Chapter eight:

Hermione rushed through the hallways, her mind panicked and fretted. She had to find Ginny. She sprinted to the Gryffindor common room, and just as Hermione thought, she was there. She walked in calmly, not wanting to worry the boys.

"Ginny, can we please talk for a second?" Her three best friends gave her a curious look then Ginny got up and they walked out of the common room and strolled towards the gardens.

"What is it 'Mione?"

"We kissed." Hermione wanted out with it quickly. She saw the look on Ginnys face, full on confusion.

"What? Who? You and Ron? That's fine." It's true, Hermione used to want to be with Ron, but not anymore, she loved him like a brother, to her, it felt incest.

"No Ginny. Not Ron" Hermione looked up at her best friend, threw her arms in the air then slid down the wall to sit down, head on her knees.

Ginny sat down, "What?" Hermione looked at her best friend.

"Malfoy" Ginny laughed, That's funny 'Mione, but really who did you kiss?"

"I am being totally honest, I kissed Malfoy…"

"What? Are you crazy?" Ginny stood up and glared at her best friend.

"I don't want to argue with you right now Ginny, please just listen too me" Ginny looked at her, but said nothing.

"I was walking to the library, and I heard moans of pain, I walked around the corner and Draco was on the floor, in pain. He was under the cruciatus curse Ginny! I took him to the Room of Requirement, and I was fussing over him, I was scared for him, and then, we just, kissed, right there, it was… nice" Hermione shrugged then stood up, about to walk away, not wanting to fight.

Ginny laughed. "What?" Hermione said curiously, and then her best friend pulled her in to a tight hug.

"I don't really mind, I don't have that much against him, besides, it was probably just a mishap" Ginny pulled away, realizing it was time for lunch; they headed towards the Great Hall.


Draco was sitting at the Slytherin table, staring at 'The Trio' his mind still lingering on the kiss. He didn't know why he had done it, or what brought him too. But he knew that he had to talk to Hermione about it.

"Draakkkeeeyyy" Draco heard a high pitched voice right in his ear.

"Pansy" He grumbled.

"Whatccha looking at Drakey?" Said pansy, her voice annoying as ever.

"Nothing, leave me alone" Draco shot her a grimace and pansy knew not to disturbing. Pansy huffed and went back to talking to Blaise.

Draco got out a piece of parchment, and secretly wrote a note, he was planning on passing it to granger somehow.

The Trio got up to leave, and Draco knew this was his perfect moment. Draco got up, Blaise, Pansy and Goyle following behind him closely, not needing to ask what he was doing as they all headed over to The Trio.

"Eugh, what do you want Malfoy?" asked the Weasel.

"Oh, sorry Weasel, I just came for a friendly talk" Draco smirked and his lackeys laughed. Draco noticed Hermione's cheeks redden as they met eyes, and she instantly looked down at the ground. Hermione was holding her books close to her chest. "But, I can see I'm not welcome, ta ta" Draco smirked again, walking away from them; he bumped in to Hermione, placing the note on top of her books.


"Are you okay Hermione?" Asked Ron, who was now boring holes in to the back of Dracos head.

"Yeah, I'm fine, lets go" The boys began talking about Quidditch, and Hermione was behind them, they were not too far from their next class, potions, and Hermione opened the note

RoR 8.30.

Please come.
