A/N: So, here's the next chapter! Thanks to those who reviewed. :)

Jessica Stone: uhhmm.. yeah, its somewhat an AU and somewhat not. Its an AU because Dumbledore is still alive and Snape still works at Hogwarts but besides that, he rest is the same really. Thanks for the review. Really appreciate it.

Dracosbaby2: haha! I was actually thinking of Orlando bloom when I wrote that part so, hell, Draco became a pirate. Haha! Thanks for the review, it made me smile. Im seeing that you have been reviewing my chapters. Thanks so much!

Forbidden Love: Thanks for reviewing once again! I so love you and your reviews! Lol:) How was Arizona? That is like so cool!

Mistyqueen: Thanks for the review! I know I suck at sex scenes, im sorry. But I hope to improve on writing those kinds of things. Yeah, I made it descent. :) The thing you said about hermione knowing what she's done… I had things worked out already (Hermione not remembering and all) but since you wanted it to be like that, I changed it. I hope it's better though. :)

Back to before

Hermione had awoken the next day feeling relieved yet exasperated at the same time. She had felt that something had happen the night before, although, she couldn't remember what it was. The windows were open and for some weird reason, she had noticed that her room had changed. Besides from it being messy, it was different. What also struck her was that she was wearing her underwear but she never wears those kinds of garments when going to sleep. She stretched herself and her body as she stood up. She took the bed sheets and started cleaning it up. She really thought her surroundings were rather odd. As she was about to finish tidying up the bed, Draco who had just finished showering entered the room.

"Good, you're awake"

She looked at him, bewildered.

"What are you doing here?" she said trying to cover her half naked body

"What are you doing? I've seen more than what you are right now. It's not like I haven't seen you nake…"

"Oh my God! You mean, I had.."

"Had sex with me?"

"Holy mother of… I thought there was really something up. God! You deflowered me Malfoy!"

"Well you let me do so"

She forced to remember what had happened the night before, but she couldn't.

"You are such a pervert, you know. Get out Malfoy and leave me alone" she said sitting down on her bed

"Uhhm.. Whatever, but, let me get my things first"

"Your things?"

"Yes"

"Why don't you get them in your room?"

"This is my room Granger"

Her cheeks turned crimson as she walked away from his room. She knew there was something different about that room. His room and hers made a little difference that's why it looked almost identical.

She sat down by the corner of her bed and started musing about what had happened the night before. She couldn't believe that it was Draco Malfoy she had made love with. She doubted it at first but was convinced later on when she started to remember what had happened. Everything came back to her when she remembered a sign. A sign, which she saw on Draco's body. The sign she remembered she kissed. Now it all came back. She remembered how he touched her, how he kissed her, how he caressed her, how he was inside her, how she felt, how he must have felt, how he looked and how her first sex felt. She also remembered how it all started and how it ended. Now she knew that it was she who was the cause of their lovemaking. Now she felt guilty for calling Malfoy a pervert. He isn't a pervert after all, she thought. She wore her school robe and then knocked on Malfoy's room. Draco opened the door, after a while.

"Are you back here to freakin' insult me again?"

"Uhh.. No. I.. I just wanted to say sorry. I guess I shouldn't have called you a pervert"

He smirked as she bit her lip.

"Forgot what happened a while ago?"

She nodded bashfully.

"I'm sorry. It wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for me" she said in tears

He couldn't understand why she was crying but somehow, he felt the need to comfort her. That was probably the least he could do after sleeping with her

"Hey, don't cry" he said as he embraced her tightly, gently stroking her hair

"I wanted Ron to be my first" she said sobbing heavily but he stopped.

He couldn't understand it but he felt a pang on his chest when she said those words. Was he jealous? No? Was it because he hated to hear Weasel's name? No? Or was it because he was falling for her? Hell no! he thought.

"Ha! You want that gay to be your first?" he said as he let go of her

She glared at him, "He is not bloody gay!"

"Oh, yes he freakin' is. He's fuckin' gay! Aren't you glad I was your first? At least I'm straight. And besides, I'm better at that than your Weasel could probably be"

"Better at that? What makes you think you're better than him?"

"Wanna bet?"

"Ohh yes I.." before she could finish, Draco pressed his lips onto hers. He was kissing her again as she was kissing back. She moaned softy as his tongue met hers. He deepened the kiss by opening his mouth further and just when she was about to return the kiss, he backed away. "See" he said in an I-told-you-so manner

She looked at him with contempt and then slapped him once again.

"When will you ever stop slapping me?"

"When you've grown up and stop acting like a jerk, an idiot, a bastard and a pervert"

"I thought you were apologizing to me a while ago because you called me that?" he said in a stubborn manner

"Well I take it back"

"You are so indecisive"

"Well, you are such a pervert" she said then turned back to return to her room

"Mudblood"

"Pervert"

"Filthy Mudblood"

"Asshole"

"Bitch"

"Shut the hell up Malfoy!"

"You shut the hell up Granger!"

And yes, they were back to before, taunting, ridiculing, mocking, deriding and whatnot.

The two days after, during Transfiguration class, Malfoy sat at the corner near the door. Hermione entered with her books and sat far from Malfoy because she wanted to avoid his mockery and ridicules. They have gone back to the way they were before; in fact, she stopped tutoring Malfoy the day they had their fight. It has been ongoing for the past three days and it was like they hadn't even slept together. She hated the fact that her first encounter had to be with someone who would even think of that encounter as anything but special. Well, yes, he's annoyed with every bit of Draco Malfoy but she still can't resist looking at him. It was really weird though. When Professor McGonagell asked a question and Hermione did her very famous only-hand-on-air raise, Draco muttered loud enough so that Hermione could hear "Smarty Pants". Professor McGonagell glared at him and warned him to stop what he is doing. She also told him that he should see her after class.

Draco expected that Professor McGonagell would scold him again and give him detention but to his great-unanticipated expectation (this isn't the reason why my story's title is like that), she didn't. Instead, she told him that he has already been excelling in Transfiguration and since he and Hermione still weren't getting along, she has to stop the tutoring for the sake of Hermione. He jumped for joy when he heard this. He was really happy. Now he had no more troubles and worries. He will be able to comply with his promise to the Dark Lord which is to remain in the Head Boy position no matter what happens. Quidditch wouldn't happen till next year so it won't bother him that much. The only thing that bothers him right now is Hermione, the freakin' Head girl. He is too annoyed with her for reasons even he, doesn't know. It seems that he has been feeling more contempt for her at this moment than the moments before which he could not explain why. Although it is quite blatant that it may be because of jealousy, he denies himself to think of that thought. He shouldn't and must never think of her as someone more than a mere "partner".

Draco muttered the new password to their dormitory "Fagglewiskies". He had to get his books for the next few subjects. He didn't want to stay at the dormitory or even go back there till the end of the day because he wanted to avoid the mudblood's presence. Unfortunately, she was there, reading her books by the couch. He noticed that she was looking at him so he said "What are you lookin' at mudblood?"

She remained silent but resided to her room. He was glad that she retreated to her room because he didn't want to see her face or maybe he did. He was confused, really. He has been thinking of her as pretty or blooming but nothing more than that. Every time he looked on her face he was always reminded of her expression during their first and hopefully final (for him) encounter. The way her eyes had looked at him with so much passion and desire. Then, he started to think if the mudblood actually liked him. Could it be possible? He thought.

The next day, the prefects and Heads had their meeting late at night. Ron and Hermione were together as they went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. When they entered, they were once again welcomed with the usual scorns of Draco Malfoy. She tried to ignore it and hoped Ron would do something to stop his mockery but he didn't. Draco couldn't explain what he felt when he saw the couple he hated the most enter. They were looking very sweet and it caused him to admit that yes, he was jealous. It was the reason why he had just insulted them once again. He badly wanted to tell Ron that he had slept with his girlfriend. He also wanted to tell him that he was her first but he couldn't because it would ruin his reputation. He never wants to destroy the reputation he had been establishing. When Dumbledore and the other professors entered, the meeting started. Hermione and Draco worked together as told before but they didn't exactly work together because they were near each other but weren't even speaking nor talking to each other. If they wanted to say something, they wrote it down and let the other person read it. And hell, even through paper, their irritation was still manifested. After a grueling hour and a half, the meeting had ended. They were almost half way to finishing the plans. Hermione had thought of a design and motif for the upcoming Yule ball. Of course she doesn't want to have a repetition of the theme last time they had a Yule ball. She remembered it clearly, how the Yule ball had happened. Krum was her date and it seemed like forever since that happened. She realized that certainly, time was changing. Before, she was with Krum but now she is with Ron. What also changed is the way people looked at her. Before, they thought of her as nothing but a suck up bookworm but now, they gave her more respect since she is the Head Girl and all. Draco on the other hand has just been doodling once again. He was too distracted due to the thought of what he is currently feeling and the Beauxbaton girls coming. He needed to find a girl immediately because he realized why he has been acting like this. He felt alone and he needed a companion who would give him what he wants and what he needs (I think most of you get what I mean). He found it really weird because he knew there were a lot of girls out there who would do anything to have him but he couldn't find a girlfriend himself. He is hot and he knows it only thing is, it bothered him why Hermione preferred to have Ron who is not at all hot to his eyes, than him.
