The Rules

"I was just wondering," he paused. She hadn't turned completely turned around but the suspense was killing her, she would never let him know it though. "What it is like to be a stuck-up know-it-all like you?" he said plainly. She could feel him smirk behind her back.

'ARGH! That bastard, I don't even know why I wasted my time even waiting for an answer, I knew he was always going to be an arrogant prick. ARR!'

Hermoine turned around, ignored his comment and slowly walked up towards her room. She reached her door and as she opened it, she heard a sly remark.

"Ok, don't answer then. Night." He said with a hint of laughter in his voice. Draco quickly walked the stairs, knowing he had little time to catch her before she went into her room. She had walked into her room by the time he got there. He pushed the door open, feeling no need to knock. He saw her examining her room, all her belongs had been put out neatly on her bed and on her chest of drawers. Her sheets where an orange, gold colour like the colour of the sunset, her curtains matched, the floor was a dark wood which matched her vanity table, chest of drawers and four post bed.

"Oh wow," she said, slightly amazed at her new room and not thinking anyone else was there. She started spinning around arms out wide. Draco watched in amazement and this careless fun act. He was too much of a Malfoy to do anything like this.

'She's looks so happy. Beautiful, she looks absolutely beautiful. What the fuck am I thinking? She is Hermione Granger, know-it-all Granger, Mudblood Granger. I'm fucking deluded and to think that.' his thoughts interrupted by a sharp slap to his face.

"DRACO MALFOY! If we are to share this dorm together, let's get some rules established. Firstly DO NOT enter my room without knocking. Secondly DO NOT enter my room when I'm not in it and thirdly DO NOT touch my stuff. Now GET OUT!" she screamed at him and pointed to the door. He stood dumbfounded, first for being slapped and secondly for being commanded by this normally quiet young girl. Before he could say anything in reply he felt himself being pushed out the door.

"Oh the arrogance, HOW DARE HE!" Hermoine vented to the empty room. To calm herself she began to put away her stuff, as she looked at the picture of her parents a mixed emotion of sadness and angry came over her. She wouldn't think about them, not yet. Hermoine quickly shoved the picture into the back of her sock drawer.

'Bath, definitely need a bath. Do we have to share a bathroom? Oh please say we don't'

Hermoine walked towards the door on the far wall of her room. She opened the door to find a nice renovated bathroom, pale yellow and white tiles, a large bath in the corner and shower next to it. On the other side a toilet and basin, above that a stunning mirror. She quickly walked to the bath and began running the water, testing it ever so often while taking off her clothes. Before completely taking off her clothes, she locked the door, natural reaction after leaving with him all summer.

As she sat in the bath, she felt all the stress of the day run away. Baths had always calmed her especially when she had special relaxing crystals from a shop in Hogsmeade.

'If I had only known, why was I so stupid?' her thought going to back to the main thing on her mind, 'I never thought I could do it, I still don't think I could. If only I had, oh there is not point saying if only, I can't change what happened. I'M SUCH AN IDOIT!'

Hermoine slipped down into the bath, letting the water cover her face. She closed her eyes but only for a second before she sat bolt up right and got out of the bath.

'Not that feeling please say I'm wrong, not him please.'

She quickly dried herself grabbing her wand and performing a clothing spell, she unlocked the door. Hermoine reached the door of her room and ran out, she hoped she wasn't too late.

Draco sat up on his bed reading a book. He quite enjoyed reading, though hardly anyone knew, especially his father. All his father was concerned about was the Dark Lord, and that Draco followed in his footsteps. He was definitely not concerned about anything Draco enjoyed, just as long as Draco did what he said. Draco sighed, the book he was reading wasn't it had all cracked up to be. He lent his head back against his bed head.

'It will be soon, I think. Father said so. I don't really want it to be, I have never really wanted to be one of them now that I think about it.' This thought surprised him. ' I would change for her, to be anything she wanted me to be.' This thought surprised him even more. ' NO I wouldn't, I would never change for anyone, especially her. NO not even for her, not that beautiful creature.'

Draco was pulled out of his thoughts, as he heard Hermoine's door slam. He quickly got off his bed and opened his door, he saw a flash of jeans skim around the corner. He reached behind him and grabbed his wand off his chest of drawers and followed her down the stairs.

Hermoine ran down the corridors hoping she would make it in time, this had only happened once before, if she had only done something about it. Things would have been different then, much different. She sped upstairs hoping to make it to the Gryffindor Chambers in time. Being Head Girl she knew all the passwords for every House. She reached the Fat Lady and told the password, just as the door opened a hand grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.

"Jesus Christ Granger, What is your hurry?" asked Malfoy during breaths.

"Ugh, not know Malfoy I don't have time to deal with you at the moment. I have to save Harry, please let me go." She said desperately.

"Potter, Why would the all mighty potter need saving?" He smirked.

"I haven't got time to explain," She mumbled before she spun around and ran up the stairs. Hermoine quickly entered Harry's room, seeing him hunched other near his bed, while the others slept. She wasn't that late she could still save him.

"HARRY!" she screamed, as she ran towards him. Taking him into her lap, he was pale and his eyes where closed.

"What's wrong with him?" Malfoy's voice came from behind her, he knelt beside her.

"I don't know, we just need to do something before he gets worse." She said anxiously. People began to stir around them, she didn't care and they couldn't help.

"I'll get Madame Pomfrey," he quickly said before he dashed out of the room.

'Oh god Harry, hold on ,please hold on.'

Harry groaned, before chucking all over Hermoine. This was not a good sign.

'Oh god that's not good. It can't happen yet, please not yet.'
