Chapter Three:
Sugar Rush
Hermione came back to the Heads Common Room after lunch. She had told Malfoy that she would check on the room as soon as she could and that was exactly what she intended on doing.
She walked into the common room and was happy to see that it was indeed once again spotless. "Hah, hah" she thought, "I finally got Malfoy scared and guess what he actually listened, hah, hah".
She walked over to the sofa and gently laid her bag upon it. Before lunch had been her last class for the day and truthfully he was utterly exhausted. This year she was taken a lot of classes and along with that she had to do the Heads duties which Malfoy hardly helped with. When all these things were put together she just found herself utterly exhausted devoid of all strength.
She started thinking about everything going on in her life. Lately things had become so complicated. Last summer shortly after the war had ended Ron had asked her out but unfortunately her feelings for him had already come and go. Truthfully she had once had a crush on him but this was way back in fourth year. Now shed already overcome it and no longer held those types of feelings for him. "Poor Ron" she thought "If only he'd asked a bit earlier".
On top of this her family was currently undergoing its own problems. Her grandmother who she had been quite close to all throughout childhood and even now had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctors said that she had only a few months to live. Hermione didn't know what to do. This was her Granny. She was the only one besides her parents who hadn't treated her differently after finding out she was a witch. Instead of ignoring that part of her she had asked Hermione all about magic and genuinely seemed interested. She was her best friend, a person whom she loved with all her heart and would do anything for.
That summer when Hermione had found out she had immediately owled Dumbledore asking him if there were any known cures for cancer and to her dismay he had owled her back with a note of apology saying that though cancer was quite uncommon in wizards they had still been unable to find a cure. It seemed to her that cancer was one of the mysteries of the world. Something that held no cure or answer. But more so cancer was "that sickness", she didn't even want to say the name because she thought it so dreadful.
And as Hermione sat there her troubles running over and over in her mind sleep overcame her and she collapsed gracefully against the sofas cushions her breaths coming out in even terminals as if the air were singing a song.

Draco walked into the common room in a fit of rage. Why did life have to be so damn complicated. Why did he have to act like someone who hated when truthfully he was a totally different person inside.
He had just made yet another little girl cry. He could still se it so clearly. Him and his friends had sat there laughing at her after she had fallen down the steps spilling a bunch of ink and other things. The small girl looked up horrified as she heard the laughter around her. Instead of helping the girl they had all just sat there pointing at her and laughing there asses off. This tore him apart. The girl was small, probably a first year. And now she was probably locked in her dorm crying her little eyes out. The girl didn't deserve this but no that's what Draco Malfoy did, he tormented all those around him for the sake of his own pleasure.
Suddenly all thoughts in Dracos head stopped for in front of him lay a vision of pure beauty. There lay Hermione. It appeared that she had fallen asleep on the couch.
Draco stared at her his breath caught up in his throat. She looked like a goddess lying on a soft bed of clouds. Suddenly he found himself walking towards her. He finally stopped when he was but a foot away from her.
He couldn't help himself. He bent down and softly kissed he cheek. She moved her head slightly but still seemed to remain sleeping. He just looked down at her with a look of love in his eyes and smiled. She was the one who kept him alive. The one who gave him hope when he thought that there was none left. He loved her with all his heart and one day he'd tell her.
He then pulled himself away from her and walked to his room. He reached into his bedside draw and pulled out his C.D. player and pressed the play button. He then laid himself down on his bed and closed his eyes instead focusing on the music that was now flowing through his ears.
I get a high whenever your around
Sweeping from my head to my toes
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
Cuz you make me go out of my way
Crossing the line
Making me say
What I had in my mind
You make me so excited
And I don't want to hide it
I start to blush
You are my sugar rush
Ain't nothing better baby
Is it for real or maybe
I start to blush you are my sugar rush
Draco sat on his bed and was finding it really hard to keep the image of a certain goddess lying downstairs out of his mind. She was irresistible to him. He still couldn't believe what he'd done. The most he could come up with is that he'd given into lust.
I got a sweet tooth and a taste for you
And it might be too obvious
I cant help myself from what I do
Cuz you make me go out of my way
Crossing the line
Making me say
What I had in mind
You make me so excited
And I don't want to fight it
I start to blush
You are my sugar rush
Aint nothing better baby
Is it for real or maybe
I start to blush
You are my sugar rush
He couldn't help the feeling that was currently residing in his stomach. The feeling of butterflies flying all around his stomach. He had never felt this way before and this was undoubtedly do to her. He aroused something within him that he'd never knew existed. He opened up his heart to love. She might not have known it but she was the one who gave him his strength to carry on. The one who whenever near sparked something in his usually cold heart. She made him feel.
Baby you're my sugar rush
I get weak and talk to much
You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Baby you're my sugar rush
I get weak and talk to much
Cuz you make me go out of my way
Crossing the line
Making me say
What I had in mind
You make me so excited
And I don't want to fight it
I start to blush
You are my sugar rush
Ain't nothing better baby
Is it for real or maybe
I start to blush
You are my sugar rush
Baby you're my sugar rush
I get weak and talk to much
You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Baby you're my sugar rush
I get weak and talk to much
You are my sugar rush
She was what made him go on. It was her memory he fed on in times of need. She was the one that made his heart start beating at top speed when she walked in the room. There was no other way to explain it. She was his sugar rush.

Ginny walked into the Heads Common Room to find Hermione fast asleep on the sofa. "Poor girl" she thought "She's been overworking herself lately. I wish that I could let her sleep but Dumbledore said to get her now".
She walked over to Hermione and tapped her gently. Nothing. She tapped her again. Nothing. "Hermione" she called "Get up sleepy head". Again no movement. A smirk slowly began to form across Ginny's face. "Hermione" she called " Your potions homework is on fire".
Suddenly Hermione got up with a start. "What, Where, How" suddenly she saw the amused look on Ginny's face. "I'm gonna kill you, just you wait".
Ginny immediately jumped to defend herself "Hey, its not my fault, you weren't getting up". "Ugh" replied Hermione, "Why'd you wake me up anyway?"
"Oh" said Ginny. "Dumbledore called me to his office and asked me to come get you now".
"What?" exclaimed Hermione, "He called me to his office and your only telling me now, come on lets go".
And with that Hermione got up off the sofa with all thoughts of sleep off her mind. She then made her way along with Ginny to the portrait hole and stepped out of it and started down the hall towards the headmasters office.
