Word Count: 400

Ship: Draco Malfoy – Hermione Granger

"You like me. You swoon over me. And don't you dare deny that." Draco said after he had finally cornered Ms. Granger after days of watching her eyes track his every movement. Then avoiding him whenever he came near her, she was so annoying ever since he had figured out that she liked him.

"You are so vain Malfoy. What makes you think that I am looking at you? Arent I little miss study partner. Correct me if I am wrong but I am tutoring you in transfiguration." Hermione said with a smirk. She had actually gotten to know Draco over the school year. However, she had to pretend she didn't like him to keep Harry and Ron oblivious.

Hermione just couldn't take it any longer. "Meet me in the room of requirement tonight at 8 and then we can talk." She said softly careful not to let anyone else hear. It wouldn't sound good for the head girl to be sneaking around at night with the schools bad boy.

"Glad to see you're changing your mind Granger." Draco taunted. Nevertheless, he would be there to night to talk to her. Draco had started to slowly fall for the Gryffindor. Of course, his father had no idea of the development.

-8 'o clock-

Draco had arrived in the room of requirement approximately 5 minutes earlier. Where is she? She said to be here at 8. Maybe she means 8 am not pm. Draco silently thought in his mind but he stopped abruptly as she stepped into the room pulling the door shut she obviously didn't expect him to here yet.

"I can't believe that I am actually going to tell him…" Hermione trailed off. She was so nervous what if he laughed at her. Of course he would laugh at her. Nevertheless she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Tell him what?" Draco mused aloud. He grinned when he watched her jump.
Hermione whipped around. She got caught in his eyes those amazingly grayish blue eyes. "That I love him." She took a deep breath and continued, "That I do like him, and swoon over him." She said as she took a step closer to him. She smiled softly at Draco.

Draco awestruck at first returned the smiled then leaned down to kiss her. They shared their first kiss. Then Draco asked, "Hermione would you go out with me?"
