Silently he crept into her room, moving swift and fast. He had to get this done or all will be lost. Seeing her stir in her bed made his eyes grow wide but he didn't leave. Opening the desk drawer as quietly as he could, tip toeing out the door…
"Where is it?" She fumed, anger is an understatement. "Where is what?" he asked innocently…
"If you don't remember the past, you'll have no future."
Something was different today, she normally felt at home here and this was her place to get away from everything and just be by herself, but today she felt awkward like she was being watched…

She looked around her nervously, fear creeping into her very soul, suddenly she felt something brush her leg. Screaming, she ran downstairs as fast as her legs would take her "Ahhh," she squealed, Draco jumped to his feet and she hid behind him fearfully. "What are you doing?" he asked her looking like she had sprouted tentacles from her head. "S-something is in my room…and its really scaring me." She couldn't believe she was spilling her secrets out to…well him of all people.
Draco scoffed "There's monsters in your room? What are you two?" he asked her smirking, making her feel very foolish. "I-I just thought…your right it was probably nothing…but would you mind if I stayed down here for a little bit?" she asked shyly biting her lip as she always did when she was unsure of something or nervous. Draco had sat back down and looked up at her, she looked so innocent standing there in the firelight, biting her lip only made her look more bea- woah Draco what are you thinking? He scolded himself "Sure I guess," he said not thinking he could have said no even if he had wanted to. "thanks." She muttered quietly and sat next to him, opening a book.
This was one of the few moments where they were actually at peace, no fighting or arguing about something…It was nice they both silently agreed. Well…she is pretty for a mud-muggleborn, and those beautiful brown eyes and her smile it just makes me want to be by her. Draco thought nonchalantly, after several moments Draco realized he had been reading the same sentence over and over again for the past 10 minutes but still didn't remember what it was about.
Suddenly he stood up, making Hermione glance up from her own book. "What is it?" she asked curiously, she saw him go over to the newly installed drink counter (his father thought the room unacceptable without it) and fill up two glasses, bringing them back with him. "here," he thrust the second cup into her hand, shocked she smiled and whispered a thanks.
They both took a drink of the milky white liquid, and contuined reading after a while Hermione looked at the clock their Sunday had come and gone and it was now 11:53, and they had classes first thing. "Oh wow we'd better get to bed." Hermione said looking over at Draco who was sleeping peacefully on the couch, his book tipped against his chest. Hermione smiled almost fondly you would've guessed if you didn't know who she was smiling at, and their history together. "Its only the polite thing to do," Hermione decided and brought out a blanket, carefully removing the book from his grasp she placed the warm red silk blanket on him, and went to bed.
Draco yawned, stretching out his arms and he looked around him, confused where was he? Oh the common room, how'd he get there…oh last night with Hermione and she thought there was a monster. Pushing away the red blanket he saw a stack of pancakes and orange juice on the table next to him. Where him and Granger on speaking terms? Heck…No.
Hermione sighed, sitting in the middle of her second class of the day, history of magic, her head was currently perched on her hand, and a quill in the other, a stack of notes lay to her right where she was writing down what the teacher said. There were several people asleep but only one looked ridiculous, Ron. His head was on the table, mouth right open revealing something that would make any dentist faint. Every few seconds Harry would whack Ron in the head and he would shoot right up and exclaim, "I'm up!" then fall back asleep moments later. After several minutes of this cycle going on the class wondered how the teacher didn't notice, then realized he didn't care and some fell asleep at the realization of that. Soon there were only a few students left awake when the class was over.
"I'm glad Christmas break is tomorrow!" Harry and Ron said in unison "Mum's going to make us more meat pies this year," Ron grinned greedily. "I'm staying here at school this time." She confessed to them, and was returned with looks of outrage "No! We aren't going to let you stay here all alone on Christmas...come to Ron's with us." Harry insisted. "Well..." she thought momentarily "I suppose I might be able to," she smiled broadly. "I'm going back to the common room I'll see you two later," she turned on her heel and marched back to the heads room.
Once again, though she was in an empty hallway she had the feeling that she was being watched, she felt the hairs on her neck stand up and goose bumps covered her arms. A shadow approached and she nearly screamed the password and ran inside, slamming the door after her and bumping into Draco, knocking him onto the floor. "Get off," he tried to say but after having the wind knocked out of him it sounded more like a wheeze "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry." She hurried and got off him, rubbing her injured arm she looked at the door. "Something's out there," she managed to whimper out, the portrait started shaking as a loud banging came from the outside.
Draco even looked scared "Hurry this way," he motioned towards a door they'd never though to explore. Opening it up they ran inside, it was a hallway in Hogwarts… "Oh its just like an escape doorway." Hermione mused and they kept running, soon out of breath they stopped, panting Draco closed his eyes and opened them again "What was that?" he asked looking around in case it came again. "I don't know." Hermione admitted it was the first time he had heard her say those words.
They looked around and didn't know any of the students passing, they looked at them strangely. "Hey man." A boy came up to Draco, "Who's your girlfriend?" he asked flashing a charming smile at Hermione who had the grace to blush. "I'm not his girlfriend." She corrected, this statement made the boy grin "I'm Thomas" her introduced himself and Draco said "Draco," and Hermione said "I'm Hermione."
"So I haven't seen you two before- are those head badges?" Thomas asked his eyes wide "Yeah were the head boy and girl," Hermione told him, he looked stunned "But Christy and I are the head boy and girl," he pointed to a shiny badge that read head boy on his robes. "What are you talking about?" Hermione said baffled, how could he be the head boy that was Draco…
"Hermione…" Draco whispered "I don't think were in 2007 anymore…"
