I'm Fine

Draco made his way back to the dorm after a really hard day of classes. Even though everybody else had a really easy day, his teachers loved to punish the students on the first day of class apparently. He wanted to make sure that Hermione was okay. After dropping his books and assignments on the coffee table, he headed towards Hermione's room. He knocked lightly, but there was no answer. He tried the door, but it was still locked from that morning. He headed around the other way through the bathroom to her room. Hermione was still sleep on her bed. Draco didn't want to admit to himself but she looked like an angel. Her hair was lying all about her head on the pillow and the t-shirt she had on had slipped up, so it revealed her perfectly tanned and stomach. The boxer shorts just made her look so sexy to Draco. There was something about girls who wore guy's boxers to bed. It just turned him on. Desperately trying to fight the images and thoughts of Hermoine out of his mind, he headed over towards the bed. "Hermoine." He whispered. "Hey, you got to wake up." Hermione rolled over and put her face into the pillows. Draco leaned over the bed. "Really get up. You haven't eaten anything all day and dinner is about to start."

"I don't want to." Hermione mumbled into her pillow. Usually she was a person who woke up easily, but today she just really didn't want to face the world.

"I don't really care. You are going to get up and face everyone with your head held high. I will not allow to be shunned like my mother." He said, lifting her off the bed and carrying her towards the bathroom.

"What are you doing? I really don't want to."

"And I really don't care!" He said carrying her the end of the tub where it was deep. Hermione suddenly realized that he really was going to drop her in the tub.

"Don't you dare." She said in a threatening tone. But Draco just took this as the opportunity to harass her. He let go of her, right above the tub. Hermione reacted fast and grabbed on to his neck as she fell, making Draco fall with her. They both landed in the pool with a splash. Hermione laughed at Draco who looked like a wet and drowned cat.

"That was not funny." He said. Glaring at her. 'At least she is laughing…even though it is at my expense.' He thought. He walked up the slight incline and out of the pool. He took off his wet robe and shirt, revealing his muscular back to Hermione. She was resting against the wall of the pool and wasn't minding the view at all. "Come on, get out of the tub." He said turning around. "You are going to dinner. No questions asked."

"No, I am not. I don't want to face him today. Not now, not like this." She said.

"I am not that heartless. You will be sitting with me. I wouldn't just let you sit over there by yourself with him."

"Fine." She mumbled and made her way out of the tub, watching Draco trying to fix his wet hair in front of the mirror. 'God he is so hot.' She thought. And it was definitely true. He was showing off his muscular chest and washboard stomach. But what made him even hotter, were the beads of water gently gliding down his tan body. Hermione quickly shook the image from her head and walked into her room. Little did she know, Draco was watching as she left. They both dried off and got dressed and ready in their respectable rooms. Draco found Hermione about 15 minutes later putting on make-up in front of the mirror.

"Why are you wasting time on that?" He asked leaning on the doorframe.

"Because if you haven't noticed, I have a nice purple and blue mark on my face." She said with hostility. She had been trying all the makeup she could find to cover up the unsightly bruise, but nothing was working.

"You look fine. No one will notice." He said trying to comfort her. "Besides, I am hungry." Hermoine looked at him and rolled her eyes. Even with the bruise, she was gorgeous in his eyes.

As they made their way to the slytherin table, no one seemed to notice that the heads had entered and Hermione was so relieved. Draco took his usual seat next to Blaise and Hermione sat down next to him. Trying to blend in as best she could.

"What the Fuck…" Blaise started, but didn't finish because of the glare that Draco gave him. "…Um took you two so long." He was actually wondering why Draco brought the mud blood to the table, much less sit with her. The dinner went off without much hassle. Draco talked with Blaise and the other Slytherin's while Hermione played with her food on the plate. She was fine with dinner until she saw him at the table across from her. She had just lost all appetite watching him laugh and talk with Dee and Harry. It wasn't supposed to be Dee in that picture. It was supposed to be her. They thankful hadn't noticed her presence though. After Draco was done conversing and eating, they head back towards the dorms.

"I brought you your homework, if you feel like it. And I will be meeting with Dustin tonight. Blaise offered to help with rounds tonight also so you can stay home." Draco said to Hermoine on the way up.

"Thanks." She said revealed again. She didn't really want to deal with anyone tonight. Just her homework and rest. Tomorrow would be better.

Draco left to find Dustin in the Slytherin common room. "Hey, Dustin. Hermione can't make it so I came to make sure you were keeping your ass out of trouble." Draco said as he sat down across from Dustin at the table.

"Yeah, I am doing just find. Got some major homework, already though." He said sigh. "I could really use something to get my mind off of it for awhile." He said eyeing Draco. "You available?" He asked and raised his eyebrows.

"Nah, man sorry. I got to do dorm checks and everything tonight." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well don't let me stop you." Dustin said and bent his head back over his books. Draco took this as his turn to leave, but as he did, Dustin eyed him. Draco found Blaise at another table in the back, talking to Crabbe and Goyle. "You about ready to do those hall checks and everything. I really need to back to study." 'And check on Hermione.' Draco thought.

"Yeah." Blaise said as he left his seat and followed Draco out of the dorms. "What were you doing talking to that new kid?" He asked.

"Head business. I have to make sure that he is getting all his classes and shit. It really doesn't make sense, since non of the rest of us had this kind of attention like ever." Draco complained.

"It must be horrible with that Mud blood." Blaise said. "I mean you had to eat dinner with her."

"At least I didn't hit on her and her cousin at platform 9 ¾." Draco laughed. He didn't have to eat with Hermione, but he was going to let Blaise know that.

"I didn't know who they were, and you have to admit they looked really hot that day." Blaise defended himself. "You would never know what kind of bodies they had under all of those robes they make you wear here…" Blaise kept talking and they continued there round around the school, which only lasted about 1 ½ hours, that was fast considering the size of the school and number of floors. Draco headed back to his dorm and found Hermione already asleep in her room, so he went back downstairs to finish his homework.

Umm…I hope that you all liked it.
