Kissing a Green and Silver Serpent
Chapter IV: Enchanted by His Eyes
Hermione awoke to find another owl waiting for her; she saw it was written with the same handwriting as the other two, quickly she took it from the owl and tear the envelop open.
If the universe lost all its stars/
And the rainbow all it's beauty./
The flowers its perfume and color/
My sadness wouldn't be as such/
As if I found out you'll never love me/
As much as I love you.
She new it was kind of twee, but she couldn't stop her heart to beat faster than it normally did, neither could she help a smile to form on her lips when she finished reading. This was very confusing, and dangerous if it was all a joke. dangerous because a part of her was starting to wish she new who her "secret admirer" was.
She tried hard not to think about all this because Harry and Ron would start asking awkward questions again, although she could always say she was worried about her private lessons with Malfoy, but anyway. she had underestimated her best friends and it had been a mistake, so she wouldn't do it again.
She arrived at the great hall to find both of them talking about quiditch and just in time to receive her Daily Prophet. She was grateful towards her secret admirer for not sending his letters during breakfast; it would have been extremely hard to invent a sender, she just couldn't tell them who the letters were from.
"What kept you?" Asked Ron as he saw Hermione
"Oh, I just wanted to lay down a bit more today" She had prepared herself for this kind of questions
"You know, you've been acting oddly lately. I think Harry and I are a bad influence to you"
"I've been thinking it ever since I first met you. but I love you two too much to leave now"
Ron, for some reason, blushed scarlet and open his mouth as to answer something, but though better of it and close it quickly, the color on his face becoming more pronounced. Hermione found this very strange as he always had a retaliation ready, and for a moment considered that the reason for Ron's face to match his hair was the fact that she had said "love"... But it didn't make any sense, surely they knew how much she cared about them, what they meant for her. So she shifted aside these thoughts and concentrated on having some breakfast, this was going to be another long day and she would need energy to face Malfoy.

The day disappeared in a puff of smoke, and sooner than she wanted too, she was walking towards the charm's class at five to five. Now she understood how Harry had felt when he had had occlumency lessons with Snape. She shouldn't have nagged him so much, this was awful.
She arrived to find that Malfoy was already there, not looking disgusted or angry or ready to shout an insult at her but sitting quietly, waiting for her, smiling yet again his charming smile.
"I don't know why you are smiling. The least thing I want is to be here with you" She said as rudely she could, trying to avoid the jolt her stomach had done when she saw him.
"Then why are you here?" He answered, was it sweetly?
"Because I told Professor Flitwick I would, of course I didn't know it would we you the one I had to teach... Of course, you wouldn't understand it, you know nothing about what keeping a promise means, you have no integrity"
OK, now she was freaked out. He hadn't reacted at her words, he just kept smiling. But the weird thing was that it wasn't a smirk, he didn't look as though he was making fun of her or trying to deceive her. In fact, it was one of the sincerest smiles she had seen, it extended to his grey eyes, which where exceptionally bright. She stopped her reasoning to look at him.
He was kind of handsome: his blond hair fell elegantly over his forehead, his grey eyes matched perfectly with his hair and had a beautiful shape, he had some cute freckles on his nose and of course, his smile.
She stood there, staring at him and only reacted when he grabbed his wand that had been laying on the desk and stood up; she moved to take hers but he stopped her, looking right into her eyes said
"Relax 'Mione, I won't heat you". She didn't know why, but she believed him. she was enchanted by his eyes. He flipped he wand and the lights grew dimmer, another flip and a slow tune started to fill the room. He extended his hand, inviting her to dance, always looking into her eyes. For a moment she was on the edge of taking it, but the moment she broke eye, as she lowered hey face towards his hand contact she seemed to come to her senses.
She couldn't believe herself. she run out of the room without saying a word. What had been all that about? Was she going mad? She had actually considered dancing with Malfoy?!?
"I need to lie down. For a loooooooong time" She told herself as she arrived in front of the picture of the fat lady "Toreus" She said and climbed through the hole. Harry and Ron weren't in the common room, perhaps they were in the library; she didn't care, the last thing she needed now was them asking what had happened. So she went straight to her room.
She tried to get to sleep right away, but the image of Malfoy wouldn't leave her mind, in her ears the sound of her voice calling her 'Mione. Something was rising inside her, and it wasn't hate or dislike, it was something very, very different.

"Well, I didn't expect my first attempt to work" thought Draco as he made his way to the dungeon where Slytherin common room was, "but it could had been worst".she hadn't accepted his invitation, but for a moment when their eyes met, he was sure she had felt something similar to what he felt... "It's only a matter of time.What I have to do now is to write a letter"

A/N: There you go, feelings rising. people exposing themselves in various ways.. You tell me what you think of it. The ball is approaching, who will go with whom? What will happen then?... you'll have to wait to know. but also, you'll have to review. THANKS!
