Now that the boy was gone, Hermione felt the need to talk about why Malfoy was actually here.
"Malfoy, I know you said that you rented this flat...apartment from Mundungus, but that can't really be true. They sent you to spy on me didn't they?" She asked him straight forwardly, hoping to catch the real answer in his expression. But that didn't happen, he looked slightly confused but then his countenance hid any befuddlement.
"No, granger I came because I need to get away from the magic world." He didn't sound overly enthusiastic about the need to leave, but she couldn't help but feel the honesty in his words.
"Why would Mundungus rent us both the same room," she whispered to herself.
Without skipping a beat Malfoy answered with disgust in his voice: "because he's a good for nothing scoundrel that deserves muggle torture!"
Okay, she thought to herself. That is true, if I ever get my hands on that thieving idiot I'll preform an illegal curse!
"Want to help me finish my Chinese food?" She called out to him, "after we finish we can find you a hotel room or something."
Malfoy walked over to the kitchenette, "I'm not leaving."
Hermione stopped chewing, "what do you mean you're not leaving, you cant stay here, there is only one room!" As if that could change the slytherin's mind.
"I paid just as much as you did, I'm staying. If you want you can pack your bags and leave. But I will not be forced to leave my fortress of solitude."
Hermione couldn't help but laughing, "did you just make a reference to a muggle superhero?"
"Yes I did, now hurry up and eat because I want to sleep soon and I will not have you screwing that up for me as well. First you accuse me of murder, and then of being a liar, and now you want me to be sleep deprived. Woman, if I didn't know better I'd say that you're in cahoots with Fletcher and are trying to drive me insane."
Wait a minute…."we are not sharing the bed!" she stormed off into the bedroom.
"I don't care where you're sleeping mud..Granger, but I'm taking the right side of the bed." And with that, he slipped his shoes off and tucked his head under the covers. And Hermione took a blanket and a pillow and flopped onto the lumpy couch.
