~~~~~*****~~~~~The Admirer~~~~~*****~~~~~

"If you don't mind Draco but I'm waiting for someone so could you just go away for a little while?" Hermione asked politely.

"I know you are waiting for someone!" Dracoa said softly.

"How do you...know?" Hermione whispered.

"Because you are waiting for me!" Draco said to Hermione's face.

Hermione couldn't believe it! Harry and Ron's enemy! Hermione had liked him since third year but was to afraid to tell. She had never thought of him as the 'admirer' though.

She didn't know what to say.

"Is this a joke?" Hermione mumbled.

"No! I swear it isn't!" Draco looked so beautiful standing the dazzle of sunlight. He took a few steps toward Hermione so that they were less than a metre apart.

"But i thought you hated me?" Hermione asked.

"No, I just dislike Potter and Weasley," he took her hands.

"But I have never really hated you!" Draco whispered.

"Really?" Hermione looked into his beautiful eyes.

"Really! Want do i have to do to convince you?" Draco asked.

"Kiss me!" Hermione whispered with her head down.

Draco put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up so that he was starring into her brown loving eyes. He leant forward and kissed her. They both pulled back a little shocked but leant in again because it seemed right.

"I love you!" Draco whispered in her ear.

"I think I love you too!" Hermione replied.

"Potter can't know!" Draco told her.

"I know!" Hermione knew in her heart that Harry would absolutely hate to know that her and Draco were a couple.

Hermione never thought she would ever feel this happy and close with someone. At this moment of time everything was perfect to her and she didn't want it to stop. She only wished that Harry and Draco would be friends or atleast stop being cold towards each other.

Draco and Hermione lay underneath the Freedman Tree until the bell went for lunch.

"see you this afternoon?" Draco asked Hermione.

"Yeah! After lunch meet down at the draw bridge! Ok?"

"Yeah I'll be there!"

They went separate ways to lunch.

"Where have you been all day?" Ron asked as she sat down.

"You know, around," Hermione replied.

"No i don't know!" Ron said.

"Ron, is it really any of your business?" Hermione said losing her temper "Because last time I checked I was allowed to be alone sometimes!"

"What ever!" Ron turned back to his meal.

"Hey Harry!" Hermione greeted him as he sat down.

"Hello!" He smiled and waved over to the Ravenclaw table where Cho was sitting.

"Harry, why is Cho here for another year? Wasn't she supposed to have finished last year?" Ron asked.

"She wanted is doing a teachers course for a year, just attending classes and watching the teachers!" Harry replied happily.

"I am so glad that you two have someone special!"

"What do you mean?" Harry asked Ron.

"Well you have Cho and she has whoever it is she won't tell us about and i have no one!" Ron got up and walked out of the hall.

"Whats with him?" Harry asked.

"Dunno!" Hermione replied. Ron had been acting very weird lately Hermione had a feeling it was jealousy.
