A/N: I know, it's been a while. Band and school together are going to kill me. : but I'm updating now, when I should be studying for my tests.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

Last time on DC:

Draco looked her Hermione with her eyes closed breathing lightly and he felt something in the pit of his stomach that he had never felt before with her. It was different and the difference was intriguing. Draco got goose bumps and he wanted her more then ever right now.

Draco was in love with Hermione.

Chapter 12: L is for...

Hermione slowly fell asleep on Draco's chest but Draco, on the contrary, spent the night sleepless and lost in his own thoughts. Had he even been tired, he wouldn't have been able to sleep.

Hermione had a dream about Draco. About her love. It was sweet, and cheesy at the same time. Draco asked Hermione to run away with him and they left everything behind and ran away to Italy. They never looked back, because all they needed was each other.

Draco, meanwhile, sat up thinking about his feelings for Hermione.

This is love, he thought, love, finding more happiness in sleeping with someone without sleeping with them. Draco wasn't a slut like everyone thought, he had standards. He looked at her and his breath caught in his chest. He felt so vulnerable. Everything he knew was just out of his mind. Love. It was a new word for Draco. For once he had a relationship where he wanted nothing more then to be with her. With Pansy it had been about the sex and the money. She never wanted to make love and sleep with him. All she wanted was sex; she'd climax, get dressed and leave. He loved Hermione. Not only that, he respected her. Draco let a smile grace his lips as he looked at Hermione.

He glanced at his watch. 5:37.

For some reason Draco felt compelled to wake her. Both of them had about an hour and a half to pack and get down to breakfast.

He shifted a little and kissed her ear. She fluttered her eyes open a little and smiled. He kissed her again and smiled.

"Hey" she said

"Hey, babe we've got to pack"

"Kay" she smiled and shifted to get up.

xoxoxox

"Draco, hun, eat something"

"Nah, I'm not really hungry" he replied looking at his love.

After eating breakfast the cutest couple ever, walked hand in hand to the train and found an empty compartment near the back of the train. Though most were in fact empty they liked the back.

Hermione sat across from Draco and pulled her legs up onto the bench in a cross-legged fashion. Draco was disappointed that she wasn't sitting with him. He wanted to put his arms around her and tell her that he loved her.

"Hermione..." he said softly after a moment

She looked up and raised an eyebrow in an answering fashion.

"Come sit with me" he said placing his hand against the seat next to him.

Hermione smiled and nodded. She uncrossed her legs and got up and sat next to him. He put his arm around her waist and she leaned against his shoulder a bit. She turned her head a little and leaned up to kiss him.

He smiled and said "I love kissing you Hermione"

"The feeling is mutual" she replied softly. She reached for her bag and pulled out a book the she began reading. As Hermione read, Draco got an idea.

xoxoxo

They arrived at the train station and Mrs. Malfoy was pleased to see Draco with a friend. When they stepped off of the train Hermione shivered a little and said "Bloody 'ell, why the fuck is it so cold out here?"

Draco took his jacket off of his shoulders and put it around hers. She kissed him on the cheek in thanks before Mrs. Malfoy came into view.

They drove to the Malfoy Mansion and at first sight Hermione thought that it was a castle. It was huge. And gorgeous. Draco took Hermione's and his own things into the mansion and took Hermione around showing her the house.

"And this, is your room" he said pushing a door open. It was right next to his.

Hermione sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to her for Draco to sit. He sat and smiled. He scooted up against a pillow and drew her close to him.

She smiled and leaned her forehead against his.

"Thank you Draco, I love you"

He leaned his face close hers and said "I love you Hermione"

A/N: Yes, that's right I have finally updated. Now this probably wasn't worth the wait was it? Its getting slightly fluffy and that's making me mad, so I am currently in the process of rewriting a lot of DC from chapters 13 to 30. This is veryvery time consuming! Till next time!
