Hermione was in shock while staring at Ron after she rushed over to help Draco. "What is your problem!" She yelled. "All you ever do is tell me not to date anyone, and yet, you don't have the decency to ask me out on a date for once…"She paused and looked angry at Ron. "I think you've done enough damage thank you very much. Now go, both of you." She said feeling frustrated.

She turned back to look at her date who's nose was bleeding. She sighed. "Come on let get out of here." She muttered to him as she took him to the girls bathroom.

"I'm not going into the girls bathroom." Draco gritted his teeth.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "I'll ask if someone is in there." She walked in to check if the bathroom was clear.

"Come on the bathroom is clear." She dragged him in.

Draco looked at himself in the mirror. "That weasel can pack a punch." He frowned and noticed that his face was turning black and blue right before him.

"Let me take a look." She said after she grabbed a paper towel and wet it. As she was dabbing his nose, she took a glance at him every once in a while. "I don't know what's gotten to him."

Draco placed his finger on her chin so that she can look up at him. "It's because he's jealous of me."

Hermione's eyes went wide. "You only agreed to go out with me because you had no one else to take you." She smirked.

Draco raised his right eyebrow. "I know I have been harsh on you these past couple of years-"

"Harsh?!" Hermione yelled while interrupting him. "You think name calling me, is harsh?!" She then couldn't resist but to slap him across his cheek.

It was Draco's turn for his eyes to grow wide. He placed his hand on his cheek and sighed. "I deserved that." He paused. "I shouldn't have said those things…."

"Those things?" She dropped the paper towel and rushed out of the girls bathroom crying.

"Dammit!" Draco mutter then picked up the paper towel and placed it on his nose. He rushed out to catch Hermione. "Hermione…. Wait!" He yelled.

Hermione stilled when she heard her name. It was the first time he said her name. And she liked it? Did not want to turn around yet. She wasn't ready.

Finally Draco reached her just in time and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Please…I can't tell you enough how sorry I am for the way I acted. You see…I was brought up that way. I'm still learning from my mistakes. If you just give me some time…." He paused and kept his hand on her shoulder in hopes that she would understand what he was going through.

Hermione closed her eyes and sighed. Slowly she turned around and hugged Draco. "I'm so sorry.
