Chap. 10 "True Love?"

Madam Pomfrey cleared her throat. She looked over her half moon glasses at the two. " Would someone like to explain?" Madam Pomfrey lifted one eyebrow questionably.

" Well, um, um, he was trying to ---," Hermione stuttered. She was the color of a rose just about to bloom. She had been caught and she knew it. " Well it's apparent that you caught us kissing isn't it?"

" Yea. We're sorry." Even Draco was embarrassed. His usually pale skin was blotchy with red.

"Well I'm going to tell on you two. It's just something Hermione told me earlier."

"O and would that be that she ' loves Harry'?" Now Draco's blood was boiling. He hated himself for saying that. If he could he would beat himself until there was barely anything left. He hated for the fact that She thought she loved him. He had a great feeling that she really had the hearts for him.

" Yes, how do you know?" She peered over her glasses looking very confused.

"Well, the whole school knows," he replied shortly.

"They do?!?" Hermione fell back into the pillow. She hadn't known. Why didn't Harry tell me? I mean I'm the one he loves. Or so I thought. Why can't he trust me? What the hell? I'm so frustrated with that boy! What am I going to do with him?

"Yea. They do. Didn't your lover boy tell you? God it seems like that he doesn't even trust that great. What a lousy 'boyfriend'? I wouldn't do that. Not to my girlfriend." He looked at Hermione as he said the last line. She just stared back. They had completely forgot the Madam Pomfrey was there. Once again Madam Pomfrey cleared her throat.

"Well it seems to me that you have a dilemma Hermione."

"Yea, Can I talk to Madam Pomfrey alone?"

"Sure anything for you," he said smiling. He was so happy. He didn't know that he could ever feel that way before.

"Thanks."

"No problemo. I'll just be going back to do me homework anyways. I can't just get that stupid potions calculation though. O well, I'll ask someone else for help."

"Well you know she will be able to get out of here tomorrow," Madam Pomfrey interrupted as he was just leaning in for a kiss. He pulled back and said his thank yous and left.

Madam Pomfrey turned back to Hermione with her arms crossed across her chest. She walked to the seat next to her and sat down. "So what's up with you and Harry? I mean I thought you liked him and he liked you?"

"Yea well that changed after he found out that I was going to Winter Festival with Draco. I mean it's one measly dance that's only a few hours long. It's ridiculous."

"Yes it is. But if you love Harry shouldn't you go with him?"

"Yea but --- I don't know. I mean I find myself starting like Draco too. I mean I never thought there would be a day where this would happen. And it seems he likes me too."

"Well apparently it does."

........... In Slytherin Girl Dormitories.....

Aprille was sitting on her bed with her pencil in her mouth. She was thinking of the problem she was working on for Astronomy. She was interrupted when her best friend Paige called her name.

"Aprille! Guess what? Guess what?" She sounded so excited.

"What? What?" replied Aprille not so enthusiastic. She looked up over her glasses to see Paige beaming.

"I have a date to the Winter Festival!"

Aprille heard the words Winter Ball and date. "Who is it? Who is it?" she said more perky.

"You'll never guess, but it was Harry Potter! Isn't he so cute?"

"Maybe to you, but I think Draco Malfoy is hotter. God I have a feeling he's gonna ask me," she smiled as she said his name. She had that little sparkle in her eyes.

"Really, you like him? Wow I thought he seemed like a complete ass. But I guess that's only me."

"O my god no! He's such a sweetie. I can't believe he ever likes that stupid dumbass Kristina. She's such a bitch."

"Yea I agree with you. I can't stand her. She thinks all that just because she's going out with him."

"Yea but he's gonna dump her. He told me. Did you get the answer for this question?" She turned her piece of parchment around and pointed to it.

"Do you really think I would get that? Ha that's a joke Aprille, you're the smartest girl besides that mud blood Granger."

" You silly blonde. I don't know why I asked you. Well I'll" she yawed and stretched "just finish it in the morning."

"Yea I'm tired. Good night."

"Good night Paige."

....... The Next Morning ......

Draco was sitting next to Kristina at breakfast. Hermione knew he didn't have feelings for her. He was going to break up with her that morning. Harry was giving her the silent treatment. He just glared at her and ate quietly. Ron was confused.

"What the hell's up with you?"

"Why don't you ask Hermione," Harry mumbled sarcastically. He put his head in his arms on the table.

"Okay, Hermione what's up with Harry?"

"O he's just bumming because I'm going to the Winter Festival with Draco."

"WHAT?!? You said yes to that weasel? Why the hell would he even ask you? No offense."

"None taken. I know you guys think he's a total ass, but he's been really sweet to me."

"That's just odd. I'd never thought this day would come," said Ron smacking his head.

"O please. Don't be so immature."

"Hey look you're 'boyfriend' got something to say," piped in Harry.

They turned around to see him clearing his throat. " Excuse me, excuse me. I have an announcement to make. I am going to the Winter Festival with Hermione Granger."

Hermione turned bright red. Kristina gasped and turned to see her boyfriend looking down at her. "O yea we're done with," Draco added.

Kristina looked horrified. She ran out of the Great Hall into the corridor. Draco followed her.

A/N: OOOOO another cliffie. Well not really. But what was he doing following her? You'll just have to review to find out if you want another chapter. There's a button down there somewhere that says Go, click on it and review. Well peace out, KiRsTeN Ü
