Hermione woke up and snuggled into her warm pillow, keeping her eyes closed. Her pillow seemed to tense underneath her. Hermione shrugged it off and wrapped her arms around the pillow. She heard an amused chuckle somewhere to her left. Then the one who chuckled suggested in an amused tone, "I think you can ask her politely to get off of you, Mr. Malfoy. I believe she's awake."
Hermione's eyes snapped open and shot to her 'pillow'. She let out a small squeak of surprise then blushed a very bright shade of red. "Sorry Malfoy." She apologized, still very red.
Draco rolled his eyes. "How about.I'm sorry that I strangled Draco to death causing him to get two hours of sleep because of his constant waking up due to Granger strangling, squeezing or snuggling which made poor Draco very uncomfortable and vowing to hex the ass off of Granger?" He growled.
"Oops! Sorry Malfoy! I didn't mean to!" Hermione squeaked.
He muttered something in which the words 'mudbloods' and 'stupid sleeping habits' were distinguishable.
Dumbledore, who had been watching the entire time chuckled, catching Draco and Hermione's attention. He watched as Hermione amazingly grew even redder. "Good morning Miss Granger. Did you get a comfortable sleep?" He asked.
"Er.I guess so?" Hermione asked, sitting up.
"I didn't." Draco replied, glaring daggers at Hermione.
"Well, seeing as how today's Sunday, I'll leave you two here. Mr. Malfoy, you can get some sleep." At this, Draco leaned on Hermione and nodded, "Miss Granger, I'll get Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley to get you your homework or something to do. They've both been quite worried about you. But I advise you two to stay together. If you part, I believe you'll still experience that horrible pain. I'll leave you two now." Dumbledore stated, being interrupted by a growling noise. Then he added, "Would you like breakfast?"
"Yes please, sir." Hermione replied immediately, grinning sheepishly.
"And you Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked.
Draco didn't reply. He had fallen asleep on Hermione's chest and looked rather comfortable. Hermione blushed, "I think he's asleep."
Dumbledore chuckled, "Are you alright Miss Granger?"
Hermione nodded stiffly.
"Alright. I'll get someone to bring you breakfast, then get Harry and Ron to deliver you your books and homework." Dumbledore replied, walking out the door.
***
As Dumbledore was closing the door, he heard a snore. Filch was still there, asleep. Apparently, he had stayed the night, watching Draco and Hermione. He was clutching something beneath him (he was on his stomach and drooling all over the floor.
Dumbledore, curious, retrieved the object Filch was clutching. He sweatdropped and nearly fell down; it was a voodoo doll that looked vaguely like Draco and a photograph of Draco where he cut out a picture of himself and stuck it beside Draco. Poor pathetic old Filch.
Shrugging, he put the photograph and the voodoo Draco back where he found them and loudly cleared his throat, "Ahem."
Filch rolled over and moaned, "Draco, don't stop."
Dumbledore sweatdropped and someone behind him gagged. He turned around to find Harry wide-eyed, an expression of disgust on his face. Ron who was behind him was the source of the gagging.
Both quickly regained their composure. "Um, Professor Dumbledore, can we see Hermione yet?" Harry asked in a pleading tone.
"Yeah, please? We haven't been allowed since now!" Ron complained.
"Alright, on one condition. Bring her and Mr. Malfoy their homework and books. I have a feeling they're going to be in there for awhile." Dumbledore replied, his eyes twinkling in amusement.
"Yes sir." They replied in unison, rushing off.
***
Hermione shifted uncomfortably. The blonde Slytherin on her chest wrapped his arms around her and snuggled deeper into her breasts. Hermione stiffened and tried to gently move Draco away, but he wouldn't budge. Hermione squirmed around a little, but soon realized that the only thing that happened was that Draco would tighten his grip on her. Sighing, Hermione gave up. "Guess it's payback. Man, he must've been uncomfortable too." Hermione muttered to herself.
The door opened and Snape came in, carrying a tray, grumbling about him being a slave. "here's your breakf-Oh. am I interrupting anything Miss Granger?" Snape smirked.
Hermione blushed, then glared, "Is that my breakfast?"
Snape nodded, the smirk never leaving his face.
"Then may I have my breakfast now. sir?" Hermione demanded.
"Sure." He replied, "Have fun! Potter and Weasley will be coming up shortly. I'd love to see their expressions, but."
With that he walked out.
"Damn." Hermione cursed softly.
***
As soon as Snape reached his private quarters, he let out a truly sinister laugh. "Mwahahahahaha Bwahahahahahahahahahahah! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahah! Severus, you're a genius! You expert voice-impersonator! Mwahahahahaahahahahahaha!"
"Er. are you okay Professor?" A voice asked.
Snape quickly regained his composure. "Er, yes. I was just overjoyed at the fact that my potion for, er greasier hair worked."
"Um, okay."
"Shoot. Note to self, next time you do a sinister laugh, do it with silencing wards on your room Severus." Snape said to himself, watching the first year hurry off, "Damn."
***
"YES! We finally get to visit Hermione provided we bring her and Malfoy their homework, books and change of clothes!" Harry exclaimed once they'd turned the corner.
"I'm coming too!" Ginny piped in out of nowhere.
Both jumped in surprise before sighing in relief
"Fine." Ron replied.
The three set off to the Hospital Wing immediately talking the whole way.
"Do you think it's true?" Ginny asked.
"What's true?" Ron replied in a questioning tone.
"That Hermione and Malfoy are in love." Ginny answered.
"I don't think so, I hope not." Ron stated darkly.
Melissa Black, a first year griffindor suddenly came up to Harry, Ron and Ginny. "Are you guys going to the dungeons?"
Harry frowned, "No why?"
"I'd avoid Snape for now. He just went crazy and laughed like a maniac saying how he's a great voice-impersonator. He's crazy, honestly."
The trio frowned in confusion.
"Voice impersonator?" Ginny asked dumbly.
Suddenly, a puzzle piece clicked into Harry's brain. "I think I get it. Snape was making Hermione and Malfoy seem in love. They aren't really. He was impersonating Hermione Malfoy and Malfoy's Dad. But why?" He stated in realization.
"Oh." Said Ginny quietly.
"I don't know. That's so unsnapelike." Ron commented.
"We'll figure it out later. Right now, let's get to Hermione!" Harry exclaimed.
Ginny, Harry and Ron tried to dash off, but the combined mass of Hermione and Malfoy's books were just too heavy. They ended up having to walk.
***
Hermione started eating, careful not to get any on Draco or the bed. She tried not t move much because of Draco's habit of snuggling deeper into her chest with every movement, but it was hard. She gave up on eating after half a pancake.
Sighing she looked down at Draco. "Did you have this much trouble with me when I was asleep?" She asked softly.
She studied his face expecting the normal cold expression, the only difference being his eyes closed, but it was peaceful looking, which shocked her. She lightly brushed some hair off his face. For some reason, his grip loosened slightly. Then she heard the door open then a very loud thud and a few gasps and another thud. (A/N: * groans * Man this is so cliché Draco/Hermione. How.unoriginal)
Harry, Ron and Ginny had all dropped the books they were carrying, mouths all gaping. The second thud was Ron falling down from shock. No one said a thing for what seemed like forever. Finally, The silence was broken by Harry clearing his throat, then all four started speaking at once.
"What's going on Hermione?" Asked Harry as Hermione said, "It's not what it seems." Blended in with Ginny's, "This'll be good gossip." And Ron's, "I think I'm going to be sick."
Then everyone's, "Pardon?"
"After you, but try to be quiet, Malfoy's asleep." Hermione said.
Another round of gaping mouths occurred.
"Wha-what's going on between you and Malfoy anyway?" Ron asked with an expression of disgust on his face.
"Nothing." Hermione replied truthfully.
"Can I ask something?" Harry asked.
"Isn't that what you just did anyway?" Hermione replied in a teasing tone, "Just kidding.go ahead, shoot."
"Why do you even care if Malfoy gets his sleep?" Harry asked.
Hermione grinned sheepishly. "Because I kept him up all night." She replied.
More gaping occurred. "Y-you did what?!" Ron exclaimed.
"I kept him up all night.Oh!" Hermione explained, blushing in realization at how her phrase could be easily misperceived.
"Oh what?" Ron demanded.
"You guys have dirty minds. I didn't keep him up all night THAT way!" Hermione explained, watching the tension in everyone ease visibly, but not much.
"Then how did you 'keep him up all night'?" Harry asked.
Hermione blushed, "Well. um.apparently, I was constantly snuggling up into his chest, like he's doing right now. And it made him really uncomfortable so he was stiff all night and got like an hour of sleep, but I slept well."
"I don't get it, why didn't he just push you off and why don't you push him off?" Ginny asked.
"I can't. For some reason, our bodies go through excruciating stress, when we're apart from each other and only is mild when we're together.touching." Hermione explained.
"Why would that happen?" Ron asked.
Hermione shifted slightly, causing Draco's head to nuzzle her breast. She turned very red. "I-I think it's because of a spell, but I don't know who did it and which spell it is." She replied shakily.
"I don't either, but we'll figure it out for you." Harry stated, "Why don't you just shift his head a bit?"
Hermione agreed, "Good idea."
She quickly moved his head from in between her breasts. Draco drooled on the base of her neck causing Hermione to go a brighter red. "I wonder if I was this much trouble t him." She commented.
Draco re-snuggled into her chest, a content look on his face. "Mmmm" He mumbled.
Ginny giggled and Hermione shot her a death-glare. "Oh yeah, one question. How did I get these injuries anyway?" She asked.
"We don't know, but we know how the rumor about you and Draco in love started." Harry replied.
Hermione sat up suddenly, more straight. Draco's arms tightened around her. "Can't.breathe." She gasped.
Remembering what happened before, she gently brushed his hair with her fingers. Like before, his grip loosened slightly. Smiling in relief, she asked, "What rumor?"
"That first year, Melissa, said that Snape was going hysterical calling himself a great voice-impersonator." Harry replied.
"I'm going to kill him when I get out." Hermione vowed, "So, is that my homework?"
"Yours and Malfoy's." Ron replied.
After awhile, Harry, Ron and Ginny left and Malfoy woke up.
***
Draco woke up on something warm and soft. Smiling, he put his hand on his pillow and closed his eyes again, oblivious to his surroundings. Oblivious until a voice gasped in a high-pitched tone, "Um, Malfoy? Are you awake? Can you um, move your hand away from my, well, you know?"
Draco decided to make Hermione even more uncomfortable. Smirking inwardly, he moved his other hand lower. Hearing Hermione gasp and stiffen, he continued. He shifted around until his lips were about an inch away from the base of her neck.
Hermione shifted. "Malfoy.Malfoy, um wake up." Hermione said softly, running her fingers through his hair.
Draco stiffened a slight bit. 'What's she doing?' He thought, 'better pretend to wake up now."
Draco stirred and pretended to groggily get up, his hands still where he left them. "Huh?" He asked.
"Glad you're awake, now get your hands off me!" Hermione ordered.
Draco pretended to be surprised as he looked up. Then he sneered, "You're lucky I'm even near you. This is the only time a decent pureblood will ever touch a pathetic mudblood like you."
He took his hands off and sat down beside her, their sides touching. That's when he noticed the huge pile of books, to his right. "It's our homework." Hermione replied, as if reading his mind.
He noticed another pile to the left, Hermione's pile. She seemed to be about halfway through finishing it. He frowned in disapproval at his pile. "When's it all due?" He asked.
"Some tomorrow, some in a week. It varies." Hermione replied, shrugging.
Draco nodded and didn't say anything to Hermione for awhile and both kept to themselves. Draco started doing his homework as well, but nearly fell asleep in his effort to read the textbook pages that Professor Vector had assigned. "Damn stupid arithmancy." Draco muttered to himself.
"What?! But arithmancy is so much fun!" Hermione exclaimed in disbelief as if an arithmancy-hater was impossible.
"Only to you Granger." Draco replied, rolling his eyes.
"I can help you if you want. I'm pretty much done everything except the last four inches of my ancient runes assignment." Hermione suggested.
"Uh...no." Draco retorted, "I don't need any help."
"You surprise me. You strike me as the type of person who copies and mooches off others." Hermione commented.
"Well, I don't." Draco replied coldly, turning back to his book.
At that moment, the door burst open and in came Filch, Draco doll and all. Catching sight of Draco, he gasped in excitement (with a slight girly air) and rushed t him. "Oh Draco darling, are you okay honey?" He cried, "I've been so worried about you! You've been unconscious for like ever!"
Hermione snickered at the look of disgusted horror in Draco's eyes. She eyed the roughly hand-made Draco doll and large frame with a picture of Draco with Filch pasted beside him and cracked up laughing. Draco glared at Hermione. "This isn't funny, it's disgusting!" He hissed in her ear.
Hermione quieted down eventually. That's when she realized that Draco had his arms wrapped around her.
Filch came dashing up to Draco and hugged him. "I've missed you Drakey." He sighed.
"Well I don't love you idiot. Can't you see that I'm already seeing someone?" He snapped, his eyes displaying disgust and his face a mix between disgust, anger and slight worry.
"No you aren't! You love me!" Filch wailed.
What happened next was sudden and surprising to Hermione. Draco, in a flash had tilted her head up and lowered his head so their lips met.
"You two are faking!" Filch yelled.
Draco saw Hermione's eyes widen and flashed her a pleading look with his eyes. Hermione relaxed and closed her eyes, which Draco took as a yes. Draco pulled her body closer to his and deepened the kiss. He almost pulled away in surprise when Hermione responded.
***
Unfortunately for Draco and Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny had returned.this time with Hagrid as well. Snape also happened to be checking up.
"What are you doing her Snape?" Harry demanded, still oblivious to what was happening with his best friend and worst enemy.
"I'm here to deliver potions to Madame Pomfrey. But that's besides the point. Why are you four here?" Snape retorted smoothly.
"We're here to see Hermione." All four replied in unison.
Just then, Pansy Parkinson came in as well. "Is Drakey-poo alright?!" She wailed.
"Well why are we all standin her'?" Hagrid asked, "Let's visit them!"
"May I ask you something Professor Snape?" Ron broke in.
"No." He replied coldly.
Ron ignored Snape, "So, why'd you impersonate Hermione, Malfoy and Mr. Malfoy?"
Snape flushed, then regained his composure. "I did not." He hissed, walking away.
The tension eased visibly as Snape left.
"Now let's visit Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed.
Filch had just walked out clutching his Draco doll and portrait of Him and Draco.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and cracked up. Ginny and Pansy started giggling and Hagrid stated, "unhealthy obsession..."
After the five had calmed down, they entered the room which Draco and Hermione were occupying.
***
"I'm not convinced Draco dear." Filch stated, though his tone of voice was uncertain, "But I must leave now."
When he left, Draco and Hermione let out sighs of relief. Both were blushing and neither said a thing.
Then the door burst open with Pansy leading. Draco looked slightly alarmed and he re-attached his lips to Hermione. Hermione rolled her eyes and went back into Draco-kissing mode.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hagrid and Pansy's jaws dropped and all were rendered speechless.
Draco felt Hermione's lips part and he entered her mouth. Hermione gasped in surprise, eyes shooting open in surprise. Luckily, Draco was leaning over her, so no one noticed. Draco flashed her a warning look and she relaxed. Then Draco became surprised as opposed to Hermione when she started responding to Draco's exploring by starting to explore his mouth. It became a battle of tongues, both exploring every nook and cranny in the other's mouth.
Finally, Pansy burst into tears and fled.
Draco gave Hermione's lip a final nip and they broke apart. Draco suddenly paled and jolted upright and yelled after Pansy, "DON'T YOU DARE TELL MY FATHER ABOUT THIS OR I'LL KILL YOU! LITERALLY! AND I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE LIVING HELL!"
But Pansy hadn't heard. "DAMN!" Draco cursed. At this, he lifted Hermione off the bed and over his shoulder, then chased Pansy down the hall.
Ron, Harry, Hagrid and Ginny finally got over their shock and hurried after Malfoy.

"Yours and Malfoy's." Ron replied.
After awhile, Harry, Ron and Ginny left and Malfoy woke up.
***
Draco woke up on something warm and soft. Smiling, he put his hand on his pillow and closed his eyes again, oblivious to his surroundings. Oblivious until a voice gasped in a high-pitched tone, "Um, Malfoy? Are you awake? Can you um, move your hand away from my, well, you know?"
Draco decided to make Hermione even more uncomfortable. Smirking inwardly, he moved his other hand lower. Hearing Hermione gasp and stiffen, he continued. He shifted around until his lips were about an inch away from the base of her neck.
Hermione shifted. "Malfoy.Malfoy, um wake up." Hermione said softly, running her fingers through his hair.
Draco stiffened a slight bit. 'What's she doing?' He thought, 'better pretend to wake up now."
Draco stirred and pretended to groggily get up, his hands still where he left them. "Huh?" He asked.
"Glad you're awake, now get your hands off me!" Hermione ordered.
Draco pretended to be surprised as he looked up. Then he sneered, "You're lucky I'm even near you. This is the only time a decent pureblood will ever touch a pathetic mudblood like you."
He took his hands off and sat down beside her, their sides touching. That's when he noticed the huge pile of books, to his right. "It's our homework." Hermione replied, as if reading his mind.
He noticed another pile to the left, Hermione's pile. She seemed to be about halfway through finishing it. He frowned in disapproval at his pile. "When's it all due?" He asked.
"Some tomorrow, some in a week. It varies." Hermione replied, shrugging.
Draco nodded and didn't say anything to Hermione for awhile and both kept to themselves. Draco started doing his homework as well, but nearly fell asleep in his effort to read the textbook pages that Professor Vector had assigned. "Damn stupid arithmancy." Draco muttered to himself.
"What?! But arithmancy is so much fun!" Hermione exclaimed in disbelief as if an arithmancy-hater was impossible.
"Only to you Granger." Draco replied, rolling his eyes.
"I can help you if you want. I'm pretty much done everything except the last four inches of my ancient runes assignment." Hermione suggested.
"Uh...no." Draco retorted, "I don't need any help."
"You surprise me. You strike me as the type of person who copies and mooches off others." Hermione commented.
"Well, I don't." Draco replied coldly, turning back to his book.
At that moment, the door burst open and in came Filch, Draco doll and all. Catching sight of Draco, he gasped in excitement (with a slight girly air) and rushed t him. "Oh Draco darling, are you okay honey?" He cried, "I've been so worried about you! You've been unconscious for like ever!"
Hermione snickered at the look of disgusted horror in Draco's eyes. She eyed the roughly hand-made Draco doll and large frame with a picture of Draco with Filch pasted beside him and cracked up laughing. Draco glared at Hermione. "This isn't funny, it's disgusting!" He hissed in her ear.
Hermione quieted down eventually. That's when she realized that Draco had his arms wrapped around her.
Filch came dashing up to Draco and hugged him. "I've missed you Drakey." He sighed.
"Well I don't love you idiot. Can't you see that I'm already seeing someone?" He snapped, his eyes displaying disgust and his face a mix between disgust, anger and slight worry.
"No you aren't! You love me!" Filch wailed.
What happened next was sudden and surprising to Hermione. Draco, in a flash had tilted her head up and lowered his head so their lips met.
"You two are faking!" Filch yelled.
Draco saw Hermione's eyes widen and flashed her a pleading look with his eyes. Hermione relaxed and closed her eyes, which Draco took as a yes. Draco pulled her body closer to his and deepened the kiss. He almost pulled away in surprise when Hermione responded.
***
Unfortunately for Draco and Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny had returned.this time with Hagrid as well. Snape also happened to be checking up.
"What are you doing her Snape?" Harry demanded, still oblivious to what was happening with his best friend and worst enemy.
"I'm here to deliver potions to Madame Pomfrey. But that's besides the point. Why are you four here?" Snape retorted smoothly.
"We're here to see Hermione." All four replied in unison.
Just then, Pansy Parkinson came in as well. "Is Drakey-poo alright?!" She wailed.
"Well why are we all standin her'?" Hagrid asked, "Let's visit them!"
"May I ask you something Professor Snape?" Ron broke in.
"No." He replied coldly.
Ron ignored Snape, "So, why'd you impersonate Hermione, Malfoy and Mr. Malfoy?"
Snape flushed, then regained his composure. "I did not." He hissed, walking away.
The tension eased visibly as Snape left.
"Now let's visit Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed.
Filch had just walked out clutching his Draco doll and portrait of Him and Draco.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and cracked up. Ginny and Pansy started giggling and Hagrid stated, "unhealthy obsession..."
After the five had calmed down, they entered the room which Draco and Hermione were occupying.
***
"I'm not convinced Draco dear." Filch stated, though his tone of voice was uncertain, "But I must leave now."
When he left, Draco and Hermione let out sighs of relief. Both were blushing and neither said a thing.
Then the door burst open with Pansy leading. Draco looked slightly alarmed and he re-attached his lips to Hermione. Hermione rolled her eyes and went back into Draco-kissing mode.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hagrid and Pansy's jaws dropped and all were rendered speechless.
Draco felt Hermione's lips part and he entered her mouth. Hermione gasped in surprise, eyes shooting open in surprise. Luckily, Draco was leaning over her, so no one noticed. Draco flashed her a warning look and she relaxed. Then Draco became surprised as opposed to Hermione when she started responding to Draco's exploring by starting to explore his mouth. It became a battle of tongues, both exploring every nook and cranny in the other's mouth.
Finally, Pansy burst into tears and fled.
Draco gave Hermione's lip a final nip and they broke apart. Draco suddenly paled and jolted upright and yelled after Pansy, "DON'T YOU DARE TELL MY FATHER ABOUT THIS OR I'LL KILL YOU! LITERALLY! AND I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE LIVING HELL!"
But Pansy hadn't heard. "DAMN!" Draco cursed. At this, he lifted Hermione off the bed and over his shoulder, then chased Pansy down the hall.
Ron, Harry, Hagrid and Ginny finally got over their shock and hurried after Malfoy.
