CHAPTER 5
The next morning Hermione woke up and got dressed and went to her common room.
She was a bit disappointed to see that Draco had already made his way down to the Great Hall.
She went downstairs to find Ron and Harry sitting apart from each other both looking sullen.
She went and sat between them and realized that Ron must have found out about Harry and Ginny. That would explain the cuts and bruises that each of them had.
In spite of the somber mood Hermione couldn't help smiling.
Last night had been magical. She was in love with … with Draco Malfoy.
She didn't know how she went from loathing him to falling in love.
She looked up at the Slytherin table and found Draco staring at her. Hermione blushed.
She turned her attention to her eggs and the Daily Prophet that an owl had dropped near her but she couldn't get the image of a smirking Slytherin boy out of her head.

Draco looked at her from his table and his heart skipped a beat.
He looked at the Staff table and found Snape glaring at him.
He knew that his actions could have dire consequences. But he couldn't help himself, he was feeling elated and happy ( something he hadn't felt in a long time ).
He was going through an extremely confusing phase in his life.
He hoped that he wasn't jeopardizing their lives though he couldn't shake this troubling feeling in the pit of his stomach.
He looked once again at the Gryffindor table, saw her and smiled.

That night while patrolling Hermione and Draco acted like the love struck teenagers that they were.
" Does this mean that we're … you know … together?" asked Hermione.
" Thank you for stating the obvious. You know you really are the brightest witch of your age," said Draco cheekily.
" Ah! You're the perfect boyfriend. Sarcastic to the core," sighed Hermione mocking him.
" Well that's me. You know we Malfoys come in just one mode… perfect," said Draco smirking.
" I can't believe you," said Hermione though she couldn't help smiling.
Hermione and Draco were deep in conversation and didn't notice the figure heading their way. Draco bumped straight into the figure.
" Professor Snape!" exclaimed Draco.
" Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger. Shouldn't the two of you have finished patrolling by now or have the two of you been preoccupied," said Snape seething.
" Yes Professor but," started Hermione but was cut off by Snape.
" Speak when you're spoken to. I thought you would have learnt that by now."
Draco could feel the anger growing in him but Snape continued ignoring him.
" Ms. Granger you will have to continue on alone. I have to speak to Mr. Malfoy here."
Hermione looked at Draco, shrugged and started off again.

Snape led Draco to a nearby classroom.
" Draco it seems that you're infatuated with Ms. Granger. Do you realize what you have done? What about the task ahead? The Master has spies all over this school," said Snape angrily.
" Are we done?" asked Draco bored.
" You do not understand, do you? You're endangering her life as well," continued Snape.
" I think we've finished," said Draco backing out of the room.
" Draco," called out Snape but he had already left.

" As much I don't want to listen to that guy he's right. Stupid bloody Snape," said Draco as he hurried to the common room.
Draco walked into the common room to find Hermione sitting there waiting for him.
" What's wrong?" asked Hermione seeing the look on his face.
" Well nothing's wrong," said Draco coolly.
" Are you sure?" asked Hermione.
" Everything's fine Granger. The two of us could be dead if Voldemort ever found out about us which I'm sure he will. Apart from that life's great," said Draco his voice rising.
Hermione didn't say anything. There were so many thoughts going through her head.
" I didn't mean that. I'm … I'm sorry. There's so much that's been happening. I … I'm sorry," said Draco apologetically.
" I'm … I'm not afraid Draco," said Hermione looking him in the eye.
" I know," said Draco before kissing her.
Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck.
" I love you," said Draco before kissing her neck.
" I love you too," said Hermione smiling.
" You know I'm a pro at well … facing Vol …," stammered Hermione. " Voldemort. Thanks to Harry," said Hermione jovially.
Draco laughed.

At breakfast the next day Hermione sat between Ron and Harry. The two of them hadn't spoken since Ron had found out about Harry and Ginny.
" Will the two of you quit this?" said Hermione angrily.
" Quit what. He's the one who cheated on my sister," retorted Ron.
" I know I messed up big time and believe I'm paying for it without you rubbing it in," said Harry.
" Come on guys. I'm fed up of this. I miss the times when the three of us hung out," said Hermione.
" Well I do too. I guess we could put the past behind us, can't we?" Harry asked Ron.
" I did miss being with you guys. I guess we could," said Ron.
Hermione had a look of triumph on her face.
The Golden Trio were back again.

Hermione was in the Gryffindor common room with Harry and Ron. The two of them were talking about Quidditch.
Hermione didn't even bother listening to them. She knew she wouldn't register anything they were saying anyway.
She knew she would have to tell them about Draco sooner or later.
She had a feeling they were not going to take well.
The recent spat between Harry and Ron had been extremely uncomfortable.
Hermione wondered if her relationship with Draco was more important than her friendship and her two best friends.
