P.S. I'm also VERY sorry that I haven't updated in such a LONG time! I forgot to tell you guys that I only write when I feel a spirk (I dunno if that's a word, but oh well XD) of inspiration, but since all my friends are writing now I think I'll DEFINITLY and HOPEFULLY write a chapter atleast once every two weeks to once every month. I'm sorry and I know that's a LONG wait but I write when inspiredONLY and I don't force myself to write because then I'll NEVER write! So thankyou for all of you that plan to stay with me and be patient cause I REALLY appreciate it:D
P.S.S. Enjoy! ;)

Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover
Recap: "We don't have time for this Mudblood and I know how you hate to waste time. So say the stupid password unless you want to be out here all night." He replied as if he was trying to taunt her just as she had taunted him but he didn't show it. He didn't look annoyed either but instead he just had this blank look on his face which was starting to creep Hermione out. She quickly let that feeling go before she replied.
"Fine, ferret."She grumbled. She opened her mouth to say the password but what she saw on the portrait made her stop, her eyes wide with shock.
Chapter 2: Malfoy's Hesitation
Hermione
On the portrait was characters of Draco and Hermione. Courtesy of Proffesor Dumbledore, no doubt. This wasn't the part that shocked Hermione the most, it was what their characters were doing! They were, well talking! Not yelling or cursing each other but talking! Hermione realized that Malfoy must have been shocked too since he hadn't yelled any words for her to move her ass out of the way. Hermione finally realized that she'd been staring and was going to forget what she just saw and say the password, but what came out was:
"They can't be us! C-c-can they...Malfoy, Malfoy!" He didn't answer so she was going to nudge him but she couldn't look away either! I mean the idea of her and Malfoy being civil, well that was crazy!
After a couple more minutes of staring Draco's portrait character became extremely agitated and finally yelled out:
"What the fuck are you guys staring at? Haven't you ever seen two people in portraits talk before? Now are you going to say the bloody password or not because i'm sick of waiting while we're trying to talk."
Hermione blinked and quickly muttered a "Yep that's Malfoy" before kindly stating the password and heading into the Heads Common room.
Draco
(A/N: I'm sorry, I know I haven't changed between the two characters before but I think it's important for me to do that in this story. BTW I don't call it "Draco's POV" because we're mainly talking about him but it's not really from his POV)
After hearing the sound of the portrait swing shut Draco blinked a couple times before muttering the password himself and stepping inside, but not before he heard Hermione's portrait character say:
"Draco, that wasn't a nice way to greet the new Heads. You better be apologize next time."
While walking in Draco just smirked and thought:
"Yep, that's definitly Hermione."
When he walked in Hermione had already found the letter and was in the middle of reading it. He looked around at his surrounding. The room was decorated in a nice red color with green and silver pin sized lines (A/N: lol i forgot what those small lines were called!) all around the room. There were two couches facing the fire with a small table in between them and on the opposite sides of the room were desks that each had a nameplate on top, and ofcourse, last but not least were the head bedroom doors that had they're initials D.M. and H.G. on them and in between these to rooms where two doors. One with the Slytherin Snake on it and one with the Gryffindor Lion on it. These were obviously the bathrooms.
Draco put on a dissaproving look on his face and began to walk over to where Hermione was finishing up the "Heads Duties" letter. When he had first stopped looking around the room he noticed that Hermione had been watching him survey the room. She had a mixture of a frown and a scowl on her face. (Weird expression, huh?)
Hermione
She had finished reading the letter and she was going to head for bed when she noticed that Malfoy had just stopped standing there and he was looking at his surroundings. She put a small bit of hope in herself as she thought she saw him be in awe for a moment but it was gone by the time she had blinked again. Her heart sank when she saw his face show a sign of utter dissaproval. This quickly made her angry though.
"Let me guess this isn't good enough for you? I happened to find it very beautiful and you should be greatful that we got such a nice common room. I mean I know it's not as good as the rooms in you precious mansion at home but it's nice so you better be thankful." she spat. Hermione bet all that she had that Proffesor Dumbledore had wanted to make the Heads feel very special about having their own common room and seeing his hard work go to waste all because of this stupid git made her very upset.
Draco snorted.
"What? You actually believe that I, Draco Malfoy, points to himself son of Lucius Malfoy, he points his finger again as if to emphasize, would think that all of this he pointed around the room is appealing? You are obviously one poor, twisted Mudblood."
Hermione was fuming now. She was going to ask him how he could be so proud and still use his father and the Malfoy name without shame since, after all, his father was now in Azkaban, but she restrained herself. For no matter how much of an asshole Malfoy was, parents can be a touchy subject, for ANYONE.
(A/N: I mean take Voldermort for example, if you mentioned his parents he'd probably kill you on the spot, lol)
Draco
Draco actually felt a bit of fear as he looked at her. Her face was partly red from anger and she was clenching her fists so tight that with a fist like that Draco was sure she'd be able to knock ANYONE out if it came in contact with a persons noggin, even if it was his beatifuly carved head.
Instead of doing just that though, she quickly calmed down and said in the nicest voice (which began to creep him out more):
"Fine Malfoy, I'll see you tomorrow then. Get a good night's sleep, you'll need your energy for tomorrow."
She walked past him and headed to her room but not before she threw one of her fists into his stomach and quickly ran inside for bed.
"Why that little shit head!" He snarled while heading for his own room after she slammed her door shut and with no doubt in his mind put a lock on it, preventing him from getting in. He was planning on going back and try to break down her door (since Malfoy's let NO ONE mess them around) but he was too tired to try to think of a spell to knock it down or undo her locking spell. Besides ever since his dad had been put in Azkaban he hadn't been to thrilled with his last name. So he was mostly pissed off at the thought of doing something that was a "Malfoy trait" so he entered his room and prepared for bed.
He layed down and closed his eyes to try to get to bed but before he could fall asleep he subconsioucly touched the part on his stomach where Granger had hit him. It hadn't hurt ofcourse but the nerve of her even trying to ruin is "perfect body" made him re-think his not going after her. He hadn't understood why he hadn't barged down the door and jinx her. Ok well he knew why:
A.) He was too lazy to think of a spell and just too lazy period.
B.)He would have been following a Malfoy trait.
C.) She probably would have brought out an even BETTER jinx to use on him (he would NEVER admit this reason though)
D.) Well...he didn't really know why...
"Oh no!" The little voice in his head almost screamed at him."You're going soft!"
Draco just chuckled and thought to himself:
"That'll be the day."
He quickly stopped chuckling as he grew tired and fell off into a nice deep sleep...well he would have been sleeping a nice deep sleep if he weren't Draco Malfoy but unfortunatley he was...and so his sleep was not filled with nice sweet dreams...but sadly unpleasent ones...
A/N: DUN, DUN, DUN! lol ok well it's not really a cliffhanger but Itried :D
Ok where there's a couple things I'd like to clear first:
1.) I'm not going to have them have to share a bathroom because I'm not planning on anything interesting happening in the bathroom (and don't worry if I change my mind I have my ways wink) so please don't be thinking that I should have made them share a bathroom. Cause just incase you forget this is MY story! And if you don't like it then I don't care but please do us all a favor and read somethingelse!
2.)I'm sorry about putting the whole switching characters thing in now and not before! I wasn't really thinking to clearly when I wrote the first chapter! But now I'm really thinking how everything is going to go a long.
3.) I'm sorry about not enough dialouge because personally I LOVE dialouge in stories! But in this chappie I felt I had to put in a lot of things with detail instead of words but once classes start and such there should be more dialouge for all you dialouge lovers like me:D
OK well I should have my next chapter up in less then a month! So PLEASE REVIEW! Thanx!
P.S. I'm not going to tell you how many reviews I want before I post again because that just puts pressures on the readers and on me so I'm just going to keep writing no matter what but if this story goes no where then ofcouse I won't keep writing! Just wanted to let you know:)
Thanx for all the reviews, I love you guys!
Think:
1.)Hmmm, I wonder what's in Draco's dreams that make it so unpleasent...
2.)How will things between them go during classes?
3.)Will Hermione EVER beat Draco up? Or atleast hurt him somehow?
STAY TUNED :D
