A/N: Thank you so much to my reviewers and readers etc. I must drop a quick shoutout to one of my readers; tricorvus. Thank you so much for giving my fiction a chance and leaving me some amazingly good reviews. Sorry I don't normally do that but felt it was necessary.

Anyways I've got to add that the reason things are progressing so quick with Draco and Hermione is because this is just the back story. I wanted it to be brief and quick to some extent so just valid points are being put in. Also they spent so much time together when he was a patient that Draco has grown used to having her full attention, which is why he wants to make a move and gets jealous when others are close to her. Anyways this is fast forwarded another 4 months so prepare for a drastic jump in their relationship.

Disclaimer: JKR is a genius and I do not own anything but the plot.

Trouble in the Sweet Shop

Chapter 8

4 months had passed since Hermione and Draco had first gone for that drink. Dating was everything Hermione had wanted it to be, he took her out and showered her with gifts. He was genuinely sweet to her and sometimes Hermione had to pinch herself to make sure it was had decided to keep it secret from everyone as it would cause too much trouble. Hermione was happy for once and she had not given a thought to Ron until receiving a letter, notifying her he would not be able to make Christmas and that he loved her. Her heart sank knowing that she didn't feel anything but friendship for him now, she was already falling for Draco.

December rolled by and Hermione had persuaded Draco to go to a muggle movie theatre and watch a film with her. It had taken a while but he had said he would try it once for her. He knew he had fallen for her as there was no other reason as to why he would try such a muggle thing.

They walked towards the cinema hand in hand and watched a film, a film based on Wizards, Hermione thought it would be funny for Draco to see how muggles perceived wizards as fiction. After many questions on how it was done and many long answers which Draco did not understand at all, the apparated to Malfoy Manor.

They regularly ended their night here, there was no way Hermione would take him back to the Weasley's and she had not got her own place yet so they spent most nights around Draco's, hanging out and getting passionate, until a point when Hermione would freak out for going too far and apparating home. She was a virgin and scared about taking that step with him.

They walked into his house and sat in the front room.

"How can they think that we act like that, they are so far from the truth!"

"It's just what we are brought up with, thinking that every wizard is old with a long beard."

"I just don't get it, how do the people get in the box though?" She smiled and pulled him forward.

"Just shut up" She kissed him passionately on the mouth and he returned the kiss with just as much fierceness. Pushing her back he began to kiss down her neck and feeling his hands roaming her body and rubbing the flesh of her stomach underneath her shirt, she sat up and pushed him off, knowing exactly where this was going. She wanted this, she wanted to be with him, but she needed to know how he felt about her.

"Draco, I want to...but I need to know how you feel because I think...I love you" This stunned him, he hadn't expected that at all, he smiled and kissed her head.

"I love you too" She smiled, knowing this was the right time, she stood and took his hand.

"Aren't you going to show me you room Mr Malfoy?"

That night was the first night they slept together.

She had stayed at Draco's that night and had to face returning back to the Weasley's. Ginny was due back from school for the holidays and she was bringing friends, it was going to be embarrassing for her to return. She spent the morning with Draco, but she knew she had to return and so she plucked up the courage and apparated outside of the house, if only she could sneak past and into her room.

She opened the door to find an empty kitchen, she sneaked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. If only she could get to her room, take a shower and clean up, she could say she had been called into work, it was an emergency. She managed to sneak to her room, gather her things and into the shower. After putting on fresh clothes she walked out of the bathroom and into a just arrived Ginny smiling at her.

"Hey Gin, you OK?"

"Yeah good, where have you been?" Ginny was smiling, she knew Hermione too well and was keeping a close eye on her to watch out for lies.

"Work, emergency, I just got back" Ginny nodded and Hermione began to walk down the stairs.

"Hermione?" She turned around to face Ginny. "When you want to tell me who he is, I'm here to hear all the details" She giggled and turned back into her room.

A/N: Very short I know but this story isn't about them getting together, it's about the progression in the relationship and how they got to where they are today. Sorry if you hate it.

Love Ya
