The next morning Hermione woke to a knock at her door. He struggled out of bed and stood. She was unable to stand straight due to the lack of sleep in a very uncomfortable position. She unhappily made her way to the door and struggled to open her eyes as she opened the door.

"yes!" she felt very embarrassed as she looked up and saw who stood in front of her.

"oh excuse me Ddumbledore, um I didn't no it was you I thought it was someone ……."

With a twinkle in his eye he looked at her "oh quite all right, quite all right!" he was beaming down at her and smiling sweetly. "well miss. Granger there was something I wanted to talk to you about. I am assuming that you have already noticed that young Mr. Malfoy is also staying here at the house for the rest of the summer. Well now I understand that you and Mr. Malfoy have had you differences in the past but now that he has come to our side I would love if you would make the effort to be kind to Mr. Malfoy and for a friendship with him. Who knows maybe more huh?

She looked at him with a shocked look on her face. "ummm I suppose so I mean it wouldn't hurt to try. Anything to help you and the order."

"well excellent then" he was smiling even wider now. "well I know that you letters from Hogwarts haven come yet. I have decided to drop them off seeing that im already here! Kill to birds with one stone I always say! Well here you are."

He handed her long awaited Hogwarts acceptance letter that she had been waiting for all summer. she saw that it was in a bigger envelope then usual. She enthusiastically ripped the package open. She looked at the letter and her eyes drifted over it more than one time. She looked up at him with a excited smile on her face and a tear in her eye.

"oh Professor! Thank you so much! I cant believe it! Who is the head boy. Harry or ron?"

"well I thought about them but then I decided to go for the boy with equal grades and brains as you my dear. To heads are better than one especially when both are quite smart! So I decided to give it to Draco." Her face suddenly dropped. "now I am aware you have had you differences in the past but I do believe you are the girl that can bring him around. I am assuming that you also know that now that Mr. Malfoy is on our side he can not risk living in the Slytherin dorms. He will most likely be totally exiled from them. So then now that you are fully aware of the situation at hand I am assuming you understand and agree with my decision of asking you to be friends with Draco. I also understand that Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter are not going to like this but you always set at good example to there stubbornness and eventually convince them to be friends with draco as well. Well now that will be all. Oh and brfor I forget here take Dracos letter to him please."

And with that he gave her a smile and a nod and with a blink of and eye he was gone.

Hermione stood for a while comprehending everything that had jus happened. She now had the task at hand of befriending Malfoy her sworn enemy. Then again that might not be such a bad thing after all that had happened over the week and she did have to admit to herself that she felt a strong attraction and bond towards him. Well since she was put into this situation she decided to make the best of it.

Draco awoke from a peaceful sleep with a grin on his face he felt happy for the first time in a long time. Suddenly his door opened. He looked up and for a second he thought he was dreaming. Standing ten feet away was the woman he had been dreaming about all night long. Hermione looked tired and sloppy but he thought she looked as beautiful as ever.

"Hi Mal.. I mean Draco." She looked like she was at a loss for words and he smiled. "umm well Dumbledore came by and dropped this off for you. Congratulations you as well as well as me have been appointed head boy and girl."

"Wonderful. Is that all?"

"Well ya… um that all I had to say" and with that she turned around but suddenly turned back. "actually wait I do have something to say. Draco I want us to be friends. It seams like we will be living together for a long time and well I want us to become close and be able to tell each other thing you no be close……."

He paused for a minute before speaking. "well Hermione I think that is a great idea."

"really." She sounded surprised that he had agreed.

"well ya. I really like you Hermione and I no its hard to believe considering our past but its true. And I was wondering if you would like to go with me tomorrow to Digon ally? I was hoping you would it could be a date." He suddenly looked very shy and vulnerable.

"Draco I think that would be very nice. Thank you."

"well great!" he stepped off his bed and walked over to her and placed his arms around her. He pulled her towards him. He stroked her back gently making little heart shaped designs with his fingertips. They stood there for a long time and she let him caress her back willingly. He started moving his hands up her back then softly over her neck to her face. He lifted her chin to his face and gently pressed his lips to hers. She let out a soft mone. She slightly opened her mouth just enough so his tongue slipped in. His tongue twirled with hers for a long time. Finally he pulled away both of them took a moment to catch there breaths.

"wow that was wonderful. Draco I really must go now though I don't think a trust myself with you." A little laugh escaped her lips.

"well I cant promise I can control myself around you so I think it would be best that you did go I think ill see you later. And were still on for tomorrow right?"

"Of course Draco absolutely." Well with that she gave him a hug and turned away. She turned her face back to him and gave him a seductive wink. "bye Draco."

All Draco could do was swallow. And she let out a little laught at his loss of words and walked away.

Wow this girl was really something else. He didn't understand what he felt towards her but he wasn't complaining he had never felt this way because of a female before. Now if only It were tomorrow…………….
