Chapter 4:
Hermione and Draco were inseparable during the course of the summer. Every now and then they would have a lover's squabble, only to end up snogging under the stars.
Hermione liked to teach him muggle culture, and return he would teach her how to ride a broom.
"I don't think I can do this, Draco." She said with a worried look on her face.
"Just trust me," he reassured. She mounted the broom and held it in place, shaking nervously. He held on to the front of the broom and said, "Just remember to hold tightly, and direct it in any direction. Then you have to will it to move, understand?"
"I think so,"
"Hey," he said putting a hand on her shoulder," I'm right here." He kissed her head and she took off unwillingly.
"Ahhhhhhh!" She screamed. She ranted for a while before it turned into fits of laughter. Draco smirked, little did she know he charmed the broom to move around for her.
After this lesson, she decided to teach him a basic muggle activity, riding a bike. Draco knew about bikes and watched others ride them in the park, he just never really learned how to ride one. The bike itself operated with two pedals on both sides, moving in the same direction, operated by handlebars. It wasn't flying, but Draco loved it regardless.
"Now what happens when you let go?" He asked, slightly scared.
"You'll balance yourself and with the handlebars, you steer in the direction you want to go in."
"And how do I stop?"
"Just squeeze these bars, now go!" she said before giving him a kiss and pushing him forward.
"Woah, Woah, Hermione!" he yelled, realizing she let go. Before he knew it, he was doing it, riding a bicycle!
"Yay, Draco!" she exclaimed, laughing to herself. She herself had failed to mention the training wheels she decided to leave on.
Often times, when her parents were at work, they would spend some alone time at her house. They enjoyed lounging around on the couch in comfortable silence. Hermione would sit in Draco's lap while he watched her completely immersed in another one of her books.
At times when he got tired of watching, he would kiss her neck and watch her fidget mercilessly, trying to shoo him away. Even though they were a couple, he still enjoyed making her angry or frustrated. Then when she would just give up, she would kiss him back, making him extremely aroused. When he tried to go further, she would back away, teasing him. "Revenge is so sweet, that will teach you not to interrupt," Hermione said before hopping off his lap and skipping away.
Draco admitted that he always had a love for writing, and wrote a lot about her. Hermione read aloud:
"Hermione is a special person, someone who I am very fond of. She listens to me and teaches me new things everyday."
"You better give that back, or else," he warned, attempting to grab her from behind. She quickly ran off, continuing to read:
"Every evening we spend under the stars, I often wonder, why would a person of so much passion and love be with me?" they both slowed down at this statement.
"I clearly don't deserve her, for I have nothing to offer. I can't be the perfect boyfriend she wants, but...I love her." she said softly. She turned around slowly to find Draco staring right at her.
Part of him was extremely mad that she had taken his journal and read his secret, but another part told him that she needed to know and she would eventually find out. He looked in her eyes and saw wonder and curiosity, the characteristics he absolutely adored.
Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice how close she had gotten, until she put a hand on his cheek. Bringing him in for a kiss, she paused, barely touching his lips and whispered,
"I love you, too" before bringing him in for a passionate kiss.
