*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S

As soon as Charms, which was the last class of the day had finished, Lavender and Hermione walked together to the Head Common Room, ready to design the cheerleading outfits.

When they got to the portrait hole, they were greeted by Lady Pearl.

"Good afternoon Lady Pearl. Why are you alone? Where is Sir Jack?"

Lady Pearl smiled at the two young ladies and replied, "He's gone off to play with Sir Cadogan, but he should be back shortly. Password?"

Hermione blushed and whispered "Malfoy's hot."

Lady Pearl shook her head and said, "What was that darling? Speak up."

"Malfoy's hot." She said, a little louder.

"I'm sorry, I still can't hear you."

"Oh for god sakes! Malfoy's hot!" She said, impatiently, loud enough for Lavender to hear.

"What!?" She asked, shocked.

"Don't ask." Hermione and Lavender stepped into the Common Room and Hermione got out some parchment and they began to design the outfits.

One hour and several sketches later, Hermione and Lavender had finally come up with a final draft. (A/N You'll find out what it looks like at the match!)

Hermione looked at her watch. "Oh, come on Lavender, we'd better hurry or we'll be late for dinner." She rolled up the parchment and put it in her book bag and the two girls walked out of the portrait hole and down to Dinner.

*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S*S

After dinner, Hermione walked back to the Head common room but walked in on a rather disturbing sight. Draco and Pansy were on the couch and Pansy was practically raping Draco, and he didn't look like he was enjoying it at all. He was trying to push the girl off, but she just thought he meant to go further.

Draco saw Hermione walk into the common room and caught her eye. When Pansy began to move down his neck, he looked at Hermione with a scared expression and mouthed the words 'Help me!'

*Awww, he looks so helpless there. Maybe I should help him, after all I do owe him from this morning's incident.* Not only Hermione's looks had changed over summer, but so had her attitude. She wasn't little bookworm Granger anymore, no siree. If she was going to help Malfoy, she was at least going to have a little fun doing it.

She walked over to the couch and winked at Draco, trying her best not to smile. She put on an extremely high-pitched voice and tried to sound upset.

"Oh my god! Drakey-poo, is that you? Are you cheating on me? Because I thought you said you loved me! Why, if I found out that you didn't really love me anymore, I'd just die Drakey I'd just DIE!" She cried, putting emphasis on the word 'die'.

She almost laughed at the expression on both their faces. Draco was looking at her with admiration and trying not to smirk, and Pansy, well Pansy's face was a mixture of sadness and stupidness.

Hermione put her hand to her forehead as though she was going to faint and started to pretend to cry and ran up to her room and slammed the door, but as soon as she was sure they weren't look at her anymore, she opened her door just a crack to see what was going on outside.

She had opened it just in time to see the show start.

Pansy literally jumped off Draco and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Is that true Drakey? Did you tell the little Mudblood that you loved her?" Hermione ignored the fact that she had called her a Mudblood; in fact, it had almost become a bit of a nickname. Not one that Hermione particularly liked, but all the same, she got called it so much that it almost was a nickname.

Draco looked at Pansy, not sure what to say. He looked a bit guilty and managed to stutter "Yes… well… the thing about that is…"

"You did! Didn't you? Why her Drakey? Why not me?" she cried hysterically and ran out of the common room.

Hermione opened her door fully and stepped out. She walked over to the couch Draco was sitting on and sat down next to him, a satisfied smirk on her face.

"Nice work Granger but Drakey-poo?" He asked, smirking.

Hermione laughed. "Hey, I got rid of her didn't I?"

Draco laughed too. "Yeah, I suppose you did. But she's going to blab all around Slytherin about this you know."

"So? Who's going to believe her? Why was she here anyway?" Hermione asked.

"I have no idea. I was just sitting here in the common room, reading and she came barging in. She must have found out the password or something. She just started straddling me and I couldn't get the skank off!"

Hermione looked at Draco. He looked truly terrified. She laughed and said, "Well, she must have heard one of us saying the," Hermione paused at this point and coughed before continuing, " 'password'."

Draco smirked. There was silence for about a minute until Draco spoke up again

He smirked and mimicked Hermione, "I'd just die Drakey! I'd just die!"

THWACK! A pillow had hit Draco right in the face. Hermione stuck out her tongue and laughed.

Drack smiled mischievously. "You're gonna pay for that." He grabbed the pillow Hermione had thrown at him and piffed it back at Hermione. Hermione raised her arms with the pillow in her hands, ready to hit Draco, but he was too quick. He had the element of surprise and he tickled her under the arms and she fell over, laughing hard.

As soon as she was down, Draco started tickling her even more. He had her pinned down and Hermione was trying to fight back but her ribs her started hurting from laughing so hard. "Ha, Ha. Stop. Ha, Ha. It. Ha, Ha. I, Ha. Ha. SURENDER!"

Draco laughed and stopped tickling her, but he didn't get off her. Their eyes locked and they stayed like that for a moment. Draco began to lean in. *Oh my god, what's happening? Oh god, he's going to kiss me!* Hermione's heart was beating so fast, she was scared that Draco could hear it. She tilted her head up and their lips met.

It was a slow and passionate kiss, and Hermione's body felt like it was on fire. There were sparks flying through every part of her body. No kiss with Krum had ever felt like this. No, she had kissed him because she had to, but with Draco, it was her choice and it was pure bliss.

After what seemed like ages, they finally broke apart, and the realizations hit Hermione. She had just pashed her best friends' enemy *Wait, isn't he supposed to be my enemy too?* Draco looked kind of guilty too, but Hermione could tell that he had enjoyed it too.

"Draco… we shouldn't have… Harry… Ron… You, Slytherin… Me, Gryffindor… I'm sorry." Hermione let the tears fall down her face and she ran to her dorm, shutting the door behind her. She leaned back against the door and sat down, letting the silent tears fall freely down her face. As she cried, Hermione got the feeling that that stumble she had had that morning wasn't going to be the only type of falling she was going to be doing that year.

A/N Sorry! I know, I know, Hermione shouldn't have ran but don't worry, my story will DEFINETLY have a Hermione/Draco ending! This chapter was a bit korny, but I'll try and improve next time! Review please but no flames!
