Thanks for your reviews everyone! Also someone asked if this was like a Cinderella story, nope it's not, before that movie came out I had already written a few chapters lol. Anywho thanks again :)
"I wanted to talk about our 'feelings' there and then, but you rejected me, so I had to go find myself a prize as you might call it, something to boost back my ego. So I found her, the little Ravenclaw girl called Nancy. She might have been in her fifth year but it suited well with me"
"We talked Nancy and me, I invited her back here, she knew what it was I was implying, so we came back, and then you appeared outside your door… you stopped me Hermione!" he almost shouted in frustration.
"Me? How? You asked me if I was leaving, which I wasn't but you assumed I was, and I didn't want to stay and listen to you with your 'prize'" she said angrily.
"I saw you, I remembered our conversation! And others we've had over these months" he shouted but then quietened down as he sighed, she looked at the red blanket on her bed as she continued to listen, "Hermione, something isn't right about me anymore" he said softly.
"What do you mean?" she asked curiously, "Hermione" he lightly chuckled, he turned away as he began to touch a few of her things, looking at photos, clothes that were scattered on cabinets, etc.
"If I had not met you the way I have, I would have just slept with Nancy for the fun of it, I wouldn't have cared for your feelings or any other's, I would have just done it and left her… but… I didn't do it because of you… I strongly care for you now… and it's just crazy" he then turned to her.
"Why is it crazy?" she asked, he turned to her in disbelief, "You don't think it's crazy? Sworn enemies suddenly just fall for each other due to a computer and a keyboard?" he sniggered, she looked away knowing he was right.
"I hate myself for having such feelings for you, I've spent my whole time at Hogwarts despising you, and now it's changed! Hermione, I can't stop thinking about you and it's driving me wild!" he said quite annoyed with himself.
"I found my courage to come and tell you, I felt no shame in doing so, but you shot me down badly Hermione, I thought I did a great thing then, if others had found out what I had done, do you think I'd last here? I don't think I would!" he explained.
He stared deep into her big hazel eyes, he found himself weakening, "I can't even look at you without bloody butterflies swarming my stomach" he said angrily yet some what softly, she looked down at her hands as they fiddled with a pillow.
He approached her bed slowly, she stared in worry, he placed himself on the bottom on her bed, and he stared at her, admiring her natural beauty.
"Draco" she hesitated, "Tell me now Hermione… tell me if you feel the same as I do… but if you tell me you don't, I shall leave you, for good" he told her.
She avoided eye contact, for his icy blue eyes now somehow enticed her whenever their eyes met, she felt the warmth of his hand be placed over hers, she stared at him and thought.
"It's not so simple Draco" she told him, "If I do feel the same as you, do you really think we could actually be together?" she asked him, he nodded, she arched her eyebrows in disagreement, "No Draco, we couldn't be!"
"Yes we could!" he testified, "We just keep it secret" he said, "I suppose we'd act like a couple when in this dorm… but outside, we'd just be cruel to each other, like always?" she asked him, and he nodded to her comment, "Sorry Draco, I don't want a relationship like that" she informed him.
She tried to slide off her bed to go leave him, but he grabbed her arm, "Take your hands off me Draco!" she demanded, he shook his head, "No".
She tugged her arm away and tried to jog away, Draco got onto his knees, still on her bed, he managed to grab her arm again and pull her back onto the bed, she fell backwards and landed on the bed on her back.
"What are you doing?" she shouted, he leaned over her, his hands pinning her arms and body down, "I want an answer Granger!" he told her, "No Draco, I don't want to be with you!" she screamed at him, "Liar!" he shouted.
"You've been crying over me Hermione, you've been crying because you thought you had lost your chance with me, you thought I slept with the Ravenclaw!" he shouted yet a little more quiet then the first.
She remained quiet, she just stared up at his face looking down at her, "I had no shame in explaining how I felt, and that is a great step for a Malfoy, admitting to a mudblood how he feels… why can't you have no shame and just tell me?" he asked her.
She still remained quiet, she couldn't help but feel shame, she felt shame for having feelings for Draco, the boy who's teased and taunted her for years, the boy who made her cry.
"All I ask of is an answer Hermione" he said softly, "If I say yes, this will just continue!" she said a little teary, "Hermione, you cried because you thought your chance with me was lost… this is another chance to regain what you missed the first time… don't throw this one away" he warned her.
He was right, she knew he was right, but she just couldn't bring herself to tell him, to his face. "No" she lied, "I don't believe you" he said a little annoyed, "Well it's the truth!" she spat, "Since when did the ever so good Hermione lie?" he chuckled mockingly.
"Oh just get off me you… you…" she shouted but then lost for words, "What? Ferret? Gorgeous ferret?" he grinned mockingly, "How can I ever be with you when all you do is taunt me? It's more likely to be a joke!" she shouted at him, he forced himself down upon her where his lips crashed against hers.
Her eyes shot open wide as she panicked in shock, he pulled himself off her and stared down at her, she looked more then surprised to him.
"How can you not want me after that? And would I do that for the sake of a petty joke?" he asked her impassively, she remained silent as she thought to herself, he'd just kissed her and she discreetly enjoyed it.
"Tell me Hermione… no more games" he said softly, he remained silent waiting for her reply, she stared up at his pale face, his gleaming blue eyes and his soft lips not forming a smile.
"How do I know this isn't just a crush? That it's not just something from a fairytale?" she asked softly still looking at him, "I doubt it's just a crush, and if it is a fairytale, then I hope it's never-ending" Draco said looking down into her eyes.
Hermione smiled faintly, "It's so strange" she whispered, Draco nodded with a smile in agreement, "Last year I hated you… and now I shamelessly adore you" he smiled, Hermione's cheeks blushed bashfully, "Did I just embarrass you, Granger?" he smirked.
She smiled and shook her head, "So tell me… how do you feel?" he asked, she shrugged, "It's hard to say, there aren't any words" she said looking at his black t-shirt.
"Try, in words or actions just let me know Hermione" he said quite restless, she looked at him and shrugged, "Draco… it's you… it's a little hard for me to blurt the feelings I feel" she informed him, he rolled his eyes at her comment.
"Put that aside, and tell me, I beg you Hermione!" he pleaded, she knew he was right, she didn't want to go and throw another chance away, she liked Draco, she admitted to herself but to admit it to his face, was a task she found easier said than done.
There was a sign of impatience and disappointment in Draco's face; she just couldn't bring herself to say it, Draco sighed and then attempted to crawl off her and leave, but Hermione's hands reached for his shoulders, which stopped him.
"Are you going to tell me?" he asked her without moving, she shook her head, "No". He rolled his eyes and attempted to leave again, she pulled hard down on his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to show you".
Draco's eyebrows raised and a smirk was born on his face, she smiled softly and lightly kissed his pale cheek ever so tenderly, "I didn't quite get that Granger" he grinned, she kissed his cheek again with a grin, "No still not getting it" he chuckled.
"Try this" she smiled widely then kissing his lips quickly, "…Yes?" he asked, she nodded, he crawled off her and sat down, and she sat up to face him.
"Well now that you're my girlfriend, I have a few needs and chores for you" he said with the biggest grin, Hermione's eyebrows arched, "I beg your pardon?" she asked him, "I won't repeat myself…" he said grinning, "This is how our 'relationship' is going to start? Definitely not! You know, this is a mistake Malfoy!" she said looking away from him.
Draco began laughing and slowly fell on his side, he stared up at her as he took her hand, "I'm only kidding Hermione" he smiled, she looked down at him and gently hit his arm, "Ouch!" he sulked, "Oh you wimp Malfoy!" she grinned.
