"He's up to something Hermione, I know it!" Harry said, frustrated.
Hermione shook her head, "He can't be, Harry. Stop going on about it. Professor Dumbledore wants to see you. Another lesson, probably."
Hermione watched Harry leave the library, and sighed. Draco wasn't up to anything...she would know...
Hermione got out her books and started working. The time seemed to roll by rather quickly. If this was called waiting, it sure went by fast.
She looked at her watch. Seven forty-five. He was late. Hermione resumed to her studying and copied down some notes on the known antidotes to poison in the wizarding world. She heard the light footsteps and knew he had finally gotten there.
"Hey, Granger." She heard him say. Hermione kept to her studies and ignored him.
The clock rang. It was eight o'clock. Hermione stood up and gathered her books. When she had everything, she looked up at the boy she was secretly dating. "You're late."
Draco bit his lip. He knew Hermione was mad, and when she was mad...
"I'm sorry...I had to dodge Potter on the way up here and got caught by Pansy and you know she's always going on about how we'd be the perfect couple..." He rambled, and looked back at Hermione. She wasn't moved. He sighed. "And I know this doesn't matter at all, and doesn't make up for the fact that I'm late, and sorry doesn't cut it."
"Too right you are." She said, and then walked briskly by him. Draco leaped after her and caught her elbow on the way out. Hermione angrily spun to face him when Draco leaned his head down and kissed her full on the lips. She forgot that she was angry with him and dropped the books she was holding at their feet, reaching up to twine her fingers in his silky hair.
Draco broke the kiss and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry, but I've been waiting all day to do that." He said, kissing her on the forehead, "The morning started great, I got haggled by Flitwick for that stupid essay-"
Hermione interrupted him, "Oh shove off it, Drake, and stop rambling mindlessly." And then she stopped any objections by kissing him back.
