A/n: Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I had two tests to study for and a hockey game. I hope you like this chapter!

The next morning the sky outside was bright blue, and no clouds were in sight. There was a slight breeze that made the day feel a little cooler. Hermione sat up in the bed about three hours before the meeting with Draco. She climbed out of bed and decided to take a bath in the prefects bathroom. Once she was there she filled the giant bathtub with water and a lot of other special things that came from the dozen other spouts.

Hermione slid down into the water and breathed in deeply as the warm water hit her body. She swam a few laps and then sat down near the edge of the water. She was worn out from the last few days of vigorous studying with Draco and fighting with Ron. Her stomach was tense with nervousness and something else she could not place. She wasn't exactly sure why she felt this way. She stayed in the bath longer than she usually would but she had been stressed out this week and she needed time to unwind before another long studying session with Draco.

Once she was done she pulled herself out of the bath tub somewhat unwillingly. She dried herself off and quickly put her school robes on. She pointed her want at her hair and it blew it dry. It soon adopted its normal look of brown and bushy.

She tucked her wand in to the waist of her skirt, stepped in to her shoes and walked back to the Gryffindor common room. Harry was sitting on the couch with Ginny and they were conversing quietly. Hermione went over to them to talk before going down to the great hall for breakfast.

"Hi Harry, hi Ginny." Hermione smiled at both of them. "Are you guys going down to breakfast soon?"

"Yeah, we're just waiting for Ron to come down. He was still snoring when I came down."

"Oh great, do you mind if I just sit with you guys while we wait for Ron?"

"Sure, hopefully he'll be down soon." Hermione sat on the other side of Ginny.

They waited for fifteen minutes and there was still no sight of Ron. Hermione was growing antsy because she had to meet Draco in forty-five minutes. She stood up and told Harry and Ginny that she was going to go down to breakfast, she was sick of waiting. She pulled her hair back into a bun as she walked down to the great hall because it was hanging in her face and annoying her.

She walked in to the great hall and sat down by herself at the edge of the Gryffindor table. She again only pulled toast towards herself. Slowly she chewed her toast trying to take as much time as she could. By the time that she had finished eating her toast Harry and Ginny were finally down but Ron was still absent from their presence.

Hermione waved goodbye to Ginny and Harry as she was leaving to go back up to the dormitory to collect books for studying. It took no time at all to get the books. She hurried to the prefect common room. Once she got in the room she found that Draco was already sitting down on the couch. He looked unhappy.

"Hi," Hermione smiled at him.

"Hi," Draco did not return her smile. "Can we just get this done with?"

"Sure, I know you want to get to Hogsmeade as soon as possible."

"Pansy and I had a big fight. I'm not going anymore, I just want to go back to the dungeons."

"Oh, well I'm sure you guys will make up. I mean you guys were finally together." Hermione felt very bad for mentioning Hogsmeade now.

"No, I'm not sure if we're very good together."

"OK why don't we just get started."

"Thanks," Draco sighed and pulled the Transfiguration book out from his bag.

"We're just going to practice the spell today. We don't want you to get all hairy in the next exam." She laughed and again conjured up a mirror in front of his face.

"What do you want me to do this time?" He looked in the mirror and shook the hair from his eyes.

"I want you to give yourself a black handlebar mustache." She giggled at the thought of this.

"Oh God," He rolled his eyes and then pointed his wand above his upper lip. This time he at least got a mustache but it looked more like a shoe brush and it was gray.

"You look like an old man." Hermione was laughing again.

"I do," Draco began to laugh with her. They laughed for awhile and when they stopped both of them were holding their sides.

"Better, but not perfect yet." She waved her hand and the mustache vanished. She had not realized that she could have so much fun with a Slytherin especially not this one. But she had to admit she was enjoying the time she had been spending with him. "Let's have another go."

"OK, I promised I'll get it soon." His eyes were determined.

"Try the same one again." He nodded and concentrated very hard.

In a few seconds a black handlebar mustache appeared above Draco's upper lip. He took the mirror in his hands and admired his handiwork. Hermione clasped her hands together and let out a cheer. She leaned over to him and gave him a hug.

"That was brilliant!" Hermione spoke in to his ear.

When Hermione hugged Draco found himself hugging her back. He wanted to continue hugging her but he let go not wanting it to be awkward. Soon after he let her go there was a thump next to one of the chairs. Draco could have sworn he saw an ankle, but it was gone the next moment.

"Can I try again?" He asked.

"Sure, um try turning your right eyebrow purple again." She was slightly embarrassed about her hugging him, but Draco did not look mad so she let it go.

"OK, I can do it." He pointed his wand at his right eyebrow. It turned a neon shade of purple.

"Good, I think we can be done for today. One Tuesday we can start something new." Hermione placed her books back on her lap and got ready to leave.

"Do you want to go down to Hogsmeade? We could grab a drink at the Hogs Head. It's not the nicest place, but no one either of us knows will be in there."

After a few moments of hesitation Hermione smiled, "Sure, I'd love to. It can be a victory drink."
