The two lovers knew what would happen if they were discovered in the empty classroom they were currently occupying. If it was a teacher, they would receive detention and both houses would lose points for being out after hours. If it was a student, then the news that a certain Slytherin and a certain Gryffindor were "hooking up" would spread through Hogwarts like wildfire. However, the two sixth years were willing to face the consequences. They were tired of hidden glances and secret touches. The need to show each other how the other felt became too great, and so the secret meeting had been arranged. Neither cared that they were breaking the rules, even though they were prefects. They were both prepared to face whatever happened, just so they could be together for one night.
Even as they left the classroom two hours later, hand in hand, they almost wished they had been discovered.
"Granger, I'm tired of hiding, why don't we just tell everyone?"
"Draco, you know why we can't, and besides, you said it yourself that no one would accept it."
"I don't care anymore! I want to be able to hold your hand in the halls and talk to you in ways other than insults."
"I'd have thought you weren't the kind of person to want to do that sort of thing."
"Well, normally I'm not, but I want everyone to know you're mine, Granger. I won't stand to have Weasel or any other guy's hands all over you!"
"See, that's the major problem, Draco. Harry and Ron won't exactly take kindly to the news that we're in a relationship."
"Well who cares what they think – we're telling everyone tomorrow."
"Are you sure, Draco?"
"What's the matter Granger, scared to be seen with me?"
"No, oh go ahead with your brilliant plan then! I'll just have to deal with Harry and Ron before they end up hurting someone or something."
"Excellent. I'll see you at breakfast then?"
"Yes, goodnight Draco"
"Goodnight Granger"
As she turned to walk away, his hand shot out to pull her back.
"You know what, Hermione?"
"What?"
"I love you"
"I love you too, Draco."
They kissed, and they walked their separate ways, each anticipating the next day's events.
