I don't own anything but the plot of this story so don't sue me
Draco's POV
I sighed as I fell back onto my bed and shut my eyes reviewing all that had happened that day. I fell asleep thinking about the kiss and awoke at 9. I groaned and then rolled over. I slowly got out of bed and shuffled downstairs and into the empty bathroom. I slowly stepped into the shower letting the streaming water wash away my thoughts of her touch but only for a second. I stepped out of the shower and changed into a white sleeved long shirt with rolled up sleeves and some black pants. I sighed and sat down on my window seat and started to read my book. About an hour later a very sleepy looking Hermione came out of the shower and fell back onto her couch.
"Morning," I said quietly looking up from my book to she her in her usual pleated short shirk and tight white shirt and tie. I loved her hair it always fanned out about her.
"Morning," she said yawning.
"What are you reading?" she asked in her bookworm tone as she walked over to me.
"My all time favorite Hogwarts a History," I replied showing her the cover. She suddenly brightened and sat down next to me.
"Really?! That's my favorite too! I think it's fascinating," she said grinning.
"What chapter are you on?" she asked scooting closer and looking down at the book.
"The four founders," I replied putting half of the book on her lap.
"Oh I love that chapter!" she said smiling.
"Me too. If you want.you could read with me," I asked shyly. She nodded and scooted closer as we both got absorbed into the book's pages. Hours later we both fell back as we finished the last page.
"That's got to be my 20th time," she said with a sigh.
"You always were a bookworm," I replied laughing. I sat up and glanced at the clock above the fireplace, 12.
"We missed breakfast.lunch should be starting soon," I said standing up and stretching.
"Wow," she said standing up.
"I guess I should be going. I'll see you later," she said walking out of the common room. I sat down onto my couch. Do I really like her? It was only a kiss. but a damn good one, I thought with a sigh. I quickly pushed her out of my mind as Blaise walked into the common room.
"Hey," he said sitting down across from me.
"You two missed breakfast.were you fraternizing with the enemy?" he asked laughing.
"No." I said slowly, "Not really." His eyebrows rose in surprise.
"What did you do?" he asked grinning. I paused and then said quietly,
"Well.we kissed."
"YOU KISSED HER?" he exclaimed grinning.
"I knew it.me and Ginny said it would take 2 weeks at the most and you two would be together," he said smiling.
"Well we aren't together," I said with a sigh.
"Well do you like the girl?" he asked simply. I paused that's what I didn't know.
"I don't know," I said uncomfortably. This was the first thing in my whole entire life that I was undecided about and it drove me crazy.
"Well you two kissed didn't you?"
"Yeah.but that was just a kiss."
"I can't help you on this on mate. You have to decide if you like her or not but I got to tell you Gryffindors girls are very nice girlfriends," he said grinning. I laughed.
"I'm starving let's go down and get some lunch," I said as we got up. He sighed and followed me out of the common room. We talked about Quidditch all the way there and through lunch. I couldn't help it every other second my gaze landed on a certain Gryffindor. She seemed to draw my attention like a magnet.
"Hey Draco.earth to Draco." said Blaise waving his hand in front of my face. I quickly snapped out of my gaze and looked down at my grinning friend.
"You've got it bad mate," he said shaking his head.
"No I don't," I said quickly.
"Then why do you keep on starring at her?" he asked already knowing the answer. I didn't want to admit it but he was right. I grinned and was about to say something when Pansy came up.
"Hi Drakie," she said sitting down in my lap and putting her arms around my neck.
"Pansy get off," I said coldly as I pushed her off my lap.
"Drakie.don't you love me?" she asked in a hurt voice.
"No," I said looking at her with disgust. She burst into tears and ran out of the Great Hall. I shrugged and continued eating as Blaise pestered me about Hermione.
"ALRIGHT!" I exclaimed putting down my fork.
"I admit it I like her,' I said so only he could hear.
"YES! I knew it!" he said with a grin.
"Know the question is.does she like you back?" he asked as both of our eyes landed on two Gryffindor girls talking.
Hermione's POV
"HE KISSED YOU?!" she practically yelled drawing many people's attentions including Harry and Ron's.
"Shh." I said putting a hand over her mouth.
"Sorry! Well.are you guys together?" she asked anxious for my answer.
"No," I replied quietly looking down at my plate. I suddenly shivered as I remembered his soft touch.
"And why not?!" she asked looking distressed. I shrugged and looked up from my plate as my gaze landed on a blonde Slytherin. Our eyes locked for a second but then I suddenly broke away.
"Well do you like him?" she asked looking over at the Slytherin table.
"I don't know." I said with a sigh. To my great annoyance for the rest of the meal she kept on pestering me about him and my eyes always fell on him. I sighed as we finally got up. She suddenly pinned me against the wall right before I could get out of the door. I looked over her shoulder to see an amused Blaise and Draco. I looked back down at Ginny who was looking at me determinedly.
"I'm not going to let you go until you tell me! Usually friends don't have to force it, but I will," she said pulling out her wand. My eyes flashed with amusement. She was very brave but I was a lot quicker with wands and not to mention about 3 inches taller. She pointed her wand at my stomach. I threw up my arms with a laugh and replied,
"ALRIGHT! So I like him."
She pulled her wand away and grinned.
"I knew it," she said smiling as we walked down the hallway and out onto the grounds.
We both walked into the stables and picked our horses. I chose the one Draco had last time.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked uneasily as we rode out of the barn.
"Don't worry Ginny! It'll be fine," I replied grinning as I patted my horse. We decided to only go around the lake about across a bridge instead of going through the forest trail. As we pasted my favorite tree laughing we noticed that Draco and Blaise were leaning against the trunk and talking. Blaise grinned as he noticed us and walked over.
"Well hello ladies," he said smiling.
"Hey," said Ginny laughing.
"Hi boys," I replied grinning.
"What might I ask are you doing on a horse? Don't you remember last time?" ask Draco as he walked up to us. My eyebrows rose and I crossed my arms stubbornly.
"That is not going to stop me from riding," I said stubbornly. He grinned and walked up to my horse and pat it's mane.
"Well I guess I don't have to worry to much seeing as you picked a very sane horse," he said looking up at me and smiling. I blushed and smiled.
"Would you guys like to join us?" asked Ginny looking at me and Draco with amusement.
"No sorry ladies we have Quidditch practice," replied Blaise with a sad look.
"Maybe next time," said Ginny as she gave Blaise a kiss. I rolled my eyes as Draco laughed.
"I guess we'll have to ride by ourselves," I said playfully with a sigh.
"We'll see you later," said Draco as and Blaise walked away.
"Bye," I said waving sadly. My gaze never left him as he walked back to the castle with Blaise.
"Let's face it 'Mione. two Slytherins have stolen our hearts," she said with a sigh as we turned our horses in the other direction. We rode in silence as I thought about what she had said. Was she right?
Draco's POV
Quidditch practice was normal the wind felt great and it was the only time of the day that I could forget her touch. I walked into the shower house next to the pitch and took a nice long shower and then changed. I smiled as I walked into the common room there she was reading with a smile on her face next to the fire. Her amber eyes seemed to glow with excitement as she read each word. Her brown hair flew about her and glowed. I grinned and sat next to her. She smiled and then it quickly faded into an awkward silence.
"Draco we need to talk about last night," she said quietly looking up into my eyes.
"I don't regret kissing you 'Mione," I admitted holding her gaze. Her eyes seemed to brighten.
"I don't either." she said smiling. I grinned and replied,
"Good." She smiled and then put her book down and crawled into my lap. I smiled as she leaned her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her as we sat there savoring each other's touch and looking into the glowing flames of the fire.
I awoke to see that we had fallen asleep on the couch and she was curled up next to me. I glanced around and saw to my surprise a very amused Ginny and Blaise watching us from the entrance from the common room. I grinned and shook my head as they came in. Hermione stirred and then looked up to see them. She quickly took in her surrounds and blushed.
"Morning you two," said Ginny smiling as she sat next to Blaise.
"Have a nice night?" asked Blaise with a grin.
"Quite," replied Hermione as she sat up and yawned.
