A/N: I am very, very, very, very … sorry I couldn't update quicker, I have had no internet for two weeks (and I still don't have it) and I've gone mad. As a compensation, will hang next chapter (by the way, It's called: All the small things, if you wanted to know) in a week's time! ;) ENJOY!

LAST CHAPTER:

"Well I … I…I've decided to go with you to the ball, Ron" I muttered. Then I saw his smile widen and blush lightly. He came towards me and hugged my tightly. Then, his hand went under my chin and our faces were very close. He closed his eyes and came near me. He wanted to kiss me. Well, after all he was one of my best friends… I could answer his kiss back… but then, Draco's face came to my mind.

"I'm sorry Ron, I'll go with you to the ball, but as friends, nothing else, okay?" I said, and without waiting an answer, left. What had happened? Why had Draco's face appeared on my mind and I had stopped? Not that I lo- wait, no, of course not!

….

"What? Well I have a date, but I am sure I can leave him for you, Draco" Weaslette came near me and tried to kiss me. I avoided her and hugged her.

Chapter 10: Accidentally in love

"Accidentally In Love"

So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

(…)

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

(…)

We're accidentally in love

Counting crows - accidentally in love

10. Hermione

I was walking through a small corridor that lead to the tower that had been my house for six years. There, I would meet Ron, my date for the ball, and we would go to dance. For Ron, this date meant the world. He thought I was going with him and that I loved him, and I had told him it was just friendship, but I am sure he doesn't think this way.

Anyway, I hope he likes what I'm wearing; I've done it for him, for Drac- no wait, for RON, not Draco.

…………flashback……………

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. She was wearing a light green dress that fitted her perfectly. It was tight until the waist and then it widen. (A/N: I really don't know how to describe, I'm trying my best. If you want to see what the dress looks like, see the cover ofthe book: the queen's fool, abook I love). She was wearing emerald earings that mached her necklace. She had trained her hair perfectly so that it was not bushy anymore, but pronounced and perfect curls. She had put some lightmake up.

…………end flashback……………

"Chocolate and cream" I entered my old common room and looked at it. It was as warm as always and painted with gold and red colours, but there were also some Christmas decorations. I turned around and looked for Ron. I saw a red head and went towards it, but as I came closer I realised who it was.

"Hi Gin! You look beautiful!" I said as I looked at her dress, which matched her hair.

"Oh, hi 'Mione! You too!" she smiled slightly "I heard you're going to the ball with my brother, is it true?"

"Ah yes!" I exclaimed and she smirked "but as friends, nothing more" her smirk faded "and you? With whom are you going?"

"It's a secret. He told me not to tell you" she winked at her friend as she blushed. I was going to ask her who did he think he was but I heard an 'ehem' coming from my back. I turned around and saw Ron.

"Hermione, you look…" he blushed. "Hot" Harry finished. Now it was my turn to blush.

"Thanks Harry, you both look good" well, Harry looked much better than Ron.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Well, yes, I have to admit Uncle Harry is more handsome than uncle Ron" Beverly said as she nodded.

"What? How can you say it? You're only seven!" Hermione said surprised.

"But born of a Malfoy. Its normal dear" Draco smirked at his wife "well, anyway, I was hotter than both of them that night"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Shall we go?" Ron asked as he opened the portrait door and I nodded.

We entered the great hall and we saw that the Ravenclaws had done a good job. It was decorated with all different colours and there was good music, thanks to Draco. I couldn't help but start looking for him. Where was he? With who was he? What was he wearing? Why are you caring so much, Hermione? I asked myself. Then, music started to play and Ron dragged me to dance.

"But I don't know how to dance, Ron" I said a bit embarrassed.

"Don't worry, me either" he smiled, so did I. I placed my hands on his neck and his on my waist and we danced. He was trying to get closer to me, but I always made him go back. He was my friend and nothing more.

After a few songs, we sat down and had some drinks. I couldn't stop looking for Draco. I found his uncomfusable white-blond hair in the middle of all the pairs dancing. I was just about to see who was the girl that dared to steal my Draco when Ron blocked my view.

"who are you looking for, Hermione?" he asked curiously.

"hmm? Oh no one in particular, just looking at the dresses" I lied "thanks, Ron" I said as he handed me my drink. After a while, we went to dance again. We danced for a few more songs and then… BUM! I had bumped into someone. Can you imagine who it was?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Was it Professor Dumbledore, mother?" her parents laughed.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Watch where you…" Draco started to say, but as he looked at me, he lost his words. He continued to stare at me as I stared at him. He was wearing an outfit of a noble in the medieval times. How hot he looked… but who was the girl with him? Red-headed…Ginevra Weasley?

10. Draco

how hot she looked… it was like if the dress she was wearing had been made only for her…she was like an angel… how could I haven't realised before?

"Drakie, are you okay?" the red-headed asked me. I looked at Hermione and saw her mouth opened. I smirked. But inside I felt bad for making her jealous. She did not disserve it. Then, and idea came to my mind when I heard Hermione say she was going outside and went away.

"Well I feel a bit dizzy… I think I'm going outside to breathe fresh air" I stepped outside the Great hall, now a dancing hall and breathed deeply. Then, I looked around trying to catch Hermione's perfect curls. Everywhere I looked I saw pairs snogging, except for a small dark corner. There I saw her, sat down all alone, nearly crying. I went towards her.

"What's wrong, Hermione?" I tried to sound sweet.

"Nothing! Go away and dance with that stupid friend of yours! I'm sure she is much better than me! You are wasting time, go and find her!" then, she started to cry silently and I saw a tear run down her cheek. I felt guilt run down my body. She was crying because of me. I hated when girls cried, and more if that girl was Hermione. You are turning soft, Draco.

I sat by her side and stroke her hair.

"my dear Hermione… you understand nothing do you? And they call you the most intelligent witch of our age?" she sent me a glare "first of all, Ginevra Weasly is NOT and never will be my friend. Secondly, you are much better than her, and I only chose to go to the ball with her to make you angry" she lifted her head and a small, shy smile was formed in her features. "But I am sure you wanted to go with that Weasel, so what are YOU doing here?"

"I went with Ron only because I had no one else to go with. Anyway, I don't want to go back, he is a horrible dancer" heh heh. I told her it was in their genes, Weaslette didn't dance well too.

"Bah, but you are nothing compared to Ron" she said triumphantly. WHAT? Weasle better than me? I would show her.

"Come" I got her hands and lifted her. Then, we heard a voice in the backround that told us that that was our last dance. I grinned. "I'll show you how superior to Ronald Weasley I am". She snorted.

"But I don't know how to dance…" I answered her that I would show her. (A/N: if you remember, she told Ron the same thing. Compare the answers, hehe)

A slow song started to play as I putted my hands on her waist and she placed hers on my neck. We started to move backwards and forwards slowly, at the music rhythm. I pulled her closer, savouring the moment. We were so close I could feel her breath, smell her hair. Feeling my eyes on her, she lifted her head and smiled. Our eyes locked as our faces came closer. Not being able to wait until our lips joined, I crashed mine against hers. Then, our mouths opened and we kissed with tongue for the first time. I hadn't felt that way before. It was like if I was in another world. I deepened the kiss and felt it more passionate, and I wanted more. It was the first time I felt something else that was not desire as I snogged a girl, that kiss was special. When we were without air, we separated but I hugged her strongly. I couldn't let her go. I wouldn't ever. I was accidentally in love with Hermione Granger and her kisses.

10. Hermione

I told him he was nothing compared to Ron and his face went red with anger. He told me to go with him as he lifted me. We heard some voice telling us that it was our last dance, and I was glad to spend it with Draco.

He placed his hands on my waist and automatically I putted mine on his neck. We swung as the music played, slowly and romantically. He pulled me closer and I smiled. I could feel his musculous body on mine. I felt his eyes on me and I lifted my head to see if I could read the expression in his eyes, but I only saw a thing I had never seen in Draco Malfoy, so I imagined I had confused myself. He looked directly at me and his lips find mine quickly. We drifted into a slow but romantic kiss. A one like I had never had. It was special, different, and perfect. I felt electric current run through my body as we parted away, breathing heavily. He hugged me and I couldn't hide it more. I was accidentally in love with my long time enemy, Draco Lucius Malfoy.

"Come on, let's go back" he said as he got my hand. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that maybe I was only a toy for him. A game.

"Draco… I… lets get this straight, Draco" I said firmly "we need to stop this game we play, or make it real". I was so nervous. I couldn't look at his eyes again if he told me it was just a game.

11. Draco

"Draco… I… lets get this straight, Draco" she said, decided "we need to stop this game we play, or make it real". I could see it in her eyes she was nervous and the answer she wanted. The one I also wanted. But it couldn't be that easy.

"Hermione. I lo-really, really like you. The way I have never liked anyone before. And let me add, that this is not a game for me. I wouldn't have taken so much risks just to snog a girl, I have plenty of them, you know. A Gryffindor, a mud-ggle born and best friend of my family's enemy. So I need some time. I need time to decide and to take the decisions you are asking me to take, which are huge. In a couple of weeks, you will find it out. Until then, we will let the fun continue" I smirked and winked at her. She left out a humpf and went away, trying to hide a smile. I couldn't believe I had just said that. Well, it was true but admitting it is another thing… I am a Malfoy after all…
