Draco quickly walked out of the doors that were already opened quietly ran towards them, then walked slowly to see if Hermione would notice, and she did.
"Dra-..Malfoy! Wait!" Hermione said running towards him.
Draco turned around slowly already prepared of what she was going to do.
"Yes?" Draco said in his emotionless tone.
"Well, me and the girls," Hermione said gesturing behind her," are going to have this sleepover. I'm going over there in the Gryffindor Tower. I was just going to tell you that."
"It's not like I care whether your there or not," Draco said coldly.
Hermione had a frown on her face,"Oh, all right." She turned around and then walked towards Lavender and Parvarti. Draco watched Hermione and the girls walk towards the opposite direction. Before they were completely out of sight, Hermione turned her around and waved bye. Then quickly turned around and ran off with the two girls. Draco sighed and went back to the Great Hall.

When the girls finally reached to the Gryffindor Tower, Hermione paused and said the password to the ever so familiar Fat Lady. " Gama sutra" (a/n: sorry for the really.. strange word.. haha) But before the portrait opened to the hole where the Gryffindor Common Room was, the Fat Lady replied," Hermione, I haven't seen you in a year, and you don't even come to visit me. Well, now that you have, glad to see you again, cherie. You've grown to a beautiful woman." Then she opened the door for them to walk in. Hermione, Lavender, and Parvarti started to giggle about what the Fat Lady was saying about her. When they found Ginny Weasley sitting by the fire in the common room reading a book. Hermione walked up to her sixth year friend and said," Hey Ginny! I haven't seen you in awhile." Then noticed that she, Harry, and Ron were in a fight. So she just turned away.
"Hermione, wait." Ginny said still looking down at the book that had caught her attention. When she had finsished the sentence she looked up and gave one of her sunshine smiles. "It's been awhile since I've seen you too."
Hermione smiled back," I thought you were mad at me for being mad at Harry and Ron."
"I'm not a dweeb. I know what happened last year Hermione. It was a little bit obvious when you were crying in my room," Ginny replied.
"Oh...yeah."
Lavender and Parvarti walked towards the two friends having a small reunion.
"Ginny," Lavender said," do you want to come up to the seventh years floor? We're having a little gathering with Hermione. We have a lot of things to talk about." Ginny was delighted and said," Sure, why don't I just change into my pj's and I'll be off, well, wait, I don't no where the floor is."
Hermione volunteered the stay with Ginny and show her to the floor. Lavender and Parvarti went up and started to fix their part of the room with pillows and covers and anything that they could have fun with like manicures and things. While two floors below them were Ginny and Hermione still in the common room.
"Ginny, you sure you aren't mad at me? Like the way I'm treating your brother?" Hermione queried while walking up the stairs towards the sixth years' floor.
"YES Hermione! I'm fine! I think that Ron and Harry are being unfair to you then you being to them. So no harms done, just that, I felt really bad for you last year and that you couldn't come over to the Burrow," Ginny replied to her friend.
They walked towards Ginny's and her friend's side of the room and Hermione sat down on the red head's bed.
"It was okay, besides, I wanted some peace for a little while, but it would've been fun if you came over to my house," Hermione said while Ginny was rummaging through her drawers looking for her pj's.
"Yeah, we should do that this summer, since you are going off to the lonesome world all by yourself," Ginny said while finally finding her pjs. It was a white tank top with silky pink and white bottoms that had stripes on them. She held them up and started to change.
"Hermione, don't you need your pajamas? You aren't going to wear your uniform are you?"
Hermione had just noticed that she didn't bring her pajamas. "Ginny, hurry and get dressed, I'll take you up to Lavender and Parvarti, so wait for me while I go over to my room, change and come back," Hermione said while getting up from Ginny's bed.
"Wait, I've never seen the Head's Rooms before, you don't mind if I tag along do you?" Ginny asked.
"Why not, but first we've got to tell Lavender and Parvarti that we'll be back real quick. Why don't you go on head back to the Common Room and wait for me, I'll be down in a sec," Hermione said while going up the stairs to the seventh floor. The stairs weren't that long, so she arrived there pretty quickly. Hermione found Lavender and Parvarti just talking while Parvarti was braiding Lavender's long blonde hair.
"Lavender, Parvarti?"
They both turned towards Hermione and then Parvarti said," We thought you weren't going to come."
"Oh, well, you see, I left my pj's back at my room. I forgot to stop by while we were down at the Great Hall and all that stuff. I'll be back soon, me and Ginny are going, so yeah. I just came up here to tell you that."
"Hermione, how come Ginny gets to go to your room and not us?" Lavender asked in a hurt voice.
"Lav, you and Parvarti can come to if you must," Hermione said.
"Why don't we just go over to your place and stay there! I mean, I bet the rooms there are just huge!" Parvarti asked.
"No, Draco, I mean, .. Malfoy isn't going to be to happy. I told him that I was going to stay over here," Hermione disagreed.
"Please Hermione," Lavender and Parvarti both asked.
"Okay, come on, but grab a pillow or something that you want to do," Hermione said while waiting for the girls.
Lavender grabbed a duffel bag that was red and filled it with manicure sets and galore. Then included her satin blue pillow, she reached for Parvarti's and placed it in the bag also. She grabbed it by the handles. Then all three of them went down another staircase that was a shortcut to the Common Room. Ginny was waiting infront of the main stair cases with her back towards them.
"Ginny!" Hermione called out.
She turned around and had a shocked look on her face," How did you- you were-." Ginny was holding her pink pillow while wearing a white tank top with pink and white pajama bottoms.
"You'll learn next year," Parvarti said to try and comfort the red-haired girl.
Lavender and Hermione started to laugh.
"Ginny," Hermione said," we decided that we're going to my place to spend the night. Lav and Parvarti wants to see the place also. I no you might want to get your pillow, but I have plenty of pillows over there. So let's go!"
Ginny said yes and followed the seventh year girls out the Gryffindor Common Room.

(This is Draco's part while Hermione is at the Gryffindor Tower)
Draco was bored at the Slytherin Table and started to head up towards his room. Pansy thought this was her time to go and see Draco once more.
"Draco, I thought you went back to your room," Pansy said in a low voice while walking side by side with him.
"I came back to talk to Blaise, and I wasn't here to see you," Draco snapped, and then stopped. "Are you going to follow me?"
Pansy shook her head, and walked before Draco and went towards the Slytherin Dungeons. Draco kept his head held up high as usual and walked towards the Head's Hallway. He walked in a steady pace. He was looking around... okay he was bored.
"I wonder if Hermione's at the Gryffindor Common Room with her little Gryffindor friends," Draco thought while smirking. Then he snickered and thought how Hermione had looked when she was telling him that she was going to spend the night at the Gryffindors. Like he cared. He kept walking towards the Head Rooms and stopped for a moment. Draco thought he had heard something. He turned around swiftly and looked to see if anyone was there. He feeled in his hands to find his wand, and he grasped the handle. He slowly turned back around and started walking but eyeing behind him every few mintues. (a/n: Don't you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you, and you keep turning around? .. well.. that's how Draco feels right now.. but.. I have to stop right now.. or I'll just have to tell you everything and ruin the whole thing.) He walked a little quicker, and fastened his pace. He looked back once more and started to walk backwards slightly, then he ran into someone. He quickly turned around and found out that Blaise was right behind him.
"What the hell are you doing here!" Draco said in a shocked but scared voice.
"I was going to come up and see if you were all right. You looked pretty pissed when I was talking 'bout Granger," Blaise muttered.
"Oh," Draco sighed," I'm fine."
"All right, I'll be going over to the SCM," Blaise said and started to walk off. Draco turned around to go to the smaller hall that had the portrait that led to the Head common room, but then turned back around and yelled," Blaise, get your arse back over here."
Blaise turned and looked at his friend questioningly and jogged over to him.
"What?"
"Do you really think Granger's sexy and it would be all right to be attracted to her?" Draco said quickly.
"Yeah, I guess," Blaise said still looking at his friend questioningly.
"So I'm not hallucinating," Draco said to himself accidentally outloud.
Blaise finally caught on and started to laugh,"Draco! So you have second thoughts about her!"
Draco gave Blaise a cold look, but softened and said," Yeah, I think. I mean, I had some good times with her, but, ... I don't no." Draco sighed," Hey, why don't you just come over to my place, Granger's out with her friends, and I'm bored. Let's talk about it in there."
"Sure, I guess."
So Draco and Blaise walked towards the portrait, said the password and went in.
