Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, only the plot.

Chapter nine:

"Draco?" Hermione walked in to the Room of Requirement curious and frightened. Suddenly a dark figure stepped out from the dark.

"Hermione we have to talk" Draco sat down on a couch and Hermione went and sat next to him.

"What is it Malfoy? I am quite busy you know" Hermione couldn't even look up at Draco, a blush creeping up on her face.

"I kissed you" Hermione was astounded by how straight forward he was, her face shot up and she looked in to his beautiful grey eyes.

"Yes, that is right Malfoy, just a simple mistake, you were hurt and I was there, that is all, I have to go" As quick as she arrived, Hermione got up and left, she walked out of the room before Draco could open his mouth and protest.

"God dammit, The Dark Lord will not be happy." Draco stood up and started to run after Hermione. When he finally caught up, he grabbed her arm and pulled her in to an empty classroom.

"Draco! That hurts! Let go of me!" Hermione was pinned against the wall, Draco in front of her. Draco could smell the Honey, Hermione could smell the pears.

Draco leaned in a bit closer, Hermione didn't protest. Their lips collided, Hermione opening her mouth, letting Draco's tongue slip in.

Hermione had kissed people before, but never had she kissed someone like this, she couldn't help it, the smell of his cologne, and the taste of his lips.

Draco pulled away and saw Hermione blush.

"I just thought I would remind you what it's like, to kiss someone as amazing as me" Draco snickered and walked to the other side of the classroom.

"What do you want Draco?" Hermione knew that he wouldn't kiss her for nothing.

"Oh nothing" Draco turned around, not expecting Hermione to be so close, he jumped back and Hermione giggled. Draco had to admit, her smile was beautiful and she was very intelligent, they were quite the match. 'You have a task to do Draco! Get it done!' he scolded himself. Hermione slid down the wall and Draco went to sit next to her.

"What do you want Malfoy?" She said more serious this time. "You would never kiss me, a mudblood, without wanting something, so tell me" Draco had to admit, he didn't want to do this task, he wasn't as bad as people thought he was, but he had to protect his family. So he lied.

"Your just a play toy, felt like I wanted a kiss, bye Mudblood" Draco got up and left.

Hermione sat there, helpless and hurt, she didn't know what she felt towards Draco, but she didn't hate him, she wanted his lips more than anything. A single tear dripped down her left cheek, she had to talk to Ginny.

Draco didn't know what to feel towards Hermione, it's true, she wasn't half as bad as he thought he was, but she was a friend of Potty and a muggleborn at the least. He could never feel anything more than hate towards her, but he did regret what he said, not only because it would affect his task, but because he saw the pain in her eyes.

"Hermione was wondering where she could find Ginny, needing to talk to her, and luckily, she walked around the corner right at that moment. "Ginny!" Ginny looked straight at Hermione and could tell instantly she was upset, so she ran.

"Hermione, what is it?" Ginny asked, wiping away the tear on Hermione face.

"He kissed me again" Ginny opened her mouth, shocked.

"Well, why are you crying?, I thought you would have liked that!"

"I – I did, but then he got up and called me a play toy and a mudblood!" Ginny pulled her friend in to a tight hug.

"He's not worth your tears Hermione, he's a jerk, don't listen to what he says, and just stay away from him.

"I'm a jerk am I?" Hermione pulled away from her best friend and turned around.

"Oh, well if it isn't the famous Draco Malfoy! Come to taunt me more have you?" Hermione accused. Draco never thought her words would bother him, but they definitely did.

"I am sorry for saying what I said to you" Ginny gasped, but Hermione just stood and started at him.

"Anything else Malfoy?"

"That is all"

Malfoy barged past Hermione, placing a note in her hand. Hermione opened it, trusting Ginny.

Hermione.

Same time, same place tomorrow."

Draco.

Ginny smiled at her best friend. "Well, are you going to go? He genuinely seemed sorry."

Hermione was so glad she had a friend as understanding as Ginny.

"I guess I will, but you can't tell anyone!"

"I promise Hermione! Come on, it's almost curfew, we have to get back to the common room!" Hermione and Ginny giggled, and then started to run.

Hermione and Ginny walked in to the Gryffindor common room giggling, they said their goodnights to the boys and headed off to bed.

Hermione couldn't sleep. Her head replaying the kiss, replaying the look in Draco's eyes and his voice when he said sorry, the taste of his lips, still on hers, and the smell of his cologne lingering in the air. She realized something at that moment. Hermione – even if small – a crush on Malfoy.

A/N: I'm sorry guys, I know this is a short chapter, but their kiss should have satisfied your thirst for now, I am just not in a writing mood, as I mentioned up the top. I miss my dog. Anway, blah blah blah I know, have a good day and update soon. Review! (:
