A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. By the way, I need to know if there's someone still interested. If there were anything you'd like me to change or add, do it in the reviews. I'm open for suggestions. If you're asking why I did what I did last chapter? All I can say is Hermione is not the type who'll fall in love just like that. She has to understand that she cannot choose the person to whom she'll fall in love with. Besides, I don't want to end it yet. I'm having so much fun playing with them.

Title: Models Have Fun
Chapter37: Official?
Everything's out, Hermione and Draco were caught kissing in the hallway. They were not caught by just any person, it had to be Harry. Hermione wasn't exactly proud of what she did. She hid herself inside her room. She didn't answer to any of her Gryffindor friends. Parvati and Lavender had tried to coax her into coming to class with them. Hermione however was being pigheaded, stubborn in short. She didn't want any company. She wanted time to wallow on her own. Ron accompanied by Neville and the others, tried to tempt her to eat during lunchtime. They were also met with refusal. (She didn't actually say anything.) She just lay on her bed trying to find a way to get out of the mess she got into or at least make an explanation.
At dinnertime, she felt really famished. She considered coming down to grab some food but then the memory of Harry's disgusted face came flashing at her. This made eating seem unappealing. She tried to focus and tried to catch up with the classes she missed that day. The class that she regretted missing the most was Transfiguration. After some time, her swollen eyes gave in and she fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she fell asleep. She looked outside her window and saw that it was still dark. What she doesn't know is whether it was too late at night or too early in the morning. She does know however that it was no time for any student to linger in the halls. She thought twice before risking being caught roaming. She had no choice however since her body was begging to get something to eat. She recognized that that was the reason as to why she woke up in the first place. She took her wand before she reached for the door. 'I sure wish I had Harry's cloak or at least his map.' She found thinking about Harry made her feel terrible. She clutched the doorknob asking herself again if she really was hungry. When she heard noises coming from her stomach, she turned the knob without hesitation.
She wanted to go to the kitchen as fast as possible to get some food and leave just as quickly to lessen the chance of getting caught. Her plans were foiled when she almost knocked on somebody. "Ouch!" Although with all of her awful moods, she still was able to restrain herself not wanting to be caught.
"Sorry." Draco said sincerely.
"What are you doing here?" She was annoyed at seeing him outside her door. "You shouldn't be here."
"I asked Dumbledore and he said." He was cut off.
"What I meant was, you have some NERVE coming here!" She turned her back not knowing whether to go back to her room or go on ahead to her original destination.
Draco put his hands on each side of her shoulder to turn her around. "I wasn't the one who kissed you in front of everyone. That was not my fault."
"Maybe but everything happened because of you. If you didn't tell Harry then maybe." She couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She wanted a brave front but it was just impossible.
"What's done is done. We can't do anything to change that. I admit, I was jealous of Potter. You were giving him all of that attention."
"What attention? I was having a hard time catching up with my friends, with everything that's happened. The extra classes, Prefect duties, and then there was you!"
Draco felt guilt for being a burden to her. "I'm sorry. Dumbledore shouldn't have interfered. He should've just let us be. I'm sorry." Draco looked down unable to see her eye to eye.
Hermione saw the pain in his face similar to what she saw at the lake and at Dumbledore's office. She pitied him. All her anger faded. She didn't see the arrogant prat, instead she saw a very lonely boy. She forgot her head as she followed her feelings. "It wasn't just Dumbledore you know."
"Yeah, you also pitied me." He said still staring at his shoes.
"Of course not!" She lied. She knew that was the last thing he wanted to hear. "I wanted to get to know you because I thought you've changed. We haven't really talked about your." She fell silent. She didn't think she had the right to talk about her.
"It's ok. I've accepted her death now."
"Are you sure? I mean, if it was me, I'd take a lot more time coping with it."
"There were things that made it easier." Draco stared into her eyes. Her eyes weren't the same eyes that caught his attention before. Her eyes weren't glimmering anymore. They looked dull because of the tears that she had shed. "Everything became clear to me."
Hermione had a feeling that she knew his next words. She wanted to stop him. "I. I was. um." Her attempts were futile.
"Everything became clear, the moment you came to the lake leaving all your prejudices aside." He stepped closer.
Hermione had trouble breathing. All she could think about was how close his lips were. If everything had been simple, she'd have kissed him. She stepped back trying to escape. She found this hard to do since his hands were on her shoulders. She was left to stare at his innocent eyes.
Draco looked deep into her eyes as trying to take a look at her soul. There was a time when he was given a time, he'd jump on the opportunity and kiss her thoroughly. Unfortunately, or fortunately depends on which side your looking, this wasn't that time. He could see the pain that he caused her and he just wanted to erase/take away her pain. If there was a spell that could take her pain even if he was to carry it he'd use it. He was now falling in love with her, not just because of her good times but also her lonely times. He felt he understands what she's going through right now. He couldn't bear to think that they were both in pain.
He leaned forward trying to memorize everything about her. Her smell was devastatingly sweet. 'Lilacs. She likes Lilacs.' He was drugged by the scent of her. His face moved closer. He couldn't stop himself, he wanted to taste her.
Hermione couldn't think. She didn't think. For once, all that mattered was that she wanted badly for him to kiss her. When he was close like this, her senses became altered. She didn't know what was right or wrong anymore. She just wants to feel him. She closed her eyes as his face drew nearer. She waited for the same sensation that she felt before to come back again. She felt his lips touch hers. She was shocked. He kissed her lightly, softly. It was not the same kisses that he gave her before. His lips moved slowly as it calmed her nerves. It was very soothing indeed. She found herself liking it. 'I remember this feeling.' When she realized when this feeling first occurred, she stopped responding. 'Harry in Hogsmeade. Harry.'
Draco took it as his signal to stop. He looked at her tenderly. Her eyes were closed and tears started streaming down her face. He stepped back. He figured the more distance the better. "I'm sorry."
Hermione shook her head, "No, I'm sorry. You wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me."
"What are you talking about? I like the change you've made in me."
"It's not that, I just thought if I didn't kissed you before, you wouldn't even think of having a chance with me."
"That was not your fault, someone would say I forced myself into you."
"But."
"Your only fault is your personality. If you were different, I would've considered you as just one of the girls. You were different from them. It took me a long time before I realized what you really are. I'd be damned, if I were Potter or Weasley, I'd have seen that earlier."
Hermione's heart fluttered at his words. She has never heard anything more beautiful.
"I've accepted the fact that I'll never have a chance with you as long as Potter is around so I concede. Believe it or not I want you to be happy. At first I thought I was the only one that can make you happy but I was wrong. As it turns out I was the one that caused you pain."
"I ask for another chance."
"A chance at what," Hermione found her tongue again.
"I have betrayed your trust as a friend, all I ask is that you'd give me a chance to undo what I have done."
"It's going to be hard to trust you again, with what you've done."
"I know but I'll take a chance, no matter how slim."
"What would your father say?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. He killed my mother. I'm not following his orders anymore. He won't be pleased, but I don't care."
She gave him a weak smile.
Draco heard a grumbling sound, "What was that?"
"That was my stomach." She said sheepishly.
"Right, you haven't eaten all day."
"I was going to head to the kitchen when I saw you."
"Come on then, I'd accompany you."
"It's ok, you wouldn't want to get caught."
"With you? It doesn't matter. I told you I just want to be your friend."
"Fine, I might need some company." She took his hand as she led him to the kitchen.
When they reached the kitchen, there were a lot of house elves giving them dirty eyes. It seemed like Dobby was the only one pleased. He served them until she felt contented. Dobby heard what happened with Harry and Hermione but he wasn't that upset with her. She did leave hats all over the Gryffindor tower.
Hermione for the first time that day or what's left of it felt happy. She and Draco were discussing about fun times of both houses. She realized that this was the one of the few times she had a decent conversation with him.
After the snack, they headed towards the Room of Requirement. Draco was assisting her with lessons she missed. When the sun rose and it was time for breakfast, Draco coaxed her into coming to the Great Hall.
"You must be kidding, I won't seat there. Every eyes will be on me."
"I don't want you skipping meals. Besides, you'd have to face them anyway sooner or later. I thought Gryffindors were supposed to be brave."
"Fine!"
~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Ron were already at the Great Hall. Harry didn't feel like eating either yesterday. Ron forced him to eat. They were one of the first to take their breakfast. Harry wanted to avoid Hermione every chance possible. When Hermione and Draco went inside the Hall, every eyes were either looking at her or Harry.
Harry felt like puking. He wanted to lash Malfoy.
Ron was also thinking of coming after Malfoy but considered Hermione instead. 'He's the only one that got through her.' "She hasn't eaten the whole day yesterday, she's got right to eat too you know. Besides she's got every eyes focused on her, judging her. I think that's punishment enough."
"Whatever."
~~~~~~~~~~
Draco and Hermione went straight to the Prefect table. They ate silently. Hermione saw the angry looks in Harry and Ron's eyes. She lost her appetite quickly and couldn't eat. She wanted badly to be with them, to talk to them, to ask their forgiveness. Harry hated her and she couldn't bear the idea.
~~~~~~~~~~
Harry was feeling just as miserably. He flirted with Ginny out of spite. He wanted to hurt her but he ended up hurting himself. He couldn't bear looking at her with Malfoy. He got up and left the room. The moment he stood up, everyone stopped what they were doing and watched him eager to know what he was going to do. They felt disappointed when he left the hall, they expected some action.
Hermione got up and rushed to follow Harry. This made Draco stand up to follow her. Ron did the same. He didn't want any more surprises coming from him.
Hermione made it past the doors but Draco was stopped by Ron and some of his fellow Gryffindors.
"Where do you think your going Malfoy?"
"Step out of the way Weasley."
Ron didn't back down.
"Move now!"
"You're not going after her."
"Try and stop me!"
"Is there a problem Mr. Malfoy?" Snape had come to his side.
"I forgot something and I thought I would get it."
"Very well, Mr. Weasley, let him pass."
Ron glared at Malfoy as he stepped back.
Draco didn't see where she went. He wandered aimlessly around the castle trying to think where she could be. Then he saw a group of students near McGonagall's classroom. He went closer to try to find out what was going on. When the crowd parted for him, his eyes widen. Hermione and Potter were locked in a tight embrace kissing each other passionately. He felt his heart broke into pieces. To add insult to injury, Ron caught his eyes and smiled smugly at him.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Harry, please wait!" Hermione screamed at him.
Harry stopped, he did not know what to say or do. He just wanted to hear her voice again. Who would've thought that he'd miss her bossy ways.
"Harry, let me explain."
"So there is an explanation to all of this?" His voice resounded through the halls.
"Yes." She said hopefully.
"Then pray tell me!"
"Harry I think I'm falling in love with you."
"Oh, so that's why you keep on kissing Malfoy."
"Harry, listen." She persuaded him to look at her. "I felt foolish, hurt and jealous looking at you and Ginny. I didn't think. I just wanted to cause you pain for causing me pain."
"I still don't get the part about you falling in love with me."
"I admit, Draco and I."
"So it's Draco now eh!"
"JUST listen please. I admit, I kissed him but it was only experimental. Those kisses were empty of feelings. I know this because when we kissed in Hogsmeade, I felt sensations I've never felt with anybody or at least Draco. I have acted out of spite and you should know that nothing good comes out from spite."
"Harry, I only said friendship is the only thing I can offer because Dumbledore asked me to befriend him. Draco didn't want to if you and I were a couple so I."
"I heard." **remember Harry eavesdropping on her.
"Harry, I've been praying so long for our relationship to go deeper. I've made mistakes, everybody does. If I wanted before to be your girlfriend, all I ask you of now is for the same friendship we had before this whole thing happened."
Harry was absorbing everything she's said. He knew nobody's perfect even her. It seemed like it doesn't matter anymore what she did. What mattered to him is the fact that Hermione wanted to be his girlfriend.
"Harry?" She noticed that a lot of people gathered around them. She saw Ron at one side. He gave a thumbs up at her. She was glad that Ron wasn't mad at her.
"I don't want to go back the way were before."
"Oh." She barely said the words. She could feel tears swelling in her eyes.
"I think its such a hassle trying to forget how we feel towards each other. Like you, I want a deeper relationship, that is if you want to."
Hermione's tears fell as she smiled at him. She ran to him and enclosed him in an embrace.
"I love you Hermione for a long time now."
Hermione nodded unable to speak. She drew her face forward and kissed him passionately. She already knew how thanks to Draco.
When she broke the kiss she saw Draco. She smiled at him.
Draco went towards them. He held out his hand to Harry, "Congratulations."
Harry raised his eyebrow.
When Harry didn't take her hand he left it dangling at his side. "Keep her happy, she deserves it."
Harry's eyes were twitching.
Draco faced Hermione and took her hand and kissed it. "Be happy."
