Chapter two.

A week had passed since Draco and Hermione kissed in the room of requirement and Draco could stop thinking about her. He wasn't sure what to do. She's a Gryffindor he's a Slytherin, She's a muggleborn he's a pureblood and he's meant to hate her mindless however dating her will get her in trouble maybe even killed. Draco was torn on what to do; he had a mission which he and his family would be killed if he didn't complete it. He didn't want to be a part of it but the Dark Lord made him agree. He couldn't let Hermione get involved in that.

For the first time in years Draco found himself longing for the care and comfort of his mother, as childish as it sounds she had always been there to protect him against the smallest problems and now she was missing when he needed her most. Years he had found himself pushing her away, calling her embarrassing, telling her that he was grown up now and didn't need her anymore. He had never felt so much of a small scared child in his life. Draco needed her advice and comfort, he needed to know she was beside him and would encourage his choices. The problem was getting contact of her he could tell her though a letter or floopowder but that could be overheard. He needed to meet her to tell her in person but who could he arrange to meet her without it being seen as suspicious. He decided to write her a letter hoping she would understand the message.

Dear mother.

School is terrible. Thanks for the pumpkin pasties they are much better than the ones I have in the Three Broomsticks when I go there on Saturdays, I try to get there before lunch around 11:30am when they aren't too busy. How are you?

See you soon

Draco Malfoy

Hermione sat doing her homework in the Gryffindor common-room; she could barely contain her happiness especially as thoughts of Draco slipped into her mind. Ginny had been questioning her since she got back from the room of requirement that day last week, Hermione had nearly told her the truth but enjoyed knowing something that Ginny didn't, and anyway Draco and her weren't officially dating... yet, she thought.

"Alright what's up? I know you like writing essays but you never usually smile that much."

Hermione jumped up and saw Harry puzzled face staring down at her; she blushed not noticing that he had been watching her. Ginny laughed "have you only just noticed." Harry stare at her blankly "she has been like that for about a week... you know." Harry obviously didn't know because Ginny had to explain bluntly "she likes a boy."

Ron's ears perked up and he stopped kissing Lavender to peer at Harry "Who does Hermione like?"

Hermione blushed even more "none of your business".

"Obviously not you Ron" Ginny's snapped. Ron looked a bit put out; ignoring Lavender she grabbed his sleeve which he pulled away. Ignoring them, Harry turned to Hermione and asked her who she liked? Hermione refused to answer and made excuses to leave the room.

"she wouldn't answer to me as well" Ginny tells Harry moving up so she is sat next to him on the sofa.

Ron sat with Lavender giggling in his ear, watching Hermione leave the room. Could it be possible that she likes another guy, of course not she likes me, Ron told himself that's why she is so annoyed with Lavender, anyway she said she doesn't like McLaggen. She just doing wind him up and make him jealous. I couldn't help if Lavender likes him, It Hermione own fault she started it by kissing Krum, I bet she only did that to make me envious of what him. Ron pulled Lavender closer until she was practically sitting on him.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

Ron nodded and Lavender pulled him out the common-room giggling even more than normal. "I'll show her" Ron muttered.

Draco sat in the room of requirement waiting for Hermione to arrive, dreading her arrival. He had to tell her about his mission; she's going to hate him, Draco knew that but he hoped she would be able to offer support and understand why he had to do it. Not likely he thought she was going to hate him. I curled up in a ball in the corner of the sofa fighting back tears. The first girl he truly loved and she will leave him before they even start dating Draco was sure of that and he hated himself for it. Draco watched door anxiety waiting for Hermione's entrance knowing that she will arrive soon. The door slowly opened and Hermione pocked her head around the door relieved when she sorry Draco on the sofa. Walking up to Draco, Hermione notices something wrong.

"Draco, are you ok?" Draco detects a note of worry in her voice.

"Sit down; I need to tell you something and you're going to hate me after I say it"

"What is it? You're scaring me now"

"Right everyone, smile at the camera... Now"

The Slytherin Quidditch team groaned as the Filtch failed at using the wizard camera. Draco was getting annoyed, was it too much to have a Quidditch team photo that made him look unbelievable sexy and isn't taken by a filthy squib that still can't use the simplest muggle camera.

"Wait... I've done something wrong... bloody technology so complicated" Filtch muttered hitting the camera a couple of times grumbling about the good old days where her wouldn't have been made to use a camera and could hang all the students upside down whenever they complained or insulted him."Hurry up to dirty squib even a muggle could work them camera by now" Miles Bletchley shouts Filtch barely looks up before muttering again.

Draco badly wanted him to finish taking the picture already, Slytherin was losing valuable Quidditch practice and they needed to catch up fast to make sure they won the cup this year, not that it will be that hard with Potter and Weasley twins off the team.

"No Ginny, I'm not going to do your Arithmancy homework. It's your own fault if you leave it to the last minute, you're as bad as Ron, why can't you lot do your own homework for a change" A recognisable bossy voice woke Draco from his daydream for winning the cup for the first time in years. "Anyway Professor Vector can tell when I do your homework" Hermione reported.

Normal Draco would groan at the sight of the mudblood and Weaslette but today he couldn't take his eyes off Granger as she walked past ignoring his presence. Her chocolate hair had settled into soft curls and her lips looks delicious; he forgot his hated for her, wanting to call out to her. Instead he watched her walk past him talking, not even noticing him presents.

"Shut up you know I don't fancy Ron"

Draco stopped smiling like an idiot and stared daggers at the two Gryffindors, not that they noticed.

"I know that you do, whatever you say" the ginger answered quirkily. Draco shook off the weird feeling but couldn't stop himself from watching Hermione as she left. From that day on Draco was hooked, and hated Weasley even more.

Hermione stared at Draco shocked at what he had just told her. She could believe it, she didn't want to believe, Harry had been right all along. Draco had tried to kill Dumbledore and accidently cursed Katie Bell. Hermione was too shocked to speak; arguing with herself in her head. She felt she should run a mile away from but she couldn't move.

"You hate me I know it" Draco shouts heading for the door.

"No stop" her brain blurted out uncertainly she grabbed for his hand which he fiercely pulled away.

"I don't need you to hate me!" he spited at her, his eyes full of anger. "I already hate myself"

"No Draco! Wait..." Hermione cried as the door shuts behind him "I could never hate you."

It was too late; he had already gone determining to forget the Gryffindor princess he had lost his heart too.

Please review and tell me what you think. I don't mind criticism. Not sure when the next chapter will be hopefully soon.
