Diclaimers: see chapter one


Hermione she mindlessly played with her food as both Harry and Ron went on and on about Quidditch.

'Why do they like flying around on their brooms so much' she smiled as she remembered the time her and Draco had flew on his broom stick.

He had frightened the life out of her. But she hadn't had that much fun in ages, that she had to admit

Her eyes scanned over the Slytherin table. Trying to find the handsome, blond boy that went by the name of Draco Malfoy. 'There he is'

He too, was playing with his food, staring out into space. Their eyes suddenly met and she found herself looking into grey orbs.

He gave her a weak smile, and then turned away to comment on something that Blaise had said.


"Damn these books to hell" Hermione muttered to herself.

She couldn't believe they didn't have her favourite book. They apparently had run out of copies. This was meant to be a library, in a bloody Wizard school for god sakes.

'Oh, god I'm beginning to sound like Ron'

A slight chuckle whacked her out of her thoughts.

She spun around, finding a familiar platinum, blond boy standing very close to her.

He smirked at her surprised face, and leaned in close to her ear sending lovely shivers down her spine when he spoke.

"My, my, Hermione, damning books now are you? Never thought I'd see the day" Draco drawled, giving her a one of his dazzling smiles.

Hermione growled, a low rumbling in her throat as she looked deep into his amusement filled eyes.

'They're windows to his soul. I wonder if I'm the only person that notices that, but then again they probably only open up when he is around me'

She was distracted by a constant waving in front of her face.

It was now that she noticed that his lips were only a mere couple of inches above her own.

'If I just -'.

'No! We are in public and we've broken up'.

'I will never be close to him again' she realized dimly.

Hermione looked back up at Draco to find him staring at her strangely as if he wanted to say something back couldn't. Pushing these thoughts aside she quickly found her voice and whispered "see ya later, Draco". She rapidly stepped away from him and proceeding toward the doors.

"I love you" he whispered back. She turned around only to find he was gone.
