I do not own Harry Potter

Draco woke up in Hermoine's bed, his arms wrapped around her. He sat up quietly and took in the scene. He got out of the bed as quietly and quickly as he possibly could. He opened the door and walked back to his room. He went into the bathroom and turned the shower on and undressed himself. He stepped into it; a lot was on his mind, as usual.

The beads of water fell down his chest as he heaved a sigh and ran his hands through his hair. He re-capped what happened last night, and thought that maybe it was a mistake to kiss her. Now she's going to think we're an item, he thought. Stupid Malfoy, he lectured himself.

He stepped out of the shower and changed. I suppose I should go wander around Diagon Alley and think about this, Draco thought while lacing his shoes. He was finally ready to go and walked down the hallway, past Hermoine's door. He didn't walk past it fast enough though, because he turned back and looked in to an empty bed. "She must be getting dressed" he mumbled while turning around and leaving the hotel.

..Back in Hermoine's room..

Hermoine woke up to find the room empty. That's funny, she thought. I thought Malfoy stayed here last night. She shrugged, and then the events of the kiss came back to her, and what he had said. She re-capped it in her memory.

"What are you doing, Draco?" she asked. "Something I've wanted to do ever since the moment you said you'd be here for me no matter what."

And then he kissed her. That shouldn't have happened, her mind groaned. She felt that kissing him back was possibly the worst thing she had ever done. She dragged herself out of the comforts of her bed and walked towards her trunks. She picked out a black skirt and red tank-top for the day.

She walked into the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth. She got dressed quickly. She really had to talk to Malfoy. Draco! She scolded herself. Not Malfoy, Draco! She would treat him like an equal now. She couldn't believe she was having this argument in her mind.

After she was fully dressed, she walked through the hotel looking for Draco. She shrugged and stalked out into the pathways of Diagon Alley. It was crowded as usual, but she didn't expect it to be so lively at only 10 in the morning. She sighed. She was never going to find him.

She walked down the street until she came to a shop that she didn't recognize. It was bright and colorful and looked fairly new. She walked in and rand the bell on the desk. Fred Weasley popped up from what seemed to be a trap door and Hermoine shrieked. He smiled broadly at her and pulled her into a hug. He squeezed her tightly and finally let go.

"Oy George, get up here. We have a visitor" Fred yelled towards the floor. George popped up. "As long as it's not that insufferable git, Malfoy" he mumbled. He then saw Hermoine and also smiled at her and hugged her.

"Hermoine, what are you doing in Diagon Alley? Is the whole family here?" George asked. Hermoine shook her head. "I need some time alone before going back to Hogwarts, but I haven't exactly succeeded in it" she said. Fred furrowed his brow. "What do you mean?" he asked, while the clinging of a bell from the door rang. Fred and George sighed.

"Hold on a minute Hermoine. It's obvious that we need to talk," George said. "Lee, get up here and take over cash, we need to talk to Hermoine," Fred yelled to the floor once again. Lee popped up. "Hermoine's here?" he questioned. He looked to the other side of the counter and saw the bushy haired girl standing there. He waved and smiled at her as the clinging from the door continued and the shop filled.

"We'll be back in a while, Lee" George said, and led Hermoine to a room in the back which turned out to be a lounge. The rooms were a violent shade of orange and there were many pieces of furniture around. Hermoine looked around in awe. "We have an apartment upstairs" Fred added.

Shesat down on a squishy couch in between the two twins. "So why did you need some alone time?" Fred ask, concerned. Hermoine sighed. "Everything has been a living hell. Ever since Sirius fell through the veil all Harry does is mope. Then, earlier while I was staying with Ron, well ummm he confessed that he's loved me for the longest time. And I know this may sound strange, but I loved him too at one point. But then things changed and I think of him more as a brother then a boyfriend."

The twins nodded at the same time. "We understand" they said and urged her to go on. But she couldn't continue. She was thinking back to that day at the burrow. A glazed look came over her eyes.

..Flashback..

Hermoine was sitting on the cot that was in Ginny's room, reading over Hogwarts, A History for the twenty-third time. She was counting. She heard a knock on the door. "Come in" she mumbled, loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear her.

Ron walked in looking flustered. Hermoine smiled at him which made his ears glow scarlet. "Hermoine, I erm have to ummm tell you something" Ron said and gulped nervously. Hermoine closed her book to signal that she was listening. He tugged at his collar. Is he hot? She wondered.

"Well I ummm this is hard for me to say but...I love you Hermoine Granger. I have for the longest time" he said with pleading eyes. Hermoine's book dropped from her hand. Oh no, she thought. What do I do? I don't love him anymore. He could have had his chance, but everything's changed. This isn't right.

Hermoine fled from the room. It was just too much for her to take. "Hermoine!!" Ron called after her.

..End of Flashback..

Hermoine straightened herself up. She hadn't talked to Ron since. She had contacted her parents and asked them to pick her up as soon as they possibly could.

"Ok so we understand now why you wanted to be alone, but why did you say that you haven't been succeeding?" Fred asked. Hermoine hesitated. She didn't know if she should tell them about the Malfoy thing, but what the hell!

She told them the whole thing and as she imagined, both twins gasped in shock when she told them what had happened. They were both speechless. "Which is why I've been trying to find Draco, ugh I mean Malfoy. We need to talk about what happened" Hermoine said, frustrated. The twins nodded and stood up.

"Sorry Hermoine, but we have to get back to work. We can't leave Lee out there by himself, but if you ever need someone to talk to one of us will always be here." They each gave her a hug good-bye and she walked out of the store. She turned to walk back towards the hotel when she saw the pale boy with the ice blue eyes and blonde hair.
