The next afternoon Hermione got the shock of her life. Ron Weasley was at her door knocking. She thought about ignoring it but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"yes?" she asked, not opening the door all the way opened.

Ron gave her one of his warm smiles and waved at her.

Hermione was slightly flustered and cleared her throat.

"How can I help you Ronald?" Opening the door wider.

" 'Mione, I broke up with the girl I was dating!" He exclaimed happily.

"O..oh, thats nice." she said.

He looked at her with a puzzled look. "Aren't you happy, now we can be close like we used to...maybe even CLOSER."

Her heart felt like it was ripping. Ron was finally trying to get closer to her, but she doesn't have that same feeling she once hand for the ginger haired boy. Her heart belonged to a blonde boy with grey eyes.

"Ron, I'm sorry but I don't LIKE LIKE you anymore. Only as a brother or best friend." She said silently.

Then there was an eerie silence. You could literally see the tension and awkwardness floating all around the pair.

His ears turned scarlet and he shuffled his feet.

"OH UH, HOW ABOUT YOU EAT LUNCH WITH ME!" She replied quickly, trying to break the silence.

His face lightened up and he walked in her home with a grin.

Hermione closed the door and told Ron to sit at the table while she went upstairs to tidy herself up a little.

She tied her hair in a high pony tail and was washing her sweaty face when the door bell suddenly rang.

Then fear erupted in her body.

"DRACO!" She yelled, rinsing and drying her face quickly while running down the stairs.

Hermione stopped dead on the bottom step. Draco and Ron were having a glare war. Then Draco looked over at her and smiled.

"Hey 'Mione," He said sweetly.

She nodded as a greeting and stepped down to the floor looking at Ron.

" Ron please calm-"

"DOWN? CALM DOWN! HERMIONE THIS WAS THE LITTLE BRAT THAT HIT YOU! DO YOU REMEMBER!" He yelled, shaking with such fury.

Hermione cowered and let out a small cry.

" 'Mione I'm sorry.." He said, softly.

She nodded slowly and stood up straighter. Draco walked to her side and rubbed her back.

"What do you want with her?" Ron growled at him.

Draco gave him a smirk.

"Everything. Because I love her."

Hermione covered her mouth with her hand.

"What.." She thought
