"Where is it?" Ron asked frustrated.
"Ron, we've only been looking for ten minutes.." Harry stated shaking his head at his friends lack of patience.
"I know" Ron huffed. "I just hate the library."
"Well, this is the section on potions, and where the book will be located, so it has to be here somewhere" Harry said adjusting his glasses as he scanned the book titles.
They continued to search for the book in silence, but to no avail.
"It's not here" Harry stated a half hour later, disappointment evident in his voice.
"It has to be here somewhere!" Ron exclaimed, panic evident in his voice. "Accio book! Accio An Advanced Look Into The Potion Making World."
Ron was swinging his wand around like a crazy person, and Harry watched him trying not to laugh at how ridiculous his friend looked.
"Don't worry, we'll find it" Harry said confidently as soon as Ron gave up on his spell casting.
"How?" Ron asked skeptically.
"Well, since it's not in the library, that means there is only one possible place as to where it could be" Harry said turning to look at Ron.
Harry watched as Ron thought about what he said, and saw Ron's face darken when it clicked.
"Malfoy" Ron hissed angrily.

"So, how many girls have you been with?" Hermione asked, her face flushing.
"Do you mean sexually or how many girls i've kissed?" Draco asked calmly.
"Both?" Hermione said smiling shyly.
Draco smirked at how embarrassed Hermione was about asking these sorts of questions. She was too innocent and pure for her own good.
"What?" Hermione asked as she noticed Draco smirking at her.
"Nothing" Draco said smoothly.
Hermione narrowed her eyes at him, but decided to keep quiet, as she wanted to hear Draco's answer. She was extremely curious about his answers. She had overheard many conversations over the years about Draco and his reputation among the ladies.
"Sexually, I have been with three" Draco stated finally.
Hermione's eyes popped open wide, and her mouth hung open in shock.
"Granger, please, fix your face, that look does not suit you" Draco drawled lazily.
Hermione snapped her mouth shut but continued to look at him quietly.
Draco could see the gears working in Hermione's head as she tried to absorb and accept what he had just told her.
"You seem surprised?" Draco said assessing Hermione.
"I am!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Why?" Draco asked intrigued.
"Well first of all, I heard you and Parkinson going at it at the beginning of the year. Also, you have to do with a lot of the gossip between a lot of the girls here. A lot of them talk about you. They refer to you as 'The Slytherin Sex God'..."Hermione said quoting the last part with her fingers.
Draco smirked "I do have a reputation amongst the ladies."
"Well they way they're all talking, it's like they've all had you in the sac" Hermione stated.
"Well I can assure you that they have not. They just wish they did. It's what happens when you have extremely good looks and money, a lot of girls make up stories to make themselves seem more popular. And I imagine most of them fantasize about being with me, although I have had my fun with quite a few" Draco said cockily, his trademark smirk still etched on his pale face.
"Ughhh eww" Hermione said repulsed.
"You asked" Draco said winking at her.
"True enough.." Hermione said.
"So what's your favourite colour?" Draco asked changing the subject.
Hermione was about to say yellow, but her and Draco locked eyes, she found herself lost in it's unique silver eyes, and heard herself blurt out "Silver."
Draco raised his eyebrow at her and she blushed scarlet.
"What do you do like to do in your spare time?" Hermione asked.
"Play Quidditch. I also like to read when I have the time" Draco answered truthfully.
"You like to read on your spare time?" Hermione asked intrigued, her eyes bright.
"There's a reason why I'm second to you in grades Granger" Draco stated.
"What do you like to read?" Hermione asked, interest evident in her voice.
"I don't know. It depends on my mood really. I like a different variety. Murder mysteries and action or fantasy are among my favourites" Draco said.
"I would never have pictured Draco Malfoy sitting curled up with a book" Hermione said with a small laugh as she pictured the scene in her head.
"I never said I curled up with the damn things Granger" Draco said narrowing his eyes.
"I improvised" Hermione said sending him a huge smile.
Draco narrowed his eyes further and sent her one of his famous Malfoy glares.
Hermione smirked then looked over at the clock that had magically appeared on the wall across from her the second she had wondered what time it was.
"Oh my goodness! Is that actually the time?!" Hermione exclaimed.
Draco turned around and looked at the clock that was behind him and was shocked to see that it was now 11pm. They had been in here together for three hours!
"Wow Granger, who would have thought I would be able to stand being in your presence for that long without cursing you or insulting you. I must be coming down with something" Draco said mocking her.
"Who would have thought I could stand being in the presence of a stuck up PureBlood without kicking your ass" Hermione said smiling sweetly.
"Touché" Draco said standing up and wiping himself off.
Hermione stood up and looked at Draco. "I'm glad I came tonight. I was honestly debating on whether or not to show up. I'm happy I did."
"Why were you debating?" Draco asked.
"Because you're Draco Malfoy. Who knows what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve" Hermione stated.
Draco looked at her void of any emotion. She was right. The main reason he had invited her here was to earn her trust, in hopes to piss off Potter and Weasley, while also using her feelings for him to his advantage. Now, after hearing everything that this girl now standing in front of him had been through, he had decided that he wasn't going to use her feelings, and that he was going to be a bit nicer to her. But, he was a Malfoy after all, and he was bound to slip every now and then, especially if she was annoying him or pissing him off. Old habits die hard. He still saw pissing off Potter and Weasley as too good of an opportunity to pass up. And what would piss off those two more than anything? Seeing him and Hermione getting along, and him being nice to her. It would drive them absolutely mental, especially Weasley.
He knew that technically he was still using Hermione in a way, in order to piss off Harry and Ron, but he found that he had actually enjoyed being in Hermione's company, and it wasn't going to be overly hard being nice to her. He wouldn't have to pretend to be nice... all the time. He had learned a lot about her in the past three hours, and had come to respect her, and even though he wouldn't admit it to anyone, like her as a person. He never knew that underneath that know-it-all and bookworm attitude, that an actual person existed. She was intelligent, anyone who knew her could tell you that. Draco admired intelligence in a woman. He couldn't stand talking to someone who could not hold a reasonably intelligent conversation. In Slytherin, it was hard to find anyone who was worth talking to besides a select few, Blaise included. That was one of the main reasons he had always used to pick fights with Hermione, because she would always have a smart or witty comeback and she wouldn't back down to him like everyone else. She was also a warm and caring person, and would literally help anyone who needed it, even him. It's who she was. She always put her morals above everything else. She also had a crazy temper, something Draco had experienced first hand MANY times. If Draco was being honest, he knew that Hermione was pretty much the only girl who would even come close to being his equal, minus the whole her being a muggleborn.
"Let's get going Granger" Draco said, not liking the direction his thoughts were taking him. "We have classes tomorrow, and I don't want to be held responsible for you falling asleep in class."
"I will not fall asleep in class" Hermione huffed as she started walking towards the door.
"We'll see tomorrow" Draco said smirking as he followed her.

"What the hell could they possibly still be doing in there?" Ron asked angrily, staring at the map that he had thrown open onto Harry's bed.
"I don't know.." Harry stated sitting next to Ron, his eyes also glued to the map.
"That's it! I've had enough of sitting here staring at this stupid map while Hermione is alone with Malfoy. For all we know, she could be unconscious or..." Ron started as Harry cut him off.
"Ron, look!" Harry said pointing at the map as Hermione's footprints appeared on the map, with Malfoy's appearing right behind hers.
Ron's eyes narrowed as he saw Malfoy's footsteps.
"Well, that means we were right about them being in the Room of Requirement" Harry stated.
"That doesn't make me any happier about it.." Ron growled.
"Me neither. But at least we know she's okay" Harry said.
"She's not okay" Ron snapped angrily. "She's hanging out with Malfoy and is in 'love' with the ferret. Hermione would never hang out with the ferret willingly, nor would she EVER fall in love with that PureBlood prick. She hates him as much as we do."
"I understand how you're feeling. Trust me, I do. And I am just about as unhappy about this situation as you are, but you can't take your frustrations out on Hermione otherwise you are going to push her away. Just remember that this isn't her fault" Harry said putting a comforting hand on Ron's shoulder.
"I know" Ron said letting out a deep breath. "This whole situation is just messed up."
"I know it is" Harry said calmly. "But don't worry, it's going to be fixed one way or another. I promise."
