Chapter 4: We're in Trouble Now

Hermione pulled away from Malfoy when she heard the door slam shut, "What was that?" She yelled, pushing him away from her.

Malfoy stood there in shock at what he had done, "I really don't know what came over me. One moment I was staring into your eyes to make Ron jealous, and the next thing I new, we were kissing!"

Hermione stared at him, trying to catch her breath, "We should probably get back to your lesson." She sighed heavily, and turned to sit down.

But Malfoy grabbed her sleeve and pulled her into him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes, leaning in for another kiss. Hermione accepted this gesture and kissed the boy back. Malfoy gently licked the tip of Hermione's lips with his tongue. Before either of them could do anything, they were fully making out. Hermione began massaging Malfoy's head, running her fingers through his soft, blonde hair.

Just as things were starting to really get heated up, Hermione pulls away, "Malfoy, we can't be doing this. We hate each other." She whispered to him softly.

Malfoy kissed the side of Hermione's mouth, "Hush." He said gently, "No one has to know."

Hermione really pulled away now, and stared at him, "Shit Malfoy! Ron knows! Soon, Harry will know as well. My two best friends know that I kissed their nemesis! God!" Hermione placed her head into her hands and began to cry silently.

"Hermione?" Malfoy said placing a hand on her shoulder, "This can be our secret. Tell them that you smacked me right after you came to your senses, and that I will get a new tutor." He then placed her hand on her soft hair. "She's so beautiful when she's upset." He thought to himself.

Hermione looked up at him, and wiped her tears away, "But how would I be able to see you though?" She rests her head on his shoulder, letting her tears fall onto his robe.

"We will find a way." Draco Malfoy whispered, "I promise." He gently kissed her lips for the last time that night.


Later that night, Hermione headed up to the Gryffindor dormitories. When she entered the common room she saw an angry Ron sitting in the corner, in an over sized chair. "Ron, can I talk to you?" Hermione sighed heavily. "How can I lie to my best friend? But he likes me, so I can't tell him the truth!" Hermione's mind was in a panic of how to address the issue of what Ron had seen.

"What do you want Hermione?" Ron scowled, "Haven't you caused enough damage for the day?"

"Ronald! Stop it! Just listen to me!" Hermione was starting to get really frustrated, "I didn't kiss Malfoy, he kissed me! Malfoy was just being a jerk, and wanted to make you jealous. And evidently he succeeded in doing so!" Hermione began to walk away quickly.

Ron looked around the common room in shock, his mouth hanging open. Ginny began to giggle uncontrollably, and then she shouted, "Hermione! Going after the rebel! You and Malfoy gettin' it on!" The other girls began to giggle as well, while all of the boys stared at the situation in shock. "Kill him Ron!" Fred and George shouted together.

Harry had just entered the room when all of the commotion was going on, "What's happening here?" Harry asked Ginny, who was more than glad to answer.

Ginny started to speak very quickly "Malfoy kissed Hermione in front of Ron! And so Ron is jealous, and Hermione is mad that he won't listen, and all the girls think that Malfoy's a sexy babe, and she's lucky, and the guys hate him and want to kill him! But other than that," She paused and shrugged, "Nothing."

"Malfoy did what!" Harry shouted with a lot of anger behind it.

Hermione, who was hearing everything from the security of her bed, knew that her life would never be the same.
