Draco turned away he couldn't stand to watch as Hermione closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck.

Then, Draco suddenly turned around and…

…and then he said to Hermione "Don't we have our Head Duties to attend to Granger?" Hermione quickly pushed Ron off of her in a panic, she had never been late for her Head Duties before and she wasn't about to start now. "Why didn't you say something earlier Malfoy?!" she yelled at him as she ran upstairs to grab her wand, leaving both Draco and Ron in the common room alone.

"She's my girlfriend now Malfoy, you lost her a long time ago."

"On contrary, Weasel face, she will be back in my arms and with me before you know it." Draco smirked, and Ron laughed.

"Yes, she'll come running back to you. The day I fall in love with a blast-ended-skewert."

"Be careful what you say Weasley. It might just come true."

"What is that supposed to be a threat?"

"Perhaps." Hermione suddenly came flying down the stairs and grabbed Malfoy by the hand and dragged him out of the common room.

"See you later Ron!" Hermione called back with Malfoy behind her, blowing a kiss to him as they left the room leaving Ron to his own devices.

Draco and Hermione raced down the halls towards Professor McGonagall's Room. Finally, reaching the classroom door after running like two maniacs through the halls of Hogwarts. They busted through the doors and stumbled over a few desks as they made their way to the front of the room where Professor McGonagall was sitting grading some papers.

"What in Merlin's name is with all of this racket!" yelled McGonagall as she looked up at the two Head's running through her classroom creating a ruckus as they made their way up to the front panting.

"Professor…we… are… so… sorry… we're… late." Hermione huffed taking many breaths between each word.

"What? You two aren't late," Hermione suddenly looked very relieved. "In fact you two aren't working tonight, if you remember, it's Sunday you have tonight off." Hermione shot a look back at Draco who had suddenly taken up a great interest in the grain patterns in the wood on the floor.

"Oh well I'm very sorry Professor. I guess we forgot that it was Sunday." Hermione said through gritted teeth. "Good night then."

"Good night." Replied McGonagall who ushered them out of the classroom and they both began to head back towards their dorm in stiff silence.

After walking without saying a word for about ten minutes, Draco couldn't take it anymore. "Why in the name of Merlin's green speckled boxers are you going out with that DORK!" he practically screamed at her, startling Hermione momentarily due to the sudden outburst after all that silence. Hermione quickly gained back her composure and thought of an answer to give him.

"Why Malfoy? I thought it would be obvious, to you of all people seeing as you've lived with me for quite some time, I like people who are sweet, funny, considerate, companionate, and don't make fun of me for my blood." She gave him a pointed look, and Draco looked like he had been slapped in the face.

"WHAT! I've changed! After my father died, I realized that I need to think for myself and that everything had taught me was wrong!" Malfoy pleaded with her.

"Malfoy you are assuming that I like you."

"I… I…"

"Malfoy you shouldn't assume things that you don't know are facts."

"Well… do you like me?"

"I don't know Malfoy. I used too… I don't think I do anymore."

"Did you like me when I asked you if we were just friends?"

"Yes"

"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING ELSE!"

"CAUSE I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR!"

"How could you possibly think that? All I wanted to hear was the truth."

"Malfoy, you may be the 'Slytherin-Sex god' but you still have a lot to learn about girls."

"You don't like me anymore do you?" Draco asked his gaze fell down cast, Hermione's heart was screaming for her to run into his arms and kiss him senseless but her head, what she unfortunately listened to told her to stay off of him.

"Well… I'm with Ron now."

"So, you could still like me and be with him. Hermione… I mean Granger," Hermione's heart almost broke to hear him call her Granger with such sadness… she could only bear it when she said her name with anger or hatred, and now she was blinking back tears only so Malfoy wouldn't see them. She had to keep up her charade. No matter how much it hurt her to do so. She had started this plan and now. Now she had to finish it.

"Malfoy… I… I… I have to go."

"Back to Weasley right?"

"Look, my heart felt like it was breaking several times the past few months. Every time I saw you snogging some random girl senseless and every time you'd come back to the dorm your clothes all askew from what I'm sure was from shagging some other girl senseless, I wanted to cry my heart out. And I did. You never knew did you. That the mornings that I woke up tired and my eyes puffy and that you thought it was cause I was crying over Ron or Harry or some other stupid reason, you never possibly thought that it could have been all your doing did you. And now, I'm sick and tired of that feeling, so I've tried to get over you." Hermione hopped that she had said that she had tried not that she was actually over him.

"You've tried? Meaning that you've tried but you've been unsuccessful thus far? Meaning I still have a chance?" Hermione sighed and shook her head in frustration at herself. It seemed that her plan was working but not in the way she wanted to, she did kinda want this to last a bit longer than it already was.

"Oh and Her- Granger could you stop with the giggling whenever you're with… Weasley… it's really quite odd to hear you giggle like some girl.

"What I'm not a girl to you?"

"No. you're not a girl you never have been you've been much more than that." Draco ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "At least to me. Um, you probably ought to get back."

"Oh, right. Um… I guess I should." Hermione looked at Draco, all she wanted to do was run up and hug him but was scarred what would happen if she did. Hermione sighed and turned around and began to walk away. Then suddenly stopped, and looked behind her at Draco still standing where she left him. "Are you coming?" Draco looked up at her.

"What?"

"Are you coming back to the dorm, if you're not then I wont just stand here all night."

"Oh, um… yeah I guess." Draco moved over until he was standing next to her. "Milady." He offered her his arm and Hermione laughed as she took it, the mood lightening up dramatically. And they both began to make their way to the Head's dormitory.
