Ch. #	Chapter Title	Word Count	Reviews
1	Human Behavior He roughly brought her closer to his chest and she could feel the heat going on between them. The warmth was increasing with every second of silence that came between them. He said nothing but his eyes said everything. He felt something for her, the growing lust and frustration….it was beginning to be unbearable now…He had dreamed of her, and he would not admit it to himself when he woke up, trying to cloud Hermione as Pansy, in his ache to have her beside him......	3,392	33
2	Possibly Maybe "You can cry, " he said in a quiet voice. She stopped in place. You can cry. It was as simple as that. Would he make fun of her? Goad her into having more pain? This was some trick. Some Draco Malfoy trick. She took a deep breath and faced him, tears finally spilling down her cheeks. "I am, " she finally said, defeat evident in her voice. " You were the only one who said I could cry. "	3,396	9
3	Hyper Ballad "Does he enter your mind when I kiss you? " "You've only kissed me twice. " "Ah, you keep track of it, " he said with a smile.	3,207	11
4	It's in Our Hands “Did you mean it? “ Hermione asked. “When- when you kissed me yesterday...“ “I bloody meant everything.“	2,731	13
5	I see who you are It was all just a bloody Draco Malfoy kiss. And suddenly that mattered now. How could she not have seen this coming?	2,631	5
6	You've been flirting again He almost smiled, feeling warmth creep into his heart. She found him comforting? It was a bloody sign, wasn’t it?	3,396	10
7	Unravel “Do you want a happy ending?“she asked. “This situation isn’t a bloody fairytale,“ Draco frowned. “But do you want one?“ “Yes, I want a bloody happy ending. Merlin, I’ve wanted to taste happiness without the tang of bitterness for so long. Why? Are you going to give me one?“	2,889	10
8	Sun in my mouth Draco stood staring at the expanse of Hogwarts’ grounds, wondering why the feeling of being kissed gently could leave such an overwhelming effect on him....	2,401	5
9	Like Someone in Love It was that delicate touch that made his heart pound even more, like a tidal wave crashing inside. This was the point of no return, he thought. If he thought he had fallen for her the night before, he was terribly wrong...	2,288	4
10	Hidden Place Draco was silent with her admission. How would he move next? Calculating with emotions was harder than he had thought. This was something that went beyond his grasp. He tried to understand what was going on; the simplest explanation was that he had indeed begun to feel something he had never felt for anyone before...	3,288	7
11	Heirloom “Do you want to have dinner together? I meant in non-speaking terms,“ she joked. He shook his head. “Listen, I have to leave for a while.” Her tone changed to that of concern. “Leave?”	2,912	3
12	Alarm Call “Draco, would you honestly have me believe that you’re willing to allow contact with blood traitors and Mudbloods?” she said pursing her lips. “It’s a highly derogatory term, mother. They still have magic in them anyhow...”	3,207	17
13	One Day “I have half the mind to cast a spell of forgetfulness on you, Cissy,” Bellatrix breathed out. “If it were not for the fact that I adore you and Draco… Don’t make the mistake of getting in the way. This plan must pull through. I trust I won’t have problems with you.”	3,426	5
14	It's Not Up To You Nott held up a palm. “Spare me the love stories. You do know what this means, right?” “The consequences are enormous..." Draco's voice trailed off.	3,332	1
15	Harrm of Will Draco shook his head twice as he sat up, his heart was still pounding and his palms were damp. He looked at her. “Hermione I want you to promise me that you will never come here alone.”	3,458	5
16	Overture Nott smiled idly. “That Weasley’s a fool for dumping you.” Hermione’s gaze drifted back to Nott. “Excuse me?” “You heard me, Head Girl.”	3,022	4
17	Sonnets and Unrealities He fell into the biting water and struggled to open his eyes, fighting off the cold. He saw her far from him, floating, dead. He screamed and no one could hear him…	3,489	6
18	Where is the Line? “I still love you,” Ron mumbled...	3,172	3
19	Scatterheart He had seen Hermione’s eyes, how she was in love with the Slytherin prince of his generation. And he suddenly felt a pang of hurt...	2,721	5
20	Army of Me What did this mean? Hermione couldn’t be instrumental to her own closest friend’s demise. Somehow he didn’t want it, yet he did at the same time, to put an end to this...	3,276	4
21	Mouth's Cradle Of course it wasn’t easy. Here he was, sitting, conversing with a Mudblood, a Mudblood he had also begun to have feelings for. If he couldn’t compete with Draco in terms of leadership, he could compete with his women.	2,665	5
22	An Echo, A Stain His closest ally actually liking the same woman… wasn’t that a one in a million chance? And they both liked someone of Muggleborn descent, for Merlin’s sake!	2,384	9
23	New World Draco gasped as he stood away from the basin, his heart thudding. Had he just witnessed a memory of Dumbledore’s? It was the first time he had also seen Harry’s parents and Harry, he was helpless, so young, so needy…	2,523	1
24	Sacrifice “Are you still mad at me?” he asked her in a low voice. “Mad...” Hermione repeated. “I was. Now...I’m just...disappointed.” Draco winced. “That actually hurts far better than anger.”	2,285	2
25	Vertebrae by Vertebrae "Might I ask why you're lying?" Draco followed. The man's mouth froze in place. "What? What do you mean by lyin'? I am not making that story up. And how dare you accuse me of lying when you haven't even bought anything!" Draco fished out for the pendant he had hidden underneath the layer of clothing. It dangled heavily on the chain, like the weight had doubled in the last few days. Draco smirked and eyed the shopkeeper...	2,876	5
26	One Hundred Seven Steps “I- you need to be careful,” he muttered. Harry’s brows rose. “Why?” His voice started to sound cross. He took a step back and glared at Draco. He suddenly felt his blood rush through his veins faster. Here he was, the Slytherin Prince, muttering nonsense threats!	2,637	4
27	Cover Me “Everything will be alright, I promise you,” Draco whispered, kissing her forehead.	3,128	5
28	Crystalline “Stop loving him, Hermione!” he nearly shouted, exasperated. Hermione’s hand paused above the door’s knob. She slowly turned around again, her eyes wide. “What did you say?”	2,605	6
29	Declare Independence “I know you altered her memory.” “Son of a-“ “Shut it, Malfoy. I know what you did. I spoke to her, she remembers nothing. Nothing of your lies.” “You’re that besotted with her?” Draco asked tiredly, feeling sorry for Nott all of a sudden.	2,569	2
30	A Desired Constellation At first he had thought it was another apparition because of the delicacy of her movements. He took another look and he nearly struggled for breath. Time nearly stopped for Draco as he gazed at her longingly. He had never seen anything so stunning...	2,823	1
