A/N: Thank you to all who have reviewed so far!!

"Ginny?" answered Harry in shock. Ginny was dumbfounded and could only stare at the boy wonder she had practically stalked as a youth. "What are you doing here?" She shook her head now realizing she must've looked like an idiot and snapped back to reality.

"Hermione and I switched houses for the break." she explained and Harry gave her a confused look. "It's a long story. Is it urgent that you see her?"

"No, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I would pop by." he said and then an awkward moment came over them. Then she realized,

Harry Potter. Harry freaking Potter was at her door step and she hadn't seen him in three years. What the hell was she doing just standing there?!

"Would you like to come in?" she asked, noticing the temperature was actually quite cold. Harry nodded and Ginny stepped aside for him to come inside. "Do you want some tea?"

"Sure." he answered and then Ginny realized that she have no idea where the kitchen was. She hadn't bothered to actually check out any of the house except the room she had popped up in. Harry seemed to sense her distress and chuckled. "Need some help?" Ginny smiled sheepishly.

"Uh, it seems I do. I just got here and I was going to actually sleep when you knocked." she explained.

"Oh! I'm sorry, if you want me to leave-" Harry started but Ginny hushed him.

"I asked you to come inside didn't I?" she said with a smile. "Now which way is the kitchen?"

Hermione on the other hand was debating whether to go outside and pick up the newspaper that she had noticed Ginny hadn't picked up this morning. She was debating because she had changed into her pajamas early and she had nothing else to do. So why not read the newspaper? Yet she was terrified someone would see her even though she had a robe on. Finally resolving that she would run as fast as humanly possible, she counted to three and then whipped open the door and made a run for it. She had picked the paper up when she heard,

"Nice pajamas there Granger." Draco snickered. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned in the direction of his voice. He was smirking once again, and leaning against the doorframe of his house.

"Thanks!" she said sarcastically, desperately wanting to go inside where it was warm. Also she didn't want to endure the taunting she knew would be coming from him. She turned around and started to walk back to the house when she heard him call back

"Your welcome!" he paused and she glared at him. "What? It's a compliment!"

"You giving out compliments to me? Pfft! Now if you will excuse me, I have some reading to do." and she once again started for the house and once again he said something.

"And what will you be reading Granger?" She groaned and turned in his direction again.

"The newspaper, if you must know."

"Really, now? I didn't get one, can I borrow it?" She gave him an annoyed look but still tried to remain calm.

"Sure, Malfoy. After I'm done with it."

"Actually I was thinking more of I get it now and then you read it later."

"Are you kidding me?!" she also screamed in frustration. Her feet were numb, she was in public in her pajamas and robe, and her childhood enemy was loving every minute of it. "Hell no."

"Oh Granger cursing! Now that is an event." Hermione huffed and crossed her arms in an attempt to keep warm.

"I'm not going over there, if you want this paper so badly your going to have to come and get it. And I will be in the house." she snapped back and ran back to the house. Unfortunately for her as she was entering the house, she saw a figure beside her. Sure enough it was Draco and she was in shock.

"How...how did you get here so fast?" he smirked.

"Thought you would know this one Granger, magic."

"I can't believe it's you, I haven't seen you in what? Three years?" Harry commented as he and Ginny were sitting on the couch with their newly made hot chocolate. Ginny nodded.

"That sounds about right."

"What have you been doing?" he asked.

"I went to Italy, Spain, and France after school ended and spent some time there. Settled back here, outside of town and I help out with Fred and George's shop. I come up with antidotes to various things they sell."

"Wow." he said, clearly impressed. "I would kill to go to any one of those countries." he mentioned.

"Graduation present." she explained. "It was amazing, I was basically backpacking the whole time for almost a year. I met some of the best people really, I still talk with some of them today. But I do enjoy having the inside scoop to Fred and George's creations. I owl Hagrid when they come up with anything too terrifying so he can be on the lookout at Hogwarts." she said, now grinning.

"You still talk to Hagrid?" he asked, surprised.

"Of course! When you, Ron, and Hermione left there weren't many people I could talk to. Do you talk to him?" Harry paused.

"Sometimes, I don't as much as I should, I admit." she nodded.

"Enough about me, what have you been doing?"

"I'm going to be a student teacher at Hogwarts for a semester and then I'll be able to teach for real probably sometime next year."

"Oh really? I always saw you as a teacher! Do you know what you want to teach?" she asked.

"Probably Defense Against the Dark Arts." he said and Ginny smiled.

"I should've known."

"Did you and I think it was, Dean?" he took a moment then continued, "Yeah it was him, did you two stay together?" Harry asked and it took Ginny aback. Ginny and Dean had gotten back together for a brief time back when the trio had graduated but she had quickly let him go when it clear they wanted different things at that point in their lives. She was surprised he had remembered that.

"No, I'm actually single right now." she mentioned, blushing a bit. "Yourself?"

"Nope, I'm single as well." she nodded, trying to not be secretly pleased with this fact. Sure she was practically in love with Harry when she was younger but she was an adult now, she couldn't possibly still have feelings for him... He seemed a little flustered and when he offered to get more hot chocolate she didn't stop him. But when she saw Harry through the kitchen doorway, moving around the kitchen like he owned it she felt a flutter of butterflies. A warning flag went off in her head when he returned to the couch. As he was giving her a cup, their hands brushed against each other. Ginny felt sparks go off and then she realized then and there, she was in deep, deep trouble

This is very weird Hermione thought as she had the sight of Draco Malfoy reading the newspaper on Ginny's couch. This was all too much, too fast and most of all it was all too weird! What were the chances of switching houses with your best friend for just a holiday and finding your arch enemy lives next door? Very slim she answered herself as she sipped her tea. She finally had had enough.

"Why aren't you hexing the stuffing out of me?" she asked bluntly. Draco lowered the paper and looked taken aback.

"Excuse me?" he asked.

"Your not arguing with me, you were very civil in waiting for the paper, and you haven't called me muggle born at all. Are you okay in the head? Or better yet what do you have planned?" he laughed.

"I've got nothing planned and I'm quite sane." he smirked. "It's been three years I'm interested in why the great Granger hasn't popped up on every front page of every wizard paper, that's all." she rolled her eyes.

"Why do you care what I do?" she asked, now curious.

"Just seeing how my competition has stacked up since school, nothing wrong with that." he explained.

"If you must know, I teach at the new university." she said quickly, now annoyed. He raised an eyebrow.

"Not Hogwarts? Why?"

"The university is for 'gifted' students in magic, or at least that's what they say in the information packets." the last part being muttered under her breath.

"What's that suppose to mean?" he asked, and Hermione froze. Damn it, he had heard her.

"It's all about whose family can give more money to the school, not actually about talent. It's like being locked in a room full of clones of you for hours." she involuntary glared as she remembered. When he looked ready to laugh at her, she asked "And what have you been doing?"

"Living life, something you wouldn't know anything about." he answered.

"Well some of us don't have massive amounts of money." she shot back. "And I'm living my life really well for your information because I earned it."

"By working around the clock." he scoffed. "Take a vacation, actually put down a book. It's better than you think because the world actually doesn't explode when you put a book down." she rolled her eyes at him.

"Fasinating!" she said sarcastically. She was wrong, he wasn't going soft. He was still as always, an ass.

As Ginny felt the pull of sleep drift away from her eyes, she blinked to make aware of her surroundings. She found herself lying on something...wait make that someone. She smiled when she saw a sleeping Harry under her. She resisted the urge to lift her head from his chest and remembered they had been talking and eventually she had gotten very tired and fallen asleep. Yet she didn't know how she ended ontop of Harry, stretched out on the couch. She laughed softly, she would have to ask Harry that when he woke up. Until then she decided, she might as well go back to sleep in his arms.
"GRANGER!" shouted Draco and he heard an "OPF!" and then a tumble to the floor above him. Hermione looked up from the floor at the clock next to the bed that read 7:30 A.M. She muttered.

"Are you kidding me?" as he walked into the bedroom and snickered when he had seen Hermione had fallen out of bed. She glared at him.

"Not a word. What the hell could you want at seven thirty in the morning?"

"The power is out at my house." he explained and it took her a minute to realize something.

"You've never had a power outage before have you?" she asked, somewhat in shock. He nodded. "Oh my word...and you want me to fix it?" she groaned and pushed herself off the floor so she was standing. "I have to take a look at your circut breaker at your house, but give me a second to change."

"Fine but make it quick." he answered and left the room. Hermione sighed and reached for a pair boots, a sweater, and a pair of jeans. This is going to be interesting...
