Chapter 3 : A "Special" Meeting

Hermione was happy. She had the greatest friends. They had been great for 6 ½ years, and they still were great. Ginny had sat down with them and they were having a nice conversation about school, when a knock came from the door to their compartment. "Come on in, join the party!" Hermione yelled and giggled.

The door slid open and there stood Draco Malfoy. "I would but you have to come with me." "No, I don't Malfoy. I don't have to do anything." Hermione replied. "Dumbledore's orders. Head Boy and Girl meeting." Draco said and turned on his heel and strode off. "I'll see you in a bit! Bye" She hurried off to catch up to Draco at the front of the train but just as she was about to the front, she was pulled into a compartment.

"Ouch, what the hell?" Hermione said looking down at her wrist. Then looking up into the same pair of silver eyes and blonde hair she had just encountered minutes ago. "Oh, it's you. Okay, jokes over, lets go to the meeting ok Draco?" She muttered angrily. "Oh there's no meeting, I just needed to get you up here." He grinned. "Ok, what do you want?" Hermione whispered. Draco leaned over and closed the door. "Just to do this." He leaned in and kissed her on the lips. There were fireworks. Hermione was surprised at what a good kisser Draco was. She was shocked, but at the same time, enjoyed him kissing her, so she kissed him back. She finally came to her senses and pulled away. "Draco, we can't do this. It would never work. We cant. You know that." Hermione was sitting up now. "Why Hermione? Why can't we do this? We could make it work." Draco was mumbling and blushing. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why do you go right from hating me to us kissing?" Hermione whispered afraid that people may hear them. "I don't know. You're - different this year. I don't know why, but back at King's Cross, didn't you feel it?" Draco was incredibly close to her. Hermione nodded, looked into his eyes, and kissed him again. "Can we talk about this later? We're almost there." She asked, standing up to leave. "Yeah. And Hermione? I really like you, I hope we could maybe ." his voice trailed off. "Yeah me too." She whispered and she was gone. Draco smiled to himself.

"How was the meeting?" Harry asked. "Fine." "Just fine? You mean you're not going to go on and on about it like you usually do?" Ron replied with enthusiasm. Hermione hit him on the arm. "No Ron I'm not. I just don't feel like discussing it." She stammered.
