The week passed and somehow Harry was able to keep the the Draco encounter a secret from Ron and Hermione, even though he tried to tell them, he just couldn't. Of course all would be known on Saturday. As Harry joined Ron and Hermione in the que for people getting checked to go to Hogsmeade, Draco walked right up to Harry to wait in line.

"What do you want Malfoy?"Ron asked.

"What, Harry, you didn't even tell your friends?"

"Why did malfoy just call you Harry?"Ron questioned.

"Um, well...do you remember what I had told you at the end of last year?"

"Yeah..."Ron said to Harry getting a little worried.

"Well, Draco found out...and he asked me on a date." Harry finished lamely.

"And you accepted?" Hermione said, sounding a little hurt as she also knew about Ron. He wanted to tell her it was to make Ron jealous, but if he said that then he'd have to tell her it was to make her jealous too. Ron seemed to be shock.

"Come on Harry let's get going." Draco said before pulling Harry to the front of the line.

Draco took Harry all over Hogsmeade, they talked and laughed, and found out that once you really got to know someone they can be tolerable. It was around four when they walked past the sheirking shack, just to see Ron and Hermione talking, while leaning on the fence. They stopped talking as Draco pulled Harry nearer, before Harry knew what happened Draco put his arms around Harry's waist and kissed him. Harry was a little shocked, but soon melted into it, he wasn't Ron, but it was still good.

"hem-hem" Hermione did an impresion of Umbridge, that even made her shiver. Harry realized where he was and pulled away from a smirking Draco.

"What do you want Granger?"

"Well, you just kind of-"

"You just bloody kissed my best friend in front of me!" Ron yelled.

"What about it?" Draco smirked."Are you jealous Weasel."

"No!" Ron yelled back a little too quickly.

"Right...well we're going to go somewhere a bit more private." With that Draco pulled a stunned Harry away from a speechless Hermione and angry Ron.

Draco took Harry back up to the school, suprisingly nobody had noticed Harry and Draco yet. They went and sat under the pale beech tree before Draco started talking. " Well, do far the plan's working."

"You kissed me." Harry said just registering this.

"Yeah, and succeded in making the Weasel jealous, and hopefully Granger. What, you thought that just because we're doing this meant that we can't fool around."

"WHAT!?"

"Man, you've been saying that alot, well it's about time for dinner, shall we?" He said as he stood up, offering a hand to Harry, who took it and they walked up to the castle. Not many people were in the Great Hall, but there were enogh to see as Draco pecked Harry on the lips and said 'bye love'. Harry turned Weasley red, and went to sit at the far end of Gryffindor table. it wouldn't take long for this rumour to spread, but of course it wasn't really a rumour. Just then it hit Harry, that the ministry was against him, that Voldemort was back, that owl exams were coming up even, his friends weren't talking to him, and most of all he wasn't even with the right person...and he thought his life couldn't get worse.

Well, isn't that just sad, I really should be nicer...I'll give him some hope in the next chapter shall I?...Oh and REVIEW, pweez!
