I do not own Harry Potter...only the plot.

(A/N: Hope you all like this chapter. I know I talked about an idea for the story a little bit back and you'll find out about it within the next couple chapters...who knows? It may even be this one! I can't wait for you all to find out. Hope you all enjoy the chapter!)

Chapter 7

She was seeing things. This was not happening. She was not staring into the gray eyes that had plagued her for the past few years.

Ok, Hermione old girl, calm and collected breaths. He doesn't need to see you panic. That's it. Deep breaths. Pick up your book and go to the desk.

She finally snapped out of it and picked up her book and walked casually to her new desk. She could feel the eyes burning into her back; watching her; waiting for her to say something. But she wasn't going to do it. He could be the first one to speak. And he would be the first one.

As she got to her desk and took out the box that she had shrunk, he spoke.

"Granger. How the hell did you get the position of being co-head with me?" He drawled as she tried to keep herself calm.

She slowly turned around and faced him. "For your information, I deserve this position as much as you do. Actually, let me take that back. I deserve this position a hell of a lot more than you do!" She screamed at him.

She watched as he took a deep breath. Trying to steady himself and calm his anger. Then, he sat down in his chair and put his head in his hands. "I can't do this, Granger. I just can't. I'm so sorry for everything I have ever done to you. For calling you a Mudblood. For being such a fucking prat! I can't argue with you anymore. I'm sorry for what I just said to you about being co-head with me." He whispered as she stared at him in shock.

Did Draco freaking Malfoy just apologize to me? Yes, Hermione, he did. Ok, I definitely need to stop talking to myself.

Then, she found herself doing something she would have never believed she would do. She was walking toward Draco. Her feet were leading her there before she had time to think it through. On her way over, she flicked her wand and made the door shut.

When she got over to him, she knew he still hadn't noticed her. She bent down with one hand on his shoulder. He looked up into the brown eyes that had been haunting him for years. And she looked into the gray eyes that she loved. And that's when it hit her. She was in love with Draco Malfoy. She had been ever since the night they had together.

"It's okay, Draco. I accept your apology. Please, stop beating yourself up about it. It's in the past; even if it did just happen a minute ago." She said while smiling.

Then, he did something she hadn't seen him do in about five years. He turned in his seat and grabbed her face between his two hands. She watched as his eyes swept over her face and his thumbs stroked her cheekbones.

She closed her eyes as she relaxed into his touch. And then she felt them. She felt his soft lips caressing hers in a very slow, tantalizing dance.

He had registered her coming near him and when she had looked into his eyes, he knew he loved her. That he had loved her ever since she had punched him. Hell, wasn't his fault he liked women who weren't afraid of him and standing up to him. He liked them to have a little dominance in them.

He knew what he wanted when he held her face in his hands and he knew they both wanted it when she closed her eyes and relaxed into his touch. He memorized her face in such a relaxed state.

Then, he did what he had been wanting to do again since that night and even more so since he had saw her again at The Leaky Cauldron Friday night. He placed his lips upon hers and kissed her deeply. It didn't take long for them to be on the floor with her laying down and him on top of her.

Dear God! You can take me now. I would die a happy man if I was to die now. Her lips are absolute heaven.

He pulled back and looked at the beautiful woman that lay beneath him. He heard her trying to get her breath and then ask if something was wrong.

"Yes." He said; the look of disappointment in her eyes made him hurry up and amend his statement. "I mean yes as in yes something is wrong because the door is still unlocked." He grabbed his wand off the edge of the desk and cast the spell that would keep the door locked.

He then looked back at the brunette under him and said, "Now. Where were we?" Smirking as he bent down to capture her lips once again with his.

(A/N: sorry its so short. I've had a lot going on and just wanted to get this up for y'all)
