DISCLAIMER: -That word says all...WOO!


Hallways (October 19) Continued

Once Hermione's lips touched his, without thinking he wrapped his hands around her waist (A/K: because you know how much I love to write that Drew) and pulled her closer to him.

'Oh my God! It's better than I thought it would be!' In the back of his head he knew she was only doing this to get back at Weasley and Potter, but he didn't want to believe it. He had dreamed about kissing her, and now he was doing it.

Hermione's thoughts on the other hand were nothing like Draco's. During the kiss, she had one eye opened and was watching Ron with it. She chuckled a little on the inside when she saw his face. Complete and utter disgust. She wouldn't trade this moment for any other.

When Draco pulled her to him, she thought he was just acting the part. 'God, he's good at this. It's the perfect way for both of us to get back at them. I wonder why I didn't think of this before.'

Harry was staring at Hermione, a confused look on his face. It was like he was seeing something so wrong his brain wouldn't let him believe it. After what seemed like eternity, Ron stormed over to them and pulled them apart.

"Ron, what the hell are you doing?" Hermione put her hands on her hips and glared at him.

'If looks could kill,' Draco thought to himself, 'Weasley would be dead by now.'

Ron, who's obviously seen the look thousands of times, judging by the response he gave to it, or lack of, gave Hermione his own version of the death glare.

"What do you mean what the hell am I doing? I should be asking you...NO! I am asking you the same thing. What the hell are you doing?"

"God Ron, it's my life. I can do whatever I want without your approval, and there's nothing you can do about it!" She stuck her nose in the air and crossed her arms.

"You can't kiss Malfoy, that's like one of the seven deadly sins!" Ron's face was almost purple with anger at this point.

Malfoy and Harry were watching the two fighting. Harry, who's had to go through this since first year, ignored the fighting. What he was staying for was her explanation for why she had just kissed Malfoy.

Draco's reaction was a bit different. He was a little freaked out by the whole thing. He had no form of protection, and he was right next to the two of them. 'Thank God neither of them seem to have a wand.'
Gryffindor Common Room (October 19)

Shortly after her fight with Ron, Hermione stormed off back to the Common Room without another word to either of the boys. She heard someone chasing her, but who ever it was got stopped by Peeves. She didn't care how he did it, but that was the first time she had ever wanted to kiss that poltergeist.

When she got to the common room she felt an overwhelming urge to hide herself in the boy's dorm room. She ran upstairs and checked out the dorm to make sure nobody was in it. When she noticed the coast was clear she ran in and hid herself under Harry's bed, grabbing his Invisibility Cloak just incase they happen to catch a glance of her.

Ron and Harry entered the Dorm Room a while later, neither noticing the other presence in the room.

"I can't believe she'd do that to me!" Ron mumbled as he sat on his bed, giving Hermione a clear shot of him.

'Who ever he's talking about obviously hurt him. His face, it looks so angry, and yet so sad. I almost feel sorry for being mad at him.'

"I know," Harry sat next to Ron and patted him on the back. "I wasn't exactly expecting that either."

"But, she was giving off all the signals! I was sure she liked me, I was planning on asking her to go with me to Hogsmede this weekend."

"Yeah, I was certain that she felt the same way, or else I would have never suggested you go for it."

'What the hell are they talking about? And why am I under Harry's bed? This just feels so stupid.' Hermione was about to come out from under the bed to help Harry comfort Ron and help him out with whatever girl trouble he was having. 'Hey, Ron's one of my best friends, and when he needs help, I'm there too. Even if he is a stupid git!' Then Ron said something that made her stop moving.

"How could she have kiss Malfoy?"

'Wait, is he talking about me?'

"I know Ron, I didn't think she'd do something like that either."

'Does Ron like me? I would have never guessed he even saw me as a girl. I always thought I was just the friend that helped him out with his schoolwork, and that was it.' Hermione laid down under Harry's bed, wishing she was anywhere but right there. She could have lived without that bit of knowledge.

"There's other fish in the sea Ron." Harry patted his back and stood up to walk over to his bed.

"I know," Ron buried his face in his hands, "I know Harry. But I don't want another damn fish; I want Hermione. I think that I love her!"

At this Hermione closed her eyes and slapped her forehead. She had always liked Ron, but never thought that he felt the same way, so she'd push him away with the arguments and whatever else. 'What have I done!' It took all she had not to cry right there. That would have been a nice predicament.

"You know Ron, you haven't lost her yet. All you have to do is win her back."

"Yeah, that sounds good and all Harry, but I never had her in the first place."
(A/N: Don't worry Draco/Hermione fans, he hasn't lost her yet...)
