A/N: Okay, I feel as though I'm not trying with this story anymore. So I will try harder to make it more interesting. Though I've said that the past few chapters. But this time I really will.

Last time: Hermione goes out with Draco Le Feu, and runs into Malfoy! And… Le Feu gets jealous. Obviously.

Draco's POV:

I walked up to Blaise, who was listening to a muggle contraption he called an 'EYE POD", and pulled out the ear phones.

"Blaise!" I said loudly. He turned around and smiled.

"Hey!" he grinned.

"I wanted to talk to you about something. I know that you're still Potions partners with Hermione, and I wanted to know what she likes. Food, and stuff," I said.

"I don't know…" he hesitated.

"Come on, we're best friends! Please?" I asked with my gorgeous puppy dog expression.

He breathed in deeply, and breathed out as though in defeat. "Fine," he replied.

"I think she likes marshmallows, long walks on the beach, yoghurt, puppy dogs and kittens, summer, muggle technology, books, studying, peanut butter, films, and… OH! She absolutely LOVES the muggle band NEAVE. But those are just a few," he said. I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah, sure, just a few," I said, before walking out the door.

Back to Hermione's POV:

I breathed in deeply. And out. And in. And out. And in. I shook my hands around, and looked at the four girls standing in front of me.

"So what do I wear?" I asked them. Pansy handed me the clothes.

"This," Pansy replied. I looked at them in my arms. A blue camisole, a matching cardigan, and skinny leg jeans. Seemed reasonable enough.

"Okay, so what time do you have to meet him and where?" Lavender asked.

"I think at about 6. At the lake," I replied.

"Okay, only Slytherins are allowed there, so I'll be going as well, to keep and eye on you," Pansy said.

"Yeah, we'll be hiding behind bushes or something," Padma said, sounding upset.

"Hmph," Cho added.

"You see it always pays to be a Slytherin," Pansy said, smirking.

"For sure," Padma said sarcastically.

I laughed at them, and put the clothes on. I looked in the mirror. Okay. I looked fine.

"So do you know what to do?" Lavender asked.

"Yes. I play hard to get, and I count to 3." I said, confident and proud of myself.

"No." Lavender said. I looked at her. Oops.

"That's WHEN you were playing hard to get. You're going out with him. He's got you," she added.

"So… I count to… 4?" I asked uncertainly.

The girls gave me a shocked look.

"Oh my god I am SO not ready for this!" I cried as I started hyperventilating.

SMACK!

Pansy had slapped across my head.

"Settle down. You can do this. Besides, you have us." She said.

I nodded.

"Hmm… okay. Lavender, you be Malfoy. Cho, you be Hermione."

Lavender nodded. Cho made a face.

"I don't want to be Hermione. You be Hermione, Padma," Cho said.

"Ew, I'm not going to be Hermione, let Pansy be Hermione," Padma exclaimed.

"Can I be Hermione? I mean, me?" I asked.

"Fine, let Hermione be Hermione," Pansy sighed.

Lavender walked up to me seductively. I frowned.

"Hey baby, it's your lucky day, because I'm taking you out. Where do you wanna go?" she said, sounding nothing like Malfoy.

"Errm… where do you want to go?" I asked, trying to sound seductive. Didn't work.

"NO!" Pansy cut in. "YOU have to be in control! Here, let me try."

Pansy put her arm on my shoulder.

"Hey girl, what movie do you want to see tonight?" she asked.

"Umm… I don't know, what do you THINK I want to see? And DON'T be wrong," I asked. Damn, that didn't sound good.

The girls looked at each other. I knew I did badly again. This wasn't going to work out.

Pansy flashed the thumbs up sign.

"Okay, you guys, if we keep this up, we might just be able to keep this up until Malfoy's birthday!" Cho said.

"Awesome!" they all cried.

"Wait, what's so great about Malfoy's birthday?" I asked.

"What's so great about Malfoy's birthday?" Padma asked, in disbelief.

"Okay, Hermione, Malfoy's birthday is like a Witch Sister's concert, mixed with the Muggle Grammy awards, mixed with 7th year prom night. Get it?" Lavender asked.

"Okay…" I replied, not seeing what all the fuss was about.

"I've made a timeline. During the away Quidditch match at Agoura School of Wizardry, we see how he feels about Hermione, and at his party, we'll CRUSH him!" Cho said, laughing.

I squealed, looking at my watch. OH! It was time for me to go and meet Malfoy.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I walked around onto the grass by the lake. I looked around at all the Slytherins, drinking Fire Whiskeys and making out with their dates.

SPLASH! Crabbe had just pushed Goyle into the lake, before jumping in himself. I shook my head, laughing in my head at them.

"Hermione," I heard somebody say. I turned around. Yes, it was Malfoy.

"Hey," I said softly.

"You look… nice," he said. I smiled. We started walking, with many people in Slytherin I hardly knew saying hi to me.

"Hey Hermione," Theodore Nott said.

"Hermione," greeted Crabbe from the water.

"Mione!" called Daphne Greengrass. Hmm…Never heard anyone call me that nickname before.

"Looks like I'm going out with the most popular girl in the school," Malfoy joked.

I shrugged.

"So… I don't even know much about you, even though I've known you for… how many years?" Malfoy asked.

"Six or seven," I said. Malfoy nodded.

"So… what do you like?" he asked.

"Well… my story's still being written…" I started.

"A mystery then! I like that," he replied. Silence.

"You're right. All this talking is ruining the moment. So, I'm just going to enjoy the view," Malfoy said, staring away from the sunset.

"Um. Malfoy?"

He looked at me. "Yeah?"

"The sunset's that way," I said.

"Oh, yeah. I was just admiring everyone staring at me in insane jealousy, you know, coz I'm out with a girl like you," he replied, turning back around to look at the sunset.

"Fake ass," I said under my breath, though enjoying the compliment.

"So, what was it that got you to go out with me? Was it my incredibly good looks? Or… my really cute ass?" he asked me, smirking.

"Hmm… I'm pretty sure it was your modesty," I replied.

Pansy swore behind the bushes.

"He's in a zone tonight," she said to herself. "I hope she can handle him. I should be thanking Merlin there's no romantic fire."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

CRACK! SNAP!

I squealed as the fire crackled and waved around in the air. We were toasting marshmallows on the fire, and everybody was wrapped up in blankets next to their dates. I was underneath a blanket with Malfoy, and it was surprisingly warm.

"Mine's on fire!" I cried, waving the stick it was on around until it went out. I picked it off, licking the white, sticky substance off my fingers. (A/N: LOL!)

You know that feeling when you think someone's staring at you? That's what I was feeling. I looked around the campfire, and saw Blaise's eyes on me and Malfoy. He had come alone, and was sitting on a log by himself.

We stared at each other for awhile, and looked away from each other awkwardly. What the hell was Blaise doing staring at me for so long?

I felt something hot on my face. When I reached my hand up to touch it, I felt something sticky. I looked at my fingers. It was melted marshmallow.

"Ewww!" I squealed. I looked at Malfoy, who was looking quite guilty. I reached over to him and spread my melted marshmallow on his left cheek.

He looked shocked for a moment, and tried to smear some more on my face. Soon I was a frenzy of arms waving about trying to block Malfoy's arms, and when I glanced over at Blaise, he wasn't there. Hmm…

We settled down after awhile, our faces sticky and warm. Malfoy reached a finger over and let it glide down my right cheek. He pulled it off, melted marshmallow covering it. He put it in his mouth, and sucked all the sweet stuff off. He smiled at me, and I found myself smiling back.

"Walk with me back to the Head's Common Room?" he asked. I nodded, and got up.

"Errr… I have to pee," I said.

"Pee? Now? But there are no bathrooms here," he replied.

I groaned.

"Well, if you really need to, do it in the bushes," he said awkwardly.

"Never mind," I said, starting to walk.

"Hang on, I just have to make sure nobody's too hammered to get back to the common room," he said, asking me to wait where I was.

As soon as he was out of sight, I ran around to where Pansy was hiding behind the bushes.

"Omigosh, he wants to walk back with me! What if he wants to kiss me or something?" I cried, panicking.

"Don't worry, that means he's into you. Are you a good kisser?" Pansy asked.

"I don't know, how would I know?" I asked her.

"Do guys tell you you're a good kisser?" she asked. Shit.

"OMG! I'm a bad kisser!" I cried.

"Don't worry, just… um… DAMN IT! Am I going to have to show you?" she asked.

"Urrmmm…" I mumbled. She pulled me into the bushes and looked me in the eyes.

"Okay, so, you don't want to seem too eager, so you slowly bring your face closer to him, look him in the eyes and softly kiss him on the lips. THEN pull away. Don't keep kissing him. You have to leave him wanting more," she said softly.

Pansy then leaned in and softly started kissing me on the lips. Surprisingly it felt really normal, not lesbian-ish, and I found myself kissing her back. Things were just starting to get heated up when –

"Merlin, kiss her again, do it," a male's voice said.

I whipped around and yelled out 'LUMOS!' and saw Matt Cowling, a Slytherin 6th year looking at us making out.

"Hey! Piss off, you pervert!" Pansy yelled, and he ran away quickly, at the sight of Pansy's angry face.

"Granger!" I heard Malfoy yell out. I turned my lit up wand in his direction, and shrieked.

"SHIT! Hide, Pansy! He's coming!" I whispered loudly. Pansy scrambled underneath a bush, and I tried my best to look innocent.

Malfoy squinted.

"Granger, I mean- Hermione, do you mind putting the lights out?" he said, indicating to my wand.

Shit. Mental Blank. What was that spell again to put out the light in your wand?

"Here, let me do it," Malfoy said, taking the wand gently out of my hand and whispering 'Nox'.

Okay, so that was it. I should have known that.

"Come on, let's go," he said, taking my hand. We walked in silence, until we reached the entrance of our common room.

"Okay, so this actually seems like a proper date, I'm going to not go in with you. But… I don't really want to walk you in there anyway because then I'd be too tempted to throw you to the floor and do stuff to you, and I don't want to risk anything by going too fast," he said, smirking.

HA! What a player. Oh well. Better go in for the kiss anyway.

"I've always liked a little risk," I said softly before putting one of my hands on his neck and one on the back of his head, and bringing my face closer to his as I kissed him slowly. His lips were soft and sweet, and his face was warm when I touched him.

Suddenly, I felt heat around my feet, and it started to burn. I pulled away from Malfoy quickly, and looked down.

"AAAH!" My pants were on fire! SHIT!

"I don't want to risk anything by going too fast," I said at top speed, and raced up into my bedroom.

Other POV:

Draco Malfoy looked at Hermione Granger's bedroom door as he touched his lips with his fingers, and smiled.
