A/N Sorry about the long wait, I went on holiday but I'm back now so I'll update a bit more. Anyway to re-cap Hermione has found the letters what will she do?

Chapter 11

As soon as Hermione walked through her bedroom door all thoughts of the letters flew from her mind. Lying on her bed arms behind his head was a topless Draco Malfoy. He smirked

"Like what you see Granger" he said getting off the bed. Hermione put the books down onto the table beside her never once taking her eyes off the man that stood in front of her. Because that's what he as now, a man. His physique of a toned abdomen and broad shoulders coupled with his height, hair, deep voice and personality showed his change from being the small first year that Hermione had first met. She smiled at him.

"Possibly" she said teasing him. He came right up to her, towering over her at 6"4 while she was only 5"7. He put his arms around her waist and drew her close to him her head resting on his chest.

"Well I like what I see" he said and Hermione lifted her face to meet his eyes. He cupped her face in both hands and kissed her lovingly.

"I love you" he said

"I love you too" she said and she shrieked as Draco lifted her off the floor bridal style and put her down on the bed silencing her with a kiss more passionate than the last.

Hermione awoke the next day to find Draco getting dressed. She propped herself up onto one elbow as he turned round and saw that she was awake.

"I'm going to go have breakfast with Blaise ok?" he said once again taking her face in his hands and kissing her forehead. "I'll be back later" he said and Hermione nodded watching him leave the room. As she did so her eyes fell on the books that were staked on the table opposite and she remembered the letters.

Getting out of bed she went over to the pile and pulled out the book that she had stowed the letters in last night. Taking it over to her bed she took out the bundle of letters that were tied in green ribbon. Slowly she undid the ribbon picked up the top letter and read its contents:

My Dearest Draco,

How I long to be alone with you again. It has only been a few hours and already I am missing you terribly. I miss feeling your touch and you kiss and hearing your voice. Seeing you in the company of that mudblood is torture and I know you hate it too. Please let us meet again,

All my love

Pansy

Hermione felt anger, confusion and hatred all at once. Was it true? Did Draco really love Pansy and not her? Was he just using her? All these questions swam in her mind. She picked up the next letter and read that, it was much the same. As were all the others when she had read them all. Hermione took some deep breaths, she had to be rational. Draco hated Pansy he couldn't possibly be seeing her. She was probably writing those letters to him to try and persuade him otherwise. But that didn't answer the question as to why he still had all the letters if he didn't like her. Maybe he just kept them to have laughs with Blaise.

Hermione stowed the letters away in her desk drawer and got dressed in jeans and a thick jumper so she wouldn't get cold and, seeing that Ginny had already gone down to the Great Hall, she climbed through the portrait hole in search of breakfast.

She sat down cheerfully in between Harry and Ron and helped herself to bacon and scrambled eggs. "So how's life with Draco?" Ron asked.

"It's fine thank you" Hermione said smiling at the thought of last night. The letters had been pushed from her mind. Dean, Seamus and Neville who were listening close by felt a rush of disappointment. But they had to give her time. Hermione spent the rest of the day with Draco, Ginny and Blaise playing in the snow and then retiring to the common room for some hot chocolate and snogging.

Two weeks later and it appeared to Dean, Harry, Ron, Seamus and Neville that they were two options. Either Hermione had found the letters and she decided that they were nothing coming from Pansy or she hadn't found them at all. They decided that the first option was more probable and so decided to release Draco's replies. The next day after dinner as soon as Hermione got up and left the Great Hall Dean nodded at Pansy who did the same. Harry who was under the invisibility cloak lifted his wand and thought "Diffindo" suddenly Pansy's bag split in two right in front of Hermione so that books and quills spilled out by her feet. Out of instinct she picked them up and as she did so she saw a pile of letters tied with green ribbon. On them she could see Draco's handwriting. Her heart stopped for a moment. No she thought it can't be. Hastily picking them up along with some quills she stuffed the letters down her robes and handed the rest of the books back to Pansy who nodded curtly.

"Thank you Granger" she said and walked towards the dungeons.

Hermione raced up to the Head's common room and into her room magically locking the door behind her and sat down on the bed. With her heart beating rapidly she undid the ribbon and pulled out the first letter.

My Darling Pansy

How I miss you. I wish too that I could be with you every minute of every day and hold you and kiss you. But to keep my Head boy badge and Dumbledore's approval I must be seen in the company of that mudblood. How I hate her. You are ten times prettier than she is. She is dirt compared to you. As soon as this is over we can be together again. My heart is always yours.

Love

Draco

Hermione stopped reading and tore the others open. They were the same. Silent tears poured down her cheeks like the rain she could hear hammering on the window. She fell back on her pillows sobbing her heart out.
