"WHAT?!" Draco exclaimed furiously, jumping out of his chair.
"It has already been arranged Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore stated.
"Are you bloody mental? You think having her move in with me is a good idea? We hate each other, and I do not want to be in the presence of a Mudblood longer than I already am."
"Mr. Malfoy watch your tongue" McGonagall hissed.
"Albus, are you sure there is nothing else we can do?" Snape asked.
"I am sure Severus. If Mr. Malfoy wises to keep his position as Head Boy, then he will comply with the new living situation."
"And what, elect Weasley as Head Boy? So him and Granger can bang each other all night? We both know that no guy in this school can even compare to me in grades or magical talent." Draco stated cockily.
Hermione's face flushed beat red.
"Which is why I have decided to move Miss Granger in with you. You know magic that other students at this school do not, so I know that Miss Granger will be well protected with you. Also, it will be the last place that anyone would look for Miss Granger, based off of your history with one another."
"What makes you think I want to protect her? I could care less about what happens to her" Draco stated smoothly.
"Draco!" Snape said snapped.
"You do not have a choice in this matter Mr. Malfoy, you are to protect Miss Granger while in this castle. If you do not, then you will be stripped of your duties. Do you understand?" Dumbledore asked warningly.
Draco's jaw tightened, but he kept quiet.
"Good" Dumbledore said clapping his hands together. "It is settled then!"
Hermione bit her lip and looked over at Draco, who met her look with one full of hatred. She swallowed and looked away.
"Are we free to go?" Draco asked rudely.
"You are. But take Miss Granger with you. You will find that all of her belongings have already been moved into your dorm, and there have been some changes in order to accommodate both of you."
"Let's go" Draco said impatiently.
Hermione walked over towards him, and the two of them started leaving Dumbledore's office together.
"One last thing" Dumbledore said to their retreating backs.
Both Hermione and Draco stopped walking and turned to look at Dumbledore, Draco both annoyed and pissed off.
"You are not to tell anybody about your new living conditions in order to assure Miss Granger's safety."
"Not even Harry or Ron?" Hermione asked.
"He said no one Granger, that means those two idiots too. And they say you're the smartest witch of our age" Draco said as he turned back around and exited Dumbledore's office, Hermione hurrying to catch up with him.
"Are you sure that was a good idea Albus?" McGonagall asked once the two of them were gone.
"I do believe it was one of my better ideas" Dumbledore stated.
"The two hate each other! Putting those two together in closed quarters is just bad news waiting to happen."
"It is the last place anyone would expect to find her. In reality, it is probably one of the safest places for her in this entire school."
"Unless they kill each other first" McGonagall stated sourly.

Draco stormed down the corridor towards his dorm, Hermione following closely behind. She couldn't believe that Dumbledore had decided that the safest place for her to be was with Draco of all people.. The guy had pretty much threatened to kill her, not that Dumbledore knew, nor was she going to bring it up during that conversation. It would have looked like an excuse not to agree to Dumbledore's plans, and she also didn't want to argue. And in all honesty, she was just tired and wanted to head to bed, at this point she didn't care where it was.
"Malfoy, I didn't know this was going to happen" Hermione said, trying to calm him down and break the tension that was currently between them.
"Obviously not Granger" Malfoy snapped.
"Do you want me to go back to Dumbledore and tell him that I do not agree with these new living conditions, and would prefer to go somewhere else?" Hermione asked.
Draco stopped walking, turning around to look at her.
"Of course I want you to do that, but we both know that once that old bat makes up his mind there is no changing it. Besides, if you did that then they would all think that I forced you to go back there and say it."
Hermione realized he was right, she hadn't thought about that.
"Especially considering you didn't say anything throughout that entire conversation."
"What did you want me to say? They obviously know that the feelings you have towards me staying with you are mutual to my feelings, there would have been no point. Besides, it wasn't like I could really get a word in with your outbursts every ten seconds."
"Well sorry I didn't want to have to share my living quarters with a Mudblood" Draco hissed.
Hermione felt anger well up inside of her.
"Well you know what Malfoy? Get OVER it. I'm just as unhappy and pissed off about this whole situation as you are. Do you think I am actually happy about the new living arrangements Dumbledore has provided me? No. But I also know there is no point in arguing about it. It is what it is, so deal with it."
Hermione stormed past Draco.
Draco grabbed onto her arm as she walked by him.
Hermione jumped and shrank away from him, a scared look on her face.
Draco let go of her arm immediately. Of course he scared her, especially after the night she had just had. He started forwards, not looking back at her. He knew she would follow behind him, and he was right when he heard her footsteps start up right behind him.
When they finally arrived to his dorm, Draco spoke.
"Well, since you're living here now I guess I should give you the password. But I'm telling you right now Granger, nobody knows this password except for me, and now you. Do not give it to your friends, or anyone for that matter."
"I won't" Hermione said.
"I mean it Granger. No one is supposed to know you are living here, so lets keep it that way for both of our well-beings. That means no accidentally letting it slip to your pathetic friends of yours."
"You can't say anything to anyone either" Hermione snapped.
Draco snorted.
"You actually think I would want to tell anyone I associate with that I have a Mudblood sharing a room with me? I would be the laughing stock of Slytherin."
"Can you just say the damn password already? I want to go to sleep" Hermione snapped.
"Scorpius"
"Seriously? Scorpius?"
"Shut up Granger," Draco said as he made his way into the dorm.
Hermione followed behind him, and looked around. It was exactly how she would have imagined it. The room was dimly lit, and Hermione had to get accustomed to the darkness before she was able to look around and get a good view of dorms room. Hermione shivered, feeling the temperature difference between the corridor and Draco's dorm.
"Ever heard of a light and a fireplace?" Hermione asked.
"I like the dark, and this is more than enough light for me Granger. If you don't like it, then you know where the way out is."
Hermione bit down on her lip and didn't say anything.
"What, no retort Granger? How unlike you" Draco observed.
"Where is my room?" Hermione asked.
Draco looked around and saw the whole extra section that had been added to the right side of his dorm.
"Over there?" He said nodding towards the direction of her room.
Hermione walked over towards the door that was now her bedroom, and opened it up and looked inside. It was an exact replica of her room that she had in her dorm. She smiled at the familiarity of her room.
"I should have known this is what your room would look like" Draco drawled.
Hermione turned around and narrowed her eyes at Draco, who had followed her into her room.
"I don't recall inviting you into my room Malfoy" Hermione stated.
"I don't recall inviting you to live with me," Draco stated.
"Alright Malfoy I get it, it's your place, you don't want me here. Now can you please get out of my room so I can change and go to sleep."
Draco turned around and walked out, slamming Hermione's door behind him.
Hermione let out a deep breath that she didn't realize that she had been holding. She went to her closet, and grabbed her usual nightwear, which consisted of a pair of shorts, and a t-shirt. She slipped them on, and then crawled into her bed, sighing at the feeling of her cotton sheets against her skin. She fell asleep almost instantly, falling into a dreamless sleep.
Draco on the other hand, was not so lucky. He was not happy at all about what had taken place, and he was too riled up to get any sleep. He couldn't believe his luck, getting handed the situation that he was now in. He was extremely pissed that he now had to share his living quarters with the one person that he hated more than anything. Dealing with her and her know-it-all and judgmental ways in classes and patrolling was bad enough, and now he was going to be seeing her pretty much all day every day.
He punched his pillow, trying to get more comfortable. Realizing that he wasn't going to be getting any sleep, he decided to practice his wandless magic. He sat up in bed and looked at his desk, that had his schoolbooks sitting on it. He raised his hand, facing it towards the books, and slowly started raising his hand, the book following his hand.
Getting bored, he let the book drop, and flopped back down on his bed.
Draco woke up the next morning, realizing that he must have fallen asleep at some point. He wiped the sleep away from his eyes, and stretched his limbs. He slid out of bed, hissing as the cool air hit his skin. He was hoping that everything that happened last night was just a nightmare, and that once he walked out of his bedroom, that nightmare would be confirmed.
When he opened his door, he scowled as the door to Hermione's room came into view, meaning that what happened yesterday was actually real, not a nightmare.
He started towards the bathroom, and reached for the door handle, to find it locked.
"What the hell…"
"Granger! Get the hell out of my bathroom!"
"I'm in the shower Malfoy!" came Hermione's muffled response.
"Like hell you're in my shower" Draco huffed before unlocking the door with a spell.
Hermione heard the click of the door, and turned her head in that direction.
"Malfoy are you in the bathroom?!" Hermione shrieked.
"Get out of my shower Mudblood, before I come and pull you out" Draco said, his voice a lot closer than it had been before.
Hermione froze, knowing Draco was now in the bathroom with her.
"Malfoy, get out!" Hermione yelled, trying to keep her voice stern instead of nervous.
Next thing Hermione knew, the shower curtain was whipped open, leaving her standing there, completely naked with water running down her body.
Draco stared openly at Hermione, not concealing his interest in her body. Hermione tried to cover herself as much as she could, a blush raising onto her cheeks.
"Malfoy, get OUT" Hermione snapped angrily.
"No" Draco stated.
"OUT!" Hermione shouted.
"This is my dorm room Granger, it's either you get out of that shower now, or I am coming in to join you."
"I'm not finished" Hermione stated obviously, the soapsuds still in her hair.
Draco shrugged and then pushed himself into the shower alongside her.
"MALFOY!" Hermione shrieked.
"I warned you Granger" Draco stated.
"Could you not have given me a few more minutes to get the damn soap out of my hair?!"
"Patience is not my strong suit"
A loud smack sounded throughout the bathroom as Hermione's hand connected with Draco's face.
Hermione walked out of the shower, grabbed the towel off the shower rack and ran out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
When she entered her room, she sat down on her bed angrily. She couldn't believe the nerve of Draco, walking into the shower while she was in there. He wouldn't even let her finish washing the soapsuds out of her hair.
Frustrated, she grabbed her bathrobe and threw it on. She needed to finish showering. She knew she could have just used her wand to finish washing the soap out of her hair, but she hated using magic to wash. Since it was Saturday and she had the day off, she decided that she was going to go and have a relaxing bath in the girls bathroom.
She left her bedroom, and the dorm that she now shared with Draco, and took off towards the girl's bathroom. When she entered, she was glad to see that nobody else was there. She liked having the time to herself, just relaxing and not having to worry about anyone or anything.
She turned on the tap, and watched as the giant tub started filling up with soap and bubbles. She slipped her bathrobe off, and slid into the water, sighing as the warm water made contact with her exposed skin.
After staying there as long as possible, Hermione got out of the tub, and dried herself off, slipping her bathrobe back on. She left the girls bathroom, and started heading towards Draco's dorm when someone started calling her name.
"Oi, Hermione!"
Hermione turned around and saw running waving at her down the corridor. She stopped walking and waited for him to catch up with her.
"Hey Ron"
"Where have you been?" Ron asked.
"I was taking a bath in the girls lavatories, why?"
"I was at your dorm, and you weren't there, I was worried."
"I'm okay, no worries" Hermione said smiling.
"Why were you showering in the girls lavatories when you have your own shower and bath?" Ron asked.
Hermione was dreading having to start these types of conversations with Ron. She knew that she couldn't tell them the truth, and that she had to lie to him instead. She had never been a good liar, which is why she was dreading having to try and get through lying to her boyfriend without him getting suspicious. She had to think of something quick, and something that was believable. There was no way that she could even let Ron think that she was lying, otherwise he would question her, and she didn't want to have to lie to him more than necessary.
"I just felt like relaxing in a bigger tub. Plus it's Saturday so we have no school, so I just decided to do something different."
Hermione knew that her excuse was weak, but it was the best that she could do considering the situation.
"Oh okay. But weren't you heading the total opposite way to your dorm?"
Hermione wanted to smack herself. She never should have walked the hallway in her bathrobe, at least then she could have made up some other excuse like she was doing something for Dumbledore.
"I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, I was lost in thought."
"Thinking about homework?" Ron asked putting his arm around her smiling.
"Like always" Hermione said, seeing her out and taking it.
"Well it's the weekend, so stop thinking about school work and give yourself a break! You're always working on homework and things related to school"
"I know"
"How about we go to Hogsmeade? We'll ask Harry and Ginny if they want to come. The four of us haven't hung out for a while, why not make a day of it?"
"That sounds good" Hermione said, a genuine smile on her face.
"Okay sweet, I'll go and talk to Harry and Ginny now. Just go and get ready and then meet us back at the Gryffindor common room?"
"Sounds good!"
Ron smiled and kissed her, before turning around and heading back towards the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione waited until he was out of sight, and then she started heading back towards Draco's dorm, hoping that she wouldn't run into anyone else along the way.
