It was a quiet day for her; she went to all her classes. She smiled when she needed to; she walked with her two best friends back to their common room and then she would return to her own separated dorm with the head boy. When she got to her common room she looked around, the head boy wasn't around so instead of just going to her room to hide from him she went to lie down on the plush leather couch that was next to the fire that had died from last night. She knew she was about to lose what she'd been holding in all day long. The pain of being ignored, the pain of losing someone she was beginning to fall for. She knew it was a long shot, being in love with a Slytherin, but she couldn't help that she had begun to fall for the blond Slytherin.

She's always watching her window, waiting for that letter she knew she would never receive again because they were over, but she was always hoping things would go back to the way they have been. Talking nonstop about anything and everything, but she knows that it won't go the way she wants. It never does. She misses him, misses hearing how happy he is now that the war is over and he is free to be with anyone he pleases without his father down his back. She never wanted to get hurt; she never wanted any of it but she should have been expecting things to not go as she wanted them to go. It was so unexpected, and now she can't go back. She wishes she could, to forget ever telling him how she felt. As the tears roll down her face, she thinks back to that one night a few months ago when things had just started.

That night when he asked for her to meet him in the astronomy tower (earlier that day) at midnight she got nervous. She had no idea what to expect, he was supposed to be the enemy, but since the war had ended and they were in the last of the first quarter they had begun a sort of friendship. With him being the head boy and her being the head girl, they had to be friends, of sorts.

When midnight nears, Hermione began to get nervous, she had no idea what was to come from this meeting, and she knew she was already falling for him. She looked down at her watch, there was twelve minutes before she had to leave, and not wanted to be late she grabbed her sweater and slid it over her head and walked to the portrait hole, debating on whether it was a good idea to go or not, about two minutes later she was found walking in the direction of the tower.

When she reaches the stairwell for the tower she takes a step and then hesitates, then decides to just go ahead, she thinks to herself, what is the worst thing he could do? Finally when she's at the top of the stairs she reaches for the doorknob only to be surprised that it's already open.

"Draco?" she whispers quietly.

"Hermione is that you?" he asked from the shadows.

"Yeah, where are you, I can't really see."

She hears a quick "lumos," and is acquainted with a small smile from Draco. "Hello Granger, I was shocked to see that you came."

"Well you know me, I like a challenge." She said with a small smile, nervousness slightly forgotten.

"Well still it's a surprise to see that you actually came, I was afraid you would chicken out," Draco said walking slowly over to where she stood. "The clouds are a bit heavier than I thought they would be, but I guess wand light is better than no light at all huh?" he said with a small chuckle.

"You're in a good mood, considering the time, why so late?"

"Well I was going to show you something, you always talk about how much you love the stars and how much you wished you had a telescope to look through to actually see them as clearly as you saw in all the books you had read, but the weather just wasn't going my way, I am sorry about that."

"Draco that is the sweetest thing a guy has ever done for me, and it's okay. It's the thought that counts, so thank you, I really appreciate it." Hermione said and closed the distance with a tight hug.

He wrapped his arms around her without a second of hesitation, hoping that if things go right she would soon be his. "I'm happy that you like my surprise, I just wanted you to be happy. Every time you talk about the stars you get this glint in your eyes, and you get the most ridiculous smile when you even mention your favorite constellation, I like seeing you happy." Draco said as he rubbed her back soothingly.

They stood there for what seemed like a life time before she pulled back and looked into his eyes, they seemed to hold something she's never seen before, but before she could ask what he was thinking he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. It was a quick kiss, but it left a tingling feeling on her lips when he pulled back. He had that silly grin he showed only for her, because he saw the reaction she always had when he gave it to her.

"What was that for?" she asks him smiling.

"I don't know, maybe I just wanted to kiss you. You have soft lips miss Granger."

"I hadn't noticed." She said with a wink.

"You know I've been thinking, since we have this new found friendship why not take it to the next level and be my girlfriend?" he asked raising an eyebrow at the suggestion.

"Draco, I would love to be your girlfriend, but what would your friends say?"

"I don't know if you've noticed but the only friends I have are Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle."

"Draco… I just don't want them to turn on you, with me being a mud-"

"Don't you dare say that word, I can't stand it."

"That never stopped you from calling me it before, you seemed to enjoy that I was the filthy little mud-"

"Granger please don't I'm sorry for ever calling you that. I was rude and under my father's beliefs, I never believe that people were underneath me like the gum on a person's shoe. I felt bad every time I called you that, seeing you cry that year when I called you that, I was sick to my stomach for the next few days."

"I know, and I forgave you. I'm sorry I didn't know that the word was a sore spot for you."

"So is it a yes then?"

"Yeah it's a yes, but can we keep it just to ourselves for a while, I need time for Harry and Ron to see that you've changed. They are still skeptical about what you said at your trial, but I promise in time I will tell them."

"I just want you to be happy Granger, and if that means being with me and it being kept a secret I'm okay with that. Just as long as you don't forget that you're mine and I'm yours, than everything will be good." Draco said giving that goofy smirk again.

"I am happy, you make me happy Draco," she said as she tightened her grasp around his neck and pulled him in for another quick kiss. "We should be getting back to the dorm though, I still have to study and get my homework done."

"Granger it's the weekend, you have all the time in the world to get them done."

"I know but I don't want to risk it not getting done, you know with distractions." She said winking and pulling away from him.

"Granger you'll be the death of me if you keep on winking at me."

"I know that's why I do it," she said with another wink and then ran to the door and through it open.

"Granger slow down, I would actually like to hold your hand as if we were dating," Draco said as he caught up to her and grabbed her hand and linked his fingers through hers.

"I could get used to this hand holding, your hands are really soft Draco."

"Well until you tell your friends, not pushing, you might not get used to it so quickly."

"I'll try not to get used to it."

When they reached the portrait hole and said the password, Hermione when into her room and grabbed her book bag and sat it on the table and started pulling out her homework. Draco rolled his eyes and went into his room, grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower.

When Draco was out of the shower he dressed in some loose fitted pajama bottoms and a black tank top, and then walked out into the commons on to discover Hermione asleep but still hunched over her homework.

He smirked and then walked over to her side, pulled the quill out of her hand and swung her arm over his shoulder and picked her up with ease. He was about to put her in her room when he remembered she had a lock ward on her room, so he instead went into his bedroom and laid her down on his bed. He was about to leave when she reached out and grabbed his arm, "Stay with me Draco," she whispered barely audible, but he heard her. He went over to his side and slid in behind her, wrapping his arm protectively around her waist he pulled her to him and fell asleep just like that.

That was the first night Hermione and Draco had shared together, the night that she would never forget, it was hard to think that he was just two months ago. The feeling of him holding her protectively, it always comforted her to know that he was protective over her. At some point Hermione had fallen asleep on the couch and was awoken when she heard the portrait door close, it was Draco.

"Oh um, I'm sorry if I woke you…" Draco said standing there awkwardly.

"It's okay; I was tired from all the homework they seem to pour onto us right before winter break." Hermione said standing up and stretching, Draco watched as her shirt inched up over her belly showing her perfectly toned skin and body.

"Yeah I know it's been crazy these last few weeks," Draco said biting his lip in nervousness. This was the first conversation they've had after their breakup; Draco had been avoiding Hermione just as she had been avoiding him.

"Well I should get to bed, I um have a lot to do tomorrow and I don't know that I'll get much sleep if I don't go to bed now." She made to move when he bound across the room and hugged her close.

It was getting to be too difficult to stay away from her; he knew that breaking up with her was the worst mistake he'd ever made. He knew that Ron and Harry were going to be more difficult in forgiving him but he just wanted to show off Hermione that she was his and no one was going to take that away, except for him, he took her away from himself because he was being selfish.

"Look Hermione I am so sorry for not giving you the time to tell Ron and Harry, I was being selfish and I am so sorry for that. You make me happy; I can't let someone who has changed my world for the better go. Breaking up with you was the biggest mistake that I think I've ever made. I hated seeing your face not smile that smile I love, I hated not being able to comfort you, I hated not being able to touch you. I missed the feeling of your body; I missed your soft lips. I can't go any longer without you. I love you Hermione, and I don't care if I have to wait a lifetime for Ron and Harry to accept that I'm with you, because I can wait. I just need you to understand that it's hard for me, when we're down in the commons, seeing you laugh and joke around with the weasel, because I know he has a thing for you, and I can't stand it. I know you miss me, I've seen your stares they haunt me, because they're so blank. I need you Hermione; I can't deal with being away from you anymore."

"Do you know how long I have waited for you to say this; I know it's hard on you. I knew it was going to be hard on you, and I am so sorry that I made you feel that way. I love you too Draco, I always have and always will."

He kissed her feverishly, trying to get as close as possible to her without hurting her.

"I've miss these lips, I've missed this body." Draco said running his hands down the side of her body.

"Draco take me, I want you all of you right now."

"Are you sure Hermione, you know you don't have to if you don't want to. I can wait."

"Draco if you don't take me into that room I swear to god I will drag you into that room and have my way with you," Hermione said running her hands down to the front of his pants and unbuckling his buckle.

He bucked his hips as she ran her hands down his boxer-clad cock, up and down.

"What do you want Draco?" she asked in a husky voice.

"I want you to suck me," he said as she pulled down his pants and boxers.

"Your wish is my command," she said as she licked up and down his cock, slipping the tip in and then going back to the routine she'd set. Draco moaned loudly, bucking his hips which caused his cock to slip all the way into her throat.

"Patience baby, I'll get to that." Hermione said slipping the tip back in and then went back to licking up and down, then slipping the tip back in she continues to push her mouth forward wrapping her soft luscious lips around his whole shaft, before pulling back and then pushing forward again. Eventually they found a rhythm, as Draco slapped his cock into her throat, and her head bobbed with the motion.

Just when he was about to cum she slid her teeth across his cock and pulled her mouth off it.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked as he began to pump his throbbing cock, she stopped him, grabbing on to his cock she whispered in his ear, "I want you to fuck me."
