------........-----
Hermione walked into the barn, stopping briefly to stroke the dark bay's neck. "Uh...Korimi?" She said uncertainly, entering the barn, she wasn't sure if Korimi had calmed down yet.
The other girl popped he head out from the tack room, and gave her a small smile. "Hey."
Hermione returned the smile, and entered the tack room to see Korimi was oiling the tack, so it wouldn't rot or get stiff.
"Can...can I ask you something?" Hermione asked softly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.
"Yea sure." Korimi said, going back to oiling her saddle.
"Do...you think Draco is really on our side?" She said uncertainly.
The other girl stopped what she was doing, and looked at her. "Yea. I do." She raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Oh...just...wondering I guess."
"Wondering huh?" Korimi smirked slightly.
Sighing, Hermione decided to just tell her. "I...guess I'm...starting to like him..." She mumbled the last part, so it was barely audible, but Korimi caught it, and her smirk deepened. "It's about time..." She chuckled. "Tala and Bryan were about to throw you two in a closet and not let you out until 'you procreated like bunnies' according to Tala."
Hermione gave her a disgusted look, and Korimi laughed. "They were joking! ....I think." She shrugged. "Anyway." Korimi raised an eyebrow. "You make it sound like liking Malfoy is a bad thing."
"It is! He's a Slytehring PUREBLOOD! I'm a Gryffindor muggle-born! Not that I mind...but...what's going to happen once we return to Hogwarts. Harry and Ron-"
"Slow down Hermione!" Korim half yelled. "Geez. You're thinking WAY too much...Listen...don't worry about what's going to happen when you return to Hogwarts. Ok? Besides..." She grinned. "You actually have to BE with Malfoy first."
"What?! Oh no...no, no, no, no, no" She said quickly shaking her head.
Korimi smirked. "Oh yes...yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Hermione sighed in defeat. "I'm not going to win am I?"
"Nope."
Sighing again Hermione shrugged. "Fine. Whatever. Just PLEASE don't tell Draco! I don't want to ruin our friendship!" She looked at Korimi with pleading eyes.
"Ok." Korimi grinned. "This should be fun."
"I'm going back in...thanks Korimi."
"No problem."
----....-----
'I don't like her, I don't like her, I don't-'
"Malfoy?" Tala's voice broke him form his thoughts.
"Hn."
The redhead smirked. "I heard from a certain midget that you and Granger had your first kiss...how sweet." He teased.
"Shut it Ivanouv. I don't want to deal with your crap right now."
"Sounds like someone a little touchy today." Rei Kon's voice said, coming up from behind him.
"Sod off." Draco growled.
Rei and Tala simply raised an eyebrow before grinning.
"Now why would we do that?" Rei said, slinging one arm around Draco's shoulders. "We're going to help you get the girl of your dreams."
Malfoy snorted. "Right. What makes you think I'm interested in Hermione.?"
Tala rolled his eyes. "Well, normally, when someone kisses someone else, it means they have feelings for the one they're kissing..."
"Unless you're suggesting you just go around kissing people for no reason." Rei said, finishing Tala's sentence.
Shrugging off Rei's arm, he glared at them and began walking back to the house. "So what if I like her? It's my business. Not yours"
Unknown to the blond, a certain brunette had heard him on her way to the house as well. However, neither Rei nor Tala failed to notice her.
"Oh my goodness." Korimi's amused voice came from behind them. Don't tell me that my over protective brother is actually nor threatening my boyfriend for once."
The redhead glared at her playfully. "Haha...actually, we just received very interesting information from a certain blond."
"you too huh?"
"So...what so you suggest we do?" Rei asked.
Korimi smirked. "I say we sit back and watch the show."
"Sounds good to me." Tala said.
------.....----
Hermione walked into the house in shock. Draco...DRACO actually had feelings foe her. She wasn't sure if she wanted to be happy, excited, or what. 'Hm. I guess it's not so bad.' She grinned. 'He's arrogant, hates my friends, and has hated me for 5 years...but he's a nice guy, funny..'
'...and cute.' Her now not so annoying inner voice said.
Hermione laughed slightly. 'Yea. That too.'
---.....-----
Sighing. Draco sat on the family room couch and buried his head in his hands. 'now what?'
'You could always.'
'Shut it.' He growled at the voice that for some reason would never leave him alone.
'Oh c'mon!'
'No! I can figure this out on my own!'
'...I am you...'
'...whatever...' He flicked on the TV and watched some show on MTV about celebrities getting pranked.
"What am I gonna do?" He muttered to himself. They were going back to Hogwarts in 3 weeks, so if he did end up with Hermione, then what would happen when they returned to school? He knew for sure Potter and Weasley would kill him. And he didn't even want to this about what was going to happen to him with his so called friends. No doubt they would know about his and Hermione's "friendship". Because Boris must have told his father by now, and knowing him he was probably ranting to every friend and family member, most of whom were Death Eaters, and parents of his friends in Slytherin.
"What are you watching?" Hermion asked, coming into the room.
"Punk'd"
"Oh..." She sat next to him, and sighed. "We're still going to be friends right?"
Draco looked at her strangely. "Huh?"
"Once we're back at Hogwarts. We'll still be friends, and you'll still be on the Order's side...right?"
"Yea...why wouldn't I?"
"Just..you'd be back with your Slytherin friends who hate me and I'd be back with Harry and Ron who hate you."
"Yea..." He sighed. "But I suppose we could just ignore everyone else and what they think." He smiled at her, as she smile back and threw her arms around his neck in tight hug.
'You should tell her now you know.' Oh joy, the voice is back.
'Shut up.'
The pulled back, and Draco's steel grey eyes, met her cinnamon ones.
"I'm glad...that we can still be friends." Hermione said quietly.
"Yeah..." Draco said, leaning forward slightly. "Me too...." He captured her lips in a soft passionate kiss.
Without thinking, Hermione responded. When they pulled apart, she wasblushing so much she was about as red as Tala's hair.
Draco searched her eyes for something, for what he wasn't sure, but he sighed and got up when he didn't find whatever he was looking for. "Sorry." He muttered quickly, before walking away.
"Draco wait." Hermione said quickly, getting up as well.
He stopped and turned to look at her, she was about a foot away from him. "I..." She trailed off.
'Just kiss him already!' Her inner voice yelled at her. Without another thought, Hermione pressed her lip against Draco's.
Stunned, Draco didn't respond right away, but once it dawned on him, he immediately deepened the kiss.
"Aaaww...the two love birds are finally together at last." Ian's voice said, causing them to break apart.
Draco glared at the midget, who grinned at him.
"Oh leave them alone Ian." Korimi said, coming in with Tala and Rei. "It took three months just to get them together and your big mouth will ruin it." She said jokingly.
"Hey Tal." Rei laughed. "Hermione is almost as red as your hair." This caused Hermione to blush even more.
"C'mon." Korimi said, rolling her eyes, and pulling Rei out of the room. "You've embarrassed them enough, and I want to get to Kai's house, before he starts the movie without us...see ya you guys!" Her and Rei left for Kai's house, with Tala looking like he would like nothing more than to follow them.
"C'mon twerp." Tala said, dragging Ian out of the room. "We've bugged them long enough."
"Aaaww but Tala!"
"You can work on that potion you've been so eager to make."
"...Ok!" Ian bounced upstairs to Tala's room, while the redhead followed at a slower pace, wondering what he had gotten himself into.
Hermione watched as her friends left her and Draco alone once again, when Draco had finally broken the silence between them.
"Uh...Hermione..." He said uncertainly. "I know... I haven't exactly been friendly with you intil...well...now...but...will...you at least give me a chance?"
Hermione smiled, and began walking into the kitchen, pretending to look thoughtful. "I suppose so."
Draco let out a breath that he hadn't even noticed he was holding. "Really?"
"Yea. Really." She gave a small laugh. "You're arrogant, conceited, and you hate my friends...but...you can be thoughtful at times...and caring...and cute." She giggled before leaving Draco alone in the room.
"She's been hanging around Korimi too long." He muttered to himself, grinning.
It was strange, a few monthes ago, he hated her, for all the wrong reasons. Now, he had a girlfriend, who was muggle-born, and he was going against his father, something he never dreamed of doing in his lifetime. He chuckled slightly. His life just got ten times more complicated, and for some reason, he didn't care. There was only one thing that sort of worried him. How were Potter and Weasley going to act? When they returned to Hogwarts?
'Telling them is defiantly going to be interesting.'
