Sorry for the delay I went away for the weekend and was too busy to even consider the story for this. Anyway here's chapter 4, enjoy!

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is in no way mine to own and nor will it ever be.

Draco stared at Hermione desperately trying to think of something he could say to her question. Anything but the truth would do, in no means would he ever tell anyone let alone Hermione herself that they had kissed. It was a small blessing in itself that she didn't remember but even as he thought this he felt a pang of disappointment which he immediately ignored.

Hermione was staring at him with a curious look on her face, which was a pleasant change actually. Usually she looked at him with something akin to hatred or repulsion, this confusion was therefore a welcome change. He was so preoccupied with noticing the good changes this newfound expression had upon her face. It gave her a softer look which was however rapidly becoming more and more impatient.

"Well Malfoy, from your silence I am going to presume that something did happen. Why you are not relishing the chance to embarrass me and emphasise the fact that I did make a complete fool out of myself I do not know however I do know that if you don't tell me now I'm going to try out one of those new hexes I learnt over the holiday" Hermione snapped at him

Uh-oh so much for soft features, she's pissed off again Malfoy sighed, Granger always seemed to be pissed off at him although he mused to himself I suppose I do give her good reason

"Well you see Granger normally I would delight at an oppurtunity to help the rest of Hogwarts realise what a fool you are, however, at this point in time I have no idea what you're talking about." Malfoy said in a rush trying to make it sound believable.

Hermione lifted the wand she had been casually holding in her hand and pointed it straight between his eyes. Malfoy gulped in a cartoon fashion, he knew that Granger was not one to be crossed when pointing a wand at you.

"Malfoy, I'm going to give you one more chance. Tell me what happened or you're not going to be able to walk for a month" she threatened narrowing her eyes at him.

Draco was looking straight into her eyes now and couldn't help but admire the commandeering nature she possessed. He was not easily threatened but right now if he had boots on he would be visibly shaking in them.

"Look Granger, it's really not important. You were just drunk and wandering the halls and well you said some stuff and then you passed out. See, nothing big really." He said in a slightly panicked voice very wary of the wand pointed at his face.

Hermione raised her free hand and held three fingers up, in slow motion she folded one down saying "three...two..."

"Alright, alright just get that wand out of my face" Draco said in a panic as he knew Hermione would definetely live up to her threats. She didn't make empty promises, especially when it came to his ability to walk. "Well you did stumble around a lot and I was well I was helping you back to your dorm and youkissedme" he said the last few words at a rush in the hope that Granger would mishear them and leave him be.

She, however, managed to pick up on what he said and immediately her face went red in what he hoped was passion but what he was sure was anger.

"Look Malfoy I'm not in the mood for games. I never get drunk and I need to know what I did" Hermione grimaced at the pleading tone her voice now held. She didn't want to beg but she didn't want Malfoy holding something over her that she couldn't remember either.

Draco considered his options, Granger wasn't believing him and in his mind there was only one way to get the annoying wand out of his face. He had to make her remember.

In one swift motion he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. Hermione was in complete shock, her initial response though was soon one of defence and she would have pushed him away if he had not already foreseen this move and pinned her arms against her side in his strong Quidditch-toned arms.

He had somehow managed to invade her mouth with his tongue by nibbling on her lip and she was suddenly transported in her mind back to a similar occurence that had happened not too long ago.

She was leaning tipsily on him relying on his solid build to keep her steady. She turned her head to look at him at exactly the same time he looked at her, their eyes met and both of them sensed the sudden connection. Their lips were soon fused together in a fiery passionate kiss just like the one she was partaking in now...

Hermione soon snapped out of her trance and stepped backwards pushing Malfoy away at the same time. Her head was reeling from the sudden recoverence of her memory and the shock of Malfoy telling the truth.

Malfoy was watching the jumble of emotions crossing Hermione's face with amusement. It seemed that she remembered what they had gotten up to last night and she sneered as a look of pure horror crossed her face.

He flashed her one of his annoying trademark Malfoy smirks and stalked off towards the castle leaving a very confused Hermione behind to sort out her emotions.

Hermione was still reeling from the kiss and had unconsciously pressed her fingers to her lips savouring the feel of Malfoy's soft lips on hers. Wait hold it, where did that thought come from? Yes I kissed Malfoy last night but I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing. And he only kissed me just now to help me remember...nothing more.

She kept repeating this to herself as she ambled slowly back towards the castle before remembering that she had potions now and Snape was definetely not going to be happy with her.

She ran the rest of the way bursting into the dungeon and unintentionally banging the door open in the process. Everyone in the classroom turned and stared at her flustered face including one cool grey-eyed gaze which she avoided.

"Ah, Miss Granger nice of you to grace us with your very late presence. Why don't you take a seat" Snape said silkily, obviously enojying the chance to torment his best student.

Hermione started walking towards Harry and Ron who had saved her a seat but Snape said "Now now Miss Granger, we don't want you getting distracted by your friends. Why don't you take a seat next to Mr Zabini here"

Hermione froze, Blaise Zabini was a Slytherin, albeit not a particularly nasty or violent one, he never joined in insulting anyone. He was however still a Slytherin and he was sitting right behind Draco Malfoy. Malfoy-who-had-just-kissed-her Malfoy.

She shot Harry and Ron a please-help-me look and made her way slowly over to where Blaise was sitting. He shuffled up slightly to make room for her and gave her an apologetic look. Hermione stared at him, did he just give me an apologetic look? How weird, I've never known a Slytherin to be half way decent before.

The rest of the lesson progressed with much hassle the only strange occurence was when Blaise asked for the powdered mushrooms and when Hermione handed it to him their fingers brushed against each other and Hermione could have sworn she felt an electric shock jolt through her. She quickly drew her hand back and blushed avoiding Blaise's gaze.

The end of the lesson came relatively quickly and Hermione cleared up quickly so she could get out of there. The classroom seemed to be getting progressively hotter and more crowded and she was very flustered by how close Blaise always seemed to be to her. She kept sneaking glances at him out of the corner of her eyes and noticed that he wasn't actually bad looking.

She mentally slapped herself for thinking that and then risked another sneak peek but this time she met the dark eyes of Blaise who was looking back at her. They stayed in a sort of staring contest for a few seconds before Hermione broke it by saying "Well err I'll see you around"

She rushed off quickly before Blaise could say anything noticing on the way out that Malfoy was giving her a peculiar look and she could have sworn he threw a rather nasty glare in Blaise's direction before she rushed out of the dungeon in hot pursuit of Harry and Ron who had already left.

Well I thought I would introduce Blaise into the equation just to make it a tad more interesting. Enjoy and review pretty please!
