Last time on Diet Cola:

Hermione and Draco walked out of potions and said "did you see those looks Pansy threw at you and me?" she smirked and then her face when serious "DRACO!" he looked at her at the near yell of his name.

"Yes.......?"

"Well since Harry and Ron hate me I don't have to help them with their damned HOMEWORK! YES!" she exclaimed and did a twirl in the hall.

Chapter Five: A few sweet kisses

He smiled at her and said "yep" and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth.

he smiled a little at his warm lips wanting to kiss[*] him. But she thought better than to do so outside the Transfiguration classroom.

[*there a funny story about that word- I first typed it as "kill" and I was proofreading and I thought it was funny]

She and Draco walked into the room together. She looked at him and he looked at her and she raised and eyebrow as he was still just standing next to her waiting for her to sit down. He pointed a table where Pansy sat and whispered "I refuse to sit by her". She nodded and he took her hand in his and gently pulled her towards an empty table in the back.

They sat down together and Hermione looked at Harry and Ron who were passing papers to nearly everyone in the room. She accio-ed one that was laying on the floor in wonder, held it in her hands under the table and looked down at it. Draco watched her curious smile turn to a deep frown- sadness etched in her face as she read. Draco watched her slowly set the paper on the table and he saw tears now welling in her eyes as she picked her things up and got out of her seat.

"Hermione..." Draco said after her. She didn't stop, she walked out the door of the classroom. Draco took the paper off of the table and quickly read it while gathering his things. His eyes widened in shock as he read and he wanted to beat jerk one and jerk two up in the middle of the room but he knew that wouldn't help the situation. He took off out of the class room tearing down the halls looking for Hermione. He looked around for a moment and spotted her sitting on the floor in the corner in absolute sobs. He went to her and sat down next to her taking her into his arms saying "come 'ere Hermione dear, come 'ere"

Draco wrapped his arms around her and gently rubbed her back letting her sob as much as she wanted as he cooed softly. He re-read the paper over her shoulder, while she cried and he tensed a little as he thought about severly harming Potter and Weasley. No one deserved to be treated like that.

The sheet of paper read:

Join the Newest and Coolest Hogwarts Club!!! Burn Granger At Stake!!! She's been that snotty know it all brat for all these years! President Harry Potter If you hate Granger then this is for YOU! See Harry or Ron to join!!!

They had pictures of Hermione with red x's on them all over the paper as well.

Draco blinked in disgust at Potter and Weasel. He rocked Hermione gently in his arms, something picturesque it was. Had he not known what had happened and had Hermione started crying he would have done a very 'Malfoy' thing and left her to cry. But for some reason he was drawn to her and he wanted to be the prince in the fairy tales that saved the damsel in distress.

Draco gently rubbed Hermione's back and said softly "sweetie don't cry, don't let them do this do to, Hermione, I don't want to see you hurt like this"

Hermione's sobbing ceased in a moments time but tears continued to slide down her face occasionally. "Why Draco?" she asked blatantly and he gave her a bit of a confused look. "Why are you still here? Why are you being so damn nice?" she asked seriously and he looked a little cocky as he answered, "Would you prefer I didn't?"

She tilted her head a little bit and said slowly "No.... but why?" she asked again. "It matters not now does it? I told you I'd be here for you and I intend to be. I knew that this would happen in some way eventually, you cant trust guys like potter" he said honestly

She looked down and whispered softly barely audible to him "thank you" Hermione's hand was resting against draco's chest and her other arm was wrapped around him, hugging him. One of his hands was gently entwined with her hair and the other was caressing her robed arm. A tear slid down Hermione's cheek and Draco leaned in slowly and kissed it away. He pulled away a little but then kissed her soft cheek again. She smiled as he kissed her on the corner of her mouth and he pulled away a little bit. What the hell was he doing? She smiled and put her hand up to his cheek and kissed him full – on, on the lips. He kissed her again after they broke apart and he felt her smile against his face. The kissed once more and Draco smiled at her gently.

Hermione laughed a little and spoke first. She tilted her head to the side again and said "and I thought that you didn't 'really' like me Draco Malfoy"

"Oh I like you well enough" he said smirking and kissing her on the lips again.

They heard voices growing louder down the hallway and people were coming. Hermione sighed and looked at her watch, saying "Dammit! I'm going back to the common room- I hate these robes. Besides I'm not hungry, I'm going to go running around the lake."

Draco nodded at her and said "mm... you're right, the Great Hall doesn't sound very welcoming. Can I join you?"

She smiled kissed his cheek and said "yea". Both stood up and began walking in the general direction of the loft. Draco spoke the password and they walked up to the loft.

~*~o~*~o~*~o~*~

Draco stepped out of his room in basketball shorts and a wife beater. (A/N: is it really called wife beater? :P) Hermione was lying on her back on the floor doing crunches in a black sports bra and black cheerleading shorts. She didn't even glance at Draco as he watched her smiling. She stopped after a moment and stood up. "Lets go?" she asked him after looking at him for a second.

They left the castle and walked to the lake where they both started running and talking about whatever came into their heads. After a while both were sweaty and ready to go inside. They went in and get ready for the rest of classes.

Hermione emerged her room after taking a shower wearing black eyeliner and mascara, about 20 rubber bracelets, and her grab was black down to her shoelaces. Her shirt bared her midriff and she had her robe on over it.

Draco raised an eyebrow in his normal uniform. He smiled and said "hey sexy" seductively. She crossed the common room and wrapped her arms around him hugging him. He smiled a little and said "wait a second- I thought that YOU hated me Ms. Granger"

She looked up at him and said "I' don't, I actually kind of like you" she smiled and kissed him on the lips.

Draco smirked at the way she repeated what he had said.

A/N: I'm sorry I'm a bum :-P. I looove you all!!
