“You pay more attention to him in classes that we share with Slytherins than on the actual subject. Heck, you watch him walk into the Great Hall for meals as well. Ron told me about what he caught you doing. Something’s going on and as your friend I would like to help.”

“I really don’t think-” He caught the look on Hermione’s face and inwardly groaned; it was the same type of look he endured with S.P.E.W. “I really don’t know yet.” He said quietly, almost hoping she wouldn’t hear him.

They reached the portrait, for which Harry was extremely grateful. He didn’t think he’d ever been so pleased to see Medusa in his entire existence. But the portrait wouldn’t open to the password.

Harry groaned and muttered about Draco and changing passwords without telling him before knocking rather loudly on the picture frame (while ignoring Medusa’s indignant shrieks) and yelled, “Draco! Make Medusa open up already!” He waited a few seconds before sighing. “He’s probably already in the shower,” he muttered, sitting down next to the portrait to wait.

He caught the look Hermione shot at him. “What?”

“You know when he showers.”

“I live with him; one does pick things like that up.”

“You lived with a few guys in Gryffindor and I bet you couldn’t tell me their showering times.”

Harry opened his mouth to retort but closed it when he realized that he couldn’t tell her all of that information.

Hermione sat down next to him. “So start talking.”

“Is there any way I can change the subject?”

“No.”

“What if he hears?”

“You said yourself that he’s in the shower. You tell me how long those last.”

Harry blanched when he realized that he did know how long one of Draco’s typical showers lasted, and that he also knew how that time varied with Draco’s moods. Maybe he should talk to Hermione. She was a girl, and girls were good with these kinds of things, right?

“I keep telling myself that I’m not falling for him, and at times he makes me so annoyed that I’m sure I’m right. But then he—”

“Goes and does something that makes you like him.”

Harry nodded.

“And then that makes you forget about the thing that annoyed you.”
