Chapter Seven


"Hermione, I thought you liked Draco." Ginny stated.
"I adore him," I insisted,"it's just I only like him when he is mean and not nice to me."
"Idiot." She said under her breath,
"Excuse me?"
"You are the one person that Draco will be nice to and you want him to call you names and be horrid to you. How crazy are you?"
"I don't want him acting like someone else around me."
"Whatever I am going to bed. Goodnight Granger."
"Don't make my take points from Gryffindor because you know I will."
Ginny just walked off with a wave of her hand. I know what she is getting at. Fighting has always turned me on. That is why I stopped fighting with Ron a couple years ago because at one point, I did like him but that didn't last long, Thank God.
When I got to my room there was yet again another owl on my bed. this time it was all black with white eyes. Apparently Draco had gotten back before I had.

Hermione,

want to make those random meetings in the bathroom an everynight thing. How about 10:30 every night? Show up if you want to don't if you rather not meet like that. Got any other meeting plans? I know some secret areas around this place where I could bring you. Reply if you will.

Draco

"Well then they wouldn't random if they were scheduled now would they." I chuckled aloud. "Come here you bloody bird."
I suppose that I should send his bird back to him but I have no reply. Maybe I can sleep on it since I can't sleep as well when I am drowsey. What if Draco starts to worry about his bird or thinks that it got intercepted or what not. I must reply so he doesn't worry. p'shaw, like he will.

Draco,
I'll be ther tomorrow but don't you think people will get suspicious when we take showers every night at 10:30? I think that your plan for secret spots at hogwarts will work. I have my own hide-a-way but it is for when I am mad at the world and when I need to catch up on myself so I will not tell you. We can figure things out tomorrow. We could always meet at eachother's head rooms and if people see we can say it was offical head student business.

Hermione

That should be good for now. I sent the cute little owl along with my note out the window towards Draco's room. Now I can sleep in peace.

Classes flew by with ease. Just review over the past years. Every class until our Magical Creatures class with Hagrid. On my way out to Hagrids hut about 5 minutes early Draco walks by me bumping into my shoulder.
"Ouch. Hey!" I bellowed not knowing who it was.
"Move out of the way Mud-Blood!" Draco yelled back to me.
It was about half way through the class when I noticed why he had bumped into me. I went to grab my wand out of my cloak pocket when there was a piece of parchment that I had not placed there. I began to read it,

To whom it may concern;
Meet me infront of the library at 9:30. I'll explain then.

Someone


Draco really is quite intellegent, no specifically stating who this letter is to or from. I looked up noticing Draco glaring at me and I whispered an, "ok".
"Hermione, what 'ave you got there?" ron asked blocking my vision of Draco.
"Oh nothing." I responded placing the letter into my cloak pocket safely. "Just a worthless piece of parchment."
"want to go to the library after lunch hermione?" harry asked.
"To do what?"
"Study. We always study after lunch on the first day. Remember?"
"Oh, yes well, I see no point in studying this year, do you?"
"It's tradition." Ron butted in.
"Well traditions are like rules, they're meant to be broken." I said as I walked towards the castle noticing that class was over. I realized that I forgot my book on the ground where I had dropped it after I noticed Draco's letter. When I ran back Hagrid was in the back taking care of some unicorns and Draco was standing infront of his hut holding my book.
"Forget something?" He smirked.
"Yes, if it weren't for your letter I wouldn't have to come back here." I answered.
"Oh, so you don't want to meet me at 9:30."
"Of course I do."
"Mind walking with me to the castle then?"
"Let's go."

The whole time Draco carried my book like a polite gentleman. We talked about various subjects, classes, quidditch, us, quidditch, etc, quidditch. You see the pattern too eh?
"See you tonight" I whispered so no one could overhear.Draco then did something unexpected, he bent down a little ways and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I felt his lips touch my skin, softly and smoothly. I then flushed with heat starting from the position of his lips. I quickly backed away abit stunned.
"G' bye" I said grabbing my book from his clutches and walking to the Great Hall.

"Hermione, we need to talk." said a familiar voice as I entered the doors.
