Hermione's POV
I stood in the common room waiting impatiently for Ron, Ginny and Harry came to my side and stood either side of me, waiting for our traitorous friend. Eventually the common room door swung open and Ron stormed in. Without I word I dived at him and grabbed him by the front of his shirt sending his back to the wall. "How dare you d that Ronald Weasley!" I yelled glaring at him, he didn't seem to fight back he just stood glaring at me which I was grateful for because I wasn't that strong really. "How dare you break Draco and I up, why would you do that? You knew I was happy with him." I shrieked.
"Because if you broke up with him I'd be able to claim you as mine again." Ron growled.
"I am not a trophy Ron!" I yelled murderously glaring at him. "And if you thought I'd ever get back with you, you're messed up in the head. That was decided when you chose to cheat on me with that creature!" I snapped.
"I got bored of her and wanted you back." Ron replied as if it was nothing. My jaw dropped.
"Are you for real!? You think just because you've dumped her because you were bored I'd run straight back into your arms?"
"I haven't dumped her." Ron shrugged.
"Oh so you would have just cheated again?" I demanded.
"Well, yeah." Ron said with a shrug. That did it, I whipped out my wand at aimed it directly at his chest. I yelled a spell and a green light flashed out of my wand and Ron was yelling in pain as angry boils exploded all over his face. "Never again." I snapped letting go of him and storming away. I headed up to my room and began pacing around deep in thought. I bit my lip and sighed before deciding I would go for a bit of a wander.
I slipped out of my room and headed down the stairs before making my way to the common room door. "Where are you going Hermione?" I heard Harry call after me.
"Library." I lied quickly before climbing out of the common room door. I sighed heavily and headed down to the dungeons, feeling slightly awkward as I did. When I reached the familiar brick wall I muttered the password and watched the brick wall melt away, I took a deep breath and stepped inside when I was greeted by a very surprised Pansy, "How come you are here 'Mione?" She asked curiously.
"Is Draco here?" I asked slowly. Pansy nodded and pointed to a table in the far corner where Draco was sat with his head in his arms. I sighed and walked over to him before dropping into the seat opposite him. "Go away." He muttered, not looking up.
"No." I replied calmly and Draco looked up quickly.
"What is it Hermione?" He muttered. I bit my lip.
"I'm sorry." I said slowly.
"No, I'm sorry." Draco said gently, looking up at me. "I shouldn't have trusted Daphne and I shouldn't have broken your heart like that. I really am sorry."
"Don't worry about it." I said reaching over and placing my hand on Draco's in a comforting manner. "I'm just sorry I thought you would do something like that." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"Follow me Hermione." Draco said standing up. I watched him curiously before standing up also and following him as he made his way across the common room and out into the dungeons. I continued following him as he led me up to the main entrance and then out the great oak doors. We stepped out into the snow and I wrapped my cloak around me tightly as we made our way down to the large tree where we shared our first proper kiss together. He turned to me and I shivered violently. "I'm sorry I led you out here but it's the only place we can talk in private." He said slipping his scarf from around his neck and wrapping it around me so I was wearing my own and his. "Listen, we both made a mistake, me more than you so maybe you know we could try again now that everything is sorted?" He offered hopefully. I frowned a little, thinking it through before I nodded slowly. "Fine, but we do not go exclusive, just us know and we show no affection around others." I said firmly.
"Ashamed of me are you Granger?" He teased.
"No ferret." I replied with a laugh, "So we don't get a load of grief." I said with a small smile. Draco nodded and held his arms out to me and I stepped into them letting him okay me.
"I'm sorry Hermione, and I promise I wil never do that to you again. Ever." He said into my hair and I just snuggled closer to him. He kissed my hair before we just stood together cuddling for a while.
After a while we pulled apart and made our way back up to the castle as the sky steadily darkened and some more snow began to fall. "I'm still dancing with you at the ball." He said taking my hand. I chuckled and nodded.
"Fine." I promised and he grinned down at me.
"I'll walk you back to your common room. Can we meet up tomorrow after lessons?" He asked as we walked together. I thought for a moment before nodding.
"Meet me on the seventh floor after dinner tomorrow." I said.
"Why?" Draco asked curiosuly.
"We'll go to the room of requirement." I said. A small smile formed on Draco's lips.
"The room of requirement after dinner it is then." He said as we reached the portrait of the fat lady. I made to climb inside but Draco kept hold of my hand and dragged me to a suit of armour. We slipped behind it and he placed me against the wall before putting his hands either side of me. I looked up at him and felt my cheeks going hot as a blush appeared. Draco stroked my cheek and chuckled before leaning forward and kissing me. Our kiss was amazing, he pressed his lips against mine greedily and he nibbled my bottom lip causing me to moan a little before he slipped his tongue inside my mouth. We kissed for ages both fighting for dominance. I moaned again and we eventually pulled apart and he gave me the most heartbreaking grin I've ever seen. "I love you my little lioness." He purred.
"I love you too." I smiled and he grinned before stepping away from me. We retreated from our hiding place and he watched as I murmured the password and climbed in, the door swinging shut behind me.
