Just Your Above Average Malfoy : Thanks for the review! And for saying that the story is Super funny.

You guys made me happy ;)

"This day is fantastic! I think I have to take back what I said about hating Thursdays" Ron said gleefully. They were at the Gryffindor's common room (which now turned into a house) for an hour but his eyes were still stuck to his PSP.

"Yeah. I think being with Slytherin isn't annoying anymore" Harry agreed. He, too, was focused on his gadget. He was even relieved when his partner, Astoria ignored him. "Look! There are a lot of things you can do here" he said and showed Ron and Hermione the laptop's camera, the programs, the games, the videos and the music.

"You guys have fun because your partners don't bother you. Malfoy has been infuriating me by texting me! Until now" Hermione sighed as she got another text from him saying, 'Having fun, mudblood?'

"He'll get tired" Ron didn't bother looking up at her because he was busy playing.

"Won-won! Let's take a picture again!" Lavender went with her camera in.

"Want to play, 'Mione?" Ron stood up, ready to go with Lavender as he asked Hermione.

"No thanks" she said and Ron left his PSP to Harry.

"Don't mind him, 'Mione." Harry looked at her.

"I've been saying that I'm used to it but why do I still feel this way? There's always a pang in my chest whenever they are together. Ron didn't even look at me but when Lavender asked him, he immediately agreed." She felt a tear roll down her eye.

"Don't cry now" Harry put down his laptop and hugged Hermione.

"I'm sorry. I know I should be this way." Hermione said hoarsely.

"It's natural, Hermione. You love him. It isn't your fault" Harry comforted her and they stayed like that for almost five minutes. Someone tried to make a cough sound and they both broke from the hug.

"Hi Ginny" Hermione said as she wiped tears away.

"Oh no! I didn't know you were cry—mmmmm" Ginny said but Hermione covered her mouth to stop her from blurting out what she's doing. She wouldn't want anyone questioning her with crying.

"I'll tell you, love." Harry said to Ginny then turned to Hermione. "You can let her go now" Harry smiled gently.

Hermione did as what she was told and Ginny sat beside Harry. "I think I'll go now. See you later" Hermione said this because she saw Ron and Lavender going back in.

"Okay. Should I be the one to tell Ginny then?" Harry noticed the two as well so he agreed quickly. Hermione nodded and gave a faint smile. They exchanged good nights and Hermione went out.

"Why don't we set them up? So that she can finally tell him about her feelings" Ginny suggested after hearing what happened. "I mean they needed a little push, right?"

"That might be a good idea but it's risky" Harry said appraisingly.

"Let's take it slow and plan things. Alright Harry?" she looked at him.

"Alright then" he kissed her forehead.

"Where's Hermione?" Ron asked the moment he arrived then took his PSP.

"None of your business" Ginny glared at her brother.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?" Ron asked.

"Humph!" With that, Ginny kissed Harry good night and went to the girl's dorm.

"What happened, Harry?" Ron asked.

"Nothing, Ron" he said trying to focus his attention to his laptop. Ron did the same.

Hermione's POV

Beep.

Sigh. It's Malfoy again. Who else would it be? His number is saved in here. Can't he stop bugging me with these text messages? It's getting really annoying.

'Where are you? It's already eight!'

I opened my sleepy eyes when I thought I misread the message. I jab on my touch screen phone and read it first before I send it.

'I'm at the stairs near the common room' NO. DELETE EVERYTHING! Why would I tell him that?

I revised it.

'Why do you care? Don't you even have anything productive to do instead of texting me?' Sent.

'That was Blaise. And don't make it seem like I'm "texting" you. This is one form of "annoying" you. Why would you even assume that I would text you with a message something like that? Keep dreaming'

'Ha! As if I'd want you to. And for your information, I… I' Ugh! Delete. Delete. Delete. 'Ha! As if I'd want you to! I'd die laughing if you think I really assumed. For the nth time, STOP BOTHERING ME!'Sent.

'Whatever, mudblood'

Malfoy really got some nerves! Ugh. I don't want to think about him. I'm tired! I'm tired with everything that has Ron in it. I'm tired with him having Lavender by his side! And most of all, I'm tired of loving him. He doesn't even see me as a girl or something special. Why, of all people should it be him? He's my best friend!

I picked my handkerchief from my bag and pressed it onto my face. I won't deny the fact that I am crying because of Ron. It's just tiring to love someone whom you know will never love you back the way you him to be.

Sob.

"Since when did crying become a habit of yours?" someone said.

End of POV

Hermione turned to look at the person who said it only to find Draco with emotionless face few feet away from her.

"Malfoy" she said weakly.

"Mud—Granger" She wiped her tears away while he went nearer.

"Why are you staring at me?" Hermione asked consciously.

"You didn't answer my question. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I don't care anyway." He went back and twisted the knob on the common room's door which is now the house's door but it was locked.

"Muggles" he muttered to himself. He disliked the thought that everything about Hogwarts is muggle-like during Thursdays and Fridays. He was so used to doing everything the wizard way and not the other way around.

"I got the key here!" Hermione took the key out of her bag and opened the door. They both went in and then it struck them like a lightning.

~o~

"WE'RE ON THE SAME HOUSE!" They both exclaimed.

Hermione recalled really hard about what was explained to them today. "That just can't possibly be." She said and saw the one thing that frightened her.

"Only one room" Draco said it verbally for her. He smirked at her priceless reaction.

Hermione can't seem to process it and she was too tired to even think more.

"I'm tired" she said and went to their bathroom and changed her clothes. She then walked over to the king sized bed inside the room and lay down on it. Draco on the other hand did the same thing and Hermione gave him dagger looks.

"What?" he asked with fake annoyance.

"You're on my bed, Malfoy" Hermione said.

"I'm definitely not sleeping in there!" Draco pointed to the couch. "And it's my bed too, Granger" He darted a serious look at her.

"So am I!" She ignored him and buried her face onto her pillow.

After a few minutes, she noticed that he was actually sleeping. It was odd seeing him sleep but he looked peaceful so Hermione gave up and got up from the bed. She went out of the room and sleep on the couch instead. She wouldn't argue with him today because they were both exhausted. Within a few minutes, she was washed away into the dream land.

"Hmmm" Draco rolled over the bed and popped one eye open. Hermione wasn't there. He looked at the wall clock and saw that it was four in the morning. He stood up and looked for Hermione. He saw her sleeping on the couch and he felt guilty for her action.

"Stupid mudblood" he muttered as he carried her back into the bed and slept on the couch instead.

4:30 AM

Hermione knew that something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw that she was sleeping on the bed. How did she get in here? Only Draco could do that. She looked then if Draco was there or was playing a prank on her. Then she saw him sleeping on the couch. She felt guilty and she knew that this matter needs to be taken care of.

"Malfoy" she tried to rock him.

"Hmmmm" he showed no signs of waking up.

"Malfoy!" she did it now with more force.

"What is it? It's too early. Stop bothering me, Granger." He said groggily.

"You need to wake up or else you'll get a stiff neck"

"Yeah whatever" he rolled over a little and drifted back to sleep.

"Draco! You need to transfer to the bed now" she more of like ordered him.

"Draco? That's new. Are you telling me to share the bed with you?" he smirked at her and sat in his place with sleepy eyes.

"No- I mean yes. Let's just talk about this later." she said and went back to the bed. Draco followed her and went to the other side of the bed.

"Had fun last night?" He teased her early in the morning. She sat on the bed and saw him sitting on a chair with a mug on his hand while staring at her.

Hermione blushed as the memories from yesterday flooded her mind. "Don't make it hard on me, Malfoy. You can't sleep on the couch, you know. It doesn't feel right."

Draco assessed some time as he took this all in. His brain was cooperating with him today. "So it felt right when you were hugging me on the bed? Is that what you're implying, Granger?" he grinned.

"Very funny, Malfoy" Hermione rolled her eyes. Then she saw the time. It was already nine in the morning. She missed the breakfast in the Hall and she's now feeling hungry.

"Hungry? Here, I brought you some leftovers" he said and looked at the foods on the table beside him.

"Are you trying to insult me?" Hermione said innocently. She didn't want to argue with anyone first thing in the morning. She stood up and looked at the foods. It didn't look like a leftover. She smiled at this.

"What are you smiling at, Granger?" Draco asked nonchalantly.

"None of your business" she said and took the second seat behind him and started munching on the foods. "Thank you" she said in a little voice.

"You know how to thank people?" Draco asked incredulously.

"You know how to bring someone food after they missed breakfast? I didn't know that there was a part of you that's nice" she returned his banter.

"Becoming a Slytherin, eh?"

"I'm not! Don't you have any classes today?"

"Trying to stalk me?" he grinned again.

"Just answer the question" she said seriously that he wanted to laugh at her.

"I have. Well then" he washed his mug, left it and went out of the room.

~o~

"Hermione! Harry told me to tell you to go to Room 305" Ginny panicked. She looked pale.

"What happened?" Why are you panicking?" Hermione asked her but she didn't answer.

"Room 305" was the only thing she said and Hermione rushed to where the room 305 is.

"Ha—" she stopped dead at what she saw. Lavender was on top of Ron and he was shirtless. They didn't notice her and kept on what they we're doing—snogging. Hermione's knees became wobbly that she can't even feel them anymore then she felt her vision blurred. She saw Harry approached the room on the other side and was astounded to see Ron and Lavender together in that unusual position.

"Ron!" Harry shouted angrily. Then he spotted Hermione and felt that everything is ruined. He ran over to Hermione and Ron, after them.

"I told you that we've got a surprise for you" Harry said to Ron. "Why are you with her?" he gestured to Lavender.

"I thought she was my surprise? Why is Hermione and Ginny here?" Ron asked as she saw them. Hermione looked different like she has a huge problem while Ginny was red all over.

"Why is she here?" Ginny said as soon as she saw Lavender. "And why are you topless?" she asked her brother disbelievingly.

"I was… we were… She suddenly came in here and I thought this was it…" Ron didn't know what to say.

Harry slapped his forehead and saw that Hermione's leaving with Ginny. He told Ron to put back his shirt on and followed after them.

"Hermione, I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to happen that way. I'm so sorry!" Ginny said for the tenth time.

"What do you mean?" Hermione still hasn't regained her strength just yet. Good thing that today was their free day.

"Harry and I thought that if we set you and Ron up, you will tell him how you actually feel and…" Ginny trailed off because she was about to cry.

"That's okay. I'm alright. Don't cry" Hermione said and patted Ginny's back. "I'm supposed to be the one who's crying, you know" she managed a joke.

"We ruined the plan. No, it was Lavender. She shouldn't have gone there. She ruined our plan" Ginny said sorrowfully.

"I'm sorry, 'Mione. I thought that this would work…" Harry, too, felt as much disappointed as Ginny was.

"You know what, it's alright. Lavender didn't ruin anything. It was Ron who always ruined everything. I guess I should move on then!" Hermione said while fighting the urge not to burst out and cry in front of her friends.

Beep. Good thing Malfoy texted her. This isn't the best time and she needed her escape.

'Crying again?'

"Ooppss. Sorry guys but I need to go somewhere" she break off the tension but her voice was shaky.

"Where are you going?" they both asked.

"Just somewhere" Hermione tried to fake a smile and she knew that they didn't believe her act.

"Malfoy is the only one who texts you, right? Then are you going to meet with him?" Harry asked.

"Uhmm… right. We have uhh- a meeting! Guys, I really need to go. See you!" Hermione said and once she knew that she were out of sight, she started to feel loads of pain coming all together. She ran to their house and found that the key wasn't with her. (During Thursday and Friday, Hogwarts turn into a muggle town for the 6th and 7th year students.) She remembered the text.

'No. Malfoy, where are you? I need the key' Sent.

'Why do you need it? So you can go and cry inside the room and no one will see you?'

'You're insane. Just tell me where you are.'

Then the door to their house opened. He was inside. She went in and said nothing.

"I knew it." Draco went back to the bed and sat on it.

"You don't. I needed to study but I can't 'cause my books are here" Hermione lied and tried to look at the shelves in the room.

"Mutual Bond curse. Have you forgotten about it?" he said casually.

"I won't cry. I needed to study. Besides, why are you here? I thought you had classes?"

"Trying to change the subject, are we? Come here now, you can cry on me" he grinned at what he said. Was he making the mudblood touch him? And was he actually comforting her?

"Don't try and make a fool out of me" she glared at him.

"I was half being serious" he admitted.

"Half serious? I can't believe you." She went back to looking at the books. "Oh! Here it is." She picked out a random book and tugged it in her arm.

"I guess I'll go now" she could feel her eyes starting to feel warm now and if she didn't leave any minute from now, she knew that she was going to burst in tears. She still couldn't erase the fact that she was broken hearted and there's nothing to be done.

"Not going anywhere, Granger" he went for the door and locked it.

"Why are you so mean, Malfoy? I told you that there's nothing wrong with me!" she snapped. Tears were crawling out of her eyes.

"You're bawling your eyes out again just like what you did yesterday morning"

"How… did… you know?" She looked away as she said in gaps, her voice was hoarse.

"How many times do I have to tell you? It's the curse! I can feel your sorrow. Hate to think that a mudblood will touch me though…" he shrugged and hugged her.

Hermione cried her eyes for what seems like hours until she heard her stomach growling. It was three in the afternoon when she stopped.

"I never knew you had much water on you" he said, still hugging her.

"I'm sorry, Malfoy. You can stop acting nice now. Go on with your rants about my blood, about my—" she said but he stopped her.

"I'm not acting nice. I just thought that you were so fragile…" he wanted to say more but he stopped. He surely won't admit anything to Hermione.

"Thank you, Draco" she said with a small smile, crawled into the bed and after a sec, she was fast asleep.

"Your tears are worth more than that" he whispered as he felt her pain. He didn't know what it feels to be brokenhearted but because of her, he felt it. It was a feeling that's unexplainable. First, he felt a stabbing sensation in his heart like he's seen something he would loathe to see. Then it felt like his heart was shattering.

"Merlin you're going to be the death of me, Granger." He said and went out of the room.
