Hermione and Ginny went back to Hogwarts, they didn't stop talking till
they reached Hogwarts, talking about their holidays, when Ginny mentioned
how evil Draco was, Hermione said she could be nice because he saved her,
she didn't finish but Ginny understood and changed the subject.
"Well, it's about time Ginny! I was wondering if you would come back this year anytime soon!" Ginny's friend, Maria was waiting for her, she bid farewell to Hermione and went to her friend, Hermione sighed.
"Well, it's nice to see some youth here, well, sane youth anyways." Hermione turned to face Draco who was looking at Prof. Fittlebird, now walking stonily towards her next class.
"I reckon she takes drugs." Hermione replied, Draco smiled, Hermione laughed a bit, yep, being herself again was sweet, she appreciated life so much more.
"Damn, first years next period."
"I got sevens and first." Hermione said looking at her timetable.
"Ouch."
"Yeah, and you know what makes it better?"
"What?"
"Sevens are straight after first."
"Oh, well, that's just heaven to my ears." Draco added laughing, Hermione smiled, she liked it when Draco laughed, he seemed so much more freer, she guessed that no more Crabbe and Goyle would of changed him, she instantly got a vision of Crabbe and Goyle, cracking their knuckles as Draco taught class, she couldn't help but smile and giggle.
The rest of the day went like a breeze, she had first years, which was surprisingly good at what she taught them, and then seven years, some deserved to be in first year Hermione thought as she rushed to save a mouse with a burning tail.
Draco flumped himself on his chair as they ate dinner.
"What's up?"
"Two cauldrons were melted, TWO, and, to make matters worse, they were seven years! At least Longbottom was able to get out of the habit in 6th year, but, 7th!!" He added grumpily, Hermione giggled, 'he looked so cute like that.. No, he is NOT cute, never, EVER think that again, but look at him, NO!!' Hermione's brain fought a furious battle during dinner; she never finished the battle though, for Dumbledore had said something about House Elves rights, she was lost in the conversation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke up to a glorious day, the sun was full on her face, in a gentle way, she got up, stretched, had a shower, got dressed, opened the door and screamed as Draco was standing there.
"Ah!" Draco jumped as he screamed. They both caught their hearts, Hermione started cracking up.
"What?"
"You looked so funny." She said bending over; he looked puzzled.
"How so?"
"When you got scared, that-was-so-!" but she didn't finished, she bended down in gales of laughter, Draco smiled.
"Well, came to give you this message." He handed her a note, she thanked him with tears of laughter in her eyes, she went back in her room and opened the note; it read.
'Dear Hermione, how are you? I just saw Harry, he is better, he has a broken leg, but hey, we're talking about a guy that no bones in his arms right! Anyway, just wrote to see if you're ok, you know, if Draco is bothering you...' Hermione read the rest, it was about what he do if Draco touched or hurt in anyway, she loved it how he was worried about her, but, did he have to be so graphic about it? She sighed and went downstairs to breakfast to get a piece of toast and run to her class.
"Class, today we shall learn about-." Someone knocked at the door; it was Draco! Ginny sat there, her eyes shot daggers at him, he sneered, Hermione rolled her eyes. "I'll be right back class, continue with the class, Miss Tyler, can you please take over while I'm gone?" A seventh year got up and trumped to the class, watching them as they did the spells, she was the best and Hermione felt confident in her.
"What?" She asked as they were alone in the hall.
"I need to ask you something, but not here, people might hear."
"Ok, where?"
"Empty classroom?"
"Ok." They went to an empty room, Hermione flopped down on a desk, Draco stood there, he looked nervous.
"Well?"
"Ummm..." 'What are you doing Draco? Come on, you can do better then that' he shook himself before he continued. "Wanna go to Hogsmade with me?" He asked in one breath, he expected Hermione to laugh in his face, well, she did smile, he felt so stupid.
"Ok." Draco froze, 'Is this happening?'
"Re-really?"
"Ya."
"Yes." He said quietly, he was so proud; he mentally gave himself a pat on the back.
"Cool, on, Saturday?"
"Saturday it is." Hermione left, but, Draco pulled on to him and kissed her, she stood in shock for a while, she melted, his lips felt so good, they felt like heat and ice mixed together, she kissed back, but she pulled apart, they had class to get to, Draco shrugged and left her, but she didn't miss the smile he created.
Hermione went back to her class, she finished it off, but her mind was on the kiss, she would never forget that moment, after all, he did see her naked, what's a kiss?
On Saturday, Hermione checked herself in the mirror, 'Yep, you look gorgeous Hermione, not sexy, but not casual, just, you!' she liked what she wore, it was a pair of black baggy jeans, a dark red top, silver hooped earrings, sneakers, and her silver necklace with a circle with a star in it and a small black handbag, 'very snazzy.' She thought to herself as she left the room.
"Hey, I'm waiting for a girl named Hermione, you wouldn't know where she is do you? Oh well, you look much better then her, can I take you out instead?" Draco said smiling as Hermione walked up to him, she playfully punched him.
"Ow, hey, it is you Hermione, man, you could of fooled me!" he added in a mock tone, Hermione stuck her tongue out. "Not now." He said smiling even broader; she just punched him harder. Draco was wearing a black top, black baggy jeans and a pair of sneakers, Hermione smiled, he wasn't fancy dress, he wasn't casual, he looked cute!
"So, where first?"
"Hey, how about a club, you look ready for it." He said, eyeing her up and down, she liked it the way he eyed her; she blushed.
"Well, ok, a club." She answered, not looking at his eyes.
"Ok, a club it is!" and they went through the streets, they entered a deserted street and Draco felt Hermione get closer to her, he put his arm around her protectively, she smiled to herself, 'He is such a darl.'
"Here we are." Draco exclaimed; they were standing in front of a door that Hermione had never seen before, it was just outside Honeydukes.
"I've never seen this-."
"Of course you've never seen it, only people above 18 can see the door, and it's no use to use a growth potion, all clubs are heavily protected by an anti-age shield." He said plainly.
"Oh." She said as they entered.
She was practically thrown back by the music as they entered, it was so loud, she felt warm as she entered, it was great, people around her were singing, dancing and drinking, no one smoking as it was a non-smoking place, she shivered in the warmth, Draco laughed and they went to get a table.
"So, what you darls want?" Said a very slutty looking waiter.
"Uh? For you to go away." Draco exclaimed, Hermione smiled, she always thought him to like sluts, she felt better.
"So." He said, throwing his arm across her shoulders. "Wanna dance?"
"Sure." They went to the dance floor.
Draco Pov.
Whoa, can she dance! I thought she was always a nosy no-it-all, who did everything by the rules, but whoa, on the dance floor, she was dynamite, she looked so hot! Well, she sure did get me back! Oh, how I wish I could just..
End of Draco Pov.
Draco was dancing with her and Hermione was dancing in his outstretched arms, (Think of the vid clip by Justin 'Sineorita' (Or however you spell it!))
Hermione and Draco sat down puffing after an hour of non-stop dancing, Draco smile as he kissed her, she kissed back, they were together for what seemed like forever, Hermione felt great.
"Better freshen up." Draco said, Hermione blushed, they were both sweating a lot, she got up with Draco and walked into the bathrooms.
As soon as Hermione walked into the bathroom, a spell shot her and she was completely dry, and her clothes were dry and smelt great, she smiled, washed her hands and went outside while smelling like impulse- incense body mist.
"Mmmm... you smell good." She turned around expecting to see Draco but, instead she came face-to-face with a stranger, he smelled her and looked at her hungrily.
Draco stepped out of the bathroom smelling like lynx- Phoenix, he scanned the room for Hermione and saw her, with another guy? 'Hang on..' He thought to himself, she looked scared, he was advancing to her, he felt anger well up like never before, 'She just got better.' He thought angrily as he ran to Hermione, 'And now this dickhead's gone and scared her again!' He growled and ran to the guy and knocked him clear off his feet. Hermione ran to him and grabbed him, he looked menacingly as the guy got up to take a swipe, but, before Draco could have another go, the bartender came and sent Draco and the guy out of the club, Hermione followed Draco, not letting go of him.
"Are you all right?" He asked, concern filled every line on his face.
"ye-yes." She stammered, she was on the verge of crying.
"Don't cry." He said, hugging her and kissing her head, she shuddered, not because it was cold, but because she couldn't get the image of that guy out of her head.
"I-I could of made him go away, I was weak, I let my guard down again, I shouldn't have, I said I wouldn't after last time, but, I was having such a good time, I-."
"What do you mean by not let your guard down? You think you're weak for what you did? Never think that, you are not weak, you're quite strong for a girl like you, other girls I've taken to this club would have begged me to fu- ummm, take them somewhere more ummm.." His voice trailed off and he blushed. Hermione giggled.
"Oh Draco, Thanks for today, I had a really great time." Hermione pecked him on the cheek and they went, but Draco felt as if Hermione was a bit distant then before, he mentally kicked himself, they were having such a great time, he let go of his 'guard' down today, he felt furious with himself, Hermione looked at him, he was so nice, he had saved her twice now, she would never forget Draco, her first crush, she blushed despite the cold weather.
"Well, thanks again for today, maybe another day, when maniacs are around?"
"Well, that's gonna be never!"
"Ha, well, ok, next Saturday?"
"Cool."
"K, bye." Hermione turned to leave to her chambers, Draco did the same, Ginny was sitting behind the pot plant, she gasped.
"Hermione? Hermione! I know you're there!"
"What Ginny?"
"We need to talk!" Hermione groaned, she sounded so much like her brother it was amazing, she dragged herself off her bed and answered the door, she stood there just as Hermione had guessed, arms folded with a stern face plastered on her face.
"What?"
Ginny entered and shut the door. "I saw you and Draco, TOGETHER!"
"Your point?"
"Why didn't you tell you were going out?"
"We're not going out, we just went to a club."
"THAT'S GOING OUT!!"
"Whatever." She said, she felt tired, she felt sick, she wanted to sleep, why couldn't Ginny just go.
"Well, I hope you'll come to your senses soon, I wont tell Ron, this time, if I ever see you two together again, I'll write!" Hermione nodded, only taking in the part about her senses, she got up, opened the door, Ginny left, she walked to her bed, and, as if in slow motion, fell towards her bed, she was asleep before she hit the bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione got up and felt lousy, it was dark outside, she needed some fresh air, she decided to take a ride on her broom.
She was flying across the grounds when she saw someone standing near the forbidden forest with what looked like a smoke, she let curiosity get the better of her and went to see whom it was.
"Oh, hi Prof. Fittlebird." Prof. Fittlebird took no notice of her, she continued to take drags on her joint.
"Uhh.. Is that weed?" She asked in a hushed voice, her hand moved towards her wand. Prof. Fittlebird nodded and went back to smoking, talking to herself and giggling.
"Ummm.. why don't you come here, we'll go to the. wing! Yeah, and we'll get you something to make you feel right at home." Prof. Fittlebird nodded, Hermione mounted her on her broom and they flew to the Hospital wing.
"Hermione! Tristy!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed as they flew through the window.
"I saw her smoking, that!" Hermione said, gesturing the joint.
"Oh my, Albus wont be very happy."
"Happy about what Poppy?" Albus asked, entering the Hospital Wing. She pointed to the joint. If Hermione had thought she had seen Albus mad, she was wrong.
"Tristy! I entrusted you with the students education, and, you are smoking and endangering their lives!" He bellowed, Tristy snapped back to reality and shrunk into the corner, Albus fired her, he looked so angry, he eyes were blazing, he had no twinkle in his eyes, someone had endangered his students. (He looked just they way he looked in the 4th book when they blast down the door in the impostor's office.)
Well, naturally, the story spread throughout the whole school, but, they had no DADA teacher now, one day, Ginny came up with a perfect solution that made Hermione want to scream at her.
"What about Harry? I'm sure he'll be thrilled to take the job!" She said, looking at Hermione who had just dropped her fork, Draco sneered, Hermione felt scared, what about someone else, not now, she didn't want him, anyone else, well, it wouldn't be that bad..
"Hey Hermione!" Harry arrived two days later, Hermione hugged Harry and kissed him on the cheek, Draco felt a tinge of jealousy; those lips were on his lips a few days ago, he tried hard not to crush his glass.
Hermione felt worse that day, she couldn't shake the vision of the guy in the club that day; Draco sensed this and told himself to talk to her tonight.
"Hermione?"
"Draco?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Draco entered, she was wearing a black nightgown, he sat on her bed, Hermione sat next to him and he put his arm over her shoulders. "I wont ever leave your side unless you want me to." He kissed head, gave her a reassuring hug, and was about to leave.
"Don't leave." Hermione whispered, Draco sat down and Hermione kissed him passionately, they stayed there kissing for over an hour.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione got up, she felt a bit better, Draco had reassured she was safe, she smiled at the thought of him ad thought of him in the shower, when she was getting dressed, even when she was eating, she wasn't even aware that Harry was trying to get her attention.
"Hermione? Hermione? Her-mi-o-ne?"
"Wha-?"
"Phew, I thought I lost you in your brainy world of smart people!"
"Huh?"
"Never mind."
"Uh, ok." Se went back to eating, Harry swore he saw Draco smile out of the corner of his eye, when he turned to look at him; he had no smile.
"Hermione!" Harry said breathlessly as she stopped and looked at him, she felt horrible again, she felt dirty, and now Harry was there, she felt worse.
"Yeah?"
"What's up with you today? You've barely acknowledged anything anyone's said today."
"Oh, I've just been thinking."
"But that's normal." Harry said smiling.
"Well, I thought I would think more then usual." Hermione added smiling, her smile felt false, she didn't like pretending, she felt dirty, she wished Harry would go away, she didn't know why though, she loved Harry, but, ever since it happened.
"Well, I'll leave you to you thinking." Harry said, when he got no response, he shrugged and left.
"Hermione?"
"Draco?"
"Yeah, can I-."
"Sure."
Draco entered, he looked concern, she was happy he was here; he was the only person worth talking to at that moment.
"Well?"
"I was, ummm.. Wanna go out again?"
"Same place?"
"Sure."
"Same time?"
"Sure."
"Same ending?"
"Definitely not." Hermione smiled and kissed Draco, when they broke, Draco asked.
"So, yes or no?" Hermione laughed and punched him.
'Friday' Hermione thought miserably to herself, she didn't want to get up, she checked her timetable, only three classes today, all at the start of the day, she'll sleep this afternoon, she pushed herself up and went downstairs.
"Hermione!" Hermione groaned, so many people had called her name so many times that week, she thought that she would change her name to something no one could pronounce, then she thought about how many times people will try to and fail miserably to call her that name, she got so annoyed that Ginny backed away sensing hostility.
The three classes passed slowly, Hermione put on her fake self and went through the day, when it was over, she went to her room, shut the door, and instantly fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke up, it was dark again, she felt hungry, she guessed she would go to the kitchens, she didn't think it was against the rules for teachers to do so, so she got up.
It felt weird, not having to worry about being caught by teachers, she realised how free she was now, she smiled, she felt great, the moonlight hit her delicate pale skin as she walked towards the painting of the fruit, she tickled the pear and entered.
"Mr. Potter's friend!" Came a familiar squeaky voice, she looked down to see Dobby, happy and practically bouncing.
"Hey Dobby, can I have some food? I am a bit peckish."
"No problem ma'am, we're just helping another teacher as well." She shot her head up, expecting to see Harry, Draco?
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Didn't see you at dinner."
"I was asleep." He chuckled.
"What?"
"You missed Harry's face."
"I've seen it plenty of times." She said, raising her eyebrows.
"No, you see, I came late as well, he thought, you know what he thought." Hermione blushed, how could Harry think that she would sleep with Draco, well, now that she thought about it.
"Crazy, I know."
"But you were considering it." He said; Hermione blushed.
"You were too." Draco smiled.
"Anything else miss?"
"No Dobby, bye."
"Bye miss and Mast- Mr. Malfoy." Draco looked at him, he nodded, and Dobby's eyes welled up. (Remember, Draco was Dobby's owner once?)
"So, your place or mine?" he said slyly, Hermione smiled and whispered teasingly in his ear.
"Mine." Hermione said smiling, she went up, Draco looked after her, shaking his head, he was, had and is falling for her, the mud-no she wasn't that anymore, she was Hermione.
It was Saturday, Hermione felt ecstatic, she got up, dressed in her black cargos, a grey top, hooped silver earrings and her sneakers, along with her religious necklace, she put a spell so that if anyone, (In particular, Ginny or Harry.) were to see her, they would just see her in her normal clothes, she jumped for joy as she got to Honeydukes, she saw Draco, he looked at her clothes bleakly.
"Oh Draco, it's a spell." She said, rolling her eyes, Draco smiled. Hermione un-did the spell and revealed her clothes, Draco smiled slyly.
After another hour of dancing, Hermione and Draco sat down, Hermione rested her head upon his chest, is gasps for breath made her head rise and fall, it soothed her.
"What you want?" A different waitress waited them.
"Two waters." Draco answered, Hermione kept her eyes closed, suddenly, Draco moved abruptly, she opened her eyes.
"Harry's here."
"So?" Draco smiled and sat back down, she felt so peaceful, she didn't care if Harry saw them, in fact, she wanted him to see them, but, he didn't she didn't care though, she was with Draco, and nothing would change that, nothing.
###########################################################
Well, that last part I put there to show you guys that she is letting her guard down again, well, read and review Plz! Luv ya'll who have reviewed!!
"Well, it's about time Ginny! I was wondering if you would come back this year anytime soon!" Ginny's friend, Maria was waiting for her, she bid farewell to Hermione and went to her friend, Hermione sighed.
"Well, it's nice to see some youth here, well, sane youth anyways." Hermione turned to face Draco who was looking at Prof. Fittlebird, now walking stonily towards her next class.
"I reckon she takes drugs." Hermione replied, Draco smiled, Hermione laughed a bit, yep, being herself again was sweet, she appreciated life so much more.
"Damn, first years next period."
"I got sevens and first." Hermione said looking at her timetable.
"Ouch."
"Yeah, and you know what makes it better?"
"What?"
"Sevens are straight after first."
"Oh, well, that's just heaven to my ears." Draco added laughing, Hermione smiled, she liked it when Draco laughed, he seemed so much more freer, she guessed that no more Crabbe and Goyle would of changed him, she instantly got a vision of Crabbe and Goyle, cracking their knuckles as Draco taught class, she couldn't help but smile and giggle.
The rest of the day went like a breeze, she had first years, which was surprisingly good at what she taught them, and then seven years, some deserved to be in first year Hermione thought as she rushed to save a mouse with a burning tail.

He added grumpily, Hermione giggled, 'he looked so cute like that.. No, he is NOT cute, never, EVER think that again, but look at him, NO!!'

"Well, that's gonna be never!"
"Ha, well, ok, next Saturday?"
"Cool."
"K, bye." Hermione turned to leave to her chambers, Draco did the same, Ginny was sitting behind the pot plant, she gasped.
"Hermione? Hermione! I know you're there!"
"What Ginny?"
"We need to talk!" Hermione groaned, she sounded so much like her brother it was amazing, she dragged herself off her bed and answered the door, she stood there just as Hermione had guessed, arms folded with a stern face plastered on her face.

"THAT'S GOING OUT!!"
"Whatever." She said, she felt tired, she felt sick, she wanted to sleep, why couldn't Ginny just go.

She was flying across the grounds when she saw someone standing near the forbidden forest with what looked like a smoke, she let curiosity get the better of her and went to see whom it was.
"Oh, hi Prof. Fittlebird." Prof. Fittlebird took no notice of her, she continued to take drags on her joint.
"Uhh.. Is that weed?" She asked in a hushed voice, her hand moved towards her wand. Prof. Fittlebird nodded and went back to smoking, talking to herself and giggling.
"Ummm.. why don't you come here, we'll go to the. wing! Yeah, and we'll get you something to make you feel right at home." Prof. Fittlebird nodded, Hermione mounted her on her broom and they flew to the Hospital wing.
"Hermione! Tristy!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed as they flew through the window.
"I saw her smoking, that!" Hermione said, gesturing the joint.
"Oh my, Albus wont be very happy."
"Happy about what Poppy?" Albus asked, entering the Hospital Wing. She pointed to the joint. If Hermione had thought she had seen Albus mad, she was wrong.
"Tristy! I entrusted you with the students education, and, you are smoking and endangering their lives!" He bellowed, Tristy snapped back to reality and shrunk into the corner, Albus fired her, he looked so angry, he eyes were blazing, he had no twinkle in his eyes, someone had endangered his students. (He looked just they way he looked in the 4th book when they blast down the door in the impostor's office.)
Well, naturally, the story spread throughout the whole school, but, they had no DADA teacher now, one day, Ginny came up with a perfect solution that made Hermione want to scream at her.
"What about Harry? I'm sure he'll be thrilled to take the job!" She said, looking at Hermione who had just dropped her fork, Draco sneered, Hermione felt scared, what about someone else, not now, she didn't want him, anyone else, well, it wouldn't be that bad..
"Hey Hermione!" Harry arrived two days later, Hermione hugged Harry and kissed him on the cheek, Draco felt a tinge of jealousy; those lips were on his lips a few days ago, he tried hard not to crush his glass.
Hermione felt worse that day, she couldn't shake the vision of the guy in the club that day; Draco sensed this and told himself to talk to her tonight.
"Hermione?"
"Draco?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Draco entered, she was wearing a black nightgown, he sat on her bed, Hermione sat next to him and he put his arm over her shoulders. "I wont ever leave your side unless you want me to." He kissed head, gave her a reassuring hug, and was about to leave.
"Don't leave." Hermione whispered, Draco sat down and Hermione kissed him passionately, they stayed there kissing for over an hour.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione got up, she felt a bit better, Draco had reassured she was safe, she smiled at the thought of him ad thought of him in the shower, when she was getting dressed, even when she was eating, she wasn't even aware that Harry was trying to get her attention.
"Hermione? Hermione? Her-mi-o-ne?"
"Wha-?"
"Phew, I thought I lost you in your brainy world of smart people!"
"Huh?"
"Never mind."
"Uh, ok." Se went back to eating, Harry swore he saw Draco smile out of the corner of his eye, when he turned to look at him; he had no smile.
"Hermione!" Harry said breathlessly as she stopped and looked at him, she felt horrible again, she felt dirty, and now Harry was there, she felt worse.
"Yeah?"
"What's up with you today? You've barely acknowledged anything anyone's said today."
"Oh, I've just been thinking."
"But that's normal." Harry said smiling.
"Well, I thought I would think more then usual." Hermione added smiling, her smile felt false, she didn't like pretending, she felt dirty, she wished Harry would go away, she didn't know why though, she loved Harry, but, ever since it happened.
"Well, I'll leave you to you thinking." Harry said, when he got no response, he shrugged and left.
"Hermione?"
"Draco?"
"Yeah, can I-."
"Sure."
Draco entered, he looked concern, she was happy he was here; he was the only person worth talking to at that moment.
"Well?"
"I was, ummm.. Wanna go out again?"
"Same place?"
"Sure."
"Same time?"
"Sure."
"Same ending?"
"Definitely not." Hermione smiled and kissed Draco, when they broke, Draco asked.
"So, yes or no?" Hermione laughed and punched him.
'Friday' Hermione thought miserably to herself, she didn't want to get up, she checked her timetable, only three classes today, all at the start of the day, she'll sleep this afternoon, she pushed herself up and went downstairs.
"Hermione!" Hermione groaned, so many people had called her name so many times that week, she thought that she would change her name to something no one could pronounce, then she thought about how many times people will try to and fail miserably to call her that name, she got so annoyed that Ginny backed away sensing hostility.
The three classes passed slowly, Hermione put on her fake self and went through the day, when it was over, she went to her room, shut the door, and instantly fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke up, it was dark again, she felt hungry, she guessed she would go to the kitchens, she didn't think it was against the rules for teachers to do so, so she got up.
It felt weird, not having to worry about being caught by teachers, she realised how free she was now, she smiled, she felt great, the moonlight hit her delicate pale skin as she walked towards the painting of the fruit, she tickled the pear and entered.
"Mr. Potter's friend!" Came a familiar squeaky voice, she looked down to see Dobby, happy and practically bouncing.
"Hey Dobby, can I have some food? I am a bit peckish."
"No problem ma'am, we're just helping another teacher as well." She shot her head up, expecting to see Harry, Draco?
"Hey."
"Hi."
"Didn't see you at dinner."
"I was asleep." He chuckled.
"What?"
"You missed Harry's face."
"I've seen it plenty of times." She said, raising her eyebrows.
"No, you see, I came late as well, he thought, you know what he thought." Hermione blushed, how could Harry think that she would sleep with Draco, well, now that she thought about it.
"Crazy, I know."
"But you were considering it." He said; Hermione blushed.
"You were too." Draco smiled.
"Anything else miss?"
"No Dobby, bye."
"Bye miss and Mast- Mr. Malfoy." Draco looked at him, he nodded, and Dobby's eyes welled up. (Remember, Draco was Dobby's owner once?)
"So, your place or mine?" he said slyly, Hermione smiled and whispered teasingly in his ear.
"Mine." Hermione said smiling, she went up, Draco looked after her, shaking his head, he was, had and is falling for her, the mud-no she wasn't that anymore, she was Hermione.
It was Saturday, Hermione felt ecstatic, she got up, dressed in her black cargos, a grey top, hooped silver earrings and her sneakers, along with her religious necklace, she put a spell so that if anyone, (In particular, Ginny or Harry.) were to see her, they would just see her in her normal clothes, she jumped for joy as she got to Honeydukes, she saw Draco, he looked at her clothes bleakly.
"Oh Draco, it's a spell." She said, rolling her eyes, Draco smiled. Hermione un-did the spell and revealed her clothes, Draco smiled slyly.
After another hour of dancing, Hermione and Draco sat down, Hermione rested her head upon his chest, is gasps for breath made her head rise and fall, it soothed her.
"What you want?" A different waitress waited them.
"Two waters." Draco answered, Hermione kept her eyes closed, suddenly, Draco moved abruptly, she opened her eyes.
"Harry's here."
"So?" Draco smiled and sat back down, she felt so peaceful, she didn't care if Harry saw them, in fact, she wanted him to see them, but, he didn't she didn't care though, she was with Draco, and nothing would change that, nothing.
