Draco lay in his four poster bed in the dungeons, surrounded by green and silver silk and the snores of his new classmates. Just like Hermione, he'd been the only one to come back to finish school and was now having to adjust. The only constant throughout the years was Granger. He'd been surprised that he was okay with seeing her. The year away from school hadn't done her many favors, but she'd grown into a woman. A fragile and damaged one, but a woman none the less.
Contrary to popular belief, his former classmates had been peaceful sleepers, unlike his new ones. Draco found himself surrounded by the loudest snores he'd ever heard. He'd slept in the common room all week and his back ached every morning. Last night he'd cast a silencing charm, only to sleep through his alarm and get to class late. After an hour of trying and failing to sleep, the blond wizard gathered up his belongings and made for the Room of Requirement.
When he got there, he was surprised to already see a door. The same plain wooden door Hermione had passed through two hours earlier. He gently rapped his knuckles against it and when he didn't hear a response, he turned the knob and walked in.
Hermione was curled up under the sheets, her hair braided to be out of her way. Draco stood in front of the bed, debating what to do. Should he wake her and ask permission to stay? Or go to the common room for another night of terrible sleep?
Hermione could feel eyes on her and woke up slightly panicked. She sat bolt up right, letting the sheets drop away from her body and exposing herself. Malfoy had the decency to look away quickly but he couldn't help being appreciative of the sight of a nude female in front of him. Hermione grabbed the sheets and pulled them up to cover her breasts before screaming, "Malfoy?! What the hell are you doing in here?"
He slowly turned his head back towards her, hoping the coast was clear. "Obviously you and I had the same idea, except I'm wearing pajamas." He stated, a satisfied grin on his face. Hermione shook her head and slapped her forehead lightly; she'd forgotten to think about not being disturbed when she walked by. Now there was a door there for anybody to just walk in. As she thought about her lapse, the door vanished.
Draco arched an eyebrow at Hermione, "well, now that you have locked us in, think you could get me a bed too?" His lazy drawl and smug look infuriated Hermione. How could this same person have comforted her not two hours ago be annoying her so much?
She tried and tried to get another bed to appear; instead a blue silk nighty with lace at the top became visible at the foot of the bed. It was the one that had been in the closet, Hermione had just been too tired to put it on. Her cheeks gained some color when she looked at it from afar. Draco picked it up and handed it over to her, it felt smooth to the touch.
Granger angrily grabbed the nightgown out of his hands and quickly shrugged it on overhead. With a huff she turned around and moved to the edge of the giant bed. She reached behind her and put two pillows in the middle before pulling the covers down for the Slytherin. "I wasn't expecting turn down service, thanks Granger." He mumbled with amusement as he got into the plush bed.
Hermione didn't waste any time turning away from Malfoy and curling back into as small a ball she possibly could. Draco on the other hand stretched out and made himself utterly comfortable. He even took the cushions from the middle so that he could use them. Soon the room was filled with deep breathing.

The pair was awoken by a soft buzzing. Hermione - being a light sleeper - woke first and was surprised to feel an arm around her waist and chest against her back. Somehow through the night the two had cuddled up close to each other, Draco protectively placing his arm around the young woman. She tried to wiggle out of his grip. Each time she moved to get up Malfoy pulled her in closer. Finally, Hermione turned around and forcefully poked him in the side. Malfoy woke up with a start. He gave the brunette his signature evil look, turned around and muttered "bugger off" as he fell back asleep. Hermione slowly closed her gaping mouth and got all her necessities together before heading out the door that had reappeared.
Hermione stood outside the door, bracing herself against the wall. She couldn't believe she'd just shared a bed with her nemesis. Not only that, she'd been spooning with him! The last time Hermione had slept as well as last night was even before the war. She'd suffered from insomnia since she started thinking about wiping her parents’ memory. Yet, last night she'd slept soundly.
The door opened with a creek and Malfoy stepped out. He looked fresh as a daisy - especially standing next to a flustered and dazed Hermione. His crisp school robes flapped behind him as he walked away saying, "good morning Granger. Let's do that again sometime." He winked at her as he turned away and sauntered off. The brunette had no intention of doing it again. Not with Malfoy anyway.
Silently she made her way to Gryffindor Tower to get ready for the day. She stood before the Fat Lady, searching her mind for the password.
"Hello dearie, what's the password?" the pink portrait asked her. All the passwords that Hermione remembered or tried were wrong. She realized she hadn't been able to get it before being hospitalized at the beginning of term. "Golden Trio," a voice came from behind her. Hermione was happy to see the painting swing open to allow them access. However, she was not pleased with the new password nor that it was Ginny behind her.
"I can't believe you," the redhead hissed as Hermione made her way inside, "staying away all night, showing up looking like that. But you're not shagging anybody. You always were a horrible liar." Once again, Hermione felt tears stinging her eyes. She turned away from her former friend and went up to the girls dorms. If only Ginny knew what was really going on...
