"Hannah!" I heard a voice call.

*Thank goodness.*

I turned around and see Seamus from school running over to me.

"How've you been?" he asked, smiling at me.

"I'm fine. Just talking to my good buddy Draco," I said.

"I thought that you two had a falling out during the school year?" he asked.

"True friends always make it through," Draco said wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I chuckled and removed it.

"Right. . . Anyway, Hannah, I just came by to say hey," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing you this school year. Maybe we can hang out sometime."

I nodded. "Cool. I'd like that."

"Great, I'll see you," he said and then walked away.

I turned back to Draco. He was staring angrily as Seamus walked away.

"What's wrong with you? Do you dislike Gryffindor's that badly?" I asked.

"He fancies you , you know?" he asked.

"Who, Seamus? Don't be daft. If someone like Seamus liked me, I'd know," I said.

"You'd like a bloke like Seamus?" he asked.

"Sure," I said. "He's charming, and he's cute too."

Draco took my hand and pulled me into the forest away from the tents where we were alone.

"What's with your attitude? And what's with the sudden need for my attention?" I asked. He shrugged. "You do know and if we're going to be friends then you need to start telling me what your malfunction is."

"I just want a hug," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because, I just do," he said.

"No, tell me why you're so bent on a stupid hug?" I demand.

"Well. . . Maybe I fancy you," Draco suggested.

". . . What?" I asked. "You. . . Like me?"

"I said maybe," he said.

"You don't 'maybe' anything, Draco," I said. He shrugged. "Stop shrugging or I shall strike."

"You'll strike me? What are you my grandmother?" Draco laughed.

"Draco tell me how you feel," I said.

". . . Just a hug," he said. "And then I'll leave you alone. I don't think it's a large request."

Honestly, outside of the Weasley and Harry I'd never hugged a guy before. The Weasley's were like my family and Harry was my family. It was weird to touch guys I wasn't related to. Maybe I was freaking out a little bit, it was just a hug, but in my mind it was kind of a big deal.

"Are you really going to make me stand here all day?" Draco asked.

"If that's what it takes," I said.

"Oh, it'll take more than a bit of standing and boredom to get rid of me," Draco said.

For some reason, I believed him. I stood there looking around the forest turning my head as I did.

"Alright. To hell with this," he said.

I turned and looked up at him, confused by his outburst. He placed his hand on the sides of my face without warning he kissed me.

It took a moment for me to realize what was going on. I wasn't hugging him, that was certain, but I this was worse, much worse.

And despite the fact that Draco Malfoy had so greedily taken away my first kiss from me, I was actually letting him - I actually liked it.

I shoved him away as hard as I could.

"What is wrong with you!" I yelled. "What happened to a hug? That wasn't a hug."

"Well spotted," he said.

"How dare you!" I said.

"Don't be such a baby about it," Draco laughed.

"I'm leaving and don't you dare follow me!" I said. I walked back to camp in a huff.

*That pig! I can't believe he did that! He's. . . He's. . .*

I couldn't think of any word that described the way he was right now. I knew he was a pig and that was enough to put my mind at ease a little. I went into the tent and sat down in my room with Hermione and Ginny.

Hermione looked me over, a bit worried. "Hannah, you look. . ."

"Pissed," Ginny said. Hermione made a face at me.

"Why is your lip gloss smeared?" she asked. I touched my cheek and brought my hand down and see clearly that there was sticky lip gloss smeared just off my lips on my cheeks.

Ginny and Hermione exchange glances. Then Hermione gasped.

"You've been snogging someone haven't you?" Hermione said. "Oh, gosh, your first kiss, Hannah!"

"Who was it? Tell us!" Ginny said.

"Gin, lemme talk to Hermione alone for a second," I said. Ginny nodded and grudgingly leaves the room

"Now, who'd you kiss?" she asked, handing me a tissue to wipe the gloss from my face.

"I didn't kiss anyone. He kissed me," I said wiping it away.

"None the less who was it?" Hermione asked.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone. Not Harry, not Ron not anyone. You got it?" I asked. Hermione nodded. I took a deep breath. "Draco."

"Ewe," she said. "Explain. Now."

I explained the events with Draco in great detail to Hermione. Her face didn't change as I did, she just stared at me hard until I finished Then she sighed.

"You liked it didn't you?" she asked.

"No. . . I don't think so," I lied.

"Hannah, you totally did. It's written all over your face. I mean, you're turning redder than a Weasley," Hermione said.

"Okay, so I did. Big whoop. It's not gonna happen again," I said.

"Hannah, you told me he likes you and I may not be an expert but liking the way your 'friend' who fancies you kisses you puts you on a slippery slope to returning his feelings," Hermione said.

"But I can't like him. I won't like. I mean, that's absurd," I said.

"I think it's absurd for him to like you but, we also thought it was impossible for anyone of us to be friends with him and you proved that wrong as well," Hermione said.

"Well I don't like him," I said.

"I believe you," she said, even though I knew she didn't.

"Besides, Seamus is nice isn't he? Why would I waste my time on Malfoy when I've caught the eyes of a perfectly nice and handsome boy like him?" I asked.

"Go for it. I totally approve," Hermione said. "Just, keep an eye on Malfoy. You can still be friends but. . . Hope that he gets over you because I don't approve of that and. . . Harry will approve even less."

"Well it doesn't matter because it will never happen. . . I'm just offended that he totally robbed me of my first kiss like that," I said.

"Well, at least you enjoyed it," Hermione said.

I rolled my eyes.
