*****

As soon as Hermione heard the words kiss and Draco she felt as if she had just received a big fat D on a test. Anyone but him! What am I going to do?

Draco stood up and approached Hermione. She got to her feet and started walking towards him. I can't believe, I Hermione Granger, am kissing a Malfoy. At least Harry and Ron aren't here.

Hermione stopped a few feet away from Draco, and he walked towards her. He leaned forwards and whispered, "I would never let a filthy Mudblood kiss me but I don't want to make a scene and seeing how no one here would understand ill make it easy for you if you make it easy for me."

Hermione nodded in agreement and said, "Ok…so umm I… I guess that err," she stammered.

"You have never kissed a guy before, have you?" said Malfoy smirking.

"Yes I- well…no," Hermione said quietly looking to the ground. This is the most uncomfortable conversation I have had with Malfoy in 6 years!

"Why am I not surprised? Who would want to be kissed by someone like you?" he said putting his hands in his pocket.

"I would!" said a couple of guys staring at Hermione.

Hermione smiled and shot a glance at Melinda. She smiled back and Hermione quickly turned back to Draco.

*****

Draco couldn't believe what he was hearing. Every guy in the room but him seemed to want to kiss Hermione, filthy, mudblood, know-it-all Hermione. If they knew who she really was they wouldn't dream of kissing her!

"Come on mate! Don't keep the lady waiting. If you don't want to kiss ill be happy too," said a tall brown-haired guy staring at them.

All of a sudden, Draco, annoyed with everyone's behavior, took his hands out of his pockets and pulled her closer to him. I can't believe I'm doing this!

Hermione gasped as Draco yanked her forwards. She stood up on her toes as high as she could looking up at the tall blonde boy.

Malfoy leaned down and kissed her briefly- maybe only a second or two- but during that time Malfoy felt something he had never felt before. He wasn't sure, but he thought that it could be that after kissing Hermione Granger, he had a crush on her. When he realized what had just gone through his mind, he pulled away from her immediately. They stood there for a few moments, staring deep into each other's eyes.

Malfoy let go of Hermione, took a few steps backwards, and quickly walked back to the circle.

*****

Hermione walked back towards the circle her head spinning. She was dumbfounded. What just happened? Did I just enjoy the fact that Malfoy was kissing me? She suddenly felt all eyes on her. Can everyone tell how nervous I was? Why are they all staring! It's impolite to stare.

"Spin already!" shouted a couple of girls eager to continue the game.

Hermione looked at Melinda for help. Melinda quickly said, "Ashley since you were picked its your turn to spin."

Hermione smiled at Melinda and began to panic. I completely forgot that if you were chosen it was your turn! I guess I was too nervous about kissing Malfoy. She took the bottle in her hand and gave it a small spin. It finally stopped and was pointing at a tall brown-haired kid. It was the same boy who was said he would kiss her if Draco didn't want too. Hermione swallowed nervously as she approached the boy. I wish I didn't have to do this again. So much is already on my mind! She leaned towards him and gave him a brief distracted kiss on the lips. She then walked back to her spot hoping that was the last time she would have to stand up.

The game continued for another 10 minutes and lucky for Hermione she wasn't chosen again. Finally, after what seemed like eternity a girl announced that the game was over. Hermione quickly got up and headed to Melinda.

"Oh Hermione you are so lucky!" Melinda said.

"Lucky?" said Hermione looking at Melinda.

"Yes, you got to kiss that guy who you have a crush on! I didn't even get Joe!"

"Wait one minute. What guy?" said Hermione confused. I don't have a crush on anyone here.

"You know Ash! The tall blonde haired kid umm... John," Melinda said.

"Are you kidding I don't have a crush on him!!" said Hermione in protest. How on bloody hell would she think I have a crush on him! What is wrong with her?

"Oh come on. I saw the way that you stared at him after you two kissed! Don't worry I think he likes you too."

Hermione froze. Oh no! I didn't mean too… I don't like him…he definitely doesn't like me either. Hermione's mind raced. "I do not have a crush on Draco Malfoy!" she finally said very frustrated. All she wanted right now was to go home.

"What? Draca Malloy who the hell-" Melinda started but Hermione quickly interrupted her.

"Oh it's a saying that the ancient Romans used," said Hermione quickly realizing she almost gave away their 'identity'.

"Sure Ash, whatever you say," said Melinda looking at Hermione as if she grew an extra arm, "well admit it! I know you like him. Come on… I won't tell anyone!"

"Alright I do," said Hermione giving up. I can't explain it to her she wouldn't understand. It's not as if I really like him. But deep inside her Hermione knew that perhaps, just maybe this wasn't such a lie after all.

All of a sudden a tall handsome boy approached the two girls. "Melinda can I have this dance?" he said taking her arm.

"Oh Hermione I'm going to go dance with Joe," she said turning around smiling and Hermione.

Hermione remembered Joe was the kid who Melinda was crazy for so she nodded. This is the perfect time for me to get away. I really want to go back to the room.

Melinda walked to the dance floor with Joe and Hermione sat down for a bit to eat. She then got up and was heading out the door when the tall brown-haired started to walk after her. It was the same kid who she had to kiss. He tapped Hermione on the shoulder. Hermione gasped and turned around.

"I didn't mean to scare you I'm Robert," he said.

"Hi I am-" Hermione started but Robert finished the sentence for her.

"You are the most beautiful girl here and I want to be your date tonight," he said taking her arm and kissing her hand.
Hermione didn't like this kid one bit. She pulled in her arm and said, "Id love to but I'm on my way out."

"No you aren't" he said firmly, "No one walks away from me. If I ask you to dance you dance."
