A/N: I know that last chapter was very short and uneventful but I needed to write it to introduce what comes next. I think you'll love this chapter. It's my favourite! Read and tell me if you like it.

the Jersey Girl Next Door: I wasn't thinking of putting them in the story… they will appear sometimes but it will mainly be a Draco/Hermione. Do you think its ok or would you put more Ron & Harry?

Disclaimer: I. Own. Nothing.

LAST CHAPTER:

"Then, the first one who wakes up takes the bath"

"Deal" he smirked and his eyes were glowing with a spark of malice. He arrived to his bedroom. "levantus mismus" he murmured. 'What am I doing? Why am I doing this? It's not like she interests me or something…'

My parents' story

By: A. Lupin

Chapter 4: Common bathrooms and new pairs

Draco

Light emanated from my wand at the same time she woke up.

"Why does she have to wake up so early? Damn girl" I grunted. It was still dark outside and I could feel my eyelids resisting to open.

I quickly got up and opened the door to the bathroom, without even changing my pyjamas. She was already at the door that connected her bedroom and the bathroom when I arrived, with her school robes neatly folded in one hand and soaps in another. It took her a few seconds to register that I was there, and I took that time to watch her closely. Her hair looked as she had just come from a fight, all frizzy and bushy; her eyelids were still half closed, but I could still see those big chocolate eyes of hers. She was wearing a bathrobe and I couldn't help but notice how the lace above her waist framed a voluptuous body. 'Enough thinking'.

I crossed the bathroom and stood in front of her.

"It is my turn first!" I said superiorly.

"Why?" she glared at me.

"Isn't it obvious? Because I'm a pureblooded and you're not"

"No, you're not going in first because you're parents are magic and mine aren't, I'm going first because I woke up first" she said stepping forward and moving towards the bathroom and putting her hand in the door knob.

"No, we woke up exactly at he same time" I smirked knowingly.

"How are you so sure?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Levantus mismus, Granger. Just in case you forgot, this spell was invented by Hannah Pettwick accidentally while she..."

"Anyway, I'm going in" she said, pushing me away.

I wouldn't let her win. No. I wouldn't let my worst enemy win me. I could just push her, but I didn't want to harm her - Malfoys don't harm woman. I smirked as I thought of what I was going to do. It was crazy thinking it and doing it, she was my worst enemy. But for a moment I didn't mind. I didn't know why. I went closer to her, our faces so close, that I could feel her breath on my chin. I paused for a moment, and I leaned down to kiss her. I saw her widen her eyes but not pull away; poor Granger, had she ever been kissed? Then, without knowing where it came from, I felt an urge to kiss those soft lips of hers; but I tried not to loose control of myself, a Malfoy never did. Then, with a soft movement I whispered in her ear as I passed my arms around her waist slowly, very, very close to her.

"Sorry Miss Granger, but I will shower first. Try next time harder, this one, I win" I winked at her seductively and put my hands around her waist and went in, smirking. I turned her around so now she was looking towards on her room and his on the door. At that moment, I didn't know why I was so gentle with her, it was strange coming from me. Draco 1 Hermione 0.

Hermione

I stood there, still in the same position he left me, shocked and thinking: 'Why was I waiting for a kiss? And I was really waiting for it. But he surprised me; I didn't think he could be so gentle with women. Was he like this with all women or only with me? Anyway, why is this worrying me?'

What the hell had he been thinking? I'd ask him once he comes out from the bath. This was only to get the bath? No. he had used levantus mismus, a spell to wake up at the same time as somebody else. It was a question of honour, like most other fights. But this one had been different. Later on I would discover why.

Half an hour later I was still waiting at the door and starting to get impatient.

"Come on, Malfoy, I want to come in!" she yelled.

"If you can't resist me, come in" she could see him smirk through the door.

"Shut up and hurry up, if not, I'll come in" she threatened him. He laughed. 'Are you sure you want to play this game?', I thought.

I muttered alohomora and the door opened widely. There he was, only wearing a towel, showing his spectacular and musculous chest. His hair was wet and made me so…

"Please Hermione" Draco said looking from his wife to her daughter, hiding a smile.

"Sorry"

I could see he was surprise by my guts, I am sure he thought I was prude and that I would not dare open the door, but he recovered quickly.

"You couldn't resist having the great Draco Malfoy at the other side of the door and you had to come in, didn't you?" she ignored him.

"I wanted to come in because" she looked at her watch "you have been exactly thirty two minutes and forty four seconds inside the bathroom. What have you been doing so much time? Looking at your reflection in the mirror and making sure your make up was perfect?" she grinned.

"First of all, its been thirty three minutes and two seconds, second, I've been having a shower and third, I was NOT putting on make up, I was just brushing my hair" he explained, got his clothes and went towards his room, angry.

I answered a 'whatever'. He closed the door and I started to shower.

"WHAT?" my best friends, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, shouted in unison.

"Dumbledore knows about how you hate Malfoy and he still puts you to sleep in next door to him?" Ron said, getting angry.

"It's worse for me. But I'll try to ignore him as much as I can"

"We were worried yesterday when you sent us the owl telling us you had other accommodations, but THIS…"

"Calm down, Ron. Hermione, if he does something to you, tell us, OK?" Harry said and I nodded.

"Lets go to potions, we don't want Snape to take points from Gryffindor, do we?" I asked. We collected our bags, got up and went to the dungeons.

"As always, Gryffindors are late. Ten points from Gryffindor"

"But we arrived on time today, Professor" I said, looking at my watch.

"Do you want ten points less?" he inquired, stupid Snape, always against Gryffindors.

"Sorry professor Snape" I murmured.

"Everyone, take your seats. This year we are going to do a very special project" Professor Snape said as he got his papers. "We are going to do a very difficult potion. Many of you will be able to do it" he eyed the Slytherins "and some others won't" this time he eyed the Gryffindors. "Its called the secretus potion which has to strictly be done by partners of the same level of intelligence as each of you. Anyone knows what the secretus potion is?" he asked and again looked at the Slytherins. As usual, my hand shot in the air. "Anyone?" he ignored me. "Draco?"

"It is a potion that you do together with your partner to discover your deepest secret. Once the potion is finished, you both drink it and one person says the secret of the other" the prince of Slytherin said superiorly, I also knew!

"yes, I'm sure you did" he said sarcastically.

"I really did know! I had read it thousands of times".

"You thought you knew all" he said.

"I knew all".

"You didn't".

"I did".

Beverly's eyes were bouncing from one parent to another without understanding.

"You didn't".

"I did".

"You did".

"I didn't" she finally said and a smirk played on Draco's face.

"Oh shut up, Malfoy" he continued to smirk.

"Very good, Draco. Twenty points for Slytherin. Now I will say the partners. As I said earlier, you are partnered with the person who equals or his/her intelligence is similar to yours."

I was hoping I would be paired with him… and I looked at him and he smiled at me. He was not like those Slytherins. Ernie Macmillan.

He looked down at the list. "Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy" what? I couldn't believe it. Apart from sharing a place to live, I am partnered with him! He will know my deepest secret! I blushed and he looked at me across the room.

I asked if the partners were incorrect, how can Snape even decide who has equal intelligence?

"I'm sorry Miss Granger, they aren't"

"Its worse for me. I have to work with a filthy mudblood" I heard him murmur. And I glared at him and tried to calm, I would talk to him after class, in the common room.

I was going to speak to McGonagall about it. I did not think it was legal to try that potion between students!

Draco

"Can't the partners be incorrect?" she asked she was nervous and was trying to hide her anger, you could see it by the tone of voice she used.

"I'm sorry Miss Granger, they aren't"

"Its worse for me. I have to work with a filthy mudblood" I said, as usual. But this time I don't know exactly why but I didn't really mean it. She heard me and glared at me. Her eyes were saying 'wait until we are in the common room'. I was also waiting for it, I loved to see her angry. I was thinking that too much in the last days, I had to sleep more.

"Potter and Ms Patil" they smiled to each other. Stupid Gryffindors, they make me ill, always smiling.

"Yesterday you actually told me you loved to see me smile"

"Well I…" now she had won.

"Why did it make you angry, daddy?"

"Because Gryffindor (your mother's house) and Slythertin (my house) have always been rivals" he explained. "this is mostly why we started to hate each other. We were completely different. Pure blooded, muggleborn. Slytherin, Gryffindor. Bookworm, intelligent…" she smacked his arm playfully.

"Hey!"

"Continue, daddy! I want to know your deepest secret"

"All right"

"Blaise Zabini, Lavender Brown" I saw Blaise hide a smile, she was a hot one.

"Longbottom, Pansy Parkinson"

"What! I'm not THAT stupid! There must be an error! I should go with my Drakulinus!" I was smiling. No Pansy for a long time!

"No error Parkinson" Snape said and she made him an angry face. "You have two months. You have to have it finished the second of November. The day you finish it come and see me and you'll take it in front of me. I will see if the potion has worked if you pupils are dilatated and your ears are bigger than usual. Now, you can go" I had a free period and I wanted to take a nap in my new common room.

But no. Granger had to be there. She was doing homework! I couldn't believe it. The first day of school? She came to me holding her potions book under her arm. She had rolled the sleeves of her shirt and partially opened on the top. I stared at it a bit too long.

"We need to get started to do our project, Malfoy", she said crossing her arms under her breasts.

"Not now! It's the first day of school! Leave me alone, I want to sleep" she took out her want and pointed at me "accio wand" my wand flew to her. "Now come or I will hex you" she certainly knew how to make someone obey.

"Ok, ok" we sat on her desk and she took out her potions book and started to read it again. "Granger, how many times have you read it? Five? Six?" I said exaggerating.

"Seven, actually" she lifted her face from the book. Seven? How can you read the same page seven times? She was really crazy. "We have to start to make out the…" make out? MAKE OUT?

I was leaning closer to her "make out? When shall we start?"

A/N: next chapter you will see her/his point of view and what will happen… please R&R and tell me if you liked it! I really appreciate reviews
