I can't believe Malfoy actually kissed me thought Hermione. Hermione knew it was a gentleman's gesture and nothing more. Hermione couldn't helpp but have a fantasy or two about Draco. Event through Hermione didn;t want to admit it, Draco was hot. She wish they could date for real instead of pretend.

That night Draco owled her and told Hermione he would floo to her house at 2 tomorrow afternoon. Hermione owled him back to say yes.

The next morning Hermione got up early and took a bath. She left her hair down and dressed in a tube tube and some hip huggers. She put one a little make up. Hermione was nervous abot the meeting with Draco later that day. Hermione was up in her room when her mother called for her. She heard her father laughing as she came down stairs. Hermione saw it was Draco that her father was joking around with.

"Hermione you look great" said Draco.

"Thanks, Draco"said Hermione. Draco, Hermione and her parents talked until Draco and Hermione went upstairs.

"So Draco what are we doing to day" said Hermione

"I think we need to get our story straight and practice acting like a couple" said Draco.

"Draco are we going to come out as a couple when school starts or wait awhile" said Hermione.

"I think we should wait until about a week before the Halloween dance to hook up" said Draco.

The decided to start with their story. They been secret friends for awhile. So they helped each other learn things about themselves.That part took awhile. Then they practice boyfriend and girlfriend behavior. They practice holding hands, looking lovingly at each other, and kissing. They both seemed to like that part. At first the kisses was soft and shy, but after awhile they both got into it. The kisses became passionate and steamy. They were interupted by Hermione's older sister.

After practing everything Draco took Hermione to the movies. Draco went home and left Hermione thinking that pretending to be Draco's girlfriend would'nt be so bad.

-------------------------------------- DRACO'S POV

I can't believe what a great kisser Hermione is. She made me feel free and not in control. I can't believe that Weasel would choose that Luna girl over Hermione. Hermione's kisses alone would satify a man. Even if you hungered for more the kisses would be enough. Weasel must be the stupidest guy in the world.

---------------------------- HERMIONE'S POV

I can't believe I kissed Draco like that it was nice, but definitely werid. The passion was so there to bad it is all pretend. I hate to have to listen to my sister Anna about me making out with Draco. It was worth it to see the total look of shock on her face. Draco is a very skilled kisser. I wish Ron would have kissed me like that.

-------------------------------------- END OF POV

Back at home her sister was questioning her about Draco.

"So who was that guy" said Anna. Hermione knew it was pointless to not say anything. So she just told her a short version of it.

"Draco is just a friend from school" said Hermione.

"Well I usually don't see you kissing guy friends like that. So just spill" said Anna.

So Hermione told Anna how Ron had cheated on her and that Draco was helping get over him. That the kissing was just and accident.

"Accident my foot you like this guy" said Anna.

"So and what I am to do about it. If I get together with him now it look bad"said Hermione

"Just wait about a month after school and start dating him" said Anna.

"It seems so sudden. I just broke up with Ron" said Hermione

"Hermione, that stupid git cheated on you. He did so in a public place. He made a fool of you. You deserve a guy that would treat you right" said Anna.

"You are right. By October Draco will be mine" said Hermione.

Hermione decided that Ron would suffer for everything he done to her. She been a great girlfriend but because she wasn't ready for the next step he dumped her. He was going to pay big time.

That night she recieved owls from both Harry and Ginny. They basically said they were sorry and hope she is doing well. She owled them back and said she was doing fine. She told Ginny she had something to tell her.

The next morning she got and owl from Draco. He wanted her to floo to his house around 10a.m. Hermione took a shower and got dress. She wore a halter top and some black jeans. She ate breakfast and flooed to Malfoy Manor.

When she arrived Draco was waiting for her. "Good morning Hermione" said Draco.

"Good morning to you. So what are we doing today" said Hermione.

"Just hang out and my mother wants to meet you" said Draco.

"Why" said Hermione.

"She wants to meet the girl that has been keeping me busy"said Draco

"Okay" said a nervous Hermione.

"Don't worry she is going to love you" said Draco.

They wanted to a room that was beautifully decorated. It was undescribable.

"Draco so this is Hermione. She is breathtaking" said Narcissa hugging Hermione.

"It is nice to meet you Mrs. Malfoy" said Hermione.

"Forget about formalities and call me Narcissa. So it is about time you to got together"said Narcissa.

"What do ou mean mom" said a confused Draco.

"Honey the way you complain about her was obvious you had feelings for her" said Narcissa.The two teens just stayed quiet for awhile. They were wondering is this what everyone else thought to. Before they could say anything Lucius walked in.

"Narcissa I found you and who is this" said Lucius looking at Hermione.

"This is Draco's girlfriend Hermione" said Narcissa.

"Why does that name sound familiar"said Lucius.

"She is Potter's friend. You know the girl with the bushy hair" said Draco.

"You don't look like her" said Lucius.

"The Hermione you knew was a made up character. I also used glamor charms"said Hermione.

"May I asked why" said Lucius.

"Because of my looks I was treated differently. But the glamor charms allowed me to blend in with the crowd" said Hermione.

"I see" said Lucius. For some reason Hermione felt that Lucius was testing her or something.

"Mr. Malfoy what is your deal" said Hermione.

"What do you mean" said Lucius.

"Are testing me or something" said Hermione.

"I guess the rumors were true. You are a bright little witch. Yes to your question. I don't want my son dating just anybody" said Lucius.

"Well it is not your choice it is his and the girl he so chooses" said Hermione.

"So why are you acceptable" said Lucius.

"Because I am a lady with grace and poise" said Hermione. Lucius started laughing at that.

"You have balls I can tell you that" said Lucius.

"So do you approve of us" said Hermione.

"Yes I do" said Lucius. Hermione was happy about that. Hermione spent a good 3 hours talking to Lucius and Narcissa. They were quite entertaining. They were very nice people. Hermione understood why Draco wanted to do this. Hermione was going to do a good job. After they finished talking they all went to the quidditch field. Hermione was teamed up with Narcissa and Draco with Lucius. Hermione and Narcissa won. Lucius and Draco claim they cheated.
