Hermione looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Ginny sitting up in bed.
"No don't tell him" Hermione said quickly
"Why not?" Ginny asked
"Because I need to tell him, it will be better coming from me" Hermione told her.
"Well, if you don't tell him by tomorrow by dinner then I will tell him" Ginny warned.
Ginny lay back down in bed and closed her eyes, Hermione had a hard time sleeping that night. She had thoughts of what had just happened between her and Draco in her mind. She had never thought that Draco and herself would ever be friends let alone something more. Hermione finally fell asleep but it wasn't un- till late that night.
Hermione was shaken suddenly and she opened her eyes to a blinding sun light streaming through the windows. Which was accompanied by a little girl with red hair.
"Don't forget you have to tell him today!" Ginny reminded her and swept out of the room.
Hermione had almost forgotten about having to break the news to Harry, and thinking about it made her feel guilty. She struggled out of bed and took a quick shower then changed into her clothes and fixed her hair. Hermione walked down to the Great Hall and sat down next to Harry.
"Hey Mione" Harry greeted
"Morning" she replied quietly, Hermione got some toast and ate it in silence. She couldn't help but notice that Ginny kept staring at her, she knew that she couldn't wait for her to tell Harry. She distinctly saw Ginny mouth the words "Dinner time" and Ron noticed.
"What are you saying Ginny?" Ron asked from across the table.
"Oh nothing" Ginny said but she had a very devilish smile on her face.
The Trio finished their breakfast and headed for Transfiguration, with Professor McGonagall. Hermione was walking beside Ron and Harry when all of a sudden someone grabbed her and pulled her into the closet. She opened her mouth to say something but a hand covered her mouth. Whoever it was turned her around to face them and when they did she saw a tall boy with white blonde hair.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked quietly
"This" Draco said, and pulled her into a kiss, before they knew it they were having a make out session in the broom closet.
********************************Harry and Ron*******************************
"Where did Hermione go?" Harry asked
"I don't know she was right beside you" Ron replied puzzled. Then they heard a sound come from a door near by. They both looked at each other with quirked eyebrows and went to the door of the sound. When they got there it was the broom closet Harry opened the door and was mildly surprised at what he saw. Hermione and Draco both turned around quickly and Harry and Ron both looked shocked.
"It's not what you think!" Hermione exclaimed, but Harry didn't reply he simply stared for about 5 minutes and then walked away. Ron pulled Hermione out of the closet and grabbed Draco's collar.
"What ever you did to her, your going to pay for it!" Ron exclaimed
"No Ron don't!" Hermione said pulling him back.
"What are you doing Hermione, don't you want me to hurt him" Ron asked.
"No, what do you think he was doing?" she asked.
"Did you think I had her under the imperius curse or something?" Draco asked smiling.
"I don't know but I know she wouldn't just willingly kiss you" Ron said.
"Well that's not exactly true" Hermione said her face turning red.
"You mean to tell me that you actually like this guy?" Ron asked looking at her in disgust.
"Well……I'm afraid so" Hermione told him truthfully.
Ron looked from Hermione to Draco and back again a few times, then he started to walk away but stopped and said.
"I really thought you weren't like that Hermione" then he left to go to class.
"Don't worry about them Hermione they don't understand" Draco told her comfortingly.
Hermione nodded and went to class but she couldn't help but worry Harry and Ron completely ignored her even at lunch, then Draco came over and asked her to go out side with him. Hermione stood up and followed, she was walking beside him and he took her hand.
Hermiones POV
Draco's right they don't understand, I really like him and that's all that matters. But wait maybe I don't just like him, maybe if it's possible I'm actually in love with him. I wander if this is what it really feels like.
End POV
Hermione looked up at Draco and couldn't help but smile, he looked back at her.
"What are you smiling at?" Draco asked arrogantly
"oh nothing, just you" She replied
"Oh am I that good looking?" Draco asked
"Ha ha Draco" Hermione said giving him a light punch on the arm, but he caught her wrist and looked at her. Then with out warning he kissed her lightly and they just continued walking.
"What did you bring me out here for?" Hermione asked
"Well I have to ask you a favor" Draco answered
"ok what is it?" she asked
"well there's this slytherin dance tonight, and I can only take a slytherin girl" Draco started to explain. Hermione's face went form a smile to a frown.
"and well I don't know how to dance, can you teach me?" Draco asked looking a bit embarrassed.
"Well who are you taking?" Hermione asked
"Well I think Pansy, is that ok? I mean we're just going as friends" Draco said.
"Well yea I guess, we're just dating anyway" Hermione replied a bit jealously.
"ok so you don't mind then?" Draco asked
"No not at all" Hermione said again with Jealousy. So they spent the rest of their lunch dancing outside. Draco really needed the help he really couldn't dance. The rest of the day Hermione had to sit by Lavender and Parvati because it was clear the Ron and Harry didn't want to talk to her. After the day was over Hermione went to the common room and found Harry and Ron sitting on the couch.
"Harry can I talk to you, please?" Hermione asked pleadingly.
"yea, I think we need to" He answered, Ron went up to his room to elave them alone.
"Harry, listen, I know that you probably don't want to hear what I have to say but I really didn't mean for you to find out like this. But I really like him a lot and I just hope you can understand that" Hermione explained.
"well, I was pretty angry with you, at first, but I know that you wouldn't do anything to purposely hurt me. I just can't believe that you like, him, I mean Draco Malfoy for heaven's sake." Harry said
"I know I couldn't believe it at first either" Hermione admitted.
"but um, I'm really sorry about this" Hermione apologized.
"I know you are" Harry said understandingly.
"so, um, are we...ok?" Hermione asked hopefully
"Yea, we're ok" Harry replied with a slight smile, Hermione gave him a hug and watched him walk away. She knew that he understood, but she still felt bad, and knew that she had hurt him. Hermione walked out of the common room and went down to the Great Hall she felt so guilty she was almost on the verge of tears. When she turned the corner she ran right into Draco and he looked at her face and knew something was wrong.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice
"I just talked to Harry, and he said that he understands everything but I still feel really bad" Hermione explained.
"It's ok" Draco said and kissed Hermione on the head "I know something that will make you feel better, when that Slytherin dance starts you come down the lake ok?" Draco said
"Why?" Hermione asked
"don't ask why just do it" Draco instructed and left the room. So Hermione waited until 6:00 PM when the dance started and went down the lake. When she got there, there was a blanket on the ground. There was a picnic basket and 2 candles lit there was also a single red rose in a vase in the middle of the blanket. Draco was sitting across from the place that Hermione supposed she was going to sit.
"What about your dance?" Hermione asked automatically
"What you don't thank me for what I've done?" Draco asked
"I'm sorry yes, Draco, it's very sweet!" Hermione exclaimed and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"now that's better! Well I never planned on going to it anyway" Draco said
"Really?" Hermione asked surprised
"Yea, I've been planning this for a while" Draco told her. They ate until they thought that they would burst. Then Draco cleared off all the food and sat down on the blanket, he opened his legs and let Hermione lay on him (you guys get what we mean?) and they stared at the lake. The full moon reflected on the lake and the stars shone so brightly it was as if there were lanterns in the sky.
"so you just brought me here for dinner?" Hermione asked
"well, not there's something else I wanted to ask you" Draco admitted.
"ok what is it?" Hermione asked sitting across from him now.
"Well sine this is where we first kissed I thought it would be the best place to ask you if you would be my girlfriend." Draco admitted
"Yes, absolutely yes" Hermione answered, Draco pulled a box out of his robes and handed it to Hermione.
"What's this?" Hermione asked surprised
"Open it and find out" Draco said sexily
Hermione opened the box and saw a silver charm bracelet with one single charm. She picked it up and looked at it, it was a heart with the names Draco + Hermione were engraved on it. Hermione put her hand to her mouth took in a deep breathe and a tear went down her cheek.
"What, don't you like it?" Draco asked a little worried
"Yes that's why I'm crying" Hermione said
"Girls" Draco wiped the tear from her eye.
They sat there in silence for a minute until they heard a song come from the slytherin common room.
"Want to dance?" Draco asked with a sly smile on his face
"But we can barely make out what it's saying" Hermione pointed out.
"so come on" and he grabbed her hand and they started dancing to this song.
I remember you were laughing
We were so in love (we were so in love)
And the band played
Songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
Never understood the words
We just sang oh
La la la la la la la la la
And we danced anyway
The song ended and another one began, Hermione went to sit down but Draco stopped her.
"Where are you going?" He asked her
"The songs over" she said
"we're not done dancing yet, babe" Draco said and pulled Hermione to him. This song was playing.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All the while that Draco danced with Hermione he was studying her, memorizing every little piece of her. He couldn't help but think 'I love her, I know I do, wait I don't really know what that is'.
"Hermione what is love to you?" Draco asked
Hermione was caught completely off guard "well, um, love is when you can't stop thinking about the other person, love is when it takes all your strength to get that person out of your mind, why do you want to know?" she asked.
"Well, because I think I'm in love with you" Draco said truthfully.
"Why?" Hermione asked
"do you ever think of that night at the lake? I don't know your dad's first name, I don't know if you wore glasses or contacts. Listen I don't know how you came to like me, Hermione. But I know the curves of your face, I know every flake of gold in your eyes. I do know that night at the lake, was the best night I've ever had. And because I know you love me too." Draco said ( kind of stole that from the wedding planner! Great movie by the way!)
Hermione stood there speechless, just staring up at him not saying a word, she tried to speak but the words just wouldn't come.
"Please say something" Draco pleaded with her, and watched a tear roll down her cheek, and she looked at him and smiled.
"never mind, your smile says it all" Draco told her.
"what did I do to deserve you?" Hermione asked
"that's what I was thinking" Draco said, taking his thumb and wiping the tear from her cheek.
