A/N I was in quite the mood tonight and decided to start this fic. Actually I was listening to a song and the words just started to come out so I started typing rapidly. Please review to let me know what you think and if I should continue this or not. (I know, it's not as comical as I usually go for, but I'm hoping it will be in time.) I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1 Feelings out in the Open

"You don't know it" her voice quavered softly, her hand reaching out to touch the back of his shoulder to which he shuddered slightly at the touch. "But I can see right through you" she whispered.

His eyes fluttered open from being closed. He could feel her fingertips running along his shoulder. It was all he could do to hold back the groan that desperately wanted to escape his lips.

He quickly turned around to face her, his silvery blonde hair hanging over his ice blue eyes, giving a serious expression towards her.

She bit her lip softly and shook her head slightly, her loose curls bobbing around her head and finally settling, looking slightly tasseled, but she still looked sexy to him. Her lips were painted in red and quite pouty. Her eyes were a warm shade of brown and she was built perfectly.

"I've read about people like you" she said, removing her arm from his shoulder to wrap it around herself. A chill from the night air had been sent down her spine. Above the two seventh year students, the stars glistened and the moon was full. The sound of a werewolf call was made in the distance.

He chuckled to himself slightly. "You can't read about people like me in books, Granger. Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just not possible" he said softly.

Moonlight shimmered in her eyes as she turned and put her hand on the ledge of the terrace of the Astronomy Tower, looking out at the Hogwarts grounds, how peaceful it all was during this calm, quiet night.

"I've watched you for quite some time, Malfoy. I know more about you than you think that I do. Sharing a dormitory doesn't help you much either, but it gives me more of a chance to get inside your mind. I know you've seen me watching you, and I've seen you watching me, so it's only fair" her soft voice whispered.

He turned her to face him and looked at her. They looked into each others eyes for a moment and Hermoine quickly looked away. She very well couldn't possess feelings for the boy who had taunted her all throughout her previous 6 years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

He was feeling the same. His father would personally murder him if he found out what was going on that very moment in the Astronomy Tower between the two love birds. Well, his father already had plans to murder him since the past March when he had disowned his family. And it was now already the beginning of October and he had received many death threats from his father's fellow Death Eaters. Not like his father could give him many; he was still locked away in Azkaban, waiting for the Dark Lord to set him free.

"T-this can't happen" Hermoine said, her lip trembling, holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

His arms slowly gliding along her waist. "Why not?" he asked looking from her lips to her eyes and back again.

She shivered as his fingers ran up and down her spine. "Blaise" she said softly and closed her eyes letting the tears silently fall down her face.

Draco let out a sigh and pulled her closer, letting her rest her forehead on his shoulder. He inhaled the scent of her hair. Apples. That was all that he could smell.

Her hands ran up his chest and around his neck. "What am I going to do?" she asked herself. He kissed her forehead gently and she turned to look up at him.

He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well what is it you want to do?" he asked her, caressing her cheek with his palm, tilting her chin up slightly.

Her eyes fluttered and her cheeks were tinted pink. He brought his lips down on hers softly at first. He felt her sink into him and kiss back. This was heaven on earth for both of them and they knew it. It was what they had both wanted for so long.

But what they wanted was not what they could have for Hermoine loved her boy friend Blaise very dearly. He was Draco's best friend, and Hermoine couldn't help but love them both, and she knew she wouldn't be able to do this for very long.

She pulled away and bit her lip once more, her eyes still slightly glazed over from the tears she had had.

"We'd better go down now. Blaise knows that the rounds don't take this long and he'll be waiting in the common room" Hermoine said, her head hanging slightly.

Draco cleared his throat and stood up tall, wiping the dust off of his Head Boy badge. "Well, let's get going then" he said and took his position of three feet away from her.

They walked to their common room in complete and utter silence, but before entering Draco slipped a piece of parchment into Hermoine's hand. She looked down at it and then up to Draco's eyes. She could've sworn she saw a glistening tear on his cheek but he turned away too quickly for her to take notice.

She quickly slipped in into her pocket and walked into their common room to find her boy friend of the past four months sitting on the sofa, waiting for her to return.

"What took you so long? Your rounds have never taken that long before" Blaise said almost immediately, rising from the couch, his dark hair covering his dark eyes which had shot towards Draco.

Hermoine put her hand on his chest. "It was nothing; we just got into a spat with Peeves. Don't worry about it" she said, collapsing on the couch and glancing at the clock which read eleven thirty-five.

Blaise looked at the quite exhausted Hermoine, shrugged and sat down beside her, his arm draping around her shoulder.

Draco was watching the scene from his door. He knew Hermoine hated how Blaise always draped his arm around her shoulder; she'd much prefer if it was secure around her waist.

Draco knew more about her then he ever thought he would know about any girl and every little detail about her interested him.

Hermoine glanced up at the clock once more and yawned, making it noticeable to Blaise, hoping he would get the hint and leave.

Not being able to watch the scene any longer, Draco entered his bedroom leaving the couple alone.

Blaise heard the door click shut and turned to Hermoine and smiled seductively. "So do you want to go to your room now?" he asked, his hands wandering down her body, feeling every curve beneath him.

Hermoine yawned again and shook her head no. "As much as I'd like to, I need to get some rest. We do have that Advanced Potions test tomorrow, and I need to get up early to study, and oh, you know how I get" she said.

Blaise frowned slightly then smiled a bit and kissed her cheek. "I suppose you're right" he said and sighed lightly. "Until next time?" he asked and she nodded.

He took her hands in his and kissed her deeply. She felt ashamed about earlier, but kissed back anyways. After pulling their lips away from each other he whispered "I love you."

She looked at him for a moment and smiled slightly. "I love you too" she said and kissed him once more before he departed.

Hermoine entered her bedroom and turned the lamp on and quickly pulled out the piece of parchment that Draco had given her and opened it up.

"I will wait for you, forever. – Draco"

She folded it back up and sighed. Torn between two and no clue what to do. She put the piece of parchment underneath her pillow and proceeded to get her pajamas on. She finally collapsed on the bed and moments later fell into a dreamless sleep.
