If I tried to save him my whole world would cave in…it just ain't right…it just ain't right.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked when Hermione when she returned to their compartment.
"I got head girl" Hermione said, not nearly as cheerfully as she should have.
"That's great!" Ron said beaming from ear to ear "I knew you would get it."
"I'm happy for you and everything Hermione but, shouldn't you be more excited about this?" Harry asked a confused look on his face.
"Guess whose head boy?" Hermione said
"NO!" Harry and Ron said in unison.
"Yeah…Malfoy the amazing bouncing ferret" Hermione replied rolling her eyes.
"The two of you will have to share a dorm!" Harry exclaimed.
"I know" Hermione sighed in frustration.
"What are you going to do?" Ron asked.
"What can I do?" Hermione asked shrugging her shoulders "I'm just going to have to get through the year…maybe we can just stay out of each others way" she said hopefully.
"We'll be here for you…you let us know if that pointed faced rat try's to do anything to you" Harry said in a very protecting manner.
"I will, but I can take care of myself. I know plenty of hexes and charms that I could put on him" Hermione said, an evil smile spreading across her face.
The rest of the ride to Hogwarts was tense. Hermione tried to get into conversations with Harry and Ron but her mind always shifted back to Draco. What was she going to do? How was she going to handle this? How was he going to handle this? She had to live in the same dorm with a guy that she had a one night stand with less than a month ago. It had happened right before school started. She hadn't only had a one night stand with him but she hated him too.
She was so spaced out during the rest of the ride there that it was very noticeable. Harry and Ron just thought it was because she was moving in with Draco and that was it but there was so much more that they didn't know. So much more that she couldn't tell them. This had never happened…she was always able to tell them everything. Did this mean she didn't trust them enough to tell them? She was second guessing everything now…even herself. 'Hermione you are so screwed up' she thought to herself.
When they go to Hogwarts Hermione had to say a quick goodbye to Harry and Ron then she and Draco had to go with Professor McGonagall to their dorm. She was dreading this so much. Professor McGonagall took them to a floor that they had never been to or even knew about. There was only one door and it lead to their dorm.
"Alright this is your dormitory; you will find that all of your things have been brought up. They are in your rooms. Miss Granger you're room is up the stairs at the left and Mr. Malfoy yours is up the staircase to the right. There is an adjoining bathroom; you can lock the doors so that you will not be disturbed when it is in use. Now I will leave you to unpack, get a good rest you have classes bright and early tomorrow." Then Professor McGonagall left the dorm and it was just Draco and Hermione.
Hermione went to her room with out saying a word to Draco. Her room was decorated in Gryffindor colors and she had her own fireplace. All of her things had been taken to her room, just as Professor McGonagall had said. She then opened the door to the adjoining bathroom. It was luxurious! It had a huge bathtub, the sinks and the toilet were gold and the mirror had a beautiful border around it. There was a towel rack on the wall and there were two different kinds of towels. One with the Gryffindor emblem and the other marked with the Slytherin emblem. Hermione didn't hear anything through the door to Draco's room so she thought maybe he went to the Great Hall. She left the bathroom and walked into the common room, and there he was. She didn't say anything; she just stood there, frozen.
"Well come on in Granger, I don't bite. Well actually I do…you should know that from our little get together" Draco said confidently from his seat on the couch.
"Malfoy if you even say one word about what happened I'll…" Hermione said walking over to Draco and boiling with anger.
"Or you'll what? Beg? Like you did that night" Draco said standing up in front of Hermione. He was at least a foot taller than her.
"That's not how it happened and you know it" Hermione said angrily.
"That's how I remember it" Draco replied.
"Oh well I'm sure it is since you think your some kind of living legend" Hermione exclaimed.
"I prefer a God…but whatever you want" Draco said walking past her.
"I hate you!" Hermione yelled at him but he paid her no mind…he just kept walking…and that hurt her. But why did it hurt her? She never cared if listened to her before, so why does she care now? She wanted his attention. She sat down heavily on the couch and thought back to that night at Hogsmeade. How did this really happen?
She had gone to Hogsmeade to the book store to find something else to read over the summer before school started. Surprisingly Draco was there…and he was there to actually find a book. He had looked so different at the book store than he had before. She wasn't aware of a side of him that liked to read. He looked so…peaceful for once…it was like he belonged there. He soon had gotten a book and sat down at a table to begin reading it before he bought it. Hermione found one that interested her so she grabbed it and sat down at a table beside Draco's.
The whole time she was reading her book she could feel his eyes boring into her with such heat and intensity that she couldn't help but look up. Sure enough he was looking at her…but not just at her. He was looking into her…almost through her. She did the same to him…for the first time in the seven years that she knew him she looked into his eyes. His cold grey eyes…but they weren't cold anymore and something inside of Hermione just went numb. Theses eyes….these incredible eyes….she couldn't stop looking into them. He didn't stop looking into hers either. Neither one of them had seen or known this side of each other before, and they were about to find out so much more.
Draco stood up from his table and put his book down and walked towards Hermione…never looking away from her eyes. She couldn't look away from his either.
"Let's go somewhere" he said
"Where?" she asked
"Anywhere" he replied
"What are we going to do?" she asked again
"Anything"
She wanted him. It's like he was a drug that she was addicted to….and she let him have all the power…she let him have complete control of her. She let him have everything.
It was now those same grey eyes that were haunting her now.
"I hate you….then why do I want you?"
