a/n Here is chapter ten! Who is Hermione going out with? Find out in this chapter. Thank you to all my reviewers, I will say who won the contest at the end, though you'll be able to tell yourself if you won or not.

Hermione came down for breakfast and looked over at the Slytherin table. She smiled when she saw… A big school owl broke her thought off as it landed on shoulder. Carefully Hermione took of the scroll and sat down. She opened it up and began to read.

Dear Hermione,

I know that you are going out with a certain Slytherin, who shall of course remain nameless. But I have to warn you, there are many things that you do not know about him, but I do. Please meet me at the astronomy tower at eleven tonight.

Sincerely,

A friend

The hand writing was unrecognizable so Hermione had no idea who it was. She shrugged, should she go and see what this "friend" wanted?" Well it wouldn't hurt to hear what they had to say would it? No, Hermione decided it wouldn't hurt just to listen, that ended it. She would meet this mystery person, and listen to them, whoever it was.

Draco watched as Hermione read the letter, silently he prayed that she would come. Her face was a blank mask, but her eyes told him everything that he needed to know. She would come, she had too. Hermione wasn't Harry Potter's friend for nothing, nor was she in Gryffindor for nothing. She would come there was no doubt in Draco's mind as he finished his breakfast and headed to classes.

The day seemed to slip by fast for Hermione and within seconds she was running up the stairs to the astronomy tower. It lay in shadows and in the darkness it gave Hermione the creeps. She took a deep breath and stepped through the door and into the cold night air. A tall figure stood at the end of the tower swathed in darkness. He seemed to be wearing it like a coat. Setting a course straight to the figure Hermione's head began to reel with questions. Trying hard she kept them all at bay, well that was until the figure turned around and she was lost within the cold gray eyes that were looking at her.

Draco heard her walking across the stone floor and took a deep breath. There was no way he was nervous, he was a Malfoy and Malfoys don't get nervous. Then he berated himself for thinking that way, wasn't thinking that way what managed to get him into this spot in the first place? He turned around and faced Hermione.

Hermione's first reaction was one that she didn't think she would have. She stopped herself short of smiling, a smile? Why a smile? Didn't she hate him? The second reaction was to kiss him. Wait! No, she didn't want to kiss him. Did she?

"What do you want?" Was what came out of her mouth.

"Aren't you supposed to be the brightest witch of the age? If I write a letter saying that I have something to tell you about your boy friend what do you think I'm going to do?" Hermione bit back a retort.

"Fine, then tell me what you wanted to tell me so I can leave." She snapped.

"I wanted to tell you that you don't know anything about your so called boy friend. He is as you know a Slytherin, but what else do you know about him." She was silent and he continued. "He is also the youngest Death Eater to enter the Dark Lord's service." At this Hermione's mouth fell open. "Yes, I bet you didn't know that."

"I bet you are a Death Eater too." She scowled at him; her head was having trouble comprehending what was being said. She stumbled a bit and he grabbed her arm pulling her in closer to him.

"No, I have been prolonging it. I don't want to become one either. But Blaise Zabini is a Death Eater." His answer shocked her.

"Why are you telling me?" Her voice sounded feeble.

His face went into a mask. "Do I need a reason?"

"Yes, yes you do. I mean after what happened in the library and everything."

"I never meant what I said in the library." He whispered softly.

"Yeah, well what did you mean to say?" He leaned down and kissed her, a soft meaningful kiss. Hermione kissed him back, again a soft white light seemed to wrap around them. Draco broke off and Hermione looked back up at him.

"Well?" He asked and Hermione smiled and kissed him again. Finally they broke it off and headed back downstairs hand in hand. They never noticed the eyes following them, and little did they know about what lay ahead.

a/n So now you know who Hermione's boy friend is, or maybe it is use to be boy friend he he he he. Hermione and Draco are back together. I don't mind criticism as long as it is constructive. Please Review! 
