The whole school was buzzing with the rumor floating around that Draco and Hermione had snogged right in front of a classroom. Even as they walked to Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore himself was getting the news from the paintings. He sat back in his chair, a small smile forming behind his white beard. So it has come to pass, he thought. Took them long enough.

Draco and Hermione stood outside the gargoyle door their hands beginning to sweat in each others. Hermione absent mindedly unwound her hand from his and wiped it on her robes. She stared at the gargoyle and Draco stared at her. Both at a loss of ideas for what they should say to their headmaster. All of a sudden the gargoyle spun revealing a stairway.

"Might as well come in, instead of stand outside for the rest of the day." They heard Dumbledore's voice echo down. Hermione closed her eyes and prepared herself. Then, after sending Draco a fake cheerful look, she placed her foot on the first step, and started to ascend to his office, Draco trailing behind her.

Dumbledore sat in his chair, slightly leaning back, a small smirk hidden under his beard. His hands were lightly clasped on his lap as if he were just getting ready to have a cup of tea. The two of them stood before him for a few seconds before he motioned for them to sit down. Then he sat forward on his chair, and spoke softly to the two of them. "Professor Snape said that you two have gotten yourselves into a fist fight." He looked at Draco. Draco's hidden emotions somewhat surfaced under the Professors gaze. He was happy to see intimidation, and respect, yet a little surprised to see guilt. Then he looked at Hermione. She looked as if she had just swallowed a huge piece of cake. That is was good while it lasted but it was starting to get ugly. He smiled. Oh, if only they knew, he thought. Yet they mustn't know.

"I also know that you had a good reason for it, even though violence is not the answer." He smiled to himself. "So you will only get 2 hours of detention. Which you will both serve together. You will clean up Hagrid's unicorn pen. The muggle way." Draco looked disgusted and Hermione appreciative. "Now go."

Draco stood by Hermione as she reached her hand toward the unicorn that was in fact ignoring her. "Stuck up little creatures aren't they?" He said to her. "All that beauty must go straight to their horn."

Hermione stopped her attempts but left her arm hanging as she turned to him. "Reminds me of someone though… I can't put my finger on it." She teased.

"Oh really? Me too, she seemed to like to show off to Slytherins I believe." He smiled back.

"Oh we must be thinking of two different people because I was thinking of a male." She turned back to the unicorn watching it strut across the pasture. "Blonde hair, stunning blue-grey eyes, very, very stuck up. But once you get past that, he seems to be a decent person." She bent down and picked up some barley, and the unicorn turned to her and took a few bites of it from her hand. "Ah, see much like this." He was quiet, and after a few seconds she turned to him.

"You are comparing me to a unicorn. That hurts." The unicorn huffed. Hermione gave him the rest of the barley and then turned to face him.

"Oh come on you big baby." She picked up two shovels and tossed one at Draco. "Stop your fussing and show me your muscles."

"I thought you'd never ask." He grinned at her, flexed, and then turned to the pen which the unicorn was in overnights. "Oh, that is bloody disgusting." Hermione laughed and opened the pen, walking in around numerous droppings.

"Where's your stomach?"

"In. My. Throat." He followed her in carefully, stepping cautiously around each and every dropping. Then his foot sunk in one that he hadn't seen. He looked down at his now unicorn pie covered shoe. He dropped the shovel and turned from her. As he heaved the acid in his stomach, she just laughed, and started shoveling.
