Chapter 1

I will love you more than that
I won't say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby, listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that

"Hermione, it wasn't what it looked like!" Harry argued. His height made him seem like the dominant one of the two, but really, it was the total opposite.

"Okay, Harry Potter. What was it then?! Hm?" Hermione was starting to get emotional, and fought against her tears. Before he had a chance to answer her, she ran out of the common room. With her hands covering her face, she couldn't see where she was going. Suddenly, she bumped into someone, and she uncovered her eyes to see who it was.

"S-sorry," Draco stuttered. "What happened?" This was what Hermione had been waiting for. She rushed into his arms and buried her head into his chest. Draco embraced her shaking body, and waited for her to answer.

"I'm still upset about Harry. I loved him, he loved me, why can't anything be like the way it was?"

Draco cleared his throat. He knew what he was about to say came from the heart, and it had to sound sincere. "Hermione, I can love you more than that..."

Hermione looked up at Draco, and smiled weakly. She felt her knees buckle, and clung onto him tighter. "Really?" Draco nodded, and pecked her on the lips softly. They met each others' eyes, and kissed again, this time with more passion. Even far after they kissed, Hermione could feel the sweet taste still lingering on her lips.


"Draco..." Hermione spoke into the silence. The only sound was the fire crackling softly. It's glow reflected in each other's eyes.

"Hm?" Draco replied.

"Draco, I-I just was wondering...well, I've never seen you like this before," Hermione let the words sink in, and continued, "You are a whole new person. I mean, you always used to call me names and all, and so I was wondering what brought this change in you."

"You. I've never loved someone as much as I love you. You are so innocent, so beautiful...I couldn't believe that someone would ever treat you in a way that Potter-I mean-Harry did." Draco explained, and reached for her hand to confirm his statement. Hermione cuddled next to him, and drifted off to sleep against Draco's steady chest.

A/N: Ok, I know this one is short so I don't want to hear reviews like "It's too short, blah blah" I KNOW already... Also, please do NOT tell me the characters are OOC! It's my story and I do what I want with the characters.

Well, I hoped you like this short little chapter, and the next will be longer I hope. Will Hermione get over Harry? Will Draco keep his promise about loving her more than Harry? Next chapter up soon! Please Read and review!
