He found Hermione in their common room. Her face was wet like she was crying. He sat down next to her, asking what was wrong.

"I can't believe I was so stupid. I actually believed you liked me. How stupid can I get?" She was really upset, but Draco didn't understand.

"What do you mean Hermione? I do like you. Always have. You are the most amazing girl I ever met."

"You have a girlfriend! I saw you with Pansy. It was like she was glued to your arm." She was really hurt. Draco had to straighten this out. He lifted her chin so he could look in her eyes.

"Pansy is nobody. We broke up a while ago. She just doesn't get the hint. She is actually beginning to annoy me, even more than she did. You don't have to worry about her. I love you Hermione. Please don't ever doubt that." He brought his lips to hers. His stomach did a flip. He loved the feeling of her lips.

It took a second for Hermione to respond. Then she began to kiss him back. She pushed up against him. Draco pulled away after a while, out of breath.

"Wow. That was way better then I imagined," sighed Draco. Hermione just smiled.

Over the next week, Draco and Hermione you meet in the Dorm between classes. Draco would hold her in his arms until they had to run to their next class. They would leave each other with a small kiss.

One day, during Potions, Draco was working on the recipe on the board, when some blonde girl came over to him. She leaned over on his desk, exposing her chest to him. He stopped what he was doing and looked down at her.

"Need something?" He asked.

"No. You're hot. You've got muscles other guys don't." At this point she had made her way around the table and was running her hands over his arms. Draco glanced over at Hermione's table. Hermione was watching the blonde with a hateful stare. She looked like she was going to pop.

"Um thanks." He answered, now knowing what to do. The next thing he knew, Hermione had pulled the blonde off him and smacked her. Everyone froze, staring at Hermione.

"Keep your hands off! He is mine!" She yelled, grabbing Draco's hand. The blonde backed away, then turned and ran back to her table. Still fuming, Hermione turned back to Draco.

"Thought you didn't want anyone to know?" Draco teased as he wrapped his arms around the angry brunette.

"I couldn't stand watching her with her hands all over you."

After class, Draco walked up to the dorm, hand in hand. Draco was so happy. He hadn't liked having to hide his relationship.

Up in the dorm, the couple sat on the couch. Hermione laid her head in Draco's lap. He began to run his fingers through her hair. They just sat there in silence for a while, enjoying each other.

"Hermione… I want you to know I love you. I've loved you for a long time and I never dreamed we would be toge--'' Hermione shut him up by bringing her lips to his. Draco's stomach did a somersault. He pulled her close to him. It soon became heated. Draco picked up Hermione and carried her into his room. She began to undo his shirt.

"Wait. Are you sure you want to do this?" Draco panted.

"Of course. I love you too, Draco." Hermione said. The she waved her hand, and the lights went out.
