What happens in the library, stays in the library?

POV Hermione

It was dinner time, but, unlike others, I was in the library. I was looking for a potions book that would allow Harry, Ron and I to transform us into any other person, but my research wasn't going any good. I had been there for, probably, more than six hours. A few hours ago Harry and Ron promised me that if I wasn't in the Great Hall for dinner they would bring it to me so I could it a little bit; so when I heard someone saying out loud my name I assumed that it was one of them. But it wasn't like that.

- Draco? What are you doing here? – I told him very dryly. I was very mad at him for what he had told me some days before.

- What's wrong? Can't I be here? A filthy mud blood is prohibiting me to stay in the school library?

- Listen to me you spoiled boy, I've just asked you what where you doing here, I haven't prohibited you anything or I've told you anything so you could insult me. The library is really big, why don't you go somewhere else? – I tried to sound as sharp as possible; I couldn't permit that that racist boy made me feel so bad for being who I was and for coming from where I come from.

- The truth is that this hasn't turned out as I thought.

- What?

Suddenly Draco Malfoy's cheeks turned red and his eyes, that normally they would intimidate you, now they were the opposite, his eyes were shy and insecure.

- I haven't seen you in the dining room and I've thought that maybe you would be hungry, so I've brought you some food.

From his robe a napkin came out, and it wrapped something, by the context I supposed it was food. Without looking at me he left it on he table that was in front of me and he left. When I was alone among the shelves I opened the napkin and I found some potatoes, a grilled chicken thigh and a piece of pumpkin cake. I ate it all very quickly, it hadn't been until the first piece of potato came into my mouth that I didn't realise how hungry I was.

Once I finished I started to cross all the corridors, I sought and didn't find; there was something inside me that pushed me to go faster and faster, I ended running and moving my head right and left. When I found it I stopped immediately. When I found him I was breathless and it made it difficult for me to react.

- You're here! – He said to me, letting out a little smile in his face. – How did you know that I hadn't left?

- The door. It hasn't made any sound, if you had left then it would've sound.

His look, smiling, avoided my eyes and he stood there looking at his feet. In that moment I realised that even if he was the heir of slytherin, he wouldn't be able to kill all the muggle-borns of the school, he wasn't as bad as he pretended to be.

He stopped looking at his feet and he set his eyes on mine. I had never paid attention to the greyness of his eyes, it made them so unique. Suddenly I felt how a trembling hand stroked my hand, then my arm and after, my cheek. I noticed a tingling sensation in all the parts were he had touched me. He took a step forward, letting less space between us, and like that two times more, leaving as little space between us that the end of our noses touched. I was really nervous, never had I lived a moment like that. Never had I felt butterflies in my stomach. I had never kissed a boy.

Without taking his eyes of me, with a hand he stroked my cheek, and with the other one he grabbed my face and pulled me closer to him. We shut our eyes and in that moment I felt an explosion inside me. I was a very humid and passionate kiss. I felt the need of having him closer, so I grabbed him by his waist and I took him closer to me.

I'll never know how much longer would have that kiss gone, because its end arrived with the interruption of Harry and Ron that came into the library shouting my name.

- What do we do now? What shall we say?- I asked him, scared as death and separating me from him.

The happiness of his eyes had turned off, the proximity feeling that I had felt before had disappeared. Now I felt him far and cold. My friends arrived were we were. Because they hadn't seen what happened before, they didn't notice nothing strange with the posture that Draco was having with me. The boy that before was smiling at me and kissing me now was looking at me with indifference. They looked at him with anger and they got me by my arm and took me away from him without letting me say goodbye.
