Taking no notice of the curious stares she got from the others students that were very late to their lessons, Hermione continued on her way. All flushed from running, she quickly halted to a stop in front of one Draco Malfoy.

"What do you want?" Draco sneered, putting up an act for their audience, who had now totally forgotten about their lessons and instead were crowding around them in a deadly silence.

A wicked smile came upon Hermione's face as she stared into his eyes. Going up on tip-toes she brushed her lips against his earlobe and whispered, "You". Their audience gasped, each and every one of them looking baffled at the scene that play out before them, eyes widening even more when Hermione kissed the golden trio's second worst enemy first of course being Voldemort.

Draco, who had just pulled back from Hermione's lips, looked at their shocked faces. "Maybe here isn't the best place" he stated worriedly, so unlike the normal tone he used.

"Actually I think it's the perfect place" Hermione smiled, wickedly.

Returning her grin, he voiced a question he never thought he would say, "What made you change you're mind?" Hermione shook her head at him; Draco looked at her confused again. "You didn't change your mind?"

"I changed my mind, yes, but I'll tell you later" she told him, taking one of her hands from his shoulder to gesture at the other students, who were intensely watching them.

Just as Draco was about to shoo them off, Professor McGonagall came charging down the hall, shouting at the top of her voice for them all to get to their classes.

"Obliviously not the perfect place" Draco muttered, grabbing her hand and dragging her in the opposite direction. Only he had to stop when the Professor called out again.

"MR MALFOY RELEASE MISS GRANGER AT ONCE!" she commanded, coming towards them, looking furious.

Draco cursed while Hermione giggled uncontrollably. Staring at her strangely, Draco asked "shouldn't you be nervous, or scared, or something? I mean you do know that we are very late for potions andshe isn't going to let us off easy". This just caused Hermione to giggle harder and more uncontrollably.

"DIDN'T I TELL YOU, MR MALFOY TO UNHAND MISS GRANGER".

Deciding to see if it was possible to make Hermione giggle even harder, Draco looked at Professor McGonagall with the most innocent expression he could muster. "But Professor do I have to?" glancing at Hermione as she burst into another round of giggles.

Meanwhile Professor McGonagall looked even more furious. "I'M STARTING TO LOSE MY TEMPER MR MALFOY" she shouted, now going all red in the face.

"Are you sure you haven't already?" Draco asked a defiant smile present on his face.

"RELEASE HERMIONE!"

"Why? As far as I can see I'm doing nothing. Just holding her hand is all" Draco said raising his and Hermione's tightly entwined hands, with a smug smile on his face.

Getting control over herself, Hermione added "Really Professor I'm fine. Now we must go to class, them disorderly students have already made us very late".

Narrowing her eyes Professor McGonagall stared at their hands again, then back up to Hermione's face, which was very sincere as always. Nodding her head at them she waved them off "Yes, yes you two go to class, but Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy try not to cause a riot". She smiled as they turned and walked towards the dungeons.


Outside their potions classroom Draco hesitated and pulled Hermione away from the door. "Maybe we should just go to our next class because this one is going to be finishing soon" he gazed at Hermione, trying to will her into his way of thinking.

She refused. "No Draco. Our next classes are different this is the only class I have with you today and I have to tell Harry and Ron with you, otherwise I won't bother to tell them". Hermione told him, standing her ground.

Knowing he had lost the argument, Draco sighed as he allowed himself to be hauled into the classroom by a suddenly very strong Hermione.

As soon as they went in the classroom went even more silent then it was already. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM AGAIN, HERMIONE?" Ron shouted noticing their hands as McGonagall had done only a few minutes earlier. "LET GO OF HER MALFOY" Ron shouted at Draco.

Draco sneered at him. "Or you do what weasel?" Draco asked menacingly ignoring the warning glance Hermione gave him.

"I'll show you what I'll do!" Ron lunged at Draco bur Hermione got in the way. "Get out the way Hermione" Ron said quietly.

She shook her head and took out her wand. "No Ron I can't let you hurt him and I can't let him hurt you. Now me and Draco need to talk to you and Harry outside". She pointed to the door as she said this and Harry, being helpful, started to lead the way out and strangely enough Snape didn't protest.

Once outside Ron blew his top again but decided against shouting, so instead he harshly whispered. "What are you doing with our arch-enemy Hermione?"

Watching him, Hermione eyes shined. "Don't be stupid Ron, Voldemort is our arch-enemy. Draco is just a person that used to make fun of us" she said, crossing her arms in the process.

" Dracostill does make fun of us!" Ron claimed, throwing his hands up in the air as he paced in small circles.

Hermione turned to Draco, who nodded his head in confirmation. "Can't you lot just grow up, we are leaving this school in eight months and still you can't act civilly to each other" she shouted at all of them.

"When I started going out with you Hermione I never said I would try and get along with these wimps" Draco said pointing at the two other members of the 'Golden Trio'.

"Wimps, us wimps" Ron shouted pointing at himself and Harry "you're the wimp! And you're stupid! I mean you do know the only reason why Hermione would ever go out with you in the first place is because she would want to make me jealous".

Hermione looked down at the floor. "Don't you think that if that were true, we would have announced our relationship? So you could actually know about it and be jealous" Draco said.

"Draco Ron's right" Ron smirked while Draco looked distress "well that was the truth at first but then I got to know you and being with you made me realized that Ron's like a brother to me nothing more". When Hermione had finish Ron was the one looking distress and Draco was with his normal smirk.

"I guess I'll have to forgive you because to be honest at first I was just using you for sex" Draco laughed.

"Pretty dishonest start to the relationship wouldn't you say?" Hermione considered, Draco agreed.

Harry and Ron were looking at the two with wide eyes "YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO FORGIVE HIM?" Ron shouted, disbelieving.
