A/N: Sorry I haven't updated forever! My mom wouldn't let me get on the internet for weeks! I'm not sure when my next chapter will be since I can't get online much.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Draco had decided in Potions that it was necessary to follow Hermione for a bit. Either something exceedingly odd was going on, or she was up to something. Since he had not a clue which it was, he was going to have to investigate.

Hermione felt that something was amiss. She felt eyes on her. Not Draco's eyes. She had known he was following her for some time. It was totally by accident, but she wouldn't admit that.

She had been paying absolutely NO attention to her surroundings, and had walked right into a first year. The girl looked like she was going to die. Hermione just smiled and helped the child pick up the spilled contents of her bag.

When she picked up a small, open, compact she noticed movement behind her, which was odd, since hardly anyone used this corridor. That was part of the reason she hadn't been paying attention.

She stealthily moved the mirror so that she could see who was behind her. Malfoy was lounging against the far wall. God, was he sexy. 'curious...' she absently finished picking up the girls items while pondering.

'Granger's got herself some nice "assets"' Draco silently admired while she was bent over to pick up some first years crap.

She looked as though she was headed to the library. No wonder the hall seemed deserted. Hardly anyone went there, and if they did it was but for fifteen minutes or so.

------------------------------

In the library

"Why could you possibly want to follow a "filthy mudblood" around for hours? I mean, your not even acting inconspicuous."

Draco raised an eyebrow. She had caught him off guard. He truly didn't believe he would be caught so quickly. He wasn't about to give himself away however.

"You are absolutely right. Why could I possibly want to follow YOU around?"

'Crap. What am I going to say?' Hermione thought for a moment.

'Good, I've got her.' Draco thought in triumph, no matter how small that triumph may be.

An evil smirk broke out across Hermione's face. "Because you think I'm a sexy beast, and you just can't get enough of me." Hermione stared straight at him.

"Can't say that I blame you though. Who wouldn't want to stare at me for hours?" Hermione gave a small chuckle. She was having fun putting those shocked looks on Draco's face.

Draco decided to play along. He was tired of being the only one surprised. "You caught me." He looked at her with a mischievous glare in his eye. "I've been sitting here trying to figure out how I was going to look up your skirt without being caught."

Hermione was decidedly surprised. She had been expecting an indignant Draco to storm out of here, cursing her every step of the way.

Hermione cocked her head and studied him. He had the look of utmost innocence. But for the gleam in his eyes she would have believed him. 'What kind of game was he playing?'

"Umm...I'll be going now." And with that she walked out the library. Draco followed her. This time he didn't try to hide at all.

Hermione was feeling uncomfortable with him walking that close to her. She was scared that he may do something to her. What he would, she was not sure.

As she began to climb the stairs, however, he stayed at the bottom. 'What is up with him?! First he's following me, now he's just standing there like a fool.'

Curious, Hermione turned around and saw him, his head turned to the side. 'That arrogant prat is looking up my skirt!' She just gaped at him.

Draco gave a proud smirk and began to walk towards the dungeons. All Hermione could do was stare after him.

-----------------------

Draco walked into the common room with a smirk on his face. He didn't even realize he was smiling until Pansy asked him what he was so happy about.

"Nothing!" he said a bit defensively.

"Sorry" Pansy said with a great deal of attitude. "What's got your knickers in a bunch?" Had anyone else said something like that to Draco he would have hexed them on the spot. She was special.

"I already told you, nothing." Pansy was his best friend, but she was only so special. He wouldn't willingly tell her about his "escapade" with Granger. He had a feeling that she would weasel it out of him eventually though.

A/N: I hope you guys liked it. I know I'm moving the relationship kinda fast, but things were going so slow! Thank you to all those who reviewed! It just makes me so happy to know what you guys think.

I'll try to write longer chapters for those who complained.
