Malfoy trudged up the stairs and down the halls to their room. Hermione was pouting, because Malfoy wasn't paying her any attention. She tried to get his attention by...talking.

"...and I enjoy ponies, and muffins, oh, and I think you should...honey, what's the matter?"

"Look, I'm not your baby, I don't care what you think, and for pete's sake, I'M NOT YOUR HONEY! Why do you keep calling me that?"

"Because I like you alot." Hermione linked her arm in his. He rolled his eyes.

"I hope this is temperary. Oh, there's the room." Malfoy inwardly sighed with relief. He stopped in the doorway. "We need a password."

"What's your name?" Hermione asked randomly.

"Draco Malfoy. What's our password?" Malfoy asked impatiently.

"Dracikins!" Hermione crowed.

"No no no!" Malfoy tried to change it, but then the door opened. He groaned, and Hermione flounced in.

"Ahh...this is nice Dracikins. Where's YOUR room?" Hermione looked around, and Malfoy growled.

"Alright....BED!"

"What?" Hermione turned to look at him curiously.

"Go to bed, NOW! I am, and you should too. This is getting ridiculous. I'm not Dracikins. I'm not honey, not your baby, you belong to HARRY!!"

"Whose Harry?" Malfoy slapped his hand on his forehead.

"Never mind, just go to bed." Hermione pouted and went into one of the rooms. Malfoy rolled her eyes.

"That's my room."

"Oh, right." Hermione grinned sheepishly and went into the other room.

Harry stormed into the Gryffindor Common Room. He sat down in one of the chairs, cursing under his breath. Ginny looked up from her book, interested.

"Boy, why are you angry?" Ginny asked, nonchalantly. Harry threw a pillow across the room.

"Nothing, unless you consider the fact that Hermione is now living with the world's biggest git, and she doesn't even know who I am! Honestly, who calls Draco Malfoy hot? It just doesn't make sense!"

"Oh c'mon Harry, it can't be that bad..." Ginny approached Harry carefully. Harry put his face in his hands. Ginny tentatively rubbed his back. He sighed.

"Yes it is. She doesn't realize that she's with me. She is all over Malfoy...and he hates her...what if something happens? What if-"

"Shh...hush Harry, let it go." Ginny hugged him, and continued to rub his back. "We'll talk about it tomorrow, ok? Just rest."

"Yea? Ok, fine..." Harry got up, then turned to Ginny. "You're a really great friend, do you know that?"

Ginny's ears turned red underneath her flaming red hair. "I know it. Go to sleep Harry."

Harry went up the stairs with heavy steps. Ginny waited until he got all the way up.

YES! She pumped her fist in the air, then checked herself. She scrambled up the stairs, chuckling madly.
