Authors Note: OK. Here is the awaited 5th chapter! Sorry it took so long, I've been busy with homework, I have a cold, left my notebook with my 5th chapter in it at school and that just so happened to be the day I was sick! AND ff.net was down the other day so I couldn't really upload some changes and stuff.

THANK YOU TO EVEYRONE WHO REVIEWED! I LUV THEM! Dark: No this is my very FIRST fic! I'm thinking of writing a short one later one…maybe. Johanna: Thanks! Wow, it's nice having your story called the best one ever! Hehe. Ecricket: Thanks! I have never been called a good writer. Except maybe teachers…does that count?! Epequa: I luv twists too! Always get you on the edge of your seat eh? Moggit: Oops! I didn't know that happened! My spell check doesn't like the names Draco and Hermione so it always says they're wrong, so I ignore them anyway. Thanks for telling me tho! Night Spirit & Anonymous: Really? What story is it? I don't want to be "copying" someone else's story. Do you mean the WHOLE story? Or just parts of it? And you gotta remember that like D/Hr romance things sorta do resemble each other some way or another. Natalia: Yeah expect LOTS of chapters. I have a goal for about a chapter a day, I dunno if I'm gonna make it everynight, cuz of homework and all. But when x-mas break starts, I'll be writing like MAD.

Um…changed some parts of chapter 4 (thanks Prince Cortex my beta reader) to make it sound a bit better, not much of a biggy. I'm gonna try and move things along a bit faster so I can skip past parts that don't have anything. Have any more ideas? R&R! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Plot's mine, good stuff's JKR's. You know the rest…Oh and for the record, if this resembles anything it is pure coincidence or I will mention my sources! Thanks!

Chapter 5: Suspicions and Snogs

Hermione and Draco spent the night in the Hospital Wing. Together. Alone. And nothing happened…to the relief of Madam Pomfrey. She probably would have died at the sight of another snogging session between the two.

Prof. Dumbledore came in the morning with news about their classes. "Good morning," he beamed, "Nice to see you two all happy and well rested! About your classes, you will have none—

Hermione gasped and covered her mouth, "No classes!" she shrieked.

"I didn't finish Ms. Granger. You won't have any classes with your own houses. I won't force you two to be with the other's house all day. You will attend the classes, which both houses go to together, or ones you both share. So that's Care of Magical Creatures, Potions and Arithmancy?"

They nodded.

"Excellent. I'll have your work sent up by a house member or a teacher. And before I forget, all personal and private matters are to be done alone, behind a curtain, or with the other outside a closed door. You are allowed to go to your Head quarters (A/N. Get it? "Head quarters"? LOL) to retrieve books or for alone time." He had a twinkle in his eye at that sentence, "However, you are to sleep here in the Hospital Wing. Good day!" he smiled and left the wing.

"Good God! 2 months stuck with you. Don't worry, I'll die of fury soon." Draco said sarcastically.

"You think you're going to die!? 2 months of no classes! I'll die of lack of work!" shrieked Hermione.

Ignoring her, Malfoy suggested, "2 months of arguing isn't going to help either of us. Why don't we call a truce?" he stretched out a hand.

"Fine." She grasped his hand.

They both felt a shock of electricity. Draco grabbed her wrist and pulled her close so they were an inch apart. "What are you doing?" Hermione grinned.

"Dumbledore said personal things should we done behind curtains," he said as he used his free hand to grasp the curtains and pulled it around them, "so we'll do this in private."

"Oh Draco." Hermione sighed and buried her face in his shoulder in tight embrace.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. She looked into his grey-blue eyes and he leaned forward. Their lips met and they kissed gently at first. Then his tongue entered her mouth roughly and together, their tongues danced. She wrapped her fingers in his blonde hair and his into her smooth hair. Hermione felt light-headed and if it wasn't for Draco's arms around her, she would've collapsed. She broke apart from lack of air. He didn't know that however. "Didn't you like that?"

"Yeah…er...of course I just need air." But take me back she thought.

"Oh OK. We should get going. We have potions in 5 minutes."

"Yeah. Coming." She grabbed her bag and left with him.

She straightened her hair on the way to the dungeon. They came in just in time and everyone noticed their flushed faces. They took their seats and felt the stares on their backs.

After class, Harry and Ron caught up with Hermione, who was walking hand in hand with Draco. "Hey Herm. How's it going?" asked Harry.

"Just fine Harry. You?" she answered.

"Same." He bent low in a whisper; "You've been alone with him for the past day. Are you OK? Nothing's…happened?"

Hermione was shocked at this, "You don't think…we were…ew! How could you think that?! I may be under a love potion but I'm not going around sleeping with him!" she shrieked.

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Sleeping? With me? What are you on about Potter?"

Ron intervened, "You just don't do anything you'll regret Malfoy. Hurt Hermione and die!"

With that the two boys stormed off to their next class. "If you don't mind me asking, what was that about?" asked Draco.

"Nothing. Harry wanted to know if I was alright since I've been with you all day yesterday. Alone. He's just nasty. I'm starved. Let's go to the kitchens and get something to eat."

They walked to the kitchens, "As if I'd sleep with a Mudblood." Draco mumbled.

Unfortunately for him, Hermione heard that and turned on him.. Her eyes were blazing anger. She slapped him hard in the face and stormed to the kitchens. Draco had to run to keep up with her.

After some time in the kitchens, they went to the Hospital Wing to get the work Harry, Ron and Pansy brought for them. Then they went to their common room to work. This became a routine for them for the next few days. Come back, work, leave for Arithmancy, get ready for Care of Magical Creatures, nip to the kitchens, and do other things in the free time.

One day, Hermione and Draco went down to the grounds and sat under a tree. From up in Gryffindor tower, Harry and Ron were watching them. "If I didn't know it was the potion, I would think they actually like each other." Said Ron.

"I agree. Why hasn't she tried to resist the potion? Remember how they were shocked at first? Why isn't it happening again?" asked Harry.

"Dunno. Maybe it's hard to resist. We need to talk to her. But she's never alone. Damn potion. Why do they have to stay within 5 feet of each other? Dumb if you ask me."

"Uh huh. Let's send her a letter. Oh scratch that. Malfoy'll be reading it over her shoulder. Damn git."

They continued like this until heading for History of Magic.

In the Slytherin dungeons, Pansy and Blaise were peering through one of the ground level windows. "It's not fair! Damn Mudblood gets to sit there snogging my Draco!" huffed Pansy.

"It's not like he wants to though. It's all Granger's fault. She's supposed to be all smart. Why didn't she know the potion was wrong? Ooh. Maybe she does like Draco!" whispered Blaise.

"Better not. Or I'll kill the stupid Mudblood." Said Pansy through gritted teeth. If she does like him, I'll hafta make him not like her. She thought,

A/N. That's the end of Chapter 5! In the next chapter the Halloween ball! R&R! Constructive criticism please!!!!
