Chapter Eight: Morning Regrets

Hermione woke up the next morning with a major head ache and a feeling like someone had dropkicked her in the stomach right above her groin. She groaned and rolled over, her eyes still closed. She desperately tried to remember the night before, what had happened? She smiled, that's right, we danced, ate pasta, chatted and went to bed. Wait a minute, she opened her eyes, we went to bed together!

Sure enough there Hermione was, enveloped in a sea of green silk, Draco Malfoy not that far from her. He was lying on his stomach with his face towards her. Then as her eyes travelled the remainder of his body, she let out a squeal and covered her eyes with a pillow. He was completely naked, bar the small amount of sheet covering his behind. Then it dawned on Hermione, she too was stark naked. Desperately she tried to cover herself but her movements only stirred Draco. He yawned and smiled.

"Hello beautiful."

She opened her mouth in disgust.

"How dare you Malfoy!"

He looked extremely confused. "Huh, what ar..."

"Oh you know very well," she interrupted, "you took advantage of me."

And with that she stormed out of his room, pulling his extremely expensive sheets with her.

She felt weird as she sat down for breakfast. Harry, Ron and Ginny were all staring at her like she was some thing to be cautious around. This only magnified her bad mood.

"What!" she snapped at them.

Harry and Ron turned and began eating a little too fast to be normal, even for them. But Ginny continued to stare, worried. Hermione had begun to drag her fingernails down her arms. She quickly stopped when she noticed Ginny still looking at her. Hermione knew very well that Ginny realised she only scratched when she was nervous.

"Hermione," she started slowly.

"I know, I know. Meet me in fifteen minutes, outside Sir Cadogan's portrait."

"Ok Hermione, what is it?"

Fifteen minutes later, Ginny was sitting on the end of Hermione's bed watching her friend pace the room.

"Umm, I kinda, sorta slept with Malfoy…" she said this very quickly and then turned anxiously to see Ginny's reaction.

She was laughing, no, not just laughing, but was in hysterics.

"What!" Hermione demanded.

She laughed once more before answering, "Wow Hermione, didn't know you had it in you!"

"Ginny Weasley. How dare you, he took advantage of me!"

"So you were drunk?"

"No, I only had pumpkin juice."

"So you were in your right state of mind?"

"Of course I wasn't! I slept with Draco Malfoy!"

She sat down next to Ginny and rested her head in her hands.

"You're right Ginny, I remember, I said yes."

Ginny must have taken this as a sign that it was ok, and she broke out laughing again.

"Stop it, this is serious, I can't even remember if we used protection."

Ginny's face broke into a huge smile; she seemed most satisfied with herself.

"Hermione, Hermione, Hermione. This day must be marked down in history,"

"What on earth are you on about?" she asked, talking over Ginny's voice.

"As the day that I know some thing Hermione Granger does not! Do you honestly think Malfoy would be dumb enough to risk getting a 'mudblood' pregnant? Of course not, his father would kill him."

This seemed to ease Hermione's mind and she at once told Ginny to forget about it. She decided that although she hated the fact she had a one night stand she would no longer think about it and leave it in the past. She must do the sensible thing and continue with her life. She would refrain from seeing Malfoy at any other time other than to discuss the head's duties.

She smiled and was happy with herself again and she continued to live her old life. The one that was centred around Harry, Ron and school work.

The only thing that disturbed her normal life over the next month and a half was the occasional stomach bug that flared up every now and then…

A/N: sorry it is only short but I'm really sick and I only got out of bed to quickly write and post this, remember, REVIEW.
