"I love you' he softly whispered into her ears. The voice didn't sound as cold as it did before. Now it just feels like the warm breeze of summer within her ears. Yes Hermione Granger was in love. With who you ask? Well, she's in love with no one besides Draco Malfoy. Ferret boy as she used to call him. But now she just wanted to call him Draco.

The words echoed through her head. But then something hit her. I can't love you. she thought. "Draco I-…" she started

" I know you can't" he interrupted "but I just wanted you to know" he continued.

It had only been the start of the war but he couldn't help but tell her how he felt. He didn't want to wait for her to be there on his deathbed as he murmured the words "I love you". Draco Malfoy was no longer a death eater. He never wanted to be one. Ever since he and Hermione became head boy and girl of their houses they shared a common room. One accident started their friendship.

-----Flashback--------

he just came from a tiring practice and he stumbled on a bunch of books on the floor, falling flat on his face. " what the- GRANGER!" he bellowed.

Her head popped out from her room, "What do you want ferret boy?" she asked frustrated.

" To get your damn books of the floor before I fall on my precious face. I want all the girls to see how handsome I am before I sign their autographs" he said.

"Keep your trousers on! If only you were watching your way, you wouldn't have fallen on your pompous face" she said giggling

"is that so?" he started. "Well if you just kept your books in the shelves and not on the floor I wouldn't have tripped on them".

"well if you just look at where you were going and stopped putting your nose high up in the air you wouldn't have fallen flat on your face."

"Whatever! Just clean up the-" but before he could finish, he tripped on another pile of books and broke his nose." Look at what your books have done!" he said pinching his nose to stop the blood from running down his face.

" oh stop whining!" she said walking towards him and muttering a few words. Hogwarts has held healing classes every Saturday in preparation for the war. And of course Hermione just had to join. Most of the girls joined in they didn't want to go on the field. On the other hand, the boys were attending dueling classes.

"There." She whispered. Her eyes fell on his cold gray ones. But as she stared deep inside his eyes she realized that they weren't as cold looking as they usually are. She felt happiness between his eyes. He stared right back at her eyes never noticing how beautiful they were. He couldn't resist himself he just had to kiss her.

He couldn't contain himself any longer. He just had to have her. He leaned in slowly but she pulled away. " good as new" she muttered. She started picking up her books. Bending down to pick each and every of her precious books. He looked at her pick her books up. "Th-tha-thank you" he stuttered the words out of his mouth. Her books fell on the floor again.

"your welcome" she said in a hurry as she trembled around and hurriedly picked her books up. She walked up to her room checking if she picked all of her books. " You missed this" Draco said running to her. She turned around and Draco fell on her lips. At first it felt nice. She liked it a lot.

They didn't stop for a few seconds till Hermione backed away when Draco placed his hand at the back of her head. He breathed heavily as if he came from deep see diving. She blushed a deep shade of scarlet and spun around and opened the door to her room.

She closed the door slowly and leaned on it. She blushed even more. On the other side of the door Draco muttered to himself " you just had o do it Draco! You just couldn't hold yourself could you?"

Hermione poked her head around the door of her room and cleared her throat.

"Draco" she called

"Yeah?"

"Thanks by the way, for the book"

" No problem"

she closed the door slowly and said to herself "did I just call him Draco?"

on the other side of the room he said to himself "did she just call me Draco?"
