"Now, this button," Hermione reached over and pointed to a button on the top. "is how you put the Ipod on."

For next 20 minutes, Hermione taught Draco how to use the Ipod.

"Now lets say you want to listen to Dashboard Confessional. You push this and then play." she took the headphones and placed them on his head. A few seconds later, he heard music.

"Wow." that was the only thing Draco could really say.

"That's my favorite song, Vindicated."

"Now lets say you want to listen to Dashboard Confessional. You push this and then play." she took the headphones and placed them on his head. A few seconds later, he heard music.

"Wow." that was the only thing Draco could really say.

"That's my favorite song, Vindicated."

"Uhh, cool."

"Well I'd better get going. We do have classes tomorrow and its already 12:30. All that cleaning tired me out. I'll see you in the morning. Good night." Hermione gathered her things and walked towards the door, but just before she left, Draco said something.

"Thanks."

"What?" Hermione couldn

't believe that Draco was actually thanking her. She had never heard him say that words thanks to anyone, let alone her, Hermione Granger, The filthy Mudblood.

"I said thanks. Is there something wrong?"

"Oh, um no. I just didn't hear you."

"..right. Good night."

The next day was very long and boring. Draco had remember that today, well tonight that him and Hermione had Prefect duties. He got up from the table and walked over to the Gryffindor table. Everyone was watching him.

"Granger, I need to talk to you."

"Alright Dra- Malfoy. What is it?"

"Well, can you just come with me?"

"Um, ok? I'll be right back guys."

Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her out to the hall. Hermione was confused. She tried to think if she did anything wrong. Everyone in the Great Hall and now, everyone in the hall were staring.

"What is it Draco? Did I do something wrong? Im confused."

"No, I just wanted to tell you that we have Prefect duties tonight after detention."

"Well why couldn't you just tell me that in the Great Hall? Everyone knows that we have Prefects duties together." Hermione stared at him confused.

"Well, I saw Potter and Weasel sitting there staring at you and I knew that Weasel would have came and beat the crap out of me and Potter would have made one of his stupid conclusions about us and made something big out me talking to you."

"Oh, right. Ok well I'm going to go and get my things. I'll see you in a little bit."

"Ok, bye."

Just then some 4th year Gryffindor's walked by and stopped to watch Hermione and Draco. Every thought in Hermione's mind left. She didn't know what to do.

'Ahh! What should I do? If they find out that Draco is being civil to me, I'll be done for! And Harry and Ron will kill me! Even though we really aren't talking. But ahhh!!!!!!'

Hermione did the only thing that came to her mind.

"You stupid ferret! What the hell is wrong with you!?" she wanted it to come out nasty, but it didn't. She then smacked him across the face and ran off leaving a very embarrassed and confused Draco standing with a bunch of the 4th years from before.

"What are you staring at?" he hissed at them and they all look at him strangely and ran off. Draco left the hall and walked down to the Slytherin Dungeons. He grabbed his bag and glanced in the mirror. There was a light red hand mark on the side of his face from where Hermione slapped him. He still looked amazingly handsome, and he knew that he did. He checked the mirror often to remind himself of his good looks.

Hermione was waiting outside for about 15 minutes already. Draco still hadn't come out. He wasn't late, Hermione just left the school a little too early. She knew that he was going to be mad about what she had done to him and she wished that she hadn't done what she did. It wasn't like Hermione to slap someone for no reason. She just didn't want people to talk about her. A couple of minutes passed and she heard huffing and puffing coming from the direction of the trail that led to the room. A tall figure came into view now. Hermione knew that it was Draco. He made his way to the door and stuffed his wand into the box, shut the lid and unlocked the door. The whole night, neither one of them spoke to each other. Draco would steal a glance from Hermione once in a while. It was soon time for Prefect duties. They were walking down the hall in complete silence. Something inside of Hermione made her feel terrible about her slapping him. She knew that she had to say something to him. Maybe even apologize. She stopped where she was and grabbed Draco's arm. He looked down at the and on his arm and the looked up into Hermione's eye's.

"What?"

"Look, I wanted to apologize for slapping you earlier. I was just-" Draco cut her off.

"You just wanted you keep your perfect reputation?"

"No, that's not what I was going to say."

"Oh, so you just wanted to make a fool out of me in front of all your friends. I see."

"Draco, will you just let me finish?!"

"What ever." Draco rolled his eyes.

" I only hit you because if I didn't, then all the people that were watching would think something was going on between us and you would rather kill yourself then have anything to do with an ugly Mudblood like me. I was trying not to ruin your reputation. I know what it means to you. And no one is prefect. Not even me."

"Oh really? Im touched." he sarcastically placed a hand on his heart and sniffed.

"You know what, Malfoy, I shouldn't have even said anything about it."

Draco would never admit it, but he liked that Hermione apologized to him. And he also didn't think that she was an ugly Mudblood. The rest of the night was silent.

Tonight was the last night of detention and the last night of school. (well last day until winter break.) Dumbledore changed the date of Winter Break this year. We now left a week before Christmas. Hermione and Draco got over their differences and after that night, they became closer friend. They finished cleaning the room in about 4 days. They spent their nights in the room doing homework and reading. Yes, Draco Malfoy reads and does homework! it's a miracle! But tonight, Hermione felt that tonight's detention was going to be different.

what's going to happen during detention? maybe a kiss? o0o0o0!!! read a review!!!!!!
