Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything that remotely has to do with it! I do however own the idea…as dumb as it is…I do take credit for it…lol.
A/N: Okay this chapter is a little bit cliché…ok it's A LOT cliché but what can I say? I needed a romance so I hope you don't mind! R&R and thanks to all reviewers!! You guys are so nice and thanks for clearing up the spelling of Zabini…sorry 'bout that I was so confused…thanks! Ttyl!
Last time on Secrets We Keep!…"He's just so hott but I can't make up my mind…is it wrong for a girl to be fickle about the man she wants? I mean Seamus is adorable and very sweet but Ron has that innocence to him…" Blaise read.
"Innocence? HA!" Seamus yelled angrily. Ron blushed. Blaise cleared his throat and continued.
"I couldn't tell whether to murder Mr. Valentine or to kiss him. He may have been the most clumsy detective I had ever met but really he could be quite spartatic!" Blaise read confusedly.
"LUNA!" Everyone complained.
"Sorry! Jeez! It would have been a good story though!"
Now on Secrets We Keep!…Blaise continued.
"Harry's been getting closer and closer to Ginny and I keep telling him to back off. I should really be looking for a date to Hogsmeade before even Hermione finds one before me." Hermione turned to Ron with a shocked and angry face. Ron gave her an innocent smile but she turned back to Blaise with a hmph.
"I was thinking of Lavendar but I doubt she'd want to go…her and Dean seem to be hitting it off…" Blaise trailed off as he was interrupted by Lavendar.
"You want to go Ron?" Lavendar asked with a grin.
"Sure." Ron said with a grin.
"Aww…how cute…" Blaise said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes as he looked through the book more.
"Whoa this is interesting…" Blaise said with a thoughtful expression as he read the page.
"What is it?!" Hermione yelled getting irritated.
"Hold your horses Granger." Blaise said waving a hand at her dismissively.
"She's beautiful, you can't hide beauty like hers. Her soft skin and bright brown eyes, top of her class, a guy would have to be out of his mind not to at least notice her. No man can deny when he finds a woman attractive." Blaise stopped as he turned to Draco who stared at him without an expression.
"Especially Granger." Blaise finished with a smile.
"No one wrote that you fruit cake!" Draco finally snapped as he glared at Blaise.
"Come on Malfoy so what? There's nothing else, I had to liven it up a bit…besides it's not like what I said was a lie…" Blaise said with a smirk.
"You're nuts!" Draco said as he tried to leave the group.
"You said it yourself Malfoy, no man can deny when he finds a woman attractive. Not even you can. So just admit it. You got the hotts for Granger." Blaise said simply. Draco stopped walking and slowly turned to glare at Blaise.
"Stay out of my life and try focusing in on your own for once…you have plenty there to keep you busy." Draco sneered.
The crowd watched from one to the other except for Hermione who was lost in her thoughts.
"How would you know no one wrote it if you didn't say it?" Blaise asked quickly.
"Zabini I'm warning you…" Draco began.
"Come on Draco, anyone can see it! You talk about her constantly, not to mention the looks you two give one another in class, and the insults, my god are we past kindergarten or not?" Blaise was cut short as Draco dragged him out of the group and into an empty classroom where everyone quickly rushed over and pressed their ears against the door to listen.
"Zabini you've gone WAY to far with this!" Draco yelled angrily. He had forgotten he didn't put a silencing charm on the room in his anger and was screaming loud enough for the entire Hogwarts to hear, whether they had their ear against the door or not.
"I'm just telling the truth. Why not? She knows it from your journal anyway…not to mention it was getting pretty damn boring out there…" Blaise continued to explain.
"Listen, if you're getting bored then STOP! I don't need you to drag my love life into this in front of the ENTIRE school! Especially with Granger right there!" Draco yelled angrily.
"I'm just trying to help you Malfoy." Blaise said while hiding his smirk.
"Yea well the next time you get the bright idea to bring our private conversations into something, don't." With that Draco opened the door and found everyone standing there whistling as their eyes wandered around the room at anything and everything but Malfoy. As some people backed away Hermione was left alone in the front.
Draco sighed cursing himself for not thinking of a charm. He tried as quickly as he could to leave the area and made it most of the way down the corridor and around a corner before Hermione stopped him. No one followed because Blaise wouldn't allow it.
"They'll be making out in no time anyway." He said confidently to the remaining crowd. Most of the Gryffindor's looked disgusted and it took Ginny and Lavendar to keep Harry and Ron away for the moment.
"Malfoy!" Hermione yelled just before grabbing his arm and making him stop.
"What do you want Granger?" Draco asked calmly without looking at her.
"You're not even going to talk to me?" She asked while trying to look into his eyes. Draco sighed as he turned to face her.
"About what?" Draco asked smartly.
"Did you mean it?" Hermione asked slowly. Draco didn't answer.
"You are…kind of cute I suppose." Malfoy said looking away from her. Hermione gave him a light snort at his joke.
"Thanks but that's not what I meant." She began as Draco nodded.
"Me either." He said pointing his gaze at the floor.
"Did you mean it?" He asked suddenly after a moment's pause. Hermione looked at the floor as well.
"Only if you did." She said with a smile as he looked up and so did she. Their eyes met as he studied her.
"Alright listen Granger, hypothetically speaking…" He began pointedly. Hermione nodded.
"Let's just say…yea I do have the…the hotts for you…" Draco said with a cough.
"How would that go over…with you?" He asked again looking at her. Hermione put on a fake thoughtful expression as she tapped her chin and her eyes wandered to the ceiling.
"Hypothetically?" She asked, looking back at him as he nodded. Her gaze turned back to the ceiling and she nodded as though making up her mind. She turned back to him.
"I would say…hypothetically…I feel the same way and that I've been thinking about you for a few years now. I'd also say that whatever insecurities you feel about Ron and Harry can go straight out that window because they'll get over it. Why do you ask?" Hermione asked sweetly.
Draco stared at her with his mouth slightly open and his eyebrows arched in surprise.
"So, you wouldn't be at all surprised if I kissed you right now?" He asked leaning in. Hermione looked at his lips before a smile spread on her face.
"Not in the least." She whispered before backing away before their lips met.
"But we're only being hypothetical and I won't build a relationship on…" Hermione was interrupted as Draco's lips crashed into her own. When their heated kiss broke Hermione stared at him blankly. Draco rolled his eyes.
"I got the hotts for you Granger." He said finally and she smiled.
"I know. Me too." She said before letting him go and walking away.
Draco walked back to the group with a smile and Blaise quickly ran to him with a knowing grin.
"Shut it Zabini." Draco said pointing a finger at him, with a smile on his face and then grabbing the journal before heading down to the Slytherin common room. Everyone scattered, no one ever saw that black journal with the red binding again. They say if you listen closely you can still hear the crumpling of the pages in the hollow of the night as Mr. Valentine walked corstaneredly to his love. "LUNA!"
THE END! Sobs
Well? Tell me what you think of it…although characters are OOC and it really doesn't make much sense but it was a fun little fic that came to mind…idk when…I guess when I saw the previews to "Love Letter" not even sure if that's the title but it looked interesting…still haven't seen it…anyway, hope you liked it, this was the last chapter and good night! Thanks to all reviewers!!
C-E-F-Y
