Hermoine sat in the corner of Dumbledore's office, trying to fill out a survey about what she liked with out lying. She looked across the room where Draco sat, and wondered if he had the same small hope that they would be matched up. 'Of corse he isn't. I have got to get him out of my mind. I will find the perfect guy through this program, and I will be able to forget about him the same way he has forgotten about me.'

But across the room Draco was trying to convince himself of the same things, as he looked up to see her staring at him. 'She will find the perfect guy for her and she will totally forger about me, but I don't think that I am ever going to forget about her though. She is the first girl that has actually liked me and not my money, or my name, and if it wasn't for my father I could have her. I hate him because she is exactly the kind of girl that would make me fall so deeply in love with her without me having to worry about her hurting me and to give me a reason to live and not to turn to the dark side, but Father always has to spoil things doesn't he?'

"I'm finished professor." Hermoine said as she walked over to Dumbledore and handed him her answers.

"I'm finished too," Draco said as he too walked up to Dumbledore's desk.

"O.k. since dinner is probably already over you can go back to your common room and summon a house elf and have them deliver what you want. And as head boy and girl you both will be the first to receive your results and to go on your dates, so the other students can see how it is done. Ok?"

"Ok professor" Hermoine and Draco both said at the same time

As they walked out the door Professor McGonagall was walking in.

"I have figured out Miss Grangers and Mister Malfoys matches." Dumbledore said to McGonagall as she walked in and closed the door.

"But there the only two that have filled a for out…  You don't mean that they love each other?"

"Yes that is exactly what I mean. I felt some very strong emotions between them and I sense that Draco is pushing Miss Granger away because he is scared of what his Father would do to her, But once they once they have been revealed as each others matches I assume they will come to me to get help about what to do about Lucius, and I will most gladly do all that I can to help them"

"But Lucius will have plenty of way to get to him, and he can."

"I have a few ideas up my sleeve" Dumbledore interrupted her.

" Um what do you want to eat?" Draco asked Hermoine as the House elf stood the beaming up at them, Pleased to be of service to the most important students in the school

"I don't care really what ever they have left from supper will be fine. I don't want to be any trouble to them. They work to hard any ways."

"But misses, It wont be no trouble at all, we be happy to make something special for the head girl and boy. You works hard and yous need the nourishment."

"Yea, Just bring us what ever you had at dinner. I'm sure that will be fine," Draco said to the house elf who beamed and hurriedly left the room.

"So, um, are you um ex-ex-excited about the um matchmaker?" Draco stuttered.

'What the HELL is wrong with me? I NEVER stutter. What has this girl done to me? I HATE you father. My life could be perfect with her!'

"Yea. I guess. I need to get over some people who don't want me"

'Why is he stuttering? He never stutters'

"Who wouldn't want you?" he asked quickly until he realized that she was talking about him.

"Oh, sorry. I do want you and I have been thinking constantly trying to find some way to get around my father but there is no way, and I don't want to hurt you, and I know that if my father found out he would kill you, and I couldn't stand the fact that it was my fault."

Just then the house elf came in with their food, and they ate in silence, then said goodnight.

Once again both the sleeps were disturbed, so they woke up felling exhausted and two missed nights of sleep really showed on their faces.

When Hermoine saw his face she knew that he had gone through the same thing that she had the night before, and that he wasn't lying about trying to protect her, so that made it a little easier to understand him.

'At least we can be civil now instead of biting each others heads off when ever we talk. It will make it easier to get through this year.' she thought as she walked down to class, which was Care of Magical Creatures, with the slytherins. There fist class together since school had started.

"Hey everybody! Granger tried to straighten her hair. Didn't work very well did it?" Pansy yelled as Hermoine, Harry, and Ron walked towards Hagrid's cabin.

Draco walked up right behind him so he didn't have to wonder why all the slytherins were laughing. He hoped that they wouldn't expect him to harp on Hermoine because he didn't actually think that he could do it or stand to see the hurt look on her face if he did.

As soon as she saw him Pansy rushed forward to hug him

"Oh Draco. I haven't seen you in so long. Why didn't you come to dinner last night? I saved you a seat snookums. I missed you. You didn't even come down to the dungeons to see me last night. And I had a very cute out fit picked out just for my Draky Poo." She pouted.

Then her mood suddenly changed "did you see grangers hair? She actually thinks it looks better!"

"Pansy! Shut the HELL up. You saw her hair like two days ago, and it looks a lot better than yours does. And I thought I BROKE UP WITH YOU?"

Pansy looked up at him, then turned to walk away then wheeled back around and shouted 

"That Mud blood really got to you didn't she?"

"I told you once SHUT THE HELL UP. NOW before I out a silencoius spell on you, or worse." Draco shouted back

No of the onlookers new what they we talking about other than Hermoine, and it made her furious. 'How does Pansy know about Draco and me? She must have dared him to do it. I am so glad nothing else happened. He really is horrible. I guess when they say always trust your first instinct, there right!' she thought bitterly as Hagrid came out of his cabin.

"Ok every Body! Ya'll settle down Nuthin is that important that it should be ruptin or lesson. We have busy day head o us now so let get ta working." He said trying to call them down.

Hermoine was dazed through out all of her lesson that day. 'I have to confront him about it. He has to have another reason. Maybe Pansy just saw him kissing her and he had bribed her into not telling.' She thought as she walked back up to the common room after lessons. 'There has to be a reason!' she almost wailed out loud.

When she got to the common room, Draco was already sitting in front of the fire and as soon as she walked in he jumped up.

He had been waiting for her to get there so he could try to explain. He knew that she had tribally figured it out. She was smarter than all the other girls he had liked, and he had to tell her how he felt, and if she felt the same way.

"Hermoine. Let me explain. I know you probably figured it out because you're so smart." He said quickly.

She thought about interrupting him and telling him just to leave her alone for a little while, but when she saw the worried look on his face, she knew that he would explain everything she was going to ask him about.

"Yes, Pansy did make a bet with me to go in and kiss you, but when I did I realized that I really did like you, and I wanted to ask you to be my girl friend so bad on the train but I knew what my father would think, and I didn't want us to have to hide our relation ship, but if you feel the same way that I do…"

Hermoine placing her lips against his cut him off.

He quickly closed his eyes, then put his arms around Hermoine's waits as she slid her arms around his neck.

They finally pulled apart and just stared at each other.

"If nobody knows that we are together other than us, then how can your father find out?" she asked in a mischievous tone.

"I guess your right.    Hermoine?"

"Yea Draco?"

"Um, will you be my girl friend?"

"Yes I will my Slytherin Prince"

"Prince huh?" Draco said with a curious look

"If I'm a prince, then you must be an angel."

"I wouldn't go that far, but everyone has there own opinion." She said the smiled before he leaned in to kiss her again

They went up to her room and laid in her bed talking almost all night then she fell asleep in her arms.

Since the next day was Saturday they didn't have to get up early, and when she finally did wake up it took a second before the events of the night before came back to her.

'I can't believe how good this feels. I finally feel complete.'

She turned over to find Draco staring right back at her.

"What are you thinking?" he asked as she turned over

"I was thinking how good this feels, and how complete you make me feel."She said then blushed because she had actually told him what she was thinking.

"Well then, you're just going to have to get used to it because you're not getting rid of me any time soon."

"You actually think that even if you wanted to leave that I would let you?" she said playfully.

"Your stuck with me now!" she added

"I can get used to that." He said as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. "I'm going to go take a shower. Why don't you summon an elf and get us some breakfast brought up?" he said then walked out towards his own room

'I am so glad he didn't try to pressure me into having sex with him. He is the only guy now that I would even consider doing it with, but I'm just not ready, and he understands. He's not at all like everyone thinks he is.' she thought to her self before getting out of bed to get out of her school clothes from the day before that she had fallen asleep in and going to summon Dobby to bring them some food.
