Chapter 6: The Visit

Harry woke up the next morning and walked over to Ron’s bed. Harry shook him a bit to get him up.

“Wha-what’s wrong?” muttered Ron.
“Ron get up. I want to talk to you.”
“What? Oh, yeah, ok. What’s up?” He said, sitting up.
“I wanted to talk to you about this whole Hermione and Malfoy deal. Do you think there’s anything going on between them?”
“I doubt it, mate. She wouldn’t do that, she hates him.”
“Yeah, well they were a little to nice to each other in Madam Malkin’s. That’s not normally like her.”
“Yeah, I know.” Ron said, scratching his head. “She also wouldn’t tell us what he said.”
“I asked her about it last night when she came to get Ginny.”
“What’d she say?”
“She said that we don’t need to worry about it, and that she’ll tell us.”
“Wait, why’d she get Ginny?”
“Said she needed to talk to her.”
“I thought she was gonna talk to her on the train?”
“I guess they never did.”
“Well, maybe Ginny will tell us when she gets back.”
“I don’t think so, Ron. They’re pretty close.”
“What’d you mean?”
“All I’m sayin is that they’re really good friends and keep each other’s secrets, so I doubt Ginny will let anything slip.”
“Yeah, well...” Ron said, getting up to get dressed.
“Where you goin?”
“I’m gonna pay ‘em a visit. You comin?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
They got dressed and left to visit Hermione and Ginny.

Ginny woke up and went to the kitchen for some breakfast. On her way back to Hermione’s room, she ran into Draco.

“What are you doing, Weaselette?” he sneered.
“I was getting breakfast, ferret,” she said, smiling.
“Why are you smiling?”
“I was just thi--”
Before she could finish there was a knock at the common room entrance.

“Malfoy, be a good ferret and get that, I’m gonna wake Hermione.”

Ginny smirked and walked back to Hermione’s room, leaving Draco on the stairs. He shot Ginny a nasty look and went down to the common room.

“Hermione? Where are you?”
“In here,” she called from the bathroom.
“Oh, ok. Well I ran into Draco on the stairs.”
“What happened?” she asked coming out.
“Oh, nothing happened. Just the fact that he was in his boxers,” Ginny said with a sigh. “He is quite cute.”
Hermione laughed, “Yeah I know. Last night all I dreamed of was Dra--”
Hermione stopped short when her door opened and Draco was standing in the doorway. He stood there with his eyebrow raised and just stared at Hermione, who was still in her pajamas.

“Yes, Draco?” she asked.

Draco shook his head and cleared his throat. “Oh, umm, you have visitors.”

******

Draco grumbled as he walked down the stairs and opened the portrait. He rolled his eyes when he saw who it was.

“What do you want, Potter?”
“For one, I’d like you to put some clothes on before you answer.”

Draco looked down and saw that he was still just in his boxers.

“Last time I checked, it was my common room.”
“Are you going to let us in?” asked Ron.

Draco moved and let them in.

“What do you want,” he asked again, as they walked by him.
“We just came to visit Hermione and Ginny. Where are they?” Harry asked.
“Upstairs, I’ll get ‘em.”

Draco walked upstairs to get the girls. When he opened the door, he saw them sitting on the floor talking. He heard Hermione stop when he came in. All Draco could do then, was stare at her. She was still in her pajamas, a light pink tank-top and matching pants. He thought of how good she looked in them, when she interrupted his thoughts.

“Yes, Draco?” she asked.
He shook his head and cleared his throat, “oh, umm, you have visitors.”
“Who?” asked Ginny.
“Potter and Weasley.”
“Perfect,” Hermione said rolling her eyes. “Well, let’s go, Ginny.”

Hermione and Ginny got up and they all went back down to the common room, with Draco in front. When they got to the last step, Hermione pulled Ginny aside and whispered, “Remember no word about last night, ok?”
“Don’t worry Hermione, I won’t say anything.”
“And Draco?”
“Hmm?”
“Especially don’t say anything about that kiss. Understand?”
“Yeah, yeah,” he replied, walking to the kitchen.

Hermione and Ginny walked over to the couch, where Ron and Harry were. Ron looked up and caught sight of Hermione. He stared for a moment and muttered, “hi Hermione”
“Hi Ron, Harry. What are you two doing here?”
“We just wanted to come and visit the head Girl and check out the common room,” Harry said.
“Well you came and saw, now you can leave.”
“Come on Hermione,” said Harry. “Let’s sit, hang out, and talk.”
She sighed, “Ok, would either of you like a drink?”
“I’ll have some pumpkin juice,” said Ron.
“Me too.”

Hermione got up and began to walk away.

“Oh, and Hermione?” Harry began.
“Yeah?”
“Tell Malfoy to put a shirt on. I don’t wanna see a half naked ferret running around.”

Ron and Harry started laughing. Ginny looked at Hermione and mouthed ‘I’m sorry’ Hermione smiled and rolled her eyes.

“So what do they want?” Draco asked, when Hermione came in.
“They came to visit me and check out the common room. I don’t believe them though,” she said, getting the pumpkin juice.
“Why?”
“I just don’t, ok? You don’t need to know everything.”

Hermione walked over to the cabinet to get some glasses. Draco came up behind her and cornered her between him and the counter. Hermione tried to wiggle out but failed. She didn’t know what was in store. He took his hand and put it on her waist and the other brushed her hair from her ear. He brought his head down and whispered, “now Hermione, that’s not fair.” He turned her around, so they were facing each other. “I can talk to you about my problems, but you can’t talk to me about yours?”

******

When Hermione went into the kitchen, Ginny looked at Harry and Ron.

“Ok, why did you guys really come?” she asked.
“Come on Ginny, can’t we just come and visit our friend?” Ron said.
“I’m not stupid, Ronald. I know that’s not the reason.”

She walked over to the couch and sat next to Harry. She put one hand on his thigh, and twirled his hair with the other.

“Harry,” she said, batting her eyes, “are you gonna tell me why your really here?”

Harry swallowed and looked at her, then Ron, then back at her. He couldn’t take it when she did that. He tried to keep his cool.

“Well, we, uh, came to uhh, visit,” he sputtered.
“Harry, don’t lie,” she said, as she slowly moved her hand up and down his thigh.
“Ok, ok. We’re here to see if there’s anything going on between Hermione and Malfoy.”

Ginny stood up in shock,“Now what would make you think of such a thing?”
“Well, I don’t know,” said Ron.
“They were quite friendly in Diagon Alley,” said Harry.
“Just because they had one civil conversation Harry, doesn’t mean anything is going on.”
“But-umm-well maybe we should go, then.”
“No,” Ginny said, pushing them back onto the couch. “Your gonna tell her why you’re here. Got it?”
“Yeah, but…”
“Ronald.”
“Yeah, ok” Ron said. “What is taking her so long? I’m gonna go see.”
“No, Ron, I'll go.”
“Ginny, it’s just the kitchen.”
“Sit down, I’ll get her.”
“Ginny.”
“Ronald. Sit, I’ll get her.”
Ron sat and let her go.
“Something has got to be going on,” he said, looking at Harry.

******

“Draco, I just--”
“Just what?”
“Harry and Ron wouldn’t understand our all-of-a-sudden friendship, is all.”
“Well, then, we’ll have to make them understand, won’t we?”
“Well, I --”

Draco took Hermione’s chin and brought her head up. He looked into her eyes and kissed her. Much more passionate than the last kiss. As it deepened, Hermione felt as if they had left the real world behind and went to their own. Draco entangled his fingers in Hermione’s hair, while she tugged at his. But they were soon interrupted.
