I am so sorry for the long delay for the next chapter, but it's really long because I'm using a different method for writing it. So far I have 11,159 words, which is a lot more than usual. Till the full chapter is out, I'll give you a sneak peek of it. :)

I stepped out into the moonlight. A slight breeze ruffled my nightgown. The grass was sprinkled with dew and it felt wonderful on my bare feet. I ran through it, down in the direction of the lake. I saw Draco standing there, staring out into the water.

His pale, bare back was white against the moonlight and dark water. I stepped up next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

We didn't speak for a few seconds, just admired the moon on the water. "I'm glad you came down. For a minute I thought I'd have to stand out here alone," he commented softly. I closed my eyes, enjoying the breeze on my cheek. I felt Draco's arm wrap around my waist, and he kissed my head.

The whole thing was really romantic. "Would you like to dance?" He suggested. I said yes, of course. We danced around the area to a melody only we could hear. When he spun me, my hair flew out slightly behind me, casting a long shadow on the ground. He pulled me in, and dipped me.

He pulled me back up, real close, and we kissed.

I haven't taken the time to say what a good kisser he is, have I? I don't believe I have! Well, now I have.

The kiss went a little like this: He pulled me in, my hand slipped down from his shoulder to the small of his back, and his stayed just above my waistline on my back. He closed his eyes and kissed me. I closed mine, savoring the moment.

Did I mention he smells like vanilla? I sucked in a slow breath, enjoying the air playing with the smell. So sweet, right?

For the next hour, we sat side by side, holding hands, facing the water. We talked silently of everything and nothing. When it was time to head back to the castle, I stood on my tip-toes and kissed his nose. We laughed and headed up together, hand-in-hand.

Please remembe to R/R Review, Favorite, Subscribe, all that fluffy stuff. I do not own Hermione or Draco. :)

oh and there's a picture for this. I drew it last night when I should've been writing, or worse, sleeping. Just check out my DeviantART account, 3hellokittylitterE and click on the latest picture. :)
