I haven't written in a while so I hope you guys like my 4th chappy!

Draco's eyes followed her scurrying out the doors. He knew what was in the package, he just wished he could see her face when she opened it. He was certain that she'd love it. He he had seen it and knew he should buy it for her. Maybe this would help his chances with her. Included was a quill and ink set. It was the best you could buy. Anywhere. There was also a note.

'Hermione, meet me at Honeydukes tomorrow at eleven. It'll be so crowded no one will notice us in there together. Find a way to get rid of your friends.'

He had remembered that there was to be a Hogsmeade trip tomorrow, luckily. He hoped she would actually show up and that she would appreciate his gift. Who knew, maybe she would even TALK to him for once in public.
He slowly walked to potions class. He had potions class with the Gryffindors. Hermione wasn't back from the dormitories yet. He was still thinking about her though. He was trying to ignore Crabbe and Goyle, they were quietly talking together about Pansy's butt. Draco had better things to think about. Things like...well, like Hermione. He didn't see how anyone could have eyes for anyone BUT her. She was beautiful. With her bushy hair and her gorgeous eyes. Actually, he never really looked at the color of the eyes, just the eyes as a whole glorious masterpiece.

"Umm...Draco? Is something wrong?" said Pansy, suddenly right next to him.

"No, why would something be wrong?" Draco said, scowling.

"Well, seeing as how you're humming 'A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love', I am starting to get a little suspicious. Plus you have a big goofy grin on your face."

Draco immediately stalked off, removing the stupid grin. He couldn't believe he'd been singing one of his MOM'S favorite love songs. God, he was turning soft. He made a sharp left towards the dungeons. He headed down, and there was Snape. This was the only class Draco enjoyed, he had no greater amusement than watching Potter get told off by the teacher.

"Hello Draco." Snape said. Class wasn't for another fifteen minutes. Oh well. That was OK by Draco. At least he had lost Pansy. He wondered if Hermione would show up to class. And if so, what would she say to him? Would she say anything?
Draco watched silently as the rest of the class filed in. There she was, with the bloodtraitor and Potter. She wasn't looking at him. She was acting like she usually did. Draco was furious at this. So his present meant nothing to her? He watched her pull out her quill. They weren't even the ones he had bought for her. Draco silently swore under his breath, so much for meeting at Honeydukes. He barely paid attention to Snape the whole lesson. He was trying not to look at the mudblood, but couldn't help himself. One time he could've sworn he saw her check to make sure Potty and Weasel weren't looking then look at him for a fleeting second, look back down at her ingredients and nod, like a signal. Maybe Draco would go to Honeydukes tomorrow after all.
Draco spent the rest of the classtime daydreaming about their trip to Hogsmeade. He figured he'd show up with a single red rose. How romantic could you get? If she was ready for it, they could go to the three broomsticks. Together. But if someone they knew saw them, they'd both be in trouble. Draco would think of something. Maybe they would both "get sick" and have to come back from Hogsmeade. Draco also imagined getting a hotel room and spending a quiet lunch by themselves. And who knew...there would be a free bed waiting for them. Draco didn't think about that too much, Hermione probably wouldn't go for that idea anyways.

"Draco?"

Draco got out of his daydreaming, "Huh? Yeah?" Suddenly Draco saw that the whole class had left. Snape was staring at him oddly.

"Listen Draco, you need to get Granger out of your mind. If your father knew..."

"What? Why do you say I'm thinking about Granger?"

"Well, practically the whole class period you were looking at her. Listen, I realize she's pretty, even I can tell that. But she's dirty blood remember. I just hope
you don't get caught."

"You aren't going to tell my father are you?"

"No, but don't say I didn't warn you." And with that, Snape strolled into his office, looking at Draco one last time.Draco scurried out of the dungeon and took one of his shortcuts to get to his next class. On his way he ran into the Weasel.

"Watch where you're going Weasel." Draco sneered. Weasley just gave him a look of disgust. Hermione was standing right next to him. So was Potter.

"Why don't you watch where YOU'RE going ferret-face." Draco hated being called that. JUST because some idiot had turned him into a ferret in 4th year? Was he ever going to live that down? His father had taught him how to transform other people into small mammals. Maybe a rat would be good for the Weasel. Or better yet, a weasel. Draco thought he could handle that. But better not, Hermione was still watching him. Draco just scowled and walked off.

Draco could hear Ron talking behind him, "Hey...let's go Hermione. Why do you keep looking at him? Let's go." Draco smirked. So she did actually like him.

Draco got through the night, but barely. It seemed everywhere he went there was a girl wanting to flirt with him. What didn't they get? He did NOT want to flirt with anyone but Hermione, and maybe Ginny, she was kinda pretty. Not Hermione beautiful, but pretty. Hermione was more, sophisticated, elegant. Ginny was cute and bubbly. But Draco had heard from some of his friends the stuff she does. He could just imagine what her brother would say. She was a naughty, naughty girl. Might be fun though sometime. Maybe for a few galleons she might go out with him and THEY could rent a hotel room. But enough about Ginny...Draco's mind started thinking about Hermione again. Her skin, her eyelashes, everything he had seen. Her cute little nose, her little freckles. Everything on her was perfect. Draco couldn't wait til the next day.
