Draco was true to his word, he did leave Hermione alone. No more calling of names, no more sneaking around, nothing. Draco kept his silence, even when the Prefects had their meetings with McGonagall. They only gave each other a simple nod.
Two years had pass and Hermione felt that her luck had changed. Her grades were getting better, no more Malfoy. She was happy, but everything went against her, when Valentines Day came.
She went into the Great Hall for breakfast and she saw Ginny and Harry sitting beside each other, smiling at each other, laughing together. She didn't want to disturb them, so she sat on the far end of the table. She gazed at the Great Hall, which was covered in faded pink streamers, red and white rose petals were everywhere. She shook her head.
As she looked around, someone had caught her attention. He was about to leave, but he stopped and looked at her. Their eyes had yet again, locked. It had been years since they have encountered this, but Hermione didn't stir. She continued looking at his vivid, gray eyes. He too looked at her, he gave a smile, then Hermione turned away. He sighed as his smile faded away.
Hermione decided to look at him again, but to her disappointment, he was not there. She sighed and went back to her break fast.
As usual, every Saturday morning after breakfast, she would go to the library. She got a book and made her way to her usual place. But as she got there, there was someone in her place already.
The sun shined from the open window and shined directly on Draco, making him seem like he was sent from above.
"Out of all the places, all the places, why in mine?" she thought. She rolled her eyes and sat on the chair opposite of his.
"Surprise to see you in the library Malfoy." She said. She waited for his reply.
"Is there something wrong with that Granger?'" he said, not looking at her.
"You're sitting in my place ferret."
"No need to get feisty Granger, it's just a library." He said.
She was irritated by his annoyance, although he was quite right, it was just a library. Draco and Hermione were the only people there, not unless you count Madam Pince, who was having trouble sorting out the hundreds of books, piled up n her table.
To break the silence, Draco asked a least expected question. "How are you Granger?"
"I beg your pardon?" she asked in doubt.
"Didn't you hear me Granger?" he smirked. "How are you?" he repeated.
Hermione was puzzled with his question and stayed silent. "Aren't you going to answer me Granger?"
She stared at him with anger, why did he anger her so much? Even at a simple question, it made her angry.
She looked at him carefully, seeing if it wasn't a joke. His blonde hair shined with the sun, his complexion was fair. It seemed to Hermione that he wasn't joking. He suddenly looked at her, he raised an eyebrow.
She returned her book. Just as she was about to read again a sudden feeling had erupted in her stomach, a feeling of butterflies. It was something new, yet it seemed that she had felt it before. She placed down the book and stood up. Draco stood up too.
"Now where are you going Granger?"
"It's none of your business."
"C'mon Granger, it was just a question." She grabbed her arm.
She looked at him fiercely and he went closer to her. He smirked. The butterflies inside her stomach began to move rapidly, her heart beating so hard that it would burst any minute. She felt nervous.
He smirked. She felt a rush of nervousness. And out of no where, she kissed him.
Surprised, he kissed her back. She wrapped her arms around his strong shoulders and he placed his hands on her back and her hip. Hermione could feel his soft lips moving against hers. Love grew as they kissed more passionately. Draco had been waiting for this moment for years.
Moments passed and Hermione snapped back to reality, she quickly pulled away. Draco looked at her with confusion. She felt angry at herself, for letting her feelings take over, it wasn't suppose to be like this. She apologized and ran away.
Draco followed her until she finally stopped. She was in an abandoned classroom, far from the rest of the classrooms they were using. He saw her, burying her face in her hands, silently crying.
"Hermione, are you alright?" he sympathetically asked.
She looked at him, her eyes red and heavy. "Do you think I'm alright Malfoy?"
"Uh, "he scratched his head. "No, I-I'm sorry."
"No Malfoy, I'm sorry." She stood up and fixed her skirt. "It wasn't suppose to be that way." She left the hollow classroom, once again, leaving Draco behind.
Hermione went to the Astronomy Tower. The clouds were heavy and dark, filling up the sky, the rays of the sun, almost gone. Soon, little drops of rain started falling from the sky. She didn't hesitate; she wished the rain would wash away what she did moments ago. Now that her secret's out, she couldn't stop thinking about him.
Seconds later she was soaking wet, she shivered as the chilly air blew. She sighed. She felt tears trickle down her cheek although she couldn't tell if it was a tear or a drop of rain. The door opened violently and Draco came out of the shadows.
"Hermione!" he said, taking out his cloak and putting it on her shoulders, she brushed it away, and it fell to the floor.
"I don't need your help Malfoy." She said gloomily.
"I didn't offer you help Granger." He replied. She looked into his gray eyes, his beautiful, gray eyes. He smiled sympathetically.
"The cat's out of the bag now ey?" he said, trying to cheer her up. She nodded. She looked at her feet as she waited in the silence.
A sign of happiness filled her, as he lifted up her chin. He smiled again, "How long?" he anxiously waited for her answer.
She gulped a massive amount of air, "Since you told me to look at you. . ." she paused. "right, on this very same spot."
He smiled, and finally she smiled too. The two went close together and their lips touched, warming every single part of their bodies. Hermione now loved the touch, the taste of his lips moving against hers. Their foreheads touched as Draco held her closer to him. The rain changed to a heavy drizzle. They placed their lips together again, Draco's hands running up and down her back, her arms clutching his blonde hair. Hermione started loving Valentine's Day, ever since Draco went into her life.
Their passionate moment came to an end, as another person had opened the door. Hermione was terrified, Draco went in front of her trying to protect her. The mysterious figure went out of the shadows. Draco was astonished by who he saw.
"Father."
