Hermione and Draco could hear the cheerful voices of full stomached students and started to panic.
"Oh no! If you get caught in here we both could get detention! I cannot have detention! I just can't!" Hermione was pacing frantically before Draco grabbed her.
"Okay first calm down. Breathe in and out." He moved his hands back and forth imitating the rise and fall of the stomach when you breathe. Hermione did what he said and calmed down. "Now, I'm just gonna have to stay here for the night or until everyone is fast asleep. Which ever you prefer of course." He smiled then started to panic with the look he gave next.
"Okay well we have no time to debate about it, come with me."Hermione grabbed his hand and sprinted to her bedroom with Draco attached to her.
"Whoa! Your going to have to slow down or I'll fall all the way back down the stair case!" Draco smirked. He could see Hermione getting frustrated and liked seeing her getting flustered.
"Well take it like a man! For goodness sake you should be able to keep up!" Hermione snapped back sarcastically.
They had finally reached Hermione, Pavarti, and Lavender's bedroom. It was one of the bigger rooms out of all the others. The walls were covered with pictures of models and posters of Victor Krum which was very hard for Hermione to see everyday since the two had a history. Lavender and Pavarti had put bright pink and yellow curtains on their four poster beds instead of the traditional red and gold ones; the girls tried to convince Hermione to get some of the same curtains but she was too stubborn to. Hermione's side of the room was very her with tons of books under the bed and on the night table. So bland and plain. Of course Hermione didn't distract herself with posters of beautiful people. She usually had the curtains closed so she could have privacy and so she wouldn't have to see Victor staring at her asking why she never came to visit.
Draco looked around astonished about how many things were up on the wall and distracted by the bright pink and yellow.
"Wow! I really like the Krum posters." He joked and pushed Hermione playfully.
"Ha ha you're too hilarious! I'm dying." Hermione gave hime a stern look and then smiled she couldn't stay angry for long.
The couple could hear steps coming up the stairs.
"Now it's time to find a hiding spot."
"Well how about under the covers of your bed with you." He smiled and kissed her soft lips but she pushed him away.
"How about you hide outside hanging on the windowsill." She pushed him towards the window.
"Okay i was only joking!"
"I know I know... Oh no! They are coming closer! Hurry in here!" Hermione opened the curtains to her bed and pushed him inside and she jumped in to.
Pavarti and Lavender came in laughing like hyenas. Lavender was talking about going down and spending time with her "Ronnie-poo". Pavarti laughed at her best friends nicknames. Lavender turned to go back down to the common room while Pavarti decided to give them some privacy.
"Lavender don't stay up too late snogging with your "Ronnie-poo" okay?" Pavarti teased Lavender as she left.
"Shut up! And I won't stay up late. As long as Hermione doesn't get jealous and interrupt." She giggled and tried to make her sound superior to Hermione.
"Mhmm." Hermione cleared her throat to make her presence known.
"Oh Hermione we had no idea you were in here!" Lavender jumped back surprised "Well I'll see you!" She looked down with her cheeks bright red she was embarrassed and felt stupid.
Lavender left and Hermione went back behind the curtains to see Draco snickering to himself. She put her fingers to her lips signaling him to stay quiet and she smiled as well.
"Hermione? Are you alright? I mean I even heard the spat you three had last night from all the way up here.." Pavarti sound sincere. She wasn't like her stuck up best friend.
Hermione came slowly out of the curtains waving her hand behind her to tell Draco to stay back.
"Yes I'm fine thanks. A little shaken about the whole bloody thing but things change right?" She had finally stood up and shrugged her shoulders. "It's not like I really care anyways. I've moved on to bigger and better things." A rustle came from the four poster bed and Pavarti looked suspicious and tried to peek around Hermione to see the bed and who might be there. Hermione had to think of something quick; she shifted her eyes towards the walls, with the Viktor Krum posters, then to the bed as if she were trying to hint something. Pavarti understood and got excited.
"Oh Hermione! He's not here is he?" She pointed to the ground with her index fingers and jumped. Hermione smiled a not-so-obvious smile and Pavarti started to ask questions. "Why is he here?! How?! You didn't you know right? Wow!" So the last one wasn't really a question but Pavarti wanted to express how she felt.
"Pavarti! Of course not but I had to keep him somewhere! We have been writing each other; it's been about two years since we've seen each other last and he just surprised me!"
"Oh how romantic and kind of scandalous. Who knew Hermione Granger could live this kind of life?!"
"Now Pavarti you mustn't tell a soul alright?" She grabbed her roommate's hands and made her promise.
"I promise!" She jumped ten times higher than before.
"Good now if you could please" Hermione flicked her head towards the door to hint that she wanted some privacy.
"Okay I'm leaving. Ugh! Everyone else gets romantic stories first Lavender now you." Pavarti's face dropped she was jealous for once of Hermione. Pavarti finally left and Draco jumped off the bed and picked Hermione off the ground.
"Well, well, well Hermione Granger looks like you are in the scandal of the year!" He let her go and pushed her playfully.
"Yes I am with-" She whispered the last few words so no one below could hear. "Draco Malfoy!"
"Who would've thought?" He grabbed her once again and kissed her long and hard. The soft moist lips pressing on his was a comforting feeling. It was ended to soon with Hermione pulling away.
"I wish this could be easier without the lying and all." Her faced turned into a pained smile thinking about all the lies she had told to her beloved ex-friends. "If only we were older it would be easier. The war would be over and no more worries. I wish we were older." She turned around and hugged herself. She wanted to cry and just break down and let him know how she actually felt.
"It'll be alright. We are here tonight and nobody knows; their words don't mean a single thing. I kind of wish we were older too. It would be nice but let's just be together tonight and not worry about any of it. It's okay to cry even if I'm here. I'll make you feel a lot better." His serious face turned into a big grin. Hermione twirled around and smiled with tears behind her eyes. She ran to him and kissed him three times with a beam.
"Don't cry. I won't let you go." He whispered in her ear as they embraced each other.
"I know you won't" She whispered back. "Now how are we going to work getting you back to your dungeons situation?" They broke apart, grabbed each others hands and sat on the bed.
"How about in the morning I sneak out and get back there quick? I am really too tired to leave." He yawned a fake smug yawn and stretched out on the bed practically pushing Hermione off.
"Well I don't think that would be such a good idea someone could walk in and then who knows what would happen."
"Aw come one. Please." He sat up and whined.
It didn't take Hermione long to cave in to him.
"Fine. But that's it only tonight alright?"
"Of course." He smiled and laid back down but only on a portion of the bed hoping that she would come lay down to. She didn't. She went to the closet and walked inside. A few moments later she came out in her night clothes a pair of baggy blue sleeping pants and a matching long sleeved shirt.
"Now I was thinking i could put a Disillusionment charm on you and you could sleep on something like on extras blankets or whatever." She was folding her school robes bearing the Gryffindor crest while thinking a little too hard.
"I was thinking about just sleeping on your bed." He scooted over a little more and patted a place on the bed for her to sit.
"And where am I suppose to sleep?" She put her hands on her hips and put her weight on her right foor.
"Well, right here next to me." He patted the bed again and this time she came and sat down next to him.
"I don't think that's a good idea-"
"Nothing will happen only sleeping." He yawned stretched and laid down and pulled her back with him.
"I really don't think it's a goo-" She yawned to and it was a big one. Her eyes became droopier.
"Just go to sleep." But before he could even finish that she was fast asleep. He looked at her huddled in his arms sleeping peacefully. He kissed her softly on the forehead she turned even more towards him. He liked her closer to him.
He whispered out loud to himself.
"Now I really wish we were older."
