Still no reviews as of yet...but I shall not complain. I just wish I knew if people actually read this. Blah..this is short I know I'm going to try and add details here and there to make my upcoming chapters longer, so it might take longer to update, but as it seems no one cares! turns away & cries lol
Chapter 5- Behave
Hermione woke up to a knock on the portrait door. She put on a bathrobe and walked across the common room to the portrait. She opened up the door to find a little house elf there.
"Miss Granger a message from the Headmaster."
"Thank you very much." Hermione waved bye to him and opened up the note.
Good morning heads. I have some upcoming events that I would like to look over with you. If you would come by my office today after dinner, It would be most appreciated. Thank You.
Professor Dumbledore
Hermione yawned and sat the note on the table in front of the couch. She pulled one of her books from the bookshelf and sat down in front of the fire. She still had about an hour before the rest of the students would be getting up to get ready for classes. About an hour later Draco emerged from his room wearing his boxer/briefs and a wife beater (tank top). Hermione couldn't take her eyes of Draco, again. He picked up a cup from the mini sink that they had and got a glass of water. He turned towards the fireplace and took a drink from his glass. He then noticed Hermione through his glass.
"Good morning love." Draco said smugly.
"Morning. Good night sleep?" She asked still staring at his body.
"Yes actually. Do you mind if I had my body back?"
She blushed and looked away.
"I'm going to shower. See you at breakfast Granger."
'Back to calling me Granger.' she thought to herself. This boy had mood swings.
Harry walked down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room and was greeted by Lily.
"Hey Harry, I want to ask you a big favor." She said.
"Shoot."
"Would you help me study for this big potions test I have coming up. I'm really struggling in there."
"Yeah sure," Harry smiled at her; "I'll meet you here after dinner."
Hermione's day went by fairly unexciting. She ate dinner in the Great Hall as usual with Ron and Harry. As soon as she was done eating she told them see would see them later and headed down to Dumbledore office. She knew that he was still at dinner but she felt she should be there early. She sat down in front of the eagle that guarded the stairs and closed her eyes.
She opened her eyes and Draco was standing in front of her, "Granger."
"Malfoy. Has Dumbledore left the Great Hall yet?"
"He was getting up when I left. Why did you get here so early?"
"I felt like being here early. You know me."
"Yeah, Miss Over Achiever."
Hermione looked at him sadly, "Is that what you think of me?"
"Well you are, but you're not a bad looking over achiever."
She smiled and blushed as Dumbledore walked up to them; "it's good to see you both are on time. Now let's go in and get down to business."
Dumbledore muttered a password and the eagle turned and revealed the stairs that led to his office. He unlocked the door and let them in first.
"Now you two take a seat while I find some papers." He looked around for a moment and then picked up a piece of paper, "Okay now I want there to be some kind of special event this year at Hogwarts. It doesn't have to be a ball, so I would like you two, along with some help from the Perfects, to decide what the special event should be. Now Hermione I know that you have had some experience with Muggle Carnivals and such, so If you would like to try something like that you need to explain it to Draco and the Perfects."
"Yes Sir."
Draco looked a bit confused, "A carnival? What in the bloody..." he stopped as he saw Dumbledore, "..bowl is a Carnival?"
"I'll explain it to you later Malfoy."
"So do you two feel comfortable with this assignment?"
"Yes Sir." They stated in unison.
"Good. I know this is going to take a lot of time to work on but I would like to have it ready before we leave for Winter Break. I would also like you to bring me a sort of preview of what you have decided on by next month. You may leave now. Have a good night."
They turned to leave and Dumbledore said one last thing, "Mr. Malfoy, Miss Granger, please behave. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you two to encourage some, how do I say it, kindness between students of different houses."
"Yes sir."
Draco and Hermione walked quietly back to their common room, and Draco went up to his room. Hermione plopped onto the couch and opened her book that was already there. Not soon after she started reading she fell asleep with the book on top of her. Draco walked out of his room and noticed her sleeping there. He walked over to her and pushed a stand of her out of her face. He removed the book from her sleeping figure and carried her to her room. She snuggled up to Draco in her sleep and he smiled at her. He laid her down on her bed and tucked her in. 'She looks so peaceful.' he thought.
Draco walked back to his room and lay down on his bed. His was staring up at his ceiling for most of the night. He fell asleep shortly after 1 A.M.
