CHAPTER ONE

It was the middle of the night when Draco looked at the clock again. It felt like he had only been awake for a couple of minutes finishing charms homework. He didn't realise it had gotten so late. He dropped his quill, picked up his wand and headed for the door of the dungeons. He didn't know where to go, but he had the strangest feeling that he had to walk up to the Gryffindor common room. When he got there he stood in front of the portrait, staring at the fat lady, watching her in her sleep. He soon heard crying. He turned around but he didn't see anyone. He walked further down the corridor, and in a corner he saw a girl sitting knees to her chest. Her head was in her hands and she was crying.

"Stand up" he said, pulling out his wand.

"Why should I?" The girl asked, inching deeper into the corner.

"Stand up, you pathetic little..." Draco started, but he realised he was only going to make the girl cry harder. "You're going to wake up the entire castle, and then we'll both get into trouble, is that what you want?" He held his hand out for her, and she took it. He pulled her into the light, and saw her face.

"Oh" he said, taking back his hand. "It's you".

"Draco" hermione said. "What are you doing here? Why are you still awake? Is this some kind of prank?" She looked around, expecting to see Crabbe and Goyle hiding, waiting for the perfect moment to jump out.

" I was having trouble with charms homework and thought a walk would help. Then I heard you."

"Oh" she said. "Well thanks."

"For what" he said.

"Helping. You could have just ignored me. "

"Don't ever mention it" Draco said. "But.. why were you crying?"

"It's stupid, you won't care"

"Yes I will"

"It's about Ron. Hes been spending all his time with Lavender, and she won't even let us be friends because she's so jealous. They shouldn't be together. She doesn't deserve him."

"You love him don't you?" Draco said, feeling disappointed.

"Maybe" hermione said. "I wish I could just forget about him"

"Can I help?" Draco asked, feeling his palms sweat. They looked at each other for a couple of minutes, until Draco noticed hermione had started crying again, and she looked away. He grabbe her cheek and wiped away a tear with his thumb. She looked deep into his eyes. He took her waist and pulled her into his chest. Finally, their lips met. They kissed for what seemed like forever, and then pulled apart. Draco could see that hermione wasn't crying anymore. They looked across the hall and saw Ron standing in the portrait hole. His face turned red and he stormed back into the common room. Draco let go of hermione and tuned to go back to the dungeons. She was left standing alone.
