The whole train ride home Hermione did most of the talking. Draco just sat listening. Hermione explained how Kyle had been her ex. They were going out when Hermione got her letter from Hogwarts. They were indeed young but in love. Hermione broke up with him knowing that things would be to complicated. She would have no way of contacting him while she was at school. She couldn't exactly owl him. Kyle was heartbroken. As was Hermione. Hermione tried her best to forget about Kyle. It worked. Being at Hogwarts helped her quickly forget about him, there was so much going on and now she had her two new best friends Harry and Ron. Although when Hermione returned home for the summer holiday Kyle would always try to stir things up again. It never worked. Hermione was over Kyle she had mended her heart and didn't feel like having to break it again. Although, summer going into her sixth year at Hogwarts there had been a big party at her friend Hannah's house. They both got a little drunk, Hermione more then Kyle. Hermione doesn't really remember what happened that night she just knows that if they weren't caught by Hannah's parents she doesn't exactly know how far she would have allowed Kyle to go. That was the last time she had heard from Kyle. She tried to forget him when she returned to Hogwarts and of course it worked but seeing him again after all this time, she was excited. She grew up with Kyle. Just like she did Cara, Amelia, and Rebecca. Hermione finished her story with a understanding yet envious Draco looking at her. Hermione was surprised by the words that escaped Draco's mouth next.

"Do you still love him?" Draco asked Hermione simply not taking his gaze away from Hermione. He was looking deeply in Hermione's eyes.

"No," Hermione said simply and honestly. Hermione didn't take her eyes away from Draco. The one she loved, cared for, lived for.

"That's all I needed to hear," Draco said with a smile on his face as he pulled Hermione into a hug. Hermione was glad that Draco believed her. If Kyle was in Draco's shoes he wouldn't have believed her. That's the one thing that always annoyed Hermione about Kyle, he had little if any trust in her.

The train came to a stop and Hermione and Draco got off and walked right past the Great Hall. Neither of them felt like eating so the both just dragged their trunks up to their dormitories.

They both walked into their common room and both sat down on the couch. Draco put his feet up on the coffee table and Hermione laid down on the coach with her head in Draco's lap. Draco slowly brushed Hermione's hair back out of her face. They had had a fun and yet eventful Christmas break. Draco liked Hermione's town and Hermione's friends.

"Draco, how do you feel about coming back to my house for Easter break?" Hermione asked Draco calmly as she looked up at Draco. Hermione then saw a big grin spread across Draco's face.

"I would like that Hermione, I would like that very much," Draco said just before he bent down and kissed Hermione on the head. Yet again the two feel asleep in each other's arms.
