That first day back was not for schooling. Just for everyone to get settled in. So by about 10 o'clock, Hermione woke up and walked to the bathroom for her shower. While she was taking a shower, Draco was just lying in bed listening to everything. Then he began to think about last night. Damn Potter! How dare he hit me? And why did I kiss Hermione, I mean what possessed me to do such a thing……… Oh yeah, Ferret-boy. Who gave her the right to call me such a name! She was kind of a good kisser though. No wait what am I saying! Well anyway, I might as well get up and get ready.

So Draco got out of bed. As Hermione was washing her hair with her vanilla shampoo, she began to think. 'Sniff' I love the smell of vanilla. I wonder what time it is…………I wonder how Ron is doing. I feel so bad, I feel like I cheated on him. Well, I kind of did. I mean Malfoy was totally OUT of line! I mean! He kissed me. As she continued to think, she heard the door open.

"Hello?" She said.

No one answered her. So she opened the glass door that closed in the shower and looked around.

"MALFOY!"

"Yeah?" He said casually.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?"

"Brushing my teeth……Is there a problem?"

"Well in case you haven't noticed, I am taking a shower!"

"The only way I am going to see anything is if you don't shut the glass door." He said with a smirk.

"What?" Then she looked down and began to blush madly. And she shut the door. "Why couldn't you wait for me to get out, it's rude to just come in unannounced."

"Well you know me, I am not known for how nice I am, maybe for how sexy I am, but not nice."

"Yeah well you need to work on that." She informed him. "I have to get out, so that means, you have to get out. Be gone!"

"Oh, now you can't just talk to me about manners and just insolently tell me to get out." He said sarcastically.

"Actually, I can. Now Get Out!"

"Fine, Fine, Fine."

So Draco left the room and went back to his room. Hermione hesitantly stepped out of the shower making sure he was really gone. When she realized he was, she got out and reached for her towel, when Draco comes in.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET OUT!"

"Oops, forgot my toothbrush." He says with a smirk. "Sorry" not.

Hermione quickly grabbed the towel and covered herself.

"YOU SICK PERV! GET OUT!"

Draco left the room trying to contain his laughter. Oh my goodness! He saw me! He saw everything! Even before Ron, my boyfriend! That might make me sound easy, but I don't mean it that way at all! I just mean, I would have rather it been Ron! As Hermione quickly snapped her fingers to dry her hair and put her close on, she went out of the bathroom with a death glare.

Wow! You'd never know she had anything under all those robes! Oh, she's going to kill me. Heehee. Mischievous smile Oh, Ronny boy is going to be so disappointed that I got to see his beloved before him.

Hermione was making her way to Draco's room. What was she going to do? Perhaps strangle him? No, no, no, she'd kill him, then bring him back and do it again. When she got to his room, she opened the door.

"It would be nice to knock. Oh yeah, you look good, really good." He said laughing.

"What kind of stunt are you trying to pull?"

"None, I just 'forgot' my toothbrush and you came out at the wrong time."

"You know what! Why don't you just stay away from me ok?"

"Sorry, can't. We live together."

Hermione was at boiling point. Draco just casually walked past her and down the stairs and out the portrait hole. Hermione cooled down as soon as he lefted the room and went to put on some shoes. When she did she headed for the Great Hall. As she was walking she accidentally walked into someone.

"Oh! Excuse me! I am so sorry." Hermione said. "Hi, I don't think we've met. I am Hermione Granger."

"Oh, Hello, I'm Kameron Sparks. And no we haven't met. I am new here and kind of lost."

"Oh, what year are you?"

"7th, I think I am a Slytherin."

"Oh? Ok, just follow me." As soon as she heard he was a slytherin, she got a little wary of him, but still wanted to help. As soon as they got to the Great Hall, Hermione opened the doors and all eyes were on them, because they were late. She showed him to his table and went to her own table and sat next to Ron. When she sat, Ron, Harry, and Ginny just stared at her.

(Slytherin table)

"Hey! You, come here, you new?"

"Yes, I'm Kameron Sparks."

"Draco Malfoy pleased to meet you."

"Malfoy? Draco Malfoy!"

"So you have heard of me then?"

"Yeah, your family was the talk of my old school."

"Good, or bad talk."

"Good."

"And what exactly is that talk about?."

"Just at how you father is a great death eater and you are next in line."

"Hmm, well sit down and tell me all about it."

So Kameron sat down with Draco. Hermione and Ron were at an awkward stance during breakfast. Hermione ate nothing more that an apple and Ron ate more than usual.

"Ron, I need to talk to you."

"Ok."

"In private."

"Oh," Ron looked at Harry and shrugged his shoulders and then followed Hermione out the door.

"What did you want to talk about?"

"You know what, don't play dumb with me."

"Ok, well, what the bloody hell were you thinking last night? Making out with Draco, knowing that I know the password."

"It wasn't my fault! He came up to me and started making out with me because I called him ferret-boy."

"So he made out with you because you told him the truth!"

"Yes! If you don't believe me then-"

"I believe you, but, why would Malfoy make out with you?"

"To bug me, violate me, embarrass me."

"And did it work?"

"Ron!"

"Just kidding."

Hermione shook her head and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, and they headed back in. When they were walking in, Kameron caught eye of Hermione.

"Hey, Draco, do you know her?"

"Who? Oh her! Yeah I have to live with her the rest of the year. She is a menace."

"She's hot. Wait you live with her?"

"Yeah, I am head boy, she's head girl"

"Man, you don't know how lucky you are."

Hermione sat down with Ron by her side both of them were smiling. Hermione even ate some waffles and bacon. And Ron slowed down on the eating a tad bit. When breakfast was over Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry all waited out in the hall because Hermione had to wait on Draco. Not by choice, but they had a meeting to attend to. As soon as Hermione saw Draco she put a frown on.

"Hermione, what's-, oh." Ron said.

"Ready to go Hermione?"

"Did I give you permission to call me by my first name?"

"No… Do I need it?"

"Yeah. Oh, hi Kameron. I see you and Malfoy have met."

"Yeah, uh well I guess I'll be going now." (Author: Just incase you don't know, Kameron is a boy.)

"Ok, bye Kameron."

"So, Granger, Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." She said rolling her eyes. Then Draco started walking and put his arm around her shoulder, as a joke of course, just to get a rise out of Ron, which it did.

As Hermione and Draco turned the corner, Ron, Ginny, and Harry turned the other way heading for the common room to hang out for a while. As they were walking Harry couldn't help noticing that Ron had his head down and was breathing abnormally.

"Ron? Is everything…all right?"

"No, No. Everything is not all right Harry. Hermione, my girlfriend, is living with our worst enemy. She's already made out with him. Who knows what's next!"

"I know, but we also know Hermione and we know she won't hurt you intentionally."

"Yeah, unless she lets Draco's charm get to her."

As Hermione and Draco were walking silently down the hall, Hermione couldn't help but look at Draco. If I didn't know him, I would think that he was a noble young gentleman. HaHa! Good thing I know him then! So as they continued walking, Draco couldn't help looking at her. Funny huh? When they finally got to the meeting, they opened the doors and went in and sat down.

"So, this meeting is about the upcoming dance, the Welcome Back Dance. Cheesy I know, but yeah. So first things first, what is the theme going to be?" Draco began the meeting.

"How about a classic style, from like the 16th century." A 6th year Ravenclaw prefect suggested

"Or a Barn style?" Another 6th year prefect mentioned.

"Barn style? I kind of like the classic one." Hermione said.

"Yeah the classic one sounds good." Draco agreed

"All right, who came up with the classic theme?" Draco asked.

"Me."

"And you are?"

"Olivia Branch."

"Ok, Olivia, you will be in charge of making posters and stuff like that, saying when and where and what to wear. Got it?" The girl shook her head and sat down writing down what she had to do.

"Who wants to be in charge of choosing snacks?"

"I will." A 7th year prefect said.

"All right and who wants to be in charge of decorations?"

"You and I will be in charge of that Malfoy." Hermione said.

"We are?"

"Yes, because if you don't, then you'll have to do something else like cleaning up afterwards."

"Ok, Hermione and I are in charge of decorating."

"Last but not least, who wants to find a band or DJ?"

At least four or five hands rose.

"All right you with the long orange hair and you with the short brown hair. You two compromise on something. All right, we've got about two weeks to get everything together. The rest of you that don't have anything to do will help Hermione and me on decorations." Draco informed everyone.

"Alright, now if there are any questions then this is the time to ask." Hermione told them. No one asked and the meeting was finished. Everyone left the room. So the only people left in the room were Hermione and Draco. As Hermione was gathering her things, she looked up and caught Draco looking at her.

"What are you staring at?" Hermione said annoyed.

"Just that smudge on you face."

"What!" Hermione quickly brought her hands up.

"Just kidding."

"You! Could you grow up some! I mean you act like a 12 year old!"

"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or and insult." He said mockingly.

Hermione just left it at that and walked away. Hermione began to slowly walk out of the room and then picked up the pace and saw someone up in front of her. It was Ron.

"Ron! Hey wait up!" He turned around and put a smile on.

"Hey! So, what's up?"

"Not much just got done with a meeting about the dance coming up."

"Go with me?"

"You know it."

So, Hermione and Ron headed for the library. Hermione wanted to visit it for the first time in forever it seemed.

(Back with Draco)

Draco was walking to his common room when Blaise came up.

"Hey, Malfoy, haven't seen you much yet."

"Yeah, head business. So, have you met that Kameron guy yet?"

"Yeah, I don't know about that guy."

"I know, seems iffy. He said my family was the talk of his school."

"Really? That's funny. So have you seen Pansy yet?"

"Oh yeah, to much already. I haven't seen her since the train ride though. Well do you want to come up?"

"Yeah, why not."

So they approached the door and Draco said the password 'Cornupepper' and walked up the few steps. When they got up there, they saw Hermione sitting on the couch reading a book of course. Oh great! He's back, and he brought a little friend.

"Hermione, you leave us alone, and we'll leave you alone, maybe."

Hermione looked up and watched them go up the stairs. Then she went back to reading. A few moments later she heard someone knocking on the door. She got up and went to the hole and opened it. It was none other than Pansy.

"Oh, mudblood. It's you, get out of my way, I need to see Drakie."

"Excuse me; he's not the only one who lives here. Why don't you try asking?"

"You're not worthy of being asked anything, now out of my way." She pushed Hermione aside.

"His room is up the right staircase."

She yelled to Pansy as she was walking through the common room clueless. Hermione knew how much Draco loathed Pansy. So she just helped their relationship along. As Pansy made her way up his staircase, Hermione sat on the couch just waiting to here yelling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Get The Bloody Hell OUT!"

"Oh, but Drakie, I haven't seen you since you left me on the train."

"I KNOW! I wanted to LEAVE IT that way!"

"You know you don't mean that."

"Yes I DO! And I am going to show you!"

So Draco picked Pansy up over his should and walked down the flight of stairs.

"Nice view down here Drackie Poo."

He ignored the comment and continued walking out, Blaise following. He walked to the portrait hole and then went out. He handed her to Blaise, and said "Get her as far away as possible!" Then went back in the portrait hole. He walked in and started going off on Hermione.

"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? YOU KNOW I HATE HER!"

"That is the point." Hermione said casually.

"WHAT! DO YOU WANT TO RUIN MY LIFE?"

"Isn't that kind of a stupid question?"

"Don't Talk To Me About Being Stupid. Because When It Comes To Being Stupid, You are the Queen OF IT!"

"Ice come back, have anymore?" as the comments started to get to her.

Hermione began to get tears in her eyes. No one had ever yelled at her like this. Not even her parents. All she could do was stare at him.

"You Know I have had to take a lot of your shit so don't even talk to me about ruining YOUR life!" Hermione yelled.

"You know what! Just Leave me alone! AND Don't EVER let that thing back in!"

Draco paused for a moment then went to his room and slammed the door. Hermione just stared ahead small tears running down her cheek. She just lied down on the couch and eventually went to sleep. As Draco was sitting on his bed he started to think. How could she do that? Let that slut in here. I was a little hard on her though. No! No I wasn't, she shouldn't let her in here. Wait, did I make Hermione cry? Cool. Wait, cool would be making Pansy cry. Oh, curse the conscience. So he got off his bed, and opened his door slowly, and walked down the stairs. He looked at the couch, but he didn't see her. So he walked around the couch then saw her sleeping. He got a blanket off the back of the couch and put it on her. Then he sat down next to her. He took out his wand and sparked up a fire. Then just sat there watching the fire until he fell asleep.
