"BLAISE!" Draco yelled out coming out of the broom closet. "I need we need to talk."
"where do you want to talk?" Blaise replied.
They walked slowly in the direction of the head common room talking, "so you called her a Mudblood?" Blaise questioned in a criticizing tone.
"I wasn't trying to offend her. I just didn't want anyone to know I was snogging filth." Draco answered innocently.
"Well, mate. That is kinda offensive." Blaise sounded very amused. "and besides, who cares if you did fuck the bitch; she's hot."
"Shut up," Draco snapped. "Don't look at her like that or I will kill you!"
"Oh, so you really like her?"
"NO! I would kill you because that is vial! You can't look at a Mudblood like that! That is sick! Not to mention a disgrace to the name of wizard," Draco roared.
It was then that Blaise stopped walking and whispered "You really are starting to sound like your father, mate."
At this Draco stopped in his footsteps. 'I am nothing like my father.' He thought 'how could he think I was like him in any way?!'
"No offence, mate." Blaise added quickly.
"None taken." Draco assured him in a very convincing tone. If there was one thing Draco was good at it was lying. "I think I might head off the bed. See you tomorrow for breakfast."
"Yeah night, mate" Blaise nodded heading back down the stair towards the dungeon.
Draco walked for almost 10 minutes until he got to the head common room as he neared the portrait he looked down as saw a peaceful sleeping Hermione curled up asleep in front of the entrance. 'Was she really drunk enough to forget the password to her own dorm?' Draco thought.
With that he looked around to see if anyone was there as he gently scooped Hermione up into his arms. "ravenousness," he whispered the password an the portrait swung open "you know you are very light. Do you ever eat?" Draco asked not really expecting a response. As he reached Hermione's door he turned the door handle and realised it had been locked using a spell. "For the brightest witch of your age you really can be a dumb ass." Draco whispered to her.
Draco thought for a minute 'I could put her down on the couch, that would be the smartest thing to do' once he had stopped thinking he realized he had subconsciously walked to his bedroom. "Well, I guess you are staying here tonight," he told the sleeping girl in his arms as he lowered her into his bed and slowly talking off her shoes before pulling the blanket over her sleeping body.
The next morning when Hermione woke up she slowly opened her eyes and realised she was cuddled up to a shirtless Draco Malfoy… she quickly shot up and looked around the room, it was much bigger than her room and darker too. It was complete with a Slytherin bed cover and silver silk sheets. "What the fuck?!" she shouted.
Draco's eyes quickly shot open. "Hey calm down," he said in a sleepy voice. "Your room was locked so I put you into my bed."
Hermione quickly thought this over in her head. "We just slept?" he asked nervously.
"No Hermione, we had vicious rough sex all night long," he remarked sarcastically. "Trust me Granger, if we fucked you would not have forgotten it," he winked.
Hermione slowly pulled herself out of bed trying to remember the activities of the night and looked for she shoes.
"Your shoes are under the bed I think." Draco answered even though Hermione hadn't said what she was looking for.
"Oh, thank you." She said politely before sitting on the end of Draco's bed. "I really am grateful for what you did; letting me stay here I mean."
Draco turned to face her "you need my help, I wouldn't leave you there, Hogwarts might be one of the safest places in the wizarding world but rape can still happen." He said in a matter of face voice.
"You know, you have changed since-"
"Since my dad went to Azkaban." Draco finished for her with a cold voice.
Hermione stayed quiet for a minute before whispering "Do you miss him?"
"Not really much to miss. I only ever saw him when he wanted something." He said sadly, and then quickly changed the subject. "Let's go down to the Great Hall and eat."
"Sure, I think I might shower first." Hermione said gently.
Draco nodded and got out of bed. "Lock the door" he chuckled.
Hermione giggled. "Why, are you planning on walking in?"
After her shower Hermione walked in to the living area of the Dorm looking for Draco, he wasn't there, instead there was a note, it read;
See you in potions
-Draco
Hermione stopped and thought for a second; she had potions with Slytherins first. She couldn't help but laugh.
As she skipped down to the Great Hall she saw Harry.
"Hey 'Mione." He said awkwardly.
"hey." She smiled. "What's up with you?"
"Ginny told me about the game of Lust and Love." Harry blurted out.
"WHAT?!" Hermione screeched. "That bitch! She promised me she wouldn't tell!"
"Please don't be mad at her!" Harry begged. "Please 'Mione." After a short moment of silence harry finally said "I think you should back out of the game."
"What?" Hermione was offended. "You don't think I could do it?"
"That's not what I was saying, Hermione! I just think it is stupid that you are so willing to give your virginity to ferret face just to win a bet!"
"Harry listen; I'm not going to sleep with him and even if I did it would be none of your business. You are my best friend but my sex life is none of your concern"
Harry sighed "I just want you to know that I love you, you are my best friend Hermione." Harry looked up at her "If you want to chicken out of the game I will tell Slughorn I love him. You won't have to embarrass yourself"
Hermione looked at him for what felt like hours before slamming into his body and hugging him as tight as she could "I love you too Harry. But I need to do this." Hermione whispered. "Please don't tell anyone."
"I don't believe in what you are doing but okay. If this is going to make you happy I won't tell a soul." He murmured into her hair.
Hermione slowly pulled back "not even Ron?" she asked slowly.
"Especially not Ron." he chuckled. "Now let's go eat."
"NOW CLASS! TODAY WE WILL BE PUT IN TO A SEATING ARANGMENT!" Sluhorn shouted. "Gryffindor and Slytherin's together, this is to encourage house unity!"
Hermione shifted awkwardly where she stood 'oh god, oh god! Not this again! Last time I had to work with a slytherin Pansy Parkinson tipped our poison all over me!'
"WEASLEY! You will be next to Pansy; front row." Slughorn shouted. 'thank god!' Hermione thought.
"Lavender you and Crab." He shouted next.
Almost the whole class had been placed when he yelled Hermione's name "Granger, I trust you can sit up the back with Draco and not argue too much?" Slughorn frowned " I wouldn't pair you together under normal circumstances but Head Boy and Girl need to get along"
As she sat down she felt warm breath on the back of her neck. "Well, this is going to be fun," Draco's voice came from behind her, and without even looking at him she knew he was smiling.
