A/N2: I have 2 other written down that I did shortly after I posted chapter 1. But this one was random and based on what I've heard said about me multiple times. I have a habit of overthinking.
Disclaimer: Oh, I don't own Harry Potter.
If Hermione Granger could have any unconventional middle name that had to suit her, it would be over-think. Hermione 'Over-think' Granger. It fit her persona completely. She could take the simplest of things and twist it around in her head until it became complex and terrifying. What she over thought most was her time with Draco. Her secret lover as he so eloquently phrased it. She preferred the term "friends with benefits." But that wasn't much better. They weren't really together, but they weren't not together...if that makes any sense.
To Draco, it was fun with no strings attached. To Hermione it was an issue. She really didn't know what to make of it. One minute they would be talking platonically, and the next they would be snogging passionately. Hermione couldn't even lose herself in those moments. She would overanalyze everything. The way he kissed her, the way he held her, just everything. One day, she decided to actually talk to Draco about it. They were sitting in the sunshine by the lake and Draco was relaxing peacefully while Hermione was staring off into space with a perturbed look on her face. Draco noticed this and tried to distract her from her troubles by kissing her. She pulled away from him, much to his surprise. He frowned slightly, not used to being denied.
"What's wrong?"
"What are we? Are we together, are we friends with benefits? What's going to happen with us later? Do you love me? Sometimes I feel like you like me as more than a friend, but then other times you say or do stuff that makes me think otherwise. I don't know, and I think I feel something really deep for you, but I don't know how you feel. And I don't want it to be weird or awkward between us. I don't know what to do. And I think---"
He clamped his hand over her mouth. "If I told you that I loved you would that shut you up?" Hermione's eyes widened and Draco felt it safe to uncover her mouth. She was gaping at him wordlessly. "I thought so." He lowered his lips to hers and kissed her firmly on the mouth. For once, Hermione didn't over think and her mind wasn't in overdrive mode. She wasn't even thinking about anything except how good it felt to be in the arms of one who loved her.
A/N2: (sighs wistfully) A mix of my dreams and some reality...yeah. Ducky, Kaare and maybe Spencer know what's up. Please review. No flames.
