Hey! I know it's only been a day but a certain friend *cough* Sabrina *cough* is eager to read on (and bribed me with cookies).
Oh and thanks to the people who took precious time to read and review!

Chapter 2: Are you serious?
"Friend? Ha! We're barely acquaintances!" she laughed.
Draco gave her a content frown. He released a bored sigh. "So Granger, tell me. It's has been three days since term started. Where have you been the past two days?" he asked. Someone could have easily mistaken his question as worry, but in truth, he was being the curious prat she knew and hated.
'More like knew and loved' said the voice in her head.
Love? Hermione had always thought of that word. But never thought about pouring it out to the ferret who singlehandedly ruined their 7 years at Hogwarts.
'Me? In love with Malfoy? The day I love that Albino git is the day I die'
This was her last year in Hogwarts. The day she received her Hogwarts Letter was also the day she received her badge. Her emotions were mixed with mirth and melancholy. She was happy to have placed on such an honorable position, forlorn because of having to spend much of her valuable time patrolling the grounds with the head boy.
Shaking away her thoughts she quickly removed her glare at dead space and gave Draco a nervous look. "I-um… well… I wasn't able t-to catch the train. Yes, that's right. I was not able to catch the train." said Hermione nodding while fidgeting with her fingers.
He cocked and eyebrow "The how'd you get here?" he said while folding the newspaper and setting it back down on the coffee table. He leaned in, now on the edge of the couch waiting to hear her response.
She started looking around anxious as ever. She was sick and tired of lying. She's lied to McGonagall, Harry, Ron and Dumbledore. Hell, she even lied to her own parents. She couldn't stand the guilt anymore. She needed to tell someone before the guilt would break her down. She skidded beside Draco, she grabbed his tie and pulled him in, their faces only inches apart.
"You have to swear not to tell a living soul of what I'm about to tell you right now. Got it?" she whispered with a deadly tone. He nodded in reply.
She slowly let go of him, realizing the awkward position they were in. She cleared her throat and opened her mouth to say something until-
"Mione'! Are you there? Are you ready yet?" cried out a voice from outside the portrait hole.
Hermione sighed in frustration and closed her eyes to calm herself. She slowly stood up and walked towards the portrait hole. She opened it to find a certain redhead and a brown-haired boy. "Ron! Harry!" she exclaimed. She gave Harry a hug and asked him about his summer with Sirius.
Suddenly, the blonde came up behind Hermione watching the scene. He scowled at them, they didn't notice. When Hermione turned to face the redhead, he pulled her in the waist and kissed her. Hermione, at first, looked surprised with eyes wide open but slowly closed her eyes as she deepened the kiss, surprising Draco. Yes, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are together. They have been ever since summer when Ron asked her in front of his family last August. She couldn't say no in front of them. That would have been rude. She also found him slightly attractive, just slight. She just went with her gut and said yes. She still wouldn't admit to herself that it was a mistake. It really was a mistake.
"Get a fucking a room!" shouted Draco. The couple stopped, interrupted.
Hehe. Short again. I SWEAR I WILL MAKE THE NEXT ONE VERY LONG (that's what she said)
