Recap---

"Yeah…" said Draco dreamily. Then when he caught his breath once more he pushed Hermione back down onto the couch and kissed her more passionately. She moaned with pleasure and giggled at his light and airy touch. His hands moved down from her shoulder and she stopped kissing.

"What?" he asked disappointedly.

"I can't do that." She said shaking her head and removing his hands from her.

"Oh… well I have home work I'll see you latter." And with that he got off the couch and went upstairs to his room leaving hermione behind contemplating her actions.

Chapter 3

It was Saturday morning and Hermione was running late for breakfast. She quickly slipped into a large soft and warm gap hoody and jeans. She ran down to the great hall and sat down next to Harry and Ginny and across from Ron. She smiled at them all and grabbed a muffin.

"So, Ron, if you're not going to go to the ball with me, who are you planning on taking?" she asked.

"He's not going with you?!" asked Ginny, shocked. Hermione nodded and turned back to Ron.

"Well?"

"Well… um… I haven't asked her yet but… um… well see, you guys don't really like her but, um… well she's sort of nicer to me and all, so I figured I would give her a chance."

"Well who is she?" asked Hermione. Ron muttered something that sounded like pansy, but she had to be sure.

"Pansy Parkinson?" she asked trying not to burst out laughing. He nodded slowly.

"But you barely know her?!" exclaimed Harry.

"Well we ran into each other over the summer and sort of got along pretty well." Said Ron blushing. Hermione smiled.

"You two do make a cute couple." She said making Ron smile.

"Really?" he asked looking pleased. She nodded.

"Of course!" she finished her muffin and headed out of the great hall for a stroll around school grounds. She walked to the edge of the lake and took a deep cleansing breath. This is nice, she thought.

"Nothing better to do with you day." She said out loud, smiling into the water. She paused for a moment listening as she heard some one laugh.

"Stop Severus! I mean it stop!" she yelled. The laughter got harder and then it stopped.

"You know Thorn I think you were right to pare up weasley and Parkinson, they seemed to get along quite well, but granger and Draco? I don't know they didn't even speak to each other during the whole class." Said Snape.

"Well give them time. I know what I felt and it was pretty strong. But when they hate each other for so long it takes a bit for them to trust each other. Take us for instance…"

"No not us Thorn!"

"Yes us. I dated tom for three years and then found out I liked you. No one trusted tom except Lucius, meaning, no one trusted me ether. I suppose I got lucky having Lilly and you there." She said.

"Yes well we best be going back to the castle…" and then the voices stopped Hermione thought for a moment. Thorn, Thorn… whose name is Thorn… MADAM ROSE! I have to go tell Harry and Ron! She re entered the great hall and ran to the gryffindor table. She was about to tell Harry and Ron but was interrupted when professor Dumbledore stood to address the houses.

"My dear students," he began "I would like to say welcome to our new defense against the dark arts teacher, Madam Rose. She has asked me to tell you all as a group why she must wear gloves. Well in her seventh year here for some unfortunate reasons she developed the ability to give life and death threw touch. For this reason she must wear gloves so that she does not harm any of you. That is all." And he sat down. Hermione gasped. That's so odd… she thought no one could just develop that sort of thing. She turned back to Harry and Ron and told them what she had heard.

"Do you think it means me and malfoy are supposed to be friends or something?" she asked hoping they would say yeah and that she should talk to him.

"Yeah Hermione!" said Ron.

"You should go talk to him!" Harry said cheerfully. To cheerfully.

"I'm serious guys. Really. Should I try and settle my differences with malfoy? I mean she got you and pansy right."

"Well yeah but that was obvious!" said Ron blushing.

"Yeah, Draco's a slimy git that calls you a mudblood every chance he gets!" said Harry. At that moment Draco and pansy walked up to the table.

"Potter, weasley, granger." Addressed malfoy. Pansy walked over to Ron and whispered something in his ear. He blushed slightly and nodded, following her out of the great hall.

"Wonder what that was about… hey granger can we discuss potions?" asked malfoy. Hermione shrugged her shoulders and turned to Harry.

"Would you mind Harry?" she asked.

"Not at all." He said coldly.

"Thanks potter." Said malfoy looking as though he was dying as he said it. Hermione laughed and followed him out of the great hall and back to their dorms.

"So what do you need to know about potions?" she asked.

"Oh nothing really I just wanted to talk about chemistry…" he said rapping his arms around her waist. She laughed again.

"What about it?" she asked playing stupid.

"Well what happens when you mix me, you, and that couch over there?"

"Nothing, if you're thinking about what I think you're thinking about." She said stepping back a bit. He laughed and pulled her back to him.

"Wrong! It makes two very happy people." He said kissing her on the forehead. "And here I thought you knew everything." She laughed and kissed his nose.

"Ok I'm willing to be happy. But what makes you think you're the one that makes me happy?" she asked.

"Well who else? If its potter I swear I'll pound him into oblivion! I'll, I'll, I'll… I don't know yet… but after I can start thinking again I swear it'll be bad!" he said turning red with fury. She laughed again and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I was only kidding…" she said before draco pulled her back into the kiss. He moved her back over to the couch and they continued snogging.

Harry's pov----

He watched as Hermione and Draco walked out of the great hall. He knew something was going on between them but didn't want to think about. His thoughts were cut short when Ginny walked into the great hall looking deeply depressed. She sat down at the empty end of the table and seemed to drown her sorrows in muffins and juice, and lots of it mind that. Harry got up and walked down to ware she was sitting and smiled at her.

"Hey gin. Is everything ok?" he asked. She looked up at him and then burst into tears.

"Dean… broke… up… with… me!" she sobbed. "I… cant…. Believe… he… is… so… dense!… he… owled… me… telling… me… we… were… done!"

"That's awful Ginny!" he said hugging her. As he did so he felt something click. He felt so warm and bubbly as he held her in his arm.

"Shhhh, gin its ok." He soothed as she sobbed into his shoulder. She calmed down a bit and stared into his deep green eyes. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed and looked away for a moment.

"Um gin, I was wondering…" he started but was cut off when Ginny asked him something he looked up and saw her looking anxious.

"Sorry what did you say?"

"I asked if you would want to be my date to the dance?"

Harry smiled and nodded. "I was just about to ask the same question."

Ron's pov----

"Pansy I was wondering… would you be my date to the dance next week?" pansy reddened and nodded.

"I would love to!" she said and hugged him. He kissed her on the check and pulled away for a moment.

"Did you tell malfoy that you were going with some one else this year?"

"Yeah, I thought he took it pretty hard though." Not really he practically jumped for joy… that jerk.

"Yeah I told Hermione and she seemed okay with it, in fact this morning when she found out it was you she said we made a cute couple."

"Really?! I'm so glad! I hope she can forgive me for all the bad things I said to her. I only said them because Draco would constantly talk about her. It was really somewhat disturbing." She said laughing, "but I guess you do that when your in love, right Ronny?" his ears reddened and he nodded.

"Wait, WHAT?! He likes Hermione?"

"Well yeah it was sort of obvious." She said.

"Well did he tell you this?"

"No I just knew."

"Oh…"

"Why?" she asked. He told her everything that Hermione had said that she had overheard Madam Rose tell Snape. Pansy clapped her hands together and grinned sheepishly.

"Oh I knew it!" she squealed.

Hermione's pov-----

Her and Draco decided to go out for a stroll around the school grounds but by the time they made it out side it was already almost 10. Draco grabbed her hand and pulled her out into the forest. He didn't stop pulling until they reached a small, disserted pond with crystal blue water. Hermione smiled at him and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"This place is beautiful Draco. How did you know about it?" she asked as he rapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to a near by tree. He sat her down on the ground and sat down next to her.

"My little secrete…" he said brushing her hair away from her neck and kissing her lightly. He nibbled her ear and began to suck intently on the side of her neck. She moaned with pleasure.

"I heard them around here some ware my sweet." Came the unforgettable voice of filtch and the soft meow of Mrs. Norris.

"Oh no!" whispered Hermione, "we're caught!"

"Don't worry, I've got everything covered." Whispered Draco. Filtch came into view and he quickly spotted Hermione and Draco.

"Oh Draco sir. I should have known it was just you. I hope you enjoy your self." He said leaving quickly. Hermione glared at Draco.

"What did he mean?" she asked coldly.

"Nothing."

"Oh really? Then me getting up and leaving is nothing ether." And that's just what she did too. She got up and left.
