Chapter 6 PSST!

A/N: I KNOW IT TOOK FOREVER BUT I HAD HORRIBLE WRITERS BLOCK! LAST CHAPTER OF THIS STORY.

Hermione was walking through the festive-lit corridors, stopping to gaze once in a while. The decorations were B-E-A-U-tiful! The vibrant red and minty green colors belonged together. The only thing she hated about Christmas was mistletoes...........well ok, only this year..........but there is a good explanation!

This year she made head girl, as Draco Malfoy made head boy. This year Professor Dumbledore asked (ordered) them to be civil towards each other. This year Draco Malfoy had fallen completely head over heels for a Ms. Hermione Granger.

Basically, he changed but Hermione can't except it. On every regular school day he would walk her to class, sit next to her in class, offer to carry her RIDICULUSLY large amount of books to her class for her, but nope. She wouldn't budge. She wouldn't admit she liked him.

YES SHE LIKES HIM!

Hermione believes that Draco just isn't the one for her. Why should she give him a chance when she knows its not going to work out? But she can't help the butterflies in her stomach every time he smiles at her.

Well anyways, Draco isn't going down without a fight.

The daily gossip was going around the school:

Is there a Slytherin curse?

Where can I get my own Slytherin?

What the heck is in the pumpkin juice?

Draco didn't care though. He made his way to his usual seat at the Gryffindor table and sat down. Now this may come as a surprise to you, as it did to the rest of the school, but he did this quite often now. He plopped down next to Hermione as she massaged her temples.

"Draco, I really don't have time for you right now."

He frowned.

"I just wanted to talk to you. I wanted to know if.........um......never mind."

He swiftly got out of his seat and left. Hermione stared back at him in confusion.

"Psst! Potter!" Draco whispered loudly.

Harry made his way over to Draco suspiciously.

"Yes?"

"Well.....um....."

"Malfoy I suggest you get on with whatever you have to say because Luna is waiting for me."

"Ok! Well um you know how......like you.....and then-"

"Goodbye Malfoy."

"No wait!

He sighed..

I want to know how you got a mistletoe to um.....you know....yeah...."

Harry bursted into laughter.

"The great Draco Malfoy needs help with ladies!"

He broke into another thunderous laugh, stopping to catch his breath though after a coughing fit.

"Just tell me!" he whispered.

"First of all, we are in a CORRIDOR. There is absolutely no need for whispering, well at least in my position." he smiled as Draco glared, but listening intently.

Harry was silently contemplating on what he should do next.

"Secondly, Hmm....... Hermione is my friend and if I help you she'll probably get mad at me. Plus........ I kinda ran out of ideas. Sorry Malfoy, your on your own." he smiled as he walked away.

Draco sighed exasperatedly.

'Bloody women and their confusing brains! Hmm..... how am I going to make this work for me? Potty wont help me....... ah well. Guess I will just have to turn the Malfoy charm on extra high.'

Draco threw another note on Hermione's desk. She sighed, clearly annoyed.

"We are sitting right next to each other! Just talk to me!"

"I can't!" he said.

Thankfully Professor Slughorn dismissed the class.

Instead of following Hermione as he usually does, Draco made his way straight to Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Professor Dumbledore? I need to speak with you." Draco asked desperately.

"Do so as freely as possible, Draco. Please sit," his eyes twinkled.

"Sir, I was wondering if you could help me?"

"This is about your persistent act to pursue Ms. Granger I presume?"

"Yes sir. I was wondering if you could, perhaps just happen to place a mistletoe at the right place at the right time?" Draco looked completely defeated.

"Ah my dear boy, you will have to take that up with peeves. Though by the look on your face, I can tell you think its a lost cause. But no worries none the less! Listen close my boy,"

Draco leaned in closely, wanting to hear what ever he had to say.

'Brilliant! I should have thought of this before!' Draco thought.

Any second now Hermione was going to walk through the library doors and right into the trap of the devious Draco Malfoy. He magicked a mistletoe to appear above his head.. just when he was about to jump for victory, his "devious plan" crumbled into a million pieces.

"Ugh, stupid mistletoe! I thought he said this would work!" Draco kicked at the wall beside him.

Just when all hope was lost, a sweet angelic voice floated through his ears. Some would call it nagging and bossy, but he thought it was...........well actually he thought it was bossy too, but its the thought that counts!

"Like this Draco, your doing it all wrong. Flick your wand like this." she said.

A sweet face, cute smile, and a massive amount of curls pushed their way past Draco. He just stood there. Shocked.

She magicked a perfect mistletoe that stayed in its place, and turned to Draco expectantly.

But he just stood there. Shocked.

"Well?" she pestered.

Still standing, Draco opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it.

"Oh for merlin's sake! You walk around the school, clearly stating you fancy for one whole month, and now you don't want to kiss me?" she asked incredulously.

Draco didn't say a word.

Hermione rolled her eyes and walked up to him. She kissed him full on the lips without regret. This seem to snap Draco back into his senses, unfortunately this didn't happen soon enough for Hermione. She broke the kiss, and started walking back to her dorm, blushing in the process.

The only thing racing through Draco'.s mind was: WOW.

He turned to kiss her again, but noticed she was almost halfway down the corridor. He called after her.

"Wait! So does this mean you fancy me?"

Hermione turned around and smiled at him.

"You tell me, Romeo."
