Author's Note: This is it! The last chapter! Oh my gosh, I am so nervous. I hope you guys like the ending... Fingers crossed! PLease review and tell me what you think:)

Oh, and a shoutout with a huge thankyouu to all my reviewers: luv-my-pug-roni2010, xXMyChemicalRomancePrincessxX, angelica8051, HanableKing28, Fruitloops25, and a guest reviewer (I couldn't reply, obviously, but thanks for reviewing anyway!).

"I just kept thinking to myself – and to Blaise – that you could do so much better."

"What... What are you saying, Malfoy?"

"I'm saying, I am better."

This shocked Hermione into silence.

"Look, I'm not saying I'm in love with you, Granger! All I'm saying is, there is... something between us. 'Passion'. You're maddening, infuriating, and Merlin knows, I think about Avada-ing you a lot, but that's the problem! I'm always thinking about you! And I don't know why I'm saying this; maybe I'm a masochist deep down inside, but I would like to give 'us' a shot. We might fight every second of every day; we might end up killing each other, but who knows? We just might end up working."

With that, he came around to the other side of her desk, bent down, and kissed her fiercely, pouring all of his hope, frustration, and anxiousness into the kiss. She responded instantly, losing herself in the passion. There it was again, that word... Passion.

"Wow," Drac – Malfoy – Well, he had just kissed her. She may as well call him Draco. "Wow," he said. "I wasn't expecting that."

Hermione just stared at him.

"Hermione? Granger. Cat got your tongue?"

This shook her out of shock. "Oh stuff it, Malfoy!"

He chuckled. "So then, that's a yes?"

She shook her head slowly, hardly believing the next words to come out of her mouth. "Well, I don't know why I'm saying this, but... yes."

Three months later:

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy: Together for real this time?

Three months ago, Parvati Patil of the Prophet published an article about the Golden Girl's budding romance with the Bad Boy Bachelor. However, the next day, the two denied it, insisting on a retraction.

One week ago, the two were spotted dining at 'Le Petit Maison', and one source reported they were 'getting very friendly under the table'. The two have since been seen in various public places; often getting very personal with each other.

It is hard to believe that the pair; who have always been seen arguing, could truly be involved, but according to Blaise Zabini (a close friend of Mr. Malfoy), the arguing is simply a by-product of 'passion'.
