CHAPTER 5: A SWEET KISS FOR MY SLEEPING BEAUTY…

Once they entered the compartment behind Snape they saw that they were the last to arrive, and by some of the looks they received they could tell that many weren't happy about this.

As Hermione and Draco sat down Snape and McGonagall began to tell them and the prefects what they would be doing this year. While she was talking though both Draco and Hermione weren't really paying attention. They had other things on their minds.

When McGonagall had finished she issued each house's prefects with their house's password before she turned back to Hermione and Draco.

"Now Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Granger I expect you two to be exceptionally role models and show as much house-unity as you can this year, with the war ever looming we need to all work together otherwise nothing will be achieved." With this she gave them all of the houses passwords along with the password (peacemaker) for their Head Dormitories.

With this both Snape and McGonagall left the room leaving Hermione and Draco alone to discuss this morning.

Draco spared a glace at Hermione and saw that she had been treated badly after he had been taken away. He decided that when they got to their dorm he would get his salve out for her, it would help with the bruising and the cuts.

Hermione peeked a look at Draco he was looking at her 'oh my god' Hermione thought 'what does he want now?' then she saw him reach out for her arm. At first Hermione didn't know what to do but when he touched her arm she flinched and pulled away from him.

Draco could see that she was afraid of him… he needed to show her that he wasn't a threat. The only way he decided, was to tell her about Blaise's and his secret alliance to Dumbledore and the order. But would she believe him? That was the question.

'Oh why did this have to happen to her this morning?' Draco thought but he knew there was no other way to show her that he meant her no harm.

"Ok Hermione…" Draco began.

'Oh my god…' Hermione thought 'did he just call me Hermione and not Granger or mudblood…' she looked into his eyes and saw a pair of caring pale bluish-grey eyes instead of the harsh grey ones that had belonged to his father only this morning…

Draco looked at Hermione and saw her studying him; he smiled at her before continuing. "I know this will sound odd, compared to what everyone thinks of my father and I" Draco said, "but I'm not a Death Eater or a supporter of Voldemort." Draco suddenly paused to take a breath and wait for her reactions.

When Hermione heard this though she suddenly went into shock, 'if he really is on our side then why didn't he help save Ginny?' she thought before she contemplated getting up, 'no he's just making all this up to stop we from warning Harry and Ron about him' she thought as she removed her hand from his and stood up and began to walk towards the door. She needed to tell Harry and Ron about Ginny. But before she could get to the door Draco grabbed her hand making her stop and turn around.

'She didn't pull away' Draco thought, 'she might just believe me' he smiled before seeing the look on her face. 'Shit Draco. You're sending the wrong message, just hurry up and speak.' He thought as he saw her begin to look uneasy about the whole situation.

"Um…" Draco began 'great' he thought as he felt himself begin to blush "ah…" he tried again while running his hand through his long silvery white hair "Hermione…" 'Oh Merlin how do I say this?' he thought as he paused for a second and looked at the amused but confused face Hermione was giving him and nearly burst out laughing. "Will you stop looking at me like that, please?" he said as he tried to remain ever in control.

Hermione couldn't help it though they way Malfoy was acting calling her by her real name and not being able to say what he wanted to say it was almost as if he was in love with her. 'Could he be?' Hermione thought, 'nah, he couldn't like me' she concluded.

"Well look" Draco finally said knowing there was no other way, "I know you want to go and tell Harry and Ron about Ginny but please don't."

Hermione was shocked Draco Malfoy hadn't just called Harry and Ron by their real name had he? This was getting all too weird for Hermione. "I need to go." She said and pulled her hand away from Draco's and turned back towards the door.

'Shit, shit, shit' Draco thought 'she can't tell them about everything or else Dumbledore's whole plan will be ruined.' Draco paused he thought there was only one way to stop her from telling them but he didn't think now was the time so he took his wand out and muttered a charm 'if I have to do this then she might as well get to enjoy it.' He thought.

As he grabbed Hermione's hand and spun her around before pulling her in close and kissing her delicately on the lips. At first he could feel Hermione trying to resist but slowly he felt her close her eyes and kiss him back. Then she went limp.

'Good.' Draco thought it was a bit harsh to knock her out but he needed to grab Blaise and talk to Dumbledore before she got to Potter and Weasly. So he picked her up and carried her to the couch in the corner of the room, placing her gently on it.

'A sweet kiss for my sleeping beauty' he thought before leaving the room and locking it with a spell.

Then Draco rushed down the corridor to find Blaise before they could go and tell Dumbledore of today's events. All the way to the usual Slytherin compartment Draco couldn't get his kiss with Hermione out of his mind, her sweet delicate lips and the fact that she had kissed him back made the kiss all that more sweeter. Then Draco realised that he was at the compartment.

Draco wrenched the door open before looking for Blaise, when he saw him sitting in the corner surrounded with girls, some even Draco didn't know. When they caught each other's eyes Blaise soon realised what was up so he quickly excused himself from the girls before joining Draco and they then went to find Dumbledore while Draco filled Blaise in quietly on what had happened this morning.

A/N in my story Dumbledore is still alive and Draco has not yet become a death eater
