Hermione's POV:
My eyes open as I feel a cool breeze sweep over my face. I feel arms tighten around my waist and the cool, damp grass soaking through my jeans.
I look at Malfoy sleeping beside me and I gently stroke his face. He furrows his brow as his eyes slowly open. His smile is radiant, "He should do that more often." I feel myself beginning to smile back.
"Morning, sleepy head." I lean over to kiss his cheek. "Good morning to you too," he smirks sitting up.
"I can't believe we stayed out all night" I giggle standing up. "At least no one caught us, right?" he asks as he reaches a hand out asking for help.
"We should probably go. We are going to be late for breakfast." I extend a hand to grab onto, and I help pull him up.
"Yeah, I'd rather have breakfast alone with you." He winks, "but you're not wrong, I'm starving."
We walk back hand in hand, smiling happily. As we enter the main doors, a crowd of 4th year Gryffindor's stop walking and stare at us. A lot of them look angry, and the rest look confused.
We continue to the great hall, I open the door and let go of his hand saying goodbye with my eyes.
Walking over to the Gryffindor table, everyone is looking at me. Ron is the first to speak up "Where were you last night?" everyone else pipes up "Yeah, where were you?" "We didn't see you last night, or this morning."
"Ok, ok, I was out on a date." A 4th year asks "With Malfoy?" This causes and uproar. "No way" "She would never do that" "Not our Hermione."
"He is right. It was with Draco." They all look so betrayed, I shrink away and start backing away. My eyes are wide, and I breathe shallow, rapid breaths.
Ron's face is getting redder than his ginger hair, and Harry looks like he's going to beat someone up.
I run out of the great hall as fast as my feet can take me.
Draco's POV:
"Weasel and Scarhead are walking over here. What do they want?" I think sipping my pumpkin juice.
"What did you do? Did you curse her? Did you slip her a love potion?" They question, I groan slamming my fist into the table shutting them up. I swiftly get up and hurtle away.
Ron chases after me, I hear him shout "Petrificus Totalus", and I fall to the ground with a thud.
"Ok Malfoy, here's the deal, I love her. You leave her alone, or else." He threatens. I watch, still frozen, as he starts walking towards the door.
I twitch as the spell fades I shout "I knew you loved her, but so do I."
"Who doesn't?" he shrugs as he leaves the hall.
