Chapter 2:
-Inside the Common Room-
Harry sat closest to the fire in a big, comfy armchair, while Ron and Ginny sat nearby on a couch. Hermione couldn't stand what she knew was to come: long periods of silence and maybe talk about Quidditch. She didn't count this as a fun time so she made up an excuse that she had Tranfiguration homework and went through the portrait hole toward her room.
On her way, she heard cheers and singing from the dungeons. She could tell they were obviously celebrating.
Once she got there, Hermione noticed that Draco hadn't come back yet. For this, she was relieved. He had always used every occasion to talk down to her. She decided to take a nice, long, hot bubble bath. After an hour or so, she got out and decided to work on her Ancient Runes homework. She had just set it out in the common room when Draco just seemed to drop in. Hermione busied herself and didn't spare even a glance at Malfoy. He did likewise as he walked toward the bathroom to take a shower before heading off to bed.
After about 20 or 30 minutes, Draco walked out of the bathroom with only a white towel wrapped around his waist, hanging loosely. The rest of his body was dripping wet and glistening, his hair all messy and spiky.
Hermione couldn't help staring. He looked so sexy just standing there.
"What are you looking at, Granger?" Malfoy asked.
"Wha-…nothing! Why would I ever want to look at you?" replied Hermione.
"I know you think I'm hot. Don't deny it."
"Sod off, Malfoy."
"Fine," replied Malfoy as he moved gracefully up the staircase to him bedroom. Secretly, he was excited that Hermione had taken an interest in him and his body. Recently, he had found that she was being very attractive to him too. She had developed in all the right places and still kept fit by going to the school gym every once and a while.
Maybe I should start being a little nicer to her since we are living together and have to put up with each other for the rest of the year thought Draco to himself as he got dressed.
He decided to start right now, try to get on her good side. He delicately slided down the railing of his bedroom staircase and landed gracefully into their common room. He walked over to where Hermione sat working diligently, and sat next to her.
"What's that you're working on, Hermione?"
Hermione looked at him confused, since when had he ever called her 'Hermione'? And since when did he even care about what I did? "I thought the name was Granger to you."
"It was…before. But I figured we should at least be civil toward each other since we do live together and all," he stated, hoping she would agree.
"Uhhh…," said Hermione, caught off guard. "I guess so." Still a little confused as to what Draco was up to, she replied to his earlier question, "Anyway, this nice stack of homework here is for my Ancient Runes class. I suppose you don't take that?"
"No," was Draco's simple answer.
Hermione looked at him and he looked back, with an awkward silence. Draco suddenly leaned in a kissed Hermione, which she didn't reject. Once should found out what was happening, however, she pulled back from him.
"I…I'm sorry…I have to go." Draco quickly got up and went straight to the portrait hole to exit the room.
Hermione just sat there rethinking everything that happened within the last half hour and was puzzled as to why it happened.
