A/N: Sorry. I couldn't get on. I meant to have this up yesterday. I'll try and post again tomorrow.
That after noon Hermione couldn't stop thinking about what she had done earlier. At first all she could do was smirk. She had shown him what she really was capable of, but then as the day progressed, she started to regret it. What if he told everyone? What if he thought she liked him? And the worst of all, what if she did like him?
The thought terrified Hermione. It wasn't possible. She couldn't have feelings for him. No matter what, he would always be Malfoy in her eyes. And in his eyes she would probably always be the mudblood. Yet she couldn't deny that she enjoyed kissing him. And she couldn't say that she didn't love the reaction from him.
"Hey Mione." A friendly voice greeted.
"Hello Ron." She snapped out of her thoughts quickly and turned to face him.
"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" He asked curiously.
"Reading." She held up her book.
"Hermione, I never thought I would ever have to say this to you, but your book is upside down. Now, isn't it a little hard to read an upside down book?" Ron laughed.
"Oh, right." She giggled and turned her book upright.
"So what were you thinking about?" Ron questioned.
"Oh, it was nothing. It was just something I did earlier." She said like it was no big deal, but it really was.
"You were thinking about Draco weren't you?" He said with a wry face.
"Where on earth did you get that from?" She laughed.
"Because he was doing the same thing earlier. I noticed the similarity of your expressions and I just kinda put two and two together. So what did you do?" He asked.
"I didn't do anything. He started it." She stated snidely.
"I see. What happened? You two kiss or something?" He grinned knowingly.
"What? How do you know? Did he tell you?" Hermione gasped with disbelief.
"No. He didn't say anything. He refused to make any comment. You on the other hand love to argue with me. That and I've known you long enough to guess by that look on your face. So how did it happen? Did he kiss you first? I bet he did." Ron laughed.
"No. He was teasing me, and I told him to shut up. Then he said make me. And I told him that he didn't want me to shut him up, but he said that he did, and I knew it would shut him up. So I kissed him." Hermione rushed through it like it was all one sentence.
"You kissed him! Hermione, you kissed him! You like him don't you?" Ron asked in disbelief and amusement.
"Ron, you have to swear not to tell a soul. Promise me Ron. Promise me you won't say anything." Hermione pleaded desperately.
"I swear Hermione. I swear." He nodded.
"I can't help it. He's changed. His body is so muscular and tan. He is so gorgeous, and funny. He's not the guy I used to hate. He's not that person. He is so different now. I started to have feelings for him on the very first night. Then the day that he ended up on top of me they grew stronger, yet I denied all of it. But now that I've kissed him, I can't deny it. Ron, I think I'm in love with Draco." Hermione let it all out for the first time.
"Wow. That sounds so odd coming from your mouth. So what are you going to do?" He asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'll just say I did it to shut him up and to get a reaction from him. What else can I do?" She sighed.
"You could fling yourself at him and say 'oh Draco! I'm madly in love with you. I want to have your baby.'" He suggested teasingly.
"Not funny. Ron, I'm serious. I'm stuck and I need help." She groaned.
"Sorry. I'll be serious now. But honestly, I think you should say something to him. Tell him how you feel. Or at least give him a hint. He's smart. He'd figure it out." Ron patted her back sympathetically.
"Thanks for your help Ron. I think what I need right now is a bubble bath. Maybe then I can think properly. I'll see you later." She got up off her butt and went back to her room.

The next morning Hermione felt a whole lot better. She was going to take Ron's advice and give Draco a few hints. Maybe flirt a little. All she knew was that she had finally come to the conclusion that she loved him. She knew that it was all a bit sudden, but she couldn't deny her feelings for him any longer.
As she crossed the field to ask him a few more questions, she smiled to herself. This, was going to be fun.
"Good morning Draco. How are you?" She greeted as she set down her purse and pulled out a pad of paper and a quill.
"I'm, um, fine I guess. Look Hermione. I just wanted to apologize about yesterday. I really shouldn't have teased you." He apologized as he began to blush.
"Oh there's no need to be sorry. It was just a joke. I just had to put you in your place. Now, is there anything you want your fans to know?" she smiled and started to interview him.
About half an hour later they had finished, but neither of them made any move to get up. They both just sat there in silence.
"So. Is that all for today?" Draco asked.
"Yup. There will be more tomorrow, but no more at the moment." She replied.
"Cool. Hey, what's today?" He suddenly asked.
"It is Tuesday. If you mean the date, then it is February 10th." She answered.
"Wow. Already. Valentines Day is in four days. You got any plans Granger?" He smirked.
"Not really. I'll probably just stay home and have a romance movie marathon. Then probably go to Ron's party at ten. You?" She turned to him.
"I don't really have any plans until ten either. I was wondering. I mean, if you don't want to I completely understand, but since you can't enter the party without a date, I was just wondering if you would care to be my date. Seeinig as you aren't doing anything and you don't seem to have a date. But if you don't want to I completely understand." He babbled.
"Draco." She tried to answer him, but he interrupted her.
"You know what. You probably want to go. Forget I ever asked. But if you want to go I'm available." He stuttered.
Hermione tried to tell him that she would love to go with him, but he just wouldn't shut up. So, she did the same as the day before. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips to his. At first he was shocked and tensed up. Then after a second he started to relax and she kissed him softly at first, then she kissed him rougher. The best part was when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. The next thing she knew Draco had turned around and had pressed her against the wall.
Slowly and teasingly she pulled away. They were both breathing heavily. She looked into his eyes and saw something there, but it was unreadable. The only thing she could clearly make out was lust. Then she leaned forward towards his ear.
"Does that answer your question?" She whispered seductively as her lips lightly touched his ear, then she left him standing there, dazed and confused.
