The day after
"Dear Hermione, meet me at the lake at 12 tonight. Love Draco" was the owl that Ireceivedthe next day during morning owl post. I opened it and smiled. I saw Draco looking at me from the Slytherin table. I nodded and he smiled back.
"Hermione, what was in that letter, you are smiling like an idiot." Ron asked with his usual finesse.
"There was nothing in that letter. I am just happy." I led through my teeth. Inside I was jumping up and down madly.
12 came slowly that day. Around 11pm, many of the Gryffindorswent to bed. I stayed down in the common room saying I had to study. I watched the clock go up each minute. When I was sure that people on my dorm were asleep I said "Accio evening gown"
then my beautiful red and gold gown came flying down to me. I got changed from my school cloak and put on my evening gown. It was flowy at the bottom and tight at the top. In the middle- around my waist- was a gold ribbon the was tied into a lovely bow
at the back. By the time I was ready it was 5 to 12 so I had to leave.
When I got to the lake Draco was already there. I looked at him dreamily for a while as the moonlight shone down in his wonderful blonde hair. Eventually he turned around and we locked eyes for a while. He was the first to speak "Hello Hermione, you look
amazing,how are you. I have misssd you." I replied "Hello Draco, I'm good. Better now I have seen you. I have missed you too. How are you? We carried on with small talk for a bit until he got the confidence to make his move.
He came close to me, put his arm round my back and pulled me close. I could hear his heart pounding against his chest as he is taller than me. He leans down and places his lips passionately on mine. I felt heat rise in my body as he tried to deepen the
kiss. I contemplated whether I should let him or not until I decided that is what I craved deeply. As we deepened the kiss my legs began to feel like jelly. I know what your thinking 'this is fast, they only confessed their love last night' and to
down people this would be too fast but I knew that he was the one I wanted and I didn'tcare how long we knew what we meant to each other.
Suddenly I broke the kiss. He pulled back too, looking puzzled. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean your dad won't approve of you dating a-a-mudblood." I got out eventually. He flinched when I said the last word. "I don't care what my dad will approve
of. I love you Hermione Jean Granger and there is nothing anyone can do to change that." He had said to me that he loved me. I was so happy. "Oh and if you dare call yourself a mud blood again I will personally hex you!" He shouted. This made
me jump and he became very apologetic. I just laughed at how bad he felt. He kissed me again with more passion this time. "About time you made the move." I breathed on his lips.
He picked me up and tackled me playfully to the floor tickling me. I laughed and laughed until I couldn't breathe. After about 10 minutes of us rolling around and laughing he was straddled over me and I felt a jump in my stomach. As butterflies filled
it. I had stopped squirming while my stomach settled. He clearly noticed my quick change on movement because he leant down and kissed me while lifting me back on to my feet. "It's getting late, I should get you back to Gryffindor Tower." I nodded.
He walked me all the way to the door then kissed me goodbye lovingly before heading off before the Fat Last woke up and started spreading rumours about us around the school.
When I got in my dorm, I changed from my gown into my pjamas and layer down replaying the pastevents in my head and I couldn't help but smile stupidly to myself.
