A/N: Hey everyone this is probably the quickest I've ever updated but I must say that it's mainly because of all the reviews I get, I so glad that you all like the story you don't know how much it means to me. But anyways, no on with the story:

Chapter 18: Hermione's Rebellious Revenge

Hermione lay in bed later that night thinking back to when she had seen Draco with Nick. They had looked so perfect together; it had almost made her eyes well up with tears. She knew that Draco was a heartless asshole but when it came to Nick, he became a completely different person. Nick brought out the best in Draco and she was glad for that. Sighing, Hermione turned onto her side to look at Draco; he was sleeping soundly, his hair falling over his eyes. Then she looked at Nick who was an exact replica of his father only younger.

Nick had woken up two hours after he fell asleep, surprisingly in a very good mood. He had played with some of his magical toys, ate dinner and had taken his medication without even fussing a little. But then when it had come to putting him to bed he had cried and said that he didn't want to be left all alone. Hermione had agreed on letting him sleep with her, not only because Nick was afraid but also because she believed that this way she could keep a close eye on him if he decided to wake up during the night. The medication he was taking had side effects like mood changes and restlessness and Nick had experienced both of these. After lying there for about half an hour Hermione finally fell asleep.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

At exactly three o' clock in the morning, as if on cue, Nick shot up and looked around frantically. Not recognising his surroundings he burst into loud tears. Hermione groaned and opened her eyes slowly. Upon seeing Nick she too sat up quickly and put an arm around him to calm him down.

'It's alright Nick' she cooed 'Mummy's right here'

'I is thinking I was lost' said Nick sniffling

'Oh I'm sorry baby'

'Watsgoinon?' came Draco's sleepy voice form the other side of the bed

'It's nothing Malfoy go back to sleep'

But Draco was already sitting up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He took one look at the clock hanging on the wall opposite them and groaned out loud. 'What d'you think you're doing Granger waking me up at a time like this' said Draco irritably.

'Keep your voice down will you, he's almost asleep'

'Who?'

'Who do you think?'

Draco looked at Hermione confusedly and then as though he had just realised that Nick was there he groaned again. 'Isn't there anything you can do to stop this Healer Granger?' said Draco in a furious whisper.

'What do you mean?' Hermione shot back

'Well it's obviously the stupid potion he's taking that is making him wake up at ridiculous hours in the morning, there must be some way to cure it'

'There isn't'

'Then just give him a sleeping potion'

'Don't you think I would have done that if I could. It isn't that simple'

'What's so difficult about it?'

'Well if I give him a sleeping potion then that potion and the potion for the Dragon Pox will cancel each other out, meaning that neither of the potions will take effect at all.'

'Oh! I see'

'Good, now go back to sleep'

'I don't think I'll be able to'

'Then don't there isn't anything I can do about it. Are you going to work tomorrow?'

'Why do you care?'

'I'm just wondering'

'Well I can't tell you Granger because I'm not sure myself, I'll see in the morning now let me go to sleep'

'I thought you weren't sleepy'

'Well I am now'

'Whatever Malfoy'

Draco rolled his eyes and laid back down turning his back to Hermione. After making sure Nick was carefully tucked in she followed suite. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The next morning Draco was first to rise. He slowly got out of bed so he wouldn't wake the other two occupants grabbed his wand from the bedside table and made his way to the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror. His platinum blonde hair lay ruffled on top of his head; sticking up at odd angles. It looked like Potter's only he had black hair and Draco had blonde. As this thought crossed his mind, Draco shook his head from side to side, the mere thought of him looking like Potter made him want to thorough up. But shaking his head didn't help, it anything he had made it messier. Growling slightly he ran a hand over his face. He needed to shave. He picked up his wand from the counter where he had put it before and waved it at his face muttering a spell. A second later his face was covered in shaving cream and a second after that it was gone, leaving his cheeks smooth.

With a satisfied smirk upon his face, Draco walked over to the shower and pulled of him silky silver boxers. He turned on the taps and stepped into the stream of hot water. He was probably in there for about five minutes when he heard the door open. Through the glass he saw Granger walk in. She glanced at his briefly smirking inwardly and then turned to look at herself in the mirror. She picked up her toothbrush, put some paste on it and began brushing her teeth. Draco stood there looking at her dumbfounded.

'What the hell do you think you're doing Granger' he practically yelled.

'Brushing my teeth' she said looking at him through the mirror.

Draco looked around helplessly to find a way to cover himself but he saw that the towels were stacked neatly at the other side of the room next to the bathtub. Shit he thought. 'Granger get out'

'No'

'Aren't you a bit disturbed that you're looking at me…butt naked' said Draco trying to make a point.

'Nothing I haven't seen before' Hermione replied looking at him innocently

'Excuse me'

'What it's true, it isn't anything I haven't seen before'

'Ah you bitch!'

'Mind your language please Malfoy'

'Oh don't even try giving me a lecture about language Granger we both know that you can be quite foul-mouthed at times.' Hermione didn't say anything, she just continued brushing her teeth. 'Why are you doing this Granger? You're acting really peculiar'

'I'm paying you back'

'For what?'

'What do you mean for what? You know exactly what I'm talking about'

'Well Granger if you're trying to make me get down on my knees and cry Granger, you're wasting your time'

'Oh no, no, no, no, I just want you to feel as uncomfortable as I did when you tried to practically rape me those times'

'Oh believe me Granger; I'm nowhere near uncomfortable. To tell you the truth I've never been more comfortable in my entire life. In fact I'm so comfortable that I'm almost expecting you to give in and strip yourself and join me'

'Really? Is that what you want? Why would you want me to join you? Aren't you afraid I'll give you my Mudblood germs or something'

'No that you mention it-'

'You're such an asshole Malfoy' said Hermione putting down her toothbrush, rinsing her mouth and walking out of the bathroom.

A/N: There we are people. Is it too short? I dunno! I guess I updated soon so it doesn't matter. Well I thought I might base this chapter around Draco and Hermione since the last three revolved around Nick (hehe I love that name) so anyways…what do you think…REVIEW! PEOPLE REVIEW! I got 20 reviews for the last chapter so I thought I'd make my goal 20 this time. I promise I'll update soon but it won't be as soon as this one because I have a test on Friday that I really must revise for.
