A/N I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. I only own this plot.

The next morning, Ron was sitting far away from Harry and Hermione. Hermione was telling Harry about her and Draco being friends.

Harry got angry and said, "You....and Draco....friends? Are you serious, you know he hates us."

Not anymore. He even called you Harry and Ron. He said he wants to be friends." Hermione explained.

"No he doesn't, Hermione. He's probably using you for homework or something. You can't be friends with him." Harry replied.

"I will be friends with who ever I want to be. And right now I don't want to be you or Ron's friend." She screamed.

Hermione then realized that she was standing up, shouting at Harry, with everyone looking at her. She ran out of the Great Hall.

While Hermione was shouting, Draco knew what it was about. When Hermione left, so did he. Draco wasn't sure what people would think, nor did he care. After all, he'd changed a lot and nobody really knew much about him anymore. Draco caught up to Hermione, on the way to their common room.

"Um.....Hermione?" Draco asked.

"What?" Hermione snapped and began to walk faster.

"I know we've only been back to school for two weeks, and you may not fully trust me, but I trust you." Draco said.

"So..." Hermione said in a harsh tone.

"So maybe you'd like to go with me this weekend to Hogsmeade, like a date." Draco asked.

Hermione stopped immediately, and turned around.

Hermione said, "Are you serious? Can't you see that I just got into a fight with my two best friends? Give me some space!"

"I'm sorry. I just..." Draco began to say, but Hermione broke him off.

"No Draco, I'm sorry." Hermione said.

Hermione began crying when she said that. Draco encased Hermione in a big hug. Hermione felt so safe in his arms. She stopped crying and whispered yes in his ear. Draco smiled and couldn't wait until that weekend.

"Hermione, I can't believe you!" Ron screamed.

Neither Hermione nor Draco had noticed everybody come out of the Great Hall.

Since Draco's back was to the crowd he said, "They may not know it's me, but I highly doubt it, since they all saw me leave the Great Hall, but run to our common room."

"Okay." Hermione said with a laugh.

They made it back to their common room safely. They moved their chairs closer together, plopped down on them, and began to laugh. Hermione and Draco talk for a couple of hours when Draco noticed the time.

"Are you going to bed?" Draco asked.

"In a little bit." Hermione replied.

"Night." Draco said.

The next morning, Draco got up early to get some of Hermione's favorite books to read. He noticed that his chair had a gold blanket and his silver one was nowhere in the common room. Draco went back to his room and finished getting ready for his classes. As he was leaving to go eat breakfast, He saw Hermione about to leave also. Draco asked about the blankets.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that. It's just that when you gave me a hug last night, I loved how you smelled, and I remembered that your blanket smelled the same way when you covered me up the other night. So I took it and gave you mine." Hermione explained.

"Thanks, but can we go get some breakfast. I'm really hungry.

"Draco, you're just like..." Hermione trailed off.

"Don't worry about him. He'll come around." Draco reassured her.

"I hope so." Hermione said.

They left for breakfast, talking the whole way. Hermione was upset that she couldn't sit with Draco at breakfast, because she wouldn't have anybody to talk to. She started to walk very slow.

"Hermione, why are you walking so slowly?" Draco asked.

"If everyone sees us walk in together, they'll know we're friends and hate me. I can't deal with that. Harry and Ron already hate me." Hermione answered.

"So you're embarrased of me? Well, now there's a third person. I thought you were better than that. I don't care if people hate me or not." Draco said in a very harsh tone.

"Wait." Hermione said.

"No, leave me alone. I'm going to breakfast." Draco said even angrier.

"Draco." Hermione said, mad at herself.

But he just walked off. Hermione was hungry, but didn't want to go to the Great Hall and see Draco. She quickly went into the Great Hall and grabbed a muffin. She went back to the common room. Draco saw her leave and thought about what he'd said.

Draco left shortly after Hermione to talk to her. When he got to the common room, he saw her bookbag on her chair. Draco looked in the library, but couldn't find Hermione. He figured she was in her room.

"Fine!" Draco said loudly.

He moved his chair back, farther away from the original spot. Draco left quickly. Hermione waited until she heard the portrait shut, then left her room. She noticed that Draco had moved his chair. Hermione's eyes filled with tears.

"He really does hate me." Hermione whispered to herself.

Hermione grabbed her bag and left. Both Hermione and Draco were upset the entire day. After classes, Hermione went straight to her room. All she did was study and homework. Draco also went to his room, but left for dinner. Immediately after dinner, Draco went to bed. Hermione continued doing homework until 11p.m.

Draco was very restless. He was having a dream about Hermione being friends with Harry and Ron again. He was friends with all of his old pals again. He was very popular and had the second highest grade in his class (behind Hermione of course.) He was also supposed to play for a great Quidditch team, when he left school. For him life should have been great, but it was missing one thing.

"Hermione!" Draco said as he woke around 2 a.m., and ran to Hermione's room.

While Draco was had his dream, Hermione was having one too. Hermione's dream was about her being friends with Harry and Ron again, but Draco went back to his dad and said he would become a deatheater. But Lucius wasn't satisfied with, he wanted Draco to pay for leaving. So Lucius tortured Draco.

"Hermione, Hermione! Wake up!" Draco yelled waking up Hermione from her nightmare.

"What?" Hermione yawned, tears about to fall from her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Draco questioned her.

"I...I was having a nightmare... about you." said a very confused Hermione.

"Oh." Draco said, looking extremely hurt and upset.

"Let's go sit," Hermione said and Draco moved his chair back, "It was a good nightmare. I guess. It made me realize something. I realized that I care about you and I really want to be with you. I don't care what the others think. Now, wait, why were you knocking at my door this early in the morning?"

"I also had a dream. I had everything I could have ever possibly wanted, but my life was missing one thing, and it was you. I want to be with you too, Hermione." Draco explained.

"That's so great!" Hermione exclaimed, and gave Draco a hug.

Draco stood up and hugged Hermione back. They stood there, wrapped in each others arms, for about ten minutes.

Draco, we have to get to bed. We've got classes tomorrow. Still on for this weekend?" Hermione asked.

"Okay, but just a sec." Draco said and transformed their chairs into a big, plush sofa. Draco lied down on the sofa and said, "C'mon, we can sleep on the couch. I promise I won't do anything."

"No." Hermione said and switched the sofa back to the chairs. Draco fell on the ground. Hermione laughed as she gave him a peck on the cheek and ran up to her room.
