Chapter 3

The rest of the detention passed away pretty quickly and Draco insisted on walking Hermione to her dormitory. "Oh crap, I think I'm falling for her, better not let the word spread, it will get back to my father." Thought Draco to himself, worried of what might happen to the both of them. "Goodnight." He said smiling at her.

"Goodnight." She said leaning in and kissing his lips. They stood there kissing for a long time neither of them wanting to pull apart. However Hermione needed air and broke apart. This time they saw two very angry people known as Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.

"Hermione? What the hell do you think you are doing kissing Malfoy?" asked Ron angrily, if Harry wasn't holding him he would have punched Malfoy's face out. Draco pulled Hermione behind him to protect her.

"What do you want Potter? Weasley?" He asked, no emotion showing on his face.

Harry looked at him angrily, "We are trying to protect our best friend from getting hurt," he paused and then added, "From you." Finished Harry pointing to Malfoy.

"Well. She's not going to get hurt. Now go away and don't stick your nose in other peoples business again." Said Draco sharply. Hermione couldn't take the fighting any more, she let go of Draco and ran away as fast as she could and not looking back at them once. "Now look at what you did. If you really care about her you'd leave her alone to make her own decisions. Stop acting like she's your sister and you need to protect her all the time." Said Malfoy and with that he ran after her in the direction she took.

He finally found her by the Hogwarts Lake near the far end of the castle grounds. "Hermione? Are you alright?" he asked worried. She looked up at him, tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Please don't fight with my friends, I don't want to have to choose between you or them." She said crying even harder. He sat next to her and let her cry in his chest. A few meters from where Hermione and Draco sat stood Harry and Ron just watching them silently not believing their eyes. Hermione stopped crying after a while and looked into Draco's eyes. "Promise me you won't fight any more." She said.

Draco looked at her, "If only she understood." He thought to himself. "Hermione…" he paused. "Its not that I won't fight with them, its just that…um, they hate me and obviously I have to protect myself from them." He said looking back at her. "But I promise I won't fight as long as you talk to them." He quickly added seeing the expression on her face. She suddenly smiled and kissed him.

They finally broke apart, "Thank you Draco, I really appreciate it, and I will talk to them." She said. Harry and Ron heard the conversation and looked at each other shocked.

"Well, we should lay off, I mean I hate to mention it but what Malfoy said made sense." Said Harry. Ron just gaped at him. "Your letting her be with the one guy that has called her mudblood constantly since second year?" he asked angrily.

Harry looked at him, "Well, yeah, its her choice, we'll just stay away from Malfoy that's all." Said Harry.

Ron looked at Harry angrily, "But Harry if Lucious Malfoy finds out about them being lovers, he'll kill them." He said worriedly.

Harry looked at him not wanting to believe what he had just said, even though it was true, "We'll be ready for him, we'll kill him if he tries to kill them. Agreed?" Harry asked Ron, he finally gave up and nodded in agreement and they ran back to their dormitory. Later when Hermione had reached the dormitories she had a chat with Harry and Ron.

"Look I know you guys hate Draco, but please leave him alone and he will leave you both alone. Ok?" she asked hopefully. The two nodded in agreement as they already knew this was coming and didn't want to make their friend cry again. "Thank you so much guys, you have no idea how much this means to me." She said happily, hugging them both. Little did she know they already knew.

After their little talk in the common room everything was going fine with Draco and Hermione. But one night Hermione had a nightmare that his father would rip her and Draco apart and kill them. She got so scared she ran out of bed and put a nightgown on and ran to the Slytherin common room. She knocked on the portrait door, and luckily Draco was the only one awake next to the fire so he answered the door.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly studying her tear struck face. He pulled her into the common room and sat her in his lap in an armchair in front of the fire. She curled up into Draco's arms and sobbed lightly on his chest.

"Draco, it was horrible… I dreamt your father really hated the idea of us being together so he came to Hogwarts along with Voldemort and they killed us. I was soo scared." She sobbed.

He looked at her in the eyes and smiled, "Its alright you're here now so if my father was to do that we can fight back. Come, I'll take you to my room and you can stay with me for the night." He said looking at her. She nodded and they walked into his room and lay on his bed together. He looked at her in her nightgown and P-J. "Not that this is a good time to say this but, you look so sexy in that." He said pointing to her outfit.

"Well, I was so scared I forgot to change." She said smiling and blushing from his comment.

He lay on top of her and started kissing her. "Draco, I don't really want to do this right now." Said Hermione worriedly, as she was still a virgin.

"Ok. If you really don't want to you don't have to. But if you change your mind I'll be gentle, if that's what you're thinking." He said studying her face. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Um… ok. It's just that I want this to be perfect." Said Hermione. Draco understood that this was her first time and that she wanted it to be perfect so he bewitched the room and put candles everywhere. He then put on a soft muggle song that Hermione said she really liked. (a/n: She was singing to it during detention because it was a beautiful song and it had a lot of meaning to it.) When he had finished Hermione was still a little worried, but her worries soon died down as she trusted Draco and knew he wouldn't do any thing to hurt her. Soon clothes were flying in the air, fingers, hands and lips went every where imaginable and they had the best night in their lives. Neither of them noticed that their clothes fell into the fireplace… The next morning they both awoke one after the other, Draco awoke first.

He looked over his shoulder at Hermione's body and smiled, "She is so beautiful when she sleeps." He thought.

She smiled slightly and opened her eyes, "Why thank you Malfoy." She said slyly. Draco was shocked he looked at her puzzled and completely speechless.

Finally he spoke, "How'd you hear me? I didn't say that out loud did I?" he asked slightly blushing. Hermione just nodded her head.

"Is that Draco Malfoy blushing?" she asked playfully. He turned away embarrassed even more. They both decided to sleep in a little longer as it was still early, neither of them noticed the person that had been watching them the whole time, eyes full of fury at the sight…
