THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!

Chapter 6

Draco sat beneath a tree watching Hermione enter Hogwarts. He had just kissed her and she hadn't shoved him off as he had thought, she had kissed him back. What had started as a test for himself was developing into feelings fast.

Hermione checked the clock again it was ten o'clock and she had to meet Professor Sprout early for an extra curricular assignment. Hermione waited ten more minutes and then decided she had better go to bed.

Draco kept walking around the corridors until he thought Hermione would have gone to bed. It was eleven and Draco could feel his eyes closing slightly as the minutes ticked by. He decided he could go back to the room now.

Draco entered the common room and everything was quiet, Hermione had already went to bed and the fireplace had been dimmed so that there was just enough light for him to make it to his room without tripping over anything. Draco was sweaty from having worn his full robes all day and thought he needed a shower.
The only bathroom in the Head dorm was one between Hermione and Draco's bedroom. Draco slowly walked into his room and grabbed some pj's from his cabinet and then walked into the bathroom. Before he started his shower he wrapped himself ina towel and opened Hermione's door of the bathroom.

Hermione was sleeping lopsided in her queen sized bed. Her 'laptop' was sitting on the corner chair plugged into some socket like thing. Hermione snored slightly and then rolled onto her back. Draco froze thinking she had awoken, but the snoring continued and he grinned turning the door hande to close it again.

Draco had his shower and then finished his preparations for bed. He thought he could have maybe one last peek at Hermione so he opened her door to hear only silence. He opened it a bit farther so he could see if she was there. No one.

Draco shrugged and walked to his room touselling his hair with the towel. He was a bit hungry since he had decided to leave dinner early so he went downstairs into the kitchen.

Hermione sat at a table talking with a small elf who had prepared a sandwhich for her. She heard a door open and continued eating. The elf whose name was Marrel said something and Hermione turned to see who she was talking to. Draco stood at the door and saw a familiar blob of messy hair sitting with their back towards him.

"Draco?" Hermione asked incrediously.

Draco gulped, she had called him by his actual name. "Hermione." Draco replied.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked as Draco walked over to where she was sitting and sat down next to her where Murrel had sat.

"I was hungry, since I cut dinner early." Hermione couldn't believe her eyes Draco was blushing!

"Oh yeah same..." Hermione said trying to hide her face with her hair.

"About earlier..." Draco started watching as the house elf made grilled cheese for him.

"Let's talk about that later." Hermione looked down at her plate and realized she had finished her sandwhich. She got up to leave.

"Can you wait for me?" Draco asked surprised by himself.

"Uhh... sure." Hermione sat back down and watched Draco eat.

Both of the Heads walked together back to their dorm. Draco walked closer to Hermione. When they were inside the dorm again, Hermione faced Draco with a warm smile.

"So are you wanting me to ask you to explain earlier?" Hermione asked sitting down on the couch and tapping the cushion next to her.
