Hermione…

I burst out laughing. "Phaa! Never in my entire life did I ever think that Draco Malfoy would fall in love with a girl who belongs to a status that he's been insulting since day one! Wow, I need to meet this girl!" I exclaimed, grinning.

"Nice to see you enjoying this, Granger." He commented dryly.

"Why, thank you, Malfoy."

"It's Draco; and you're welcome… Hermione."

I froze and stared at him, confusion clearly written across my face. "Malfoy, why are we on first name terms now?"

Suddenly, the dying embers of the fire in front of us became very interesting to him and he muttered, "I thought that there's no point in using our last names now that we are working together now."

I scoffed; the answer was plausible but obvious that it wasn't Draco's real answer. Wait, did I just call him Draco? What is wrong with me? Oh well, I suppose it's not that bad, I mean, I'm thinking it, so he can't hear me. "The real reason, Draco." Dammit!

"I swear, you know me better than Blaise." He told me, a smile on the edge of his lips.

I pushed back the foreign effect his slight smile had on me and replied, "Is that a good thing? I mean, we have been enemies for Merlin knows how long."

"Just over twelve years." He informed me solemnly.

Wow. We've been fighting for twelve years. That is hard to believe, considering how close we had been talking for that past ten minutes. I sighed and stood. "Well; this has been fun and all but I'd better get going. Got a long journey ahead of me. See you." I half-heartedly waved and headed for the door.

I heard him stand up as well before he grasped my wrist. "Wait, Hermione. You can use the Floo. I mean its cold outside."

I spun around and nodded. "Thanks, Draco." Dammit, I said it again!

I was standing in the fireplace when Draco leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. "See you tomorrow, Hermione." He whispered in my ear whilst I was in shock.

I heard myself utter my address and vaguely remembered walking into my living room to find Ron sitting there with Astoria Greengrass, poring themselves over some Auror work.

I blinked when I heard some laughing and focused my eyes on Ron, forcing myself to forget the burning sensation on my cheek.

I walked up to Ron and Astoria and kissed Ron on the cheek lightly, after whispering a greeting to him. I smiled at Astoria and went into the kitchen, my mind heavy with questions.

Why in the entire world did he do that? What is going to happen tomorrow? Why did I like it?

Suddenly I heard more laughing from the living room and I bit my lip. Astoria had been staying over a lot later recently and Ron didn't seem to mind whatsoever. They were always working and I found it hard to spend time with Ron sometimes. A logical part of my mind would tell me to be suspicious but I know in my heart of hearts that Ron would never do that to me. Would he?

I sighed exhaustedly and popped my head out of the kitchen door. "Would you guys like anything to eat?" I asked politely, watching as neither one of their heads rose.

"No thanks, Herms!" Ron exclaimed.

I hated that name: Herms. I used to tell Ron continuously not to call me that but I gave up when we had another huge fight over it. It wasn't the first and it hasn't been the last. Whenever we had an argument, I had gotten used to the sound of Ron slamming the door shut and the coo of Hedwig as she tapped on my kitchen window, handing me another letter from Harry, blaming me for the entire fiasco. When I'd disagree, Harry would shake his head and convince Ron to take me back. Yes, I said convince; Ron would run away at the first signs of commitment.

I grabbed a packet of instant popcorn and headed to bed; the two of them would be up for a while and I wanted to get a few chapters of reading done. I made my way up to my room and got ready for bed. I settled into the right side of the bed, the packet of popcorn forgotten on the bedside table and I hugged my pillow, closing my eyes and hearing Astoria's whimsical laugh before I shut my eyes, eager to escape into my dream world.

That's chapter two done! I'm sorry that these chapters are short but I think I should warn you that the chapters are not going to be that long! They are going to be longer that this but not that long…

Review please and thank you so much for reading!

Hope to update soon!
