Hermione sat up in her room, on her bed, enjoying the silence and tending
to her bruises that she acquired over the past few days, and her thoughts
of Malfoy's kiss when she heard whizzing sounds past her window.
'I know I've heard that before", Hermione thought.
Hermione looked out the window and...OWLS, tons of them, fluttering and
hooting about.
She jumped off her bed and scurried down to see who was responsible this
time. TO her satisfaction, it was Malfoy. She was hoping it was.
"Granger, can we talk?" Malfoy asked timidly.
"Er, sure, Draco...but only if you call me Hermione, k?" Hermione insisted.
"Ok, Hermione...want to sit down?"
The two sat down by the usually tree, the Whomping Willow, gazing at the
lake.
Both were hesitant to say anything...until Malfoy sneezed.
"Bless you!", Hermione laughed. 'Draco sounds cute when he sneezes', she
thought.
"Thank you, Hermione." Malfoy said, looking deep into her eyes.
"You're welcome."
"No, thank you for keeping me from making the biggest mistake. Melissa
wasn't for me. She wasn't even a Muggle, or a decent human. You, on the
other hand, are very decent."
Hermione's eye widened as Malfoy continued. "...I like you...I'm sorry for all you've gone through with me over the years...all my nasty comments and my hate...it's all in the past, really. Could you ever consider letting me get to know you better, and REALLY go on a date?"
"About the dating thing...Melissa told me that you would be our slave...I didn't mean to sound so bossy and terrible...it was her doing, not mine...", Malfoy leaned over and kissed her mouth gently.
"Don't worry about it. I want to take out on a date good and proper. As equals. What do you say?" Malfoy questioned.
"OK, Draco...where do you want to go?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I've been reading about a place underground in Hogwart's: A History, and it sounds really exciting...it leads to a—"Hermione interrupted "Draco, YOU read that book? I don't believe it! I thought I was the only one who read that." Hermione said cheerfully. "You'll discover a lot about me if you really knew me...let's go." Draco said, grabbing Hermione's hand. Malfoy and Hermione walked hand-in-hand towards the castle, whilst the flying owls and brilliant violet sparks surrounded them. Hermione laughed inside at the innocence of Draco's discovery. She knew all that was in Hogwart's: A History, but she enjoyed Draco's excitement. ..."And there's this hump on a witch that makes this door open..."Draco explains, as they enter the castle, living happily ever after...at least they think. :o)
