Chapter 4: Train Rides and Truth or Dare
Hermione stormed into her compartment, hoping to merlin that Draco would not follow. But oh how Merlin hated Hermione.
"Not so friendly today. A bit touchy about your boyfriend, Granger?"
"Sod off, Draco."
"Stop using my first name... it's bad for business." He said, no hint of threat in his voice this time around.
"Ok you two." Professor McGonagall came into their compartment, a little shocked at not seeing sparks fly. "I expect you two to uphold the upmost deep respect for each other. As of today, you are to forget what house you have been brought up to hate, and will be totally comitted to helping the other in all school functions. This includes being nice to each other!" She said this looking directly at Draco.
"Professor, what if she starts it?"
"I find it hard to believe Miss Granger would start a fight. Out of her six previous years, she has done nothing short of being a remarkable role model and peace keeper. If not for her, you and your posse along with her posse would have been expelled by now. She has kept her friends from fighting with your friends so many times, Mr. Malfoy and you are to show her the upmost respect. First rude comment to her from you, and you will be relieved from your duties as head boy. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, professor." Draco muttered something about unfair and not his fault she's how she is, pouting like a spoiled child.
"Now, please enjoy your ride to Hogwarts... and remember... respect." With that, the older witch stepped briskly out heading to the front of the train.
"So, Granger, now we have to tollerate each other. Hmm... this should be interesting."
"Go away, Draco."
"Now that was rude!"
"Don't toy with me."
"Or else what?"
"That's it!" Hermione threw up her hands in exasperation, stomping to a corner by the window. After curling herself up into a ball, she pulled out a muggle book titled Ella Enchanted and began to read.
"What are you reading?" Draco broke the silence after forty-five minutes of her silent reading.
"Something that wouldn't interest you."
"Come on, tell me!" Hermione looked up and was shocked to see that he looked just like a little child having a secret kept from him.
"It's called Ella Enchanted."
"I've never heard of it."
"Of course you wouldn't have, it's muggle literature. A beautiful story based off a muggle fairy tale written by Gail Carson Levine." Hermione stated, returning to her book.
"Oh... Hey! Letsdo something constructive. I'm bored!" Draco said, lightly poking her in the ribs. It astounded Hermione that he was this childish.
"Are you like this around your Slytherin buddies?"
"No way! I'd be disowned from the house! So, do you know any fun games?"
"Well, there's truth or dare, but it's not that fun without more people."
"Lets play."
"Ok, Truth or Dare, Draco?"
"Ummm... Truth."
"Is it true that you've shagged nearly all the girls in school?"
"No, I haven't ever had sex." Hermione looked taken aback by his answer but shrugged it off.
"Truth or Dare?" He seemed to like the game.
"Truth."
"Are you or have you ever dated Potty or Weaselbee?"
"No I have never dated them, they're like brothers. Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to apologize for being mean to me and my friends and promise to never be mean to us again or I get to shave your hair off." Draco immediately reached for his hair, his eyes as wide as a harvest moon. He shook his hair ferociously. "Too bad, you have to or your hair is gone." Hermione had an evil look on her face, she had finally gained the upper hand.
"Truth or Dare, Granger?"
"Dare me, sucker."
"I dare you to break up with Twin Weasel and date me."
Hermione had a blush flow across her face as she crawled over to Draco who now had the smug grin on his face. She came past his face to where her lips ever so lightly brushed against his ear, whispering two words.
"I'm sorry." She stood and went back to her corner to continue reading.
Why is my heart racing? I don't like mudblood that way. yes you do... it's why you pick on her... no! I hate her and her kind. No you don't, you were just being nice to her... no I hate her... you really love her deep down... no she's mudblood granger! I will never love her even if I did, I could have much better than her... but you haven't done anything with anyone, perhaps you were self consciencly saving yourself for her... But I'm raised to hate her... but you're not your father's puppet, spend more time with Hermione... but I'll be punished... But you're a Malfoy and Malfoys fear no one.
All the time Draco had this inner arguement, Hermione watched his expression, a light and cute flush across his cheeks. Is he in that much shock from what I did? Hermione questioned as the train pulled into Hogsmeade Station.

A/N: How'd you like it? You think Malfoy will follow his guide and spend time with Hermione? They have two weeks.
Amber is a Reddish Yellowy color maybe a few flecks of gold in it... it's really common with red haired people. And Hermione and Draco had to go to school two weeks in advance.

Chapter 5: Two Weeks of Laughter
This is a fun game! Draco called as he went between her legs to place his hand on a red dot.
Twister is a popular muggle game. Hermione commented, placing a leg between his.
"We gotta stop meeting like this, Granger." Draco said, his lips centimeters from hers, both breathing heavy.
