The first meeting

Chapter 1

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little mudblood out late at night." Draco said to Hermione when he saw her down a dark corridor. It was rather late, well past midnight, but still Draco could see Hermione's curves. She had grown in over the years. Though Draco would never admit it.

Draco himself had also filled out. Quidditch was paying off and Hermione could see it even through his loose robes. He had a nice build.

"Well Draco seems you are too, so what brings you out so late?" Hermione asked with a grin on her face. She looked into those cold gray eyes, but they weren't cold, for a millisecond at least. As soon as he noticed they turned cold again.

Draco was quite surprised, he noticed she had called him Draco, not Malfoy, or ferret boy, as was accustomed by Hermione. He realized she was looking into his eyes for a truth, and he put up his guard.

"Granger, what I'm doing down here is none of your business. So why don't you leave?" Hermione thought about this for a second. She knew why he was there; she was just playing a mind game with him.

"Well Malfoy," He noticed that this time she called him Malfoy, not Draco. "I could leave, but that would defy the whole point of me being here. I have reasons to be down here, I'm meeting someone. Now what was your reason?" Hermione looked at him as if she could kill him, but he noticed her eyes were saying otherwise. Her eyes wanted him to stay, and not explain.

"Mudblood," this really brought Hermione out, but she refused to show that he was getting to her. "I' m meeting someone too…" Realization dawned on his face. Hermione just continued to grin.

She new why he was there, and he was going to find out, any second now. Where are they? Hermione was beginning to get frantic! Ron and Harry were supposed to show up now and curse Malfoy.

Hermione stole a look at her watch. It was 4:20AM; they were supposed to be there at 4AM. Hermione was getting scared and Malfoy saw it. Hermione quickly hid it and used her wits.

"Malfoy, I know why you are here, to meet a girl. A girl that did not leave a name. A girl who you can't wait to meet, but the girl you agreed to meet, was a mudblood. A girl standing in front of you." Hermione said very bravely. She was shaking and scared and just said what had come to her mind. It was true; she had sent him a note to meet her there at 4am on October 30th.

Malfoy's eyes went dark and cold.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. By now Hermione knew Ron and Harry weren't coming. They're master plan destroyed. It was all they're fault.

Malfoy came closer to Hermione speaking very quietly. "Well Granger, I knew one day you would fall to my charm. I just didn't think it would be so…" Her lips cut him off.

Hermione couldn't believe it herself. She didn't realize what she had been doing. She just… Couldn't believe what he was saying. How did he know if she didn't?

Hermione broke off and ran down the hallway back to Gryffindor common room. Hermione couldn't believe it; she didn't know what to do. She had just kissed her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.

Draco was still standing there dumb struck. He couldn't believe Hermione had just kissed him. He didn't understand it they were enemies… Enemies don't kiss each other; his mind flickered to a similar occasion.

Flash Back

It was early September, and he had also found a similar note to meet him there. He went were the writer had specified. He was thunderstruck when he saw the girl there. Her gorgeous smile, her long red hair, her chocolate brown eyes. He didn't understand. Why was his enemy there?

"Don't look so surprised Draco. It really doesn't fit you." The girl stated in a monotone. She looked bored and slightly tired, yet still stood strong.

"You? You're the girl who invited me down here? It can't be you, you hate me, everyone you know hates me, and you go out with Potty…" The girl laughed at the look on her enemies face. She knew it was all true. She also knew she was going to get what she wanted.

"Yeah, I know, I go out with Harry, everyone I know just happens to hate you. What's you're point?" Draco was not used to this girl. He usually saw her as timid. She wasn't at all, she was bold.

Before Draco was able to respond his enemy had her arms around his neck and was kissing him passionately. He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in still kissing her.

End Flash Back

Yes, Draco remembered that day quite clearly. He had enjoyed it. He would meet her once a week now. It was a big secret conspiracy. Though there was more, more that he didn't know about.

The Next Day

Ginny walked down to the Great Hall hand in hand with Harry. She knew it wasn't real, but she didn't care. She liked him a lot. When they took their usual seats next to Hermione and Ron, Ginny snuck a peak across the Hall. She spotted his platinum hair immediately. Ginny showed him a smile, and he grinned back at her. She then turned back to her conversation with her friends.

Draco saw Ginny and Hermione sitting together. Hermione wouldn't dare look his way, but Ginny had.

He loved this, playing Potty and Weasel. He already had Potty's girlfriend where he wanted her. Now Weasel's girlfriend would get the same treatment.

He loved this. He decided it was a good time to put his plan into action. He excused himself from the table and went to the Library to write a note to

Hermione.

Dear Hermione,

Last night was great. You were so bold! It truly impressed me. I hope sometime we can get together again. Just for a little longer this time.

Draco

P.S. Don't tell anyone about us.

Draco read and re-reads the letter before he sealed it and put in his bag. He would give it to her after Potions.

Potions

Hermione walked in and took her usual seat with Ron. Today they would be working on the truth serum, Veriteseum(sp? Help).

"Don't get comfortable," Snape drawled in his usual voice. He flicked him wand. "These are you're partners for the next two months, because that is how long it will take to finish this potion."

Hermione looked at the board shocked. Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger were partners. It would never work, but when Hermione looked over at Malfoy she saw his trademark smirk on his face.

She got up and walked over to him. As soon as Snape explained the potion and put the directions on the board they started.

"Here take this Mudblood." He said pushing a peace of parchment into her hand. "Read it later, but right now, promise to meet me tonight, same place, 2am?"

Hermione was thunderstruck, but nodded all the same.

Hermione couldn't believe what she had just agreed to. Oddly enough, she was excited; she wanted to see what Malfoy had to offer. Though she would never understand it. She assumed She'd just have to go see what he wanted.
