Ok, here you go!

The grip on Hermione's wrist was strong enough to keep her still, but after she stopped it became more gentle and relaxed. Relaxed enough to keep her from screaming. She turned around. (DUN DUN DUN)

" Hi Hermione, where ya coming from?"

"Hey Draco. Gosh, you scared me. I'm going to the library, we got homework in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"C'mon Hermione, I'm DYING HERE! Who's the new professor? Huh? Huh?"

" I just can't tell you that, Draco."

He scowled. ' Why is she so hard to get?! At least she called me Draco….' As if reading his mind, Hermione smiled. "Draco, Draco, Draco…." she said, " You look like your about to blow up. If you do, please back away from me. I don't want guts all over my robes." 'Oooooh, she said my name...she said it again! And again! Can I get this on tape? Listen to her R's, can you hear the O's?'

"Draco?", said Hermione, shaking his shoulder, "Are you okay? You are spacing out and you've got a goofy look on your face."

' She said it again!!!! Ooh she touched my shoulder… I look goofy? That's too bad. You look cute.' he thought.

" You know you are very cute when you are mysterious." he told her. "Please, can you tell me? Plllllleeeeeaaaasssssseeeee??"

"And you look like a hurt puppy when you beg!"

"Is that a compliment?"

"Uh….well, I like puppies."

"See, there you go, being mysterious again!"

Hermione giggled. 'He's not half bad! Wait, did I say goofy? AGH!' Then she got an idea. "Well, how's this for mysterious?" She started walking away, then abruptly turned toward him and delicately gave him a big hug. Draco stood dumbfounded.

When she was safely in the library, Hermione erupted in a fit of laughter. She was excited and scared to see Draco at lunch an hour later. He smiled at her sheepishly. AND THAT WAS SCARY. After lunch, Hermione went to go take a long bath. She needed time to reflect. The thoughts drifting through her mind always ended in 'stupid hormones!'

One hour and three iced teas later she emerged from the bathroom. She threw her hair up into a messy bun and ran to find Harry and Ron. She needed time off from her emotions. Her best friends were the last people who would talk about a Malfoy.

I was going to stop there but I am tearing myself to shreds for such short chapters! So I am forcing myself to WRITE. My fingers I demand that you to type! Brilliant ideas I demand that you to form! Brain I demand that you to think! Okay snapping out of that psycho mood and continuing this chapter.

After playing ten games of Wizard's Chess with Ron, ten rounds of Exploding Snap with Harry, Fred and George, and a glass and a half of butterbeer, Hermione headed off to the library again. She was completely out of reading books. (Hey, Its only her 5th year by 7th she will have read ALL of the books.)

She searched the shelves high and low for anything by Kayla Rymbes, but couldn't find a thing. Lost she asked Professor Binns for help. "I believe they are all over there," said he, pointing to a particularly quite corner of the library. "It seems you are not the only admirer of the works of Miss. Rymbes." Hermione smiled politely and thanked the Professor. She turned in the direction where Professor Binns pointed. There was a table with piles of stacked books, some of which she had already read and fallen in love with. Behind the piles someone had buried their nose in " Murder in Milas", one of the authors experimental novels.

"Mind if I borrow this?" she said timidly.

"No not at all." came a familiar voice.

"Draco?!"

" Yeah its me, is there something in particular you wanted to borrow?" he said with his still in the book.

"No, I'm just browsing. What part are you at?"

"You mean to tell me you've read it? And liked it?"

"Are you kidding me? I love Kayla Rymbes!"

"In that case," he said moving a stack of books from the chair next to him, " Will you help me figure this part out? I don't understand why –

"Oh I know what you're talking about!" said Hermione sinking down in to the armchair, "Keep reading, the novel explains itself in the next chapter."

Hermione sat quietly watching Draco absorb the pages of the book. Every few minutes she'd peek at the page number to see if he had gotten to the twist in the plot. Finally he did.

"Wow! That's amazing! Just genius! You wanna take a walk? Could you tell me what you thought of 'The Sight of the Centaurs?"

There! Tell me what you thought!
