'Do I want to find out? Well truth be told yes but I can't tell him that.' I thought to myself while I was gaping at Draco.'Damn it! I mean I've already told him that I was attracted to him after he kissed me earlier...but he didn't mention that so maybe he doesn't remember. But that's not really the question...the question is do I want to remember. Truthfully...yeah. I do...and I'm tired of that chaste Hermione everyone has been seeing for the past six years. Maybe...should I? Maybe I should ask Crookshanks...' I looked up to find Draco staring at me with a slight smile on his face.

"Well?" he asked hopefully. I looked across at him on the couch and apparently my befuddlement was clear on my face. "Hermione, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. I'll be disappointed but if you don't want to I'll understand." he said gently.

The only problem was that I did want to. "I do." He looked me right in the eyes not breaking contact he asked, "Are you sure you want to find out?" I nodded and he moved closer to me on the couch. He took the hot chocolate mug from my hands and place his and mine on the coffee table near by. He moved closer and closer until we were only a few inches away. I watched him as he raised his hand to cup around my neck, slowly pulling me closer to him. I was watching his mouth as it drew closer, when I looked up into his eyes I found him watching me.

a/n: for any of those who don't like reading about any type of remotely sexual context please skip to the next bar. It's mild but still.

My heart began to pound and my breathing became faster. When his lips finally touched mine his kiss was sweet but almost too gentle. Before he had been too hard, bruising my mouth. Now his kiss seemed as if it was a tease. Just a gentle brushing of his lips. He lost his smile when he drew back and saw me frowning. "Nothing?" he asked trying to hide the disappointment in his voice but I heard it anyway. I shook my head and he opened his mouth to say something but I wrapped a hand around his neck pulling him down kissing him with just the right amount of pressure. He started at my forwardness but quickly wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him.

I put my hands on his chest feeling the muscles move under my hands as he pulled me astride him, never once breaking contact with my mouth. One of his hands massaged my lower back while the other tangled itself in my hair. 'Oh Lord, that feels good.' I thought as I wrapped my arms around his neck getting even closer to him until I could feel his growing arousal pressing against me through the thick fabric of our clothes. I shivered as he pressed up against me. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip seeking entrance. I opened my mouth and his tongue penetrated my mouth darting in and exploring it.

He moved his hand from the small of the back up my side until it rested just below my breast making lazy circles making me ache for him to move his hand up just a few inches. I groaned into his mouth wanting more but suddenly a voice in a my head began to speak.

'Slow down!' the voice in my head demanded. 'It may feel good but you do not want to do anything you'll regret!' I pulled back and sat back on Draco's lap. We were both breathing heavily and I rested my forehead against his taking deep drawing breaths. "Wow." he said between breaths. "So? Are you attracted to me?"

I laughed and sat back looking him in the eye. "No. Not really. I just made out with you because I was bored." He grinned and kiss me lightly. I climbed off his lap and sat down beside him on the couch. "Wow is right. Sorry, I had to stop. I'm just not ready yet."

"No, no I understand. It was going too fast. We just need to slow down. You've just stopped hating me. I want to get your respect and trust." He pulled me to him cuddling against me as he muttered a charm and a fire lit in the fireplace. We sat there for a little while just watching the fire. 'Will he really try?' I thought to myself. 'Will he change? He's been so nice so far. I hope he stays this way. I've never felt this way. This melting sensation in my stomach. It's nice. Very warm.'

"Knut for your thoughts."

"I was just thinking. Are you going to stay this way? Nice to me and caring? Even when everyone else is around?"

Draco smiled and kissed the top of my head. "Of course. I'm always nice to my girlfriends." I stiffened at the name. 'His girlfriend?'

"Relax Hermione." He said rubbing my shoulders. "I was getting to it. Hermione Granger, would you do me the great pleasure of being my girlfriend? We don't have to tell anyone just yet if you don't want to but please will you be my girlfriend?"

Wow, it's been awhile since i've written sorry! writer's block and been busy! SORRY!

Lady of the Moon, I"m not sure what Malfoy's going to do he's kind of evolving as I write. I'm thinking no as to a relapse because he's grown so much over the years...their may be some slip-ups inolving the word "mudblood"
