"What are you doing?" Malfoy asked
"Shh," she said, "You'll see."
"This better be good," he muttered
"Trust me, it will," she said as she reached up and pushed something aside and light came rushing into the tunnel.
They started to climb up the later which wasn't an easy task with the invisibility cloak on, and finally they were in Honeydukes cellar.
"Where are we?" asked Malfoy
"Be quiet or we will be found," she muttered
They stood up and walked up the stairs and out into the shop.
"Wow, cool," said Malfoy
"Okay nobody's in here, take the cloak of quickly," muttered Hermione
They threw the cloak off of themselves and then started to look around Honeydukes.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Hermione
"Well first off, I would like to know how you figured that out, oh wait never mind, I already know, it was Potter wasn't it?"
"Have a problem with that?" asked Hermione
"Well…"
"Well do you?" she said rather loudly
"No," he said quietly
"Good then, so where do you want to go?"
"How about the Three Broomsticks?"
"Fine by me," she said, and she turned and walked out the door in a huff
'What have I done?' he thought to himself, 'She's already mad at me and we've been together for 10 minutes.'
They walked down the street and into the Three Broomsticks. Hermione sat down at a table at the very back of the pub. Malfoy sat down beside her and looked out the window. Outside it was starting to snow.
"A bit early for it to be snowing isn't it?" he asked
"Sure," she mutter
"Look, Hermione I'm sorry," he said
Hermione didn't say anything, she just turned and looked out the window.
"Hermione," he pleaded, "I'm sorry, it's just that we've been enemies since first year and it's sorta hard to change that in a few months."
Hermione still didn't say anything.
"I'm going to go get a butterbeer, want one?" he asked
Hermione nodded, and Malfoy stood up and walked across the pub to get the drinks.
'Hm, maybe he hasn't changed at all. I thought he had, but I guess I was wrong. Why am I still sitting here? I guess deep down I want to forgive him. No that can't be. Yes it is. Look at me, I'm arguing with myself,' she thought
She sat quietly until Malfoy came back with the drinks and handed one to her, "Thanks Malfoy," she mutter
"Oh, so we're back to last names now are we," he cried
"Shut up," she cried and she stood up and walked across the pub and out the door. The few people that were in the pub watch her the whole time.
She walked through the streets and found herself sitting on a bench overlooking the Shrieking Shack. She didn't know how long she sat there for, but she knew she must have been there for awhile because she was covered in snow. She also realized she had been crying, 'Why am I crying? Because you like him. No I don't. Yes you do or you wouldn't be crying. I've never felt like this before, I never felt like this when I was with Ron, I feel like my insides have been ripped out, why didn't I feel like that when I broke up with Ron? Well because you broke up with him, and he was just a crush. Boy for being the smartest witch of your age your pretty stupid. I'm doing it again, I'm arguing with myself,' She groaned and then spun around when she heard someone behind her in the woods. "Who's there?" she called
Malfoy stepped out of the trees and walked over to her and sat down beside her.
Hermione whipped her eyes with her hand and stared straight ahead. She didn't look at him
"Hermione please, I'm so, so sorry. Please forgive me," he pleaded
"Why should I, you just went and insulted my friends who have been there for me forever and what have you done, insulted me, hurt me, hexed me. Why should I forgive you when you think you can barge into my life and start insulting my friends, when what have you done. Who do you think I'm going to side with. You the jerk who has tormented me since first year or my friends who have stood beside me whenever I needed them. Give me some reasons why I should forgive you?" she said
"Because I love you Hermione," he said quietly
"What?" she said
"I love you," he said again though a bit louder this time, "Please forgive me. I'm sorry about all that, and I wish I could change what I did, but I can't, it's the past. Please forgive me. It hurts me to see you hurt. Please stop crying Hermione. Please forgive me."
Hermione stared out at the Shrieking Shack thinking about how the Marauders spend every full moon out there, and remember what happened during 3rd year, but thinking about what happened that night in the Shrieking Shack brought back memories of when they walked down to be with Hagrid and how she punched Malfoy in the face. Oh how her hand throbbed after that, but she would never admit it to anybody, she couldn't. Remember that night made her stop crying and start laughing. It started as a giggle then turned to plain laughter and then she was in hysterics.
"What's so funny?" he asked her
"Nothing," she giggled
Finally she calmed down and turned to Malfoy and said, "So why should I forgive you again?"
"Because I love you," he said again
She leaned over and wrapped her arms around his neck and started to play with his hair and then she leaned over and kissed him. They kissed and then Malfoy's tongue ran across her lips asking for entry and she granted it. She opened her mouth and his tongue started to explore her mouth. He had his arms wrapped around her waist and he slowly leaned her back until she was laying on the bench. He laid down on top of her and they continued kissing. Eventually Hermione pulled away and said, "Draco," he just kept kissing her so she said a bit louder, "Draco," he stopped kissing her and looked at her.
"What?" he said
"Let's go back to the Tower, I can't feel my back and my fingers are frozen. I don't have any gloves," she said
Malfoy stood up and helped her up and they walked back to Honeydukes. Outside the store they threw on the cloak and walked into the store. They walked back to Hogwarts and to their private tower. They walked into the Common Room. Malfoy had his arm around Hermione's waist and she was giggling, but she stopped suddenly when she saw three people sitting on the couch.

a/n Well hope you liked it. I enjoyed writing it. I could have gone on awhile more but this seemed like the perfect spot to cut it off. I might even continue writing the next chapter right now. Yes I think I will. So if I get lots of reviews and I should it's Sunday so no school then I'll post possibly tonight, if not I'll wait until tomorrow or even the next day.
Does anybody have any ideas for the war in the sister of the boy who lived. I know a lot of you that are reading this story are reading tSotBWL and I need some ideas for pranks. I have absolutely no idea what to write so prank ideas and story ideas are greatly appreciated. I will probably be ending the story within a few chapters if I don't get any ideas so please, please send in some ideas. Thank you
So do I have to say it again. Please review. Thanks Ski000Girl
