[Draco and Hermione] Catch Me When I Fall

~THREE~

Chapter 3

She opened her eyes and yawned, stretching out in the bed and wiped the sleep from her eyes. She'd had a restless night of tossing and turning and even at one point crying in her sleep.

She looked around the room, wondering for a moment where she was before the previous nights recollection came back to her.

'Great. I'm in Malfoy's bed... god that sounds so wrong,' she mumbled to herself as she climbed out of bed and saw the chest of draws with a mirror near the door.

She walked over and looked in the mirror, screwing her nose up at the sight of herself. Her eyes were puffy and red from where she had cried herself to sleep and her hair was a bushy mess as well as having tear stained mascara running down from her eyes.

'Oh gross!' She muttered as she looked around front her wand, finding it sitting on top of her large duffel bag which was by the bed.

She picked it up and swished it at her hair which fixed itself into gentle curls and not the bushy mess that looked like she had stuck her finger in a light socket.

Next she fixed her face as her eyes became normal and not like she'd had a reaction to something.

'Better,' she said as she exited the room and headed straight into the lounge, seeing Draco sitting on the couch with a copy of the daily prophet in his hands.

'Morning Granger,' Draco said without looking up from the paper. 'Enjoy sleeping with me?'

'What!' Hermione exclaimed as Draco smirked and put the paper down on his legs so he could look at her. 'Well you did sleep in my bed which does happen to smell like me so...'

'Do you have to be such a disgusting pig all the time Malfoy!' Hermione states as Draco laughs and points to the kitchen behind him.

'There's coffee in the pot or if your a tea drinker then it's next to the kettle.' Draco replied as he picked up the daily prophet and began reading it once again.

Hermione groaned as she walked into the kitchen and saw Draco had already left a mug out for her. He'd also sat two pieces of bread in the toaster ready to go and left the Butter and the jam out.

She looked at the pot of coffee and screwed her nose up, she wasn't much of a coffee drinker but today she felt she'd need it.

She looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 8am. She had an hour to get ready and head into the ministry.

Pouring herself a coffee as she cooked her toast and buttered it once it popped. She drank her hot coffee and ate in silence before rinsing her plate and cup and sitting them upside down on the bench to dry.

Just as she was about to go and get dressed she heard Draco speak.

'Granger, you um, you might want to read this?' She looked at him from the kitchen as he got up from the couch and walked over to the other side of the bench, sitting the paper down and spinning it in front of her.

There she saw the headline.

Ron Weasley cheats on Hermione Granger.

'What!' Hermione exclaimed as she grabbed the paper and began reading it, not even noticing that Draco was now beside her also reading the article.
