The Kiss
It was Christmas time and Hermione had been avoiding all doorways as much as she could. Dumbledore had put enchanted mistletoe up. If two people of the opposite gender walked under it they wouldn't be able to leave until the followed tradition.
Draco Malfoy was one person that most girls tried to get under the mistletoe with. So far he had kissed about the entire 7th year and a few girls from lower years, some who had done it on purpose some by accident.
3rd year and below were not aloud to participate. They were to young.
So far Ron had Pansy Parkinson, Harry had kissed Ginny and Daphne Greengrass and Hermione had kissed no one.
That morning was when her luck ran out. She walked under the mistletoe but couldn't go into the Great Hall for lunch because none other than the Draco Malfoy had walked under with her.
The entire hall gasped including the professors.
All of a sudden there was an ear breaking scream. It wasn't from Pansy Parkinson but from Hermione Granger herself.
"No, I refuse to kiss him." She said with a disgust she could manage.
"I'm sorry Miss Granger but you have to unless you want to stay there for the rest of the year." Dumbledore said, trying to contain the smile that was forming on his lips.
"Fine, I will stay here until the end of the year then." She said crossing her arms. Hermione looked at Dumbledore and could tell he was trying not to smile.
"Oh, go ahead and smile, you just wait until it's one of your teachers stuck under here." She said.
She could imagine it now when Snape and McGonagall got stuck under this cursed plant; no one would be able to go to class.
'Well that maybe a good thing not to go to Snape's class but Harry and Ron weren't so good at Transfiguration.' Hermione thought.
She was brought out of her thought when she noticed Draco yelling.
"I am not going to stay in here all year." He said and started to walk towards Hermione.
"Even if it means kissing a muggle born." Draco said.
"Oh, no. You stay away from me." Hermione said backing away from Draco.
"I am not staying here all year so either I kiss you or you kiss me but either way we are going to have to kiss." Draco said backing Hermione into a wall.
"But...uhh...you're not my type." She said her back hitting the wall.
The entire hall laughed.
"I really don't care." He said standing in front of her getting ready to kiss her.
The whole Great Hall was silent.
"But what about not coming out until after graduation?" Hermione whispered quietly to him.
"I don't care. This is the perfect time." Draco said and brought his lips down to Hermione's.
She met him the rest of the way and they were kissing. This kiss was no ordinary kiss.
Hermione and Draco suddenly were floating in mid air.
Everyone in the wizarding world knew that when a couple started to float when kissing they were soul mates.
The kiss ended and Hermione and Draco slowly floated back down. They were staring at each other and didn't notice the entire hall looking at them till someone started to clap.
Dumbledore was clapping. The teachers followed his lead, even Snape.
Suddenly the entire Great Hall was clapping. Some, Hermione guessed it was Seamus wolf whistled.
Hermione blushed and looked at Draco.
"I think they want and encore." Draco said and kissed Hermione again.
Hermione knew that even though Harry and Ron would give her a hard time and Draco's parents would give him a hard time, that this is the person that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
And she would all because of a kiss.
