mistress meo- It's fun to write a feisty Hermione.

TylerJay-I'll try to slow it down and describe more things, but sometimes I have a picture in my head and I just can't find the words to describe it.

Miranda- Thank you! I'm trying to work in the fully naked Draco somewhere, so if you have any suggestions I'll consider them.

sex-goddess1432- Oh my god, you must have been freezing! I now whenever I go out in the winter with just wet hair I freeze, I couldn't imagine being in a towel!

Forever His- Thanks. I really like your pen name thingy.

I'm so so so so so so so so sorry that it took this long to update. A lot of stuff with school and all. I had to write a speech on Euthanasia and it was kind of hard so it took me awhile. But I will try and update as fast as I can!

The next morning Hermione woke up, showered, and dressed herself all before 9:00. She decided to write her parents a letter telling them about her first week at school.

Dear Mom and Dad,

So far everything has gone great. Unfortunately the head boy is Draco Malfoy. You remember him? I told you about him. He's the one who always made fun of me and called me a mudblood. The good thing is he's not really like that anymore. He hasn't called me a mudblood yet this year so it's not all bad. He's kind of annoying though. Our common room is HUGE! So is our bathroom. Everything is so beautiful. Well, I'll write again soon.

Love,

Hermione

She put the letter in an envelope and sealed it. She left it on her dresser to deliver later.

It was now only 9:30. Hermione was bored. Harry and Ron wouldn't be up until at least noon. So now she had nothing to do.

She thought about what had happened yesterday. uggh I can't believe he locked me out like that! And the way Harry and Ron looked at me. Like they had never seen a half naked girl befWell scratch that... I have to get him back for that.

She looked at the clock. 10:00. Hmmm, I think I'll give him a personal wake-up call.

With that thought she practically skipped into the bathroom. She went over to Draco's bedroom door and peeked inside. He was sprawled out on his bed with the covers half off and half on. He was wearing dark green boxers and his arm was laying across his bare chest. All in all he really didn't look half bad. Whoa... Whoa... Wow. oh get a grip Hermione he's not that hot. That? That? No He's not hot at all.

She went back into the bathroom and filled a large cup with freezing cold water. Smiling to herself she walked into his room. She tip-toed over to his bed, and looked down at his sleeping face. It was so weird seeing him without a scowl on his face, in fact his mouth was slightly open. He looked kind of peaceful. Pity she thought.

Smiling like a Cheshire cat she turned the cup upside down, pouring the water all over his head.

He gasped and sat up sputtering and spitting out water. After he finished coughing he looked at Granger with shocked eyes.

"Y-y-you, you just, ...water...you ..." It seemed that he couldn't put two words together.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He said very calmly, like it was an every day question. His calmness was odd, but she ignored it.

"What? I was just trying to be nice. I thought you might've wanted to get up now. No?" She said with a sweet little innocent voice.

"Not really." He said smiling.

"Oh well." she said and started to walk away. But before she could take two steps, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto the bed, on top of him.

"Ohhhh" he moaned when her elbow found its way to his crouch. On accident of course.

"Yeah? well that's what you get when you pull me on top of you!" she said trying to get up. As soon as she stood up he pulled her back down. Only this time she landed on his chest.

"Gross, your getting me all wet." she screeched.

"Yeah? well that's what you get when you dump water on me when I'm trying to sleep!" He said mockingly as he started to tickle her.

Hermione was in shock; He was tickling her. Draco Malfoy was tickling her!

"Stop...it...What...is... wrong with... you!" She shouted "Stop...Have ...you ...lost...your mind!"

"No" he stated simply "This is for pouring water on my face"

"Yeah...well...the water thing...was for...the ...towel...thing!" She sighed as he finally stopped tickling her. But now she was in an awkward position. She was laying on his chest with her face a mere inch from his.

"Ummm" she said feeling kind ofno veryuncomfortable like this. He sighed.

"Well, this means you have one of two choices..." He said "A...get off of me and look embarrassed. Or B...Kiss me"

She scoffed and said "I think I'll choose A."

"ennnnnnt" He made strangled a buzzer-like noise. "Wrong answer." He smirked and made a move to kiss her, but she was quicker. She jumped off of him and ran into the common room.

"Oh come on Granger, just a little kiss?" he said as he chased after into the common room.

"I think not" She said as she made a break for her room. However he was to fast and caught her by the wrist. He pulled her back and she stumbled into his arms.

"Not even a little kiss?" He whispered in her ear.

"In all seriousness, are you feeling ok?" She asked slightly nervous. He smirked at her nervousness. "I'm just fine" he replied. "But I'm not so sure about you" he said in a sing-song voice.

"Wha-?" But he lifted her wedding style and literally flung her onto the couch.

"AAH" she landed on the pluffy (A/N Don't you love this word?) couch with a thud.

"You should never have tried to wake me up Granger." He said walking over to the dazed girl. "I like to sleep late. Very late... Now, why did you try to wake me up so god damn early?" He stared to pace in front of her and it was making her uncomfortable. Wow Malfoy finally snapped. He actually tried to kiss me. I wonder why? I'm just overreacting, he just wanted to scare me. Right?

When she finally snapped out of her little trance Malfoy was standing in front of her with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Oh good your back! Maybe we can get back to this little discussion of ours...Or would you rather go back to fantasizing about me?" he smirked.

"I wasn't fantasizing." she mumbled and crossed her arms over her chest.

"As I was saying, you woke me up early and now you have to pay the price. Of course the price in this case is simply a kiss, but knowing you it will take you a long time to pay up, but I'm willing to wait."

"Why in Merlin's name would I kiss you?" she asked in her oh so famous I'm-better-than-you voice.

"Oh I don't know, maybe something will come up, like maybe your life is in danger and you desperately need my help. But no, you won't get my help without a kiss. You know something like that." he finished his dramatic statement quite lamely.

"Ok fine the next time my life is in mortal danger, and you save me, then I will kiss you." she finished and watched as he stuck out his hand.

"Deal"

She took his hand and shook it hesitating only slightly.

"Deal, but I hope you know I don't plan on risking my life anytime soon." She called after him as he went back into his room. She shook her head and went to find Ginny.

About an hour later in the Slytherin Boys' Dormitory

"So do you like her?" Blaise asked Draco as they were sitting on Blaises bed in the vacant dormitory.

"Who?" Draco replied as he picked up a red and whit bean out of the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans box.

"Who? Granger that's who." He too picked up a bean only to spit it out into a small trash can placed at the side of the bed.

"No, It's Granger!" he said in a kind-of-not-so-quite-disgusted voice.

"Yeah it's Granger not the freakin' plague. She's not gonna give you rabies. Besides she doesn't look that bad, she's got that shy-virgin quality you don't see around these Slytherin parts." he picked up another bean.

"Yeah I guess, you'll never guess what she did to be this morning." he was smiling like Blaise had never seen before.

"What" he said eager to know what the bookworm had done to put Draco Malfoy in such a good mood. He chuckled and said "She dumped a cup of cold water on my head to wake me up." He was still smiling and it was kind of scaring Blaise.

"You do know your smiling right?" draco nodded "Because in seventeen long years I've never seen you smile so much. Well unless you count the time when we were nine and found your dads magical porn collection." He sighed.

"Yeah, that was a good day. I'll remember those pictures forever. The fact that they move is just a perk." He threw up another bean and caught it in his mouth.

"You so like her you know." Blaise was watching his facial expressions. And he clearly saw another smile forming only to disappear and to be replaced with a smirk.

"Whatever you say Blaise, whatever you say." they continued to talk for at least another hour.

In the Gryffindor girls' dormitory

"Do you like him?" Asked Ginny.

"Who?" asked Hermione as she flipped through the latest Witch Weekly magazine. Not really interested in anything though.

"Who? Who do you think. Draco malfoy that's who." said Lavender Brown.

"No, of course I don't like him."

"Denial" said Ginny, Lavender, and Parvarti at the same time.

"You guys, I'm not in denial I really don't like him! You want to know what he did to me yesterday?" she asked tossing the magazine on the bed all three of them were sitting on.

"What" the three of them responded.

"He locked me outside our common room in nothing but my towel!" she was starting to get angry just thinking about it. "And today after I dumped a cup of water on his head"

"Hold on, you dumped water on his head? If you ask me, it sounds like your flirting with him." said Lavender.

"I wasn't flirting with him you guys I was trying to annoy him. You know he did something to me first so I did something back." she explained.

"Typical playground scenario, you know, the boy pulls the girls hair and pushes her in the mud. It means he likes her. Girl pushes him off the monkey bars, she like him. He locks you out of the common room he likes you. You dump water on him, you like him. Simple really." Explained Lavender.

"It's obvious with all the little petty arguments you get into. Your always flirting." Said Parvarti.

Hermione sighed. "Your all impossible you know that right? Impossible." Do I like him? No!

"And that is why you love us." Said Ginny picking up the discarded magazine.

They continued to talk for awhile. Mostly about Draco. (Hermione stayed out of those conversations.) She already had to live with and look at him. She didn't want to talk about him in her spare time.
