Chapter 5

Draco Malfoy .... clouded by steam... barely covered by a towel....

Hermione couldn't move, as if she had been stunned, and she sure as hell couldn't pull her eyes away from the bare torso in front of her. Not sure if it was the steam that flowed into the room playing tricks on her, but somehow it was as if said torso was getting closer. It wasn't until she felt the gentle pressure of a single finger, pushing her chin in an upwards motion, did she realise that it wasn't the steam.
She'd actually just had her mouth, which was wasn't aware had fallen agape, closed by the owner of the glistening chest. Who was now standing in front of her, still with a towel precariously resting on his hips, smirking down at her.
"See something you like Granger?" Malfoy asked, finger still resting on her chin, his signature smirk returned.
"I... I...." she stammered still unable to move.
"Hermione Granger, with nothing to say", he shook his head "never thought I'd see the day" removing his finger from her chin, he winked at her, turned and went into his room closing the door with a wave of his hand. Not sure if he'd done it on purpose or not, but just before the door began swinging closed his towel dropped, giving Hermione a full view of his backside.
"What the fuck" she couldn't help from saying out loud.
Hermione took a deep breath, the ability to move returning, and walked back to her room. Closing the door, she lay her head against the door, replaying what just occurred through her mind a few times.

Had this actually been the same Draco Malfoy, that had mercilessly teased her, their whole schooling life? Or is this the person that was underneath it all? She knew Lucius Malfoy was sentenced to life in Azkaban, and would not be leaving unless it was in a coffin. Maybe this is what the real Draco looked like, when finally released from his grasp. She shook her head, pushing her body away from the door, making her way back to her bed. She'd put her own sheets on, something she'd never done as a student, and it felt a little more homely. Looking around the room she'd affixed some photos to the walls, and made the room feel her own. She took a deep breath, sighing at the familiar smells of the old castle, only the sound of her stomach gurgling to remind her that it was approaching dinner time. Pulling on a pair of jeans and a cardigan, Hermione made her way to the Great Hall for dinner, remembering at the last minute to pick up a book from the pile on her desk to read with her meal. Noting as she walked, the areas marked off and some that had been repaired since the battle. As she entered the hall, she noted that the house tables were absent and instead, two long tables to the side of the hall, next to the fires were set up. Although they were approaching the summer months, the evenings were still quite cool in the castle, the fires providing the much needed warmth. Hermione was happy to see Hagrid sitting at the table, smiling at her old Professor and friend, she took a seat at the other table. By no means did she want to avoid Hagrid, but honestly she didn't really want to engage too much in conversation. She set herself up with a plate and her book, concentrating on getting through the meal.

With her book strategically placed in front of her, Hermione still allowed herself a reasonable view of the tables and their occupants. She didn't recognise anyone really, apart from Hagrid. She assumed they were mostly the curse breakers, repairers and builders. As her eyes were subtly scanning the room, Malfoy walked into the hall, now in muggle style jeans, t-shirt and sweater and approached the table she was on. She noticed he too had a small novel in his hands and took a seat further down from Hermione. Their eyes briefly met across the table, before they both went back to their books. Hermione got up a few minutes later, to head back to her room, intent on getting prepared for her first day. She nodded at Hagrid on her way out of the Hall, deciding to detour past the library on her way back, hopeful to find some reading material relevant to her tasks in the rebuild.

Feeling somewhat successful with her library visit, Hermione returned to her room with a few books under her arm. She was surprised to see Malfoy sitting in one of the armchairs, reading his book and nursing a glass of what she assumed was firewiskey. She made her way to her room, intent on preparing for the following day and getting a start on her reading material.

__________________________________________

Glancing at the muggle alarm clock she had brought with her, she noted that it was getting late, changed into her sleep clothes and headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. The common area was empty, as Hermione made her way to the bathroom. She noticed that Malfoy's toiletry things were left in there, so she followed suit, leaving some of her personal items behind also. As she returned to her room, the common area had dulled, the fire now lulling as she walked by. She glanced at the clothes she had set out for the day; a pair of khaki overalls and an old band t-shirt she loved.

Climbing into bed, Hermione looked around before turning off the lights, almost pinching herself that she was back here. Taking a deep breath and snuggling into the covers, she hoped being here would ward off the nightmares and self doubt she was plagued with.
