Draco and Hermoine always had to 'pretend' to hate each other. The truth was, they liked each other. A lot. Draco hated doing this because the things they said to each other were so foul.

They had a little rundown in the corridor when Draco bumped into Harry Potter, one of Hermoine's best friends, but one of Draco's enemies, involuntarily.

"Watch where you run your foul pure blood ass Malfoy." Spat Harry, fuming.

Draco shot Hermoine an 'I'm Sorry" look and spat back, "Well maybe if there weren't mudbloods and muggle lovers invading the place, I'd have less of you to run into wouldn't I?"

"You're foul" said Hermoine, pretending to hold back tears.

"Right back atcha Granger." Said Malfoy, smirking.

Hermoine grabbed the other two, pivoted then walked away just as Ron said," Git".

Making sure Harry and Ron weren't looking her way, she glanced back and saw Malfoy watching her walk away. Her face was starting to burn. She couldn't wait until tonight.

Harry and Ron saw Hermoine's red face and asked her what was up and she just shrugged it off and said, "I just hate Malfoy"

"Don't we all." Said Harry and Ron in unison.

The next day Draco fell asleep to the sound of scratching quills in Double Potions.

"Mr. Malfoy," said a cold voice in his ear, "If you want to keep passing this class, I suggest you wake up."

Draco stirred quite suddenly, then looked at Hermoine and smiled. He quickly turned around at the sight of Harry and Ron glaring at him, and said apologetically, "Sorry Professor."

Draco had been having a very pleasant dream about his amazing late night out last night.

Hermoine and himself had spent most of the night gazing at the stars from the astronomy tower. They had to sneak past Mr. Filch, the caretaker, and quietly make their way up. Draco liked Hermoine, a lot. Unlike any girl he's ever known. He was pretty sure she liked him too. She had just said that they better keep it a secret for now.Seeing as they were in different houses, Gryffindor and Slytherin, and Hermoine's best friend was Harry Potter, keeping them a secret sounded like a good idea to him.

He couldn't wait to go into Hogsmeade with her. She made him feel emotions and feelings that he has never felt before. She was simply just an amazing girl. The night before she had said that she would try to make up an excuse to get away from Harry and Ron. He still hadn't found a place that they would go. Shrieking Shack? He didn't think that would exactly be the right place to go. But sooner or later, he would find the perfect place. Romantic. Private. Peaceful.

Fast asleep in his four poster, Draco tossed and turned. To an outsider, it would seem like he was having a nightmare. But the truth was, he was too excited for this weekend. It was amazing how much Draco cared for Hermoine. He wanted to kiss her, but he hadn't worked up the nerve or figured out how she would react. He had never known Hermoine to date anyone. Hermoine is the kind of girl that never gets in trouble and is top in their class. Usually Draco wouldn't like that, but Hermoine was doing things to him. Things he's never felt before. Emotions. Feelings. He never felt like this about anyone. He didn't know what she was doing to him. But whatever it was, he didn't want her to stop.

The next day, Draco couldn't get Hermoine out of his head. She was like a bad headache, but good. They always crossed each other in the corridor; and Draco tried so hard not to look at her or show any interest in her. He wanted so badly to be able to go up to her, kiss her passionately, without the snarls or snares from fellow students. He hated this hiding thing. He wanted to be with her. If the friends he thought were friends were true to him, they wouldn't care who he dated. But it wasn't necessarily his side of friends; it was more Hermoine's. Harry Potter had caused so much agony in the Malfoys' lives that they simply hated each other. Draco always thinks how nice it would be to be friends with Harry. He remembers the day whenever he had asked Harry to hang out with him like it was yesterday. But Harry had chosen a different friend path, Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger. Not being able to see Hermoine all the time frustrated Draco. He wanted to see her; needed to see her. And he was pretty sure she felt the same way too.

Snowy days, cold hands, and the occasionally cold spreading, meant that winter was here; and soon to be Christmas. There was always a Hogsmeade visit before they went on break to their families. This meant alone time for Draco and Hermoine. As the days that turned into weeks passed, Draco was losing his mind. He wanted to talk to someone about his life, and most of all, he wanted to talk to Hermoine.

Hogsmeade has been canceled because of the weather forcing Draco to lose his mind. In between classes, he saw Hermoine in the corridor, marched right up to her, and kissed her. He ignored the whispers all around him and looked right into Hermoine's eyes and said "I've been waiting for that moment forever. Now, no more secrets" he winked at her and continued on down the hall.

Now that that burden was lifted off his chest, he needed to find a way to deal with his friends. Because everyone knows that things spread fast at Hogwarts. And sometimes a little too fast. He didn't even get time to think through what he was going to say to everyone without the occasional snarls about him. First, he needed to deal with Pansy. She needed to understand that she was just his right hand girl. They had never determined how much farther in the relationship they wanted to go. For her, she wanted to be an item, for him, he wanted them to be friends. Just friends. He thinks Crabbe and Goyle, on the other hand, really don't care who he dates seeing as Draco is kind of the 'boss' of them.

After everyone on Draco's side was dealt with, it was Hermoine's turn to make Harry and Ron see reasoning.
