A/N: We still haven't posted Chapter 4 but we're working on it (lol). We're soooo proud of that chapter!!! It's our favorite. We're learning a new language… Romanian!! There's this guy who's working for Blackpearl07's dad and yeah he's from Romania and he's talking on the phone. Not that we understand what he's saying or anything but hey we're still learning, right? Right. Well, we're listening to Jessica Simpson hoping for some inspiration. So on with the chapter!

Chapter 5- Midnight Ride

Hermione and Draco walked back to the castle, both deep in their own thoughts.

Wow. Who knew Draco was such a good kisser? Harry never kissed me like that. Wait…wait…Harry…I'm still going out with Harry! Hermione's eyes widened in horror after she realized this.

Draco noticed and grabbed her hand so that she would stop and talk to him. Hermione looked down at their hands and felt even more guilty.

Draco didn't even have to say the words because the expression on his face was enough, "No, Draco. I have a boyfriend and I'm going to be faithful to him."

He looked right at her then, making Hermione feel like he could see right through her and said, "But what are we going to do about us?"

"Draco, don't you see what I'm trying to tell you?" Hermione paused for effect, "There is no us. I have Harry. I love Harry and Harry loves me."

"You don't love him. I could tell when I looked in your eyes. It was love when you looked at me. I've never felt any emotions like I do when I'm with you. At home, I never get any love. But Hermione there's just something you do to me and I know you feel it too. It's like you put this spell on me but it's not one I'd ever find in a book."

"I will admit that I felt something for you this afternoon but we have to stop before we get too involved."

"I'm already involved," Draco whispered in Hermione's ear.

"So am I… with someone else," Hermione said and turned to walk away. Truthfully, if she would have stayed a moment longer, Draco would have seen her cry.

Draco sighed and walked back to the castle a few minutes after Hermione left.

Hermione found Harry and Ron in the Great Hall eating dessert.

"Where have you been?" Ron asked curiously.

"Oh, nowhere. Just walking around by the lake," Hermione answered, not really lying.

"Oh ok. Sounds like fun," Harry said as she sat down next to him.

"Yeah, tons," Hermione answered sarcastically and continued to watch her friends eat.

"Aren't you hungry, Mione?" Ron asked incredulously. He knew Hermione always wanted to get her three meals a day.

"No, not really," Hermione had lost her appetite.

She glanced towards the Slytherin table and noticed that Draco wasn't there. Hermione excused herself to go to bed. She figured that after some sleep she would feel better.

After walking into her dorm, she changed into her pajamas, and tried to go to sleep although she was wide awake. All these thoughts kept swarming in her head. Do I still love Harry? Of course I do but when was the last time he kissed me like Draco did? Or poured out his feelings like Draco did? Wait… why am I even comparing Harry to Draco. That's not possible. Harry has been my best friend for years. My best best friend. Not really boyfriend material. This might even ruin our friendship. Draco is- Hermione was cut off by a tapping on her window. At first, she thought it was an owl and continued to lie in her bed trying to go to sleep. The tapping persisted and Hermione began to get annoyed so she started to get up to let the owl in. As she got closer to the window, she realized it wasn't an owl but a certain blonde haired Slytherin on a Nimbus 2005. (We made it up… the broom I mean.)

She opened her window and didn't say a word because Draco immediately put his fingers on her lips to shush her and said, "Come on a ride with me."

"Draco, I have a huge fear of heights. That's why I don't even have my own broom."

"Do you trust me?"

If it's coming over you

Like it's coming over me

Crashing like a tidal wave

That drags me out to sea

And I wanna be with you

If you wanna be with me

I'm crashing like a tidal wave

And I don't wanna be

Stranded, stranded, stranded, stranded

"Well… I… um…"

"Seriously, I won't go very fast. Just come with me."

"Um… ok," Hermione was scared that she would regret this later but decided to trust him.

She got on the back of his broom and slipped her hands around his waist.

"You ready?"

"Oh, gosh Draco you make it sound like a bad thing."

"Don't worry about it. You're going to have fun."

He flew around the Quidditch Pitch for a little while just enjoying the feel of her hands around his waist. Draco was getting bored because he was going really slowly for Hermione. He began to speed up going a little bit higher.

"No, wait, stop. Let me off of this thing," Hermione didn't like how far away from the ground she was now.

"Just keep holding on. You'll be fine," Draco said and felt her arms tightening around his waist.

"Ok, whatever. Just don't do that thing where you flip over."

"Oh. A barrel roll?"

"Yeah."

Draco smiled evilly as he got an idea. He flipped the broom all the way around, Hermione screaming the whole time. (A/N: Let's pretend Draco put a silencing charm on the Quidditch Pitch before they started flying.)

"How was that?" Draco asked still smiling.

Hermione's screams turned to fits of laughter, "Scary!"

Draco laughed too, just happy to be with her. Quickly glancing at his watch, he realized lights out was an hour ago and he needed to return Hermione to her dorm.

"We need to be getting back. Lights out was an hour ago," Draco told Hermione.

"Oh my gosh. It was," Hermione replied.

They quickly flew to her dorm room window, where luckily everyone else was sleeping, so he dropped her off. Still sitting on his broom Draco looked Hermione in the eye and said, "Maybe we can hang out again tomorrow."

Hermione didn't hesitate with her response, "I'd like that."

"Great. See you tomorrow, Hermione," Draco said trying to contain his excitement but failed when he gave her a short, sweet kiss on the lips.

"Alright. See you tomorrow, Draco," Hermione kissed him back and he flew off.

Hermione walked back to bed with a goofy smile on her face. After she had gotten comfortable in bed, a voice beside her said, "I saw that. Wait till Harry hears about this."
