Hermione dashed down the hall at a rate a racehorse would be jealous of. She turned the corner to see Harry and Claire chatting animatedly in the middle of the hall and smiled.

'Hi guys, I'm in a rush can you move?' She asked sweetly to the both of them. Neither person moved. 'Guys? Please?' She said as she put her body flat out against the wall and moved against Harry and around him.

She shot him a confused look and shook her head as she continued a fast walk. She stopped next to the library and noticed Malfoy coming towards her with a smirk. She rooled her eyes, she really wasn't in the mood.

'What?' She snapped impatiently.

He simple stared at her.

'Hello? What's with people and not talking today' Hermione said with a nervous laugh as she moved to get past him but felt his hand on her wrist.

'Get off Malfoy'

'You don't want me to' He stated blankly.

'Oh I do' Hermione said tugging again.

'Say it with a bit more meaning' He said turning her round to face him.

She opened her mouth but nothing came out as he pressed her body against the wall and kissed her gently on the neck. Hermione's eyes widened slightly and then she srated to wrap her arms around him tentatively.

'Malfoy' She uttered quietly on her lips as her eyes closed.

'Yes?' He said breaking away and looking at her with passion flaring in his eyes. Against her better judgement she leaned up and kissed him...

Hermione woke up with a start and ran a hand through her brown hair as she replayed the dream in her mind. She groaned inwardly and turned her face to the left of her and her eyes widened.

What was Malfoy doing in her bed crossed her mind at a panicked rate but then memories came back from the night before and she relaxed. Malfoy was a lot closer to the middle of the bed with his green sheets around him and Ella next to his chest. She yawned wide and started to get out of bed when Harry walked into her room in a rush.

'Hermione, have you seen...' He drifted of as he looked down at Hermione and then at Ella and then Malfoy. Harry scowled and looked down at Hermione expectantly.

'Harry, how did you get in here?' She said nervously looking around the room.

'Oh, spell. I figured you would be a wake and wouldn't mind...but I see I was wrong. I'll see you later Hermione' He said cautiously as he looked at Malfoy again before backing out of their room.

'Not again, this is the worst week of my life' Hermione mumbled as she fell back on her covers. The movement made Malfoy wake up and glare at her.

'Why dya wake me?' He murmured against the covers.

'I didn't do it on purpose' Hermione hissed.

Sensing her mood he took an intake of breath and rolled his eyes. 'What's wrong?' He said in a very monotone voice.

'Harry'

'Want me to kill him?'

'NO!' She snapped again.

'It's only Potter, no one would miss him.' Malfoy said as he sat up and looked over at Hermione who was clad in a strap top and trousers that she'd slept in. He raised a pleased eyebrow as he scanned her body with his eyes.

'Harry was just in here'

'Huh? How did he get in?'

'Spell...apparently. If he tells Ron he saw you in my bed, that'll be it.' She said biting her lip.

'So what if he tells Weasley?'

'His names Ron and well, I don't think he'd take it too well considering...' She waved a hand.

'..He fancies you?' Malfoy finished for her.

'Yeah. OK, this is what's going to happen' Hermione said crossing her legs and facing Malfoy.

'We don't talk or look at each other when we're in public.'

'So I'm meant to shut my eyes and hand Ella to you?' He smirked as he watched Hermione think.

'OK, it's a stupid idea, I get it.'

'What's the fuss? It's not like we're having a secret relationship or anything Granger. However much you wish we were'

'Have you always been this egotistical?'

'I have every right to be egotistical thank you. I mean...look at me' he said taking down the cover that was covering most of his chest.

Hermione looked at him as if he were insane and then laughed. 'We're moving of the subject that's important here'

'Potter? Important? Don't let him hear u say that, his head will explode' He muttered as leant his head on his hand.

'I'd like to see you nearly kill Voldermort as a baby'

'He didn't try' Malfoy said angrily. 'He was a baby, it's not like he pulled out a wand and throw curses at him. He did nothing. I hate the way everyone thinks Potter's the best thing since broomsticks'

He lay back down in a huff and turned the other way so he wasn't facing her or Ella, who was still sleeping like a baby.

'Malfoy?' She tried as she picked up Ella and laid her down in her cot and went back over to her bed. She sighed.

'Malfoy, you moose' She said slapping him playfully on the shoulder. His back was too her and she could tell he was pretending to sleep.

'Draco?' She tried again. She saw him tense but he didn't say anything or turn to face her.

'Fine, I'll just take off my top here then...' She said with a smirk as Malfoy shot up and turned to face her.

'You lied!' he said pointing an accusing finger at her chest. Hermione crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

'Yep' Hermione said with a smirk much like his own.

'Take off your top'

Hermione laughed at his disgruntled expression. 'No'

'Fine' He said turning away from her, lying down and pretending to sleep again.

Hermione sighed deeply and walked around her bed to crouch down before his face which held a small pout.

'Stop acting like a baby Malfoy' She groaned.

'I'm not' he sulked.

'Why you being so difficult?'

'Because you lied and didn't take off your top' He said, a smirk creeping onto his face.

She rolled her eyes and tilted her head. 'You gotta get up. Transfiguration is first'

'Tell McGonagall I'm sleeping' He said rolling over again.

'I'm not letting you bunk a lesson' She snapped as she put her robe over her pyjamas. 'I'm taking Ella to Claire. She's got a free right now. When I come back, you better be ready'

'What are you? My mother?' He snapped as he watched her walk out the room.

'Malfoy! Get up right now young man!' Hermione shouted as she re-enetered their bedroom to find a sleeping Malfoy under the covers.

'I'm up, I'm up' He mumbled as he fell out of bed and stood up shakily.

After more shouting, running and insults thrown, Hermione and Malfoy turned up to Transfiguration a little late. Malfoy heard Hermione whimper as they walked slowly into the classroom where she saw Harry giving her a suspicious look as she sat down next to him.

She looked around for a blond haired teenager and noticed that Malfoy wasn't sitting in his usual seat. She pulled a face. He was across the aisle from her and was currently saying something to someone she couldn't see.

'Miss Trender and Mr Malfoy, could you please refrain from talking?' She heard McGonagall snap. She looked across and saw Malfoy sit back allowing Claire to come into her view.

Hermione blinked twice and saw Claire giving Malfoy a rather large smile. For some unknown reason Hermione felt rejected and a little annoyed. She just shook her head and took out her quill.

After 5 minutes of making notes she heard a giggle and looked over to see Claire in silent laughter. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued to work until she felt another pair of eyes looking at her. Harry.

Once McGonagall had set them a task, Harry was the first to speak in a hushed whisper. 'What's going Hermione?'

'Oh nothing' Hermione said waving it off and pointing her wand at an object she was meant to change. She was about to utter a spell when she heard another laugh that distracted her.

Hermione whipped her head around and looked at Malfoy who was surprisingly staring back.

'Granger' He smirked.

'Yes?' She snapped as she blew a stray bit of hair out of her face.

'Oh nothing' He said turning round and whispering something in Claire's ear. She let out a beaming smile.

'Sitting with a Gryffindor Malfoy?' Hermione said as she tried to get his attention back onto her. It succeeded, he swivelled round to face the brunette.

'Well, I have a child with a Gryffindor so what's sitting next to one?' He said noticing her expression, which remained void. Harry, who was on the other side of her, was looking from Hermione to Malfoy with a very confused expression plastered to his face. He really needed to talk to Hermione.

At lunch Harry cornered Hermione while she was on the way to the hall.

'What was all that about this morning? I mean, first you guys are sleeping in the same bed and then you both arrive late for class which was very suspicious and then you seemed, for a reason I don't get, distracted with Malfoy.'

'Well, it's a long story about the bed thing' Hermione said. 'And the rest is all nothing very interesting' She smiled at Ginny who was passing by looking extremely curious.

'I don't believe you' Harry hissed at her.

'Well, you should.' She said uncertainly as she started to feel uncomfortable with the way Harry was stopping her from getting away.

'Well, I don't. You should be glad it was me that caught Malfoy in your bed because if Ron found out, Malfoy would be hanging off one of the quidditch posts right now'

'I don't think Ron could take Malfoy' Hermione said sighing.

'I agree' A voice said from behind them. They both turned to see Malfoy looking from one person to another.

'Go away Malfoy' Harry said taking out his wand.

'Oh I really would, but I just don't want to' He said leaning on a wall and winking at Hermione who was looking increasingly nervous.

'You know what Hermione, you're my friend and I don't think you'd lower yourself to his level' Harry said as he stalked off towards the hall.

'What was that about?'

'Nothing' Hermione said as she dusted off her robes.

'Your such a liar' He said taking one large step closer to her.

'I know' Hermione said with a smile as she followed Harry to the hall.

'I hate her' He mumbled but with a small smile at his lips.

'Liar' A voice said from behind him.

'Hey' He said shooting Claire a large smile.

'I was thinking, after all this baby stuff is over, maybe we could go to hogsmeade together, that's if you're ok with going with a Gryffindor' She said walking slowly towards him and tucking some strands off hair behind her ear.

'I don't do commitments, but yeah maybe we can' He said smirking widely as she looked up at him.

'Cool' She said swiftly kissing him on the cheek and leaving him standing there with a plan slowly formulating itself in his head. He smiled.

Hermione flicked bits of her brown coloured hair out of her face as she walked at a quick pace to her next lesson. Ron was next to her talking about something or other. Hermione wasn't paying even a little bit of attention to him. Her mind was on Claire and Malfoy. Her thoughts led her to no conclusion so she attempted to think of something else.

Ron's voice broke through her thoughts. 'Herms?'

'You know I hate that name Ron' She said warily.

'Sorry but I'm just going to quickly go to the loo...go ahead without me, I'll see you in lesson ok?'

'Yeah sure whatever' She mumbled leaving a confused Ron behind her as she walked steadily towards the dungeons. She walked down the cobbled steps and around the corner. The books she held in her hands tumbled to the floor as her hands shot to her mouth in shock.
