Hermione watched as the sun set in the distance as she walked over the small pebble pathway that went between two isles of bushes, as if the garden was guiding her.
She saw the wooden circle of timber strips all going horizontally up, and creating a giant barrel. On the inside it was a marble seating and then of course flowing over that gently was the hot water it provided.
Hermione tapped Draco on the bare shoulder, he was wearing no shirt, as she came to the edge of the hot tub.
The blonde felt a cold hand tap his shoulder, he turned around to see a shivering Hermione wearing a dressing gown, hair flying in the wind and the garden lights and the hot tub gave a luminous glow as the set had finally set.
Draco watched as she came beside him on the edge of the hot tub. "Sitting out here all alone?" She asked.
Draco starred at the bubbling water beneath him. "What so your ignoring me now?" She asked.
Draco laughed sarcasticly. "Im the one ignoring you?"
Hermione sighed, "Hey i only sat with Ginny so you could sit with who you really and actually wanted to."
Draco sighed, "I wanted to sit with you! I even asked the house elves in the kitchen to make some of those pudding cake things that you like so you could eat it on the way."
Hermione's heart dropped with guilt. "Why do you think i did that?" He asked.
Hermione shrugged and sarcasticly answered, "Because you really like pudding?"
Draco sighed and laughed as she set herself at the top of the rock stairs into the hot tub. She let her legs sit in the water, the dressing gown still wrapped around her.
"For someone who gets good grades you sure are dense." Draco added. added as he put his arms along the side of the hot tub.
Hermione turned to afce him in the steps, She sighed. "Im sorry i didnt sit with you on the bus."
"Its fine." He said softly.
Hermione glanced into his eyes and blushed. She was glad it was dark now.
Hermione then pulled the night gown off of her shoulders and left it in a heap on the steps of the hot tub, then she stepped in entirely and shivered as the temperature changed. She looked at Draco with whatever courage she had left and tok a few steps towards him as she rose up out of the water a bit and looked him in the face.
"Hi." She siad strangely.
Draco blushed brightly and she could see it from the glow of the hot tub as he brought as arm around her waist under water and then brought her legs onto his lap and so they were around his back.
"Theres no one like you Granger." He said before he leant in and kissed her softly. He brought his arm around her back as Draco kissed her harder.
Then Hermione pulled away from him a bit. "What?" he asked dissapointed. Hermione looked him in the eyes, "Nothing." Then she leant forward and kissed him. It was this moment that Hermione unmistakably and completely knew, she was in love with Draco Malfoy. For real.
As the couple kissed in the moonlight, little did they know, a girl of black hair and a Slytherin jumper was recording on a camera by the glass sliding door. Making sure that Hermione would regret her decision.

Once the party inside had calmed, around midnight, and everyone else was in bed. Hermione and Draco came back inside, Draco walking with his dressing gown, and Hermione with hers and they held hands, because they wanted to. "Weve got all week to enjoy this, besides their throwing a party tommorow, by the fire, were gonna play rubber bullet tiggy."
Hermione frowned, "Whats that?"
"Well its like paintball shooting except with rubber bullets and it kinda stings a lot more." He added. Hermione frowned, "They packed 160 rubber bullet guns?"
Draco nodded, "Yep."
The snow outside began to increase, "Lets go to bed." Hermione shivered as they walked down the red carpeted corridor balcony and into their room as he captured her lips again.

Hermione gave her bags to the bus driver to heave into the under bus compartment and looked up at the building that Christmas Couples Camp was held. She had the best time of her school year there, she fell in love, Real love, They partied alot, and she hadnt lost her virginity (wich was a good thing for Hermione).
Then she climbed onto the bus and spotted Pansy over near Draco, but Draco's eyes were looking at her, Pansy hadnt taken the seat yet she was hovering over the side of the chair smiling at him and trying to talk to him. Hermione remembered her promise and walked over putting her bag up above into the storage space and shoved Pansy as she slid into the seat, "Excuse me but that seat is for me!" She whined. "Not anymore." Hermione snapped before turning to Draco, "Hey."
Pansy glarred on hoping Hermione would change her mind and get out of the seat. Then Draco knew only one thing would make Pansy go. "I missed you," He smirked before he leant forward and kissed her softly, and then taking his hands on her cheeks and pulling her in. Pansy scoffed in disgust before hurrying off to find a seat.
Hermione pulled away from him and watched as he reached into his backpack and pulled out three pudding cakes and handed them to Hermione. "Here."
Hermione smiled with delight before she took the cakes and began eating them. "I hope their not stale." He said apologetically. Hermione bit into her second one and ate the chocolate desert, "No their really good!" She munched.
Draco admired the fact that when she finished she'd wipped all of her mouth except from a small blob of choclate on her face. Draco leant in a kissed it off of the corner of her mouth. Hermione looked into his eyes then she turned away, unsure why. And then suddenly her thoughts drifted on when they got back. Ron. Thats what it was. She was missing him just now. She thought she wouldnt but now it was dawning on her.
Hermione leant her head on Draco' shoulder and chest. "Your like a pillow." she said before drifting off to sleep.
