A/n: just to let you know school is getting over in about two weeks and
apparently my teachers decided that means more work. So I'll be kinda be
busy so be patient if it takes me a little bit to update, but it shouldn't
be too long. Thanks so much to those who reviewed you make me feel loved!
To HeatherMalfoy: thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. And yes, I do like
long reviews. I'll read one of your stories and try to give u one.
Superwoman: I will!

A few minutes later she was able to control herself and after taking a deep breath stood up and went looking for the compartment Harry and Ron was in. She wasn't exactly looking forward to see Ron but maybe he would believe that he had forced her into the kiss. Not necessarily true, but the truth was hard for Hermione to admit, even to herself.
Finally she heard her two friends' voices from inside one compartment and slowly pulled open the door and stepped inside. Harry and Ron were sitting down and had obviously been talking but fell silent as she entered. Ron looked red in the face and the bruise on his cheek was swelling magnificently.
"Um. Hi," said Hermione tentatively, sitting next to Ron", Are you ok? Sorry, I had to stop you two though."
It was a surprise for her when he didn't look angry but looked at her with an expression of concern", Never mind me, what about you. Are you ok? I can't believe what Malfoy did to you! I swear the next time I see him in the halls I'll." said Ron, punching the palm of his hand.
"I'm fine, really Ron, don't worry about it. I don't want you to get in trouble! Imagine if you got expelled," said Hermione quietly fidgeting with her hands.
"I don't know what was with him, he's mad. What happened 'Mione?" asked Harry.
"Er. I dunno. I went to the prefects compartment to see who else had made it and he was there. So when I walked in he was there. and he just, just. kissed me," said Hermione
Harry and Ron looked disgusted but then as realization dawned on their faces their expressions changed slightly to one's of excitement
"You made prefect? Well done!" said Ron, now smiling.
"Yeah, congrats!" added Harry. Hermione let out a breath of relief, grateful for a change of topic.
The rest of the way they talked about their summers and inevitably quidditch. After awhile of listening to this talk Hermione got out "Intermediate Book of Spells: Grade Six" pretending to read but really imagining Malfoy's lips on hers and remembering how it had made time stop like nothing else mattered.
Could she possible have feelings for him?

The great hall was glowing from the candles against a dark and cloudy ceiling. Harry, Ron and Hermione took a seat together. Looking down at her golden plate Hermione's stomach rumbled, looking anxiously up at the top table she hoped they would get the sorting over with. Professor Lupin smiled at her and waved, he had been brought back as the Defense Against the Darks Arts teacher in fifth year despite the knowledge he was a werewolf. No one else would take the job after what happened to Moody.
After waving back she began to survey the rest of the students filing into the great hall looking for others wearing the prefect badge as she did. A flash of silver caught her eye but the badge belonged to silver-blonde Malfoy who was talking animatedly to Crabbe and Goyle, both looking confused.
Noticing her stare Malfoy looked at her and their eyes locked, a smirk that was more like a smile crept across his face. It was like fire and ice to Hermione that smile was annoyingly cocky but also annoyingly sexy. Her insides melted, her breath shortened and her pulse quickened and she knew now for sure what she had questioned on the train.
She, Hermione Granger, liked Draco Malfoy her once sworn enemy even though she would never admit it to anyone. Not even him. A Gryriffindor could never got out with a Slytherin, what would Ron and Harry think. Well, Ron had already shown her that. Anyways, Hermione had heard of Malfoy's reputation and that was plenty to make her extremely cautious.
Disrupting her thoughts the first years filed into the room, looking very nervous. Soon the sorting hat had done it's song and the four houses had gained there new students. After that food appeared and plates and everyone ate and chatted unconcernedly until Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome students, old and especially new, I must remind you again that the forbidden forest is out of bounds for all students. Second I would like to congratulate the two students who made head boy and girl and the four which made prefect." Smatter applause filled the room, Hermione beamed and Dumbledore continued", I hope you all will have a fantastic year and work hard. Goodnight and you may be dismissed."

About an hour later Hermione just lied down in her bed, exhausted after dealing with first years as part of her new duties. Professor McGonagall had taken her aside and told her of a meeting after school with the prefects and head students. Drifting off to sleep Hermione thought of how busy this year was gonna be and she thought of what was gonna happen, if anything, between her and Malfoy. If all this had happened in one day, she couldn't image what tomorrow would be like.
A/n: personally I don't like this chapter as much as the first two. But, anyways, let me know what you think. PLEASE REVIEW!! Gracias!
