Third CHapter(: Reviews please(: I don't own any characters etc, etc. enjoy(:

"Hmmm…" Hermione's nose was deep in "Hogwarts: A History" once again with her fingers running through her thick brown hair. She looked up because she had heard a few giggles coming from a corner in the library. She hated it when girls giggled like that especially in the library for it was her sanctuary in the school when she was given a hard by the other students who were mostly Slytherins. The giggles continued and she thought it was girls swooning over Blaise Zabini an attractive Slytherin. She looked up and she was wrong. The silly girls were swooning over the Draco Malfoy. Hermione rolled her eyes at the group and looked back her book. She tried to ignore the noise but she couldn't help but look behind her and scoff each time and try to give them the hint to leave or be quiet at least. She got angrier but she wasn't angry because they were making obstructions but she was jealous. "No, calm down you are not jealous. I mean last night was just weird he didn't mean anything he did I know it.."

"Excuse me but do you mind keeping it down?! Some of us actually come to the library to read and study not to snog the entire day away!"

"Now now Granger, don't get your wand in a knot. I don't see any snogging going on. Not jealous are you?" Draco Malfoy knew it was getting to Hermione and he loved seeing her get so torn up about it and her nose wrinkle.

"Jealous!? It's official you're a complete nutter! If you think I'm jealous then you must be dreaming!" She slammed her book closed with a loud thud and slid the chair violently back and stormed out of the library looking back once and mumbling things under her breath. Then Malfoy got up and lightly pushed the girls away and left the library after Hermione.

"Granger! Granger! Come on now turn around please. I just want to talk. Please." Hermione stopped didn't look back and kept walking

"And what makes you think I want to talk to you?" A smirk was growing on her face she knew Malfoy was getting upset because his breathing was getting heavier.

"Well the way you stopped and the smirk grew on your face because you know you are making me upset." He was right. Hermione stopped once again but turned around and he was closer than she thought. He was so close their faces were almost touching.

"And how did, I mean do, you know that?" Her voice got breathier and lighter as she looked up at his face she had never noticed how much taller he was than her. He looked down at her and flashed her a gorgeous smile.

"I know a lot of things. Actually I know more a lot more than I let you believe. I noticed the way you twirl your hair when you think really hard or that your nose crinkles up when you are upset. I also noticed your little crush on weasel bean." His voice flowed together and was soft and comforting.

"What? You think I have a crush on Ron? Well that's just crazy."

"You know I'm right and I know he fancies you too. The way you two look at each other sometimes, oh yeah I noticed that too, it's just so obvious. I also know something you don't it's a bit surprising actually." He chuckled. Their bodies hadn't moved an inch. Hermione could hear his heart beat and feel his chest move up and down as he took nice slow breathes. She closed her eyes and opened them again and took a step back.

"Really and what don't I know?"

"Well that I'm jealous just like your jealous. Except I'm jealous of Weasley." Malfoy looked down at the ground and kicked the floor. He looked like a little boy with his first crush.

"What?! Your jealous of Ron? Why?" She took another step back and looked him up and down with a confused look on her face.

"Of course! He can have you and I well I can't." He got closer to her as he spoke his voice sounding even more comforting that she could just go to sleep in his arms and not have to worry about anything.

"I, I , I don't believe you. You could just be telling me this so you can humiliate me once again an-" He cut her off, grabbed her in his arms and kissed her surprisingly soft on the lips. She looked up at him and he kissed her again but not as soft. It was a little more aggressive but soothing his soft lips on hers. His arms were so warm around her. She moved her hand to his face and stroked his cheek and then suddenly they both stepped back and looked at each other. Both of them turned around fast and started power walk in different directions. Both with a big smile wide across their faces and they could still feel each others lips on their own. They had no idea though that there were two people watching them the entire time.

"Bloody Hell Harry! Did you see that?! I mean Malfoy and Hermione. They and ugh!!!" Ron was rambling while making his hands in the shape of mouths and they were kissing repeatedly. His face turning cherry red and you could see the green eyed monster coming out from deep down. Both of them got out from under the invisibility cloak. Harry though was in shock his mouth was open a little bit and he was just staring at the spot where he saw them lean in for the kiss.

"Harry, did he say that Hermione fancied me?! I mean she really likes me?! Well who could blame her right I mean it's me quidditch all-star and every- Harry? Are you listening to me? Harrrrrrryyyyyy?" Ron snapped his fingers and waved his hand in front of Harry's face for a while until he snapped out of it.

"Right sorry, well we can't tell anyone what we saw alright? Not even Hermione."

"Yeah well we don't want this to get out! I mean think of what a frenzy the school would be in if everyone heard. It makes me angry though! She shouldn't fancy the death eater of the school! This isn't going to end well at all we have to stop it." Ron kept going on and whispering about he and his best friend had just witness until dinner that night. Hermione didn't show up for lunch. She had gone back to a bench right outside the library thinking to herself what a year it's going to be if it keeps heading in this direction. Her stomach had been doing back flips and her intelligent mind was racing with silly girl stuff, Draco Malfoy to be more specific.

Draco Malfoy had been walking around for hours around the school. He knew what he had done was really wrong. He knew that it would end only in heart break for both of them. As he thought of the heartbreak to come he could feel something sweeping over him, it was sadness, frustration and hate. Why couldn't they just hate each other like it used to be. His hate though was being aimed mostly towards his father and having to follow in his footsteps with the was about to start he knew his journey into being a death eater was drawing nearer and nearer. They weren't technically though "dating" or even remotely wanting to be seen together he could just make sure things could back to normal no matter how hard it would be.

"Psst! Psst!

"Whoa!" Malfoy was surprised and fell off the bench he was sitting on.

"Oh honestly, did I really scare you that you had to go and fall?" Hermione gave a flirty giggle which she hated because then she felt like all those other love sick foolish girls who she swore she would never be like but something about this boy made her feel so happy and light.

"Well I wasn't expecting it for one thing I was too busy with my thought." He said as he got up and dusted himself off and sat down right beside Hermione. "What are you doing out here anyways you should be in the great hall eating."

"I wasn't hungry. I haven't been all day actually. Strange."

"Well you mud-bloods need all your energy to actually try and compete with us purebloods you know." He said this with that evil, sly smirk he always had when insulting her and her friends. He changed. Well she thought he had changed. He was being respectful for once and then he just went straight back to his ignorant self.

"What do you mean try and compete with 'you purebloods'?! You know there aren't many purebloods around anymore! And if you are a pureblood you will probably be marrying your cousin or who knows what other relative which is just sick! So please tell me which cousin will you be marrying? Hermione felt her body tremble and her hands form into fists.

"Well, that was a good one Granger. At least I'll have someone to marry and won't die old and all alone like you. For who wants to marry a bushy haired, know it all, stuck up, mud-blood?" Draco could see the tears building up in her eyes and he could see how hard she was trying to hold them in. Draco looked down on her, gave his signature smirk, turned and walked away feeling remorse about telling all of that but it had to be done. He left Hermione there to cry and she did. Hermione fell to her knees as soon as Malfoy was out of sight. Then, the tears just started flowing down her cheeks like a waterfall.

Hermione had sat on the same bench not knowing where the time went until she heard that familiar voice; the one she loved to hear. She got down behind the bench and listened very closely.

"But Professor I need you to talk to my father about speeding up the process it needs to happen before the holidays!" Draco Malfoy whispered to Professor Severus Snape.

"Mr. Malfoy, I cannot tell your father what to do with your pathetic, insubordinate life. I can't understand why you would want speed up you becoming one of us. It's bloody impossible to convince the Dark Lord-" Severus had turned around hearing a gasp and a rustle. The end of his wand was lit up and close to his face. Hermione could see his hooked nose and slick, greasy hair around his cold dark eyes that were searching for the source of the sound. Severus couldn't find it and went back to his discussion.

"As I was saying, it's very impossible to convince the Dark Lord of letting you join early unless you do something he needs dearly."

"Well, I know what he wants dearly: Harry Potter."

"Yes, but for himself."

"Well bloody hell I don't know what to do but I'll find something before anymore encounters with-" He stopped and turned his head and scoffed at the thought of Hermione Granger. He said goodnight to his Professor and pretended to leave for the dungeons. "Alright come on out. I know you're down there. Lumos!" The end of his wand lit up and he pointed it to Hermione as she got up from her hiding spot. "You know if Professor had seen you there he would've- well never mind that but what were you doing down there anyways? What I mean is how much of that did you hear?"

"Every single word. Draco Malfoy how can you even think of becoming-" He covered Hermione's mouth and with his other hand put his finger to his lips signaling her to be quiet. Then he lowered his hand from her mouth and whispered "Follow me." He led her into an empty classroom and sat in a chair. Hermione reluctantly followed.

"You know I'm getting really tired of these little games. If you think it'll make you like me more than you're way off because I actually like you a lot less" she lied but didn't want to let him know that he had broken her.

"You think I want to do this?! Besides I only said that stuff because I knew it would keep you away from me. I was wrong apparently. Wasn't I?" He looked at Hermione with a flicker of hope that he was wrong. "I also knew that if I became a you know what then it would help me stay away; even if I don't want to stay away."

"Well you could've handled it a lot better. I mean the way you handle things are just unethical and I don't appreciate-"

He reached out his hand and grabbed her chin and kissed her with a smile. "You talk way too much." He kissed her again but she pulled away quickly.

"You do know that this will never work. No matter how hard we could try it won't ever work. We have two different paths we must follow. You and the path you've been destined to go down since before you were born and mine the path my family and friends have made for me. Me staying the good girl and you er not so good." Hermione became sadder thinking of their lives and how they will never be together.

"I was right you do talk too much." Malfoy's mouth turned into a smug smirk and he eventually gave a little laugh.

"This isn't funny! Unless I'm totally alone here with my feelings then I feel like a complete idiot." Hermione was starting to become very emotional like always. She scrunched up her nose and flung her arms in the air while Malfoy just smirked and giggled at her with a sweet face.

"I don't think our situation is funny at all I just think you are funny when you get flustered and upset." Malfoy started walking back and forth from Hermione to the desks near them. "I know what you mean though and you aren't alone with your feelings. I'm here and I know we can't be together ever. Even if I do want this with all my heart. I have to sacrifice my happiness for your life and safety. Of course it's not all of my happiness because you're safe and better off with potter and the weasel."

"Don't you get it?! I won't be all happy I won't be with you. It's only been a few days and I feel closer to you than ever. It's kind of funny." Hermione smiled, with tears staining her face, at Malfoy and he looked at her with a tear starting to form in his stone eyes. Something was changing in him and he knew that it was because of Hermione. He didn't want to disappoint her but he had to. Malfoy had to leave his one true joy in his life to fulfill his father's wishes or be slaughtered. Hermione had to let him go or let him be killed because of her. They had remained silent for some time not even looking at each other.

"So you know the solution then don't you?" Malfoy finally broke the silence with the words Hermione and him didn't to hear and the answer they both didn't want to accept.

"Yes."

"Well then tomorrow we must go back to the old relationship of loathing each other"

"Mhmm." Hermione nodded her head and Malfoy did as well.

"Look, help Harry win this war because if he does I'll be done with all of this and it won't matter anymore." He grabbed her hand and put it to his face then let it go and looked her straight in her eyes and said "I love you." He turned and walked out back to his dormitories.

Well I hope you liked it(: More to come soon review(:
