Hermione woke up by the door hitting its rim. She felt uncomfortable and weird, and a bit dirty, she hadn't taken a shower in three days! She felt her hair and looked at her hand in disgust. She got up and went to her bathroom, she got undressed and started the shower, she got in the shower and started washing her hair.

in the common room

"Did I say that you two could come in?" Draco said coldly.

"What are you doing to Hermione?!" Ron said full on anger and hatred.

"We know your doing something to hurt her, now out with it!" Harry said with disgust.

"I don't know what you are talking about I am doing nothing wrong!" Draco said with anger in his cold eyes.

"Don't give me that crap!, I saw you two the other night though the window! You two were crying, then you embraced her and kissed her!" Harry said to Draco as he was so disgusted with him want to punch him. Hermione came out of the shower she walked into her room and heard people yelling, she put her ear on to the door.

"You are trying to get her to fall in love with you and turn her down!" Ron said coldly.

"Where the bloody hell did you get that from!" Draco said with anger.

"You kissed her, I saw you two, You are only to kiss someone you like, but you hate Hermione!" Harry said with hatred in his voice and pushed Draco and he pushed back. She heard that and change fast and listened. She heard a punch and another. She got scared and ran into the room to stop them.

"STOP!, just stop!" Hermione yelled as she jumped in front of Harry and Ron.

"Hermione, get out of the way." Harry said coldly.

"No. You will not hurt him anymore!" Hermione said with anger in her voice and sadness in her eyes. "Now get out before I take away points!" She said with anger. She bent down and hugged Draco who was now on the floor with a black eye and bloody scratch on his cheek. He looked at her and looked away and blushed, she was really close to him, close enough to kiss him. They left with that and glared at Draco and slammed the door.

"Are you OK?" She said as if she cared.

"I am fine." He said cold as ever. She looked at him and looked away.

"Draco I don't care what they said. Its not true, is it?" She said hoping for a certain answer. He just looked in to nothingness with sadness in his eyes. She got up and reached out a hand to help him up. He looked at her hand then her, he took the hand and got up. He brushed himself off and tried to go to his room but Hermione stopped him, by grabbing his hand. He looked at her with soft but confused eyes.

"Draco?" She paused for a moment. " Can we talk......About each other, so we can get to know each other more...We are going to be living together?" Hermione said faking and smile. He looked at her and thought about what she just said.

"Sure." He said sounding a little happy. "Why do you want to talk?" He said wondering

"I had to make sure of something. "Hermione said uncomfortable. She looked at him and blushed, just a little. She was hoping he wouldn't ask what she need to make sure of, but he did.

"What do you need to make sure of?" Draco said like he didn't know, but he did. They both sat on the couch. Hermione ignored what he just asked.

"Tell me something about your self." She said calmly. She was looking straight into his blue-grey eyes.

"Ummm...sure, OK." He said while thinking. Hermione couldn't help but do nothing but stair at him. Why, is he being so nice, I need to get him to say it, and why did he kiss me and hug me , why aren't his eyes cold and bitter anymore, and why he did fight back to Harry and Ron. He's skin isn't so cold and icy looking anymore too, its now warm, soft and peach-ish. He looks really cute like tha-Whoa what am I saying - I mean thinking! (Her inner voice)" Oh you know you like him." the voice said very truthfully." I do not!" Hermione yelled at this little voice in her head." Oh please you kissed him back, when he kissed you, if you didn't like him in the first place you wouldn't of kissed him, and then we wouldn't be talking!" The little voice said as if she was enjoying this fight, Hermione was still starring at him. Then he started talking.

"Umm, well I like to read." He said with a smile

"Oh, what I am sorry I was thinking. What did you say again?" She said with a 'sorry-for-that' look on her face. He looked at her and said.

"I like to read." He said with another smile. "I saw you looking at me, were you thinking about me? "He said with his famous smirk.

"Oh no I wasn't." Hermione said while shaking her hands and blushing again. He laughed.

"Why are you being so nice to me Malfoy?" Hermione asked with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?" He asked very plainly.

"Out with it Hermione, come straight forward." The little voice said.

"First you see mean naked when I was in the shower, Then your parents die and you kiss me and fell asleep on me, you say sorry to me for the first time, and then you get in a fight with my to best friends and didn't even fight back! "Hermione said in one breath. "I want to know WHY you did all that for!?" Hermione said get angrier at him by ever sec. He looked at her in shock and looked down, his hair was covering his eyes, his hands clutching his pants. Hermione stood up and looked at him. "So?" Hermione said angrily. He stood up and let go of his pants. He looked up at her and smiled.

"My parents." He said while smiling trying to hind the pain. He looked down again.

"Malfoy I didn't mean it that way." Hermione said as all of the anger went away.

"No its OK, I know what you meant." He said faking a smile. She sat down next to him, He looked at her, she was really close to him and she was blushing because of it.

"My dad is gone so I can finally be my self, no longer will have to be like him." He said as he looked at her with his soft eyes. "So now I can be friend who ever I want and...like who ever I want too." He that while looking at Hermione and blushed a little bit himself. Hermione smiled at him. "See he even likes you. The voice said. "Ask more questions." The voice said.

"So do you believe in true love?" She said as blushed.

"Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't." He said while smiling at her. "Do you?" He asked her with his smirk.

"Yeah." Hermione said while she lend back so that her back was the a pillow she arched her neck and closed her eyes. He moved closer to her.

"Do you love any one right now." Draco said doing exactly what she did. Hermione though to herself. Oh no he didn't just ask me that. What am I going to say? "Tell him the truth." The voice said. But that's the thing I don't know the truth.

"I think so but I don't know if I really do or not, I just need you get his trust and he needs to get mine." She smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Well we have class tomorrow, so we better go to bed." He said tiredly. He looked at her and held a hand out. She looked at the hand and took it. He pulled her to him and hugged her. Hermione was in shock, but she held him close to her as if it was Harry or Ron. He turned around so that his back was facing the couch, he looked at her and she looked at him, and to his surprise she kissed him they fell on the couch and the couch fell backward. He kissed her back and to tense the kiss by holding both her hands, and pushed his tongue in to her mouth. "Go Hermione Go Hermione." The little voice said while giggling. Hermione shot her eyes opened with fear. she jumped up from him and just looked at him. He looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?" He asked like he wanted more.

"I don't know it doesn't feel right." He got up and looked at her.

"How can it not feel right, you're the one who kissed me." He said happily. She looked him, He had moved so close that when she looked up there noises were touching.

"Uhh-." Hermione was cut off another kiss given by Draco when she opened her eyes he was standing there looking at her smiled, he walked to his door.

"Good Night, Hermione." He said lovingly. He shut the door. Hermione looked at his door and smiled for awhile. Whoa! what? He called me Hermione." Yup he did." The little voice said preppy.
