A/N: I'm sorta blocked on my other two stories right now so I thought this could be the time to try one of my idea stories. I hope you like it.
I think this could go a long way.
Please review and thanks for reading.

Chapter One: The Beginning After the End

Hermione walked across the large Weasley living room and sat down next to Draco on the couch. She crossed her legs and pulled the end of her dress down to cover her thighs.
"You've been really quite tonight." She said.

She turned to face Draco with a small grin on her lips. He looked up from under his long hair with a small smile on his lips. Their eyes met in an instant and he looked away so quickly that Hermione wasn't sure that it even happened.

"I didn't really see a way to get past all of your friends. Their really happy to see you, it's been a long time."

A small sigh slipped from her lips and she replied softly, " I'm sorry about what happened between us before I left."

"I know, me too."

"I mean it. I didn't want things to end like that but I didn't have a choice."

He glanced back at her face and kept looking at her this time.

"Hermione, it's been five years. I know why you left and I also know that a lot of time has past since we last saw each other. Just… Don't worry about it. Okay."

He broke their gaze on each other and stood up to leave but she grabbed his hand to stop him. She stood up in front of him and kissed his cheek. Her lips softly grazed his skin and he could feel his face burn under her kiss.

She leant forward a little more and whispered into his ear, "Just because you didn't see me, it doesn't mean that I didn't see you from time to time."

She turned around, walked away and went up the steps to her room.
Draco was left standing there feeling surprised with his hand softly held to his cheek where she just kissed him.

Flashback:

Five Years Ago…

Draco and Hermione were lying in a pile of blankets on the floor. They were cuddled together, holding hands and briefly kissing each other.
Draco was in bliss and Hermione was feeling dred toward what she knew she must do before the day was through.
It was noon on a weekend and they were at Hogwarts in the Head of House main room. The fireplace was crackling with a hot fire inside of it.
Draco and Hermione spent the whole day together but at the end of the day things went wrong and Hermione disappeared.

Later that night…

Draco was laying in bed waiting for Hermione to walk in and find him naked. He wanted to be with Hermione again. He wanted her all the time, he thought that she was the most beautiful woman that he had ever met and he wanted to spend his life with her.

Hermione finally walked into the room but instead of walking in like the happy person she usually was around Draco, she was upset and it was very obvious.
"Hermione what's wrong? What happened?" He sat up and wrapped a sheet around his waist.

"I can't do this anymore. We can't be together, this isn't working."
Draco rushed over to Hermione and grabbed her hands into his.

"What are you talking about, what happened? I don't understand."
She pulled her hands away from his and took a step back.

"I can't be with you anymore. I got what I needed from you in bed and now I have someone else that can do it."
Draco stepped back and leaned against the bed post. His face dropped and his eyes filled with tears.

"You said you loved me. I thought…" He broke off.

"I lied."

She turned away and stormed out of the room. He collapsed onto the ground and put is face into his palms and started crying.

Hermione walked out of the Hogwarts with tears running down her cheeks. She was never heard from again until five years later and it was by Draco Malfoy.

Present:

Hermione went upstairs to the room that she was using for the night and climbed into bed. She laid on her back looking at the ceiling for hours before she finally cried herself to sleep.
She was thinking about that night and what she did to Draco.

'Can he forgive me?' was the last thought she had before sleep finally came.

Draco laid on the couch staring at the ceiling for a long time before he finally rolled onto his side and fell asleep.

Before he fell asleep he thought about Hermione and the kiss she left on his cheek.
