Hermione has been trying to avoid Ron and Harry, doing a lot of crazy things but so far, she had just no luck. Harry kept glaring at her; well not really glaring but he was giving her a very hard time. The only thing that kept her going was the fact that he sounded jealous. As she walked in the classroom, she noticed that Draco was looking at her intently as though trying to read her mind. She looked away quickly trying to understand why she was so nervous while being around him. Maybe, it was the way he looked at her with a warm and tender smile or just that she fancied him. Hermione was shocked by her own thoughts and shook her head as if getting rid of some infectious germ.
Eating chocolate always made her feel a lot better so as she talked with Parvati, she ate one of those special muggle caramel filled chocolate that her mother had given her for Christmas. She was like in a dream and forgot all her worries for a moment. It was melting in her mouth and there was crunchy biscuit inside it too and she closed her eyes to savour the moment. Even Snape wouldn't be able to deny that it was an incredible muggle thing. As she opened her eyes slowly, she saw Draco staring pleasantly at her. She smiled dreamily for a second and then regaining her spirits, she said, uh... what do you want? Draco shifted uncomfortably and said " we have to go to the house unity class together remember?"
" of course I remembered, I have been passing hours on my bed, trying to figure out what miss bones will make us do now" I thought miserably.
Welcome, welcome my dear children. Today we will be enhancing a new step to trusting each other which is very important and today's lesson will be about... Dancing! She said with a tired but bright smile. Almost all the students gave out squeals of laughter and I cracked at the thought of having to dance with Draco. I blushed so hard when he put his hands around my waist as I felt a pinch of something strangely warm and exciting go through my body. I had taken a lot of ballet classes so it wasn't hard for me get dance properly but I found Draco was real pro. His eyes looked as charming as ever and he looked so incredibly dashing as he swerved me like nobody had ever done, not even Harry in our sixth year when we had that little dance party at the Burrow. I felt like flying and when the song ended, I saw everyone looking at us surprisingly. Harry looked so furious that he almost screamed at Dana when she asked him to dance once more.
When I entered the Great Hall the next morning, the unusual loud murmurs and chatter felt silent. I looked up to Draco and found him merely disgruntled. Dana was snarling, Ginny's face had a weird expression which Hermione figured was somewhat between rage and sadness, ron's face was stunned and Harry refused to look in my eyes. It was one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had as Lavendar told me that Harry has dumped Ginny for me and Rita Skeeter interviewing me and although I completely ignored her as she either took pictures of me or asked questions, she wrote a bunch of things that I suppose was a dramatic story about love at first sight and stuff as I took a glimpse of it.
The day went bad enough for me as my friends tried to avoid me and to refresh myself from this exhausting journey, I decided to go to the library. I was completely emerged in my book when someone touched my shoulder. I was startled and surprised to find Harry. Hey, he said. Look, I know there has been a lot going on out now but I want you to know that I love you, Draco told me about all of your fake love story and I have to admit it was pretty good and seemed so true, he said with a shaky laugh and held my hands. Do you , Hermione Granger want to go out with me?
Hermione was so stunned that she didn't know what to say, she should have cried a big yes by now but didn't. She was so confused, but that's what she had always wanted right?! She swallowed hard and said a slow yes and tried to give her best delightful smile but all her thoughts wandered to Draco and took no notice of Harry as he kissed her and started talking. Why had he told Harry, maybe he didn't love her at all, maybe the kiss they shared was just a normal fake thing for him, she thought. That's it I am with Harry now and it's all that I wanted or did I ? Hermione gave a sigh and tried to push away her thoughts and walked along with harry watching the stars in the sky. Hermione always loved how different and yet fascinating, they were. After Harry went to his dormitory, she continued to dream beyond the stars, letting the cool breeze smoothen her hair. She let her mind empty of all those confusing thoughts and resolved to stay there for some time.
But however, she saw Draco standing there, looking intently at her. She tried to avoid him but soon found that he was closer to her than he had ever been. As she looked deeply into his eyes, her heart was thumping fast as she felt his breath on her. It was almost comforting but before she had time to think, he pressed his lips gently against hers. She had never been kissed this way before, not even by harry when there was this great party at the Burrow and they had secretly shared a wonderful kiss. She kissed Draco back and startled by the sudden approach,he deepened the passionate kiss. After what seemed like a long time, Draco let her go and breathed " I'm sorry...I had to do it..." and without another word, he left.
Hermionw was so shocked that she couldn't even stammer. Taking one last look at where Draco had just been, she went slowly and silently to her dormitory and crawled under her bed sheets letting tears streaming down her face. She had never been so confused in her whole life and hoped that the coming days be worse.
