"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…

Chapter 22: Astronomy Tower-Part 1

The next day, Hermione woke up bright and early.

Her thoughts immediately to the previous morning.

I have a boyfriend…

The thought was weird to think about.

Hermione never had a boyfriend before.

Unless you counted Viktor…

But he was way older than her.

He didn't really seem like a boyfriend to her.

Oh well…

(A/N- hmmm… lol… it looks like I'm writing like my 2nd favourite author… Louis Sachar.

Interesting…)

Hermione took a shower and got dressed, putting on her school uniforms and letting her hair out as it's wavy streaked self. She applied some make-up and thought.

Okay… Think POSITIVE thoughts Hermione… nobody heard your little outburst except for Seamus and Ron… Only Seamus, Harry, and Ron er… and Draco, knows that I like him.

Hermione picked up her bag and headed out the door.

She went in the Common Room and saw Draco staring into the fire place.

Hermione took in a deep breath.

She started down the stairs.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Draco had heard her and turned around.

"Hey." He said.

"Hi." Hermione responded.

She looked down.

Hermione didn't know what to say.

Why was she all of a sudden nervous to be around him?

Oh yeah!

That's right!

He's her boyfriend.

She's never had a boyfriend before.

Unless you counted Viktor…

(A/N- I'm sorry to repeat it. Louis Sachar's style is in my head :-P)

Draco slipped his hand in hers.

Hermione looked up and smiled.

This is so awkward.

Together they began to leave their Common Room.

Wait.

Should they walk out seen?

Or pretend to still hate each other?

Ahh… no use.

They left their Common Room hand in hand.

Nobody was in the hall.

Okay, nobody will find out… yet… Wait… Why am I caring what people think? When have I ever?

Hermione sighed.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked.

"Nothing." Hermione responded too quickly.

"Thinking about what others would think or say… or anything similar?" He asked.

Hermione kept walking, silently.

"Yes." Draco answered for her.

Hermione looked away.

"Forget it. What's the worst they can do? Kill us?" Draco joked.

Hermione looked at him. A questioning look in her face.

"Yes. At least my friends could go as far as that." Hermione answered.

Draco looked at her oddly.

"Your friends would go so far as to try and KILL us?" Draco asked.

"Well…" Hermione trailed off.

"What great friends you've got." Draco said.

"Well… I mean… They wouldn't kill anyone… they'd just… attempt it… or just… try to hurt

people… er… badly." Hermione explained in a way.

"No doubt that its possible they'd succeed in actually killing someone." Draco mumbled.

"Yeah… I guess." Hermione said.

They had reached the Charms classroom.

Draco embraced Hermione, then opened the door for her.

She thanked him and went through.

Draco following her lead.

+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+

Hermione, Harry, and Ron were walking out of the Charms class which has just ended.

"Okay, how about after dinner lets meet up at the Astronomy Tower and practice the Charms up there. If we make a mistake, there wont be any good furniture or anything to mess up." Harry suggested.

"Okay." "Alright." Hermione and Ron agreed.

"Let's go Ron!" Harry said. "Divination is going to start in 2 minutes."

"Why are you in a rush to go there?" Ron asked.

"Err… I dunno." Harry answered.

So Harry and Ron began to walk slowly to their next class.

Hermione rolled her eyes at the pointless conversation between her best friends.

She began to rush to her Muggle Studies class as someone stepped in front of her.

"Ahh!" Hermione said crashing into them.

The person grabbed Hermione so she didn't fall and let go.

"Hey." Draco said.

"Hi… Uh… Why did you just step in front of me like that?" Hermione asked.

"I had called your name several times, but you didn't answer. So I guessed that you were either deep in thought or you just couldn't hear me." Draco answered.

"Oh. I see." Hermione said.

"Here." Draco said handing her a small folded piece of parchment. "Got to go." And he rushed out to his next class.

Hermione stood still looking at the folded parchment.

Class!

Hermione looked at her watch.

It's about to start!

Hermione began to run to her class.

When she got there, only the students were scattered around the classroom.

No teacher.

Hermione sighed in relief, and took her seat.

A minute later, her teacher stepped in, and her class had begun.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

Lunch came and went.

Classes came and went… (At least for Hermione)

Soon enough it was dinner.

The Golden Trio walked over to their table and sat down.

Harry and Ron next to each other, and Ron next to Hermione.

Hermione remembered the note.

Where did I put it?

Hermione began to search her robes.

Then she searched her skirt pockets.

She found it.

Whew.

She looked around to make sure nobody was watching her.

Harry and Ron were talking about Quidditch [as usual], and Lavender and Parvati were talking about boys.

Alright. Safe to open it.

Hermione slowly unfolded the parchment and the letter read:

Hermione,

Meet me up at the Astronomy Tower about 5-10 minutes before dinner ends.

Draco

Okay, Hermione thought, Whatever he has to say won't take long. He'll be out before Ron and Harry come up.

Hermione looked up from the note while folding it and spotted Draco staring at her.

Hermione nodded.

Draco smiled at her.

"Hermione, can you explain to Ron what a CD Player is?" Harry asked.

"Huh?" Hermione said, taking her eyes off of Draco.

"I said, can you tell Ron what a CD Player is?" Harry repeated.

"Well it's…-" Hermione explained to Ron what the CD Player was.

Ron was fascinated and said he'd write to his dad about it.

"How did your subject go from Quidditch to a CD Player?" Hermione asked.

"Well… We somehow started talking about different Wizard and Witch singers, and I just said 'too bad that they don't put their songs on CD's'… and it went off from there."

"Oh. Okay." Hermione said.

Hermione turned back to her plate and began to eat.

Hermione had finished her food, and checked her watch for the 46th time.

(A/N- Let's pretend that dinner ends at 7.)

It was 6:40.

Hermione got up from her seat and began to walk out of The Great Hall.

Hmm… I have a few minutes to run up to my room and change.

Hermione decided to do just that.

She ran to her room, took a short shower, changed into her bell bottoms, and a pink long sleeved shirt with a Hello Kitty face on the front.

Hermione put on some pink tinted lip-gloss, and put her hair into two pigtails.

She grabbed her wand and ran out of the room.

Hermione glanced at her watch again.

6:54!

She rushed up the stairs and finally was in front of the Astronomy Tower stairs section.

She walked up the stairs at a normal pace and heard some people talking.

"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice said.

"None of your business. Why are you here?" Another voice asked.

"Like I would tell you." The first voice said.

"You better." The 2nd voice said.

"Excuse me?" The 1st voice said.

Hermione stood still and silent trying to listen in on the conversation.

Someone slammed into a wall.

"Chill!" A new voice yelled.

Hermione decided to peek around the stairs.

Nobody was there.

They must've been in the actual room.

The door was cracked open.

Hermione silently went up the stairs a little more and listened, standing still again.

"Why so violent? There's nothing to fight about now… Weasley." A voice drawled.

A/N- I would've kept going on… but… I wanted a sorta cliffy somewhere! I'm working on the next chapter right after I'm done with this A/N… I don't want to lose my ideas. Hope you liked this chapter! It was 8 pages long (Yay! Improved!) and 1680 words long.
