malfoy," I yelled as I ran through a grassy meadow filled with flowers.

Malfoy ran just ahead of me, I kept running but it was as if he didn't hear me, he kept going, and he finally stopped and looked back , he didn't seem notice me nor hear me yelling.

I followed him into what looked to be a forest, it kept growing darker the farther I walked in, but I still could see him just ahead of me. He stopped by a tree and grabbed a black cloak, putting it on as he kept walking. He flipped the hood over his head.

He kept walking and the forest grew colder and darker, so I could barely see. I kept walking and the started running, but I couldn't hear my own foot fall. I kept running and running as if I knew where to go.

I woke up drenched in cold sweat panting. I looked around, "It was all a dream," I whispered.

"Are you okay?"

I was startled to hear Malfoy talk. "Oh I'm fine."

"But you don't look fine," he looked at me concerned.

"No really it is nothing," I stood up slowly, "I think I'm going to head to bed now," I said in somewhat of a daze.

"Are you sure your really fine?" he asked running up right behind me.

"Fine," I said, putting a hand on my doorknob.

He rested a hand on my shoulder; I turned my head to look back at him.

"You are covered in sweat. What was your dream about?" he asked.

"Nothing just a foolish nightmare," I turned to doorknob.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," I turned to look at him, "I'm really just fine, tru…"

He leaned in placing a hand on my steaming cheek. I watched as he starred into my eyes. Then he leaned in further and finally kissed me. I took awhile for everything to hit me, and when it did I kissed him back.

He pulled away for the sweet tender kiss of which I didn't seem to regret immediately for once.

I kissed him again softly and turned to the door opening it, "Good night I said," then I shut the door.

I walked to my bed with a smile on my face. I slipped under the sheets and rested my head on my pillow. My mind which should have been filled with thoughts of my dream, were now filled with thoughts of the kiss. And for the first time they weren't bad thoughts, trying to beat myself up for it. It was simple and seemed at just the right moment. I knew this time that he wasn't trying to get in my pants he had actually taken the time to become friends with me. Maybe he really did love me for me. But that was too much to think about, when such a happy thing had just happened.

I could feel my cheeks blush as I thought about it. Slowly my eyes faded shut a smile on my face.
