"Granger! I didn't think you'd show up. I was beginning to think you still hated me."
Hermione looked at his features. She admitted that she had seen a different side to him lately. The side that she liked.
"You're one ambitious person, you know," whispered Hermione. "I just had to see you. Despite everything in our past."
Draco wrapped his arms around her. She leaned her head gentley on his chest.
"One day, we can tell people about this. I promise. It's time's like this I wish I hadn't followed my shitty father and been in Slytherin," he explained.
"Either way, we can't help it. I just couldn't believe that I could find such a great person in a former enemy. I just wish I had known before."
"Well things change." Draco replied. "You're not like any person I know. I'm just glad you're over Dean the idiot and that you came to me."
When he said this, Hermione turned away from him. She wasn't over her feelings for Dean. He understood her. Malfoy, even in the few hours she knew, had treated her like no-one else had. She wasn't one of the guys with him, or the last resort. He offered her what she wanted and she knew it was true.
"So, you're not over him are you." Draco asked.
"Look, he understands me. What it's like to be a muggle born witch and to be treated like dirt by people who have no faith in you. You hurt me and I studied to prove people like you wrong. Now, knowing how you really feel and that you really know me better then you realise, I'm confused." Hermione turned back again to face him.
"Well, being top of the year five times has proved you can do what you want. I have faith in you. You may not believe it but I do."
Hermione felt herself smile as he said this. She kissed him, passionately. It was good to know that someone cared.
"We better go back before bed time. But, I don't want to leave. We have to meet again. I have to see you." She squeezed his hand tightly. Draco nodded and kissed her, proving to Hermione that he wanted to see her too.
"Goodnight, Hermione. I'll see you tomorrow."

Hermione walked up to the common room. In a dreamy mood.
Dean was sitting by the fire. She didn't want to talk to him, or to anyone for that matter, but by the looks of things, he wanted to talk to her.
"Where have you been?" Dean asked her, putting a hand on her arm.
"I was...somewhere, don't worry about it," she replied.
"I was worried, about before-"
"Never mind that! I'm going to bed now. Go and talk to Seamus about, West ham football and...girls. Goodnight."
Hermione started to feel a tinge of guilt. She felt like she was betraying people since everyone in Gryffindor hated Malfoy. Then she went back to thinking of the astronomy tower. She wasn't going to ruin her good mood by feeling bad about having feelings for someone, like she had with Dean sometimes.
Smiling about the nights events and counting the hours to their next meet, Hermione skipped up to the girls dorm.

Thursday came. Hermione and Draco met in an empty classroom during lunch.
"I wish we didn't have to hide this. It kills me when I hear Ron accusing you of scheming up things." Hermione whispered.
"One day at a time, Hermione. When this does come out, they're going to have to accept it. I don't want you worrying about this." Draco stroked her hair.
"It kills me when Pansy says stuff to you. Like when she was touching your arm in Potions the stupid bitch. It was meant to be me. Sorry about that, it just made me..."
"Stop worrying. Just enjoy the time we have together. Oh, Hermione. So beautiful and so easy to talk to." Draco picked up her chin and kissed her. Hermione felt her heart melt.
"Ooo. Kissy Kissy" Peeves sniggered from behind them. "Wait until everyone finds out about this."
"Oh fuck," Hermione panicked and ran out the door, desperate for a place to hide and calm down.
"HERMIONE!" Draco called after her. She could hear him, but she didn't stop.
She ran into the library, panting. She was afraid of what would be blurted out. Peeves wasn't the type to keep things quiet. Worrying about the lectures she would get from fellow Gryffindors especially Ron and Harry.
"Hermione, whats wrong! You look so pale." Dean grabbed her arms to steady her.
"None of your business. You wouldn't understand." Hermione realised she was about to cry. When people found out about her and Draco, she may never see him again. If his father found out....
"When, you're upset, it is my business. I care about you." Dean ushered her over to a chair. Hermione was unaware of everything. She just wanted to be in Draco's arms again. But unlike everyone else, she couldn't have that.
"You didn't care about me so much when I loved you!" Hermione snapped a bit too loudly. "That's right! I'm just the cursed one."
Hermione stormed out of the library. Dean followed her. She turned around, frustrated, and saw him.
"Fuck off," she warned.
"Not before I give you this." With that, Dean kissed her.
