Hey! I do not own Harry Potter! I'm spouting out chapters like I don't even know what! I might take a break for a couple of days if I can tear myself away! Thanks for the reviews and enjoy the chapter!
Hermione lay awake in the Slytherin dormitories thinking. She had kissed Draco Malfoy and he had kissed her back. She was feeling more and more sure that she was falling for him.
Similarly, Draco was confused as to how he felt about Hermione. He'd certainly not thought like that about her. Well, not any other time than the Yule Ball. She'd walked down the stairs like a completely different person. Gorgeous. Proof in that she'd spent the rest of the evening on Victor Krum's arm.
That night, for the first night in a while, Draco and Hermione had the same dream.
It is beginning. Be swift.
The next morning Draco and Hermione were confused. What was beginning? Be swift about what?
Hermione wanted to talk to Draco about the kiss. She wanted to know what it meant and how he felt about her. Draco wanted to know exactly the same thing. How did Hermione feel about him and what did the kiss mean?
"Draco?" Hermione asked tentatively. "Erm... We kissed yesterday. I don't want to be messed about, so I'm just going to ask. How do you feel about me?"
Draco took a breath. How did he feel about her? He certainly liked her but he wasn't entirely sure how he felt. "Wow, Hermione… erm… ah… I… I'm confused, I'm really sorry; I just need some time to think. I'm sorry"
"That's fine." Hermione lied. "I've got to go." She ran to the bathroom wiping away tears in the process. It must look ridiculous. Draco Malfoy crying! But she loved him. She was sure of it and he had to "think about it"?
Draco was still sat at the table in the library a couple of minutes later. He felt horrible. He knew he loved her. Why would he have to think about anything? He had seen tears in Hermione's eyes as she left. What could he do?
