Draco's POV

I can't believe she actually thought I was going to let her walk back to her dorm alone. I couldn't even if I wanted to, I would probably just end up going after her. So I simply pulled her by the hand and walked with her.

" So then " She said. I turned to look at her. "yes?" She shrugged. "Just trying to make conversation ."I smirked "Not really your strong point huh?" She glared at me." You really shouldn't be pointing out the things I'm bad at when I'm good at a lot more "I laughed "Does that include being conceited?" She dropped my hand and turned to me. "YOUR calling ME conceited ?Well that's really hypercritical of you" She said angrily. I was slightly amused by how easy it was to get this girl fired up. "And what is so funny?" She asked .I gripped her hips gently and pulled her closer to me. "Just how incredible adorable you look when your angry, Your eyes just light up. They flash dangerously. Especially when it's directed at me. "She blushed slightly but didn't pull away. I didn't want to push things so I simply kissed her forehead and pulled her down the hall way. "Come on my little conceited firefly. "I said. I heard her laugh brightly behind me.

The professor's were once again watching the two. They were still in shock to see the way Draco acted with Hermione. "I must say this is a positive side of Mr.Malfoy wouldn't you agree? "Professor Flick asked. They other's nodded in

agreement. "Oh my dangerous waters ahead "Professor Tawny said softly watching the young students laugh and talk happily. "I'm sure everything will work out" Nacrissa Said.

Hermione's POV

I was having a great time just walking with Draco. I loved spending time with him. He was so sweet and caring. I felt safe and content being closer to him. And when he called me Firefly I was jumping with joy inside, My own nickname and from him. But I wanted to be closer to him I was just scared a little. I wasn't stupid I knew he wasn't a virgin. He didn't wait around for girls. I didn't think I was worth waiting around for anyways. There was one way to find out though. I could take a chance. I bit down on my lip hard in thought. Then I decided oh well I'll give it a try. I'll never know unless I do something. So I stopped him. He turned to face me. "What? Is something wrong?" He asked. I pushed him back against the wall. He looked shocked. "What are..."I cut him off by kissing him straight on the lips. He responded instantly. I gently took his bottom lip and sucked softly, He moaned in a response. His arms were holding me tightly to him. Then visions flashed in my head. I was suddenly very afraid again. I pulled away and jumped quickly. Tears clouded my vision and they fell freely.

Draco's POV

I was in heaven when she kissed me, pure bliss. I felt a shock surge through my whole body and when she sucked on my lip I felt like I was going to clapse. They she just pulled away and started crying. "Hermione" I said stepping to her she back away again. "I'm sorry" She said. "Don't be just tell me what's wrong." She shook her head. "I got to go" She turned and ran down the hallway. He stood there for a minute complicating what just happened. "Its probably for the best." He said to himself.Then he turned and headed to his dorm to get some sleep.

"Oh dear this doesn't look good "Professor McGonagall said. "He's close to giving up" The Professor's all signed. "So close yet so far" Professor Flick said. "Wouldn't it be easier just to tell Ms.Granger about the spell?" Snape asked." Well Yes Severus but it's much better this way. We can't expect Ms.Granger to just learn to love him she needs to really love and trust him" Professor Dumbledore said gently. "She's to broken Professsor,I mean do you really think she'll be able to trust again so soon and Draco of all people." Snape said hotly. Dumbledore chuckled. "Severus, you of all people should no that everything is repairable. Ms.Granger is not broken. She will rise above this and be stronger ,wiser then ever. And she will do it with Mr.Malfoy's help. I do not doubt this "He said. "Now enough of this for now. Head to your chambers and rest. Good-Night all" He said walking out in his usual cheery mood.

Hermione's POV

I couldn't sleep at all that night. I decided I didn't.... no couldn't to be around Draco anymore. It was just to hard. I knew he would be upset about the kiss. Who wouldn't be. I had kissed him and then pushed him a way. It was horrible of me and I felt guilty. He deserved someone better.....better then me. I got up at 5:30 having giving up on sleep. I showered and dressed. Classes started today and I couldn't wait. That would take my mind off of everything. Breakfast started serving at 6:45 and went to 7:5o so I decided just to go down there till first class. Double Potions first with Slytherin, Care of Magical Creature with Slythein and DADA with none other then slytherin then I had advanced Arithmancy which Draco was in of course. My heart flutter at the thought of seeing him but then I cursed myself silently. I vanished all thoughts off Draco from my head and headed to the Great Hall.

Draco's POV

" God Damn her " I cursed for the thousandth time. Why can't I stop thinking about her? Her eyes, her lips and her smile! Everything about her was filling my mind and it was pissing the hell out of me. I was suppose to be mad at her. But I couldn't be I knew perfectly well why she acted like that. And I excepted it to. I couldn't expect her to just forgive and forget. But it wasn't fair for her to kiss me then freak out. I countered back to myself. I groaned and decided just to go to the great hall. I had a whole damn day of classes with Gryffindor which included her of course and Advanced Arithmancy. I headed down to the Great Hall after I slowly got ready. It was 7:35 when I got down there. Everyone else was practically there. I noticed Hermione's face light up when I came in and that almost made me forget all about how I was suppose to be mad at her. But I didn't I ignored her and went to the Slytherin table. Blasie, Crab, Goyle and Pansy who were at the Gryffindor table all exchanged confused looks and then came over and joined me. "What's going on dude? What happened with you and Granger ?" I looked at Crab. "How did you know it was about her?" I asked. "Well when you came over here she busted into tears and ran out" Blaise answered. I felt a pang of guiltiness. But I pushed it away. "Well good! That stupid know-it-all deserved it "I said coldly getting a few curious looks from the other Slytherin's. My wonderful friends sat in silence the rest of the time. They all kept shooting glances at each other telling the other to ask me about it.But luckily for them no one did. "Come on we have potions next, I don't want to be late. "I said quickly gathering up my stuff and heading to the exit. The others followed without a word. When we walked into the classroom all the Gryffindors sent me glares and the Slytherin's all smirked. One came up to me. "I knew you couldn't really be interested in that Mudblood Vir-Oh wait She's not a virgin anymore "He said laughing. "You know Draco you should of stayed with her a little longer. I heard she was real good. Since it was her first time she would still be all nice and tight." I felt the angry rises in me but I kept my cool. Several Gryffindors looked ready to kill him and me but luckily Professor Snape came in. "Shut up and take a sit!" He yelled. Everyone sat quickly. Blaise looked at me confused, Pansy looked pissed and Crab and Goyle didn't look at me at all. About 15 minutes into class the door opened and Professor McGonagall came in followed by Potter, Weasley and ..Granger. I noticed her tear streaked face and felt even more guilty but tried by best to ignore it. "Sorry to disturb you but Dumbledore said this couldn't be put off. Mr.Weasly ,Mr.Potter go ahead and take a sit.20 points have already been taken from them for being late. "Professoe Snape nodded his head "What about Ms.Granger?" Professor McGonagall stepped forward a bit. "Well Serveus Ms.Granger came to myself and Albus, it seem's she's put a application in for Drumstang School for wizards and witches in America and was excepted, she will be transferring this weekend and I need her past grade's in this class by Wednesday if you don't mind. "I felt like the air was taken right out of my lungs. The Gryffindor's were all protesting and Pansy and Blasie were telling me to say something. "Herms don't go please" That Lavender girl was saying. Hermione merely smiled. "It's for the best" Hermione turned to follow Professor McGonagall and caught my eye .Her eyes pleaded my forgiveness but I knew the minute I had heard she was leaving I had forgiven her. Right when she was about to leave I called her name. She turned in surprise. Pansy, Crab, Goyle and Blaise all looked happy. I walked up to her and looked her straight in the eye.

Hermione's POV

I had been sitting with everyone having fun and talking but then Draco had came in and I felt my world brighten but then he just ignored me and sat with the Slytherin's I felt tears come to my eyes and I hurried out of the hall. I walked around for a few minutes before I came to a solution. I walked up to Professor Dumbledore's office." Candy Apple's" The gargoyle moved aside and I walked up the stairs telling myself this was for the best. He smiled brightly at me from his desk "Ah Ms.Granger what can I do for you?" I hesitantly told him about wanting to transfer to a school in America. He looked quit disappointed but summoned Professor McGonagall to go to all my classes and alert my teachers. On the way Harry and Ron were caught being late and lost 20 points. But Professor was understanding when they said they were worried about me and gave back the points for showing concern for a fellow student. The last class we had to go to was Potions I was scared about having to face Draco. The whole time I could feel his eyes on me. I even caught his eye when I turned to leave. I silently asked him to forgive me for everything but I could tell her already had. I was surprised when he called out my name and walked over to me. I couldn't find my voice to say anything. I just looked at him.

Draco's POV

I fought with myself trying to think of something to say so I just went with the most obvious. "Don't go" She gasped and looked at me confused. I heard people rustling behind me but I didn't care. "What?" She asked." Don't leave Hogwarts"

"Why not?" She asked softly." Because everyone wants you to stay" I said slapping myself mentally.I saw the disappointment on her face." Thats not a good enough reason "She said turning to go .I grabbed her arm "What is a good enough reason?" I asked slightly angry." What do you want from me" She asked tears falling from her eyes. I dropped her arm "YOU!I want you. Is that so much to ask for. I mean really Granger I'm trying here and now your just going to leave. What's with that." Everyone had gasped when I confessed that it was her I wanted." Your lying" She said simply. Now I was pissed" Oh your right! Got me there. I would confess this in front of Gryffindors who would kill me in a instant and Slytherin's who would torture me then kill me just to play you! Your right Granger I don't care forget I even said it. "I said angrily leaving the room.I went back to my room and stayed there rest if the day and night.I went down to the Kitchen's to get alot of food. I didn't want to face her at all.So would wait till she left then go to my classed.I would probably get in a lot of trouble but I didn't care.So I stayed there ingonring everyone that knocked on my door. A few times I head that she wanted to talk to me.I even heard she was crying at the door.The day she was leaving I watched her out the window in my room.I watched everyone hug her and say there good-byes.I wanted to say mine.I grabbed a piecie of Parchment and quickly wrote a simple message. "Give this to Hermione"I told my owl.He flew out the window and landed on her shoulder.She smile softly and took the paper.She looked over at someone in the crowd and I noticed it was Blaise."Damn he told her it was from me"She opened it up, I wish I could see her reaction.

Hermione's POV

After that eposide in Potions I desperatly tried to talk to Draco.But he didn't go to any of his classes,he was never in the Great Hall.I even went to the Slytherin common room.As I walked out to the carriage taking me and Hagrid to the train station I wished with all my might that Draco would come with me.BUt as I said good-bye to everyone else I knew it wasn't true.Tears sprang to my eyes.I knew I had blown this,it was all my fault.Iw as just getting into the carriage when a owl landed on my shoulder."Thats Draco's"I turned to see Blaise.I nervously opened the letter and read it silently.It said I'm sorry.I love you.I licked my lip and slid the parchment into my pocket."Does anyone.."Pansy and Goyle handed me parchment and a quill.I smiled gratefully.I wrote back quickly gave it to his own"Give this to Draco"The owl soared off to Draco's empty window.I took a deep breathe and climbed into the Carriage.Walking away from the love of my life,my friends but more importantly a past I couldn't ingnore.

Draco's POV

When I got a response I was surprised.I read it quickly.I'm sorry to.I love you please don't forget me.I'll be back I promise.I signed and layed down."Fuck"I mumbled.
