The music played softly in the background. Muggle music;Draco would call it. Draco swayed slowly to the music, gently twirling a stand of Hermione's hair in between his fingers.

This was the usual Friday night. Everyone would go to the Quidditch match that night, Draco would fake he didn't feel too well if Slytherin wasn't playing , and Hermione would use her excuse,"I have to study!".

How long has this been going on? Hermione thinks to herself. Hermione releases herself from Draco's embrace, she tilts her head up. Draco leans in , but Hermione turns her head.

"Draco?" She says softly. Draco lets out a Hmph-kind-of-murmur . "When can we stop this." Hermione asks coldly, pushing Draco away. He attempts to embrace Hermione once more but she shakes him off.

"Hermione , I don't know what you me-" Draco starts."No don't give me that Draco!" Hermione interrupts, raising her voice. "Why can't we be like Ginny and Harry , why can't we be like every other person in love here in Hogwarts?" Hermione's voice raising higher and higher.

Draco holds up two hands, to shush her. He was speechless. Hermione never asked questions, she would just go with it. That was the plan ; Just go with it.

Hermione's eyes stared harshly at Draco. Why did it just hit me? Hermione asked herself. Why do I even put myself through this...

Draco lets out a big sigh, " Hermione, we can't do anything about it! You know what will happen! You know that Potter and Weasley would kill you if they knew, I would be the laughing stock of Slytherin! C'mon Hermione, think! What will my father do if he found out?" He couldn't help the words coming out.

Hermione's face stayed straight. Rock-solid. She'd learn this by being called mud-blood for 6 years. " Draco. The game will be over soon. I got to go." She doesn't wait for an , Okay , goodbye, or a hug or a kiss.

She turns on her heel and quickly speed walks out of the Slytherin common room. How long can I last? Half her life was a lie. She lied like it was her job. She lied to her parents, she lied to her friends, she lied to teachers, to everyone. She had always pretended that she didn't mind having to hide her and Draco's relationship.

Hermione also didn't mind that they would have to act like they hated eachother's heart out in front of people, but behind close doors, they loved eachother with all their heart.

Hermione didn't mind. What a lie. She was a lie.

Tomorow, Hermione promising to herself, I'll tell them. It'll be okay. Another lie. God damn, Hermione Granger. She thought as she walked to the Gryffindor dorms.
