You Have Changed

Chapter 2: Prove It

Hermione sighed as she sat by the lake. This had all come down so fast. She still wasn't sure what would prove that he had changed but she doubted that she would ever truly trust him.

Draco made his way out toward the lake. He walked past a 7th year Gryffindor who had suddenly dropped her books. He smiled a real smile and picked them up for her. "There you go." He said smiling "uh thanks M...Draco." She said grinning.

Draco sighed seeing Hermione, he turned away not wanting her to see him. The girl he had helped ran over to Hermione. "Oh my God Hermione! Draco Malfoy just helped me with my books." She said excitedly. Though every Gryffindor girl hated Draco Malfoy none of them could say that they didn't think he was cute. It was well known among the girls but the guys had no clue and would probably wonder why the hell the girl was excited about Malfoy helping her with her books.

"Really" Hermione asked looking at Draco. "Still not enough." Hermione muttered to herself. Honestly helping someone with their books? Honestly like that was gonna really change he mind.

"I think he's really changed...he's been so nice to everyone lately...you should see, it's amazing." The girl said glancing at Draco

"Sure he has" Hermione muttered looking back at the lake. "Excuse me." Hermione said getting up and walking over to Draco. She leaned against a tree. "Come off it." Hermione said looking at him. I am not going for something that elementary."

"Whatever you say Hermione." He said softly glancing at her

"Yes," Hermione said with a smirk. "Whatever I say."

"Is this big enough?" He asked pulling her to him and kissing her passionately. He pulled away and grinned at the sight of a shocked Harry and Ron. "Hello Harry, Ron." He said nodding.

Hermione looked at Malfoy in shock. She took a deep breath. "Well..." She started unable to speak. "Well...it is just umm...ummm…" Hermione looked at him. She couldn't speak.

"I'll let you get back to me on that, but now i think you've got some explaining to do." He said pointing to Harry in Ron.

Hermione turned around. "Oh shit." She muttered under her breath as Malfoy walked off.

"What in bloody hell is going on?" Ron yelled watching Malfoy go. He looked at Hermione in shock.

"Well..." Hermione said. "It's just umm... Just..." Hermione looked at them. "I have no bloody clue." She said confused.

Ron looked at her with an annoyed, confused look. "Hermione what's going on, why were YOU snogging Malfoy?" He asked starring at her utterly confused. "Yeah Hermione what's up?" Harry said concerned.

"I'm really confused at the moment alright?" She said turning around. "I have no idea what just happened and don't understand what is up with me, much less Malfoy."

"But Hermione that still doesn't explain anything," Harry said softly.

"OH MY GOD Hermione you like MALFOY!" Ron screamed starring at her.

"WHAT!" Hermione said. "ME! LIKE MALFOY! Honestly Ronald don't you think you're laying it on a bit thick?"

"Yeah that's what I think. Why else would everyone be talking about you two? Hmmm...Everyone says they've seen you with Malfoy, and after I saw you snogging him I believe it." he growled.

"It's not my fault Ron" Hermione said turning around and heading towards the castle. "He just did it."

"But you LIKED it." He yelled after her. Hermione just went into the castle on the verge of tears.

Draco was making his way out of the castle when he ran into a very distraught looking Hermione. "Hermione you ok?" He asked concerned.

"Oh just great Malfoy!" She said sarcastically. What did he think that doing that and having Ron and Harry see was gonna be GREAT!

"They weren't supposed to be there you know." He said softly looking down at her. "Look if you want I'll talk to them, I can't promise it will go all that well. If they want to kick my ass then so be it, I can't help my feelings." he said looking at the ground.

"You talking to them would make it worse." Hermione said looking at Draco. "Just leave it." She paused. "By the way you still haven't gotten me to say yes." She smirked and walked up the stairs to the library.

"Fine, but I'm not going to leave you alone until you say yes." He said following her.

"Are you going to annoy me into saying yes?"

"Basically, yes."

"Well that is rather annoying." Hermione said glancing at him trying not to smile.

"Yes I know, but trust me love you'll say yes sooner or later..."he said grinning."Go check out your bed..."he said before walking off.

Hermione watched him walk away. Oh great what had he done now?

Hermione headed up to the common room and looked at her bed. Holy Shit!

Her bed was covered in red roses, the words will you go out with me written on rose pedals.

She picked up one of the roses. Ginny looked at her. "What's going on Hermione?" She asked smiling. "Long story" Hermione replied smirking. Hermione looked at the roses. "Will you go out with me?" She read to herself. "He'll never give up." She said putting the flower back on the bed and heading out of the dorms out of the common room and towards the lake. It was time to see how much he cared.

"So did you like it?" He asked grinning.

"How did you get it up there?" Hermione said glancing at him and heading past the library and walking down towards the doors.

"I have my ways..." he said grinning.

"That much I knew" Hermione said smiling a bit.

They exited the castle and headed down towards the lake.

"Do ever just stay in one place for a certain amount of time, or are you always moving around?" Draco asked walking beside her.

"You mean besides the library?" Hermione said heading towards the docks. "Actually I do thank you for asking."

They were now out at the boat docks. Hermione had one shot at this. She hoped it wouldn't end badly.

"So this is your secret hide out huh?" He asked looking out at the water. "Can you swim?" He asked grinning evilly.

"Well…" Hermione started but 'tripped' and fell in the water. She went down and put the bubble mouth charm on herself then she hid and waited to see what Draco would do.

Draco starred down at the water "Hermione...That's not funny." He mumbled. He waited. She didn't surface. "Shit" He exclaimed, and without hesitating he pulled off his shirt and jumped into the water. He swam farther down into the murky water. With no luck he swam up to the top and started yelling her name "Hermione. DAMN!" he yelled diving back into the murky water. He stayed under the water for several minuets without coming up. He had to find Hermione no matter if it meant he risked his own life. His lungs began to fail and he started to make his way up to the surface, but his leg got caught around seaweed. His eyes began to close as the last bubbles of air escaped from his mouth

Hermione look off the bubble mouth charm then she caught hold of Draco and shot them both out of the water. She looked over at him. "Are you okay?" She asked leaning over him a bit.

He coughed rolling over to his side. "I almost risked my life for you and it was a freaking test!" He growled. "I hope you're happy, now. If I wasn't really into you I would've let you drowned"

Then it hit Hermione. He was serious about something. It wasn't her though. If he truly cared he wouldn't have pointed that out. That one slip up from him sent her mind whirling. She had to figure out what he was up to.

Hermione looked out at the lake sadly. "Alright," Hermione said softly. "I'll go out with you."
