Author's Note: Hey people. Thanks for the reviews! I got about the amount I expected. Sorry to keep you waiting, but I have never written this kind of chapter before, so it took some planning. At first, this chapter may not make sense, but keep reading, it will. I know some of my phasing may be weird too, but I am typing this with only two hours sleep, so I am a little disoriented. Hope you enjoy!

Draco had been setting his books down by the couch, when he was suddenly pushed rough onto it. He landed face up with Hermione on top of him, her hands tightly around his neck.

Before Draco had time to react, Hermione let go of his neck, cupped his face in her hands, and started to kiss him hungrily. With Draco being a red-blooded 17-year-old, all thought was erased from his head about Hermione and started to kiss her back, just as hungrily and passionate, putting one hand on the small of her back and one on her face and kept them there as he concentrated on nothing but the kiss.

Hermione paused for a brief second and then started nibbling at Draco's earlobe and then giving him kisses down his jawbone.

Bloody Hell! Draco thought, slightly panting. Where did Granger learn to kiss like this?!

Hermione went back to his lips, kissing him as she did before, but then she started to slow down. The kisses were soft, gentle, and caring. Draco had never been kissed like this before. All of his kisses he had ever had had been out of lust, like this one had started, but being kissed like this from Hermione made the now familiar feeling in his gut exploded! At the shock of this, Draco quickly rolled off the couch so Hermione was hurled off of him, and landed on the floor with a thud.

Draco quickly stood up and looked down at her. She was unconscious at his feet. That could mean only one thing. The potion had done its job and Hermione had just shown her deepest secret.

When he was thinking about the potion, it dawned on him. Granger had kissed him! And he had kissed her back! This was NOT happening. His lips were probably contaminated for life because she was a Mudblood. He really hated his teenage hormones at this moment of time for being swept up in the lust he felt.

Draco paused, then smirked. He had just comprehended a second thing.

"That was her big secret," he said. "She was likes me! She wants me! Well, I can't say that I blame her. I can't wait to use this against her." Who would have thought that Granger would ever want a guy, especially him? And that she could kiss like that. That had been one of the best kisses he had ever had. The first have of it anyway. He paused, thinking. Something wasn't right.

The kiss he had gotten from her was more than just lust. It had started with her chocking him before. It was obvious what that meant. So she wanted to kill him, no big deal. It used to happen all the time. That wasn't a real surprise. But that was before the kiss. It meant more than lust. So she hated him, wanted him, but liked him, maybe even loved him too.

"Revenge will be sweet!" Was the conclusion Draco made with this thought. He looked down at her when he said this, but simply realized that he wouldn't be able to tell anyone what had just happened. It wasn't just because it could potentially ruin his repetition as much as hers.

When he thought about it, if people found out that they have kissed, then he probably never be able to get the Malfoy name in a respected light ever again.

The reason he couldn't tell was the way she looked in her sleep. She was so peaceful, beautiful, angelic and. . . .

"I can't be thinking what I was thinking! I can't. . . . have feelings for Granger. That is just wrong!" But he knew that he did.

Against his will, Hermione had attracted him to her. Girls had thrown themselves at him. They bent over backwards to get his attention, and he didn't even give them a second glance. But Hermione had done absolutely nothing to try to get his attention, and he couldn't seem to get her of his head. Life seemed so screwed up!

Before he could think his feelings through all the way though, Hermione started to stir. Draco thought fast.

Kneeling down, keeping a good foot away from her, Draco started trying to talk.

"Granger, are you o.k?" He asked with indifference in his voice.

Hermione moaned and opened her eyes. She couldn't remember how she got on the floor. The last think she remembers is walking towards Draco.

"What happened?" She groaned.

"You were coming over to help me with potions and you collapsed," Draco keeping a small smirk on his face. "I hope I don't have to take you to the hospital wing. I have a paper to write."

Hermione looked around, rubbing her head. She felt all right besides a dull headache.

"No, Malfoy, you don't have to take me," she said, then added sarcasm. "But thank you for your genuine concern. I think I will be fine."

Draco smirked on the inside. He couldn't deny that he liked her sense of humor. She still had it even after she had been unconscious.

"That's good Granger. Now, will you help me or not?"

"Fine, but I am not letting you copy off my essay."

"I wasn't even thinking of that. Who do you think I am? Potter and Weasley?"

At lunch that day Hermione was deep in thought. She didn't understand why she had passed out. What had happened? Was she working herself to hard? No, she had concluded. She had been working this hard in almost all of her years at Hogwarts. She didn't know whether she should dwell on it or not. It just happened once. If it happened again, then she would be worried.

"Hey 'Mione, what are you thinking so hard about?" Harry asked her. Ron turned to look at her at this.

"O.k. guys," she said, deciding to tell them. "Don't blow this out of proportion, but this morning I passed out in the commons room, and I can't figure out why, but there are many possibilities."

"Your okay, aren't you?" Harry asked her, putting his hand on her back, looking slightly worried.

"I am fine now, I promise."

"I bet Malfoy did something to you!" Ron growled.

"Ron, calm down!" Hermione said. "When I passed out, I was looking at Malfoy's back. His wand was on the table on the other side of the room. He couldn't have done anything to me."

"Why are you defending him?" Ron asked suspiciously.

She was positive of what she had just said was true. Even if she had no proof either way if he did anything to her or not, she would have said he was innocent. Maybe her feelings for him were manipulating her answer. She didn't know.

Hermione answered him. "I know he didn't do anything. I don't want to blame him when I know that he is innocent, or as innocent as he can be for a jerk," she added with a small smirk.

"O.k. Hermione, as long as you are fine," said Harry.

Everyone went back to lunch, but Hermione continued to think about it. She didn't let things go to easily.

******************* What did you think? Just in case you are wondering, this story will have absolutely no sex in it. Please review and tell me what you think about the story. Please don't review saying I made Hermione a slut or something. She kissed Draco like that because of teenage hormones that had been building up inside of her. The potion made her show this feeling of love towards Draco with no holding back. Even Hermione would have feelings like that while unbridled.
