Dracos POV (I think you get the hang of it...but oh well.)

Skipping? Yea I would never imagine Hermione Granger to be skipping. Something she would have done when Harry gave her, her 1st kiss in 1st year maybe, but this 15-year-old, dressed in black,poem writing, punk rocker chick skipping. Oh well. As long as I held her hand right? I love her a lot. Last night was really amazing, and I can't stop staring at her ass. *Come on Draco. This is not another booty call. This is serious. Be strong she's very fragile.* These words made me look up at her smile. She was smiling like an angel.

"Draco love? Is everything alright?" she stopped and spun around to look me in the eyes. *She's short. I think I'll call her my shorty. Just for a tease.*

"None wat so ever." I said as genial as possible and smiled back.

Smiling was odd to me. My jaw was beggining to adjust. 45 muscles learning how to work togethor again. I scratched the blonde, short, bristlelike hairs on my chin. She was still smiling.



We entered the Great Hall and as usual everyone stared at us. This time we made the stare and gape at us. Simply because we were holding hands and she was smiling. Two things these people do without thinking. When we do it's like ALERT THE PRESS! Geez these people make me sick. We headed off towards our table. Basicaly two chairs and a round stool thing. Yea we got the goods to eat but we were outcasted. Their loss.

"Draco? You seem utterly confused. Really is something bothering you?" Hermione reached across the table and placed her hand on mine.

"Just these people Hermione. How they treat us. I mean did you see them bloody gapping at us like some sort of freak show. They're pushing the limits. I swear...."

"Draco...you're going to have to calm down. Looking at them with pure disgust is just giving them what they want. Look at me. Leave them alone. Let them hate us. At least we have each other." She slowly began eating her food. She was right. Giving them pure looks of hate would only feed thier disgusting minds.

Last year the boys took complete advantage of Hermione. She was walking down the halls and they would take turns pulling her into the broom closet. She had no way of escape. Day after day this went on...well only until I came into the picture. I was hiding in the broom closet during "Hermione Time" and when one of the boys pulled her into the closet, I decked him. Well of course I gave him a proper greeting in the twig and berries( (c) Owen Cheney. LOL.) He made little fall into the mop bucket and me and Hermione made a mad dash for it while 7 boys chased us (older of course) down the halls, past the Great Hall, and into the DADA classroom where Snape was making corrections on his papers.

*Flashback*

"MALFOY! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHY YOU AND THIS GIRL HAVE BARGED IN HERE LIKE THIS! TELL ME NOW!" Snape shouted as we slammed the door behind us. We were laughing as the sound of the boys banging on the doors made Snape grow redder.

"Nothing really....uh gotta run!" I smiled as we both ran to the Slytherin common room.

*End Of Flashback*

Those were the good old days with me and my lady. Why do I feel so different now? I need to tell here. She told me her secret so it's about time I tell her mine. I mean she's staring into her plate with her big brown eyes. I want her to look at me, to love me. I want the love my father never gave me. The void that my mother made when she left to be filled. The pain that I've been bearing since Carla's death to all go away. I need to come clean...now.

"Shorty?...er...I mean Hermione." I studdered.

"Shorty? Eh well you can call me shorty if you like......it's kind of cute." She smiled.

"I...uh...think it's time I told you about my life, but not here. I can't bear to tell it here. Meet me in the library behind the history books where the sofas are say around 12?" I smiled as I held her hands in mine.

"Sure." She said with a smile as she got up,kissed me, and walked out. I love her. I love her....a lot.

+At the Spot+

"Hermione...I love you so much and I need to let you know that before I continue." I whispered as she crawled into my arms.

"I know. I love you to." She whispered back.

"OK then I will tell you..."
