Classes had finished and it was now the end of the day. Students all around the castle were shuffling quickly to their common rooms, all except Hermione Granger who sat studying in the library. It grew later and was now not aloud for the girl to be out of her room, she hadn't noticed until miss Pince the librarian came to Hermione telling her of the late hour, not giving her a detention of course for Miss Pince adored Hermione and her love for books.

Hermione walked down the dimly lit corridors quickly, jumping at the smallest sounds and shadows. Someone rounded the corner and Hermione froze, praying it wasn't a teacher there to think poorly of her being out of her common room, but to her delight it was not a teacher, and to her bigger delight, it was Draco Malfoy.

"Hello" he said coolly

"Hi"

"What are you doing up at this late hour?" asked Draco, his hands plunged deep within his dark suit's pockets

"I could ask you the same question" Hermione responded raising her eyebrows. Draco chuckled darkly

"I uh, had to do something, then I went back to the common room and noticed you weren't there. So I uh… I came looking for you. Wanted to make sure you weren't in any trouble" Draco's pale cheeks blossomed with a very light shade of pink, which you wouldn't notice unless you were really looking, and Hermione was. Gazing at him lovingly.

"That's very sweet of you" she said barely louder then a whisper

"Mhm. Don't you know it's dangerous for a beautiful young girl like yourself to be walking around unescorted at this hour of the night" he asked her sternly. Hermione raised her eyebrows shocked

"Erm… yes? That is why I was going back to our room" Hermione stepped forward as too lead the way back to their room, but Draco side stepped blocking her path. Hermione's eyebrow arched "what are y-" she started but was silenced by Draco's soft lips plunging onto her own. His hands left his pockets as they grasped the sides of her face gently.

Slowly Hermione opened her mouth allowing Draco's tongue access to explore inside. A deep moan escaped the back of their throats almost in unison. Forcefully, Draco grabbed her shoulders pushing her against the wall. Hermione gasped in short pain, but shook it off quickly

"What are you doing" she asked pushing him away gently "we could get in a lot of trouble"

"I know," he said smiling devilishly, almost shaking with excitement "it's kind of exciting isn't it though? Not knowing if you'll get caught" his eyes widened wildly as he shot up his eyebrows suggestively. Hermione grew a smug smile. It was very thrilling, it gave Hermione that bolt of excitement she loved so much, that she got the last time her and Draco had been intimate.

"I don't know" she said anyways, biting her bottom lip softly, she still didn't want to get into any trouble, even if it was enjoyable trying not to.

"Come on Granger" said Draco leaning in pushing up against her body. Hermione gasped, but not in pain, in shock and pleasure "be bad" he raised his chin to her and she quickly felt all her worries vanish, she found the bad boy act completely sexy and mesmerizing. She lunged herself forward into a deep harsh kiss that may very well leave bruises when they finished.

She didn't hesitate; she instantly opened her mouth the minute their lips collided. Draco grabbed Hermione's hips and pushed her into a large dark gap in the corridor's walls.

Their snogging intensed as Draco grabbed Hermione's legs, wrapping them around his torso, and lifting her against the wall. Hermione ran her fingers through Draco's blonde hair, now messy from Hermione's fingers. Hermione could feel once again, Draco's hardness pressing against her lower parts, only this time she didn't mind. She loved knowing that she made Draco feel this way, it made her feel powerful that she, the Gryffindor princess, could make the supposadly evil Slytherin prince, feel that way, and about her too.

Slowly Draco moved his hands down Hermione's shoulders stopping at the sides of her breasts. Without much thought he moved his hands in to both cupped their own breast. Hermione sighed in to Draco's mouth as he slowly began to caress them gently, making Hermione swoon and want to beg for more, when suddenly the couple heard faint footsteps in the distant.

Hermione jumped to the ground and Draco shot from the small gap listening attentively "that way" he said pointing down the opposite direction Hermione had come from the library. In one swift move Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and began a slow run down the hall until they reached their portrait.

"Feather duster" they said in unison, the portrait swinging open slowly. The two made it in safely just as a shadow was rounding the corner. The two panted softly then smiled and laughed lightly when their eyes met.

"Well that was fun," said Draco brushing back his hair with his left hand. Hermione nodded in agreement. "I think we should be off to bed now. Remember we have lunch plans tomorrow" he said walking towards his door "room of requirements, twelve O'clock?"

"Sounds great," said Hermione breathlessly. Draco smiled at her, blowing a soft kiss, which floated over to Hermione (being magical) and landed softly on her cheek. Hermione blushed "goodnight" she said swooning.

"Goodnight" Draco closed his bedroom door and began to change into his pajamas. He was shocked to find that a new feeling grew inside of him, he was… falling in love.

Hermione closed her bedroom door, not bothering to lock it, as an unexpected visit from Draco would not be discouraged. Though she'd have to hex him for it, just for flirtatious reasons. She smiled to herself as she found she was falling in love with the enemy, but to that she frowned.

Hermione sat anxiously in her seat in Transfiguration. Only a few more minutes until her date with Draco. She couldn't completely explain what was happening to her, or between them, for she didn't even completely understand it herself. She knew Draco had feelings for her, and Draco knew she had feelings for him, but what was to come for this new feeling she had… she honestly thought she was falling in love with the boy. What if the boy didn't feel that strongly for her? What if he didn't want that kind of relationship, and were they even in a relationship?

Hermione had been so lost in her thoughts she hadn't even noticed when the professor called her name for a question. "Huh?" she called dumbly looking around when Harry nudged her side. The Professor huffed loudly, but let it slide, as Hermione never caused any trouble. The professor turned back to the lesson as Hermione slid down in her seat in embarrassment.

Class ended and everyone shuffled from the room quickly to get lunch. "Why are you so distracted lately?" asked Ron in an annoyed tone.

"I told you exams," she said simply

"Mid terms were nearly a month ago"

"Right... now I'm worried for the finals" she said as she gathered her things in a haste "sorry, I can't have lunch today. Need to have a talk with… uh, professor Sprout… bye" Hermione exited quickly as the two boys shared suspicious glances.

Hermione ran to the common room quickly throwing her books and robe inside, keeping on her uniform. Quickly she ran down the twisting halls of Hogwarts until she reached a large blank wall. Hermione closed her eyes tight thinking of how she needed the room opened so she could be with Draco.

Suddenly a large magnificently detailed door appeared before her. She opened it slowly, sliding in quick so to not be seen, then shutting it firm behind her, watching as it vanished. Hermione walked through the crowded room searching for a sign of Draco.

Suddenly a hard hand clamp on to Hermione's shoulder she gasped as the hand turned her sharply around. "Draco" she sighed with relief when her eyes met the tall blonde's.

"Finally I've found you, follow me," he told her with a crooked smile. Finally? Thought Hermione, she'd only just entered. Her thoughts vanished as she tried to keep up with Draco as he quickly walked down the twisted isles of the room, stopping at a large object covered by a blanket.

"What's that?" asked Hermione confused. Draco didn't answer her; he reached up grasping the blanket and yanked it down revealing a tall oddly shaped wardrobe.

"A vanishing cabinet" he answered finally smiling largely at her stunned expression. " Come on, we're going out for lunch" Draco extended his hand, and Hermione took it in her own. With his other hand Draco swung the cabinet door open and stepped in, pulling Hermione in with him.

"Draco?" asked Hermione in the darkness

"Hmm?"

"I know the other cabinet is in Borgin and Burkes … what if someone sees us?"

"Don't worry, there was this… meeting, today. Death eaters all over the place. People are steering clear of Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley"

"And your father?" she asked looking up at him as her eyes had adjusted to the dark. Draco just looked at her, she knew he was implying his father was at this so-called meeting and wouldn't be anywhere around. Hermione just nodded as to say she understood.

Draco murmured something under his breath holding out his wand and suddenly there was a loud swoosh and clicking sound. Slowly he reached out and opened the door to reveal the inside of Borgin and Burkes

"Come on" he whispered pulling her through the shop and out the front door. Hand-in-hand, the two ran down the alleyway until they reached a dead end brick wall. Hermione was confused and arched her eyebrows. Draco looked down at her and smiled at her confusion. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his wand. He tapped three random bricks in the wall four times, and suddenly the bricks moved aside revealing a small wooden door. Draco bent, as he was too tall to just walk through, and opened the door pulling Hermione through behind him. Finally he stood straight and snapped his fingers. Ten candles flickered on from random places in the small room and Hermione gasped.
