"This can't be. H-he must've overheard my conversations with Ginny. y-yea thats the reason" Hermione thought to herself. All Hermione knew was that she had to get out of there. She felt a weird feeling about the situation and was certain he was there to play a prank on her. Quickly she made her way to the door only to find it was locked. Brilliant. Not to also mention that she left her wand back in her room after thinking she had no reason to because the one she loved must've been a sweet strong fellow.

"Draco. Let me out this instant!". Tears welled in her eyes. Hermione felt betrayed and lost. She didn't know weither he was lying or not .

"Hermione. please. j-just listen to what I have to say" she turned her head to see his face. His eyes were lost. They were full of sadness. They weren't the usual Draco eyes. They were softer. Hermione dragged herself forward back into the place she had stopped before. He reached his hand out to wipe away her tears only to be smacked down by Hermione. He sighed and his face fell. Suddenly within the palm of his hands, there was a small seed which grew into a beautiful white rose. Her eyes grew in awe of its beauty and how it was proof it was actually him. Draco? The evil bully who always has a sneer on his face is the guy giving such sweet heart-felt letters?

"Draco please tell me the meaning of this"

"well you see white ros-" he quickly said only to be interrupted

"Not the rose the letters you dummy" she said with a small laugh.

Draco gave a soft smile. She was laughing. He was glad she calmed down a bit. He blushed in embarrassment.

"I really do like you Hermione. Those letters really did say everything I wanted to say to you. When I make fun of you, I-i really do hate it. Honestly if I was looking at myself I would've hex myself senseless. But its the only way I ever get your attention. You've always seen me as the bad guy and blimey if I suddenly saying all those sweet words to you I'm sure you would think I'm crazy and avoid me for the rest of your life. Please, can you believe me?"

He held both of her hands and squeezed them softly. Draco looked deeper into her eyes hoping to get the answer hes been dreaming of. She blushed red as the gryffindor color. He gave a shy smile. Hermione. Blushing over him. It was brilliant. This whole moment was brilliant. Hermione looked beautiful with the moonlight settling on her face. With her eyes gleaming and her herself being only inches away from him. He couldn't help move in towards her face. His heart was beating hard and fast. Draco moved his right hand up to cup her face. And he leaned in blushing profusely.

Hermione couldn't believe what was happening. She really did feel like Draco meant what he said. When he leaned in, she couldn't help but let it happen. When his lips were centimeters away, she put her face down.

"I-im sorry I can't...Its just...I'm taking this all in now." She looked up to see Draco's worried look replaced by a disappointed one.

"I understand. to fast aren't i" he gave a small awkward laugh

"I do believe you and all its just...can we be friends for now?" Hermione asked with a bit of puppy dog eyes

He laughed at her cuteness. "of course lovely. Just know I plan to take you sooner or later" Draco said with a wink

She gave him a weird look and laughed as well. Hermione loved his humor in the letters and hearing them out loud from the man himself really made her happy. Hermione has never seen this man this happy. He was honestly glowing. He pulled her into a tight hug and twirled her around.

"Do expect the teasing to stop. I'm sorry If i can't be my complete self like this...You see, if any Slytherin saw me like this, someone might hex you thinking its all your fault."

"How so?" Hermione asked

"Well, you never seen a truly happy Draco have you?" he asked

She laughed at that weirdly true fact. Yes it was true it was weird to see a happy Draco. Some people would ask him if he'd gone mad only to have a sneer reply back. Hermione looked outside the window remembering it was quite late.

"We best be going. I don't want anyone finding me while I'm gone" hermione said

Draco nodded in agreement. They made their way down the hidden corridor and halted at the opening. When they found the corridor cleared they bid their goodnights and went straight to bed.

Draco went to bed alright but he laid there smiling to himself. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He was surely going to get a good sleep tonight. What he didn't see was his friend Blase sneaking glances at his bed and smirking knowing what just went down.

The morning soon came and Draco got ready for school.

"Oh c'mon Blaise breakfast is about to start and I'm hungry" Draco said with his arms crossed

"Food isn't really the only thing your hungry for am I right?" Blaise said with a grin while pulling up his socks. He stood up and laughed at Draco's completely flushed face. Draco pulled his wand out.

"Ok ok on my way to food" Blaise said with his hands up. He made a quoting gesture when he said food which made him laugh even more. They both made their way down the corridor to the great hall. Up ahead Draco saw that familiar bushy hair bobbing up and down. He increased his speed with Blaise following and bumped her shoulder.

"Mornin' Hermione" He smiled only to be replaced with a "deer in the headlights" face when he saw Ron and Harry staring at him as if he was insane.

"Good morning to you Draco" She said with a smile. Ron and Harry's mouths dropped from what they were hearing. Hermione. Talking to THE Draco Malfoy. A Malfoy. Of course Blaise was slightly behind them trying so hard to conceal his laugh. Draco and Hermione had a casual conversation as the 2 Gryffindors stared in awe and the other Slytherin catching his breath for his silent laughs.

They finally made it to the Great Hall and bid their goodbyes.

"Ok, spit it out Hermione. What the bloody hell is going on" Ron said seriously sounding angry (hehe)

"Draco? oh. yea we're friends now" she said as she smothered her salad with sauce (ahahahaha)

Ron looked at harry and harry looked at hermione as hermione looked at the two boys confused.

"You know, he really isn't that bad once you really get to know him" she said annoyed

"Get to know him? Get to know him Hermione? Blimey he was playing around with you yesterday!" Ron said furiously. Harry calmed down Ron and looked at Hermione concerned.

"Hermione, its just that it's kind of odd and we don't want you to get hurt thats all" Harry said calmly

"Just...just trust me on this for now ok?" hermione said with sincerity in her eyes. Harry nodded and forces Ron to nod as well.

Ginny finally came to the table and seated herself next to Hermioine. "so how'd it go" she whispered "It was Draco. all along. I-i couldn't believe it" hermione murmured back. "you didn't reject him did you?" Ginny asked concernly. "No...we kinda just...became friends for now". Ginny smiled. "Well I'm glad about that." The group continued to eat their breakfast and left to go to their classes. Hermione was quickly approached by Draco once her group of friends dispersed to their classes. Usually this would be the time Draco made fun of her, but now it was the time they talked.

"no teasing today hm? My, has the Great Draco fallen?" she said jokingly to him

"More like your teasing me today" he laughed. Deeply inside he wanted to hold her hands and tell her how beautiful she was today. Of course he couldn't do that. They were friends. for now.

"honestly 'Mione you carry too much books" Draco said as he grabbed her books.

Hermione smiled as the weight lifted off her arms

"Thanks for being quite the gentlemen mr. Malfoy" she said with a fun in her voice.

"My pleasure m'lady" he said as he bowed. Of course he forgot the books were in his hands and the slid off onto the ground. Hermione laughed until her stomache hurt and Draco blushed as he quickly tried to get the books. Luckily the corridor they were in was empty so no one was there to see his mess. Hermione bent down and helped him pick up the books. Both of them reached for one and their fingers met. They paused. Draco inched his fingers closer to hers to close in, but hermione quickly grabbed the book and stood up. She held the book tightly as she blushed.

Even for a quick second, he missed her touch. he cleared his throat and bid her a goodbye to his class and Hermione made her way to hers. Hermione walked into her class only to be greeted by Pansy. Hermione sighed not wanting to deal with this brat.

"so Granger. My little friends have been telling me you've been a bit close with my lovely, beautiful hansom-" Pansy cleared her throat knowing she almost went into her Draco daydream. "Draco. What in the bloody hell did you do huh? A love potion? a hex?" Pansy's list went on before the teacher told the students to go back to their seats. The class would last an hour and Hermione knew, she was dead when the clock hit the end of the period.

"And that is all class. My have I ended that early? any questions?" the teacher asked. The class was silent and Hermione threw her head up in annoyance. Now she had to deal with Pansy. "Well, then class is dismissed early then." The students quickly left their seats and made their way out of the room. Hermione saw Pansy and her group made their way out first probably outside the door waiting for her. Hermione rolled her eyes and slowly made her way to the door. She reached in her robe to grab her wand ready to hex them. All she felt was nothingness. Hermione frantically looked through her bag and could not find her wand. "Pansy" she softly whispered. Hermione remembered that one of Pansy's minions sat behind her. Hermione unknowingly took off her robe because she was hot and the girl must've took it then. "Well there's one thing that a witch doesn't know and that is how to fight" she though to herself. She curled her hand in a fist ready to punch the first girl to hit her. She walked out of the door ready to punch when she was lifted off the ground "Wingardium Leviosa!" one of Pansy's minions yelled. They all laughed as Hermione floated in the air. "Drop her" Pansy ordered. Hermione dropped 8 ft off the ground and crashed on the floor with a bang. Quickly Pansy's minions pinned her to a wall as Pansy studied Hermione's wand. Hermione struggled as Pansy smirked. "So tell me. Whats the deal Granger" Pansy said as she wrapped her cold fingers around Hermione's neck. "we-re...just...friends" she managed to say between breaths. Pansy was getting annoyed. The answer didn't satisfy her and her grip around Hermione's neck tightened. "Just friends? Hermione you could come up with a better excuse than that" Pansy spat. Hermione's vision became blurry.
