A/N: I didn't get any reviews on my last chapter. I thought you guys would pull through. Guess it just wasn't good enough for y'all. (Starts crying frantically) Hope you like this chapter at least. . .

Draco met Katelynd Preta after his Potions class. Even though he wouldn't admit it to the other Slytherins, he was flirting with Hermione Granger in Potions. Draco accidentally bumped into Kate as he was walking into the History of Magic classroom. They sat down together and talked to each other, under Professor Binn's lesson. It turns out that Kate was a Ravenclaw 5th year. They found out that they both had a lot of common interests and after hanging out for what it seems like hours, Draco asked Katelynd to be his girlfriend. He knew it was sudden but they just instantly clicked.
Draco Malfoy was sitting in the Astronomy tower on a chilly Friday night. He was up there, studying the glowing stars. Ever since he was a kid, he had always loved watching the stars, wondering if he would ever go up to space. And, of course, Astronomy had been his favorite school subject ever since 3rd year. Draco started to write down his Astronomy homework when he heard the door open.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know anyone was up here. . ." Draco heard a voice say. He turned around and standing there was Hermione. Hermione walked closer to him.
"Oh, it's you," said Hermione. Draco nodded his head.
"What do you mean, it's me??" Draco asked confused. Hermione didn't answer. She just stared at him with her cold, chocolate brown eyes. "Are you mad at me or something?"
"No," Hermione said meekly. She bit her lip. "Maybe I should go." Draco shook his head.
"No, please don't. I need some company," said Draco. Hermione sat down next to Draco and smiled.
"Draco?" said Hermione.
"Yeah, Mione?" asked Draco.
"When did you meet Katelynd?" she asked.
"Yesterday after Potions. I will seek revenge on you for drenching me with that black Odor Potion. . ." Draco replied. Hermione giggled but stopped when Draco looked into her eyes. She immediately turned away and started staring at the stars.
"The stars are beautiful tonight. But yet again, they always are," Hermione said quietly. Draco nodded his head and smiled.
"You look really beautiful tonight. But yet again, you always do," Draco said, blushing slightly.
"Now, Dragon Breath, was that a pick-up line?" Hermione asked teasingly. Draco smiled and nodded. "Now, that is sick and wrong. You have a girlfriend. Draco simply shrugged. Draco slowly leaned in until he was an inch away from Hermione's face. He was about to kiss her when she turned away. He ended up kissing her hair.
"Uh, I have to go now," said Hermione, blushing furiously. She quickly ran out of the Astronomy tower. Draco sat still, shocked and confused.

"What's up with you, Hermione?" asked Harry. He looked concerned. It was a Saturday morning and they were all in the Great Hall, eating breakfast.
"Oh, me? Nothing, Harry," said Hermione.
"Do you remember what I asked you at the Burrow and you agreed to?" he asked. Hermione searched her mind and remembered.
"But, Harry, we have nothing in common," Hermione said.
"But you agreed. . ." said Harry.
"Well, I know that. . ." she replied. Harry looked at her with puppy- dog eyes. "Oh, well, fine Harry. You're so weird sometimes." Harry grinned excitedly.
"You better start now, Mione," said Harry. Hermione gulped and started to walk over to the Ravenclaw table, where Cho Chang was sitting with Padma Patil, Katelynd Preta, Phoebe Clearwater, and Andie Brickall.
"Hey Cho, Kate, Phoebe, Andie," said Hermione.
"Uh, aren't you Hermione Granger?" asked Katelynd. Hermione nodded her head and sat down.
"Hey Hermione. What brings you to the Ravenclaw table?" asked Cho.
"Oh, well, no offense to them, but the Gryffindor girls can get so [I]boring[/I]," Hermione replied. All of the girls laughed.
"Well, anyway, we're talking about boys we have crushes on," said Phoebe, giggling.
"Phoebe was just telling us who she liked," Padma said with a smirk. Phoebe turned bright red.
"Um, actually, I really think Ron Weasley's cute," said Phoebe, blushing furiously.
"Ron?! He's one of my best friends!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Yeah, we noticed," said Kate, "We thought you always liked him or Harry." Hermione started blushing.
"Well, personally, I like Seamus Finnigan. Er, his accent is really cute," said Andie.
"And, of course, Draco's my boyfriend, so I like him a lot," said Kate.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that," Hermione muttered under her breath.
"What was that, Hermione?" asked Cho.
"Oh, nothing," said Hermione. "So, who do you like Cho?" Hermione wanted to get it over with.
"Oh, no one in particular," Cho replied. Hermione nodded her head.
"I think that Roger Davies is a hottie!" said Padma. They all started laughing. They were pretty sure he could hear them perfectly, seeing that he was three seats away from Padma. "What? Well, he is."
"So, Hermione, do you like anyone?" asked Kate, a smile on her face.
"Not right now. All of the guys here are too weird," said Hermione. They all laughed at her comment. But then. Hermione thought about Draco. He wasn't too bad. But, of course, Hermione couldn't say this in front of Draco's girlfriend.
"Uh, girls, we have. . .Muggle Studies next," said Kate.
"Well, it was nice seeing you, Hermione," said Cho.
"Yeah," said Andie and Padma.
"Bye," said Phoebe and Kate. Hermione waved and walked back over to the Gryffindor table.
"Well?" asked Harry.
"Well, what?" said Hermione. She walked to Herbology, thinking about their conversation.
