Chapter 4
'What am I doing?' Hermione screamed to herself. I'm dating Ron I can't go around kissing Malfoy, Malfoy! What oh what am I, he is a good kisser though. No I can't do this no matter how much I don't want it, no cannot think like, what the hell I already am.
'Draco pull yourself together you can't go around kissing Granger, she isn't the kind who cares she is so beautiful. Wait what am I saying, What am I doing? Oh who...' Before Draco knew what was happening Hermione all the sudden pulled away and looked at him. Her eyes seemed to be questioning him. He didn't know what to say, hell he didn't think he could put a bloody sentence together after that. Never in his life had he ever kissed a girl with such, such care. It was unbelievable. He needed to do something to show he wasn't going soft. He looked back at her and he caught her eyes. Questioning, wondering what happened that's all he could see but there was something else care maybe, no why would she care for him. He always made fun of her and he hurt her all the time but sometimes things change maybe this was one of the times. Thinking about it scared him. He has liked her since fifth year that's why all the rude comments have died down he still made fun of her when ever he could but not as much. This was so new to him he liked her but she was dating Ron but it could work, it just could.
Hermione broke off the kiss. She just looked at him her brain finally won the battle. But the brain always wins over the heart there is no competition. But the way her heart was singing was telling a different story. She just looked at him completely stunned and she for once in her life just couldn't think of anything to say. She looked up at him and there eyes met and she saw it just as she knew he did. There were feelings but they were not going to say anything at least not know. The war was brewing she knew it, he knew it. They were on different sides she was best friends with the one person he hated most. 'Why am I thinking like this kiss is going to start this amazing relationship, its Malfoy.'
"Uh . . . Granger?" Draco didn't know what else to say this seemed to say everything. It showed the uncertainty of what to do next. She just looked at him opened her mouth as to say something closed looked back at him opened her mouth then closed it. Seeing this he knew she was in the same boat no idea as to what happened and to scared to find out.
"It's Hermione, please just call me Hermione." She whispered, slowly catching his gaze they came to a mutual agreement. He held out his had and simply said, "Draco." Shaking hands both departed Hermione left, probably going to the library he thought and Draco to his room.
The next morning, Hermione woke up early enough to see the sun rise. She then proceeded to get ready for her day and head down to breakfast. For some reason, which Hermione knew, she was completely happy. Feeling as if she was on top of the world she sort of glided down to the great hall and sat right across Ron and next to Harry as usual. Forgetting all about her anger from the day before.
Last night, after she left, she thought a lot and figured that her and Mal - Draco could be friends. She thought that this would be a good idea and they could just put the kiss on the back burner. (Maybe for later, she thought) Ron gave her a very quizzical look.
"Hermione . . . um . . look I'm sorry about yesterday and I hope you will forgive me and go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Ron sort of slurred out between eating his biscuits. Not paying any attention Hermione just nodded and mumbled out sure. Still thinking of last night it would be burned into her memory forever. Who knew one kiss could do this?
Walking, down to the great hall, Draco was mad. He didn't get any sleep because every time he close his eyes all he saw was a certain brown eyed girl. He wanted her this he figured out last night but Ron had her. All he needed was a way to get him out of the way which he thought would never happen. So many people want those two together only god knows why. Its so obvious she isn't happy. This is also why he couldn't sleep he all the sudden cared more about how she was feeling and couldn't care about anything else. This was bad he was infatuated with the one girl that wasn't available.
"Blaise." Draco said and sat down next to his best friend. 'I wonder if I could tell him, oh what am I thinking he would laugh. Why am I thinking like such a girl.
"Looks like wonder couple got back together." Draco's eyes followed Blaise's statement and saw Hermione and Ron leaving hand in hand. There was a pang in his gut, he just pushed it aside and tried not to look at her but he couldn't tear his eyes away from her. She seemed happy, just as he was about to look back down she turned her head and looked straight at him. Then she smiled and looked back at Ron, but not before she looked around at him again.
Heading down to potions, Draco kept thinking about her smile. She genuinely smiled at him and he couldn't help but smile a little but smiling wasn't his style. Oh who cares, he thought she makes me smile no girl has ever done that. He slowly walked to potions trying to gather his thoughts he couldn't look like a softy in front of Snape he would never live it down. Without any warning he accidently bumped into a couple in the hall.
Hermione turned around how rude of people to just bump into her. She was trying to explain to Ron the importance of a polysepalous root. When she was fully turned around she was looking right into the eyes of Draco. She had to catch her breath and slow her heart down she was surprised it wasn't echoing off the walls as loud as it was in her ears.
"Granger, could you move your blocking the way for us pureblood's and we don't like it when the likes of you get in are way." Draco said coldly. He didn't mean to say that he could see the hurt in her eyes even though she would act as if, it were nothing.
Hermione just looked at him she didn't know what to think. He didn't mean she thought to herself he couldn't have. She looked right into his eyes and she saw it he didn't mean to say that. She almost gave a happy yes. But caught herself just glare at him and go into the potions room, just glare. And that she did successfully and left.
Draco saw it though when she looked at him she saw that he was sorry he could see it in her eyes she seemed happy so he just followed her example and walked into the cold, moldy potions room.
