"Harry what are you doing?" Ron asked very concerned.
"Huh?… Oh I'm sending a howler." he stated.
"Yeah I can see that, but to who?"
"Well Malfoy, of course."
"Why don't you say it to his face it would be a whole lot easier."
"Because I will probably end up hitting him if I do, so I decided t send a howler instead."
"Whatever mate." Ron walked off shaking his head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"HARRY, RON GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE NOW!" I yelled as I walked into the common room. There's a lot of people in here and they're looking at me funny. I thought. Ron and Harry came running to see what was going on; they stopped as soon as they saw me and took two steps back turned and started for their dormitories. "Wait right there you two." I said I a sharp life threatening voice.
"Uh… Hermione we can explain." Ron looked scared. "Well Harry can at least." He looked over to Harry who looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"So Harry would you like to tell me why you thought it would be so God awful funny to send a howler to Draco threatening him. Huh I need answers, NOW."
"Well I just didn't want him to hurt you so I decided I would warn him to stay away but…"
I cut him off with my wand in his face muttering under my breath. "I don't care but if you do it again you will both get detention and it won't be pretty. You got me?" They nodded and I walked away to the portrait hole with their whispering behind me. I turned my head as if to say "Shut up" but they were already on their way up the stairs.

"What's her deal? It's not like they're going out or anything." Ron stated.
"I don't know, but… Wait what if they are. I mean we don't talk to her much anymore and she did call him Draco instead of Malfoy. I do find it a bit strange." said Harry. "I know who we can ask, Ginny. She should know, I mean they are friends and they spend loads more time together now that me and you are both on the Quidditch team."
They walked back downstairs to find Ginny, but she wasn't in the common room. So they asked Neville where she was but he didn't know. They kept asking around but no one had seen her since breakfast. Ron and Harry came across a Ravenclaw in the hall, that Ginny talked to, he said that he had seen her headed towards the Quidditch pitch after breakfast. They headed that way only to find her on her way back.
"Hey Ginny, we need to talk to you about Hermione." Ron said.
Ginny looked at them aggravated but a little worried. "Oh so now you have time for us. Just yesterday all you cared about was your precious girlfriends. So what do you want to know?"
"We didn't ignore you, and do you know who Hermione goes out with?" Harry stated.
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, and she doesn't go out with anybody. She likes someone but she won't tell me who it is."
"Malfoy." Harry and Ron said a little louder than expected.
"Excuse me what does this have to do with Malfoy?" Ginny asked confused.
"Huh… oh nothing never mind thanks. We'll see you later." they ran off to the castle.

I was making my way back to my common room when I heard someone call my name. I looked around to see who it was but there was no one there.
"Alright Harry come out from underneath that cloak." Nothing happened.
"Hermione come here." the voice said. I recognized it as Draco's.
"Draco what are you doing? Where are you?"
He stepped out of a wall that was behind me, and touched my shoulder. I shrieked because I hadn't know he was there. He leaned down to kiss me but I back away.
"Why were you in that wall and more importantly how were you in the wall?"
"Well it seems you are amazed; it's a secret room I found last year it's not even in 'Hogwarts: A History' it's pretty neat. You want to see it?" He grabbed my arm and lead me through the wall; it was like walking through rain but without getting wet. On the other side it was gorgeous there were couches, books, a fountain in the middle, a skylight (which I didn't understand seeing as how there were rooms about us). It was just beautiful.
"Wow, this place is amazing. How-?" I was cut short by Draco, he had started kissing me. Had this been a plan of his to get me in here so we could do it? I pushed him away at that thought. "What are you doing?" I managed to get out.
"I'm kissing you; what do you think I'm doing?" he stated and then tried to kiss me again but I wouldn't let him. "What's your problem Hermione? Don't you like me?"
"Yes I like you it's just I think we're moving too fast and besides we don't even go out."
"Ok then, will you go out with me?"
I just laughed he just didn't understand. "Good lord Draco you are so not romantic." He smiled. He should do that more often I thought and started laughing again at the thought of him smiling all the time.
"What are you laughing at Hermione? I don't think this is funny. I just asked you out and you start laughing at me, you're so immature."
I stopped and started to slap him but found it too hard to and started laughing again. "It's --- just ---" I had fainted.
Draco immediately picked me up and carried me to the hospital wing.
