Hey guys! Long time no see. I've been updating almost every other day now. I'm a good girl.

OOOOOOOOOO

When Hermione had entered her office, she was surprised, but not shocked to see a man sitting on the other side of her desk. He turned around to face her. It was a somewhat stranger.

"Hello. Did you have an appointment with me?" Hermione asked the man.

"Aw shit." She heard. However the man's mouth didn't move.

It only could have been Malfoy.

"Excuse me. I HEARD THAT!"

She tuned back to her guest. "Well…"

"Shit."

"So sorry. I HEARD THAT!"

The man stood up.

"What, are these doors totally sound proof or something?"

The man jerked threateningly towards her.

Shaking, she yelled "I HEARD THAT!"

And then, the man attacked.

And Hermione screamed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Draco dropped from his chair. He tried to remember what Granger had told him to do in case of an emergency.

"Emergencies are rare, and there hasn't been a major one in many years, since our fifth year. If there is one just in my office, I need you to calm down and not just burst in. Open the door a crack and just peek to see what has happened. If it's bad, command everyone on the floor to call up the aurors and bring Ned, James, or Nora to come in to make a distraction. Only you can here faintly what is going on inside. Anyway, don't worry about Ned, James, or Nora. They're professionals. They were hired to do that since that break in years ago. If it's an emergency outside my office…"

Draco scrambled on the floor to the tall wooden door. He opened it about 2 centimeters,

What he saw amazed him. He forgot everything Hermione had told him earlier and with a wand at his hand, he slowly burst in.

Slowly burst in.

As if. It was more like exploded in.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Now, now, pretty girl. I'm not going to hurt you." The man drawled, much reminded of Malfoy, into her ear.

"Too late, you already are." She said, trying to remove the fat hairy arm from around her neck.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. But at least I'm not going to kill you like you did to my master. You and your little Potter head."

"That's way past, sir. It's been a while now."

His arm came tighter.

And then, that's when Draco Malfoy came slowly bursting in.

As if.

Let's try that again.

And then, that's when Draco Malfoy came exploding in.

His wand was at a perfect 90 degree angle from his body and he had a serious professional look on his face.

Hadn't I told him not to come exploding in like that?

He seemed to have a good reason.

"Nott. Release her."

"Ah. If it isn't Mr. Malfoy. Your father was an honorable man."

"Release her."

"I will not."

"Nott, the Dark Lord has died years and years ago. Just get over yourself."

"NO! I WILL FINISH THE TASK OF MY LORD AND KILL OFF ALL MUDBLOODS IN THE WORLD!"

"Nott, rubbish. You know you'll never succeed. The ministry is at its peak. I'm trying to help you out here.

"That's a LIE!" Nott tightened the grip around Hermione. She gagged.

"Release her now. It is my order."

"Never. NEVER! NOT UNTIL SHE DIES LIKE SHE DESERVES! THE FILTHY MUDBLOOD KILLED MY LORD!"

"That was Potty head. Go kill him."

This time, a woman voice cut through him. "NO! DON'T KILL HARRY!" Hermione screamed

"Nott, release the girl. She did nothing to kill the Dark Lord."

As Nott's grip tightened, being the rebel he was, Hermione grabbed his arm and with all her strength, bent over and flipped him and Nott crashed hard into the floor.

"Whoa, Granger. That was some neat piece of martial arts there."

PUNCH. Draco fell into the black leather sofa. Nott had come up mysteriously and quickly and was now on top of Draco beating him up.

There was chaos. Nott had an advantage for he was on top, but Draco was stronger and a better fighter. Hermione had spent the last many punches and kicks trying to separate the two.

Until she realized she was a witch.

She scrambled behind Draco, pointed at Nott and screamed, "EXPELLIARMUS!"

Nott flew off of Draco, and knocked unconscious to the wall. The door banged open.

Dawlish, Tonks, and a few other aurors rushed in.

"Wotcher. It's Nott!" Tonks exclaimed as the group followed her to the bloody man.

Ned flew in and explained. "Draco had left the door slightly open and we could hear the commotion. We called up the aurors but since Draco was already in there, we couldn't budge."

"Yes, I understand. Great work guys." Hermione sighed.

Draco beamed.

"I've noticed that you totally disregarded anything that I told you, Malfoy." Hermione said pointily.

Draco lost the smile.

"But since you seemed to know the attacker personally, I guess you did a fine job today." She added.

Draco beamed once more.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hermione pointed her wand at the last wound on Draco's cheekbone. In a matter of seconds, it stopped bleeding and Hermione slapped a band aid on the scar. Draco winced.

"Did you contact Harry, yet?" Hermione asked in a business like tone.

"No."

"Could you do that please? The dinner is in just an hour."

"No! I don't want to talk to him."

"Oh, so you can talk to me but not to him?"

"Yeah. I mean, 'Mione. We LIVE together." Draco winked.

"If you say that one more time…"

"Okay, okay. I get it."

"Great. Thanks."

"For what?"

"For helping me out today."

"Oh. No, it was really nothing. Nott's a git."

"Yeah, I noticed." Hermione sighed again.

"Yeah."

Cue the uncomfortable silence.

"so…" Hermione put her hands on her knees and pushed herself up. She looked like a wreck.

"So…"

"I really don't feel like getting back to work." Hermione huffed.

"Am I dreaming? Is Hermione Granger actually not wanting to work?"

"No really! I've done enough today. She pushed herself out and Draco followed her.

Hermione grabbed Draco's phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Harry! Hi! Listen. Dinner's at 5. Remember?" pause. "Okay. Great. See you then. Don't be late!" pause. Cue the laugh. "Okay, okay. Bye."

"See that wasn't that hard."

"Yeah, because you're his best friend." Draco said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Seriously." Hermione rolled her eyes. "Hey, why don't you join me for dinner today with Harry?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please please? He's bringing Ginny and they're always all mushy and all and I have important things to talk to them about. If you come, you'll distract them from… each other."

"You mean the hot muggle lover?"

"…yes."

"Uh… no. It's all right."

"Please?" Hermione pouted.

Who can't accept a pout? A good ol' pout.

"…fine."

"Yay!" Hermione exclaimed. "Let's go home."

Draco smirked.

"That sounded… funny."

"Weirdo."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Ew, Malfoy, that suit is so ugly on you. Don't wear it again."

"What? Why? It's supposed to bring out the color of my eyes." Malfoy said, looking down at his gray suit.

"It's so old fashioned. Just change to something else please?"

"You haven't even changed yet!"

Hermione giggled. "I know."

"You are such a hypocrite."

"I am not. Go change."

Groaning, Draco walked back into his room.

HIS room.

After about a week of chaos, they have finally settled down and Hermione had finally just taken in the fact that Draco was going to be her roommate.

It was 4:50.

"WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Draco yelled into Hermione's room, pounding and pounding on the door."

"HOLD! I'M CHANGING!"

"Uh… do you need help?"

"NO! EW! NO! DID YOU CHANGE YOUR SUIT? IT WAS REALLY UGLY. UGGGGGLY."

"No."

"Do it now! NOW! NOW! NOW!"

"FINE!" Draco stuck out his tongue at the door and stomped into his room.

Draco smiled as he picked out his very favorite shirt: a bright lime green shirt with hot pink collars, buttons, and cuffs. She better like that one. He threw it on as he buckled on his white jeans. He didn't have a jacket to match. He could just be cold, right?

When he left the room, he was shocked to see Hermione already all ready to leave.

THEY WERE MATCHING!

Her halter dress was a flowy white material with lime green and hot pink seams.

WHITE…

HOT PINK…

LIME GREEN…

"Did you know I was wearing this?" Hermione asked after a long time of silence.

"No. Did you know I was wearing this?"

"No."

"What a coincidink."

"Tell me about it. Let's go."

"Which restaurant are you meeting that Potter boy?"

"He's not a boy anymore, you know. And we're going to Fantasia's."

"I hope he's paying." Draco muttered.

"He is."

"How do you know?"

"Because… you'll see." Hermione grabbed his arm and apparated there.

"Harry! Gin! Goodness, I haven't seen you two in ages. I think… you guys know Draco Malfoy?"

Harry and Ginny looked up from their cuddling in the corner of the restaurant.

"You brought Draco Malfoy as you date?"

"Not as my date! No! Ew, Harry. You know I won't do that. He's my roommate slash secretary."

Ginny snorted. "Secretary?"

"Hey, I'm a hotter secretary than you, Weasley." Draco drawled. Hermione hit his harm.

"I don't think so, Mr. Malfoy." She said, giggling softly. They sat down.

"Anyway. You said you needed to see us?" Harry said, ignoring Draco's comment.

"Yeah. I haven't paid you back yet and I've got the money now." Hermione handed him a velvet bag that had appeared from her purse. "Here."

Harry and Ginny opened it. A pile of coins and bills fell out.

"Oh! Hermione! Are you sure it isn't too much?"

"No. It's just the right amount."

"Well, I… Thanks, but I expected it to come in bits."

"Haha. You know I'm not that kind of person, Harry. And besides, now that you got your money, you can pay for the dinner." Hermione said, grinning widely.

"Sure thing."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After dinner, the foursome trudged over to Three Broomsticks for some good old fashioned firewhiskey.

Draco had begged to just let him go home, but Hermione dragged him along as well.

"Come on. It won't hurt."

Madame Rosmerta greeted them cheerily.

"Well if isn't the Hogwarts crew. What can I get you today?"

"We'll like 4 firewhiskeys to start with." Harry said loudly.

"3. I quit, remember?" Hermione said even louder.

"Aw… come on. Where's that party girl in you?" Ginny nudged.

"No really. I've had enough."

"No really. Come on. You can't get drunk with these things if you only have one. It takes over 3. Come on. Come on. Please? For me?" Harry batted his eyelashes.

Hermione burst out laughing. "Okay. Fine."

Madame Rosmerta appeared a second later with 4 bottles of firewhiskey. The group quietly chugged their bottle.

Slam. Ginny's hit the table first.

Slam. Draco's hit the table second.

Slam. Then, Harry's.

Slam. Then, Hermione.

OO 2 hours later OO

The whole store had closed. Madame Rosmerta stayed in the backroom, just waiting for the foursome to call out for more.

"You. You wereeeeeee just the MOST jeeerkiest jERK in the whoworld." Harry said, his eyes half closed and pointing at Malfoy, who laughed.

"You weeeeere inflaaaaaaaaaated too."

They laughed.

"I can't hic believe that youu twoooo hic are rooooooooommates." Ginny said.

"Me neeeeither. Goshh, I put up suchhh big assed fights. Youuuu don't KNOW how muuuuuch I swoooore. Buut now, we coooooooool. Cool like fireeeeeeeee." Hermione laughed.

"Yeahhhhh. Mannn. I remembeeeer I reeeeeealy reeeeeeeealy hated this muggggle. But sheee got so CUTE!" Draco exclaimed, grabbing Hermione. "My little cuuuuuuute muggggle. Suchh cuuuuute roooooommate." He said, pecking her cheek. The group laughed.

"I'm nooooot neeeeearly as cuuuute as you, my deeeeear rooooooommate." Hermione said, kissing his cheek back.

"You're nott only cuuute but also preeeeeeeeety like the wiiiiiiiind." Draco exclaimed.

And in a matter of seconds, Hermione and Draco were making out in their seats.

"You're soo hot- you cann- buuuurn-mee- ouuuuuuut." Hermione breathed between their gaps.

And they sat there, exchanging their firewhiskey saliva as Harry and Ginny followed their example as well.

Until.

BAM!

Harry and Ginny jumped up in shock and looked over to see what had made the BAM.

Madame Rosmerta came out of her room.

"That's it! You four get- Oh my goodness."

There on the ground of Three Broomsticks, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy lay still entangled into each other and their eyes closed.

Madame Rosmerta rushed over. "Excuse me? Are you two okay? Oh my! Are they dead?"

Silence held the air.

And then a loud snore allowed them to understand that they had fallen asleep in mid-kiss.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay! End of chapter. I was going to add more but I got too lazy and yeah.

Haha. So I hope you guys enjoyed this! Thanks for the awesome reviews, guys! I got some ideas for this chapter which I started using and it just didn't sound right. I WILL use the whole Ron and roses idea for a latter chapters.

I hope I incorporated the drunk part okay. I've never been drunk and I've only been around my drunk friends.

And I realized that the story is called Roommates but there's really no sign that they were roommates and the last 6 chapters have been just random crap so next chapter is all about Draco and Hermione as roommates!

Yes.

Okay. Well,

Ta ta!
