The students had arrived at Hogwarts on a Friday so they didn't have classes for a few days. Hermione and Draco spent most of Saturday making schedules for patrols and bonding in their common room. Hermione was still a bit skeptical of Draco, worrying that him being nice to her was all some kind of trick, but as she spent the day with him he seemed quite sincere. He never insulted her, he didn't give her dirty looks like he use to, and he even smiled around her. She couldn't think of any other time she had seen him with a smile on his face.
On Sunday she made her way down to the Gryffindor common room to meet up Ron, Harry, and Ginny. They talked more about their summers, how much they had missed seeing Hermione while she was away on vacation for the summer. She didn't want to bring up her new friendship with Draco just yet because she was worried about how the boys would react. She thought that Ginny might understand and she made a mental note to talk to Ginny alone about it later.
After talking with her friends for a few hours Hermione made her way back to the heads common room. As she entered she saw Draco standing there shirtless and sweaty, he had obviously just gotten back from flying. Although the quidditch season didn't start for a few more months he must want to get an early start on practice. Hermione hadn't realized that she was still staring at the shirtless Draco standing in front of her until he spoke, "Staring at me again are we Granger" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Hermione's face turned red as she turned and walked into her room. As she closed the door behind her she leaned back against the door and let out a deep sigh. God, why does he have to be so sexy she thought as she stood there replaying the image of his thick muscular arms and perfectly sculpted abs.
Hermione met with Ginny in the library so she could discuss everything that had happened with Draco. "I don't know why he's being so nice. Maybe he's planning something" Hermione said. "People can change, maybe he really just wants to be friends." Ginny responded. Hermione thought about it and maybe Ginny was right. She also told Ginny about how she walked in on him shirtless. Ginny noticed Hermione starting to get lost in thought as she described seeing Draco shirtless, "I think someone has a crush" she said mockingly, "What! No, I do not have a crush on him" Hermione replied, turning red in the face. "But you have to admit he is hot" Ginny said with a smirk. Hermione couldn't deny that, he certainly was hot.
After Hermione finished talking with Ginny she made her way back to her room for the night. She laid in bed struggling to fall asleep. She couldn't get the image of Draco out of her mind, as she thought about it more she started to feel herself becoming more and more aroused. With one hand she slowly reached down and began to massage her pussy through her knickers and with the other she fondled one of her breasts through her tank top. She pictured Draco's strong muscular arms holding her close as he fucked her gently before becoming rougher and rougher. Hermione had heard rumors about how well endowed Draco was and she couldn't help but imagine his large member stretching her out. She continued to masturbate thinking of Draco for a while before she felt herself reach her climax, she had to stop herself from screaming out his name as she came.
She laid in bed for a while after that contemplating what she had done. I can't believe I just got off thinking about Malfoy! she thought to herself Maybe Ginny was right maybe I do have a crush on him.
Hermione made sure to wake up early on Monday morning. She didn't have any classes until 9 but she want to beat Draco into the bathroom and have time to eat breakfast with her friends, so she woke up at 5 in the morning. She had been in the shower for a while when she heard a knock on the bathroom door. "Granger, what's taking you so long" she heard Draco yell "There are other people that need to use the bathroom too" Hermione came out of the bathroom just a few minutes later with just a towel wrapped around herself. Draco was laying on the couch reading the Daily Prophet, he looked up from the paper when he heard the door open and made eye contact with Hermione. She blushed thinking about what she had done the night before and hurried up into her room to get dressed.
Hermione couldn't stop thinking about Draco as she ate her breakfast, she kept glancing over to the Slytherin table hoping to catch a peek of Draco. "Looking for your boyfriend" Ginny whispered sarcastically to her. "He's not my boyfriend" Hermione shot back "and keep quiet before someone hears you talking about it" Hermione was scheduled to patrol with Draco that night and she spent most of the day wondering how she could face him after what she did last night. The time finally came for them to start their patrols, Hermione descended down the stairs from her room, Draco was already in the common room waiting for her. "It's about bloody time," he said "I've been waiting for over ten minutes."
As Hermione and Draco patrolled the halls together Hermione kept thinking about that night. She was ashamed for thinking such things about one of her worst enemies and felt as though she was betraying Harry and Ron but at the same time something about Draco seemed different, he truly seemed like he had changed a lot over the summer. He had apologized to her for all the name calling and taunting he use to do, and he had made an effort to be friendly to her, but was an apology really enough to forgive the six years of torment she and her friends had to put up with because of him. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard what sounded like two people talking to each other. "Did you hear that?" she asked Draco "Yeah it sounded like it came from that broom cupboard over there" he responded. They slowly made their way over to the door. Draco grabbed the doorknob and threw the door open. Neither of them could believe what they saw on the other side of the door.
