do you people know where I can find a Rupert Grint screensaver? Wallpaper? I'm desperate, please tell me. If you are a Draco/Hermione reader read Dracolover666's stories, they rock. I might not be writing as often because I broke my foot and so I have to walk on crutches and they're already rubbing me raw, so I will have trouble getting to the computer. sorry.

R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! R&R! Seriously.

A Strange Romance

Chapter 4

Real Emotions

The first week of term went fairly well for Hermione. Ron, however, thought Dumbledore was on to them by giving them Potions, Flying, Transfiguration, and Herboligey with the Syltherins. Hermione thought Draco was avoiding her, she thought that it was more than just keeping it secret. Hermione had decided to do her homework in the Gryffindor common room all the time because of this.

"Ron?" she asked one day.

"What?" he said, looking up.

"I don't want to do the bet"

"Then you have to kiss Harry"

"Fine then, follow me, don't tell Harry though" Hermione started up the staircase to the boys dormitorys. Ron followed behind her, a look of aw on his face.

"Harry, I have to show you something, follow me" she said when she saw him sitting on his bed.

"ok" he replied, and followed Hermione to the secret room where Draco had set up that dinner.(A/N: in the last chapter, just in case any of you need reminding)

Hermione didn't know it but Draco had been hiding in the closet of that room every night, to see if she ever went to look for him, and he would surprise her. Draco saw Hermione enter but he didn't spring out, in case she brought somone along. He was right, Hermione brought Harry and Ron with her. He watched through the crack he had left in the door. His heart suddenly stopped, she was kissing Harry. Why is she kissing Harry! His mind screamed at him She kissed me last night, why is she kissing Harry! He watched as Weasley began to crack up in laughter when the kiss had ended.

Hermione bit her lower lip. why did I do that she thought but, the way his eyes lit up, it looked as if he was...happy, but, that does'nt make sense I heard him say it.

FLASHBACK OF HERMIONES

"Well I'm not going to kiss my best friend, so I'll have to take the bet" she said.

"Thanks, Hermione, you're a lifesaver, and I admire you, you always try to make your friends happy" he had said.

END OF FLASHBACK

So, either he lied, or he likes me, or he was surprised. she thought.

I'm getting out of here, hey Hermione, I'll be in the common room, I'll leave you to kiss Harry alone. thought Draco as he performed a spell as to make himself invisible, and crept out the door.

"uh, Herm, why'd you do that,"asked Harry.

"Because I'm not going to toy with Draco's emotions, that is just wrong, Ron, shut up" said Hermione, and with that, she left. Leaving Harry dumbstruck and Ron trying very hard not to laugh.

When Hermione arrived in the common room, she thought she heard a funny noise. She paused to try to hear better but the noise had stopped, so she shrugged it off and decided to read a book. She was busy deciding on a book when she heard it again, this time it diden't stop. She headed up the staircases in the direction of the noise, then she stopped. Is that crying I hear? she thought. Then she slowly pushed open the door to Dracos room and stopped.

MEANWHILE:

IN DRACO'S ROOM JUST, BEFORE HERMIONE WALKS IN

Why am I crying? I have'nt cried since I was three, it is just a bet, IT'S HERMIONE, why am I crying? thought Draco. He was sitting next to his bed with his arms on top of it. He looked at the picture he found in Hermiones room, and began to cry again. He let the tears flow freely as they splashed onto Hermiones picture, splattering the glass and frame and soaking Hermiones face. He heard someone enter his room but he did'nt care, he just kept on grieving as if she had just died.

"Er, Draco?" he heard Hermiones voice say tentatively, Draco didn't stop.

"Draco, what's wrong?" she said as she crossed his room to the bed. She sat down next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Get away from me!!!" he snarled as he jumped up from his sitting position.

"How dare you touch me! you kissed Harry! You fucken bitch! so just... just leave me alone" Draco ran out of the room as he said this, leaving the picture on the bed.

"oh no" Hermione whispered. She tore out of the room after Draco. But instead of going down the stairs, she went into her room. when she got there she wrote a note:

Draco,

I know your probably not going to belive this. But it was a dare, obviously Ron dared me to kiss Harry, if you don't belive me never speak to me again. If you do please tell me, we can work things out.

Love,

Hermione

Hermione read this several times before sending it off with her owl, she coulden't belive she just put "love" but was like a reflex. She hoped he would believe her.

ok ok i know it is short but I'm really tired so I'm going to bed, BTW it is 12:00 at night. I stay up at night for you people! please review
