Disclaimer: I don't own Harry or any of the crew. That's why I sleep so much, ya see in dreams you can do what ever you want so in my dreams I have a wonderful room with all these people chained to the walls and I can unchain the one's I want to play with and …ok that might be too much info.
Authors Note: I got a review that for some reason just made me sit down and write the next chap. So her it is, and believe me when I say that reviews are the reason this is here, I have been completely blocked between real life and writers block. I almost died when I realised that I hadn't updated anything in a YEAR!
Assuming my exams go well this year you WILL be seeing a lot of me over the summer, but don't expect anything until at least mid june, I have to study and will be avoiding the temptation of writing to avoid studying.
You can still review though, I will be checking in and on my study breaks if I'm inspired I'll be making notes on the next chap.

It was two days before Hermione received the next owl. Again the owl glared at her as she untied the note before making a hasty departure. Sitting down to her breakfast she poured herself a cup of coffee and opened the letter.
Dear Mynie,
I asked my mother about the muggle reference. You asked for it.
Who the hell is josh and what does he have to do with anything?
I don't have an ego – I'm just perfect, face facts. I'm everyone's type – if you don't find me attractive then, well; you must be defective…
In third year you slapped me. I assume it was in a moment of passionate sexual frustration and that was the only way you could think to touch me.
I'm surprised Weasley can manage to walk and talk at the same time; if I think about it, if he'd been made head boy the additional stress could have made his head explode…would almost have been worth it.
Draco Malfoy
P.S. Pixie hair: Pixies and their uses, by Forest D. Weller .Surprising that someone as 'intelligent' as you couldn't even find that. Why the hell are you starting your homework so early? We still have weeks before school starts! But then again you don't have a lot else to do right?
Hermione laughed as she read Draco's deranged views of himself. Rereading the letter she smiled as she read the reference. She had found a short reference to pixie hair that she didn't find adequate and was only planning on using it if she couldn't find a better one. The fact that Draco had supplied it surprised her, even with the attempt at an insult that followed.
"Why do you look so happy this morning?" Hermione's mother asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down beside her daughter.
"Oh it's just a letter from the head boy?"
"Another one, you're writing an awful lot to this boy, dare I hope that I might actually have to worry about what you get up to this year?"
"Ha ha mother, very funny, but no. Draco and I can barely manage to correspond without insulting one another. I'm just hoping that we'll be able to get to the point where we'll survive this year without killing one another."
"Oh well I can always hope. So is he in, oh what was it called, Stillerin?"
"Slytherin, and yes Draco Malfoy is most defiantly a Slytherin."
"Malfoy… wasn't he the nicely dressed boy with the blond hair that you made us avoid last year at diagonal ally?"
"Diagon ally and yes that would be him and only you would notice what he was wearing."
"Oh honestly I don't know how I managed to raise a daughter so fashion ignorant, that Draco boy knows more about clothes than you do…oh is that why there's no hope? Is this Draco boy gay? I mean it would explain the hair…"
"Mother!"
"Oh fine I'll butt out, but honestly Hermione you know I only want you to be happy."
"And I will be, when I find the right man."
"You know you take after you father, I was never that grown up."
"Yes I know, but if you'll excuse me I think I'll take the rest of my coffee upstairs and do some work, I have a reference to look up."
"Draco?"
"Yes mother?"
"There's an owl beside you plate."
"I can see that."
"So why won't you untie the letter so it can be on it's way?"
"I'm eating."
"What does that have to do with taking a minute to untie a letter; look it's even holding out it's leg."
"I don't want to. Every time that owl arrives it's at breakfast, or during my morning run. I'm sick of having my schedule interrupted."
"Oh honestly Draco stop acting immature and untie that letter this instant."
"No."
"Do it or I will, and I'll read the letter. If I remember correctly that's the same owl that brought that letter from the head girl. I'm sure I'd be interested in knowing what she has to say to my son."
Untying the letter Draco got up and stormed out of the dinning room, the remains of his breakfast forgotten. Narcissa turned to the owl in front of her who cocked its head at her. Giving it a bit of her toast she stroked it's feathers and whispered "Don't mind him, he's just a bit grouchy." Giving a hoot of acknowledgment the bird took off out the window.
Flopping down onto his bed Draco opened the letter, grumbling about pesky birds who interrupt meals and interfering mothers.
Dear Dragon,
↑Actually I like this one.
How did your mother know the saying?
Josh is my second cousin. He's two years younger than me and the most annoying person I've ever met – even more annoying than Colin Creevy was in first year, in fact he may have been more annoying than you and that's saying something. When I was six and he was four I think I may have cast a silencing charm on him because I was reading and he wouldn't shut up and I lost my temper and he suddenly lost his voice mid sentence. It didn't come back until four hours later right as they were going home.
At the time we all thought it was really weird but after I found out I was a witch I started thinking about all the weird things that had happened to me and I think that that was the first sign of magic I showed. What about you? When did you first show signs of magic? At least your parents knew to look for it.
You – perfect – hah!
I'm not defective, it's called taste; and any sexual frustration I may or may not have has nothing to do with you so don't bother yourself worrying about it. That slap had nothing to do with wanting physical contact and everything to do with the fiery rage coursing through my veins at the time.
Thank you for the reference it was a lot of help. Hate to point this out to you Dragon but we have just over two weeks left until school starts! That wasn't me starting my homework, it was me finishing it. I would have had it done weeks ago but we went skiing in Sweden at the start of the holidays.
Did you go anywhere nice?
Hermione
P.S. You really should start your homework you know, the transfigurations took me forever.
P.P.S. Mynie? It's kinda nice. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Draco snorted; two weeks was plenty of time to finish his homework. It wasn't like they'd been given that much. Ok so the Transfigurations would take a while, and the Arithmancy paper was quite long. And then there was Potions and History of Magic and Herbology and …ok this could take a while.
Best start with the boring stuff and get it out of the way. reaching for his History of Magic book Draco looked up his summer assignment, ignoring the fact that part of him wanted to write back to Hermione. However his eyes kept returning to the letter lying carelessly on his table. It bothered him that she was actually talking to him in these letters, what had possessed him to ask about her stupid cousin anyway, and why did he want to tell her about his summer, and where did she get off telling him to do his homework anyway. They weren't friends, they weren't. Maybe I won't reply for a day or two. Or not at all see how friendly she is then. Two hours later he set down the book in frustration and started writing the letter.
Notes:
It took forever but it's finally here.
I didn't edit or anything so I apologise,
I will get around to rewriting the story with better wording and grammer shortly.
Thanks:
Roses & disreputable dust: well I wasn't so much going for a cliff hanger as I was finding a place that I was happy ending it, but when I re-write I might take it into consideration so thank you for your opinion, I hope you continue to read.
NotreDamegirlie: after I re-read it I can see a couple of grammer mistakes but hey, we're all human. But actually I didn't see a lot ans some things are just the way that I write them, but thank you for bringing it up, to warn you this cha hasn't been edited yet either so I apologise for my mistakes. I hope you like it despite it not being Draco/Hermione, but I did warn everyone that it wasn't going to be a romance between them, and that there would be slash in later chapters.
Wildmage's Daughter: you changed your name! I thought the review style was similar so I went and checked and your last review's name changed! i defiantly approve of your choice, it's very tribe name like. Like 'dances with wolves' or something lol. Anyway, thanks for the review, sorry about the semi-cliffie. It wasn't what I was aiming for cause I hate them myself. As for longer chapters, I'll attempt to in the future but at the minute I'm just glad to have something back up.
Tinkspixie89: you have no idea how much your review meant to me. I mean I wasn't even on to read fanfic never mind write it and I was checking my emails and I read you review and I was all like 'OMG I left them hanging for sooo long, I need to write the next chap so I just started writing it then and there. I put the finishing touches on it today cause I had an exam this morning so I figured I deserved the rest of the night off. I really hope you enjoy and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
