The next morning Draco woke up to find Hermione's head alarmingly close to his and with the quilt over both of them. He hastily got up and went to shower.
Hermione woke up with half her body on Draco's side of the bed, and Draco was nowhere to be seen. She heard water running in the bathroom and guessed he was taking a shower. She got all her clothes ready, packed her school bag, and placed her wand next to it. Draco was still in the bathroom. How long does it take to shower?! He takes longer than a girl!
After waiting a few more minutes, Hermione had had enough.
She banged on the door and yelled, "MALFOY!"
No reply. Hermione sighed exasperatedly. She banged again.
"Get out of the shower now! I want to have a shower before class and it's hard to do when you're HOGGING THE BATHROOM!" Hermione screamed. She heard the water stop running and the lock unclick.
Finally. She pushed past him and slammed the door in his face. She stepped into the shower, turned the knob and the water poured out over her body, she washed her hair and body, then stepped out of the shower and reached for her wand, which she realised with dismay was still sat by her school bag. She glanced at her watch. Unfortunately breakfast was nearly over, she didn't have time to dry herself normally, plus she hadn't brought a towel in with her. There was only one thing she could do.
"Malfoy!" she yelled through the locked door. She listened carefully, praying he was still in the room.
"What?!" Draco called back angrily, "I'm out of the bathroom, what more can you possibly want!"
"I need my wand! I left it on the bed by my school bag. If I open the door and stick my hand out can you pass it to me?" Hermione asked, unlocking and opening the door only enough to let her hand slip between the frame and the door. Draco smirked to himself then grabbed the wand off the bed and walked over to the door where Hermione's hand was waving around in thin air as if trying to grab something that wasn't there. Draco held her hand still and gently placed the wand in her hand.
"Here," he said simply before the door snapped shut.
"Thank you!" replied a muffled voice now behind the door. Hermione dried herself using her wand and quickly used it to dry her hair and she tied it up in a bobble without even brushing it. She got into her robes and walked out into the room where Draco was sat casually on the bed waiting for her.
"Want to go and get some breakfast?" Draco asked.
"Sure. Just let me grab my bag." Hermione replied, both of them silently signing a pact not to mention last night. They walked out of their room at the same time as Ginny and Blaise walked out of theirs, holding hands. Hermione raised her eyebrows at Ginny but she just winked back.
That day was one of the rare days where she had a lesson without Draco sitting next to her. However, she did have Blaise, who was keen to keep up the tradition of irritating her to death, roommates or not. Unfortunately, this year he could annoy her from her own table.
"So-" He said with smirk,"What's going on between you and Draco?"
"We're getting married...surprise!" Hermione said rolling her eyes with exaggerated sarcasm.
"Please, don't treat me like an idiot. I know something is going on...so what is it?" He said in response.
"I don't know, there's nothing to tell really, we just made a truce," she said shrugging her shoulders in an offhand manner.
"Yeah, I know about that. Ginny told me," Blaise said answering Hermione's questioning look. A grin curved up one side of his mouth when he mentioned Ginny, which made Hermione smile.
