"Hey Granger? Hand me that book."

"Get it yourself." she snapped, she was not in the mood to do things for other people. She had a room to clean and people needed to get up.

"C'mon, I don't want to go all the way there. I mean look, it's way closer to you than it is to me."

Hermione sighed, and went over to get the book. But instead of handing it to him, she did the best thing a person upset at Draco would do.

She stared at the book for a few minutes, smiled weirdly (a totally un- Hermione smile), and glanced up at Draco.

Draco had a confused look on his face, as he slowly moved black. He knew what she was going to do.

And almost as a reflex, he caught the book that was being hurled at him. "Good god Granger. I meant hand it to me nicely."

She just rolled her eyes, also a little put off because he caught the book and it hadn't hit him square on his fore-head.

"Granger?"

"Yes, what is it Malfoy?" Hermione sighed.

It was amazing, how the roles had been switched and it wasn't Draco being annoyed with Hermione anymore.

"Michael is cheater."

"I'm sorry what?"

"This book, do you remember? Dumbledore gave it to you, for when you check the tests? I think Michael was just with you to get this…"

"What are you saying Malfoy? That Michael- the Michael that just dumped nary a half an hour ago, used me to get to this book? Are you serious?"

Malfoy just nodded.

" And how can you be so sure?"

"Because the idiot left his name all over the back. The loser likes writing his name a lot."

Hermione's eyes widened, as tears glazed over her eyes. "Well, thank you Malfoy. You have made this the second most miserable morning of my life."

He just smiled, and nodded his head, as if he had just done a noble job.

She just sighed and cleaned the room as he left the room, smiling only to himself.

"Oi! Michael!" exclaimed Draco,

Before Michael even turned around, Draco punched him square him in the jaw.

Blaise saw this happen and screamed, "What was the for Draco?!"

"I just didn't like him that very second."

Blaise just smiled. "Ok sure."

"I heard you punched Michael." Hermione said, leaning against her door wearing shorts and a long t-shirt.

"Who told you that?"

"It's all around the school. Rumors are, you said, "You didn't like his face at that moment?"

She started chuckling as Hermione shook her head. She went and sat next to him, and said, "You didn't have to punch him you know. I didn't like him that much."

Draco rolled his eyes, "I'm sure." She smiled lightly and put her hand on his. "Thank you though. In a weird way, it made me feel better that now he's hurt."

Draco grimaced at the fact that she actually cared about Michael so much to actually feel good about the fact that he punched him. Yes, Draco's mind was complicated.

"Whatever." he muttered.

Hermione sighed, "See, why do you have to do that?"

"What?" he snapped.

"Act like a total jerk." Draco stared at her, that stared at her hand.

"Because that is who I am." he said, looking away and shifted his body away from her.

"No it's not." he whispered.

She got up and went towards her door but not before whispering, "No it's not." One more time.

"Malfoy?"

"Mm?" he asked, looking up from his book.

But before he knew it, Hermione was kissing him fiercely-

Then he woke up.

"Lord! What the hell has happened to me??!" he shrieked, in a highly unusual voice.

"Draco what's wrong?"

He looked up to find himself in his common room. Did he fall asleep here?

"Err, nothing. Nothing at all."

He got up and walked into him room and flinging himself onto his bed, the bed's springs coming to life and squeaking annoyingly.

And then Draco started mumbling to himself in different stupid voices.

"Shut up!!" came the voice of Hermione from room next door.

It might be the head's room, but the walls were as thin as paper.

He got up and walked into her room.

"Granger? C'mon don't be a girl and go to sleep!"

Her sloppy response came, "I a grill… mm sleep."

"English please." he muttered, before ducking at the pillow that was being hurled at him.

"Nothing is safe around you anymore is it Granger? First a book now a pillow? What's next? Yourself? Actually on second thought-"

"What is it Malfoy. I am now fully awake, and wont be able to fall asleep until the next three hours, so there better be a good reason for this."

He went and jumped on her bed.

"I'm bored." he said, as if it was the world's biggest problem.

Hermione just screamed into the pillow, before Draco said, "You ok Granger? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Do you see strange white cushioned walls around you?"

What he didn't see was Hermione lunging towards him and strangling his neck. He pushed her off easily, and told her, "See, I told you- the next thing you know you'll be hurling yourself at me. I think I'm a physic sometimes."

"What will take for you to shut up?"

"A kiss?" He laughed.

Hermione went down, and kissed Draco like she had never kissed him before. It was filled with force and anger for him to shut up.

And nary a second later, she pulled away.

He didn't say a thing the rest of the night, so she pulled the sheet over the two of them and went to sleep.

That sure as hell did the job didn't it?
