Draco does like her…a lot (wink wink) and all these changes will make sense, don't worry and because of these changes there is a reason why Draco and Hermione are so interested in each other and no one else… so read on to find out how and why!!! J

She followed him out. She had his unusual urge to kiss him again from the time he kissed her before, making up some pathetic excuse as to why she carried it through, just to get back at him. Malfoy had kept to the shade as did she, there was just something strange about the way the sun was affecting her. She checked her arms, they were fine not burning, not red. It was definitely not sunburn if it vanished within seconds. Malfoy glanced behind and she heard him laugh to himself. God she wanted to hit him again.

He turned a corner ahead of her and she picked up the pace to pursue him. As she walked around the edge herself, something or someone grabbed her and held her against the wall of an alley. She blinked obliviously startled, glancing around her to see who had grabbed her and where she was. Malfoy looked around the alley entrance, not many people were around but moved them further down into the shaded areas.

He held her firmly but gently against the wall. Draco needed to taste her lips properly, this time. The jolt in his body before only got their lips to brush, it was as if he contained a monster within him, wanting Granger for itself. She locked eyes with him.

"What do you think your doing Malfoy? Didn't I not say: don't ever take advantage of me again?" she questioned him with a slight warning to her voice, raising an eyebrow as she did. He stepped closer to her, he could smell her scent. The jasmine blossom aroma from her hair; her delicate, musty perfume that wrapped around her body and strangely, a warm, sweet smell coming from…her neck?

He lent into her to smell the scent. He breathed on her neck and inhaled the richness of the fragrances mixed together. The odour on her skin smelt as sweet as Honey, he wanted to glide his lips over her neck to taste it but could hear her heart beat quickening and he could feel her blood flowing rapidly around her. Her adrenalin must have set in.

"Malfoy what are you doing?" asked Hermione quickly. She caught his eyes again, were he noticed their colour changing frequently. Forming a dark brown colour and then rolling into a deep green.

"Your eyes are changing colour," he whispered, watching them turn back to their original hazel appearance. She calmed down.

"They are? I heard my mum say something about them but that's a bit strange," she scratched her head. Bringing her arm down she checked her watch. It read 15:15pm, "I was supposed to go and pick my puppy up."

"Yeh me too," he replied walking away and then stopping to look back at her, silently requesting her to walk with him, "You coming?"

Hermione brushed herself down and returned a quick smile before joining him at the alley entrance. They walked in silence until Hermione noticed the warmth and height of the sun beginning to fall and decided to make conversation.

"Thank goodness, the suns going down, eh?" said Hermione trying her luck to break the ice. It was already weird walking with Malfoy.

"Why? You not like the sun? Are you a night person?" he smiled to himself as he asked. Hermione noticed he really had a lovely smile and personality from what she could gather, when they weren't fighting and spitting insults at each other.

"Um…well no, its just I have been getting burnt quite a bit from the sun, when usually I would tan. I thought maybe it was the strength of the rays but that never usually affected me that much," she replied, "This is worse than Spain at 45 degrees."

Draco laughed and then paused. The sun had been giving some bother as well but yet many people were walking around in strap tops and T-shirts appearing not at all concerned for the sun's heat, "Funny because I have been like that too. I can't go into the sun for long as it irritates my skin and causes it to burn and we are only talking like 2 second intervals."

Hermione looked up interested in the fact that they were having such a civilised conversation. No arguments, No fighting, No fists, No wands-Nothing negative. She relaxed a bit more, growing increasingly comfortable with his company. His voice was soothing and the type you could listen to for hours. Hermione remembered about his hair and how it changed in the sun as well.

"My eyes change colour and so does your hair-I think that's a lot stranger," she commented as she glanced at his now platinum blonde hair, " It seems to go from a pale colour to a more redder colour in the sun's rays." Draco looked at her, she seemed genuinely interested in talking to him, whereas less than a hour ago she nearly beat the life out of him.

"Yeh it is a bit weird…right pet store, here we are," he opened and held open the door to allow her to pass. She didn't need to say thank you it was all in the short and polite smile she gave to him as she quickly walked in.

He watched her as she decided to have a look around the shop. He waved to Albert and let him know that he was going to pick up some supplies for his pet. Albert nodded briefly before returning to the costumer at his counter. "Where to start?" he thought to himself, the store was pretty big after all. He spotted Granger peering into the cage with the Mooniff pups. They were wake now and were trying their luck at tipping the cage over.

Draco walked over and held the cage steady as it nearly made its journey to the floor below.

"Crafty little devils aren't they?" commented Draco. Hermione looked up, surprised at first and then gave a slight smirk in return.

"Fourth time today Malfoy, people will be suspicious," she said jokingly as she stroked the puppies and began to walk off in search of supplies. Draco smiled to himself, he liked this, he the new Hermione; the one that acted strong and devious but he knew she couldn't resist him. He could see his charms working on her and yet her charms were effecting him quite a bit as well. He followed her checking her out as he did, the way her body swayed elegantly as she walked, everything teased him.

She stopped at the collar isle, were there was many in every possible material, colour and size. "What a range!" thought Hermione. She scanned the rows of items. Bows, Ribbons, Bells, Spikes, Leather, Glitter and Metal caught her eye but something stuck out against them all. It was a simple, silver locket, with a pale blue moon engraved on it. She reached up for it but found she was about a fingers width away.

"Um…Malfoy do you think you could reach that locket for me?" she asked awkwardly. She felt so embarrassed to ask Draco Malfoy to actually help her. He smirked and walked over carrying a few items in one hand and so reached up with his free hand.

"Sure shorty, no problem," he remarked. Hermione stood on his foot, annoyed. He flinched and handed her the locket, which she inspected up close. It was truly beautiful and reminded her of a locket that her mum gave her when she was only a little girl. Hermione checked its price. It was a bit pricey but she had a feeling that should get it anyway.

"Oh My God my foots fucking killing me," mumbled Draco to himself as he limped up to the counter. He paid for his items and Albert then went to collect both pups. He waited there at the counter, staring around him and looking at all the unusual products behind the shop counter, such as: Merean Powder, which apparently gave the animal an urge to mate. He rolled his eyes-the things people buy these days. He turned to lean his back against the counter and glanced to his side. Hermione was walking up staring at each item she was going to buy. She accidentally dropped one which she leant over to pick it up.

Draco stared at her. When she leant over her hair hugged her face, shaping it perfectly. Her legs seemed long and remarkably straight, showing that she was quite flexible, especially with her new and admired, athletic psychic. She stood up and caught him looking at her. She gave an expression, which Draco was unfamiliar with when it came to girls. An expression saying: "What are you staring at wise guy?" He shrugged in return and moved as side as she lay the items on the counter.

It was going to be a long time before they could truly be civil with each other…a very long time.
