~*~Hermione POV~*~
(AN: this is an AIM chat...the sn's are completely made up off the top of my head...sorry if they belong to anyone)
WitchyGurl: Becca...u there?
Beccerz: Yeah..wassup girl?
WitchyGurl: You will not believe what happened at my tutoring session!!! :- o
Beccerz: What happened?!?! Did u tutor some hott guy and he asked u out?!?!
WitchyGurl: Very close!! It was Draco.
Beccerz: ????? Who? ?????
WitchyGurl: Oh, sorry. The hott blondie from eng. The one that was checking me out.
Beccerz: R U SERIOUS??
WitchyGurl: as a heart attack...he's so nice and so...gentlemanly...if that's even a word
Beccerz: Did he kiss you??
WitchyGurl: NO! But I can't say I would not have minded. Hehehe
Beccerz: So what did happen??
WitchyGurl: Well...he walked me back to the dorm and let me borrow his cloak...oh! and you know how clumsy I am?? Well, I tripped and he caught me in his arms.
Beccerz: Uh oh! I bet you didn't mind that at all did ya?? :-*
WitchyGurl: Not at all...gods...those arms...I would love to have them wrapped around me more often. But what I loved most about him was he actually listened to me. Like when I was trying to explain Shakespeare to him...he was actually listening and trying to learn this stuff. That has got to be a first in all my tutoring days!!
Beccerz: Wow! It sounds like this guy is like Mr. Perfect.
WitchyGurl: Yeah...I just wish I knew more about him...I mean...he's so mysterious...
Beccerz: oOo...mysterious guy...sounds like a hott romance to me...would you seriously consider a relationship with him, though??
WitchyGurl: I would love any kind of relationship. And with him...that would be even better. But I seriously have no idea how to act around him. I mean...you know me...I have bad luck when it comes to guys.
Beccerz: Okay...what about this?? You're tutoring him 4 eng...and we're going to start reading Romeo and Juliet soon...the college is going to be hosting the play this weekend...you could invite him to go with you and tell him that you think it would help him understand it better.
WitchyGurl: BECCA!! YOU R A FREAKIN' GENIUS!!! That is such a great idea!! I'll try to catch him after eng class tomorrow.
Beccerz: You can do it 'Mione...just believe in urself...I believe in u!!
WitchyGurl: Thank you so much girl...I'm gonna get some sleep now...c-ya tomorrow!!
Beccerz: Goodnight girl!! Sweet dreams of a certain blonde haired boy!! :- *
I signed off of the computer and slipped into my pajamas. I started over toward my bed when Draco's cloak caught my eye. I grabbed it up and went on towards my bed. I curled up in my bed and wrapped his cloak around myself. I could smell his scent on it...it was wonderful. I drifted in to a dream-filled sleep with a small smile on my face.
~*~Draco POV~*~
It was finally Wednesday and I had a smile plastered on my face. It was the day that I had English class. I had my purposes for liking English now...her name was Hermione. My smile widened at the thought of our tutoring session together. She was so great and nice and beautiful and...gods...I could go on and on. And now with the help of our tutoring sessions, I would get to see her everyday of the week...with the exception of weekends. Of course...if I worked hard enough...I would get that taken care of too. I honestly didn't know if I could handle a relationship...I mean...she would want to start getting to know me better...and I couldn't lie forever. I would tell her eventually...but not right off...I don't know how she could handle it. I don't know whether she would believe me at all anyway...I mean...most muggles don't believe in things like magic. But maybe she's not like most muggles.
I walked to English class prepared for anything. Hermione was a really good tutor. I think I actually kind of understand this stuff now. After she explained the background plot for "Romeo and Juliet" I was really looking forward to reading it. It seemed as if it would be a really good story. I walked in to class and saw my cloak folded neatly on my chair. Suddenly I remembered that I had let her borrow it the night before. I took my seat and looked her way. She had her head submerged in a book...and the world was oblivious to her.
I wanted to thank her for giving my cloak back to me...but I didn't know how to get her attention. So I stood up and walked over to her row and kneeled beside her...she still didn't notice me. I crept my face closer to hers and breathed in her sweet aroma. Apparently my breath on her face pulled her back to reality and she jumped to see who it was.
"Ohmygosh!! It's only you, Draco. You sure know how to scare the crap out of a person, don't ya?"
"I do try. Listen, I wanted to thank you for giving my cloak back."
"No...thank you for letting me borrow it. I guess it was a little bit colder last night than I was expecting it to be."
"It was no problem. I wouldn't want you getting sick on me...you gotta get me through this "Romeo and Juliet" stuff."
"Yep. I think after we read some of it in class today, you may understand it better. Oh! Speaking of which, I want to ask you something after class."
"Of course. I'll stick around. I better get back to my seat. See ya after class." She nodded as I turned to walk back to my row.
English class went by pretty quickly. I found that reading "Romeo and Juliet" did clear some things up...but it was a really hard story to read. The language was so foreign to me. I only hoped that Hermione would be able to help me through this. As she had asked me, I waited for her after class. She walked up to me and nodded to signal me to walk with her.
"So what was it that you wanted to ask me...fair maiden." I decided to throw in some Shakespearean terms. She blushed at the sounds of being called fair.
"Oh...yeah...umm...I was just wondering if...umm..." She was stumbling over her words.
I stopped where we were walking and turned her to face me and looked in to her eyes. "What is it Hermione? You can tell me." I seemed to be pleading with her to ask me whatever she sought out to ask me.
"Okay...umm...well...see...the college is hosting "Romeo and Juliet" and they're going to be performing it this weekend at the auditorium...and I was wondering...umm...ifyouwouldwannagowithme." She spoke those last words so quickly that I couldn't understand a word of what she said.
"Hermione...you're gonna have to use English language. I didn't understand a word of that last part."
"Okay. Would. You. Want. To. Go. See. "Romeo and Juliet". With. Me. This. Weekend." The realization struck me as I understood that she was trying to ask me out. She stressed each word individually...but spoke so softly that it was almost barely a whisper.
"Of course. I would love to. Maybe seeing it visually would help me understand it better."
"That's what I was thinking. So...umm...are you free Saturday night?"
"Yes."
"Okay then...well...I gotta go...but we'll finish up planning this at our tutoring session tomorrow, k?"
"Sounds like a plan Hermione...I'll see you then fair maiden"
As she walked away, I could not remove the smile from my face. I was going on a date with Hermione on Saturday night. I honestly have no idea if she saw it as a date...or just trying to help me through English. Either way, I was going to get to spend Saturday night with her. I felt as if I was floating on air. I never imagined that I would feel this way about anyone...especially a bookworm muggle. I knew this relationship would be tough...but I wanted to make it work. I would just hide my secret life from her until the time was right.
