Something Real {Dramione} (#Wattys2017)

Chapter 3: Moving In

  The common room was so spacious. It was a round room with three doors on the back wall.
Hermione walked into the one on the left and Draco walked into the one on the right. She looked around the room admiring the general splendor when her eyes landed on a trunk that was clearly not hers. She heard a shuffle behind her and she turned around. Draco stood with his arm against the doorway.

  "I think this is my room." He said with a half-hearted smirk.

  Slowly he walked toward her and stopped short, just a few feet from the girl. "I would like if you would leave." He said with a sneer.

  "Sorry" she mumbled rolling her eyes to herself, she nodded and left to check the other room.

  Entering the room on the right, she was greeted by a room similar to Draco's. The room was spacey. There was a window with cushions under it. In the middle of the room there was a four poster queen sized bed.
The bed had a plain cover with some detailing on the sides and 4 pillows with a pretty rose print. A big portion of the room was taken up by a fire place that sat on the wall in front of the bed. It sat sandwiched between two built-in bookcases that were itching to be filled.

  After taking in the room, Hermione's eyes rested on her trunk that laid untouched at the end of the bed. A small note sat on top.

"Ms. Granger. Welcome to your quarters for this year. If you have any questions or need anything there is a bell on you bedside table. I assume you know how to get down to the kitchens. There are towels in the bathroom. Also feel free to use the Prefects bathroom on the 5th floor at your leisure. I have given Mr. Malfoy the same note as well.
Enjoy and please take this job with high regard.
Headmistress McGonagall"

  Turning the note in her hand, she put the note down and opened her trunk. Starting with her books, she began placing them on the empty shelves, turning each one carefully before placing them.

She hung up her robes and school uniforms as well as 3 dresses and tucked the other pieces of clothing in the drawers that were in the closet.

  There was another door that she had yet not opened. She opened the door and saw it was the bathroom. Draco's door was open as well, so she assumed he saw they had a joint bathroom. It had two sinks and a toilet tucked away in a separate little room next to the bathtub.

  Hermione curiously passed through to Draco's room and found him unpacking his things as well. Draco's room looked like hers but had plain white accents instead of roses. He had filled up his bookshelves as well and was putting his clothing away.

  "Can I help you? " he said without looking at her.
"No. I'm just watching." She replied.

  There was a pause of silence as he continued to put away his clothing.

  "Do you know what our duties are?" I asked.
"No. I'm going to finish unpacking and then go to bed. I assume McGonagall will give us duties when she needs us. Go to bed Hermione. Don't worry about it." He said quite dismissively.

  "Okay, um, goodnight Draco." She said and walked back through the shared bathroom.

  Hermione pulled her troublesome curls into a knot, changed into a sheer spaghetti strap shirt and sleep shorts and got under the covers. She sat there for a minute thinking about all that happened that day.

  This is my last year here. A place that became my home. That made me happy. This is where I found myself. Where I found my friends. I'm not ready to say goodbye. And Draco. He is undoubtedly attractive, but he's not someone I would date. But he's attractive. Stupid Hermione. Stop being so clingy and dramatic. He's still the annoying prick he was before, why would he be any different? But what if we did? He's hot. STOP. Think about someone else. Someone who will really care about you to date. His personality isn't good so I shouldn't focus on making him notice me. I should focus on my studies and my real friends.

  And with that last thought, She drifted off to sleep.
