Hermione was sitting on her bed in girls was thinking about events that took place during breakfast today. Harry and Malfoy had a fight in bathroom. Harry had used sectumseptra against Malfoy, and now Malfoy was in hospital wing. He was nearly bleeded to death.

She knows he is Harry's enemy ,but he didn't deserve it. Actually Hermione has started to like Draco. She is never going to admit it ever, but she has found him quite distracting during classes. She is always thinking about him. Sometimes she wonders could they might have been together if she wasn't a muggle born.

She walked towards the common room , Harry, Ginny and Ron were sitting there. She went to Harry and said "You have to get rid of that book Harry" Harry looked at her as if she has gone mad."No i Cant" he said

"Harry how can you stand for it after what it landed you into?" she asked him. "But Hermione it helped me so much to get that memory out of Slughorn" Harry said.

"I think you should use your own skills for grade"

"You r just jealous" Harry said , and he knew he had done a mistake. "If u think that Harry, you are wrong" and before he could said another word , she stormed out of common room.

Anger was boiling in her, how could Harry say that to her when she was thinking for him.

She walked to the hospital wing, and peeked through the occupied bed was that by Malfoy. Madam Pomphrey was no where to be seen. May be seeing him for few minutes would not do me any harm, she slowly walked to him and sat on the chair beside his bed.

Draco was given a potion by Madam Pomphrey so that he could not talk or open his eyes but he could listen till wondered who had come to visit him, as no one has bothered to come yet.

Hermione looked at the damage done by thought he was started to fall on bed, when few tears dropped on draco's hand he was shocked.

Who could be crying for me, he thought.

"Oh Draco", Hermione said softly.

Granger, what is she doing here. did she say my name , he thought

"How could you do this Harry?" she said

As if he is an angel

"I don't think i will ever have the courage to tell you this, so i think i should tell you now."

Oh so she is going to confess something, ah this is going to be fun.

" Draco i think what Harry did was really wrong. I know you are an arrogant git but that does not mean you deserved this. And ... I think i like you... or maybe love you"

Draco was stunned at this , but he then realised that these days something has gotten into him. He kept looking at her whenever he got the chance, she was quite attractive. He liked her boldness, her smile gave him butterflies, as he came to think of it he didn't think about anything but ...he actually loved wanted to tell her that at that moment but crap ...that potion.

She sat there looking at him, happy that she had confessed her feelings although he had not listened to her. May be one day she will have the courage to tell him. She didn't realise when she fall to sleep.

Next morning, Draco awoke first and sat was totally healed. He looked to his left and found a girl sleeping. She looks so cute while sleeping, he thought.

She stirred and sat up. She then looked at Draco, panicked start to rise in was about to run when Draco said "Hermione" she gasped he had said her first name.

"I want to say few things about what you told me last night" he said.

Horror struck her"but u didn't listen anything u couldn't have" she said trying to read his face.

"As a matter of fact, i did"

Good now he is going to make fun of you. she thought.

"I just wanted to say..." Before he could say anything Hermione said "Can you please just forget it? " she asked with a hope of getting out of this humiliation.

" No i can't , can't you just sit quite for a moment.I also have some thing to confess"

Hermione looked at him

"I love you"
