*~*~* Chapter Two: The Trouble with Kissing the Enemy *~*~*
When Hermione awoke the next morning, she had, unfortunately, remembered the events of the previous night. Or was it fortunate that she had? Either way she had convinced herself that it had all been a bad dream. a very bad dream. She grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower.
"Morning," Draco said from across the common room.
"Shut up," she replied.
"Oh. Am I that bad of a kisser to you? Cause no one else acted like this after I kissed them," he snapped.
"No. You're not a bad kisser. It's just that I was hoping it was a dream... No offense," she said. 'Did I just compliment him?' she thought.
"Oh," was all that he could say in return. She insulted him, and for the first time in his life, it actually hurt. "You know, I meant what I said last night - about liking you. I really do."
"Yeah, whatever," Hermione said as she closed the bathroom door. 'Yes! He likes me, he likes me! Woohoo!!!' she thought as she turned on three scented faucets.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At breakfast later that morning, she told Harry, Ron, and Ginny that the guy she likes had kissed her last night. Rot got red-faced and turned to fill his plates with more pancakes. He obviously still hadn't gotten over her.
"So, who kissed you?" Harry asked.
"If I tell you, you have to swear on your lives that you won't tell anyone. Okay?" she asked.
All three of her friends agreed.
"Um... You guys are going to die when you hear this... The guy who kissed me... Er... Malfoy," she said hesitantly. She trusted her friends, but she didn't feel comfortable saying this out loud.
Ron mumbled something about the library and quickly left the Great Hall.
"What! Did he do anything else because if he did I'll-"
"Harry, shut up!" Ginny interrupted. "Mione, you're so lucky! He's so hot!"
"Ginny! You're going out with Harry! And no, Dad, nothing else happened. I'm not a baby. I can take care of myself, you know," she retorted. "Harry, you should go. The Quidditch game starts in an hour! Good luck!"
"Thanks. See you later," Harry said.
"Bye! Ginny, will you help me find Ron? I feel so bad now. I didn't know he still liked me."
"I didn't either. And just because I'm going out with Harry doesn't mean I can't think someone else is hot."
"I know... I just had to stick up for him," Hermione said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ron? Are you okay" Hermione asked when she found him reading *gasp* in the library.
"Why do you care?" He snapped.
"Gees... I just wanted to apologize for being inconsiderate of your feelings at breakfast. And I wanted to know if you're coming to the game or not. It starts in fifteen minutes," she said.
"I don't know if I want to go anymore," he said gloomily.
"You know, Ron. Just because things didn't work out between us doesn't mean you can rag on me when I get kissed, even if he is your worst enemy," Hermione yelled, starting to get mad.
"I can't help if I still like you, okay? But how can you like him? He called you a Mudblood!" Ron shouted, as Madam Pince forced them to leave the library.
"You just said you can't help who you like, okay? I don't know why I like him. Now, you can come with me or not, but I'm leaving."
"I'm not going," he said.
"Fine!" she hollered as she walked down the hall.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Quidditch game was the first of the season. Harry, the captain, and his fellow Gryffindors were facing the Hufflepuffs. Gryffindor got off to a good start by scoring three quick goals, but it didn't last.
Hufflepuff answered by scoring eight goals, making the Gryffindor crowds grow quiet, but the Slytherin crowds grew loud. They wanted to see Potter's team lose. Malfoy, the captain, wanted to win the House Cup so bad, he was willing to do anything.
About an hour into the game, Harry spotted the Snitch. He followed it slowly, hoping that the Hufflepuff Seaker hadn't seen it. After following it for a couple minutes and making sure the other Seaker was across the pitch from him, he dove steeply and caught the Snitch. Gryffindor won the game 210 to 90.
Draco scowled in disgust at the conclusion of the game. Oh, how he despised Harry Potter. Slytherin would have to beat Gryffindor for sure.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back in the common room, Hermione was writing a letter to her mother. She told her about Draco kissing her and him possibly being a new boyfriend.
When Draco walked in, she smiled and said, "Hey. Good game, huh?"
"Yeah, sure... If you're in Gryffindor," he said.
"I'm sorry," Hermione said.
"For what?"
"For being a jerk earlier. I didn't mean to be..." she said.
"It's okay," he said, as he walked over to her and kissed her forehead. "I completely forgot about it." He kissed her lips and moved to her neck.
"AH HEM!" The noise came from Professor McGonagall, who was standing at the entrance to the common room. Draco stopped kissing Hermione and she whipped around with a look of horror on her face.
'Oh my God. This is so embarrassing,' Hermione thought.
~ AN ~ Okay... there's chapter two...Thanks to Delilah and Chrishall12488 for reviewing... I should have another chap up during the next couple of days... thanks again for reading!
