Hermione woke from her dream to a large, loud crack that sounded like it was coming from the portrait hole.

"Shit!" She heard some one curse but wasn't sure who it was. Whoever it was had dropped a book and it gave a loud noise when it hit the ground. Struggling to pick up the dropped book was Draco. Hermione was relieved to have someone in the common room for company. She had been alone for a while and was longing for someone to talk to.

"What are you doing walking around with all those books Draco? Even you can't have that much homework I mean, come on." Hermione said sarcastically. She smiled and so did Draco. With a laugh Draco replied Sarcastically.

"All the better to be smarter than you with my dear.". This made Hermione laugh. It reminded her so much of the muggle book 'Red Riding Hood'

"Glad to see your up." He said putting the books on the coffee table. "How do you feel?"

"Much better thanks." Hermione said with a smile.

"Well, you slept through dinner, so when I came in about an hour or so ago I made you something to eat. It's on the table if you didn't notice." He motioned towards the table and there sat an entire meal it looked so good. Deserts piled high with a chocolate cake and hot fudge. There were also brownies with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge too. It all looked delicious. Hermione's stomach was growling and she couldn't wait to eat. She was still puzzled on one thing though.

"Draco?" Hermione asked.

"Mmhmm…"

"Why are you being so nice to me? You've taken care of me, brought my homework to me, brought me meals, why?" Hermione asked, unsure of what the answer might be. The last thing she wanted to do was upset him and make him go back to being the normal, heartless, selfish Draco that she grew up hating. Sure he still used her last name some of the time but it was a huge step up from using 'Mudblood' which he usually called her by. Now, he was careful at choosing his words. She liked the new Draco. He was kind of like Harry, but had many different traits about him that no one knew he had.

"Well Granger, I just thought that since you and I would be sharing a common room, not to mention, by our selves, I didn't want us to kill each other in the night. I figured we should at least be decent to each other seeing now we spend most of our time together."

"Oh, good idea." Hermione thought about it and yes, it was a very good idea. She couldn't think of why she didn't think of this herself. Draco then spoke up.

"So is that a truce?"

"Truce."

"Good, we can try to start over now."

"Start over?"

"You know being friends. Or at least something like that."

"Alright." said Hermione. She wasn't unsure of what benefits would come from her being friends with Draco. She never thought about it. What would Harry and Ron say? They're not going to like this. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, friends. Man, that would make people think. He was so rotten to her in the past 6 years and yet she just forgave him? 'What Am I thinking?' she thought. 'He's probably trying to play a trick on me.' Even though, she was pleased at the fact that he was willing to be friendly to Hermione. She smiled softly, happy at the sort of effect she was having against the Almighty Draco Malfoy, The Slytherin prince. She was going to take this friendship to her full advantage.

"Do you think, that maybe you could be nice to Harry and Ron too?"

"Merlin Granger! I said I could be friendly to you because we have to live together. Just because of that I'm not going to become friends with the entire Gryffindor house if that's what you want. I don't want them thinking I've gone soft so I can only be a little bit friendly to you! You and you only! Is that a problem?" this time his tone had gone a bit colder and he now seemed like the Draco Malfoy that she used to know, not the one that wanted to be friends.

Hermione seemed taken aback by this statement and seemed puzzled. She didn't know why Draco had suddenly changed his mood.

"I see, so were back to that again? Back to the old, 'lets not tell anyone I'm being nice so I'm just going to be an arse in the meantime' act. Are we back there?" She was starting to get upset, and turned to head to her room.

Draco sighed and replied with an annoyed voice, "Oh, I'll try, but I'm not making any promises Hermione and don't expect me to become best friends with them because that's the last thing on their minds, as for mine. You have to remember, were enemies"

"I'll talk to them and it is worth a shot you know." Hermione said. She turned around and headed back towards Draco. She was pleased that he was going to take her thought into consideration.

"Do I have to be friends with Weaslbee?"

"Yes!" Hermione replied sternly. She was getting mad. She hated it when someone called her two best friends any names and Draco was no exception. Draco smirked.

"What?" Hermione asked curiously.

"You're sexy when your mad." Draco said. He laughed at the face Hermione made after her said that. It was a mixture of shock, embarrassment, and could it be, a hint of happiness? Hermione was trying so hard to cover up her emotions but it was no good. Draco could see them all. He smirked again and walked off to make another cup of hot chocolate leaving stunned Hermione to think about what he just said.

"You know you don't mean that right? And I know your just doing that to make me mad, well let me tell you Mr. Malfoy that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!" Hermione was furious. She felt as if steam would come out of her ears any moment now.

"Too late it seems. Wow, Hermione, so steamed over a compliment." Draco was full on smiling now. Not In the evil, mischief smirking way but smiling. It was rather nice "You're doing it again by the way and let me tell you, its turning me on even more."

Hermione felt her face go red. Was this really happening?
