A/N: I'm sorry for the wait but here is the next chapter I hope you like it.

Chapter 9

Just then she heard a rustle behind her.

"So finally realised it was me then?"

Hermione turned around to see the beautiful silver eyes that belonged to Draco.

"Draco…Hi" Hermione said never taking her eyes of his. She never noticed before how beautiful his eyes were. She always used to think his eyes were grey and cold but now, all she could see was silver and warmth.

Hermione opened her mouth to speak, but Draco interrupted her.

"I know you worked out who I was. I mean you're smart how could you not? But I also saw the look on your face when it finally dawned on you. When you finally realised that it was me.

"It was the look I have been dreading since I realised my feelings for you, and since you started coming into my dreams and trying to find me. I'm not going to make this situation any harder, by asking how you feel about me. Im just going to leave and hope that one day, you will see the real me, who you've been writing to and not the Draco that you thought you knew."

Draco turned around suddenly and walked away, leaving a very shocked Hermione. Hermione was shocked about the whole thing. The fact that it had been Draco she had been writing to, the fact that it took her so long to realise that it was Draco. She was trying to process all that information and what he had just said.

Hermione decided to take a slow walk back up to the castle to think about things and maybe find Draco to talk to him.

She wasn't sure what she was going to say but she hoped that it would just come to her, words had never failed her before so why should they now?

But finding Draco was harder than she thought. It had now been two days since the day by the lake and she still couldn't find him. Anytime she asked a Slytherin where he was they would laugh at her and walk away, or they would call her a mudblood and just tease her before she decided to walk away. Either way it was impossible to find him.

She still didn't know what she would say to him, but she knew how she felt. She still dreamt about him. A lot, she still checks behind the hour glass every time she goes by. But every time she leaves disappointed, and without a letter in her hand, that was until the end of the second day.

She had gone for a walk by the lake hoping that he might be there, when she noticed it.

Dear Hermione

I know we haven't seen each other since you found out it was me, who has been writing these letters to you, but I want you to understand that its not you. I understand that the things I have done to you in the past are unforgivable. I am just sorry that I didn't realise how I felt until it was too late.

I hope that some time in the future, you can forgive me for all the terrible things I have done.

Yours always and forever

Draco

Hermione folded up the letter and put it in her box, which was full of all the previous letters Draco had sent.

She wanted to see him so bad, to tell him that she had already forgiven him, to tell him that she didn't care what the past Draco did to her. All she cared about was what he could do to her now.

Hermione decided to write him a letter in return. If she couldn't see him at least she could talk to him.

Dearest Draco

I have been trying to find the right things to say to you, hoping that I would see you, to tell you in person but im guessing that's not going to happen. I am sure that if you did not want me to see you that I wouldn't be able to. So I am going to tell you in this letter instead.

When we first started too write letters, I was a little bit apprehensive about it all. I wasn't sure of what to think, but then I started to get to know you, the real you, and I felt things for you I never thought were possible.

You said that day by the lake, that you saw the look on my face when I realised that it was you, and that it was the look you have been dreading. I am sorry if I looked disappointed or angry or sad, because the fact is I wasn't any of those. I was a little confused. I never thought you would even think twice about looking at me and thinking about me, the way you do.

You could have any girl you wanted in this school, and you know that. I was just confused as to why you would want me. I mean I am just the plain girl no one thinks about.

I hope that I haven't disappointed you in the way I acted, I was just shocked.

Well I must go now. I hope that I will see you soon, if not I hope to get a reply from you soon.

With all my heart

Hermione

Hermione put the letter behind the hour glass and hoped that Draco would come and find her, or at least reply to her.

Hermione was sitting in the great hall eating her lunch when a humming noise started to come from her cloak.

"Err Hermione why are you humming?" Ron said with confusion on his face

Hermione looked up at Ron "Im not Humming, why would I…?"

But then she seemed to realise something and smiled. She dove into her pocket and pulled out a little coin. At first glance it looked like a Knut, small and bronze, but when Harry and Ron looked closer it had a compass on it.

"Erm Hermione?" Harry asked not taking his eyes of the small compass.

But he never got an answer. Hermione took off, without saying goodbye.

She wasn't looking where she was going she was just following the point on the compass.

Hermione knew that Draco wouldn't want to read the letter in public and would more than likely take it back to his room. So she cast a little charm on the letter, which linked it to Hermione's compass, so that when ever the letter was moved and wherever it was taken Hermione could follow.

She followed the point of the compass down to the dungeons and then it pointed straight to the wall.

On the wall was a picture of Salazar Slytherin with a snake in his hand.

"What do you want mudblood?" Salazar said with a deep menacing voice.

"I… I need to speak with Draco. Could you let me in?" Hermione was unsure as to whether or not he would let her in.

Salazar looked her up and down. "Not without a password" he growled

Hermione thought about it for a second. Most Slytherins had one track minds, glory, greed and power. So the password had to be something to link with one of them.

She was just about to say 'mudblood' as the password as the portrait swung open. Pansy was stood in the door way staring at Hermione.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Pansy asked with disgust on her face.

"It is none of your business why I am here, just move out of the way" Hermione attempted to push her way past and when Pansy wouldn't move she pulled out her wand.

"Petrificus Totalus" Pansy's legs and arms immediately snapped together. She was in a full body bind. She fell backwards and you could see were her eyes moving.

As it was still dinner there were not many people in the common room. The only ones in there were obviously scared of what Hermione could do to them, so the stayed away and let her do what she came to do.

Hermione watched the compass and saw that it pointed to the second set of staircases. She followed the point to the very top of the stairs to the last door. The last door had the initials D.M on it. Obviously with him being a Malfoy he got to have his own dormitory.

Hermione stopped outside of the door, and gently and quietly opened it a little. She saw that Draco was sat on his bed, with the letter in one hand and his head in the other.

Draco let out a very loud sigh. "What am I going to do Neo?" Hermione was wondering who he was talking to when she heard a little hoot come from the other side of the room. Draco was talking to his owl.

Draco shook his head a little and stood up. He walked over to his desk and put Hermione's letter away.

Hermione saw this as her chance.

She walked in closing the door quietly behind her; she walked behind Draco and slid her around his waste, feeling his perfect abs as she did. He turned around to see who it was and before he could say anything. Hermione's lips had found his. She was kissing him with all of the passion she could feel. It took a few seconds for Draco to realise what was happening, but when he realised that Hermione was kissing him. He returned the kiss, pulling her closer to him deepening the kiss.

Both had the same feeling. Like nothing else mattered, that the only thing worth thinking about was, being with each other. At that specific moment they felt as though they were one, two soul's intertwined as one. Perfect.
