I felt myself as being in that state where I know I'm awake but I don't open my eyes…before I let anyone know I was awake, I thought through a couple things. So, all I remember from when I fell asleep was….Ron…RON! OH SHIT! No it can't be, it's all just a dream! That didn't happen, he couldn't have taken it from me…I mean for him to do that I must have meant nothing to him…oh god, this is going to ruin my whole life…what if—what it I'm PREGNANT? Maybe that was his plan all along, if he got me pregnant, he ask me to marry him and I'd have to be with him forever! NO! for just this once I wish I had a knight in shining armour…
Just then I realized that I wasn't in a bed…I was on a couch. Wow not only was Ron a asshole but he left me out here on the couch! Wait wait, he's out here with me…oh god he made me fall asleep in his arms… what is he trying to be romantic? He such a dinkus…I then turned myself over so that I was even more in his arms…perfect, I'll have the perfect shot at his balls, one shot there and he'll start crying…I placed my hand on his chest and started making my way down to his stomach…whoa whoa whoa…what the hell was this? 1…2…3…4...5...6--uhh I don't remember this from anywhere, I mean he's been playing quidditch but this isn't possibly…this caused me to open my eyes so wide that the person who I was laying on almost started laughing…
"Surprised? You didn't actually think I was going to let him do that to you?"
I was so happy I buried my face in his chest and gave him the biggest hug I could manage…All of a sudden I heard him groan in pain…I looked up at him again but this time I realized that he was hurt, his arms, face, and neck were covered in bruises…
"Draco, are you alright? What happened? Was it Ron? Did you do this for me? Are you—"
"Calm down Hermione, I'm fine…" Interesting tactic Draco, instead of getting her sympathies you tell her your fine… you didn't think fighting Ron would be that hard… but it was worth it. Just look at her, I mean she's beautiful even though she just woke up from well that mess last night…I should just ask her out, I mean it's not like she'll say no…wait but what if she's not interested in you like that…kiss her first, that should convince her that you mean it, and if she doesn't let you—well then uhh try harder?
"I know you're lying…"
She gave me this funny look…like she wanted me to spill the details, of maybe even just admit to her that I was hurt…I wasn't going to do that, tell her I was weak…I can stick it out…now to change the subject…
"Did he hurt you?"
"My head—" Just then I reached back, but there was no cut no scar and no blood…he just smirked at me and said…
"I'm not that useless… You should go back to sleep its early…"
"Early? You meant its still the same night? How long was I asleep for? Where did—"
"You're doing it again…if you do it one more time I'm going to have to use more drastic measures…okay its still the same night when I healed you, you were just asleep instead of unconscious, you've only been asleep for a few hours so you really need to rest. I know we don't have classes tomorrow—well today but I still want you to sleep."
"I'm not tired and you can't make me sleep, I want to go somewhere, hmmm a nice walk would be good…I'll be back soon."
I got up and after only a few steps, Draco grabbed my arm and spun me around. He pulled me into a tight hug, as tight as he could manage. He was only slightly taller than me so his mouth was near my ear…
"I'm not letting you go…"
"I'm going…and your coming"
We looked each other in the eyes and walked out of the common room. He was looking around as if Ron was behind every corner…once we got out onto the grounds he loosened up a little. We walked down to the lake and watched the stars for a while…I felt him place his hand on my back and stepped closer…Without turning to look at me he asked me to dance…so I gave the standard line
"But there's no music…"
"We don't need any"
Draco's POVI was so nervous…with every other girl, they just cared about the way I looked and how big my uhh "muscles" were…with Hermione I had to be careful about everything I did. I knew if I didn't screw this up it would all be worth it…we started dancing to the beautiful sound of nothingness…after a while I could see the sun starting to rise and I knew she could to…we started to separate but I didn't want to let her go so we just stood there staring into the others eyes…not waiting for anything or anyone…not thinking of school or friends of family…or anything for that matter…
She opened her mouth to say something, but she hesitated. She knew it would ruin the moment, so instead of letting her speak I started to lean in with my eyes still open…She closed her eyes and waited for me. I watched her for a second absorbing all her beauty and pureness, then I finally closed my eyes and the gap between our lips slowly got smaller until it was gone…
I had kissed many girls before, but not like this… this was because I knew she was it…and I wanted this to last forever, not 15 minutes…I didn't want to make it any deeper, to seem like I wanted this to go really fast but she knew I meant it…
Hermione's POV
I opened my mouth to tell him how perfect this was, but I didn't want anything to change and I knew it would once I said something…I saw him lean in and I closed my eyes. It was never like this with Ron…Draco was so different. I knew he was watching me while I had my eyes closed, but I wasn't going to open them because that would send the message " uhh I'm waiting" I could feel his forehead on mine, then his nose brushed mine, then well, you know where this is going. I didn't want to move, it was so perfect, he wasn't scared but he wasn't confident that I was going to like it, that I was going to like him, it was more like he was looking for approval from the hardest judge on the board.
When we finally broke apart, we didn't have to say anything to know this was going to happen again. We walked back to our common room in a quite peaceful silence. Oh and did I mention he was holding my hand? Well he was and I know for a fact that he didn't do that with any other girl…just though I'd mention that. Once we got inside our common room, he walked my up to my door like a gentleman.
"Goodnight Hermione"
"Goodnight Draco"
I did what I did earlier this morning, I buried my head in his chest and just let him hold me…He took one hand and opened the door of my room, and placed his other gently on the other side of my face. I looked up at him and we were in the same position we were before. He gently kissed my cheek, and took a small step back, giving me the hint that I should go to sleep. I smiled and turned into my room. He waited there for me until I closed the door. I heard him walk over to his room and open then close his door.
I turned my back to my door, and did the most typical thing a girl could do. I ran full speed towards my bed, jumped onto it, grabbed a pillow and squeezed the hell out of it…all the while with a smile ear to ear…
