Just want to give a quick apology for posting the chapters really late. Writers block keeps coming to me every time I try to write so.. yeah sorry ~ The story will be going back to Hermione's POV like always :)

The sparkling sun seeped through the curtains as I woke up to the sound of chirping birds. I lifted up one eyelid gently, and tried to sit upright on my bed. The only problem was it wasn't my bed. I checked my surroundings, completely unaware of where I was. I heard a shuffle of movements beside me and turned to see none other than Draco Malfoy sleeping graciously in… no… shirt…

Then I remembered the night before. My heart sped up faster, skipping a beat every few seconds. No.. it can't be. I-I was just drunk, yes that's it. Except I was completely sober the whole time. Oh Merlin… what have I gotten myself into? Slowly I picked myself up from the bed and began lifting my feet off the bed. Once I've finally done so, I'm about to take off but a sudden hand pulls me back into the bed. My eyes widen up with shock as Draco's arms wrap around me tightly. He starts to murmur quietly. I strain my ears to try make out what he's saying.

"Hermione…."

This is all too surreal. I shake his shoulder gently to wake him up. Draco opens his eyes groggily, still murmuring my name. Suddenly, his eyes snap wide open.

"Hermione?!"

"Er… yeah, good morning… I guess." This couldn't be more awkward.

Draco looks at me up and down then does his infamous Malfoy smirk. "Hermione… you're…."

I look down at myself and shriek. I was only wearing my bra and underwear. My face turned into the colour of beetroot as I turned away sharply. Draco chuckled.

"You're wearing nothing as well Malfoy." I snapped.

"Back to a last name basis, are we?" I didn't reply.

"And besides," he continued, "I always go to bed like this. It's natural. You on the other hand –"

I cupped my hand to his mouth immediately. Draco found himself amused.

"Not another word about this, okay?" I said, as threatening as I could.

Draco nodded and I immediately lifted my hand off his mouth.

"I'm going to go wash up. Luckily, it's a Saturday otherwise we'd both be late for classes. I know how much you care about your education," Draco remarked with a wink. I scoffed.

"Bloody git." I muttered under my breath.

"That's not what you called me last night," Draco teased while strolling into the bathroom.

"Draco!" I shrieked, chucking a pillow at the closing door .

Sighing, I got dressed into last night's attire while listening to him chortle behind the white wooden door.

I walked into the dining hall for breakfast as nonchalantly as I could. Luckily, no one saw me creep out from the Slytherin dorms. I strolled over to the table Harry and Ginny were sitting at and slowly took my place.

"Hermione, where were you last night? I didn't hear you come in," Ginny asked.

A feeling of shock washed over me but I quickly covered it with a smile. "I got caught up in the library last night and didn't come in until late."

"Typical 'Mione," Harry joked.

The dining hall doors opened a few seconds later and revealed Draco ambling his way through to the Slytherin tables. He locked eyes with our table and gave me a wink before settling for a cup of OJ and some toast. I blushed ferociously behind my golden locks. Ginny nudged me in the ribs roughly.

"Wow Hermione, you haven't blushed like that before. Malfoy's rubbing off on you good huh?" Ginny taunted. A second later, she replaced her smirk with a face of disgust. "Actually I don't want to know what Malfoy's been rubbing on you." She poked her tongue out.

"Ginevra Weasley!" I slapped her hard on the shoulders.

Ginny rubbed her shoulder and pouted. Then we both started giggling uncontrollably. Harry looked up from where he was sitting and stared at us curiously.

"Gin, 'Mione, you two okay there?"

"Yes," we both said in unison before cracking up laughing again.

The dining hall doors opened once more and revealed a grumpy Ron Weasley slumping around with a hunched back. He walked over to our table with a forced smile. No smiles were returned.

"Hey guys," Ron said. "Ginny, Harry, Hermione. How are you guys?"

Ginny scowled before returning back to her breakfast and Harry just gave a brief nod.

Ron turned away sharply, and looked for another place to sit. Lavender grabbed this chance immediately to get her Won-Won back into her arms.

"Won-Won!" She cried out, while ushering him to the seat next to hers.

Ginny scowled again. "Bloody git." She muttered under her breath.

"Ginny, he's your brother!" I said.

"Yeah and you're my sister. Nobody hurts my sister."

I smiled at her comforting words. Harry piped up and joined into our conversation.

"Yeah Gin's right, Mione," he said. "Ron shouldn't have called you that. He's always so short-tempered."

"You know Hermione, I know something that will cheer you up," Gin said.

"Oh?" I was surprised then saw Ginny's nasty smile. "On second thought, I'm not really sure I want to know now…."

Ginny cackled. "Oh hush you. Right after you left, Draco managed to give Ron a major beating. He punched him hard, big time." A light blush crept up to my cheeks.

Ginny continued. "To others, it seemed like it gave Malfoy a good excuse to beat him up for the past year, but we know better, don't we Harry?"

Harry looked up from his food. "Hm? Oh um, yeah." I knew he was trying to stifle a laugh.

"Guys….." I groaned. Gin and Harry laughed at my embarrassment.

"Well come on then, it's a Saturday. How about we head out to Hogsmeade for the day?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah okay."

"Great," Ginny said. "Meet at the Three Broomsticks within an hour or so." Ginny and Harry looked at each other unsteadily and I raised my eyebrow.

"Um Hermione…. Don't you have to return those books you borrowed from the library a few nights ago?" Ginny asked.

"Oh shoot! I do!" I jumped out from the table and started jogging my way out of the hall. "See you guys later!"

Normal POV:

As Hermione left the dining hall in a hurry, Harry turned to Ginny, who had a huge smile across her face.

"Alright Ginny, what are you planning this time?" Harry asked, while eyeing his girlfriend carefully.

"We're not the ones who are meeting Hermione later."

"What?" Harry was baffled.

"Just watch and you'll get my drift." Ginny said.

Then she waved her hand over at the Slytherin table, which was nearly empty.

"Oi Malfoy, over here!"
