1 Day…or 24 Hours
Chapter 7: The Sixth Hour
Time: 12:35 AM
If only she had conjured her dreamless sleep potion, she would have saved herself from a night of tumultuous, but passionate, dreams.

The feel of skin on skin. The passion growing with each alluring kiss. The caress of his hot breath against her ear. It was all so intoxicating. Like a drug; addicting, captivating, it kept her coming back for more.
Hermione felt like she was on fire. Her nerves were on end all over her body. Where ever his skin touched hers it would burn. Burn in pleasure; a pleasure so incredible you were practically high. Her breath was becoming more ragged by the second. She arched into him as he kissed her neck, and she let a moan escape her lips.

"Draco," Hermione moaned in her sleep as she tossed and turned.
Draco was half-asleep and he could have sworn he heard Hermione say his name. Just at that moment, Hermione sat bolt up right in bed. Her breathing was shallow and she had a look of disbelief on her face. She slowly turned her head to look at Draco, who was now sitting up, and her eyes widened. She quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
"What the hell did I do now?" Draco asked himself as he laid back down, trying to fall back asleep.

Hermione splashed cold water on her face. What in the world was she just dreaming about?! She was in shock.
'But that was a damn good dream.' Hermione thought to herself. 'Wonder if he's really like that? Eh, he is from what I hear.' As Hermione thought that, she sank down to the ground leaning on the back of the bathroom door. 'What is wrong with me?! Maybe I am attracted to Draco Malfoy. I guess I just didn't realize it before.' Hermione thought with a look of realization on her face. 'What a hell of a way to realize.' She sat there for awhile longer, trying to calm herself, contemplating her next move. Whether she should get up and have to face Draco again, or stay in the bathroom the whole night. A decision finally came to her.
Hermione got up off the floor, now calm, and brushed her teeth. (A/N: What can I say?! A girl should always be aware of her breath! lol) She straightened herself out and walked out of the bathroom. She could hear Draco's light snores and knew he had fallen back asleep. 'I'll just have to talk to him later then.' Hermione thought as she started the fire back up again and curled up in a chair, knowing she wouldn't be able to get any more sleep that night…even if she tried.

1:11 AM
Draco had been lying there for quite some time staring at Hermione. He had been contemplating, wondering if he'd done the right thing earlier, telling Hermione how he felt. He had never been able to do that before. He had been trained not to show any feeling, and there he was pouring his heart out to his worst enemy. There was some quality that she possessed that brought out the best in him. The side that most people didn't even know existed. He was a completely different person around her when she wasn't surrounded by her two side-kicks, Potter and Weasel. For example, take the way he acted today. He was actually nice to her earlier in Honeydukes, before he had time to figure things out. Draco didn't know what was happening to him, but he knew he had more than just an attraction for Hermione, and it was killing him that she didn't feel the same way.

There was so much to tell him. She could see the look in his eyes before when she said she didn't know. Now she does. How she wanted to be more than friends, and that scared her beyond belief. She knew what Harry and Ron would say, but she didn't care. They didn't control her, she made her own decisions. They would have to deal. They could still hate him for all she cared, but she didn't. She was far from it at the moment. She liked him, she liked him a lot. And she was falling, falling fast…

1:27 AM
Draco couldn't stand it anymore; he had to talk to her. He got up out of bed, walked over to Hermione, and sat down in the chair next to her. She slowly turned her head towards him, and they stared into each other's hearts for awhile.
"Draco," Hermione said looking away, "I need to talk to you."
His heart sank at that very moment; he knew he made a mistake.
"I know now. I saw the look in your eyes. How much I hurt you, but I don't want to hurt you anymore. I don't care what anybody else thinks, and I want to be more than just friends Draco. I want you." She looked up at him with hope.
"You have no idea how much that means to me," Draco said turning to face her. The fire was reflected in her eyes, making them that much more beautiful. Making her that much more beautiful. She was nothing he'd seen before, and now that she felt the same way…
They stared at each other for awhile longer, Draco then leaned over and placed his lips on hers. This kiss was different from the last. It was more meaningful. He got up, lips still locked, and kneeled by Hermione. He put his hands on her legs and she melted into him.
