CHAPTER 3: Hermione's Love

As Hermione walked down the hall alone heading for the common room, she tripped.

"Ow!" Hermione yelled. Hermione thought, maybe I am a klutz! Hermione frowned. She then got a glance of someone picking up some pieces of paper she couldn't see who because the person was in the shadows. She realized it was her letters from her secret admirer. Hermione got up and chased after the person leaving her things behind.

"Hey you come back here! Those are private!"

She noticed it was a guy, he went right, and Hermione went right.

"Come back here!" Hermione yelled, "Hey you! STOP!"

The boy then turned down a dark hallway. Hermione followed but it was a deadened and the boy was gone. Hermione was furious.

When Hermione went back to where she left her things, they were gone.

"Looking for this stuff?"

Hermione smiled and turned around and to her horror it was Malfoy. He was holding her books with her letters on top. She frowned.

"Did you send me those letters?" Hermione asked

"What letters?" Malfoy asked

"The ones on top of MY books that YOU have," Hermione said being annoyed.

"I read them but of course not!" Malfoy said.

"Why would I like someone like you mudblood?" Malfoy sneered. Then he grinned. He dropped Hermione's books. Hermione gasped. Malfoy walked closer to Hermione.

"Why you-," Hermione started to say but then Malfoy kissed her on the lips. Hermione stared at Malfoy.

"Why the hell did you do that for Draco!" Hermione yelled

"Because I love you," Draco said smiling.

"So did you send me those letters?" Hermione asked Draco

"No, but I wish I did," Draco said

Hermione frowned

She asked again because she wanted to make sure.

"Will you love me Hermione?" Draco asked.

"NO! Why would I love a disgusting hore like you!" Hermione yelled.

"Don't worry Hermione, you will love me someday," Draco said. Then he turned around and walked away.

Hermione thought, if he really loves me then I guess he does cause he did kiss me and he called me Hermione instead of mudblood. But I couldn't possibly love him…why would I like Draco? Oh my god, why would I call him Draco? I always call him Malfoy! Maybe I could give him a chance…wait I shouldn't! He's a Slytherin! Oh this is complicated………

Hermione stared at Draco until he turned a corner.

"DRACO! WAIT!" Hermione yelled while running after him.

Hermione caught up to Draco. Draco turned around. Hermione jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly and then she kissed him on the lips. Draco kissed back.

"I love you," Hermione whispered

"I love you," Draco replied. Hermione smiled, Draco smiled back. They then went to a secret passage and went in. That's where they fell asleep.

Hermione woke up from students walking through the halls talking. She looked at her watch. It was noon! She then left quickly forgetting about Draco and grabbed her books and then she went to the Great Hall for lunch.

She then sat down beside Harry and Ron.

"Where were you Hermione?" Ron asked

"Yea, it was getting late and you weren't back and we were waiting for you, then we went looking for you and we heard you yelling but we couldn't find you" Harry explained

Hermione smiled dreamily, "I was indeed fighting with Draco…...DRACO!"

Hermiones eyes widened. She then remembered leaving him without waking him up. She jumped up to her feet and took off. She then ran to the secret passage and looked. Draco wasn't there. When she got out she saw him with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Draco!" Hermione yelled She went up to Draco and hugged him. Draco shoved her off.

"Get off me mudblood!" Draco yelled.

Hermione stared at Draco looking confused.

"Come on Crabbe, Goyle lets go," Draco sneered.

Hermione frowned. Tears started to stream down her face. She ran, as fast as she could ignore Harry and Ron telling her to come back and she ignored Ginny who asked her if she was ok. Hermione didn't know where she was going because she had water in her eyes she couldn't see.

She was crying. She was hurt. Hermione couldn't understand why Draco was acting like that. She then ran outside onto the Hogwarts Grounds. Hermione felt like she wanted to die. She then sat under a tree by the lake. She stared out on the lake crying her eyes out. She couldn't understand why she was crying. She thought maybe she really did like Draco. Moments later she heard cheering and yelling coming from the Quidditch Pitch. She forgot about the Quidditch Match to watch Gryffindor vs. Slytherin but she didn't care.

A while later she noticed that the match was over, but Hermione just sat there.

"You missed the match ya know," someone said. Hermione Jumped and got to her feet and turned around. It was Neville.

"Oh Neville you scared me!" Hermione said shocked

"Oh err sorry anyways, Gryffindor won!" Neville said smiling. Hermione smiled too.

"Harry really likes you, he's glad having a friend like you," Neville said totally off topic.

Hermione's eyes widened and said, "Really?"

"Yes and he wishes he could find a way to tell you but, he can't," Neville said

Hermione smiled nervously. She felt guilt in her stomach. She loved Draco. Harry didn't know. Later that day she was acting weird round Harry but she tried her best not to. She just felt so guilty.

After dinner she went to the Library. It was closed but she went in anyways. She went in and sat at table to think. She couldn't believe how Draco acted. She decided to stop thinking about Draco and study. Then she fell asleep. That was when she got woken up. Her eyes widened in horror. Hermione screamed in fear.
