A/N: Hey yal!!! Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I kinda got grounded and really don't have any time to type except at school, and it's even been busy at school. Hope you guys like this.
Reviewers: I'd like to thank pirate-elfgal, sorry I haven't got your story emailed back to you. I'll do it as soon as possible. What happened to quotations?

Thank you for your wonderful reviews!!!

Chapter Twenty-One
Draco ran up the stairs to the Astronomy tower. He didn't want to be late, because Professor Kreiger was as strict as Professor Snape. He didn't like students coming in late, no matter what the reason. He was also as boring as Professor Binns, so Draco usually got yelled at for zoning out.
He rushed into the classroom, and was glad to see that the teacher wasn't there yet. He walked down the isle to his usual spot by Crabbe and Goyle, and sat down.
"Hey Malfoy, since when have you been dating a stupid mudblood?" asked Crabbe, who received an evil glare from Draco.
"Yeah, why are you going out with that mudblood Granger? You had it so good with Pansy," added Goyle.
"Since when is it any of your business if I date a mudblood? I can date who I want, when I want."
"Yeah, but..." Crabbe began.
"No buts. I love Hermione, and there is nothing you can do about it," Draco said, slouching in his seat. The room grew uncomfortably quiet, and then whispers erupted.
"Did you hear that?"
"He loves a mudblood!"
"He's dating that mudblood Granger!"
"I can't believe it!"
Draco stood up and was just about to say something about all the whispering, but Professor Kreiger entered the room in a grouchy mood.
"Take your seat, Mr. Malfoy," snapped Professor Kreiger.
Draco did so, and turned a light shade of pink.
"For the next few weeks, we will begin to chart the movement of Jupiter's moons." Professor Kreiger continued babbling, but Draco zoned out again.
"This is going to be very boring, but interesting," Draco thought to himself, leaning back in his chair.
Hermione ran into her Arithmancy class, her cheeks pink. She was almost late for class, but not quite. She sat down in her normal seat, and began writing down the notes off of the blackboard. Within minutes, she had finished, and was waiting for the class to start.
She kept thinking about Blaise. "Will he be okay?" she thought to herself. She needed to see him, but had to wait until she got an owl from Madam Pomfrey. She tried to drive the thought out of her mind as she opened her Arithmancy book and began that day's assignment. She got it done right before the end of class, and quickly headed to her Ancient Runes class. She thought about Draco, and how he was stuck in Double Astronomy. She wished she could be there with him.
In Ancient Runes, she just had another boring class assignment, so she got right to work on it. The day dragged on, and right in the middle of her Ancient Runes class, Professor Dumbledore strode in and went up to the teacher's desk. Dumbledore gave her a look that plainly told her to follow him, and walking out the door, she found Draco.
"Do you know what is going on?" she mouthed to him, and he shook his head in answer.
"Madam Pomfrey told me about you two trying to visit Blaise this morning." The couple were silent, so Dumbledore continued. "Blaise has been fading between consciousness and unconsciousness, and he has asked to see you two."
Hermione's face lit up, and Draco noticed there was a little bounce in her step. Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, Hermione was hugging Blaise and kissing him on the cheek. There was much chatter, and soon, Hermione and Draco were being shooed out of the hospital wing. Lunch was over and it was time for them to go to Double Transfiguration. They held hands all the way there, and when they got to the class, Hermione received many nasty looks from her fellow Gryffindors.
Draco noticed that the bounce in her step had disappeared, and she was more gloomy than normal. They went their separate ways to their normal seats, and waited for Professor McGonnagal to begin.
A/N: Hey, sorry this is so short, but I kinda got grounded for a couple of weeks and have to do this all at school. What did you think? I promise it will all go slower in the next chapter, and there is much in store.
