Chapter 15: First night back and Sleeping with the boys

The train ride to Hogwarts went smoothly as the golden trio had come up with a plan to keep Draco from marrying Pansy. And funny enough, there were no interruptions or any surprise visits from Malfoy the whole ride to school.

When they were seated at Gryffindor table, everyone had warmly greeted them. Dumbledore got up and did his usual speech and had announced to the whole school that Hermione and Draco were Head Boy and Head Girl, then the sorting did it's sorting. After they had eaten, Dumbledore had gotten up once more.

"I would like to warn all to watch ones self when roaming through the castle. Never go wandering on your own, my children. We are living in some dark times. I shall now bid you all a good night."

They left their tables and headed for their common rooms. Of course, Hermione had to stop by the Heads dorm first and check out her room. She had decided to stay the night in the Gryffindor common room with Harry and Ron. Besides, she didn't want to be in the way of an angry dragon.

The door to their common room was of a dragon and a dragon slayer. It was funny, Hermione looked at the picture and automatically thought of herself and Draco. Draco obviously being the dragon and Hermione being the dragon slayer. Only, she was trying to tame the dragon. "Unity." she said, the portrait opening for her. She walked into a large common room decorated in black. It was just a plain room with leather black furniture. A hearth facing the couch. A writing desk at the opposite end of the room. The other walls were covered in books. Hermione was in heaven.

Then, she caught sight of Draco sitting on the couch, looking into the fire. Her mood became sour and depressed. Slowly, she trudged up to her new room. It was beautiful. The room was charmed to change color to fit her mood. Black, because she was depressed and upset with Draco. And a fiery hot pink, for the passion she felt for him. "Wow!" she whispered. She looked around for a few minutes to make sure that everything was in place and unpacked. Then, she turned and left her room and headed straight for the common room door.

"Where are you going?" Draco asked.

"I'm going out." she stated expressionlessly. "Is that a problem?"

"Yes. I want you to stay here so we can talk."

"Don't you have a wedding to get ready for?" she asked coldly before heading out of the door not waiting to hear his response.

Hermione safely made it to Gryffindor tower without any trouble. As soon as she got up to the boys' dorms and opened the door. All of the boys were looking at Hermione. Some of them were still in the process of changing into their pajamas.

Seamus was the one to break the silence. "AH! There's a girl in our dorm and we're changing! No girls allowed!"

Hermione smirked. "And why are there no girls allowed?"

"Because, a girl could walk in at any minute and perhaps catch us in our nothings and she'll get a free shot of our manly bits! No girls! Now go away! We don't even know you!"

"Actually, Seamus, you do know me. And besides," her smirk widened. "it's nothing I haven't seen before."

"AH! It's Hermione!" Neville shouted.

"Hermione?" Seamus asked.

"In the flesh!" she smiled. "It's so great to see you guys."

"Great to see you too, Hermione." Neville and Dean said together.

"But what are you doing here?" Seamus asked.

"I decided to spend the night with my boys of course! Besides, you can't possibly expect me to stay in the same vicinity as Malfoy, now can you?"

"Merlin, no Hermione. Please stay as long as needed." Seamus said.

Hermione made herself right at home in Harry's bed. (NO! NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THEM!) Hermione figured that it would be just plain weird to share a bed with Ron since they just broke up. And sharing a bed with Harry means that she could be right there with him if he's talking in his sleep or if he's thrashing around in his sleep.

Harry climbed into bed facing Hermione. "Are you sure that you want to sleep here? You could always share a bed with Ron. Or you could sleep on the couch in the common room."

"Or I could share a bed with my secret lesbian lover in the girls dorms." Hermione added sarcastically.

"Haha, Hermione. Really funny." Harry said, placing his glasses on the side table.

"Well, goodnight boys." Hermione yawned.

"Goodnight, 'Mione." the five boys said together.

A/N: Don't worry, we'll get to the good stuff sooner or later! And I do realize this has to be my worst chapter yet.
