They entered the room. It was tastefully decorated in Green, Silver, Gold, and Burgundy. "Wow, its beautiful" Hermione said. Draco looked at her and said "personally I have seen better, but I have to say it doesn't look to bad. " You always have to ruin the perfect moment don't you" Hermione said jokingly. "Yep, its my job" Draco responded.
"Well, which room do you think is which?" Draco asked. "Well, I think that the one with H on it is most likely mine" Draco looked up, and saw that indeed on one of the doors was a beautiful gold swirly H, while on the other one was a silver D. Hermione looked inside her room, where her stuff had already been laid out and placed in the drawers. It was beautiful, well furnished with a queen sized bed, made of solid mahogany, with a burgundy bedspread, and gold sheets. A tasteful canopy was made of gold and burgundy as well. She had a matching dresser with a mirror and vanity area so Hermione was very pleased.
Draco went into his room to see that, like Hermione he had a beautiful mahogany sleigh bed with matching armoire. He had no canopy, not that he would want one. He, being a man, decided to just take a quick look around, then go directly thru the other doors. One of them led to a bathroom he shared with Hermione, completely furnished with platinum appliances, and a pool sized tub. The other led to a patio that he shared with Hermione as well. It overlooked the lake and had a gorgeous view.
Hermione came out to join Draco at the porch where they stood for a while. Finally, Draco said "Lets check out that one door in the common room, I mean come on, its gotta have something behind it." And with that, the two of them ran off like children, racing to see who could get there first. It turned out to be a tie, which was fair enough.
They opened the door to find a hall way. Hermione had to laugh, "Trust Hogwarts to have doors to lead to more doors. They opened the first one to find a private sitting area, while the second and third were ways to get to their house common rooms. The fourth led directly to the Great Hall. Finally, the fifth led to a private kitchen and another door, which was discovered to house a library as well as a porthole to the Hogwarts Library. "I know you will be using this door a lot" Draco said, earning himself a playful slap on the arm. "Hey, no violence," but Hermione just stuck her tongue out at him. "I'd watch out or I might bite that tongue of yours" Hermione had to respond "Look who's threatening violence now."
Two Months had passed since the initial peace treaty, and it was still being held up well. A few violations of section 5 on Draco's part, but nothing major. The two of them were heading down to Patrol duty one night when they got spotted. Like they had done in the past, they started arguing. No full on fighting, just enough to show that they were not getting along. Of course this wasn't true, but no one, they felt, needed to know that. Harry and Ron had been ignoring Hermione lately, well more Harry then Ron, but it was getting on her nerves. Hermione had been explaining this while they walked down to the Great Hall, and Draco had totally understood. "Well, Hermione, why don't you just have fun tonight giving out crazy punishments." "You know Draco, I think I might" and with that they were off to patrol their assigned hallways.
One Hour Later
"Done" Hermione said "and wait 'til you hear what I got." Draco looked at her then said "story night?" "Definitely" Hermione responded. They walked off to the common rooms, anxious to hear and laugh at the many stories the two had to share.
"… yea, so then after I am like you need to go to bed, the kid actually kissed his girlfriend goodnight and sauntered off, so I took another 20 points off for not following the directions of an elder in the quickest fashion possible. And then there was another couple that I took points off for, stating they didn't have any of the right chaperonage for snogging. That confused them..."
The two of them had spent the past four hours telling funny stories, some of them from their patrolling, and some of them about the things they had done. But the story Draco was about to tell would take the cake, and cause a few problems in the future.
"Well, I have a better one. Today, I was patrolling the hallway that leads to the DADA classroom and I saw Potty kissing someone. Of course, I had to see who it was, and deduct points, its only fair. And you would not believe my surprise when I saw red hair. He had been snogging Ginny Weasely. I had to just stand there and laugh. I mean come on, I thought Ginny was dating someone else, and really you shouldn't date your best mates little sister. It can cause a heck of a lot of problems." This was when Draco noticed Hermione was looking upset. "Hey, is something wrong, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything" Hermione looked up, "no you did the right thing." and with that, Hermione headed towards the door to the Gryffindor common rooms.
What do you think she's gonna do? Virtual Cookie to who gets it right. Well, actually I will just mention you during the next Author Notes Section.
