Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Soooo. I wanted to get those out to you guys. If my chapters take forever, don't hate me. Writing is very hard, especially if you are like me, and when you get in a block you just make a new story and forget about you other ones. DON'T JUDGE MEEEE! Anyhoo.. thanks for your comments, thank you for reading! That last chapter was one of my favs. Now I'm going to try and restrain myself and not post every minute with my books. So I'm going to post whenever I get lots and lots of reviews. Let's hope this goes well…

Chapter 6

Hermione felt much better the next day. Granted, she was up half the night thinking about Draco, and what a great kisser he was. She fell asleep with dreams filled with him and what they could do.

It was not the same with Draco. As much as he loved kissing Hermione, but he was haunted by what had happened to her. The fact that his house leader had raped a student astounded him. Draco had always looked up to Snape as a role model, and he was doing the same with Covurn, but now he couldn't look at him. Draco was up half of the night, his head filled with nightmares of Hermione's screams.

Hermione went down to the Great Hall for breakfast with everyone else. Walking to her table, she noticed Covurn sitting at the teachers table with a smug look on his face. He caught her looking at him and put his index finger to his lips.

She quickly looked away and saw Draco looking worriedly at her. She took reassurance in the fact he was looking out for her. He lifted up his wand at she just about screamed at him. He said he wouldn't do anything rash.

He flicked his wand at the table and Covurn started to float. He was half-way to the ceiling when Draco let his concentration slip. He put out a mattress and Professor Covurn landed with a thump.

The entire school erupted with laughter. Hermione shot a glance and Draco, who was smiling at her. She mouthed 'thank you' and he mouthed 'no problem'. Then she sat down to eat.

They all left the Great Hall, still talking about who could have made Professor Covurn levitate. Only two people knew, and they intended to keep that a secret. Then she had an idea. "Harry,"

"Yes 'Mione?" he replied.

"Could I use the Marauder's Map?" she asked.

He dug into his robes and pulled an old piece of parchment. He handed it to her and she gave him a hug. She looked through the crowed and found Draco. She pictured the corner that she ran to the other night. She ran to him, the corner pictured clearly in her mind, and grabbed him still running and apparated before anyone could turn their heads.

They appeared behind the statue and crashed into the wall from the momentum that they had.

"Oof," he crashed in to the wall with Hermione pushing him into it.

"Sorry," she smiled at him. He bent down and kissed her gently. "I have an idea." She said when he pulled away.

"This ought to be good."

She pulled out her wand and pointed at the map. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." She whispered. Draco raised his eyebrows at her and she pointed at the map. He saw maroon ink spread across the parchment as the floor they were on was depicted. She looked at the map and her eyes widened. She pushed them farther into the shadows until Draco was holding her in his arms. Professor Covurn walked pass the statue with a cross expression on his face.

When he had turned the corner, Hermione let out her breath. "How did you know he was coming?" Draco asked her.

"This is the Marauders Map. Harry's dad, Sirius, Lupin, and Wormtail made it when they went to school here. It is a map of the entire school, people, and secret passageways. Harry got it from Fred and George in our third year."

"This thing is amazing. I have to give props to him for having his dad be this cool." He smiled.

"Okay, we should be on the fourth floor right?" she asked him.

"As always." She tried her best to hide the blush warming her cheeks.

"Then we have to go up three floors. And this will show us if there are any unwanted people in our way." She looked at the map and pulled Draco to the stairs at their right. They silently ran up the stairs and to the next floor. Hermione looked at the map again and pulled them over to the portrait on their left. "Facta, non verba." The portrait swung open and they climbed in. They climbed up the spiraling stairs until they reached the top. Hermione once again checked the map and they moved across the hallway. She closed her eyes and a door appeared before them. She opened it and they stepped inside.

Draco looked around. The room was fairly large. It had two large closets, a desk, a large bookshelf, a master bathroom through a door on the left, and a large bed.

"Okay, when I said a place for us to meet, I didn't mean a house." She shook her head and explored. She jumped on the bed and looked up. "Oh! Draco come look at this. He walked over to the bed and looked at the top of the Canopy. A sleeping lion and snake, intertwined with each other, was depicted on the top. "I think the room knows who we are." She whispered.

Then curtains magically appeared, gold and red and silver and green. The sheets changed colors, making beautiful ribbons of green and red. The pillows transformed and were embroidered with red g's and green s's. "Hey, maybe the snake is trying to strangle the lion." That received him a smack to the back of the head. "Take a joke Granger." He said with a laugh.

"Meh. You should know that I don't joke much. I'm the bookworm, not the practical joker."

"I never said you had to be the funniest in school, you just have to be someone who can laugh at things, like death."

"I don't know if you know this but I already have laughed at death. So, yeah." She gave a small chuckle.

"Yes, I think we all have." He looked around and got up. He moved to the bathroom and looked in. "Holy shit! How can this thing even fit in the castle?" Hermione walked over and saw it. In the bathroom there was a tub the size of a small lake.

"You can practically swim in that thing." She smirked. She transformed her cloths into a bathing suit. Then she transfigured Draco's cloths into swim trunks.

"Hey what are you-" he couldn't finish before she pushed him in.

She delicately walked to the edge and dived into the warm water. Popping back up to the surface, Draco admired Hermione. With her hair back and wet, and her bathing suit not hiding anything. Her curves just the right proportions, he wondered what else these school-girls were hiding, and he was mad. Share awesomeness with the world dammit! He thought to himself.

Hermione caught him staring at her. "What?"

He ducked under the water and tugged on her legs. She took a breath as he pulled her under. She looked around and found him looking at her again. He swam over and grabbed her waist, pulling her close to him he pressed his lips to hers in an underwater kiss. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and they kissed until he pulled them up, gasping for air when they reached the surface.

He coughed and looked at her. "Please slap me across the face if I try to do that again." She laughed at him and he smiled. "Oh, so she does have a sense of humor in that skull of hers."

"Oh shut up!" she stared at him and brushed his hair out of his face. She kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. They floated like that for a while until Hermione broke away. "We should get out now." She swam to the edge of the water and pulled herself out. Draco followed suit and got out with her. Towels had appeared on the counter and they each grabbed one. They dried off quickly and tranfugured back into their robes.

They walked back into the main room and Hermione ran to the bed. She jumped onto it and curled into a small ball, exhausted from their swim. Draco transfigured them into cotton PJ's and walked calmly over to to the bed and lay down next to her. He grabbed her and pulled her close, wanting for her to never leave his side again.
