Chapter 2
On their way down through the corridors Snape caught them and took 10 points from Gryffindor. They didn't care much though, at least Hermione didn't, she had too much on her mind. She never really ever had thought much of Draco, sense he was so repulsive. Could she actually learn to like or even love this son-of-a Death Eater? Could these rumors even be true? This had to be a joke, there was no way in hell that Draco could like Hermione. She had to go straight to the source. She didn't have time to question Pansy, that lying pug face would never tell her the truth. So after dinner she decided to confront Malfoy.
Later that night
"Draco, can I come in?" Hermione said stuttering. This startled Malfoy. "Sh- sure I guess." He said timidly, "there is something I have been wanting to talk to you about anyway. Come here, Hermione, come sit by me on the couch." She was really scared by this, the nicest thing he had ever said was "move you filthy mud blood." She decided to do what he said, for fear of the outcome if she didn't.
"What is it?" She asked, "what do you want?" Draco took a deep breath and said really fast without stopping "Hermioneiloveyouwillyougooutwithme?" "Oh my god Draco! How can you even say that to me?" Hermione said with rage. "Hermione, don't say no, at least not yet. Kiss me." Before she had time to even comprehend what he said, she was in the lip lock of her life. All that she could think is "Pansy sure is missing out on a great kisser!" It seemed like forever before they stopped, it was probably only a minute though. After it was over there was a long pause, she didn't know what to say. Draco was blushing horribly. Hermione didn't know what to do so she did the only thing she could, kissed him again. This kiss was cut short though. Filch walked into the room, caught them, and drug them both down to Snape's office.
"Draco! You were my best student." Snape said, in one of his most dull hatred voice. "I really can't believe that you would even think of her like that, let alone do something with her." "Bu-b-but professor" Draco cut in "SILENCE MALFOY! You should be happy I haven't sent a letter to your parents. I'm sure Lucius and Narcissa would be thrilled to hear there son is making out with a non-pure-blood! Now get out of here now! Oh, yes, points from both of your houses.
When they left Hermione was crying. Draco didn't know what to think. So he grabbed her hands and dragged her into an empty room. "Honey, don't let Snape get to you he doesn't know anything." "It's not him! It's you! I can't believe that you would just kiss me! How could you do that? "hey!" Draco cut in. "You kissed me back! And besides that I thought you liked me back!" "What would make you think that?" She said with a questioning look in her eyes. "I kissed you back because I didn't know what else to do. And because you're a good kisser. Listen, I have to go Harry and Ron are probably worried about me. I'm not really that mad, I'll try and send you a note tomorrow." "Okay, bye Hermie." Draco said sadly.
When Hermione got back to the common room she found that Harry and Ron were up waiting for her. "Hermione!" Ron exclaimed. "What happened? Are you okay?" "Ron pull yourself together!" Hermione screamed. "Listen nothing happened, I'm going to bed before we get caught for being out after curfew.
Hermione went upstairs to her room pulled out a parchment and wrote a note to Draco.
Dearest Draco,
You know how you asked me if I would go out with you?
Well, the answer is yes. I never in my wildest dreams
Thought I would ever go out with you. But tonight,
The way you looked at me, I know that it's meant to
be. I'm not sure if this is exactly true yet, but I think I
love you. Tonight, do you think you can meet me in the
tallest tower on the third floor? I really need to talk to you
About something. Oh and if I don't talk to you in the halls
Don't take it personally you know how it is. I can't wait till
I get to kiss your sweet lips again.
Yours truly,
Hermie
She folded the letter and got an owl, of course he wouldn't get the letter till breakfast though. Then she turned out the light and hopped into bed thinking about all that happened.
That morning at breakfast she could hardly eat a thing. Then, when the post arrived she couldn't stop looking at Draco. She could tell he was reading the letter. He was smiling bright. Then the worst thing that could happen did. Ashlynn Smith another Slytherin, twin sister of Adrienne who is best friend of Pansy went up to Draco and took the letter. She read it and screamed loudly "Everyone over here! Draco's got the hots for Hermione!" Draco stood up immediately. "I do not! I hate filthy mud bloods! Just to prove it, Ashlynn, will you go out with me?" Right then, Ashlynn collapsed. Everyone turned around and looked at Hermione. She didn't know what to do. Harry and Ron were stunned they looked at her, trying not to believe it. Hermione stood up and ran out of the Great Hall. Everyone had watched her leave, and no one said a word.
