Damn she is smart
"I got a lot to say to you. Yeah I got a lot to say. I noticed your eyes are always glued to me…keeping them here and it makes no sense at all."
"Jesus Granger! It is only 6:30 who is awake at this hour singing and showering?" Draco growled from the, now open bathroom door.
xSxCx
Hermione, deaf to all of what Draco was saying, sauntered out of the shower. Her eyes were closed and she reached behind her to grab the towel she had left on the door handle only to come across a half necked Draco Malfoy, Hermione froze and squealed embarrassedly.
Draco just stood there starting at her back side. Hermione slowly opened her eyes, slowly placed a hand over her chest, and her other hand over her vagina. Then, once again, big brown eyes met equally big gray eyes.
"Um…let…me j-just…uh…get…my towel…." Hermione stammered while glowing red.
Draco moved awkwardly into the bathroom. Hermione, having to close the door so she could grab her towel, quickly wrapped herself up.
Wholly shits!Hermione thought while facing the door…all too aware it was Draco's door and that he was standing right behind her. Draco jumped when the sudden thought creped into this mind.
Hermione turned around and looked at Draco hard, taking in his elegant features and nothing that he was wearing black silk boxers, only. "Why the hell didn't you tell me you were in here?" Hermione demanded while marching past him to the sink so she could brush out her hair.
"What!? Didn't you hear me yelling at you for singing?" Draco asked while turning around to watch her brush out her hair.
"Um…no!" Hermione said and pulled back half her hair into a pony tail and allowed her bangs to fall in a wavy motion over her right eye. Hermione turned to glare at Draco, who just raised his eyebrow seductively. Hermione, flustered, sharply turned and whispered "fuck off." Before marching out and slamming her door.

I am going to fucking kill him! Why do I have to fall that asshole? Why him?Hermione thought while throwing a black shirt and white skirt over her undergarments.
Malfoy bothering you again, love? Thanks for the wake up call.
Hermione jumped at the sudden intrusion, she was still trying to get used to the whole mind sharing thing for now even though the two have become quiet good friends over the past two months. Scared me again. Yes I hate that arrogant prat.
We both know that is a lie because you 'secretly' can't wait until he fucks you senseless, huh?
Hermione turned a bright red and picked up her bag and robes.
Got you speechless? Oh well I know so don't even try to come up with a lie or an excuse. What happened?
Hermione smiled to herself and closed her door behind her. She walked towards the great hall confining her morning in her new friend.

Hermione walked into the great hall and skirted to the left. She cast her eyes over to the Gryffindor table where she saw Harry and Ginny sitting next to each other. Ron had just pulled Luna over to the other two.
Draco walked in next, glanced over at her and nodded before walking on.
You really look lovely, love, but I think you should put on your robes. Hermione smiled to herself and walked over to her three dear friends and Luna. She put down her bag and pulled on her robes receiving a few 'aw mans' form the first years that went red when she smiled at them.
"'Odd-morn'-'Mione." Ron said through gulps of food.
"Good morning honey. Have you still no idea who the mystery guy is?" Ginny asked while patting the seat next to her.
Hermione shook her head and grabbed a piece of toast before whispering her morning to Harry and Ginny, Ron and Luna was to busy arguing and making up…out. (o.O)
The mail owls started to swoop in dropping parcels in the persons lap and carrying on. Hermione paid no mind because the only way she was keeping in touch with the 'mystery guy' was through her mind. She had not received a bird in two months today and she was perfectly fine with that.
While taking a drink she jumped about ten feet in the air when the bird landed on her shoulder with a thud.
Beautiful love…really.
Piss off! Hermione retorted while taking a note from the bird. She gave him a piece of bacon and opened the letter, reading Just look at him. Give him the sudden chance. He never would hurt you, and he has yet to look away from you. Love knows no boundaries, Hermione. He would never miss a chance to make you shine.-never missing a thing you do me, him. Hermione looked up from the letter and to Draco and let the last two lines run through her mind.
Who do you think it is? Draco asked while raising an eyebrow.
The only person I have wanted. Hermione thought giving him a sweet smile.
Well you got another owl coming….
Right then another owl swooped down and dropped two roses on her plate with a note that read, Sorry I forgot these-never missing a thing you do me, him. Hermione looked over a Draco again, smiling she looked over at the door and then back to Draco. He nodded and waited until she excused herself before following suit.

"Harry, Ron, Luna! I think his plan worked!" Ginny squealed excitedly before kissing Harry's cheek.
"Good maybe she will smile more now." Luna said while squeezing Ron's hand.
Ron shrugged and looked down at his plate frowning.
"C'mon Ron…Hermione has always been there for us. Even if we don't like the arrogant prat doesn't mean we wont be nice…just for her sake." Harry said while looking at Ron pointedly.
"Yea honey and plus, 'we don't know a thing'" Luna said.
"Alright! Alright! As long as I don't have to be his new best mate." Ron mumbled and kissed Luna's forehead.
"Thank you sweetie, take me to class?" Luna smiled when Ron took her bag, his bag, and her hand.
Ginny and Harry shared a face of disgust, "Harry dear take me to class?" Harry and Ginny fell into hysterics.
"But seriously Harry…you are being a real friend to her." Ginny said happily. Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and asked, "Do you think it will last? She is just so smart."
"Yea she is really smart…I don't know I guess we will find out, huh?"
"That we will Ginny."
"Love you Harry!" Ginny called while walking into Flitwick's room.
"You love too." Harry called back before running off toward the dungeons.

A silent conversation
-RING-RING-
"Why couldn't you have just told me?" Hermione softly asked avoiding Draco in the abandon class room he led her to.
"I thought you would have laughed at me." Draco admitted, "I am not too good with words and sometimes when I start to talk I just keep rambling and I didn't know how you felt and…."
"Oh…well you know now and…."
"Yes, I feel the same way. But when you started to hangout with Weasel and Potty I knew I didn't even stand a chance and then I started to lie to myself, like it would help me, and I told myself that I didn't need you and that I could just have anyone I wanted and who I didn't have had a real problem and then I saw you everyday and I knew that even at age twelve when I told myself that I was just lying and I wasn't getting anywhere with it and then I found out that me and you would be sharing dorms for out position and I got really excited and thought of this little ole necklace," Draco reached out his hand to grab the necklace from where it lay. "And I thought it was a great plan but you saw right through it and figured it out and you are just really smart and-"
Hermione reached her right hand up and placed her finger on his lips, "Okay…you do ramble…a lot! Do I make you nervous? I am not the smart one you are Malfoy…it is all you. I wouldn't have ever thought some one cared enough to even try and tell me that they liked me…a lot and to be frank, I wouldn't have ever thought that Draco Malfoy even looked at me twice."
"I don't…Hermione I never look away from you." Draco said sweetly while pushing a blushing Hermione up and receiving kiss in return. Hermione, remembering the bell, broke away and looked at the ground.
Draco looked at her confused and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Um…Malfoy…the bell rang about five minuets ago." Hermione said matter-of-factly.
Draco smiled at her, a real smile, and kissed her forehead, "Damn you are smarter than I thought…no funny business, huh?"
Hermione playfully punched him before running out of the room towards the dungeons. Draco smiled and took off after her.
xSxCx
"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger? Are you two deaf to the bell?" Snape's diacritical voice filled the room.
Hermione froze in her steps and turned to look at her Professor. "Professor…we…were…."
"We did hear the bell but we needed to discuss a punishment for a fellow student that decided to break on of the rules in front of me and her to see if he could be part of there little gang." Draco stated calmly…for he was highly skilled at Occlumlency so he wasn't really worried. Don't look at his eyes, love. He can read minds you know.
"I trust you Draco. Just take a seat, we are working in partners and I think that since you and Granger are so eager to spend time together then I say you two can work together." Snape smirked and then returned to torturing more unfortunate souls.
Hermione shifter left and put down her bag before going to gather the required materials needed to make the common sleep potion, soporific, so Draco sat down and pulled out his book to read over the process.
Today will be very long, love. Draco thought while mixing in the dry mint leaves.
Hermione, briefly, placed her hand over Draco's left knee and patted it, then quickly added another vanilla bean.
Yes, Drake it will be.
Draco gave her a sideways glance. Hermione looked away and over towards Pansy to receive a glare.
Drake? Well…love…what shall I call you? I think that I will stick with Herms…does anyone call you that?
No, it is open. Okay well I will only let you call me Herms.
Fair enough, but I am sure love and honey and babe will come out more.
Shockingly enough, Drake you are actually a sweet boy. Not the hard ass front you give off.
Herms I fear I do not know you all to well, you are far more outspoken than I could have ever imagined.
Drake…she keeps staring at you. Hermione frowned at a girl behind his shoulder.
Draco turned to look at who she was staring at and rolled his eyes, Honey…I do seem to be irresistible.
Oh…you wish.
Want to know a secret? A lot of people watch you…men and women. Draco said while raising his eyebrows at Hermione.
Hermione blushed and looked away from him, Why me?
Beauty is a wonderful thing to hold, love. You are brilliant, mysterious, quiet, light, but from the first time we 'met' I have never been able to get you out of my mind. You have always been someone I wanted. Draco answered and threw her a smile.
Hermione rolled her eyes, IF I didn't have the same feelings I would call bullshit. I really don't like the way she is fucking looking at you.
Funny…I look at you that a way all the time. Draco smiled before adding the rest of the dragon tear…immediately the black concoction turned to purple, then to a light blue, and then into a foggy gray. Hermione and Draco both leaned over the potion with their foreheads touching, hoping against hope that the potion would continue to turn colors into the clear white liquid that their Professor had said it should. Ten seconds later the two jumped back in surprise when a loud POP plunged the room into silence. Snape quickly stood and started to stride over to the desk…knowing that one of two things had happened, the sleeping potion either was perfect or it went back to the starting color of black because they added to much dragon tears. As he approached his smirked dropped because he nostrils filled with the strong sent of vanilla mint…only the smell of victory. He looked over the potion and frowned, "This is one of the best soporific potions I have ever seen. 40 points to Slytherin and 10 to Gryffindor."
Oh yeah Drake…we did it! Hermione shared with Draco dusting off her robes
Draco nodded frowning, you are missing thirty points.
Nah I have you Drake. Hermione said before breaking into hysterics Draco followed suit and then stood to pick up his book.
-RING-RING-
Hermione grabbed her book and bottled up a vile of their potion she wrote Draco Malfoy + Hermione Granger on the side and gave it to Draco for him to take up there. She finished cleaning up and then turned to leave.
Wait love?
Hermione turned around and looked at him, shook her head, smiled and took off for Ginny and Ron. Draco watched her go and sighed wearily before grabbing his bag.
