CHAPTER FOUR!

Hermione and Draco are sitting in the car listening to My Chemical Romance.

"Hey who sings this?" Draco asks

"Its My Chemical Romance, they rock don't they?" she replies with out even thinking about it

"Yea they do, muggle fashion might be behind, but the music is way cooler than ours is!"

"Yup, I have the CD, I could burn it for you, but the you would need a CD player." she states

"I could buy one! " he says happily

"Ok,well will get one at the mall!" Hermione answers

They sit the rest of the way to the mall not speaking but just listening to music. Occasionally Draco would ask who sung the song on the radio and Hermione would answer, but that would be it, until they got to the mall. At the front doors of the mall was one of the girls from the group that Draco had talked to earlier. When she saw him again her eyes got all big and she rush into the mall to go find the other girls.

"Oh no, they are here." Hermione said as once she was sure it was one of the girls.

"Oh no, who's here?" Draco asks

"The pack of wild girls." she said and then started to laugh at her joke.

" Hey! that's a good one!" he answered while still laughing hard

The two of them snuck into the mall and tried not to be spotted by the 'pack of wild girls'. But they were unsuccessful. They almost got to the food court and there they come, giggling and staring.

"Crap" was all that Draco could get out of his mouth

"We have to think of something, and quick." she said

As the girls we getting closer and closer Hermione and Draco moved quickly into the long lines from the food court.

"I think we lost them." Draco said with relief

While Hermione and Draco were standing in line for food Draco spotted them again

"Quick! Turn this way!" Draco says in a loud whisper

"Why?" Hermione asks

Draco takes her chin in his hand and turns it slightly so she can see the group of girls.

"Oh!" she says with a sigh,"That's why!"

They walk away from the girls but Hermione was losing sight of Draco in the big lines of people.

"Draco! Draco! Where are you?" she said. Then she heard his voice not sure what he said or where it was coming from. She searched the crowd frantically, no Draco.

Then some one grabs her left arm. She looks to see none other than the leader of the pack of girls.

"Hello, I'm Kily. You have been running from us all day!" Says the leader of the group.

"Hello." Hermione says timidly. " Well I thought you were stalking Draco!"

Hermione hears some of the girls murmur. "Draco is a sexy name!" or " Its so exotic!" Hermione smiles at this thought as she just realized that so many girls back at school are going to be so jealous that he is living with her!

"Yeah, so do you guys live around here, we have never seen you here before, and we know like every one!"Kily asks

" Yeah we both live here now it used to be just me but the its a long story, he lives with me now and we go to a, um... a bording school i guess you could call it." Hermione answers

"HERMIONE! HERMIONE WHERE ARE YOU!" shouts Draco.

hermiones head whips around and as she spots Draco so do the girls, all she hears from them are a large sigh of their souls melting at the sight of him mixed with jelousey.

"Wait hermione, i have one last thing to ask before you go back to him,"Kily asks, " is it true?"

"Is what true" she asks confused

"That he has loved you scence the day he met you but that his father thought you had a bad backround or something like that so he had to act like he didnt know you?" she said in one breath.

Hermione with shock apparent in her face. " no i never knew that, i didnt even know he liked me, until he talked to you guys and said that i was his girlfriend..."

" You mean your not his girlfriend?" Kilyasks in confusion

"No, at least not that I know of!" Hermione answers

"Well then we should ask him!"Kily says

"DRACO! DRACO WHERE ARE YOU WE HAVE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!"Kily shouts

"Wait!" Hermione says as an attempt to stop her but she failed.

Seconds later she sees Kily dragging Draco over towards her by his shirt sleeve.

" What is this all about?" Draco asks in confusion

"Well, seems that there is a little something that you haven't told Hermione and lied to us about." Kily answers him

You could just see it in his eyes, he was thinking,'Oh shit, don't do this to me, not yet!'

"Why did you lie to us about you being her boyfriend?" one of the girls from the pack asks

"Well... you see.. I.. well...I um..." he says as he tries to think of a good excuse

He looks at Hermione, it wasn't one of his casual looks that he has been giving her all day, it was more intense,she didn't know how to explain it.

"Oh just spit it out!" the same girl from the pack says

"Ok, god. Yes it is true that I like Hermione, a lot, but no she isn't my girlfriend." he admits

After he said this he acts as if all of his pride were just sucked out of him, for he was not used to admitting his feelings for one person.

"Ok there that wasn't so hard now was it?" Caitlin says, Draco gave her a death stare, she stepped back a little.

" Well now our work here is done and we have a curfew to meet so well will see you guys later then!" Caitlin said and then her and the pack walked out of the mall.

Hermione who was still in shock was standing there with her mouth slightly open and she was staring at nothing.

"Um.. Hermione?" Draco says with concern

She says nothing

"I have to talk to you so please follow me."

After he said that she snapped out of it and was right on his heels asking a million questions. Draco is ignoring them all until they reach a empty hallway in the mall.

"Draco! Answer me!" She says

"Just shut up and listen to me!"

After hearing this Hermione was a bit appalled.

"I do like you , a lot. I have liked you from the moment that I had my first class with you. I always loved that bookworm that would come out of you. I just never showed it because one I was a slytherin and you were a Gryffindor, and second because of my father. if he knew I liked a muggle born he would beat me." Draco stood there for a minuet before Hermione spoke.

"I'm not a muggle born..." she mumbled

"What?" he almost yelled

" You heard me I'm not a muggle born, mudblood what ever."

"But your parents, they are muggles aren't they?"

"Yes, well no." She replies
