Okay.no.unfortunately I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters.

All right, you guys, I'm back and ready for a nice, clean.longer chapter.

I'm sorry about how the last chapter came out all scrounged up together like the paragraphs were all squashed together.It's this new computer because my other one got a virus and so they had to change the whole modem and clean it out and now my chapters come out like this. Unfortunately, this chapter will probably come out the same.sorry about that.

I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter all though I really didn't get too many. Well, for the ones I did get, here are your replies:

OnlyHAUNTED: er.I don't know what Kawaii means exactly, but thank you so much for the review! I can understand that you weren't in a writing mood. That happens to me sometimes too.

Eric(): About Snape.I don't know.I guess I just thought he wouldn't care for other people's business, but thanks for the review! I'm hoping to see more reviews from you in the later chapters!

Artemis Astralstar: I'm a little confused. All you wrote was " I have" but ok. Thanks for the review!

Brynja Shikha: Don't worry.I'm definitely going to have Harry and Draco do more in the story.I was just in a hurry with the last chapter because like I said, my sister was pushing me off the computer and afterward I was grounded for four days so I just wanted to post the chapter for you guys. Thanks A LOT for the review!

Slytherin Princess: Thanks for the cute comment! Lol. It made me laugh.don't ask me why it made me laugh.I just have a weird sense of humor. Lol. Okay. well thanks for the review!

DeathStryke: Thanks you so much! Really thought no one would like my chapter...but obviously, you proved me wrong...and I'm more than happy for that! I'm glad I gave a lot of information in the chapter and I'm glad that you thought I kept all the people in character and I'm REALLY glad that you liked my idea of Hermione's feelings! Thanks sooooo much for the review!

Rose Creighton: lol. No problem.the idea was really cool though. If I have enough time ( since I have to go back to school again) then I'm going to take your idea and make a sequel to this story in Harry's POV. I hope I get as many reviews there as I have here!

Okay.those were all the reviews I got.(. Only 7 of them. I feel so sad! The last chapter I had 50 reviews and now most of my readers have gone away! Waaaaaa! * cries in a dark corner of her room and then quickly gets up and walks to her p.c. where her mother gives her a stranger look and walks away. * I hope this chapter gets me a couple more reviews. Thank you to all the reviews and readers who I still have! You guys really make my day!

And on with the story:

Chapter 9: I Love you 'Morst'

"Draco! Oh my goodness! Draco, wake up!" I'd been thrown off of Harry's warm, cuddly body and onto the floor with much haste.

"Ugh! What was that for!?" I yelled back angrily.

"Draco!" Harry answered back, "It's 10:30! We're over 2 hours late for classes!"

I didn't have a mirror with me at the time but I'm sure I had gone white as chalk. "What!? Are you serious!?" I yelled back once I'd come back down to reality.

"Of course I'm serious! Get dressed! We are going to be in so much trouble!"

"Well, maybe you," I replied, "but not me. In case you didn't notice, by the time we get dressed and get to class it'll be time for both of us to go to potions and it's not like Professor Snape would dare punish me. You, however, I'm starting to feel very sorry for." I said with a playful grin.

Apparently, though, Harry hadn't found this bit of information as comical as I had. He glared daggers that I was sure were going to kill me before he turned away and started searching for a clean school robe to wear.

"Uh. Harry, can I burrow one of your uniforms and transfigure it into the Slytherin colors and my size? I don't really have anything."

He glared at me before nodding. I got the feeling he had taken what I had said seriously and so I walked over to him slowly with a hesitant look on my face. "You're not really mad about what I said, are you?"

He sighed and then smiled at me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips and shook his head. "Of course not, I'm just feeling a tad bit grumpy though so could you please hurry up and get dressed!?"

"Of course," I answered, giving him a quick peck on his forehead.

Harry chuckled and walked to the bathroom to wash up. When he got out I washed up and then we both headed to the Dungeons in different directions and agreed that he would go into the classroom first as to not cause any suspicion from the class, as we knew we would if we had entered the classroom at the same time.

I waited about a minute and then continued walking down the stairs and then into the class... Harry had an extremely irritated look on his face, and when I took a seat by my desk (Snape hadn't said anything to me as I knew he wouldn't) Pansy whispered to me in a giggle " Potter's got 15 points from Gryffindor and a week's worth of detention for all the other classes he missed."

I glared at her and felt a sudden pang of guilt in my stomach. It was mostly my fault that Harry had gotten to class late and he left with a week's worth of detention while I got nothing.

I made sure to avoid his eye during the rest of potions class and tried to think of a way to make it up to him.

· * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The week while he had detention we barely got to see each other, even in between classes he had had to be in the library preparing for a huge essay Snape had assigned him especially as an extra punishment.

I'd been sure he was so angry with me. Hell, I would have hexed myself to the 3rd- no- 4th dimension if I had been him.

However, the few times we did see each other, we would kiss and talk and he would put on a smile and a happy façade and kept reassuring me that he wasn't angry with me, that he was used to it because Snape just didn't like him, but it didn't really make me feel any better and I was sure that deep down, Harry probably was angry with me, even if it was only just a little bit.

I worried all week when finally, at the end of it, I heard about a Hogsmeade trip for the following weekend. It gave me an entire week to prepare.

I knew exactly what I was going to do.

I was going to ask Harry out on a date. and I'd be damned if it wasn't going to be perfectly romantic in every possible way.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~ Saturday ~*~

"Harry," I called out.

"Hmm?" was his only reply as he lay sleepily on my chest, the both of us waking up on my bed, in my Head Boy's room.

"You and I... we've been together, but we haven't really gone on an actual date ever before," I answered, a bit hesitant.

Harry had picked himself up, off my chest and was now resting his head on his hand, supported by his elbow, and facing me with curiosity.

"Well no. I suppose we haven't."

"Harry," I began, starting to feel butterflies prickling in my stomach. "You know that the Hogsmeade trip is this coming weekend, don't you?"

Harry nodded his head.

"Well, I know you usually go with Weasley and Granger but," I continued, "do you think that. well. Harry, would you go out, on a date with me?"

There. I had said it. I'd come right out and said it. Now, the only thing left to do was wait for his reply.

A huge grin had appeared on Harry's face as he wrapped his arms around me and threw the rest of himself on top of me, nearly yelling, "Of course I would!"

I grinned broadly at him and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Everything was going to be perfect.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry had gone off to finish up some of his homework and I had gone to do the unexpected.

I had gone off to find Weasley and Granger. I had to make sure that they wouldn't interrupt Harry or I on our date. Even if it meant making a subtle truce with them of my own free will.

Nothing was going to ruin my date with Harry.

I owed him that much for all the trouble he'd gotten into for being with melate the other morning.

I went to the first place that Granger always spent time at: the library.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hello, Granger." A frightened gasp escaped Granger's lips as she turned to look behind her, where I was leaning on a bookshelf, staring her down with my intimidating stare.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" she asked in a tired voice. I supposed she didn't feel like an argument at the moment.

Better for me.

"Well, I want to ask you a. favor."

Her left eyebrow rose high into her bushy bangs, quizzically. "A favor?" she repeated, in confusion.

"Yes, a favor." I repeated, starting to get a little annoyed.

"What sort of favor?" she asked.

At first, I'd felt quite annoyed that she was being so difficult about a simple favor, but suddenly. I liked her.

I found her quite amusing.

She had sort of. Slytherin quality in her. She was, in a way, interesting. Maybe Granger and I could get along after all.

I gave an amused smirk and took a seat to her left.

I decided that before I could ask her for a favor (even if it was for Harry) I was going to have to really apologize for my immature behavior over the past few years.

Yes, I had apologized before, but it was not of my own free will, and it was filled with much reluctance. This time, I was going to apologize as sincere as though I really meant it.

"Listen. Hermione." I tried her name. It didn't feel to bad saying it aloud.

She started to get a little suspicious of me, but said nothing and allowed me to continue.

"I," I'd taken a deep breath and then continued. "I know that I must have really hurt you in the past, and I am, well, to put it simply, I am sorry. I understand now that what I have done was wrong and all though I admit that I probably would never have apologized, had it not been for Harry, now that I understand, I truly am sorry.

" I know that you may not like me and will most likely not forgive me as easily as Harry has done, but if you don't want to do this favor for me, then do it for Harry. Please."

"All right... Draco." She let my name roll off her tongue slowly, almost in a sarcastic way. "I'm listening. Continue. What exactly is this so-called 'favor' you need of me?"

I gave her an honest grin and told her about what I planned for my date with Harry. When I'd finished, she'd been grinning from ear to ear of how romantic it sounded. "Oh, I wish Ron would do something like that for me." She pouted.

I let out a friendly chuckle and she smiled back at me.

"You really do love Harry, don't you?" she asked.

"Yes, I do."

She smiled at me and then asked, "Well, that all sounds very romantic, but what have I got to do with any of this?"

"Well, you see, I need you to keep yourself and Weasley busy for the trip so as not to interrupt Harry and me. Please don't come looking for us if you think it gets late or we don't get the ride back to Hogwarts. I have my own ways of getting back.

"You all ready know where we'll be so please try to keep the two of you away from there."

She nodded happily. "Of course. For Harry. and for you, Draco."

I smiled and did something I never thought I'd do. It was completely out of character for myself, but it had already been done before I could stop myself.

I'd given Hermione a hug and then smiled. "I'll be on my way then."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Phoenix Fire," I whispered.

The hole got larger and larger and then I quickly stepped in before it could get too small for me to fit into.

I smiled at the adorable sight before me.

Harry had fallen asleep in the middle of his Transfiguration homework, his head resting atop the book that lay open on page forty-two.

I smiled and saw that he was working on an essay. It appeared he was on his last sentence and so I neatly scribbled in his last few words, making sure that our penmanship's looked the same.

I took the parchment, ink, quill, and notes off the bed and put them on a desk, before gently lifting Harry's head off the book and placed the book onto the desk along with the other items.

I lied down on the bed and faced Harry with his eyes closed and just stared at him sleep. He looked so beautiful. I smiled to myself and gave him a kiss on the forehead before deciding to let myself drift to dreamland as well.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up to the stroking of my hair, on someone's lap. I didn't know where I was or whom I was with, but I did know that I didn't want to leave the warmth that I felt.

I didn't open my eyes, but instead, continued to enjoy the gentle, warm fingers stroking my hair, causing a prickling funny sensation that sent wonderful shivers up my spine.

I let out a soft moan of pleasure.

A chuckle escaped Harry's beautiful, soft, petal-pink lips. I slowly rolled over on his lap (no, not like a dog) and looked him in the eye.

He smiled at me.

"I love you."

I smiled and answered, "I love you more."

" I love you most," he answered back with a grin.

I put on an even bigger grin and answered, "I love you morst."

"Morst?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, morst," I answered back with a loving smile. "It's a combination of more and most which means there's nothing you can say to top that off."

He chuckled lightly and leant down and gave me a short kiss.

"Well, thank you."

"No, thank you, for giving me a chance to have your love." I answered back, honestly.

He smiled down at me with his eyes glazing over with happiness.

I picked myself up and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Suddenly, there was a light, reflecting on Harry's face and his eyes shown of the most beautiful shade I'd ever seen. I turned to see where the light was coming from and saw the beginnings of a beautiful sunrise.

I swear I heard Harry hold his breath as the beauty of the magnificent colors gleamed brightly across the room.

And I knew right at that moment, that the sun was rising for the two of us that evening.

It was shining for us, and only us.

A/N: Okay. Well, that's the end of the chapter. And I know that a certain reviewer wanted more "Intimate action" to happen,. Well, since the date is tomorrow, you can all expect a little "intimacy" in the next chapter. Harry and Draco will finally get even closer than they've ever been before. So.for the next chapter: A romantic date and "Intimacy"..a LOT of intimacy.

I hope you liked the chapter! Please oh please review! I hope I get a few more for this chapter than the last! (
