A/N Thanks for the reviews.

ctc: I put Draco in a T-shirt because I'm trying to make him seem as though he wants to get away from the "pureblood" ideology that he has been brought up with.

Isadora120: Is this fast enough for you? Here is the next chapter for you to enjoy!

Chapter 6

Soon after their kiss Hermione and Draco walked back to their common room. Draco had his arm around her and he didn't let go of her until they reached Hermione's bedroom door.

"I had a really good time tonight thank you" Hermione said smiling. Draco took both her hands in his.

"Me too. Thank you" He said and he drew her to him and kissed her again. Hermione who's butterflies had never left her stomach since that first kiss went into overdrive again. When they broke apart she bade him goodnight, went into her room closed the door and leant against the back of it. She grinned to herself and closed her eyes to re-live the moment where he had first kissed her. She couldn't stop smiling while she removed her make-up and took off her dress and finally went to sleep.

Draco was exactly the same. He couldn't stop smiling. She was so beautiful and he had kissed her. He thought that he just had a crush on her but now he had kissed her maybe it was something more? He went to sleep that night thinking how right it felt to be kissing her.

Hermione awoke the next morning, showered tied her hair up in a messy bun, put on some jeans and a jumper and came down the stairs to the smell of pancakes. She walked towards the kitchen to find Draco dressed in jeans and a shirt and dishing out pancakes on to two plates. When he saw Hermione he gave her a kiss on the cheek and said "I thought you might like breakfast" and placed a plate of pancakes, whipped cream and strawberries in front her.

"Wow this looks amazing Draco. Where'd you learn to cook?" She asked digging in.

"My mother taught me. My father didn't want me to know anything about it but she thought it was important." He said sitting down opposite her at the counter and eating his own plate of pancakes. Hermione didn't know what to say it was the first time he'd talked about his home life. She felt sorry for him. Her thoughts were interrupted by Draco asking if she liked the pancakes to which she said she loved them. They were very good.

"So do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?" He asked.

"Well I'd love to go with you but I don't know what Harry and Ron would say about it. Ron was pretty angry last night" Hermione said sighing.

"Then don't tell them you're going. We'll keep a low profile about our relationship for a while to give them a chance to get used to it. Don't worry they'll come round." Draco said clearing away the plates. Hermione however wasn't so sure.

Hermione was curled up on the couch chatting to Ginny, her hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream. It was Friday night and the girls were discussing the upcoming Hogsmeade visit. Ginny hadn't told Ron about Blaise. She didn't think he could handle her and Hermione both going out with Slytherins.

"He'd probably die from the shock" She sighed and Hermione giggled. Lying to Harry and Ron proved to be quite easy. She told them she had promised to have a girly weekend with Ginny and that included the Hogsmeade visit. Ron had asked her whether she was going out with Draco but she denied it.

"So where are you going with Draco tomorrow?" Ginny asked sipping her hot chocolate.

"I'm not sure. We'll probably walk around for a bit. Go to the Three Broomsticks. Then come back." Hermione said.

"You do realise that Harry and Ron will see you if you go to the Three Broomsticks?" Ginny said.

"I know but it's only been a week and I'm sick of lying. I really like Draco and I don't want to have to hide it. Harry and Ron will have to grow up someday." Hermione said.

Hermione and Draco set off for Hogsmeade wrapped in coats and scarves early the next morning. Draco was asking all these questions about what it was like to grow up in a muggle environment, fascinated by it all.

"And they have these things called movies which are like lots of wizard pictures stuck together so they make a story that you sit down and watch. The characters talk and everything." Hermione said and she was aware that while she was talking Draco had slipped his fingers through hers. They had now reached Hogsmeade and Draco momentarily stopped his stream of questions and asked

"Where do you want to go first?" Hermione looked around and then suddenly remembered how she had missed Honeyduke's chocolate.

"Honeyduke's" She said immediately. Draco smiled and they walked hand in hand towards Honeyduke's.

It was packed with Hogwarts students and Hermione and Draco spent a good hour looking at all the sweets. Hermione then bought a couple of big bars of their chocolate, some Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans and some cockroach clusters. Draco bought some Fizzing Whizzbees, some Droobles Best Blowing Gum and Toothflossing Stringmints. Their money pouches considerably lighter Draco asked if she wanted to go and get a drink at the Three Broomsticks to which she readily agreed.

The Three Broomsticks was packed but she and Draco managed to find a table and while Draco went off to get drinks Hermione saw Harry, Ron Dean and Seamus at another table and waved to them. They waved back until they saw Draco return with their drinks when their smiles turned to frowns.

"She's seeing him isn't she?" Ron said

"Looks like it" Dean said.

"She's going to get hurt. We need to split them up before he hurts her." Ron said and they all nodded in agreement. They were all silent until Harry said.

"But how shall we do this?"

"I have an idea" Dean said and he beckoned for them all to lean closer.
