Chapter 4 – Decisions

Both Draco and Hermonie heard the buzzing in the Great Hall from the outside. Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape were with them, their faces showing no expression.

"As Head Boy and Girl you two will have the duty of assigning roles to the Prefects and manage all activities," Dumbledore began

"I know it is an awkward pairing, I don't like it much myself either, but we choose both of you for a reason," Snape spat.

"After all, both Professor McGonagall and I were Head Boy and Girl when we were your age," Dumbledore replied plainly. (A/N: I know that they are different ages, but let's just pretend and use your imagination)

"That's irrelevant Albus. We chose both of you because you two know the castle and the rules well, are educated and passing in all subjects and is to be believed a role model for our younger students," Professor McGonagall added quickly before Dumbledore could say anymore, cheeks in a fierce red color.

"Now, let's not waste any time. Your rooms are in the 3rd floor with the knight and shining armor portrait. Your password is black lilacs and here is my password to my office," Dumbledore replied, handing Malfoy a piece of parchment that had the words candy snappers.

"Dinner is upstairs in your rooms, prepared by the elves," Professor Snape said.

As they (as in Hermonie and Draco) walked up toward the room Hermonie added a reminder to the teachers to say, "Please thank the elves for me!" Draco just rolled his eyes and continued up the marble steps. When they finally reached the knight and shining armor portrait both said in unison "Black lilacs," The portrait swung open revealing a narrow passageway made of stone.

"Accio trunks," Hermonie chanted and her trunks lifted and followed her in.

When they entered there were maroon parallel couches with small silver pillows and dark green curtains with hints of gold. As you went in more, you saw the bathroom on the right and 2 twin beds. One of the beds had green and silver blankets, the other red and gold.

"Here's the dinner," Hermonie called to Draco. The glass table was covered with pumpkin juice, chicken, beets, and other different kinds of dishes.

"Finally, I'm starved," Draco replied and headed over.

Dinner was quiet for the most part except for a few "ferrets" and "mudblood" out of each other's mouth.

"It's so late, I'd better take a shower," Draco said after dinner, sitting on his bed and headed toward the bathroom. Little did he know, Hermonie was there too, asleep in the tub.

"Bloody hell Granger! Put some clothes on!" Draco cried when he went in.

Opening her eyes, she saw that Malfoy was standing right before her.

"Ahhh! Get out! She screamed.

"Sorry Granger, but you could have at least told me you were going to be there!" he cried out, not taking his eyes off.

"Cover it! Cover your eyes I'm getting out," she stated. He smiled and just stood there, eyes open and all. "What are you doing? Leave for pete's sake!" she cried.

"No, why should I?"

"Because that's what people do when they walk in on someone talking a bath. Try and state the obvious," Hermonie stated.

"Well, I'm not like other people now am I Granger?" Malfoy replied back.

"Fine, then I won't get out," Hermonie said plainly, folding her arms.

"Okay, I don't mind. In fact…" he took off his shirt, revealing the whole half of his muscular body. "I'll take a shower," he answered.

Shocked, Hermonie thought about what she would do. If I get out now, he'll see everything! But if I wait until he finishes, I'll see him naked. Oh, what shall I do? Why does he have to make everything so complicated?

"So what's deal?" he asked.

"Why do you make everything so complex?" Hermonie asked.

"Why are you always getting off the topic Granger?" Malfoy replied, still smiling.

"I don't want to see you naked!" Hermonie exclaimed.

"Then get out! What are you so – ohhh, I see, Grangers still a little virgin," he said, smirking.

"What? How did you?" she couldn't continue, mouth open.

"You see Granger, I have been blessed with a certain gift," Malfoy said, in a voice that mimicked a scientist.

"So what if I'm still a virgin? Lots of people are,"

"Oh? Really? Like who?"

"Like Ron and –"But before Hermonie could continue Malfoy cried out.

"Ah! So Weasel's one too eh? I knew it. He never acted like the other guys," Draco cried out.

"What are you talking about? What about Harry and" but unfortunately, Draco interrupted again.

"Oh, Potty's been crazy ever since that scar was on his head. How can he count?" he asked.

"What? Harry's not crazy! He is in fact a very nice person," Hermonie replied.

"Okay and that is relevant how?"

"Okay, I've made up my choice,"

"Really?" Malfoy said, folding his arms, listening. "And what might that be?" he asked.

"You go ahead and take a shower. While you're doing that, I'll get out and change outside. And don't you dare come out or I will beat the shit out of you!" she warned. "Sound good?"

"Sure, whatever you say. But just what makes you think that I want to see you naked anyway?"

"I don't know. Why else would you purposely not look away?" she answered with a smile.

"Maybe I was just playing tricks on you,"

"Maybe so. And maybe not. Just get on with it," Hermonie said, shielding her eyes with her wet hands.

Covering her eyes, Draco got in and once she had heard the water turn on, she rapidly wrapped herself in the light pink bath towel and headed outside.

In the middle of putting on her pajamas she heard, "Too bad I missed it all right?" She turned around and saw that Draco was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. Turning around, Hermonie said, "Well, I think that was the disadvantage for you now wasn't it?" she said bravely.

"Maybe it was," he replied, and they went their separate ways for the rest of the night.

Wow, that was an out of the ordinary night. Hermonie thought to herself, laying on her bed.

Maybe it was too bad I missed it. Draco thought silently to himself.
