DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter is NOT mine...so don't ask

~*~Chapter Eight~*~

~*~Hermione POV~*~

I could not believe that I kissed him! And it felt great! I was almost afraid because most guys would have pushed for more...but not Draco. He was different from any guy I'd ever known. Words were never needed when we're together. We're just blissfully happy in our silence. Good grief! Listen to me! You'd think Draco and I had been married for years or something! Honestly I don't want to jump head first in to this relationship. I would just have to spend more time getting to know him and trust him. Even though he has asked me to be his girlfriend, I would like to treat this relationship as a friendship right off.

After such an exciting evening, I knew I had to contact Becca. I signed on AIM. I hoped she was online.

WitchyGurl: hey Becca!

Beccerz: oh hey! So...how did it go?

WitchyGurl: way above and beyond my expectations! He totally asked me to be his girlfriend!!

Beccerz: r u serious?!?!

WitchyGurl: as serious as a heart attack...but I seriously don't want to get so deep in this relationship without a good solid friendship backing it up

Beccerz: yeah, I know what you mean...I mean, you guys have only known each other for like a week! You don't think he's rushing in to this just to...you know...do you?

WitchyGurl: NO! Definitely not! I honestly don't think he's that kind of guy. He knows that we need to try and build a trust foundation.

Beccerz: that's really good to know...I'm really happy for you

WitchyGurl: yeah...well...something else happened tonight...

Beccerz: oh girl...you better spill...tell me tell me tell me!!!

WitchyGurl: well...I kinda kissed him

Beccerz: wait a minute!! you kissed him...not the other way around?!?!

WitchyGurl: yep...I made a move

Beccerz: so...how was it??

WitchyGurl: well...I'm not one to kiss-and-tell...but lets just say it was pretty dang close to heaven

Beccerz: I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU RIGHT NOW!!

WitchyGurl: I cannot believe this...it's like 2am and I am not tired

Beccerz: go outside for a while...there are security guards everywhere...you'll be safe

WitchyGurl: good idea...I think I may do that...I'll catch you later girlie!!

Beccerz: lata!

I grabbed my sweater and headed outside towards the soccer field outside the dorms.

~*~Meanwhile...Draco POV~*~

I couldn't believe how things unfolded this evening! I was completely restless! There was no way I could go to sleep tonight. I didn't want to spend any more time in this dorm room...I was going crazy. That's when I saw it...my broomstick. I suddenly wanted to go flying! But could I risk it?? Okay, I surveyed the situation. It's like 2am, its pitch black outside...surely no one would see me, right? I was going to take a chance. I needed the fresh air!! I needed to feel the wind whipping past me!! That was it!! I am definitely going flying!! I picked up my broom and headed out for the soccer field.

When I got to the soccer field, I took a quick glance around me just to make sure no one was around. I mounted my broom and kicked off the ground. As I rose higher and higher into the air, I felt the cold air whipping against my face. I didn't realize how much I had missed this feeling. The freedom of being up in the air...nothing could compare to this. I made lazy circles in the sky, surveying the campus below me. Everything was so beautiful at night! I looked above me at the starry-sky and the full moon above me. It could not be a more perfect night for flying. Things could not be better.

~*~Hermione POV~*~

As I approached the soccer field, I noticed a figure approaching with a broom in hand. I wondered what anyone would be doing out on the soccer field at 2 o'clock in the morning with a broom! I suddenly did a double take...that was Draco! Before my brain registered for me to speak, I saw him kick off the ground and go flying in to the sky. But this was totally absurd!! I had to be hallucinating!! No one can actually fly on a broom!! I couldn't keep my eyes off him. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

So this was the big secret he was keeping from me. I didn't want to bring it up directly to him. I would try and bring it up in our next conversation. To be truthful, I believed in witches and wizards, but I couldn't believe that Draco could possibly be a wizard. I wondered what other powers he had. I looked up and saw him about to touch back down. I slipped away before he could see me. Yes, this was definitely going to be a part of our next discussion. I wouldn't push him in to telling me something that he didn't want to tell me. But I needed to know that he could trust me enough to at least tell me this.
