"So Hermione, where to?" He asked. This was the first time that he had called her by her first name. Hermione beamed, enjoying the way her name sounded coming from his lips.
"Well, how about we go to..." she paused and thought for a second, before remembering that she was to meet up with Harry and Ron back at the Prefect house.
"What time is it?" She asked; she didn't have her watch with her.
"Ummm," Draco said, glancing at his watch, "It's almost noon."
"Draco, I'm really sorry, but I already promised to meet Harry and Ron at this time," she said reading his expression. He scowled, but then looked back at her.
"Okay then," he grumbled. She smiled apologetically before going to the Prefect house. When she got there, Harry and Ron where already there, waiting for her.
"There you are Hermione!" Ron called.
"Come on then! Let's go!" Harry said.
"Where are we going?" She asked, trying to catch up with their long strides.
"To Hogsmead, where else?" Ron answered. The three headed to Hogsmead, laughing and joking all the way there. The first stop was to the Three Broomsticks for lunch. After that they walked around, visiting Penelope at her store, then heading to Zonko's. There, Harry and Ron saw a few products that made them drag Hermione inside.
"Look!" Ron exclaimed, "I can't belive they actually did it!"
"Who? Did what?" Hermione asked confused.
"Fred and George! They actually have a few of their products on the shelves!"
Sure enough, some of Ron's twin brothers' crazy inventions where on the shelf. Hermione laughed along with Harry and Ron, who each purchased a few of the wacky pranks. After going to a few more stores, they made their way back to Hogwarts castle. It was dark when they returned, and was time for dinner in the Great Hall. Harry and Ron showed off their new purchases as Hermione ate in silence. She looked up, and caught the eye of that blond-haired Slytherin. He grinned, and she returned the grin, then went back to eating. When she finished, she saw him get up and nod his to the door, telling her to go with him.
"Okay," she mouthed. She got up and told Harry and Ron that she was going upstairs. They nodded, barely noticing what she had told them. She rushed over to Draco, who was outside waiting. She followed him out the huge entrance doors, and sat next to him on the stairs. They sat there, gazing at the stars. She pointed to the brightest star up there and said, "That's the North Star. That's the star my parents and I use to wish on. When I'm here at Hogwarts, my parents wish on that star, and here, I wish on that same star. It's the one way that we stay together when I'm at school."
He smiled at her, and continued to watch the stars. The two witnessed a star streak across the dark blue sky.
"It's a shooting star," she said, "Close your eyes and wish on it."
Draco did as he was told, and Hermione followed. When he re-opened his eyes, she had rested her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her, and didn't say another word.
