Chapter three

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any of its characters, settings, etc, even though I wish I did!

Hermione couldn't break up with Draco.

"Draco…what am I going to do!" she asked softly. She got up, and sat down on the bench overlooking the rest of the Hogwarts' grounds and the lake. The sky was darker than ever, the stars glowing more than they had ever before.

Tell me that it's over

Tell me that it's over

Over….

Don't tell me this…

Draco sat down next to her, and looked at her face. It was all red and splotchy because she had been crying. Those honey brown eyes had lost their glow. He needed to find out what was wrong. Malfoys don't find out what's wrong, but he didn't care about what his father said at the moment.

"Love what's wrong?" he asked again softly.

She turned around. "I've lost everyone. My two best friends hate you Draco. I tried to tell them about us tonight, but all they did was argue with me. My parents just said, Oh MY GOD, when they got their letter. They thought I was high on the stuff muggles call marijuana or something … My grades have slipped…I don't know, my life's a mess…."She cried.

Draco looked into those eyes one more time. They were dull. Those two orbs of light were never dull.

"Love, it's okay, your parents were bound to find out anyway. Weasel-Ron and Potty- I mean Harry, what did they say? I told them to back off a few nights ago." He answered quietly.

Hermione let a tiny smile flicker on her face. "Thank you…"she said softly, and fell asleep in the arms of someone who loved her, not hated her.

Hermione woke up that morning, in a midst of silk green sheets. This was odd, she thought. She rolled over, and saw the back of Draco. She poked it.

Grunt.

She hit it.

Louder grunt.

She punched it.

"Jesuchristo." Draco yelped and rolled to face Hermione.

"Love," she asked sweetly "what am I doing in your dorm?"

He blushed. HA HA! He blushed! "Well, you see, you fell asleep in my arms yesterday, and no one else was up….and I couldn't wake you. I don't know your house' password, what was I going to do? Leave you up there to freeze, leave you to be hexed down in my common room , or leave you here?" he said, thatdarned sweet smirk on his face.

"The common room couches are quite comfy though…" she started but was silenced, by the sweetest, and first for her, kiss.

Kisses from Draco where incredible, she soon began to realize. They were light, at first, like whispers, but slowly became more and more intense, like raspberries. She put her arms around him. One hand got tangaled in his hair. My god, the stuff was softer than silk…she began to realize.

Down at breakfast, Ron and Harry were still in shock.

"Look over there, Harry." Ron said, aticked off voice rising.

"She's sitting with thatidiot." Harry said, looking over to the slytherin table, stating the obvious. He poked at his pancakes with his fork, not knowing that there were approximently 23 girls staring at him, with hopeful eyes.

One girl's conversation:

"My god Becky, look at him! So hot, my god, look at his hair. It's so, I don't know, hot ! And did you see his abs the other day? When he was flying in his quidditch match? Lord, I nearly died, they're so muscle like!"

"Marietta, duh, they're um, abs. Did you hear about him and Granger? Granger's going out with Malfoy, and apparently, he nor Ron were to happy to hear!" Becky said.

"I'd got out with either one of them! They're sexy….."

"So Ron, what do you reckon we do?" Harry asked, dumping more marmalade on his pancakes.

"I don't know mate, I think we should just back off." Ron said, as Alicia sat down next to him.

"Morning Ronny." She said sweetly.

"Alicia, I'm sorry, but it's over." Ron said and got up, and left the Great Hall. Harry soon followed, hearing tearful cries.

"Gin, he's just dumped me!" Alicia said, crying into her hands.

"Alicia, you were Ron's only girlfriend other than…oh." Ginny said, and then ran to the Gryffindor tower. She climbed the stairs two at a time, needing to ask her brother something.

"Draco you know what's today right?" Hermione asked. He was holding her hand, as they walked out of the Great Hall together.

Draco leaned over and kissed her cheek. " 'Course I do love. Hogsmeade awaits us! Harry and Ron coming too?" he asked.

Oh my god, Hermione thought. How do I tell him?

Thank you for all the reviews on this story and the other one I wrote. I appreciate it! I know this chapters kind of short, but I want to get to my other story too!
