"What are you talking about?" Hermione looked at Draco.
"Oh, um.. nothing, just well, I was fighting with my sub-conscious. heh heh," Draco responded with a childish expression on his face.
"Oh...kay," Hermione giggled. Then she checked her Guess? watch. There was only 1 hour and 30 minutes left until detention was over. "You do know its your fault that we're in here right?"
" Yeah."
"Well, if you hadn't opened your mouth we wouldn't be here, but I'm glad you did open you mouth. It's nice to talk to someone about my problem," Hermione said looking down and blushing. There was an awkward silence between the two. Draco sat next to Hermione on the desk that she was sitting on. Hermione was still looking down but she did notice Draco coming and sitting next to her. She glanced at him then looked back down. Draco noticed so he reached out his hand and lifted Hermione's cheek and guided it to move to face him. They looked into each other's eyes once more. Draco leaned in towards Hermione and Hermione leaned in towards Draco also. They were a few millimeters away from each other and Hermione brushed her lips against Draco's lips. It made him hard, this didn't ever happen to him before. He never was hard from a girl when she brushed up against him. Neither of them didn't move any closer then this position. Draco wanted to make his move first so he reached out and placed his palms on both sides of Hermione's cheeks. His thumbs stroked her cheeks gently and pulled her closer to him. Hermione closed her eyes and tilted her head then leaned towards him and placed a gentle kiss on his lips first. Draco couldn't take it anymore, he pulled Hermione to him and kissed her like there was no tommorrow. For a few moments Hermione went along with Draco but she pulled away. She stood up and grabbed her book sack and started to pack her things.
"What are you doing?" Draco fumed.
"I'm packing, can't you see?" Hermione smartly said.
"Stop being a smart arse! You know what I'm talking about! Why'd you stop kissing me!?" Draco snapped.
"Are you just acting like you cared? I bet you do this to every girl in this school. Well nearly every girl who was stupid enough to go out with you. You were about to lure me in and then make me have the best time of my life and then drop. Well, I've known you as an enemy and I definately know that you're going to hurt me in the end. Don't even bother to say anything because nothing will change my mind," Hermione responded and then she just sat down on her chair and kept a vigil to see if the detention was up yet. Draco, with a red face, sat back down on his assigned seat in Potions Class which was right next to Hermione.
"Could you go and sit somewhere else?" Hermione suggested but looked away from Draco.
"No, I can do whatever I want to. Besides, I'M supposed to tell you what to do and not to do," Draco taunted.
"Shit that," Hermione muttered under her breath.
"What did you say?" Draco shouted.
"SHIT THAT! ARE YOU HAPPY?! I SAID SHIT THAT!" Hermione screamed. Her cheeks were getting red but not in a blushing way, but this was a sign from Hermione to tell anybody to back away from her. Draco had a surprised look on his face. He had seen Hermione mad before but not scary. She was looking and acting scary right now at that moment.
"CALM DOWN!" Draco shouted back."I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT TO DO! THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY SO YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Hermione screamed back.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Professor Snape yelled while storming into the room. Hermione grabbed her bag and walked off out of the classroom. Hermione had silent tears roll down. Soon she had a red tear-stained face. Nobody was in the hallways, so it was probably dinnertime. She wasn't hungry so she took the hallway that had a stairway that led to the Head Common Room. She ran up the stairs and found Harry and Ron standing infront of the portriat.
"Why are we here again?" Ron asked.
"We need help from Hermione so we're going to ask her to forgive us about ignoring her! Ron, I told you that twenty minutes ago!" Harry whispered.
Hermione heard what they were saying. Harry wasn't to quiet enough. Hermione stormed towards Harry and Ron with her wand out.
"Get out!" Hermione screamed.Ron seemed fine for getting out but Harry grabbed on to the back of Ron's collar and said," Hermione. I'm really sorry that Ron and I have been ignoring you. I hope you forgive us?" Harry put on his sad face that made Hermione get into things that she didn't want to. Hermione and Harry knew that if he made that face it would convince her. Hermione was about to turn away but she stared at him in the eye and spoke," Get out of my site right now. I don't give a care what you're saying right now. It seems to me that Ron's happy to leave. So WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" Harry didn't move so Hermione raised her wand and threatened," I swear, if you do not move both of your arses out of my sight. There will be pain to come along with it."
"Are you threatening me?" Harry responded.
"Yeah! What are you going to do about it? Are you going to tell Dumbledore? Ha, I can just say you were harrassing me. He'll believe me more than you. He's probably the only sensible person who knows that I have been up FORTY-EIGHT hours to help YOU beat that bloody Voldemort. Yet this is what I get? A broken friendship? I can give you detention right now or anyday if I want to. I can make your life hell this year. So you better watch out,... Potter," Hermione stressed on the last word.
"So now we're on last names? Fine by me. Come'on Ron. We're leaving," Harry said without taking his eyes off of Hermione. Hermione glared back then turned around once Harry and Ron were out of sight. She started to cry silently. Little did she know Draco was behind one of the stone pillars in the hallway. Draco glanced at Hermione to make sure that she wasn't looking and strolled in the hallway acting like he didn't hear or see Hermione.
"Strix Struma," Draco told the portrait that opened with a creak. He went into the portrait hole but went back out and asked Hermione," Are you coming in or not?" Hermione trudged after him. The portrait closed automatically and Hermione ran towards the closest room that she could find and she slammed the door. She found that her stuff was already there so she just grabbed her portable CD player from her trunks. She planned to tune out the whole world for now. She put it on high with the bass all the way up. She played My Prerogative by Britney Spears.
People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is..

They say I'm crazy

That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Getting boys is how I live
Some ask me questions
Why am I so real?
But they don't undersand me
I really don't know the deal about my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I won this fight
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
that's my prerogative
(it's my prerogative)
It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
You can't tell me what to do
Don't get me wrong
I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
That's my prerogative

without all of the things

"Hermione!" Draco yelled. There was know answer. Draco went up the stairs that led to their rooms. He heard some music going on the first room, he knocked on the door. No answer. He tried the door knob, it was unlocked to so opened the door and found Hermione sleeping with her CD player on. He went towards the slumbering Hermione and took the earphones off of her ears and stopped the player. He sighed then he turned around and walked towards the door. He looked back at her once more, then he went out and shut the door. He walked quickly to the other side of the hall where the bathroom was. He opened the door quickly and went towards the sink. He turned on the cold water tap and stuck his hands into the cool water. He washed his face once then looked at himself in the mirror.
Draco's POV
What's wrong with me? Am I growing to soft for Granger now? I can't believe this is happening!
'Speak for yourself! Your the one who kissed her twice. It wasn't her who started it, it was you! If father hears about this your dead.'
Don't even mention father right now. I don't want to talk about him. Also, it was hormones kicking in when I started kissing her. She looked so sad, I thought if I kissed her, she could feel better.
'Oh yeah. Her greates enemy is kissing her and she's in Heaven. Yeah right.'
Shut up
'I'm your conscience you can't tell me to shut up. I'm in your head twenty-four seven! I'm the one who controls your dreams!'
So it wasn't me thinking about Parkinson?
'Nope'
You, you made me have it with her?! You crazy fucking conscience.
'So it was a nightmare. Can't anybody have nightmares about Parkinson?'
Just leave me alone.
'Why?'
Just be quiet for the rest of the day for now.
'I'll be back!'
End of Draco's POV
Draco grabbed a towel that was lying besides the sink. He wiped his face and threw the green towel back on sink countertop. He walked out of the bathroom and went to his room. His things were there, and the room was his House's colors. Walls were greyish-silver, forest green curtains, silver and green bedsheets that were silky, and had a greyish-silver couch that had forest green throwpillows. It was cold in this room, just like the Slytherin Common Room and the bedrooms there. When he was in Hermione's room, it wasn't cold, it was warm, even if the fireplace wasn't lit. He grabbed his wand that was in his side pockets. He flicked his wand towards the fire place and said Igneto The fireplace lit up and the room was bright, but it still had a cool draft. Draco didn't mind the draft, he was used to that from the Malfoy Manor. He went towards the couch and laid down on it with one of the pillows underneath his head.
"What is wrong with me?"Draco said to himself.
knock knock
"What?!" Draco yelled.
knock knock
"Damn it! What do you want?" Draco yelled while jumping up from his couch. He walked quickly towards the door and opened it. He found a little tawny brown kitten that was hitting his head on the door.
"What are you doing?" Draco whispered while looking down. "Let's go to Granger and see if your hers. By the way are you a girl or boy?" Draco said while picking the kitten up.
"Meow," the kitten purred.
"Oh, heh, girl," Draco said and placed the kitten on his shoulder and walked towards Hermione's room and knocked.
"Granger, open the door."
She didn't answer.
"Granger, are you there?" Draco asked and opened the door. He looked around the room, but she wasn't anywhere. She wasn't in her bed or her sitting room. He walked out of her room and went to the bathroom.
"Granger are you there?" Draco yelled while knocking the door.
There was no water sound or an answer. So Draco went downstairs and looked around their Common Room.
"Granger! Where are you?" Draco yelled.
"No need to yell!" Hermione said while sitting up from one of the crimson red couches.
"Where were you?" Draco demanded.
"I was right here all along. I woke up from my sleep, went downstairs and started to read. Is that a crime? To read? I didn't know that your Highness," Hermione sarcastically said and plopped back down on the couch and started to read again. Draco walked towards the couch that Hermione was lying on and asked," Do you have a cat?"
"Yeah, why?" Hermione asked without looking at him. Draco grew angry, he hated it when somebody was talking to him but not even looking at him. He grabbed Hermione's book and closed it and asked her again.
"Do you have a cat?"
"YES! And what is your problem? I'm trying to read!" Hermione said while trying to grab her book that Draco had in his hands. He easily dodged her hands and then said," Is this your cat?" The tawny meowed and jumped from his shoulder and snuggled in Draco's arm.
Hermione giggled,"He seemes more like yours then mine."
"Well, I found HER infront of my door. I was wondering if it was yours. Well, it's not mine, I guess I'll just throw it out," Draco said while walking towards the opening of the portriat.
"WHAT! Throw a baby kitten out? You must be crazy!" Hermione shouted at him and ran towards Draco and grabbed the kitten.
"It's all right, big meanie Draco won't throw you away," Hermione said while the kitten snuggled towards Hermione's arm and started to purr.
"You said my first name?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, I guess, I don't know, just came out. Don't make a big deal about it, the kitten needs to know your first name!" Hermione pointed out," yes you do" Hermione started to rub the kitten's head. The kitten closed it's eyes and purred.
"Draco, what are you going to call HER?" Hermione asked.
"I dunno. What's a good name for the cat?" Draco said while walking towards one of the couches.
"It depends, are you going to keep her or not," Hermione asked.
"She seems more like your kitten then mine," Draco used one of Hermione's sentences earlier.
"Sod off! You found her first!" Hermione said.
"And your point is?" Draco smartly said.
"That its yours, and that's that." Hermione said while sitting on the couch she was sitting on earilier.
"Fine, let's call her ....... Noel?" Draco asked.
"That's a pretty name. Do you like that name Noel?" She asked the kitten.
"Meow," Noel answered.
