Chapter 11

Hermione and Draco finished patrol that night feeling more tired then usual. They entered the common room and as they did Draco looked around half expecting Zandra to have still been there, but she was nowhere. Hermione on the other hand simply plopped down on the couch and sighed.

"Long night." She yawned.

Draco nodded sitting down next to her.

They sat in silence for a moment enjoying being off their feet. Draco broke the silence.

"Me and Zandra got back together."

"Hmmm. When?" Hermione replied trying to fight off sleep.

"After dinner, while you were with Snape."

"Oh, I'm happy for you. It's about time this whole drama was done with."

"It's not close to done with yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Blaise told her not to take me back, and she recons he'll be furious when he finds out." Draco said running his hands through his hair.

"We'll then why didn't he have a problem with you two hanging around?"

"He did, but he can flip like that." Draco said snapping his fingers.

"Well I don't know what to say except that it will all work out."

"Yea but we still have to go through it."

"Yea but that is for another day, come on, bed." Hermione said getting up and prompting Draco to do the same.

"No I think I'll go to my bed tonight. Haven't slept in it yet, might as well give it a try right."

Hermione nodded.

"Well night then" She said turning to walk away. "If it doesn't work out my door is always open."

"That's why I love you Hermione. Night." Draco said then watched Hermione walk up the stairs to her room. Running his hands through his hair once more Draco got up and walked up the stairs to his room. He went in the bathroom and brushed his teeth then stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed to find that someone was already there. Draco nearly yelled but then he remembered that he had asked Zandra to stay and wait for him to get back.

"I stayed." Zandra said sleepily rolling over and putting an arm around Draco's waist.

"Yes and I'm glad you did." Draco said kissing the top of her head. "Now sleep, I have to go to Hogsmead tomorrow."

"Yea." Zandra replied as she fell back asleep. "Iluvyu"

"I love you too sweetie." Draco said smiling and allowing himself to fall asleep.

Draco woke with a start when a pair of pants landed on his head. He sat up to see Hermione digging through his dresser, he ducked as she threw a pair of socks over her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked confused.

"Oh now you wake up, we have to be in the entrance hall in thirty minutes." Hermione said.

"Ah shit." Draco said throwing his head back in frustration.

"This is what happens when you sleep in your room. Now shower go!" Hermione said over her shoulder.

"Right shower." Draco jumped up and ran into his bathroom and with in seconds Hermione heard the water turn on.

She walked over to Draco's bed after she had finished pulling clothes for him out of his dresser. She eyed the lump on the bed the bent down close to it.

"Zandra" She whispered, nothing.

"Zandra" she said a little louder, still nothing.

"Zandra" Nothing

"Zandra" Still nothing.

"ZANDRA!" Hermione nearly yelled, and then the lump moved.

"wuddouwant?" Zandra replied finally.

"You need to get up, me and Draco have to leave soon and you need to go back to your own room now." Hermione said as sweetly as possible.

"Fivemoreminutes." Zandra replied.

"No now." Hermione replied pulling the blankets back revealing Zandras perfect curves and narrow waist. Hermione starred at her for a moment leave it to Draco t find the perfect girl and screw it up. She thought to herself.

Zandra sat up but it looked as if she was doing it against her will. Her once perfect pigtails were crooked, her black lip stick smeared, and her eye make-up, well it was now face make-up. Hermione held back a laugh, the pointed her wand at Zandra and the make-up was gone instantly.

"Thanks." Zandra said then stretched.

"Did you sleep well?" Hermione asked sitting next to her on the bed.

"Yea or as well as you can sleep with Godzilla next to you."

"I never noticed Draco snore."

"Well you haven't slept with him now have you?"

"Well we did share a bed for the last couple months." Hermione admitted scared there would be an explosion.

"Well then you are deaf." Zandra said.

"You aren't angry?" Hermione said stunned.

"No Draco said he hasn't been with anyone since me and I believe him." Zandra said plainly.

"Oh I thought you would be upset."

"Why?"

"Thought that maybe you saw me as a threat." Hermione said honestly.

"No, you and Draco are best friends, nothing more, I can tell, he doesn't look at you the same way he looks at me, and you don't look at him like that either."

"Oh well yea, so are we friends then?" Hermione asked slightly confused.

"I hope so we are going to be seeing a lot of each other." Zandra said smiling.

Hermione smiled back, amazed at how easy it was to talk to Zandra, it was like when she talked to Ginny. Ginny she thought I haven't talked to her since we arrived. This did not disturb her though, Ginny would always be there.

"Yea I think we can be friends." Hermione said smiling. "So what happened last night?" and evil grin spreading over her face.

"Honestly, nothing, I fell asleep before you two got back last night, but if I hadn't fallen asleep." Zandra said with an equally evil grin on her face.

Draco walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist cutting off what Hermione was about to say. Zandra got up and walked over to him, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

"Morning" He said.

"Morning" Zandra replied.

"Um I would love to talk but I have to get ready so If you want to meet me in the entrance hall in like twenty minutes." Draco said.

Zandra kissed him again "I'll see you in twenty minutes." She said the walked out of the room saying good-bye to Hermione on the way out.

***

"That's the last one." Hermione said.

"Finally" Draco sighed. "Can we go now?"

"Yea after we take these forms up to McGonagall." Hermione said then seeing the look on Draco's face "You go I'll take these to McGonagall."

Draco hugged her and kissed he cheek, "Thank you Hermione." He said then took Zandra's hand and took off down the path to Hogsmead. Draco had planned to spend the whole day with Zandra and wished to start as soon as possible.

Hermione shook her head at their retreating backs, then turned to find herself face to face with Snape.

"Disgusting," Snape said watching Draco and Zandra walk down the path hand in hand. "Can't keep their hand to themselves," He finished trying to keep the sarcasm out of his voice but failing miserably.

Hermione slapped his arm. "You scared the shit out of me," She said laughing.

"You can get expelled for hitting a teacher, Miss Granger, you should know that as Head Girl," Snape said again failing to hide his sarcasm. Hermione smiled at him.

"I have to take these to McGonagall real quick." She said.

"Well I will just have to escort you, seeing as I will have to speak to her about your punishment." Snape said.

"What punishment?" Hermione asked shocked.

"For abusing a teacher, it's against the rules," Snape said, smiling slightly.

"You wouldn't dare," Hermione replied.

Snape grabbed her forearm and pulled her into a hidden hallway.

"And why wouldn't I?" Snape said devilishly.

"Because I will never kiss you again," Hermione said crossing her arms.

"I call bull shit."

"What? You can't call bull shit," Hermione retorted.

"Can too, you were lying."

Hermione shook her head.

"I would be willing to forget the punishment if you would agree to spend the day with me," Snape said pulling Hermione close and kissing her.

Hermione took the papers she had rolled up in her hand and slapped the back of Snape's head with it.

"You can't bribe me," She said, with her hands on her hips.

"Watch me," Snape replied, pulled her close and kissed her neck. He felt her shiver in his arms.

"Give me five minutes," Hermione said then raced off to take the forms to McGonagall.

Snape hit the back of his head against the stone wall and slid down into a sitting position waiting for Hermione's return.
