Hermione's POV

I changed into my black mini skirt with blue stripes and put my 'I Love Dorks' shirt, which was blue and black. I put on my black boots and a little bit of make-up when I heard a knock on my door.

I opened the door and looked at Draco as both our mouths dropped. 'He looks so good!' I thought. 'I must look good, because the color of his eyes are changing to a bright blue-gray.'

"Wow! You look awesome!" He said.

"Thank you! You look good too!" I said. " Ok. I'll admit…he's hot!' I thought.

"Shall we go?" He said.

"Let's go…" I said.

We walked all the way to the Three Broomsticks. We talked about everything. We sat at a table in the corner and Draco ordered two Butterbeers for us.

"Hermione! What are you doing with Malfoy?" Harry said. I turned around and found Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Luna, two tables behind us.

"We are talking, Harry! What's the matter with that?" I said.

"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong…his dad is a death-eater and so is he! You are conversing with the enemy! You need to get your priorities straight!" Ron said. Typical!

"My priorities are straight! Draco is neither a death-eater nor an enemy. So you just need a life. Why don't you go and snog Luna! You guys were always too busy to talk to me because you wanted to get laid. So Go!" I yelled at him.

Harry and Ron walked away with hurt looks on their faces. The girls followed after them. 'Oh well…they always ignored me when I came to talk to them. Always.' I thought.

"Wow. That was unexpected." Draco said.

"What was?"

"You called me Draco and stood up for me to your best friends."

"You'd do the same…wouldn't you?"

"Any day," he said.

"Well, when we finish our butterbeers, I'll take you someplace special," I said.

"Okay."

Ten minutes later, we left and headed down the road back to Hogwarts but turned left down a rocky trail in the woods. We climbed up and finally reached our destiny. I had brought Draco to the cave where we had met Sirius in our fourth year.

"Wow! How did you find this place?"

"Boredom, two months doing nothing found me here." I lied. I feel bad about lying but I can't fully trust Draco yet.

"Oh."

"I liked this place because it was peaceful. I loved i…" Draco, who had decided to kiss me at that moment, interrupted me.

He put his hands on my waist and I put mine around his neck. The kiss was heated, I saw fireworks. This time the kiss wasn't brief. His hands were caressing my sides and my back while I ran my hands through his platinum blonde hair. If I could've stayed like this forever I would have, but I needed to take a breath. I broke away from the kiss first but I stayed in Draco's arms.

"We do need to get back you know," he said.

"Yes, I know," I sighed.

"I don't want to end this…how about I make hot cocoa back in our dorm?"

"Ok."
