Ron and Hermione sat next opposite to each other at breakfast in the great hall, it had been two months since Ron had plucked up the courage to tell Hermione his feelings. Since then they were inseparable they would sit making gooey eyes at each other, or simple just sitting next to each other holding hands. Hermione was getting hardly any work done, as she had spent most of her time with Ron.

"Em Ron, your elbow" Harry said laughing, pointing to Ron's elbow which he had just place in his cereal as he gazed at Hermione.

"Oh right, yes." Ron said blushing slightly from embarrassment as he tried to ring some of the milk out of his robe. The slight distraction made Ron aware of another pair of eyes gazing at Hermione, Malfoy's. Malfoy noticed this and looked back to his breakfast.

"What was that about?" Ron said to Harry.

"What was what about?" Harry replied, looking slightly confused.

"Malfoy, he was staring at Hermione. I wonder what he's up to." Ron said looking over to see if Malfoy was doing anything untoward.

"Maybe he loves her." Harry said laughing.

"Eww." Hermione laughed, joining in to the conversation.

"Let's go back to the common room, I feel uncomfortable with Malfoy staring over here." Ron said as he began to stand up.

"You guys go ahead, I'll meet you up there in a minute, I just want to finish this." Hermione said, pointing to her breakfast. Ron nodded, leant over the table and gave her a lingering kiss. He and Harry left the great hall and headed for the Griffindor common room. Hermione waited until she was sure that both Ron and Harry had left the hall. She shot out of her seat and made her way down the side of the Slytherin table, towards Malfoy, giving him a discreet tap on the shoulder

Malfoy watched as Hermione walked towards the doors of the great hall. He quickly followed her out, making sure nobody realised what he was doing. He followed her as she walked towards a discreet corner of the castle. Noticing that every so often she would look behind her to make sure he was following. Once she got to her destination Hermione turned around to face Malfoy, he moved in and gave her a passionate kiss, not noticing if anyone else was around. Hermione pushed him so that she could talk.

"Draco we have to be more careful." She said gasping for air after the kiss.

"What do you mean?" Draco said trying to move in for another kiss, but Hermione pushed him back again.

"I mean that Ron saw you staring at me in the Great Hall, and we can't be doing this in public." Hermione said in an authoritative tone. "Ron or Harry don't know yet, do you know what they would do if they found out. Anyway me and Ron are still going out I mean it's only been two months, I can't just break his heart like that." Hermione changed her tone.

"Your always spending time with weasel and hardly any with me, what about my heart." Malfoy said in an angry tone.

"Don't call him weasel, he is still my friend you know." Hermione snapped back.

"When can we be together?" Malfoy asked.

"Soon, I just have to wait for the perfect moment."

"Andy when will that be?" Malfoy demanded.

"Soon." Hermione said giving Malfoy a quick kiss, melting the ice that had been there just before.

Hermione walked away, not believing the mess she had got her self in to. She had only been with Ron a month when she started to see Malfoy. He came up to her one day in the library, when no one was there, and kissed her. Draco Malfoy, the one who always called her mudblood and taunted her everyday, he came straight up to her and placed a kiss on her lips. The most surprising this was she responded she completely forgot about Ron for those moments, she felt so bad afterwards. She continued though, growing to like Malfoy more each day. Now he wanted her to break up with Ron, she didn't know what to do. She didn't really want to break up with Ron but she equally liked Malfoy, his bad boy image made him seem quite attractive.

"Where have you been?" Ron asked as Hermione walked through the portrait hole, snapping out of her train of thought.

"Oh sorry I had to go and talk to Professor McGonnagle to talk about transfiguration homework." Hermione said, as it was the first thing that came to mind.

"Do you ever think of anything else but homework?" Harry said laughing.

"I think of Ron." Hermione said quietly, this made Ron blush. He still found it hard believing that he was with Hermione, the girl of his dreams. After an hour, of chatting in the common room, it was time for the trio to go to Potions. As they arrived out side the classroom they could see Malfoy standing outside the classroom, no one else was around.

"Weaselby." Malfoy glared at Ron, feeling so jealous of him. He wanted Hermione, Hermione was his not Ron's. He wished he could just blow up Ron and then he could have her to himself.

"I told you not to call him that!" Hermione shouted at Malfoy.

"Come one Hermione, you know that you don't want him or you wouldn't be with me." Malfoy retorted giving a sly smile in Ron's direction,

"What, what's going on here?" Ron said feeling confused.

"You girlfriend, weaselby, has been seeing me in private. It seems that you are not man enough for her." Malfoy laughed.

"Is this true Hermione?" Ron asked feeling worried about what the reply will be, Hermione says nothing. "Why did you do it?"

"You ruined everything Draco." Hermione ran off crying.
