Author's note: hey guys….hopefull this update will be much sooner than the last one…well THANK YOU for your reviews…I really appreciate it…even if it is constructive criticism.

Speaking of constructive criticism…

Eliot Z. Wheatherbee - Dude, did you steal that scene from dracosgirl? whatever the ending numbers are.The one who wrote the No Longer Just A Mudblood series, and Relationships change series. I think you did. That's just not cool. I seriously hope the next scene isn't them waking up on the beach when it's dark, and not being able to find their swim gear. Also, you need to beta this chapter, they're a lot of mistakes

in it.

I didn't steal the scene from dracosgirl…and I don't think its cool either when ppl steal scenes. As you can see the next chapter does not consist of them waking up at night on the beach with their clothes of. And I'm sorry that there are spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in my previous chapter. Sometimes I can't really check them cause I'm really busy. Please don't take this as me dissing your review. I'm just explaining myself. But I didn't steal the scene from Dracosgirl.

Well, I'm really sick today so I'm writing this in hopes that if you get the chapter that you deserve I might get good karma back and get rid of my cold. My cousins are gonna be coming soon and probably won't be able to write another chapter after this one until January…I'm really sorry.

On with the story.

CHAPTER 15

Hermione woke up in the morning with the familiar feeling of strong arms wrapped around her waist and a cool refreshing breadth blowing on her ear and along her neck. She tried to get up to get some breakfast but that made Draco hold her tighter and he nuzzled into her neck.

She giggled from the tickling on her neck and Draco's childishness. He thought she was some kind of pillow. She sighed, realizing that there was no way of getting away from him. She was just gonna have to stay here till he woke up.

There was nothing to do but think. Memories of last night came to her. Dancing, grinding, kissing, the dark alley, and back to Draco's house. Last night they confessed their feelings for each other. Lust, Passion and most of all, Love.

Hermione was steered away from her 'memories' as Draco stared kissing her neck and shoulders softly. "Good morning sleepy," she said and turned over to face him. They shared a deep kiss.

"Do you mean what you said Hermione?" he asked sort of childishly as he looked away from her eyes sheepishly.

She put her hand around his waist. "Draco, you know how that day on the beach I left early?"

"Yeah…I kinda got worried cause I realized that-"

"you loved me?" she asked.

"Yeh…how'd you know?"

"I heard you think it over and over again…and I kind of…freaked out…" she looked away. "And then, when I went back home…I realized that during the last few months, I could hardly hear anything that people thought, just what you thought and after, in the beach, when you were thinking about you loving me and I went home, I realized that I couldn't hear anything no matter how hard I tried. And in the disco, I couldn't hear what you were thinking. And that made me realize, that I love you Draco. I love you, and I meant everything I said last night." She explained sweetly to him.

He kissed her softly. "I love you too Hermione,"

(A/N: I hate it when stories are like 'I love you Hermione Granger and I love you Draco Malfoy…its sooo cheesy)

Hermione and Draco boarded the Hogwarts Express as it slowly left the platform. As heads it was their duty to make a couple of rounds in the train every few hours. Other than that they could stay in their own compartment, where they did whatever they wanted.

During one of their rounds Draco got Hermione 'hot and bothered' and while they were kissing, Hermione, who's back had been pushed against a compartment door, made to open the door and when they got in they heard to males scream.

Hermione and Draco both opened their eyes to a very red Ron Weasley and some guy from Ravenclaw in a rather…bad situation to be seen.

"Holy Hell Weasel! You're gay! Oh My God!" Draco went into a fit of hysterics.

Hermione and Ron stared at each other, their faces both showing that they were thinking.

"I won't tell if you won't tell." They both said at the same time.

"Well then, that's settled…ha ha…we'll just be…uhh…going now…" Hermione said nervously, grabbed Draco by the collar and dragged him quickly out of the room.

"I guess we aren't the weirdest couple huh?" Draco said as he tucked a stray curl of hair stuck onto her face behind her ear. The fire crackled and made a silhouette around her face.

They were lying together on the Head common room couch. Underneath a green blanket lay their perfectly molded bodies tangled together. They were naked and sweaty from their love making session, Hermione's hands underneath Draco's and wrapped around his back, which now bore red marks from her nails. His hand was around the side of her face, and the other encircling her waist.

"Draco?"

"Mmm?"

"Do you think that we'll be accepted in the wizarding world together?" she asked.

"Wow Hermione…you're sounding more and more like Luna Lovegood everyday," Draco chuckled.

"But answer the question Draco,"

"Do you're parents care?" he asked.

"No,"

"Well then, we're good to go." He said simply laying his head on her chest.

"I have a brother you know," she said amusingly.

Draco murmered something in her chest and she asked him what he said.

"I said 'shit'" he told her truthfully.

"yup, he's really protective."

"Well, he can get screwed. I'm not going anywhere or doing anything without you." He closed his eyes and soon they both fell asleep.

Hermione entered the place she had called 'sanctuary' for a very long time.

The library.

She sat down at her usual desk and took out all her homework that she couldn't do in the holidays. A few minutes later she was busy at work, her hands scribbling furiously on her parchment.

"Hey Granger," she looked up to find Pansy standing across the table from her.

It was surprising how much she had changed. Her voice wasn't so clingy and annoying like before, she was wearing much less make up than before which actually made her look good and she wasn't dressed up as a slut.

"What…what happened to you?" Hermione asked. Pansy shrugged. She took a seat, obviously without asking.

"I need your advice. I know you're going to laugh at me but…try not to. I've given up on Draco. He doesn't like me and I think I wouldn't have been happy with him," Pansy said bluntly.

"You are a very random person."

"I'm in love with someone."

"And you're asking me advice on that?" Hermione asked her curiously.

"I definitely think he hates me."

"Well you can't blame him, if you were like this before, men would be at your heels,"

"You're not surprised at him hating me? Well how about this. I'm in love with one of your friends,"

"Ok. Now I'm surprised." Hermione declared. "Just…it isn't Ron right?" she added quickly. No girl, even Pansy, should fall in love with a gay guy. To find out that the love of your life was in love with a boy…was something…tragic.

"No…why?" Pansy asked suspiciously.

"Nothing. Don't worry…he's just in a relationship…"

"Yeah whatever…no…I was thinking more along the lines of…Harry." She said slowly as if letting it sink in.

"Potter?" Hermione said, surprised to the greatest extent.

"nah…the other one." Pansy said sarcastically.
