A/N- Thank you for the feedback for the last chapter! I actually really like this one that I wrote; I hope you guys do too!

Disclaimer: I totally don't own Harry Potter and it sucks.

Warning: The sexual content is a little heavier than the previous chapters. Figured I should warn you guys.

Speechless

"Oh my god," Parvati and Padma exchanged a shocked glance and their eyes traveled back to the pair that had the whole school speechless. "I can't believe-"

"Draco and Hermione are dating?" Neville looked at Seamus who nodded.

"Ain't it somethin'?" Seamus stared at them. "Why-"

"Are they dancing?" Katie Bell leaned over in her seat and whispered to Leanne.

"Didn't you see the fight?"

"No…" Leanne nodded to where only ten minutes ago Hermione told her friends about her and Draco. Katie turned her head and saw the scene, glasses spilled, chairs in array, and a bloody napkin. "Who fought?" She looked back at her friend. Leanne smirked,

"Ron and-"

"Draco got into a fist fight over Hermione!" Romilda Vane ran over to one of the tables on the other side of the room from where the fight had taken place. Everybody looked up from the table, eyes squinted and mouths hanging open. "It was-"

"Very nerve wracking, Albus. I think something is going on between Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy-"

"And whatever it is, Minerva, I am sure Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy will find a way to work it out." Dumbledore smiled at her before exiting from the dance, as the whispers and stares continued on the newly discovered couple.

Harry watched his friend walk around in circles in the Gryffindor common room, knocking things to the ground. "Ron?" He asked. Ron ignored him, and swatted at some books on a desk. "Ron?" He kicked at a pair of shoes on the ground. "Ron?" He reached out for a vase. "Stop it!" He ran over to his friend and grabbed his shoulders. "Just stop," he said. Ron shook him off.

"What the hell is she thinking?" Ron was fuming. "How could she date that git! He treated her horrible all of these years! He is the enemy, Harry! What happened to that?" He yelled, walking around the room again, he kicked at a desk, and grabbed at his foot. "Ow, ow," he hopped on one leg and put it back down.

"I don't know," Harry admitted, sitting down on the couch. "Their conversation in the hallway makes sense now." He cleaned his glasses.

"I just don't believe this, how can she like him?" He sat down next to Harry. "It's disgusting," Ron shook his head. "This is Draco Malfoy we are talking about."

"Maybe we should have let her explain before you jumped him." Harry smirked and then backed down when Ron threw him a look. "Listen, I just want to know how all of this happened. Maybe it's just a phase and she will get over him."

"She better," Ron crossed his arms. "What do we do now? How do we get her to dump him?"

"What?" Harry sat up and looked at his friend.

"Well he obviously doesn't like her; he is just pretending to so he can dump her later and humiliate her. So we need her to dump him first." Harry raised an eyebrow. "Or she is under some spell…" Ron thought out loud.

"You really think that?"

"Well it would make sense, wouldn't it? He's a Slytherin, Harry. He's the bad guy."

"I don't think Hermione will listen to that." Harry said, uneasily.

"She has to, she's smart." Ron stood up. "She's just too naïve to see what he's really doing."

"Ron, that hallway conversation that I heard… it didn't seem like he wanted her to break up with him. It sounded legit." He looked up at his friend.

"It's all part of the plan, Harry." He said. Harry looked unsure. "Trust me; he's doing this as some joke."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Well we obviously need to talk with her."

"Agreed," Harry stood up. "Listen, I don't think we should throw all of this on her right now. Just take it slow, talk to her calmly and find out what is going on." Ron sighed.

"Fine, but I need to find out now." He headed for the picture frame. "Coming?" He called behind to Harry. Harry sighed and nodded, following Ron out of the common room.

Hermione hadn't even noticed that people had cleared away from her and Draco on the dance floor. Her eyes peered over his shoulder only to find a bunch of people watching them from a good few feet away. She slipped out of Draco's grip and looked around, she could see everybody whispering and staring at them. It made her uncomfortable. She had been through enough for one day, the attention from the whole school would have to wait for tomorrow. "What's wrong?" Draco frowned at Hermione. Hermione looked over at him and rubbed her hands together.

"Can we maybe sit down for a few minutes?" Draco scanned the crowd with his eyes; something had seemed to spook her. When he noticed the stares he looked back over at her and took her hand.

"Okay," he pulled them off the dance floor, people side stepping them like they had a disease, and they sat back down at their now empty table. Hermione reached over and took a sip of her water. She felt like somebody had put a spotlight on them, like us. She realized that she should have been expecting this. They created the scene, so therefore it would draw a crowd.

"How long do you want to stay?" She asked him. Draco looked over at her and cocked an eyebrow.

"Done already?"

"Sick of being stared at," she admitted.

"Well you are beautiful, and well hey I'm not so bad myself." He winked at her. This got her to smile. "Listen its fine. We can leave when you want to. Uh did you want to leave now?" He picked up his bloody napkin from the table and moved it out of the way. Hermione opened her mouth to speak but no words came out when she felt a presence approach the table. Draco looked over and he too was silent.

"Hermione," Ron stood in front of the table. "We need to talk," he threw Draco a look. "Alone," he huffed.

"Uh-" Hermione looked between Ron and Draco, not knowing what she should say. She saw Harry come up behind Ron and he gave her a small smile.

"Hermione?" Ron said, expectedly.

"I just-" she looked at Draco again.

"Ron!" Lavender called from the crowd. The four of them turned their heads to see Lavender run up to their table and make her way to Ron. She crossed her arms and frowned at him. "Why do you care if she dates him!" She pointed at Draco. "I'm your girlfriend here, not her!" She stomped her foot. Draco and Hermione exchanged a glance and looked back up at the two of them.

"Lav," Ron grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away from the table, but she resisted.

"No! Don't touch me!" She stepped back from him. "You ditched me at the dance for her!"

"I didn't leave you for her!" Ron exclaimed.

"Save it Ron, we're through."

"What?" Harry rubbed his forehead and Hermione's mouth opened slightly. Draco ruffled his hair and blew out a breath threw his nose.

"We are done! Because you obviously care for her way more than you care for me." Lavender turned towards Hermione. "I don't know what you did to me that night, Granger. But you will-"

"Will what?" Draco snapped, sitting up further in his chair. Lavender looked at him and quickly shut her mouth. She looked back at Ron and shook her head, a smug look on her face.

"Goodbye, Ron," she spun around on her heels and stomped out of the dance. Ron stood their shocked and staring after her. Nobody moved until Ron slowly turned back to face them, a shocked expression still planted on his face.

"Maybe I should-" Hermione rose slowly from her seat and Draco watched her. "We can talk," she informed Harry and Ron. Ron came out of his haze and slowly nodded.

"We'll be waiting out there for you," he said as he and Harry headed out. Hermione looked down at Draco.

"Will you be okay for a little a while?" Draco sat back and out stretched his arms to behind his head.

"Yeah I think so," he smirked. Hermione nodded and turned to leave when he grabbed her wrist. "Wait," he tugged on her arm, drawing her back and she leaned down, he stretched out his neck and gave her a soft kiss on her lips, making goose bumps form on her arms. Hermione pulled back, her eyes seemed to sparkle from the light playing off them. "I'll be here when you get back." He whispered.

"And I'll come back for you." She smiled. Draco grinned at dropped his hand from her wrist. Hermione stood back up and maneuvered her way through the tables and out of the room. Her eyes adjusted to the dimmer lights when she stepped out. Across from her, Ron leaned against a wall with his arms crossed and his head down. Harry leaned on the wall, facing him. Ron seemed to have noticed someone staring at him and looked up. Hermione kept quiet and walked over to the stairs and headed up them. Ron and Harry followed behind, nobody speaking.

When they finally reached an empty corridor, Hermione sat down on a bench and watched them take a seat on the floor, in front of her. "What's up?" She asked them, when they looked up at her. "Hmm?" She tried again, but they just stared at her, almost as if they were studying her, as if she wasn't who she was anymore. "Ron? You seemed like you wanted to say something to me." He cleared his throat and chose his next words carefully.

"I don't know where to start," he scratched his head. "Actually I do what were you thinking, going out with him?" He raised his voice a little too loud for her liking. Hermione sighed and looked down at the floor. Here came the beating… and the speech…

"Draco and I really like each other. And I know it is not going to please everybody but-"

"What is this?" Ron pushed himself up from the ground and threw out his hands. "This liking of Draco?"

"Ron," Harry warned.

"What Harry? You want to know just as bad as I do!"

"I'm just confused," Harry admitted, looking over at Hermione. "How did this start?"

"Um," Hermione blushed, and she looked back down, hoping she could hide it. "It's a long story." She looked back at them. "We just fell for each other and the day I broke up with Ron I took a chance on him because I thought he liked me back. Ever since he saw me in the Great Hall, on the tables, yes he was there with Snape to see that." She tried to be as truthful as possible.

"The day you broke up with me!" Ron yelled. "You got together with Draco!" This set her off. Hermione jumped up and pointed an accusing finger at Ron.

"Hey! Don't you start with me! I know you got with Lavender right after you dumped me!"

"Well at least she's not the enemy, Hermione!" Ron clenched his fists.

"Please, this is your fault Ron. If you never broke up with me, for reasons that I do know about, I would never have gotten together with Draco. I first took a chance on him because of what you did to me with Lavender!"

"So this is pay back?" Ron said, stepping closer to her. Harry got up quickly to his feet.

"You guys," he said, uneasily.

"No this isn't pay back you idiot! I'm not going out with him to piss you off, that's just a bonus. I'm going out with him because I love him!" Harry and Ron's mouth dropped open. If they opened any further, she was sure their jaws would fall off. She was shocked herself to say the least. That was definitely not in the speech.

"What?" They said in unison. Hermione's heart began to race.

"I said," she began slowly, "that I am in love with him. W-we are in love with each other."

"Are you kidding me?" Ron asked, astonished.

"No Ron,"

"Hermione," Harry said.

"It's true," she stared at Ron.

"How could you?" Ron threw at her, disgusted.

"No, how could you?" She threw back. Ron stepped away from her. "Don't run away Ron, seems you do that a lot, don't you?" She knew she was pushing him.

"He doesn't love you, you're blind." Ron said.

"Excuse me?" Hermione's mouth dropped open. "Is that what you think? This is all one big joke on me?"

"Obviously!" Ron threw up his hands. "He would never go out with you!" Harry slapped a hand over his face, and buried it.

"Screw you!" Hermione felt like slapping him. "You don't know anything; you don't know what we've been through to be here. You just wish that it was some big joke on me, don't you? Just one hilarious plan of his. Well sorry to disappoint you Ron, but it's far from that." She looked over at Harry. "I hope we can still be friends after this. That you will still accept me for dating him. And accept him."

"Of course you're still my friend." Harry said. "And I will learn to accept you two. But I don't know if I can accept him, at least for now." He said honestly.

"Fine," Hermione straightened up. "Then I guess we're done here," she glanced at Ron and then back at Harry. She turned away from them and headed back down the hall. The only sound made coming from her high heels meeting the floor; like they were clapping because of her bravery. For once.

"Hey," Ginny touched Hermione's shoulder lightly and she looked back at her the second she entered into the dance.

"Hi," she said to her friend, not even attempting a smile.

"Are you okay?" Ginny frowned, coming around to face Hermione. Hermione took a deep breath and shook her head.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay," Ginny said, understandingly. "I just wanted to let you know I approve."

"What?" She said.

"Of you and Draco, I accept you guys together." She smiled at her friend. Hermione broke into a smile.

"You don't know how good it is to hear that." She pulled her friend into a hug and Ginny returned it. "Thank you," she said, pulling back.

"Yeah," Ginny squeezed her friend's arm and nodded at the doors where Dean stood. "Should be getting back to my date." She pulled her lips into a tight line. Hermione looked at Dean and gave her friend a sympathetic look.

"Not the guy you wanted to come with, was it?" Ginny frowned.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Kind of," Hermione shrugged. She nodded her head. "It will happen one day."

"How do you know?" Ginny asked, as if Hermione had the answer.

"Because it happened to me," she smiled, looking over her shoulder back at Draco. And maybe she did.

"Alright, well we are heading out. I'm going to try to salvage the night, with a bowl of ice cream." She gave a nod at Hermione. "Have fun," she said.

"Thanks," she watched Ginny leave with Dean and turned around and stared at Draco. He looked gorgeous, and he was hers. Now she knew she could say it without feeling silly, she heard what he said. She got what she wanted. He called her his girlfriend. Right in front of everybody. And it felt amazing.

Hermione wandered over to Draco and he looked up from the table. "Hey," she said.

"You came back," he smirked as she took the seat next to him.

"Yeah, I saw this really cute guy over there. I was hoping I could try to steal one dance from him." She pointed at the crowd.

"That's cute," he shook his head. Hermione smiled at him. "What?" He asked.

"You called me your girlfriend." She said.

"Because you are," she leaned over and pecked his lips. He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, you are my girlfriend." She kissed him a little longer this time. "Hmm I like this, girlfriend." Hermione laughed and put a hand around his neck and pulled him in for a longer kiss. Draco licked his lips. "You don't know how bad I want you right now." Hermione smirked.

"Okay," she stood up and looked down at him. "Let's go," she nodded for him to get up.

"What? Seriously?" He asked, standing up.

"I can want it to," she stated matter-of-factly and grabbed his hand. "Wanna go?"

"Hell yes," he said as she pulled him back out and into the hallway.

"Can we take a walk first?" Draco looked over at her. "I need to take a breather."

"Okay," he said reluctantly, as he dropped his shoulders.

"Only for a few minutes," she smiled, shaking her head, catching on to his disappointment.

They walked hand in hand and he let her lead. Before he knew it they were back up in the Astronomy Tower. Hermione slid off her high heels and tossed them to the side with her free hand. "I like looking at the view," she said, dropping his hand and walking over to the opening in the wall, to look out. "Isn't it beautiful?" She whispered as she felt him come and stand next to her.

"Yes, you are," she looked over at him to see that he was staring at her. She smiled at him.

"I was talking about the view."

"I know, I am looking at one." He smirked. Hermione bit her bottom lip to contain a smile, and grabbed his jacket. She pulled him to her and their lips met. He parted his mouth and she slipped her tongue into his, and their tongues wrestled. After a minute, she pulled her tongue back out and they closed their mouths again.

"Hmm," Hermione said into the kiss. Draco reached behind her and found the zipper to her dress. He slowly unzipped it but stopped on her lower back. He reached in and fondled her thong and she pressed her pelvis up against his growing hard on. She moaned at him for indication to unzip the rest of the dress and he did. She pulled back and quickly slipped of the dress from her body. Draco took her in, the only thing left on her was her underwear and her chunky necklace, she had no bra on and she smirked at him. Hermione seemed to be radiating.

Draco began to pull off his coat, Hermione helping him. He let it fall to the floor and he reached for her again and their lips crashed down on each others. Hermione pulled off his tie, like a pro, without lifting her head, and tossed it aside. Draco smiled into the kiss and pulled at her bottom lip with his teeth. Hermione grabbed at his hair, letting her fingers run through the feather like strands. Draco forced himself away from her and ripped off his shirt, showing his muscles and abs, from years of Quidditch playing. Hermione traced his abs with her finger as he picked at the side of her thong with his. She looked back up at him and her hands traveled to his pants, she unbuckled them as their lips, slightly apart, met again, as they gave each other slow stride kisses while his pants came off.

There was only one material left on both of them that was crucial for what they wanted, needed, to accomplish. Draco grabbed the sides of her underwear and pulled them down, his face passing down the bottom of her body as he squatted down, looking back up at her. Draco removed her underwear the rest of the way, lifting her feet as if taking off a shoe. He stood back up, flicked off his own shoes and this time it was her turn. She pulled at the front of his briefs, which she noticed he wore just for the occasion as they were usually boxers, and she pulled them down, making sure to lightly caress him as she let her finger pull it down from the front. She let go and they dropped to his ankles and he quickly slipped them off.

Hermione put a hand around his neck and one on his shoulder as he placed one on her lower back and brought his hand further down to her. She moaned into him and kissed him hard.

All of their worries flying out the window and slipping into the snow. Simply disappearing as they made love like it was the first time.

A/N- Tried to keep myself from not going any further in that scene because then I would have had to go back and change the rating into M and I just wanted to keep my T rating for this one… I don't know maybe for the next Dramione story, which by the way I have all in my head and I am pretty excited for. Don't worry it does not mean that this is over!

Thoughts, questions, comments, as long as it is a review it's good enough for me!
