Chapter 18

Morning came much to the boys in the orange room. Harry, Ron and Draco were fast asleep when Ginny and Hermione came to tell them that breakfast was ready and waiting for them to come and get it.

Ginny saw this as the perfect time to get back at the boys for all the things they had done to them on the past.

The girls quickly conversed before headed to Ron and Harry's beds. Ginny at Harry's, Hermione at Ron's. They bent they're heads down next to their ears.

"Bacon."

"Eggs."

"Toast, ham, hash browns, sausage." They repeated breakfast foods over and over again as the boys smiled and drooled in their sleep. Soon thou the girls became bored with breakfast foods and moved on to drinks.

"Apple juice."

"Ice cold milk."

"Warm hot chocolate."

"Tall glass of pink lemonade." Both boys moved around in their beds, as it seemed they needed o use the restroom. Both girls smiled as they thought of the perfect way to get them up. Ginny grabbed to glasses of water from the bathroom as the girls put the boy's hands in the freezing water.

"Ice cold water!" They two girls repeated over and over in the boy's ears.

Both Harry and Ron's eyes shot open at the same time as they jumped out of bed in their boxers and headed towards the bathroom.

The girls giggled as they heard the two of them fight over who got to go first. After the voices of Ron and faded away, both girls knew their fun was over and it was time for breakfast.

"Aren't you coming?" Ginny questioned a frozen Hermione.

"I'll be down in a few. I just need to wake up Timmy." She smiled warmly to Ginny as she turned and headed down the twisty stairs.

Slowly Hermione walked over to Draco's bed, being as quite as her feet would let her. She seated herself at the side of the bed as she sat and watched him sleep for just a moment.

He looked like a much nicer person when he was asleep like this. His now red hair fell right into his closed, tired eyes; his body looked at peace as it slowly rose up and down in a rhythmic pattern. She smiled to herself; Hermione decided that this was her favorite time to be around Draco Malfoy.

It caught her by surprise. She had a favorite time to around someone who had never shown any real sign of kindness to her in the entire six years they had known each other and she was almost sure that he would never have a favorite time to be around a person like her. Her eyes flashed of a deep sadness of feeling out of place over took her. But it quickly left as the smell of a well-cooked breakfast reached her hungry stomach.

Hermione leaned her head over Draco's, as his head was facing the wall. Gently pushing him, she felt him move only slightly. She sighed. Pushing him again, he moved a little more.

"Draco, Draco. Get up. It's time to eat." She had leaned a bit closer to his ear to make sure that only he heard her speaking his name.

It was in that moment of time that Draco decided to roll over to see who was waking him up.

Their lips met. It was but a second that seemed to last a lifetime. Both of their eyes were wide with shock and fear. They pulled apart at the same moment. This caused Hermione to fall backwards off the bed and for Draco to roll off his bed between a wall and a bed.

Hermione quickly stood up told him breakfast was waiting downstairs and rushed out to eat some.

He didn't move for quite some time. He was in well, he wasn't sure what he was in. All he knew was that it was not a good thing or maybe it was. His head was spinning faster then a portkey. There was no way for him to make heads or tails of this whole thing, and he knew that Hermione would be just as freaked as he was.

It was an accident. They both knew it. A simple mistake that could ruin both of their young life's. If anyone were to ever find out, nothing good would come from it. This was sure to be a problem. They would both be avoiding each other and if they avoided each other too much, then someone was sure to notice, especially Ginny. She saw everything that went on.

Draco grabbed a pair of shorts lying on the ground and pulled a plane shirt over his head. He walked slowly down the stairs. Everyone at the table seemed almost finished, everyone but Hermione.

'Just great! This is just what we need! More time together!' He sat in the first empty chair at the table and began to fill his plate. He had seemed to forget just how hungry he really was.

The table emptied quickly as the boys headed outback for a swim in the lake. Ginny had gone upstairs to change and then met them there. Hermione had told them she had things to do but, would meet them down by the lake around one and bring lunch with her.

Draco told them he'd be down later. He was almost sure he was going to go crash on the couch for a few hours of much needed rest. He didn't understand how Harry could put up with Ron's snoring for so many years. It was awful! It was as loud as a foghorn and just as annoying as one.

After helping Mrs. Weasley, Hermione told her of the group's plan for lunch by the lake then headed up to Ginny and hers room to finish the last part of her essay for Snape.

The last thing Draco saw was Hermione headed up the stairs with a very red face, while she was putting her hair up in a ponytail.

"You can't push away the truth Hermione. It'll haunt you." Mrs. Weasley whispered to herself after Hermione had left. It was meant for only her to hear, but that wasn't how it turned out.
