'I can't keep this up!' Hermione thought as she speed walked from the great hall. She wanted to leave before Harry and Ron had the chance to talk to her. She had successfully hiden from them for the last two days. They knew some thing was wrong, The problem was, they couldn't find her. Hermione's first class was Advanced Double Potions. She sighed as she ran down to the dungeons.

Hermione peered into the class , Empty. Hermione went to the very corner of the class room, She was 20 minutes early. Hermione took out a quill, parchment and a blue bottle of ink. She was alone, yet again. Hermione looked down at her blank parchment, twirling her quill in her fingers.

"Well Miss Granger you're here early. I must say, I am deeply shocked to see you with out Potter or Weasley." Hermione looked up too see Snape come from his office. Hermione just nodded.

"Did you finally notice that you would be better off with out them?" Hermione sadly nodded.

"Why the sudden change?" Snape asked shuffling some papers. Hermione didn't reply.

Student after student began to fill the class, each and everyone ignoring Hermione. About 3 minutes before class started, Hermione looked up, Her heart sank. Ron and Harry were walking towards her. Hermione quickly looked down at her parchment, Panicking. Hermione shut her eyes and put her head in her hands.

'Please make them go away.' she prayed . Hermione felt some one sit beside her. 'I knew I would have to face them so-' Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by a muscular arm draped around her back, Hermione was pulled into him. Hermione-shocked, opened her eyes.

Draco smiled looking down at her, he moved a strand of carmle colored hair off of her face. He leaned his head down slowly and brushed his lips with hers. Hermione smiled fakely. Harry and Ron ended up sitting behind them.

"Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger, Please save that for your own time." Snap drawled turning his back to them as he began to write on the board. Everyone was watching.

"What's she playing at?" Ron whispered to Harry. Hermione could hear every word they said. Hermione dipped her quill in ink and began to write on a piece of blank parchment.

Thank you- She wrote as she slid it over to Draco's side. Draco dipped his quill.

No Problem, So how are you cooping Granger?- Hermione didn't respond, she just looked at the page, she felt horrible, lonely, unloved, hated. Draco looked into her contemplating eyes. He felt horrible for her. He just didn't have the guts to hate her any more. Draco raised his hand and began to soothingly rub her back.

"It's going to end up alright Hermione." Draco whispered in her ear.

Hermione half smiled and quickly kissed him on the cheek. She felt safe and some what happy with him. Draco was shocked, he didn't mind. For some reason or another… he actually liked it.

"Miss Granger, Have you heard a single word I have said?" Snape asked glaring at her.

"y….e…s.." Hermione mumbled.

"10 point's from Gryfindor for lying and a week's detention for showing affection in my class! Not everyone wants to see that." Snape mocked. Slytherins snickered but everyone in the class was very shocked.

"Hermione-mud blood-Granger has a boyfriend?" One Slytherin girl laughed.

"I know, Malfoy must be desperate." a boy responded.

"I can't wait to see what happens when his father finds out!" The same girl laughed.

"Professor, It was my fault, not Hermiones." Draco replied. A couple of people gasped, Draco Malfoy -Using Hermione's first name with out mud blood in the same sentence.

"Well then Mr. Malfoy, You may join her." Malfoy nodded and smirked. 'I finally can talk to her.' He thought.

Potion's went rather quickly, although not smoothy. Hermione kept messing up her and Draco's potion. She was so shocked at Ron and Harrys conversation. Hearing her two best friends talk…about that… it was just.. Weird. Hermione felt really bad. In the past two hours Hermione had found out that Harry liked her since fourth year, and a bunch of other stuff that made her feel like shit.

She was the first to leave to potions class room. Hermione ran her fastest to her next class, Muggle's studies. Draco smiled watching her leave. He was looking forward to their detention tonight. Draco crammed his notes. Quills and ink into his bag. He slung it over his shoulder and left. Not noticing Harry or Ron following him.

Draco headed to his next class, once out of sight of the Potions class Ron spoke up.

"What the hell did you do to her Malfoy?" Ron asked angrily getting In Draco's face.

"Well Weasley, I didn't do a damn thing, It is your fault Hermione hasn't been talking to you." Malfoy concluded.

"What do you mean?" Ron angrily spat.

" Hermione has feelings for me, she has since fourth year--" Draco began lying through his teeth.

"Ohh yes, Cause I'm sure bouncing Ferret's are attractive." Harry stepped in.

"Potter, your upset just because she doesn't like you. I heard your whole conversation in potions. And By the way Hermione looked at the end of class I'm sure she did too. Anyways, Back to what I was saying, I also have feelings for her, It was you two who drove her away. She knew you wouldn't accept our relationship so she ditched you two. We just started dating over the summer. So if your done, I'm now going to be late for my next class and-" Draco was interrupted by Ron slamming him against the wall by his throat. Draco looked at him boredly.

"Upset she doesn't like you either Weasel?" Draco sneered. Ron raised his hand and punched him hard in the eye. Draco narrowed his eyes. He raised his knee and kneed him in the groin. Ron fell to the floor clutching his… well…

"Don't you ever fucking touch or talk to Hermione and I ever again! Clear?" Draco told him in a cold tone. He raised his wand to Ron's face , mumbled something and left.

Draco headed to his next class, smirking at how well he just pissed Potter and Weasley off. Now to tell Hermione what he told them.

Longer chap, hope you like it.
