Confessions & Apologies(Not just in the chapter)

Hermione woke up and felt as though she were sleeping on a cloud, as her eyes opened slowly and she became fully awake,

her brain was not quite awake yet. Because when she opened her eyes she looked around the room and the wall's where forest

green with silver tapestries. She frowned and thought to herself 'Since when did i paint my room green?' She sat up and found

that she was sitting silk sheets, silver of course, and the pillow cases, also silk, where green.

She heard soft snoring to her to the left of the bed, and slowly crawled over to look just beyond the edge to see,

Draco Malfoy, Prince of Slytherins sleeping on the floor. She just about screamed when her brain finally woke up in full force.

Meaning that she realized that she wasn't in her room at all, as memorys of the previous night flooded her brain she calmed

down, suddenly touched by his kindness. 'He took me back to Hogwarts, he let me sleep in his bed and he on the floor.

I guess theres more to people then meets the eye.' Hermione slowly slid off his bed and quietly stepped over him.

She found a pen which was silver with green ink 'Once a Slytherin, always a Slytherin' Hermione thought chuckling to herself

quietly. She began to write on the short piece of parchment;

Dear Draco,

I want to thank you for bringing me back last night, also thank you

for the use of your bed, im terribly sorry for taking it from you.

In any event I would like to thank you in person, I am indebted to you

I owe you one...

Yours Truly,

Hermione Lin Granger

Finishing her note she put it in an envelope, sealed it, and pointed her wand at it and spoke a simple incantation,

"Symnolium." As she spoke the word her family crest apeared on the back, and she set it on his pillow. As she

walked past Draco she realized that it was freezing in the room, she tip-toed back toward the bed and tried to

pull the blanket but it wouldn't come off. She began to mutter things under her breath as she pulled "No good...

stupid...stuck up... Malfoy blanket...Even household items have an attitude!" She realized she was near to a point

of screaming and quieted herself down. It didn't take but a minute to get her brain working again. She smiled

slightly and took out her wand and whispered "florei" with in no more time than a blink of the eye a blanket appeared.

It was a blood red blanket with gold lace sewed along the edge, with her initials H L G sewn into the crest of the

Gryffindor just above the lion. She smiled to herself as the thought of Draco waking up rapped up in Hermione's, and

red & gold Gryffindor blanket, none the less. She laid it on top of him and jumped a little in surprise when he inhaled

the scent of it and snuggled himself deeper into the blanket. She smiled slightly and her heart melted a little, she

snapped herself out of it and tip-toed to the door, taking one last glance at him she slipped out and ran toward's

the Great Hall.

She found Kaya and slid gracefully into a seat next ot her, eating a coffee-dunked-doughnut as she went, Kaya squieled

in surprise. "Where were you last night? You just disappeared into thin air." Hermione's brain froze, she couldn't tell her that

she spent the night in Draco Malfoy's ROOM! Hermione didn't want to lie though. She grabbed Kaya's hand and jerked her

toward the exit and dragged her dangerously close to the whomping willow knowing that anyone who wanted to eavesdrop

would find that they had a change of heart on the matter. "Okay Lin spill, whats this all about?" Hermione grabbed her by the

shirt collar and pulled her close as explained everything, Kayanne's eyes widened with every passing second.

Kayanne opened her mouth "You...Dance...WITH HIM? Oh man, Lin, you sure have got yourself into a mess this time!"

Hermione frowned "What do you mean?"

Kaya rolled her eyes "Harry! Ron! You know the other three quarters of the Golden Trio. The lackeys, the best friends, the...ummm

loveable-protective-brother-adopted-seperated at birth-brothers..." And she would have continued too, that is if Hermione hadn't

slapped a hand over her mouth telling her to shush.

"I get it okay?I get it. And further more Im not going to tell Harry and Ron, and..Neither. Are. You. Got it?"Kaya looked skeptical.

"You shouldn't lie to them." Kaya said in a low voice.

"What they don't know won't hurt them, or Draco for that matter." Hermione said simply, smiling.

------------Draco's POV-----------

He groaned and his back was stiff but he was warm and the scent of Jasmine's. 'Wait a minute.' he thought, his brain not

quite awake, like Hermione's was at first, 'Since when does my room smell like Jasmine?' He bolted up right as the rush of last night's

memories came flooding back to him, he instinctivly looked towards the bed to see it empty. He tried to stand only to be pulled to the floor

by a blanket, he stumbled and looked to see what happened, his temper rising. It dissipated as he realized it was a Gryffindor blanket

which he would have been furious, provided of course he didn't realize the intials H L G at the top. He picked up the blanket and inhaled,

it smelled like Jasmine, no, it smelled like her. But he had an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach, like he didn't feel the same about her

that he had last night but differant all the same. He didn't feel...obsessed about her like he had last night but he felt friendship, trust, or

something of the like. He got up, still holding the blanket against his chest welcoming the scent and warmth of the blanket.

He noticed the note on his bed and smiled, a true genuine smile as he read it. He got dressed in his usual, Slytherin princely attire.

Draco took a breath and walked out the door heading to Gryffindor Tower.

----------------Hermione's POV----------------

Hermione and Kaya walked next to eachother back to Gryffindor Tower when she was approached by Neville, he looked up at her with a

saddened face. "Im really, really, REALLY, sorry Hermione. I..I..I ddd..didn't mean to bbb...but they dared me. Im SO sorry Hermione."

Hermione turned to look at him, frowning she spoke up "What are you talking about?"

Neville shook his head "I was dared to umm...sorta put umm... a love potion in yours and DDD..Draco Malfoy's pumpkin juice. It should have

worn off by now though." Hermione opened and closed her mouth and walked away towards Gryffindor tower in a daze.

Okay sorry everyone my great aunt Lacey died and Im way up in Minnesota with the rest of my family. Anyway I hope this answers some

questions. This is NOT the end of the story, even though i kinda sorta backed myself into a corner here.

Yours Truly,
