Hermione sat on her bed, deep in thought. "What did I just do?" She asked herself. She had just acted in instinct, curiosity. She didn't regret it. She kind of wanted to do it again. But, what should she do about Draco? She didn't feel for him the way that she felt for Ron. She paced back and forth in her room. She wasn't ready for any kind of commitment, so why did she put the idea in Ron's head? She knew how he felt for her, there was no mistaking that. She slipped out of the Gryffindor common room and went for another walk. Sometimes all she needed was some fresh air. She spotted Draco across the courtyard. He was sitting beneath a tree, by himself. She walked towards him. He looked up and saw her walking towards him. She stopped then and thought that he probably wouldn't want to get caught talking to her. She nodded towards the path leading out towards the forest. He nodded and made sure no one was following him. Hermione took a deep breath planning on what she would say to him. She loathed him. She could not stand him. She hated him. Didn't she? She looked at him, walking beside her. She noticed for the first time his handsome features, his fair complexion and his light hair. She caught his scent on the wind. He smelled good to her. Her heart started pumping. She stopped as they came to a clearing and realized that they had wandered into the woods. Draco looked at her with a smug grin. "Finally come to your senses?" He asked. Hermione shook her head. "No. No…. I can't. Draco, I can't stand you. You are a worthless jerk that bullies people into doing whatever you want." She turned away from him. He stepped closer to her. "That's why you punched me." She turned towards him again, realizing too late how close he was to her. They stood there ….. a mere foot away from each other. "Yes, I'd appreciate it very much if you would leave me alone. Stay away from me." She said. Draco stepped closer. "I mean it Draco, I don't want you within a yard of me." Draco stepped closer, now inches from her face. "I don't see you stopping me…." He said. "I ….. don't…..believe you." He closed the space between them, covering her mouth with his. He kissed her, daring her to respond to him. And she did. Much to her surprise, she kissed him back. She kissed him with just as much passion as she had kissed Ron with only hours ago. She suddenly came to her senses and pushed Draco away from her. She stared at him with a fiery anger. She was angry with herself. Angry with him. He moved towards her. "No!" She yelled at him. He grabbed her shoulders hard, kissing her again. She tore away from him, running towards the school. She left him there, laughing, as she made her get away.
