"Hermione, wake up" Draco said softly as he gently shook the girl who was currently fast asleep against him.
Her response was an incomprehendable murmur. Draco shifted slightly, so that he was able to stand up without waking her. He reached down and gently picked Hermione up. She shifted in his arms so that her head was now cradled in the crook of his neck. She let out a deep breath, and Draco felt shivers run down his spine. He carried her to her bedroom door, and then realized he didn't know her password. He remembered overhearing her say it once at the beginning of the year, but he could not remember for the life of him what it was, and for all he knew she could have changed it by now.
"Damn it Hermione" Draco said as he turned and made his way towards his bedroom.
"Malfoy" Draco said his password and the door swung open.
Draco carried Hermione over to his bed and used his wand to open the sheets. He gently placed her down onto the bed, and wrapped the covers around her. After making sure she looked comfortable and that she was still asleep, he walked around the bed to the other side and slid in under the covers. He positioned himself so that he was laying on his back. Just as he started to drift off to sleep, Hermione rolled over towards him and ended up cuddling up to him, her head back into the nook in his shoulder, and she draped her right arm over his chest. When she was situated and comfortable, she let out a content sigh. Draco gently wrapped his right arm around her, and pulled her closer.
He looked down at the girl who was now in his arms. He studied her face as she slept. Draco loved how peaceful she looked while she was sleeping. Looking back to the beginning of the year, he never could have imagined himself in the position he was currently in; cuddling and sharing a bed with the one girl he was brought up to hate. And, if he was going to be completely honest, he was actually enjoying having Hermione in his arms, in his room, and in his bed with him.

Ginny made it back to the Gryffindor common room without being caught by Filch or any of the other teachers who could have potentially been out of bed. When she walked into the common room, she spotted Harry and Ron sitting by the fire. Harry saw her as soon as she walked in.
"There you are" Harry said relieved.
"Were you worried?" Ginny asked amused.
"What took you so long?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, really. Me and Harry were just about to come looking for you" Ron stated.
"I was talking to Zabini" Ginny said.
"Why were you talking to him? He's a Slytherin" Ron stated angrily.
"I'm well aware that he's in Slytherin, I'm not blind" Ginny said, her temper rising.
"Last time I checked, we don't associate with the likes of them" Ron stated.
"Just because you aren't capable of putting your differences aside with someone because of the house that they are in, doesn't mean that I can't. Plus, Zabini has never done anything to me" Ginny said.
Ron stared at her dumbfounded.
"You do realize that Zabini's best mate is Draco bloody Malfoy and all that prat has done since the day we got to this school was make mine, Harry's and Hermione's lives hell"
"People change Ron. And you can't judge Zabini based off of Malfoy's behaviour just because they are associated with one another" Ginny stated.
"Did you get slipped a love potion?" Ron asked snapping angrily.
"No?" Ginny said confused.
"Well they had to of. Either that or you're going bloody mental"
"Get your head out of your ass. People change. And you can't always judge a book because of its cover so grow up and stop being so damn immature all the time" Ginny snapped as she walked towards the girls dormitories and slammed the door shut behind her.
Ron looked over at Harry and said "What the hell just happened?"
"Honestly?" Harry said slowly, "I have no idea."

When Ginny entered her dorm, she was furious. She was sick and tired of how Ron tried to dictate everything she did. She was a grown woman, and she could talk to whoever she wanted, Slytherin or not. She hated how Ron babied her and how he thinks that everyth8ing she does is his business. He's only a year older than her! She was more than capable of making her own decisions, and she was more than able to protect herself if need be. Hell, she was a better dueler than Ron, and she had a mean swing, and a nasty temper to go with it.
Her internal rant was cut short when she heard a tapping sound coming from the window. She walked over to the window and pushed the curtain aside to see what the cause of the noise was. She was met with the site of a gorgeous grey barn owl. She opened the window, and the owl flew in and perched on her bedside table. It stuck out it's right leg, and that's when she noticed the letter that was attached to its leg. She then realized that this was the reason behind the birds arrival. She opened up her drawer and grabbed out two owl treats, which she gave to the animal immediately after detaching the letter from its leg. It hooted happily, showing its appreciation before flying away.
Ginny closed the window behind it, and put the curtain back in place, and then opened the letter. As soon as she saw her name addressed in the letter, she smiled, knowing exactly who it was writing to her.
Weaselette,
Hoping you made it back to the Gryffindor common room in one piece. You never know, Filch's cat could have cornered you and torn you to threads, or you could have fallen down a flight of stairs and broken your leg. Another possibility could be that Filch found you, captured you, and you are now chained up somewhere in the dungeons being tortured.
However, you're an intelligent witch, a feisty one too, so I am 100% certain that you are sitting in your room right now reading this letter. If however, that is not the case, and I do not see you at breakfast tomorrow because one of this awful scenarios is in fact reality, then I will come and find you and rescue you.
Don't say I never did anything for you.
Your knight in shining armor,
-B.
Ginny smiled as she read Blaise's letter. He sure is a character. She decided against responding, maybe she would worry him a little bit and leave him in suspense as to whether or not she actually made it back to her room. Ginny then thought about skipping breakfast, and pictured the look on Blaise's face as he came to the realization that she was not going to show up, and he would have to be her "knight in shining armor" and come and rescue her. She laughed at this thought.
She didn't care what anyone said, Blaise was actually a really nice guy, with an incredible sense of humour. She also found him extremely good looking. He was probably the second best looking guy in the entire school, next to Malfoy. Howevern, Malfoy's attitude made his good looks seem less attractive. But, Blaise had a good personality, something that Malfoy lacked, which made him more attractive in her eyes.
She didn't know what was going on between the two of them, but she did know that it needed to be kept a secret, at least for the time being. She knew that her brother would never approve, and would try everything in his power to keep her away from Blaise. Also, there was the fact that many people at the school thought Hermione and Blaise were a couple.
Ginny climbed into bed, pulled her sheets around her, and dreamed about a certain dark haired Slytherin.

Draco yawned and looked over at the clock he had sitting on one of his nightstands. 3am. He had been staring at Hermione for over an hour. Now he just felt like a complete creep. But, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He felt his heart flutter as she whispered his name in her sleep.
He knew he was in deep with this girl. Hell, he didn't think he could even try and deny it anymore. Blaise was right, he was in love with this girl who was currently laying in his arms, and there was nothing he could do about it.
To be quite frank, it scared the hell out of him.
Draco looked down at Hermione again and realized the truth in his thoughts,. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. As he pulled back he whispered "Goodnight Hermione, I love you."
He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
