Chapter 5

When Hermione went down to breakfast the next morning she noticed that Ginny was not sitting in her normal seat. She was sitting with Dean and Seamas. Harry Ron and Neville were all sitting together and having an intense conversation.

" Hey guys whats up?" She dared to ask after a few minutes.

" Oh, hey Herms. When did you get here?" Asked Ron.

"(sigh) about five minutes ago.hey do you know what's wrong with Ginny?"Hermione asked trying to sound convincing. She knew exactly what was wrong with Ginny.

" She's mad at someone but she wont tell me who and why." He replied.

Ginny looked over and glared at Hermione, forcing her to look away.

"Umm... I'm not that hungry... so Ill see you in class." Hermione then got up from the table without waiting for a response.

Draco POV.

Draco scanned the Great Hall idly looking for something to catch his interest. That's when he spotted Hermione leaving the table.

Wonder whats wrong with her ' he thought to himself curiously.

"Go comfort her then." advised the voice.

" you know for once you said something useful." Draco said out loud giving himself strange looks from the Slytherin table.

In some corridor Draco and Hermione's POV

" Hermione, Hermione... wait up!

" I'm not in the mood for chit chat right now in case you haven't noticed!

" Hermione what's wrong? I saw you storm out of there all upset."

"She hates me, she wont talk to me, she wont sit near me, she wont even look at me without glaring and its all my fault!" Hermione broke down in sobs and collapsed on the floor.

"Hermione, its not your fault. Everyone gets into fights." Draco attempted to sooth her but since he didn't have much experience on that subject it came out really cheesy.

"If only I hadn't opened my mouth, we wouldn't be in a fight anyway."

ummm... ummm... shit what do I say?'

"don't say anything you idiot, comfort her."

How?'

"hold her ...Duh!"

After much thought, Draco walked over and knelt down.

"Hermione..." he said cautiously reached out a hand to put on her shoulder, " I'm sure it's not fault" he didn't need to waist time thinking about what to do next, since Hermione jerked away suddenly and was storming off down the corridor.

" follow her you idiot! Go comfort her, she needs your help."

So Draco ran after her . Hermione went into the common room and sat down onto the couch in front of the fire.Draco came in and sat down next to her and starred into the fire.

" who did you get into a fight with anyway?" he dared to ask after a few minutes .

" Ginny why'd you ask?" she replied stiffly.

"Just want to know. And this guy, you're sure I don't know him right."

"you might know him..."

"Well what's he look like? What's his name?"

" cant tell you his name, but I can tell you what he's like."

"And..."

" he's tall, nice and sweet."

"That's it. That's all you can tell me. Can't you tell me his eye color or his hair color? Something along those lines please." he asked

"Nope. Strictly forbidden. sorry." She said softly as she lay her head on his shoulder. " I can tell you one thing though, he's really, really nice and comfy." She said as she looked up at him.

" Now's your chance kiss her now you idiot!"the voice said to Malfoy.

But... But...'

At first he hesitated , as if he were making the wrong move, but when their eyes met again, his mid was made up. It was now or never, so he touched her soft face- it was so warm. He brought his lips close to hers and looked her in the eyes one last time and then six years of hidden passion came out in this one kiss.
