As she was walking back towards the common room she was pulled by a strong grip on her arm. Before she could yell, her mouth was covered abd arns wrapped around her from behind. She smelled that familiar smell and felt the brush of his lips on her neck as he soothed her into silence.
Hermione turned to meet Draco's eyes, telling herself to let him go, to push him away, but she found herself being drawn to him and for the second time since they had returned to Hogwarts their lips met in a passionate kiss. Hermione allowed herself to be lifted and carried into a private, unused broom closet. He lay her down at the back andknelt beside her. Kissing her softly. Suddenly there was a blinding red flash.
The two looked at each other and looking shocked Malfoy withdrew his arms.
"Sorry" he coughed and backed away.
"Umm it's ok look Malfoy, we were under some kind of spell...Lovordious Klingtalious, you were under its influence when we met up at the front door to Hogwarts, I tried to dismantle the charms but it appears they bounced from you to me making me think I'd fallen in love with you as well as you, me. Scary huh but it appears to be over, but I can't be too sure I've never come across this level of power placed into one spell."
"Hermione, I think I kknow why the spell bounced off onto you..."
"Why"
"Well you know how the castor is meant to take the person they want to cast the spell on, think of them at the exact moment the spell hits them?"
"Yeah...what happened Malfoy, why'd they make you think of me and who!?"
"Pansy"
"Pansy? Doesn't she love you? Why would she divert you to me?"
"Well...she didn't" He looked uncomfortable and embarrased , colour spreading quickly over his cheeks.
"...all I've been able to think about since we left this school, you're beautiful smile as you passed me at Graduation, the way your robes flowed and your hair bounced, the outside beauty that matched the beauty inside." he drew closer and stroked her cheek, she let him, remember the moment, how she had felt for him at the time, recalling the heart flutters and floating sensation that only the magic of true love could cause.
"So you were thinking of me at the time the spell hit?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen, I must have made an utter fool of myself"
"On the contrary..." she took his hand. "You helped me realise that these spells cannot make me love you..." his face fell "...for I already do."
He looked at her, unbeliebingly, searching for a hint of sarcasm or mock, but he only saw love.
"Oh Hermione"
He scooped her up and kissed her deeply this time in full control and she kissed him back.
