As I said before, I do not own anything in the world of HP. I hope you have been enjoying the story so far. Please feel free to submit reviews, I would love to know what you think of it so far.

HPOV

Hermione walked out of Draco's bedroom to find Ginny and Blaise sitting on the biggest couch she had ever seen.

Ginny was smiling ear to ear and she looked truly happy. This is the happiest Hermione had seen her in a long time. The war had taken its effects on everyone, Ginny included. She lost her brother in the most horrendous way possible. And the man that she was in love with for years, Harry, was no longer himself. The war had ruined him. He could never get over how many lives were lost because of Voldemort.

It was sad really. Hermione and Harry didn't even talk anymore. He was a shadow of himself. He chose not to talk to her or Ron any longer, and she missed him very much. He was her best friend for years and to have him just cast her away like that, when he needed his friends the most, really hurt the people he cared about. He thought he was doing it for the right reasons, but no one else saw it that way.

"Hey Gin, you ready to head out?" Hermione asked, trying to interrupt the display of affection that was taking place in front of her. GInny jumped and Blaise just chuckled.

" Oh, yeah." She said seeming frazzled. " We can go. Call me later Blaise?" she said in her most flirtatious voice. He nodded and smirked at the gorgeous red head.

" Thanks for taking care of us last night," Hermione said to the men. " I'm glad we had someone that had their wits about them."

" No problem, ladies." Drawled Draco. " And if you are interested in the apartment I mentioned, here is the number for the office in the building." He quickly wrote it down on a piece of parchment, and handed it to Hermione.

"Uh, thank you..." She said. She grabbed Ginny by the arm and escorted her to the door before her and Blaise started doing what they were going to be doing before Hermione interrupted. " Lets go Gin, we have somethings to discuss." And they headed out the door.

Once the door was closed behind them, Ginny started giggling.

" What is so funny?" Hermione asked, a little irritated with her friend.

" You should have seen your face when he talked to you. I couldn't tell if you were going to run, scream or not say anything."

" Well I'm sure if you would have seen my face first thing this morning, you would be rolling on the floor right now. I almost did all three of those things. He was the last person I expected to be waking up with."

"WITH?" Ginny practically screamed as they were entering the elevator.

" Not with, but in the same room. He slept on a cot by the bed."

" Wow, he really has changed." Ginny said mostly to herself.

" How do you mean?"

" Since when do you know Draco Malfoy to put anyone else comfort before his own? Old Draco would have put you in the cot and took the bed for himself before."

She hadn't really thought of that. Maybe he had changed, he seems to have at least. He wouldn't have even let her near him in school, let alone allow her to take his bed and him take the cot. Maybe she was seeing the new and improved Draco.

"I don't know Gin, he does seem different, but do you really trust him?"

" If Blaise says he's changed, I believe him."

" I think if Blaise told you the sky was purple and the grass was orange, you would believe him." That remark just got Hermione a silly grin from her best friend.

" Yeah, probably," she chuckled.

Once the two ladies were outside the apartment complex, they apparated to Ginny's place. Hermione couldn't wait to get the dress off, she felt overly exposed now that it was daylight.

" So, what is this about an apartment being open in Draco's building?" Ginny asked as they changed.

" He had heard about Ron's affair and figured that I wouldn't want to be staying in that apartment, which is correct, and he told me that he knew of an apartment that was available there."

" Did he now?" Ginny asked in a cryptic manner. It was like she was saying something but wasn't all at the same time. Hermione decided to ignore it, her friend was always saying things like that, and it was just better to do so.

" Yeah he says that the price isn't too bad, which I cannot imagine. If any of the other apartments are anything like his, they have to be worth a lot of money."

" Well maybe he knows the owner," Ginny said with a laugh.

" Yeah, maybe. But do I really want his help? After all, how do I really know if he has changed that much? And the possibilities of running into him all the time? That would not be my ideal living situation."

" Well, from what Blaise says, the owner of the building is really a great guy."

" I guess it would beat my current living situation..."

" Hey!" Ginny said in faux indignation. " I will have you know, that couch is the most comfortable couch I have ever owned."

" You know what I am referring to! I cannot go back to living in that apartment, even if I did throw Ron out on his arse. I would always have that image in my mind of him and Lavender in my bed."

" I still cannot believe him. How could he do that to you? I know he's my brother and all, but I am 100% on your side on this."

" Yeah, well he needs to grow up. If I would have known he was so unhappy, then I would have just allowed him to leave. I wasn't the happiest in the relationship either, but you didn't see me sneaking men into our apartment. When I am committed to something, I stick with it."

" Everyone could tell neither of you were happy," Ginny said matter of factly.

"What? Why didn't anyone say anything? One of the reasons I stayed so long, was for everyone. I felt like they pushed us together, and I really wanted you all to be my family."

" We all figured you would come to your senses about Ron. You really are too good for him and he didn't deserve you. All he would do was brag about what he had done during the war and get drunk. All while you worked your butt off to become a healer."

" Well, I wish someone would have said something. I wouldn't have wasted so much of my time on that good for nothing, arse hole."

Ginny decided to change the subject, thankfully. " So when are you going to call on the apartment?"

" I don't think I am going to," replied Hermione. " I wouldn't be able to afford it."

" Well, I know an amazing, talented, beautiful redhead, who would love to get out of her apartment and upgrade to one like that." Ginny said with a smile. " If you would like a roommate that is."

" That would be wonderful! I wonder if the apartment has two bedrooms like Draco's?"

" You will never know if you don't call."

Hermione grabbed her cell phone and dialed the number that was on the parchment. She had a conversation with the manager, and set up an appointment for later that afternoon to look at the vacant apartment.

" Alright," said Ginny after Hermione was off the phone with the man. " I am going to take a shower, then you can jump in next. We can go get some of your stuff from your old place and bring them back here for the time being. Then we can go check out the new place."

While Ginny was in the shower, Hermione grabbed a piece of parchment and sent an owl to Ron.

Ron,

I am staying with Ginny right now. I need to grab some of my stuff. I would appreciated it if you were not there when I arrive to retrieve my things. We will be there in a few hours.

Hermione

Short and concise. She didn't want to be in the same room as him. Ginny came out of the bathroom and told Hermione that she could get in now.

She got up off the couch and went to the bathroom, all the while thinking of how to deal with this thing with Ron. They would have to talk sooner or later, she did own the apartment after all, and they would have to sell it. She was not looking forward to that day.

She stripped down to nothing at all and turned on the shower. Her mind started to wander to the particular blonde she woke up to this morning. He is really good looking, she admitted to herself. She hadn't let herself think about that until that moment. She stepped under the warm spray, her mind still on Draco. His back should be considered a work of art, its so sculpted. And that butt, oh Merlin, that butt, I could just bite it.

She started to feel her hands roaming lower and lower down her body. She met the apex of her legs and slid a finger between its creases. She found that little piece of heaven that was located there and started to rub tiny circles around it. She allowed a small whimper to escape her lips as she thought about what it would be like for him to take her to bed. As she saw this morning, he was well endowed, the boxer briefs left little to the imagination.

She started to feel the tension building in her lower stomach. It was sensational. When she ever did this, she never thought of Ron, it always was someone else. He was so boring in the sack, that it left nothing to want.

The panting started softly and then as her orgasim swept over her, she let out a louder scream. Suddenly, she heard pounding at the door.

"Mione, are you okay? I heard you scream!" Ginny sounded truly scared for her friend.

" Yeah," Hermione panted. " I'm fine. I just slipped a little." That seemed to be a good reasoning, because Ginny left her alone after that. She had never had an orgasim like that before. It was the most intense thing she had ever experienced sexually. Draco Malfoy, apparently, was a sexual trigger for Hermione. She would have to be doing that again really soon.

I hope you all enjoyed this scene. This was my first attempt at writing something like that, so I hope it was okay. Let me know in the review section and I will be back soon with another chapter.
