Ron stared at his baby sister with shock. 'He was in your bed??!!' Ginny nodded disgustedly and he fought back the urge to hunt Zabini down and kill him. 'How did he get there??'

'I don't know… he wasn't awake when I woke up so I pushed him down the staircase and yelled at him until he left the common room.'

Ginny stared at the sleeping form beside her in horror. It was him AGAIN!! A SLYTHERIN WAS ALSEEP IN HER BED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING THERE??!!

She did the only thing she could: she screamed. The other girls in her dorm awoke with a start and crowded around the sleeping Slytherin. They were livid.

Draco donned the invisibility cloak and threw open the curtains.

'You okay Hermione?' Lavender called out. The girl in question stuck her head out.

'Yeah!! Yeah I'm fine!!'

'Omph!' Parvati fell head over heels as she wandered out of the bathroom and Hermione was certain she could hear a snicker.

'Oy!!' She hissed.

'What was that?' Lavender asked in concern.

'Nothing!!' Hermione cried. She bit back the urge to shoo everyone out of the dorm and instead fled to the common room. Ginny, Ron, and Harry sat around the fire idly talking, and she took a seat by them. 'Hi everyone.' She smiled.

'Hermione you will not believe what happened to me!' Ginny hissed. Hermione felt a breeze move beside her and knew Draco was listening, but ignored him. She leant forward with piqued interest.

'What?'

'I woke up and… Blaise was asleep beside me.'

'What so you're calling him by his first name now?' Ron muttered loudly.

'Oh shut up Ronald.' Hermione snapped. She felt the empty space beside her snicker and managed to elbow it without looking peculiar. The thing was, the rest of the group heard the 'ouch'.

'What was that?' Harry asked suspiciously. He leapt to his feet and drew out his wand. 'VOLDERMORT WILL NOT WIN SO EASILY!! I WILL PREVAIL AGAINST DARKNESS IN THE END!!'

'Harry,' Hermione said quietly, 'I don't think Voldermort could be in this castle undetected.'

'Aha!!' Harry pulled out his map with a devious grin. 'We shall see!' Hermione's heart almost stopped as she made a wild grab for it, but to no avail. Harry evaded her and muttered the words needed to conjure up the map. What he saw made him freeze. 'What is Malfoy doing in this room?'

-

Draco pulled down the invisibility cloak to reveal his head with a sigh. 'Hold any dangerous spells you might be aiming at me.' He muttered a little uneasily. 'Erm… Hermione wanted to tell you something.' His girlfriend shot him a murderous glare but he pretended he didn't see it.

'We're erm…' she began.

'-Going out?' Ron finished with a look that questioned her sanity. 'WE KNOW!!'

'What the hell are you doing here though?' Harry demanded. His face went white as he realised. 'Oh no… OH NO!! YOU WERE SERIOUS WHEN YOU ASKED ME ABOUT GETTING A BOY INTO YOUR DORM AT BREAKFAST!! AND I SUPPOSE THAT IS MY INVISABILITY CLOAK??!!!'

'Erm… no it's Crabbe's.' Hermione muttered under her breath. Ginny sat staring in disbelief at the two and shook her head.

'This is highly disturbing.' She said weakly. Draco it seemed had had enough.

'I think I'll be off now.' He announced loudly.

'Oh no you don't!!' Harry shouted. He dove at the fair-haired boy and tackled him; it was only then that the other Gryffindors noticed the Slytherin in their midst.

'What the hell??!!' Katie cried. 'Is that MALFOY??!!'

'No, it's his twin brother who happens to be in Gryffindor.' Draco muttered sarcastically. 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK?!'

'Draco just go now!' Hermione cried. She dragged him over to the portrait hole and gave him a chaste kiss. 'Before they KILL you!!'

'Okay.' Draco mumbled faintly. 'Bye… until…' He winked and she rolled her eyes before shoving him out.

'Care to explain Hermione?' Harry asked with a murderous glare. She fidgeted uncomfortably and looked at Ron, who also gave her a dirty look.

'Well… me and Draco are going out.' She explained.

'Because you are under an INFATUATION CHARM!!' Ron shouted angrily. Ginny rolled her eyes (she suspected more) and Hermione resisted the urge (just) to smack her head into the wall in exasperation.

'No I'm not, Ron.' Hermione said through clenched teeth. Harry eyed her suspiciously.

'You might be someone else using the Polyjuice Potion to look like Hermione!' He shouted.

'Harry, you are far too paranoid for your own good!' His best friend shouted. Tears welled up in her eyes and she brushed them brusquely away. 'Listen to me! I like him! I like Draco and I am not under some spell!'

'How do we know that?' Ron demanded. His friend looked at him in amazement and stood up abruptly.

'I can't believe you just said that Ron.' She blinked back fresh tears, and ran up the staircase into her dormitory.

-

Draco wandered along the empty corridor and yawning, he sat down with his back against the wall. He was so sleepy… he wanted nothing more than to just fall asleep…

Someone was crying. He awoke with a start to see Hermione hunched over gripping a stuffed animal; her hair dishevelled and her skin blotchy.

'You look awful.' Draco said simply. She let out a sob and he bit his lip as the realisation dawned that it may not have been the best thing to say. 'Do you want a tissue?' he asked helpfully; he got no reply. 'Um… how about some toast? It worked last time.'

'Oh you're useless!!' Hermione burst out. He gave her a startled look and raised his eyebrows.

'Thanks.'

'Can't you hug me or something?!' She continued. 'Does it not occur that I might need some comforting??!!!!'

'I didn't think-'

'Yes!! It was obvious you didn't think!!'

'Well what do you want me to say?' Draco asked, beginning to get annoyed.

'Nothing you prat!! Hug me!!'

'Uh… I don't think I want to now.'

'Oh you are unbelievable.' Hermione dabbed at the corner of her eyes with her sleeve and he looked at her incredulously.

'I'm sorry?'

'FINE!! BE THAT WAY THEN!!' She scrambled to her feet and flounced off. It was only then he noticed he was in a stall of a girls' bathroom.

'How odd.' He commented to himself.
