I have finally updated!!!! Please don't go into shock lol. I hope it's alright, it's been awhile since I've written in this story and it's kinda like making a whole new one (which is currently very likely.)

The new dorm's weren't as bad as Draco had thought they would be. His room was right across the hall from...her. He didn't know if it was a good idea yet. He'd tired to show her his softer side but she shot him down.

"Draco?"she called through his door.

She'd moved in the same time as he had. He'd helped her move and she'd repaid him by shutting the door in his face when the last box was unpacked. Not what he would have picked by a long shot.

"Draco, are you in there?" she called again.

"Yes, I'm in here." he answered, standing up to open the door.

She stood there, looking like a dream. She wore her pajama's, which consisted of shorts and a tank top, and slippers, which looked like rabbits. Her hair was pulled up behind her head in a horse tail, that was the right name for it, he was sure. He smiled, rather goofily if he would have been able to see it from her view, and stepped aside.

"Please come in." he said softly, inhaling slightly when she stepped past him, ink, parchment, old, musty books, and something that smelled vaguely like cinnamon sugar, something he enjoyed on toast in the morning. He liked it on her more though.

"I received this last night." she said, thrusting a letter at him, before he had time to at least try to steal a hug or kiss.

"What's this?" he asked, taking it from her and opening it.

He read the letter then looked back up at her. She was looking a bit nervous, she glanced over his shoulder, then to the floor, before her gaze rested on his book self. The letter was from Goyle, no doubt. He'd written it on his family parchment for goodness sake. Draco hadn't realized anyone saw or heard his talk's with Blaise.

"Do you believe this?" he asked, looking back at the letter, afraid she would laugh at him.

"I don't know." she answered softly.

"You know how I feel for you, I know how you feel for me! How could you even think that I don't feel the way the letter says I do? I've read your diary, I know you're half way in love with me already, I'll meet you the other half, Hermione." he said, throwing the letter aside and moving towards her, only to find her moving away from him.

"You've read my diary?" she asked, her eye's wide.

"What?" he asked, before rewinding everything he'd just said and analyzing it. "Crap." was all that came out. He'd picked up some language from her.

"You read me diary?" she asked again.

"Yes, but...."

"You bastard! How dare you go through my personal property! Why would you even do that?" she demanded.

"Well you wouldn't share your feelings with me, how was I supposed to know where I stand with you if you won't tell me?" he asked, seeing no flaw's in his reason.

"You could have asked me! You could have told me how you felt, not given me some cryptic message and expect me to sort it out! I can't believe you did that!" she spat at him, before pushing past him and storming to the door.

"Hermione, wait!" he said, grabbing her arm and dragging her back into the room. "You wouldn't give me the time of day! I thought you hated me, do you know how it feels to like someone and think that they hate you?" he asked, trying to get her to see his reasoning.

"Yes, Draco I do now. I've known for 5 years how it feel's to have someone you like look down on you like you're filth, like you don't deserve to be on the same planet with him! I didn't go through your diary to find out what you felt though, did I?" she asked fighting his hold but not succeeding in getting free.

Draco stopped what he was about to say and thought about her answer. She was right about that. She hadn't gone through his things to find out if he liked her or not, but that's what muggle's did. They guessed at life and love, not that he was going to point that out to her any time soon.

"Then we have to talk." he said, letting her go and casting a simple spell on the door.

"No, we don't. I'm going now. You can find out what I have to say by my diary." she said coldly, going to the door to walk out. Draco smiled when it didn't open and she pushed, spelled and yelled everything she had to get it to open.

"Yes, we have to talk. That's why I went to your diary in the first place, Hermione. You weren't talking to me." he said, going over to the door and lifting her up and set her down on his bed.

"Let me go." she said through gritted teeth.

"No, we have to talk."

"Fine, then talk." she invited him, folding her arms over her chest, getting comfortable on his bed.

"Hermione, you have to understand, this is new for me. I haven't liked a girl like I like you ever. Sure girls like me, but I've never liked them. All I had to do before was ask a girl something and she'd gladly tell me, or she'd tell me without me even having to ask. You're so different from what I'm used to." he explained hopping she would understand.

"You had no right to go through my things, Malfoy." she said, in her coldest voice yet.

"Please don't go back to using my last name, please." he begged, falling to his knee's in front of her.

He looked into her eyes and saw a spark of something, not anger and not understanding but as long as anger was ruled out he couldn't care less.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked softly, looking away from him.

"Because I have to. I need to, you.... I don't k now Hermione, I just need you." he answered before turning her face to him.

She looked down at him, her eye's held traces of tears in them. Draco closed his eyes briefly before opening them and moving closer to her. His lips brushed hers softly before he set his lips to hers in a gentle kiss. His tongue moved along her lips, hopping she'd take pity on him and let him in. He was rewarded when she leaned down and opened her mouth to him. He was surprised when her tongue snaked into his mouth but enjoyed it and returned the favor to her. Her arm's came around his neck and Draco stood slightly, his arms around her waist.

"I love you, Hermione." he said softly as he pulled away. She had to know that before he continued.

"I love you too, Draco." she answered before drawing him back into another kiss.
