Disclaimer: i don't own harry potter

The next two weeks went by uneventful for Hermione so now it's valentine's day and loads of people were getting cards and chocolate. Hermione walked in to the great hall and saw Ginny and harry switching Valentine gifts as Hermione sat down and started to eat, trying to drown out the noise of the girls squeals. Half way through her meal back owl came and landed at her plate and stuck its foot out, curios Hermione untied the chocolates and card the owl left not expecting a reply, she opened the cart and it read.

Dearest Hermione my Gryffindor princess I have been thinking of you on this special day I just had to send my special lady a wish for love and laughter I have a question for that brilliant brain of yours will you be my Valentine from anonymous.

Hermione thought it was very sweet she knew it was not Ron because he doesn't have a romantic bone in his body, thinking of Ron she still hasn't come around to dumping him but her and Draco have still been seeing each other but Draco thinks she should keep him so people don't know about them it's just not safe at the moment even though Voldemort's gone, Draco is still portrayed as a blood traitor and some people in slytherin still follow the dark magic and would harm Hermione if thy got wind of them .

Draco Hermione inwardly sighed she wished she could spent this day with him but she knew she couldn't. it truth Hermione was slowly falling for the Slytherin, there had been many encounters like the room of requirement and she loved them he could do what Ron never could he was perfect, her thoughts where interrupted by lavender (A/N I know lavender died but i need her for this story)

"Who's the card from Hermione"

"What?"

"The card"

"Oh yes it's signed an anonymous, so I don't know"

"Well can I read it"

"Go on then " and she handed her the card

" it's very sweet "

I know "

I wonder who its from "

"Me to" to be honest Hermione had a guess how it was but she wasn't about to tell lavender it would be all around the school by lunch time

"Well I have to go bye lavender"

Hermione's day was filled with love and affection as many boys asked her to go out with them which she politely declined. She went to the great hall and intended to eat and get out before the owls for her came, most people today did not send owls but wanted to give it in person so she ate quickly and left

As Hermione speed walked out of the great hall she didn't notice Draco following her as she got to the Gryffindor portrait he called her out

"Hey Hermione wait"

"What" she noticed it was Draco "sorry I thought you were dean or shamus"

"Well now you can clearly see I'm not I wanted to talk to you?"

"Yes"

"So, what's the answer to my question?"

"Yes Draco I will be your Valentine"

" that all I wanted to know" and he pushed her up against he wall and kissed her with loads of passion that put all Hermione's other lovers to shame, as they broke a part Draco said

I love you"

"I love you to" and they kissed again

What they didn't see was lavender in the shadows. !

(AN: cliff hanger! know this is short but it's important I will write a short chapter next explaining whose dead and what stage there in that might make things better)
