Hermione walked down the stairs, taking Ginny's advice and putting an old sweatshirt on. Draco looked up immediately as he heard her coming down, "hey…" he said quietly "hey…" she said back, "so is Ginny going to tell everybody?" he said worried, he looked so cute when he was worried she thought, "thankfully no", he smiled, "so…what…now…?" he said timidly, she stepped closer and pulled him up by his collar "we do this…" she breathed as she pulled him toward her lips and melted away in his arms.
Everyday for Hermione was brighter now, she was getting along with her friends, with the exception of awkward Ron, she was doing well with school as always, and everyday when she went back to her common room there was Draco waiting for her. But it wasn't all just hot make out sessions, he listened to her, he paid attention, and that felt just as good. One day as she was walking back to the common room, putting on some new cherry lip gloss Ginny had given her for both her, and Draco's enjoyment, she was pulled behind a large statue, she tried to scream but her mouth was covered by…another set of lips? She opened her eyes and was staring straight at Ron.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING RON?!" she yelled "shhh, you know you want this…" he whispered. "NO I DON'T!" she said trying to push him away, "oh c'mon Hermione, you have always liked me…" he said touching her hair, "RON! GET OFF ME RIG-", but before she could finish, a flash of red light hit the statue right behind Ron's head, "GET OFF HER WEASEL!" Hermione looked up and saw Draco, red in the face, his hair scrambled. "Yeah? I should huh? What's it to you? Got a little crush on her do you?" Ron said mockingly, "None of your business, it's just better if creeps keep their hands of my girlf-…my friend" Draco recovered quickly, "what were you going to say?" "Nothing, nothing, friend that's what I was going to say, FRIEND" Draco managed to force out, "whatever ferret, listen Hermione" he said looking towards her "im sorry about this, I figured that you wanted…im just sorry" he said as he walked slowly away.
Hermione and Draco walked back to the common room slowly, and in silence. When they got there, Hermione tried to say something but Draco was up in his room in a flash, his eyes oddly red. Hermione decided she needed to see what was wrong so she walked up the stairs and knocked on his door. "What?" "Draco? C-can I come in?" Hermione stuttered, "Yeah, sure, fine, whatever" he said very quietly. She opened the door and saw Draco sitting on the end of his bed, his face in his hands, and it was as if he was crying. She walked towards him "Draco?" she said putting her hand on his shoulder, no answer, "Draco? Are…are you okay?" she said worried, he raised his head; his eyes were bloodshot, and his face slightly damp, "okay? Can you really ask that?" "I…I…don't know…" "Hermione…no one…can EVER touch you like that…do you know how much it hurt me to see that?" "Draco, its not like I meant to…and…and I thought all we did was…was make-out anyway…" she said tears in her eyes, "I think I want more than that Hermione…when im without you…all I can think about is you and I feel…incomplete…but when im with you…its like…im right…it may just be making out but…I cant be without you". She looked into his face, this was the real Draco, and she couldn't help but hug him, "I want to be with you to Draco" he smiled and kissed her, they laid down and fell asleep in each others arms.
