Hermione's P.O.V.
I slowly walked towards the main staircase, mainly because I was walking super slow for the two inch heels I put on my feet earlier. Like how do super models walk in them so gracefully!? I definitely won't be wearing these crazy things again, I can promise you that! Finally I reached the staircase, and Harry turned around and just stared at me like I had grown two heads or something. Anyways, I pushed Harry's weird reaction from my mind and hooked my arm with Viktors. Then we started walking towards the dancefloor. Putting my hand on his shoulder and him putting his on my waist, we then officially started the Yule Ball! After we started dancing, the teachers and other students weren't far behind. Finally after a few hours of constant dancing my feet were killing me. But luckily it didn't show over my excited demeanor the entire time. Viktor went to get us drinks so I decided to talk to Ron and Harry for the first time that night. " Would you two like to join me and Viktor in getting some drinks?", I asked. "No we would not like to join you and Viktor," Ron said mockingly. "And what's got your wand in a knot," I said. "You know your fraternizing with the enemy, right?" Ron said. "The enemy? Who wanted his autograph?!" I said angrily. "Well that's entirely off the point", said Ron. Me and Ron continued our argument out in the hall. Finally, I angrily shooed them both off to bed before I fell to the stairs crying my eyes out and pulling off those horrible heels. After about thirty minutes I said goodnight to Viktor and I went up to the common room. But before I said the password I decided I wasn't prepared (just in case Ron had decided to stay up in order to fuss at me more about what happened), so I decided to go to the Astronomy Tower. When I got there I saw a very familiar light blonde from the corner of my eye. Carefully I hid behind the wall, waiting patiently for him to leave. Unfortunately after what felt like a couple hours, he was still there. By that point I didn't give half a shit who was there. So I decided with the last bit of pride I could muster I finally came out behind the wall, revealing my messy hair, the stained mascara on my cheeks, and red puffy eyes. He didn't even turn around but somehow he knew I was there. "Is that you mudblood?" he asked almost judgingley. All I could do was go uhum with my throat while bobbing my head in a yes motion in response, cause I felt like I couldn't find words coming out over the lump in my throat. "And what are you doing up so late? Trying to get over that pitiful argument you had with Weaselbee earlier?" he said mockingly. "Yes, actually that's exactly why I'm here," I said, not wanting to start another argument. He then turned around saying,"My my, aren't you a mess mudblood? Is this what happens after every argument, or is it just ones with Weaselbee?" he said. "No, it's not every time. Just special occasions. But why are you even curious Malfoy? Shouldn't you be off tormenting some second years or something?" I asked hatefully. "No, actually I've mainly gave tormenting other students up," he said. Then I didn't know what came over me I just couldn't stand it any longer. I pulled him towards me and pulled him into a hug, while sobbing on his shoulder. He was startled at first but he didn't pull away, he just stood there not doing anything. "Listen Granger, you're stronger than this. You shouldn't feel bad about something just because Weaselbee blamed it all on you, when in reality he the one to blame for it all. He not worth your time or thoughts. Also can you please let go of me and stop crying on my shoulder, this suit was really expensive!" he said almost in a sort of whisper. "Sorry about that, I just didn't know what else to do," I apologized. "It's fine, just don't let it happen again. I've got a reputation to uphold, you know," he said half teasing, half being completely serious. "Well if you were upset about me hugging and crying on you, would you be upset if I did something else while I was at it?" I asked. "If depends on what it-" he started, but I cut him off by kissing him. He was completely shocked at first, but after a few seconds he started kissing back. He then deepened the kiss and put his tongue on my bottom lip waiting for access, which I quickly granted. His tongue dove into all of my mouth, exploring every inch of it. Then after I was about out of air I slowly pulled away, revealing my slightly swollen lips. "What was that for?"he asked, clearly befuddled. "I don't know, I just wanted to. I hope you didn't mind, you clearly seemed to enjoyed it. I mean you did kiss back after all!", I said almost teasingly. "Yeah I did. But don't ever tell anyone else I did, okay! Because people would obviously hate me for kissing a mudblood, even if she is the prettiest one I've ever seen," he said. "Really?! You think I'm pretty?" I asked. "Yes I do," he responded. "Thank you, you're very handsome yourself," I said. "Thanks Granger," he said. "Please, call me Hermione," I said. "Okay, and you can call me Draco if you want," he responded. "Sure", I said, kinda excited. He then started kissing me again pushing me against the wall I was close to. I kissed back harder than I had before. I then started running my fingers threw his light blonde hair as he started putting his tongue in my mouth again. After what felt like minutes, he finally pulled away revealing the purest smile I had ever seen. "I guess I better go to the Gryffindor common room now," I slowly said, clearly out of breath. "Yeah it is getting pretty late," he agreed. "Well goodnight Draco," I said, but not before kissing him on the cheek. "Yeah, goodnight Hermione," he said, slightly blushing. As I walked down the stairs getting closer to the common room, I then realized nothing at Hogwarts would ever be the same after that night!
