Chapter five
Hermione slowly woke up. She suddenly remembered everything that happened the night before. How she went in the classroom and found Draco there. How Draco told her he loved her. No, how he THOUGHT he loved her. She remembered the long, passionate kiss they had. Draco had wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly at first. Hermione wanted to push him away and leave but she couldn't. She felt as if that kiss was what was lacking in her. It made her feel complete. It made her feel loved. Oh no! What would the teachers say if they find us in the empty classroom! She suddenly realized. She looked around and saw that she was in the prefects/head boy/girl common room. Phew! She sighed. Draco must've carried her back Thank goodness.
She got up and decided to go to her room. Luckily, it was a Saturday and that meant there were no classes. She saw Beth and the other prefect girls sleeping soundly. She took some clothes and took a quick shower in the bathroom. Then, she combed her hair and went to the Great Hall. She was feeling extremely hungry.
Suddenly, someone's hand wrapped around her waist.
"Hey, Hermione!" Ron grinned.
"Oh, hey there Ron. I didn't see you coming." Hermione said uncertainly.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked.
"N-nothing. I just didn't get enough sleep that's all." Hermione smiled weakly. She slowly took Ron's hand away from her waist. "Come on, let's get some breakfast."
Ron nodded and followed her.
"Where's Harry and Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"Harry's still sleeping and I don't know where Ginny is." Ron replied. "And you'll be happy to know, Harry and I played some Wizard's chess last night."
"That's wonderful!" Hermione smiled. "Forgive and forget…" Suddenly her eyes wandered around the Slytherin table. She saw Malfoy, sitting beside Pansy Parkinson who was fluttering her eyes at him. Forgive and forget, she thought. But it's so hard…Malfoy eventually caught her gaze. They kept eye contact until Pansy said, "What are you looking at Drakie dear?"
"Hermione? Is there something bothering you?" Ron asked after a long moment of silence. Hermione seemed nervous and quiet.
"What? No I don't like butter on my bread…" Hermione answered in a flat voice.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked, giving her a puzzled look.
"Didn't you just ask me if my bread needing buttering?" Hermione asked, returning Ron's look.
"Yeah. I did…" Ron nodded. He knew Hermione was hiding something, but why won't he tell her? They usually trusted each other with secrets. You're a tough cookie, Ron thought. But I can still crack you.

Ron kept a close watch on Hermione all day except when she had Arithmancy and Study of Ancient Ruins or when Ron had Divination. She didn't do anything strange all day. Sometimes, Ron often saw her gazing in Draco Malfoy's direction, but he figured it was because she wanted to see what was going on outside, since Malfoy's chair was near the tiny window.
During lunch, Hermione sat and happily ate her lunch with Ginny. Someone owled her, (she claimed it was from Professor Mcgongall) and continued eating. Nothing strange about that…
That night, Hermione was spending some time in the Gryffindor common room. Then she stood up and excused herself.
"I have to patrol the school and make sure that nobody's walking around the halls at night." She told him.
"Be careful." Ron said. "See you in the morning."
"G'bye." Hermione nodded. She caught a glimpse of Harry and Ginny sitting very close to each other on the couch. She giggled and went out the room. Then, she saw Alyson and Sam flirting with each other in the hallway.
"Ahem!" Hermione coughed. "I think you two should be getting back to work."
Alyson mumbled something that sounded a lot like, 'bitch' and walked away. Sam turned bright red and pretended nothing happened. Hermione smiled and continued on her way.
Finally, she reached her destination. She opened the door to the classroom and peered in. Malfoy was already there, waiting for her.
"Finally, you're here." Malfoy grinned as he stood up to greet her. They wrapped their arms around each other for a long time.
Then, Hermione let go. "Draco…"
"What's wrong?" Draco asked, feeling very concerned.
"I'm not sure about this. I mean, Ron's been spying on me for some reason. I think he suspects something." Hermione told him. She seemed worried. "I wanna be able to spend more time with you. I don't wanna do it in secret."
"So do I, Herm." Draco whispered as he kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I wish I could tell the whole world how much I care for you. But our reputations…you wouldn't want that ruined do you? And besides, Potty and Weasel – I mean – Harry and Ron – aren't exactly good friends with me."
Hermione nodded. She pulled Draco closer to her. "I wish people didn't have to be so cruel." Suddenly, she heard a slow song playing. "What the?" She looked up at Draco who was smiling.
"You're not the only one who knows lots about magic." Draco grinned.
I need a love that grows, I don't want it unless I know
With each passing hour someone, somehow
Will be there, ready to share
"Oh my gosh! This song…" Hermione smiled. Draco began to sway her around the room.
"I knew you'd like this song. I dedicate it to you." Draco answered. "I heard this once, when I was on a taxi with father. It's a sweet song."
I need a love that's strong I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart,
Play the part Of the fool again, before I begin
"It's kind of old for our 'generation', if you know what I mean." Hermione snorted.
Draco laughed. Hermione felt her knees go weak again.
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before Don't be wrong anymore
"Everything in this song is true." Draco told her. He kissed her on the forehead again.
Hermione blushed. "This song is too fast to get all sentimental in. Let's dance!"
Feeling that feeling again playing a game I can't win
Love's knocking on the door of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in Before I begin
She put her right hand on Draco's shoulder and took Draco's right hand away from her waist. Then, with her left hand, Hermione grabbed Draco's right hand and stretched it out, as if they were doing the tango.
Draco laughed. "What kind of dance is this?"
"I have no idea!" Hermione giggled.
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before, you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before
Then, Draco started spinning Hermione around. Hermione was laughing hysterically.
"Shh! Someone might hear you!" Draco reminded her.
"Oh yeah. I forgot." Hermione remembered. She took both of Draco's hands and they began spinning wildly around the room. Eventually they got tired and lay down on the floor.
Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning you've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore, foolish heart
Oh foolish, foolish heart you've been wrong before
Foolish, foolish heart, foolish heart
Hermione lay her head on Draco's shoulder while Draco held her hand. They were quiet for a few moments.
Finally, Draco said, "You wouldn't believe it, but I went out with Pansy last summer."
Hermione laughed. "Draco! I didn't think she would be your type. Oh well, I didn't think I'd be your type either…"
Draco grinned. "That's why I'm so happy that I met you. Like in the song, foolish heart, I wish that my heart's not wrong this time."
Hermione smiled at him. Then they both leaned forward for a long awaited kiss.
"How could I have lived without you, Hermione?" Draco asked.
"I don't know. How could I have ever lived without you?" Hermione said. They hugged each other and treasured the moment they spent together.
A/n: HAHAHAHA! Don't worry! This is a Ron/Hermione but that doesn't come until later so please be patient with me! Also, please review! I'll really appreciate it!
