Chaper 5- Flying and an Ooops!

"Ok so you can sit in front of me and I will hang on to you," Draco said, mounting the broom.

"You know I'm kind of having second thoughts on this…" Hermione said. "Like I said, I hate heights!"

"Just don't look down!" Draco motioned for her to come over. Hermione stood, thinking, 'Why am I doing this?' and she walked over to him. She sat on the broom and he put his arm around her waist.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Hermione asked him, with her eyes closed as they took off.

"I have no clue, I never did this before!" Draco said with a laugh in his throat. He also noticed that Hermione had her eyes closed. "Mi, would you open your eyes? The view is great. And try to clear everything out of you mind. Just relax."

"I'm perfectly fine with my eyes closed, thank you very much."

"I'm serious, Mi. Just open them."

She did. And when she did, she saw the most beautiful thing ever.

(A/N- Sadly it wasn't Draco she saw! –laughs- sorry, my note!)

She saw the lake, the mountains in the distance, Hogwarts' grounds, everything. The wind practically took her breath away at the sight. With the moon shining on everything, everything was so… so… peaceful. She sighed and didn't even notice herself lean into Draco a bit more than she already was.

Draco smiled when he saw her reaction.

(A/N- the 'good thoughts' are going to be underlined! Just so you know!)

'I should of done this years ago. She can REALLY use the relief. Wait… what am I saying? This is… Granger! MUDBLOOD Granger! No, don't call her that! Well, can I help but speak the truth? Maybe so, but you did invite her YOURSELF! True, but I still have the right to hate her. Right, but let's recap on this morning, you asked her if she slept well, you asked her to be your partner for Care of Magical Creatures, and now look at where that kindness lead you. Kindness? KINDNESS! What the hell do you mean kindness? Oh and don't forget the DATE tomorrow with Hermione. OMG I forgot that! Maybe I can cancel. Uhh… no. Look at her. She happy. All she needed was someone to… let her relax. And you showed her that! I didn't realize this damn mess I got myself in. Great, now everything is getting all messed up. I have enough crap to deal with in my life, like Parkinson; for example, she is getting on my last fricking nerve! And you told her to clear everything from her mind… pul-ease! Duh! You should do the same! But I… No, no , no buts! Clear your mind! Especially of Parkinson! NOW!'

"Draco, you ok?" another voice said.

"Huh?" he answered, shaking his head.

"Are you ok?" Hermione asked again.

"Oh, yea," he nodded.

About half an hour later, Draco said that they should go in. it was getting a bit cold out too, and Hermione cheeks were pink from the cold.

"Why didn't you tell me you were cold?" Draco said, putting his hand to her face to warm her up.

'See, look, you are so sweet to her! Will you shut the hell up? Alright, fine!

"Draco," Hermione said, walking awfully close to him.

"Hm?" was his reply.

"Thank you."

"No problem. If you wanted, would you go again?"

She nodded.


(At Hogsmaede…)

Hermione sat, reading her manual and waiting for Draco to show.

"Seat taken?" a voice came. She looked up and saw her blonde friend, standing with a smile on his face. She smiled back and shook her head.

"No."

"You want some Butterbeer?" he asked her.

"Yea, here," she handed him some money.

"No, I got it!" he walked to the counter.

"Not too busy I see!" another voice said. It was Ginny, along with Harry and Ron and his girlfriend Britney. "Who are you here with?" she spoke again, eyeing the extra notebook next to Hermione.

"Oh… uhh…" how can she explain this to them?

"There you go!" Draco said arriving at the table placing the Butterbeer in front of her. She noticed that he gave a slight glare at Harry and Ron.

"I'm here with Draco," she told them.

"Uhh… Mi, can I we talk to you, over there?" Ron said, pointing toward an empty table. She nodded. Ron, Harry, and Ginny pulled Hermione quickly away from Draco and Britney so they were out of earshot.

"Mi, are you crazy?" Harry said.

"Not again! You guys, look. He and I are working on the school events. Will you chill! It's not like we're on a date or something!"

She heard Draco's voice in her head 'So it's a date?'

"No, it's not a date," she quickly said trying to convince them that is wasn't a date.

"Hermione," Ginny said, "it's Malfoy!"

"So?"

"The point is, is that it's… Malfoy!"

"Yes, and you're Harry, Ron, Ginny, and I'm Hermione. Now that we all know eachother… I don't know what the big deal is!" Hermione was on the verge of getting mad at her best friends.

"Mi, just why are you here?" Harry said.

"Because, he's my friend. So deal with it!" and to that, she walked back to Draco. "You can go back to Ron now," she said to Britney.

"What was that about?" Draco asked her.

"Uhh… they just wanted to know if I was going to hang out with them after we are done with this…" how can she put this?

"Date?" he finished.

"Yea, this date."

"Ok, so I was thinking that we could have a Halloween Ball, Christmas Ball, and a Going Away Ball," Draco said.

"Uh huh," Hermione answered.

"And I was thinking that we could tie Potter to the ceiling and hit him with sticks and shout 'pinata'!"

"Yea… wait what?"

"Just making sure that you are paying attention. You looked like you tuned out."

"No," she shook her head. "I'm just not feeling too good."

"Are you ok? Do you want to go back to the castle? Do you want me to help you?"

"No," Hermione said getting up and running for the door. Once she got to the Heads' dorm, she ran to the bathroom and threw up.

"OMG," she said to herself. "I DO like him!"


(Walking back from her patrolling…)

Hermione was about to round the corner when she heard screaming coming from the inside of the Heads' portrait. She entered the common room and there stood Parkinson and Draco.

"What are you doing here, Mudblood?" Parkinson asked her with a rude tone.

"Excuse me, I live here, if you don't mind," Hermione answered.

'I can't believe I'm going to do this… but it will get rid of Parkinson,' Draco thought running to Hermione and grabbed her arm before she got to the stairs.

"This is what she's doing here!" Draco said to Parkinson.

"Draco, what are you-" she couldn't finish because Draco pushed her against the common room wall and planted his lips on hers. They could hear Parkinson gasp in the background. The 'kiss' lasted for about thirty more seconds when Draco pulled away and said to Parkinson…

"That's what she's doing here. Now, unless you want to see us go further, I suggest you get out! NOW!"

"No," she said.

"Fine, watch," Draco said. "I don't care." He took Hermione's lips to his again and they both heard Parkinson crying and head out the door. Draco pulled away.

"Uhh… thanks," was all Hermione said.

"Yea," he nodded.

"By the way, you do realize that she can just go and tell the whole school what she just saw?" Hermione said.

"Ooops," was all that Draco said.
