Movin' On U-up… Err… Movin' On Baa-aack:
"I'll read." Hermione suggested.
Harry bit his lip. "I suppose…… Just… Whatever you do… try not to worry about it."
"Alright."
"Ok. Well… I'll tell the Professor's you were feeling sick."
"Okay. Thanks." Hermione said smiling.
"No problem." Harry said opening the portrait.
He stepped out, poked his head back in and said "Remember… don't think about it!"
Winked and left, closing the portrait door behind him.
Hermione walked over to her bed and picked up 'Hogwarts, A History' , sat down and began to read.

Chapter 21: Truth Fest
As soon as Harry was out of earshot, Hermione set the book down on her night table.
Hermione sighed.
Why me? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? I am going to be so dead. If any other Gryffindors heard, they'd try to kill me… except for Lavender and Parvati… Boy crazy girls… If Slytherins heard… they'd tease me! I dunno about the Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaw… but… Oh, this is so messed up!
Hermione sighed once again and just stared at her book.
Suddenly Hermione had a feeling.
A strange feeling.
She felt… She felt like someone else was there.
Hermione walked slowly out of her room.
She gently closed the door behind her.
Hermione leaned over the railing into the Common Room and saw someone sitting on the couch.
Hermione tiptoed down the stairs and snuck up behind the couch.
She leaned over the top and looked down.
The person disappeared!
Hermione looked at the empty space where the person use to be.
Hmm…… Ahh-
"AHHH!"
Someone grabbed her around the waist and covered her mouth.
"Stop screaming." The person said then let Hermione go.
Hermione turned around.
And was relieved to see…
"Draco. You scared me!" Hermione said.
"Yah… well… what were you doing trying to sneak up behind me?" Draco said.
"Well, I had this feeling, and I came out, saw the top of your head and wanted to know who you were, to make sure you weren't an intruder or something like-"
"Okay! Okay!" Draco said, stopping Hermione from blabbing on.
"Right. So, why are you still here? It's midway through breakfast."
"Because… I am… sick? Sick! Because I'm sick." Cough. Cough. Draco said, adding on a little fake cough.
"Oh riiiiiiiiight. Why are you still here?" Hermione repeated.
"I just told you-" Draco started.
"-A big lie. Honestly, I'm not that ignorant. Tell me the truth."
"I was sort of… passing your door… and I heard you say you were staying in… so… I guess… I decided I want to stay in too." Draco said.
"Right." Hermione answered.
"Well… there's nothing to do… no (thank god) homework…" Draco said.
"Yeah… What an exciting way to start out the day…" Hermione trailed off.
"What to do… What to do…"
Hermione just stared at Draco as he thought.
"Ah ha!"
Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"What?" She asked.
"Truth Fest!" Draco said.
"What?"
"A Truth Fest! Let's have a Truth Fest!" Draco exclaimed.
"Meaning… what exactly…?" Hermione asked.
"You know… The whole… drink a truth potion, ask questions, blah dee blah dee blah sort of thing." Draco explained.
"Oh. Okay, then. But we don't seem to have a truth potion." Hermione reasoned.
"Not so fast. I have some stored up in my room. Hold on." Draco ran up the stairs to his dorm.
Hermione went over to the couch and sat down waiting for Draco to come back.
Okay, what's up here? Something wrong with this picture? Yes! Where's this sudden idea coming from… (A/N- *cough* Snakeyes *cough*) He's going to do something… He's got something planned for this… What question could he probably have that he can't just ask me? Or… maybe he would, but, he just wants to make sure I'm telling the truth. Ah well…
By that time, Draco came down the stairs holding a bottled potion in his hands.
He sat by Hermione and put the glass on the table in front of them.
Draco muttered a spell twirling his wand around, and two glasses appeared on the table.
Draco faced Hermione and smiled.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yes." Hermione said promptly.
"Okay."
He took the bottle and poor the equal to two gulps in each glass.
Hermione and Draco picked up their glasses.
Hermione uneasily looked at hers.
"Bottoms up." Draco said.
They both drank a gulp full, and set the glasses down on the table.
They looked at each other.
"Well? Who first?" Hermione asked.
"Doesn't matter. Would you like to question me first? Or me question you?" Draco asked.
"I dunno. I don't care." Hermione said.
"Alright. You can go first." Draco told her.
"Okay… Oh, I dunno what to ask you… Uhm… Who do you dislike?" Hermione asked.
"Crabbe and Goyle. Their just to goofballs who'd do anything, and overeat." Draco answered.
(A/N- Okay, I'm changing what I did the first time we had the Truth Potion. Now, I'm going to make them conscious of what their saying after they say it.)
"Oh come on Hermione. You are allowed to ask personal questions." Draco said laughing at the last part.
"Uhm… I really don't know what to ask you. Oh… How about this… What's on your mind right now?"
"Hermione. How beautiful Hermione is, how sweet she smells, her personality, and how she always looks so nice… I could go on forever." Draco said dreamily.
Hermione blushed a dark right.
Draco smirked.
"Why the red face?" He smiled.
Hermione looked away.
"I'm done questioning you for now."
"Alright then… My turn!… Hmmm… What shall I ask you? Do you remember when I told you that I loved you, at the ball?" Draco began.
"Yes." Hermione answered.
"I know you like me. But I want to know if you feel the same way. Hermione, do you love me?" Draco asked.
(A/N- I was WAY tempted to stop here. And I mean… WAY tempted. But, people probably would've been mad… so I'll continue.)
There was a silent pause.
"I do." Hermione answered.
When she realized what she said, she blushed a darker redish than before and looked away.
Draco's mouth turned into a smirk verrrryyyyy slowly.
"So, you do love me?" Draco asked rhetorically.
Hermione covered her face.
"Well, well, well. I don't need this potion to ask you this part." Draco said. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Silence.
"Her-?"
"Yes." Hermione answered.
Draco smiled.
Hermione smiled too, still blushing.
Draco leaned over to Hermione and kissed her cheek.
"My goal here is done." Draco said swiftly leaving the Common Room.
"Is THAT why you wanted a little Truth Fest, as you call it." Hermione said.
"Exactly." Draco continued up the stairs to his dorm.
What a year this'll be…
