*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Halloween feast was as magnificent as any other. The decoration's still amazed the 7th years. Hermione happily finished her dinner and bid her friends good-bye as she made her way to the staircase with a 5th year girl who had long brown hair and a smashing smile.

"Poor 'Moine..having to walk around for 4 hours with that bastard Malfoy" Ron said, worried about his friend.

"Dont fret Ron, she's smart. She'll be fine" Harry assured him and they continued stuffing their mouths with as much food as possible.

Little by little, the prefects got there and finally Malfoy did. Hermione had dressed up a bit for the feast. Her hair was partly put up and smelling like sweet perfume. She put on some light orangish-yellow eyeshadow and a light pink lipstick, her eyelash's long and deep with mascara.

"Might as well get this overwith" she said, turning around and walking.

Malfoy followed her, still not believing what he saw. She wore a mini black skirt under her robes and as she sped infront of him, he saw flash's of her long legs. Admiring her from top to bottom he slowed down and eventurally had to run a distance to catch up.

*Whoa, Hermione looks really hot, I never thought she could have a sexy side to her. Shit what am I thinking?*

Hermione had changed alot since her first year at Hogwarts, Draco wasnt the only who noticed. Suddenly, the shy know-it-all became the center of attention and desire. Most guys from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were madly in love with Hermione, only people who found her new look unattractive we're Dean and to everyones surprise, Ron.Hermione's bushy brown hair was no longer curled and untaimable, but straight and slick. She gave herself a new haircut that framed her face. It was lightly layered with a touch of almond highlights.Having matured a bit since her younger times, she tried despritally to hid her new lady-like figure and found it hard. One way or another, she would catch the eye of some guy.

"No funny idea's Malfoy, I dont feel like jinxing you tonight" snapped Hermione noticing he was staring at her.

"Whatevvver you say Granger" replied Draco, still mezmorized by Herm. They turned a corner and stopped when they heard the breaking of glass. Herm and Draco looked at eachother and ran towards the noise, wands ready.

"God damn...I ran just to find nothing" cursed Draco, sticking his wand back into his robes and turning around. There shift was boring and meaningless. They didnt speak to eachother but often shot glances and only turned away when the other noticed. The Clock ran midnight and together they made their way to the Head Dorm.

.: A Few Hours Ago:.

Dean made his way up the stairs, one arm around Neville, another arm over Ginny.Clutching a bottle of Butterbeer in his hands. He swayed around, oviously drunk. Neville was trying despritally to get Dean up the stairs. He was afraid he'd get introuble, for Neville had far too many incidents with teachers that resulted in detention for him. They had made it up their 4th flight of stairs when Dean stumbled backwards, causing his bottle to crash to the ground. Ginny and Neville exchanged horrified looks and ran up to Gryffindor Tower, dragging Dean behind them.

.:End:.

On the ground lay a puddle of Butterbeer. Hermione was wearing black platforms and well, you do the math. High-heels + water = tumble and fall.

"Oh crraaaaapppppppppp" Hermione screamed as she slid backwards and down the stairs.

"Holy shit Granger!" yelled Draco.

Hermione crashed into Draco and sent them both down the stairs. Herm landed with an "Oof" and Draco landed with an "Argh" onto of her. Hermione opened her eyes and gasped. She held her breath as he edged closer. She thought he was going to kiss her so she tightened her lips, reluctent to let his tongue enter her mouth.*No..he cant use me, he wont..I wont let him!* Draco knew what he was doing, he had easily seduced many girls in his history. He leaned forward, breathing on her. He stopped before he touched her lips and turned his head to his left, giving her ear one flick and whispered, "You know you want me..I can smell your lust..."

"In your dreams Malfoy" Hermione spat.

"Then pinch me, I must be dreaming." Hermione gave Draco a hard kick against his leg." Oh shit, I didnt think you acturally would."

"You dont know enough about me Malfoy to determine that." she growled," Now get the hell off me!"

"Make me Granger." Draco breathed, grasping her wrist's and putting them over her head and pushing them against the cold, hard ground. Hermione struggled with all her might, kicking and fidigiting. But Draco was strong, and held a tight grip over her. The more she tried, she would fail and the larger his grin grew.

"And Ron started to giggle like a girl, it was oh my god!!" Lavender gasped at the sight of Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy on the ground.

"I'm sorry Hermione, I didnt mean to walk in on you. We'll go now..common Pav" Lavendar whispered at Parvati.

"Yes...you did interrupt something good. Now go on your way so we can continue with our...business" Draco grinned.

"Sorry Herm..and err Draco. Give us details later?"Lavender said, winking at a horrified Hermione.

Pavatli and Lavendar walked away, shooting glances and giggles at the two.

"Why the HELL did you do that for Malfoy?!", she hissed. "You know there is nothing between us. There isnt and there never WILL be. If you dont get off me this instant I will be forced to hex you into bits then your bits into bits. You stupid Son of a Bitch!". Hermione blushed, quite embarassed to be found by the two most gossipish girls in school in a very very suspicious position with Malfoy.

"Who are you trying to convince Granger. Me or youself?" Draco edged forward, closer. Breathing heavily down Hermiones neck. *Even his BREATH smells like heaven!* Hermione swooned in her mind, as she shapped back to relaity, she found him dangeriously close to her."Granger, you know you want me and I wont admit I dont want you. Hate me or love me, either way, your thinking about me. And eventurally you will see me the way I see you."

"And how do you see me Malfoy?" said sharply," A stinkin' mudblood?"

"No, blood doesnt matter to me. When I see you. I see a challenge. Thats exactly what I'm looking for. A challenge."

"So I'm just something your going to use to amuse yourself? You tasteless worm!!Get off me NOW!" Hermione hissed.

"The only way to free yourself is to pay a fee Granger." Draco smiled.

"What is it Malfoy, I want you OFF me!" she demanded.

"A kiss Granger. A kiss will get me off you and stop me from doing anything else." whispered Draco, his knee's rubbed against her hips roughly.

*No, I wont kiss him! NO i cant. But what if someone else comes, He's getting really close and my shirts riding up, oh what will people think of me! I have to, to avoide further complications*

With that said, Hermione started to place light kiss's along his neck. Dracos grip on Hermione quickly losened as she made her way to the crook of his neck. She kept going, until eventurally she reached his chin, her hands clutching his hair and her thumbs rubbing the back of his ears in circles. Suddenly she began so suck on his lowerlip, causing him to let out a long moan that sounded more like a grunt.Catching him off-guard, Hermione wrapped her legs agross his waist and with a sudden jerk, she had the upper hand. Draco was now on the floor, at her mercy. Hermione whipped her wand out and pointed it at his chest.

"There, now if you ever try that again..I wont be spare your life" glared Hermione, getting up and walkign away. "Night Malfoy"

"Back at you Granger" yelled Draco, sitting up, uterly shocked at what Hermione just did. His hand touched across his neck and eventurally his lip, now a bit swollen and colored pink. His fingers felt sticky and smelled like some tropical fruit. His hair felt warm, and his ear's going red with either embarassment or from the heat of Hermione's fingers.

*Wow, that was..wow. Grangers experienced? Wonder who...oh I'm going to like this task, I'm going to like it very very much.*

Hermione got in and sat on her couch. *What did I just do...did I just, KISS DRACO MALFOY? AND DID HE LIKE IT? Oh god this is getting out of hand, but he's so hot..I really cant help it... OH SHIT I gotta stop this!!!*

She looked at the empty room, Draco's words playing through her mind. Suddenly, she felt very lonely. Deciding to check up on her friends back in the Gryffindor Tower, she got up and rushed over.

Climbing in, she saw her best friends sitting together playing cards and just as happy to see her as she was to see them.

"Moine!" yelled Harry jumping up.

"Hey! Do you three want to see my new room?" she asked, smiling.

"Sure!" said Ron, a gleme in his eyes.

Together the four of them made their way to the Head dorm and all gasped as they came in. Hermiones bed was almost twice as big as her old one and it had its own cozy fireplace." I even have a dinner table " she said laughing.

"How about some tea?" she asked, reaching into her cupboard.

"Sure Mione!" said Harry with a kind smile.

"Can I look at your bathroom" Ron said curiously.

"Sure, go ahead"

"Herm its locked"

"Oh..then Draco's probably in there then"

"You two share a bath?!" said Harry surprised.

"Yah, only downer." Herm forced a smile.

"If he pulls anything funny Mione just tell us, we'll deal with the slug" Ron said trying to pull his chest forward to look buff, but only made Ginny spit her tea and crack up.

"Who are you calling a slug Weasly?" came a cold voice that made everyone jump.

"Three guess's who" Harry said cooly, getting up and feeling for his wand.

Ginny looked at Draco and her jaw dropped cuasing some of her tea to spill on herself. Hermione kept to herself and tried not to stare at him. Draco oviously just finished a shower because he was in only a towel again leaning in the door frame drying his hair. Ginny was admiring Draco's new body. Hogwarts uniforms made it hard to tell what the opposite sex looked like, and for that, Hermione was glad.

"This isnt fair, two armed wizards against one who'se not even in clothes none the less with a wand" Draco said smoothly, like ice rolling off his tongue."If you want a proper duel I'll be more than happy to teach you a few pointers." he said, grinning.

"Shut it Malfoy, who invited you anyhow?" snapped Ron, putting his new wand away. He remebered what had happened in his 2nd year when he tried to jinx Malfoy and Ron didnt want to have to throw up huge slugs again.

"No one did, I just came to see what all this noise was."

"Would you like some tea Draco.." Hermione asked, making Harry and Ron turn around and stare at their friend.

"I made too much. It's lemon tea. If you want some go ahead and pour yourself a cup" said Hermione placing 5 gold goblets on her table and took one herself.

"err..Thanks for the offer Granger...but I must decline. I'm drained from todays activities, I think I'll just sleep now." raising an eyebrow Draco stared at Hermione.

Herm didnt look at him but continued to sip her tea and stare blankly at her feet.

The room became silent and Ginny noticed somehting happening between Hermione and Draco, Ginny stared at Draco's well-toned upperbody and Draco soon noticed her. Wiggling his eyebrows, he walked into his room and closed the door.

"What was that all about?" asked Harry, confused and slightly greatful he didnt have to drink tea with Draco.

"I dont know..." Hermioen said quietly, placing her goblet on her desk then tipping over onto her bed. Ginny began to squeal insanly.



"HEM! YOU LUCKY LITTLE WITCH!!" she yelled laughing and throwing a pillow at her.

"What the heck are you talking about Gin??" Hermione asked, puzzled. Ginny put on a cold, Malfoy like face and wiggled her eyebrows, making Hermione spit her tea and giggle insanly with her.

"OOH! haha Well I dont know..... " she trailed off.

"What in the world are you two talking about?" questioned Ron.

"I told you..'Girl Talk', curse of the Gods" Harry said, shaking his head.

The four of them engaged in deep converstaion about everything from Lord Voldy to Quidditch.

"That reminds me!" Hermione said loudly, shocking Ron and Harry.She ran to her drawer and pulled out five brown packages. "Happy Birthday Ron, I'm a bit late but..."

"No worry's Mione. Thanks" flashing Hermione a smile. She looked around and gave Ron hug.Ron blanked out for a bit before hugging her back.

Herm turned to Harry and his sparkling eyes twinkled at her." Here you go Harry" she placed a rather light and thin box in his lap. Hesitating she bent over and gave Harry a kiss on the cheek, making Harry go bright red."Thanks Hem" Harry replied, getting up and grabbing Hermione in a large and very firm hug. Time seemed to stop for Hermione, it was all too good until Ron cleared his throat.

"Oh..sorry Hem." Harry said going pink. He let go and sat down getting odd glances from Ron.

"It..its.nothing Harry...dont worry worry about it" Hermione blushed and handed Ginny one of the last packages. "Here Ginny, i thought you might like some muggle makeup. It's easier to apply that Magical Makeup. "

"Thank you Hem!" getting up and giving her a hug. Hermione made her way back to her drawer and placed the last two packages back inside.

"We should get going...see you tomorrow Moine!" said Ron, getting up with Ginny.

"Bye Hem! Harry arnt you comming?"

"Umm...go on I want to ask Hermione something."

"Alright, lets go Gin" Ron and Ginny left leaving Harry with a very shocked Hermione.

"What did you want to talk about Harry?" she questioned, feeling very awkward.

"I..I.." without another word said he threw his arms around Hermione and closed his eyes. Hermione was speachless. It felt good in Harry's arms. She didnt know what to do but place her arms around his. For awhile the room was silent, all Hermione heard was the deep breathing of Harry. He was much taller than her but they fitted eachother perfectly. Hermione knew why Harry had stayed. She and Harry had secretly been going out for a while. Since the end of their 5th year. He hugged her and lowered his head, wanting to kiss Hermione but he knew better. They had made an agreement that if this didnt work out, that she valued their friendship over their love. But he wanted Herm too much then and blindly promised her. Things had gone on well for two years, Ron still had no clue.

"You smell different.." he whispered

"What do you mean Harry?" Hermione asked, a bit embarassed.

"You smell like a guy, sorta..mintish musky smell.."

"Oh...I don't know, maybe its you?" she said, lifting her robes up and sniffing them. *Hey, Harry's right..it does smell different kinda..oh my god I smell like Draco*

"Well, that doesn't really matter. I just want to tell you that I'm ready..." he whispered

"Ready for what??" Herm asked, slightly scared he was getting bad thoughts.

"Ready to tell the world that I love Hermione Granger with all my heart"

Hermione felt tears of happyness roll down her face. Harry loved her and she loved Harry. Everything felt right. He tightned his hold around Herm and bend his head down. Hermione knew he wanted to kiss her. He edged forward, closer....closer...closer until finally they could taste eachothers breath. Suddenly Hermione turned her head to the side. Harry took notice of this and straighted himself. Deciding to kiss her softly on her forehead he let go and began taking the long walk to Gryffindor Tower.

Everyone left and Hermione ran hot water, not bothering to add bubbles, she undressed and jumped in. *Harry still wants to go out...thats...great. but what about Draco. i cant help my feelings towards the evil git.* Taking a large breath she slid under the warm water. Finally running out of air she emerged up and decided to come out. She took a towel and looked over at Malfoy's door. It was shut and she changed, relieved. Blow drying her hair with a simple spell she changed into her PJ's in the saftey of her room and slunked into bed falling asleep almost suddenly.
