Hey there everyone! I haven't been able to update for a very long time, but I am here again! Please read and review!

Disclaimer: I was just about to say that I owned the characters of Harry potter when I saw J.K. Rowling marching towards me, therefore I shall confess, "I do not own Harry or his friends!"

Chapter 3

Draco stared up at the ceiling, letting his head hang. It caused him pain, but he did not care. He felt strange residing in Hermione's house. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected this. Draco looked around wearily. He was burning to get up and move about, but to do so seemed rude at this moment especially as he was sure Hermione's hospitality would not extend to letting him roam around freely in her house.

So, he stayed where he was and waited obediently.

Hermione returned not too long after to see Draco sitting where she had left him with his arms folded across his bare chest. She thought he looked like a boy sulking and smiled lightly at the thought. "I'm back!" she announced, placing the bags she had with her on the edge of the bed.

Draco looked up. Slightly abashed, he said, "Could I get my clothes now?"

Hermione nodded. "The order has been informed of your stay. They would be coming here in a short while to interrogate you."

Draco looked up abruptly. He shook his head slowly. "No-not yet…please…not yet. I don't think I can't take a dozen people interrogating me all of a sudden."

Hermione studied his face intently. He looked pitiful and she agreed. "I will do the interrogating then."

Draco hesitated before speaking. "Granger, can we not have the whole order involved in this? I need help, but can YOU do it?"

Hermione was confused. She did not know what to say. Was he trying to get her into trouble? "That depends on what assistance you need." She conceded sharply.

A/N: There, another chapter down! It wasn't too good, but hope you guys will forgive me because I haven't exactly had been working on this story much! Still, please review to tell me what you think!
