Summary: In this tale of twists, Draco and Hermione who are secretly dating, go through so much just to ensure that friends don't find out. It is a great feat…almost impossible, really…

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Hermione had been thinking about him all day. She couldn't get him off her mind. Pictures of them together just flashed through her head day and night. It was great, and it was horrible.

She just couldn't be falling for Draco. He was a Slytherin and she was a Gryffindor! Those two houses just did not mix. But when he had talked to her and told her how he truly felt, it was all different. It was like they were just made for each other.

She was beginning to adore everything about him. His blonde hair, his grey eyes with little blue specks in them. She needed to speak to him herself.

As she walked around Hogwarts searching for Malfoy, Hermione thought, "What will Harry and Ron think? They hate him," she sighed…"Love will always find a way…" she thought to herself.

Suddenly, she spotted his blonde hair and ran up to him, "Malfoy," she sneered at him, pretending to hate him. She discreetly slipped a paper into his right hand and smiled quickly. As she walked off Draco opened the paper and it said:

Dearest Draco,

I have been thinking about what you said. Meet me in the Room of Requirements tonight if you really meant it.

Love Always, Mione

He thought about what he had told her the other day. It had come straight from his heart, and he knew he meant it. It was he who had given her the nickname "Mione" when he had told her how he truly felt. He remembered his words as if he had freshly uttered them out of his mouth. "Hermione…I love you! I fell for you, and I want you to be the one to catch me! Not Parkinson or anyone else besides you…I love you Mione…" he replayed the moment inside his head. He was going to meet her there tonight for sure.

THAT NIGHT AT 11:30

Hermione told Harry and Ron that she wasn't feeling well and that she was going to see Madam Pomfrey and that she would be back as soon as she could. She was really heading to the 7th floor to go see Draco. She reached it and thought, "I need a place for me and Draco to be alone…" and then a doorway appeared and Hermione walked in and sat on a huge bed that had appeared. She made herself comfortable and lay down because there was still a good fifteen minutes before Draco was to arrive.

When Hermione was lost in thoughts of her and Draco kissing very passionately, she was smiling and then, Draco opened the door to see her lying down on a huge, comfortable looking bed.

"What a pleasant way to spend a Friday night…" Draco said eyeing Hermione up and down, his eyes curving at her every curve. She was so beautiful just lying there with a secret weighing heavy on her heart. This secret just happened to be the one she was about to reveal to him.

"Draco, I have been thinking about what you told me the other day, and since then, I have not been able to stop thinking about you…" she began. He smiled at her; "God he is so hot!" she thought silently in her head.

"Mione, just tell me…I'll understand if you don't like me…" Draco said sweetly.

Just then, Hermione leaned in and kissed Draco. His lips parted and her tongue and his were intertwined. They both opened their eyes, still kissing and suddenly Hermione realized what she had just done. "I'm sorry…You probably didn't want that!" she said looking at her feet.

"Hermione, for the first time in your life, you are wrong…" Draco said and he leaned in and began to kiss her like mad. They laid down on the bed instead of kissing while sitting up.

"Draco, does this make me your girlfriend?" Hermione asked innocently as though they had not just been snogging each other senseless. Draco smiled at her.

"Yes…if you want to be Mione then it does…" he said looking deeply into her chestnut eyes and grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"This has to be a secret. I'm sorry Draco, but Harry and Ron can't find out. We will meet at midnight every night if you like, but they can't find out…" Hermione said running her hands through his blonde hair.

"Whatever you wish, love…" Draco said, placing his hand on her hips.

"I really should get back and go to sleep…" Hermione said kissing Draco on the lips afterwards.

"Same time…same place tomorrow okay Mione?" Draco asked lovingly. Hermione wasn't used to this nice tone coming from that body. She nodded and left the room of requirement walking on a cloud or so it seemed. Now, the trouble would be making sure Harry and Ron didn't find out about her and Draco. Hermione knew it would be hard, but she thought to herself, "Love will always find a way…"
