Red.
The color of hate, anger.
The tinge of blush dancing across my cheeks.
The color of love.

I pass him in the halls every day. I have class with him every day. I pretend to hate him every day. It hurts, having to pretend to not love the person you can't live without. Unfortunately for us, the rest of the world is not ready for the Slytherin Prince to be in love with the Gryffindor Princess. Harry and Ron would probably kill him, for Pete's sake!
We manage to sneak away to each other every day. The bright spot of my life.

Harry and Ron don't notice as I sneak glances at Draco. With Snape droning on about the properties of newt tears or something equally boring, I do my best to not jump up and kiss him on his beautiful lips." He, knowing I am watching, casually slips his tongue across those wonderful lips. Two can play this game.
After we move seats for the week (inter-house unity) I make sure Draco is directly behind me. Perfect. I raise my red skirt a few inches, sway my hips as the potion boils, and mess my hair a bit. "Accidentally" dropping my knife, I reach down to get it.
"Mr. Malfoy, if you cannot keep your eyes off Miss Granger, you may go to the Headmaster's office."
"Yes, sir."
Mission Accomplished.

After class, Draco grabbed my wrist and drags me into a deserted hallway. And we proceeded to snog for a good ten minutes.
"Hermione? I know you're down here..." Harry's voice trailed off. "Hermione?"
I looked up at Harry with a blush spreading across my cheeks. "Harry, I should probably explain."
"Bloody well, yes!"
I sighed. Life is just not fair.

"So, you see, I have been dating Draco for over a year now. Three years actually." Only wanting to tell the story once, I invited Harry, Ron, and Ginny to talk. Ironically, when I asked Luna if she wanted to come, she said she'd known for years, as well as Neville.
"Three years...we would have been in third year, Hermione!" Ron yelled.
"Brilliant, Ron. You can subtract." I said sarcastically.
"'Mione-being sarcastic? I guess the ferret has changed you." Harry remarked.
"Don't call him that! I have put up with you badmouthing him for years, and now you have to stop. I can't stand it anymore. And before you ask, all the name-calling was an act so you wouldn't be suspicious!" I sighed. "Can't you just be happy for me? I'm happy."
"I am Hermione. I am glad you found love... but if you get married, I call dibs on maid of honor."
"Always* Ginny. Who else? Luna gets bridesmaid, of course."
"What! You're planning on marrying the git?!"
"Ron! What did I just say?! Don't do that! Every girl dreams of marrying their boyfriends."
"Excuses."
"Never, Ron. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go meet Draco." I spun on my heel and left for the Room of Requirement.

Snuggling into his arms, I immediately begin to relax. "It went fine. No problems. Ginny's totally on board."
"Good." With that, he spun me around and placed his lips upon mine. Seconds...minutes...hours passed. Or so it seemed. Of course, Harry had to ruin it.
"Malfoy! Where's your shirt?!" Harry squeaked.
"Slytherin's are too sexy for their shirts, you should know this by now!"
"I shouldn't know that! I don't swing that way!"
"I meant the rumors, you dolt! Now, if you don't mind, please leave. I would like to be alone with my Mione now."
"Why should I..." with a flick of my wand, Harry was dragged out of the room.
"Finally! Peace."

When I awoke the next morning, the first things I saw were the ruby-red sky, and the silvery eyes of the man I love. May I never have to wake without him ever again.
