CHAPTER 5 – Tell Her What?

hey... thank you for getting this far... and remember to review! hope this story is not bad... review! thank you... tanks again!

At almost midnight, Draco then realized that he had been standing outside for about 3 hours. And still, no progress of what to do with Hermione. He got tired standing on his feet and began to lower down to sit. Many thoughts passed through his mind, all of them concerning Hermione. He wanted to be with her for rest of his life. He knew now that the one girl he was looking for in love was ---- Hermione.

Early the next day, Hermione woke up feeling refreshed and ready. As she jumped out of bed, she stretched out her arms and looked out the window. Her arms dropped when she saw the figure which looked like Draco.

Yes, it was him. Though she did find it funny that he slept on ground that night.

She did laugh hilariously inside her head but she still had compassion. So, she went down into the garden wearing her robes since it was too early in the morning to have students waking up (except for Hermione).

She ran down to him and sat next to him. Although the night before, he had slept sitting down, he fell over and lay on cold ground. Hermione, still laughter inside of her, wondered why he didn't come up and sleep in his own bed instead.

She ran her fingers into his white blonde hair and ceased the laughter. This was the time when she realized that he definitely looked handsome and so much the same as he did when he had kissed her the night before.

It was the look that made Hermione weak in the knees and started to fall for him.

Draco then woke up rubbing his eyes. He sat up and saw Hermione.

"What happened last night?" he said still sounding sleepy. Hermione just giggled but became more serious and answered, "Nothing really. We just... kissed."

Draco stopped rubbing his eyes and looked through hers. "Oh...yeah. I remember now." he said getting closer to her.

She then, feeling scared, looked down and said, "Um... You fell asleep here. After I left..."

Draco then looked down and she started to stand. As she stood up, she held out a hand for Draco to hold up.

He looked at it and grabbed it. Hermione pulled him up and to his surprise, put an arm around his waist.

In response to this, he put his arm around her neck.

"Come on, I'll bring you to your room." he said still walking arm to arm.

They walked in that position until they got to Hermione's door. "Uh..." she said taking her arm from his waist, "You should get some real sleep, Dra --- Malfloy. Sleeping on the ground doesn't really count." She started to open her door and whispered, "Sweet dreams."

Draco stood out her door a few moments after she closed it. He went to his room and lay on his bed trying to sleep.

But he couldn't. So he decided to head to the bathroom and wash his face.

He got in the bathroom and turned the tap on sink. Water started to flow and he splashed some on his face. He wiped it off with a towel and looked at his reflection on the mirror. "How am I going to tell her?" he whispered to himself.
