a/n Okay I am so sorry I took ages to upload like I said in my note I've had a lot happening this week, but I've finally managed to sit down and upload a new chapter, it's not very good because I had no idea what to write so if it's rubbish I apologise it will be better next time.

Anyway, enjoy and remember follow me on twitter please :3 3 XMizzTuraX (Erin) the picture is of me (ginger hair covered in snow =P) ^-^

Hermione lay on her bed, deep in thought. There was a light knock on the dorm door and she sat up, "Come in." She called toward the door; the door opened slightly and Ron peered in. Hermione stared at the gangly ginger before sitting back against her bed. It was quiet for a minute until Hermione felt the end of her bed sink. "You okay?" Ron asked,

"Fine, why?"

"Well you've been in here on your own since dinner and I was just worried." Ron said gently. Hermione shrugged. "I was just thinking."

"About?"

"Krum and Draco."

"The attempted kiss?" Hermione nodded.

"Draco got so jealous and I was worried he would lash out and do something he'd regret and then you came and. . . protected me and I don't know why you did."

"If Malfoy had done anything it would only have been because he loves you and he may have regretted it and I protected you because I care and I wanted to make amends." Ron replied, Hermione sat up and face Ron "Well thanks, if you hadn't shown up for all I know my boyfriend could have been in a cell in Azkaban at the minute." Hermione laughed, Ron smiled slightly to her. "Where's Lavender anyway?" Hermione asked. "With Parvarti and Padma." Ron replied.

"Ah." Hermione replied.

"Where's Malfoy, how come you're not with him?"

"He'll be with Pansy, she's been a state since her dad died." Hermione replied.

"Ah, he's dedicated when it comes to friends isn't he?" Hermione smiled proudly and nodded.

"They're like his family." Hermione said softly.

"Hermione." A voice said; pushing the door open.

"Hm?" Hermione asked turning to the door.

"Draco's looking for you." Ginny said. "He said it was important." Hermione nodded and stood up, she swept past Ginny and headed to the common room and out into the corridor. "Hey Draco, Ginny said you wanted me, what's up and how's Pansy?"

"Yeah I did want you, Pansy's better but still heartbroken, that's actually why I wanted to see you. Walk with me?" Draco said holding his hand out, Hermione took it with a confused expression.

They walked down to the lake and stood under the tree, "So what's up?" Hermione asked.

"Pansy's dads funeral is this Saturday and she gets Friday, Saturday and Sunday off and McGonagall said she could have one friend go with her. She asked me and I said I wanted too but would ask you first. Do you mind?" Draco explain. Hermione smiled.

"Of course I don't mind. You didn't have to ask me." Hermione replied. Draco smiled and leant down to kiss her. "So what's life like having Daphne and Theodore dating?"

"Do not get me started." Draco growled.

"Bad, huh?" Hermione said, Draco glanced sideways at her and scoffed.

"Awful, every time I walk into the dorm they're at it like rabbits, it's driving Blaise and I insane!" Draco grumbled, Hermione laughed and looked at Draco. "Thank you." She murmured.

"What for?" Draco asked her.

"Being patient." Hermione said. "Most guys would have dumped their girlfriend if they hadn't slept together within a fortnight, let alone a month." She sighed. Draco smiled.

"I don't mind waiting for you, you're worth it." Draco said, placing his hands on her waist and kissing her deeply. Hermione fell backwards but caught herself and placed her hands on Draco's chest. "I should tell Pansy I'll go with her, want to come with? We could relax in the prefect's common room." Draco said moving back slightly. Hermione nodded and they made their way to the castle.

When they walked in they found the school deserted, taking Draco's hand Hermione started for the familiar route to the dungeons before Draco started leading her, as they approached the Slytherin common room Draco let go of her hand and she looked up at him. "You go in there and I'll speak to Pansy, back in a sec." Draco said, Hermione nodded and walked in, she headed to the sofa and settled into it comfortably. A few minutes passed and soon Draco returned, "Sorted." He said going over to her. Hermione smiled and slid onto his knee before kissing him, Hermione felt Draco move and deepen the kiss. Hermione smiled and hugged Draco as he kissed her cheek before moving to her jaw line, Hermione felt the hairs on her arm stand on end as goose bumps appeared. Hermione gasped as Draco kissed her neck but a slight tugging feeling made her gasp a little louder. Draco moved from her neck and kissed her cheek as she moved to kiss his neck, mirroring his movement. Draco moaned softly as Hermione left a trail of love bites before she went back to kissing him on the lips. Hermione fell back and lay on the sofa with Draco lay across her, kissing her deeply. Hermione pulled back suddenly. "No!" She blurted out; Draco frowned down at her, "I'm sorry I can't." She said wriggling away from Draco. Draco gave her a confused look and Hermione sighed hanging her head. "It's okay, I didn't expect you too." Draco said softly. "You do have a few hickies however." Draco laughed; Hermione placed a hand to her neck and blushed deeply. "You do too." Hermione said with a playful smile. Draco laughed and held his arms out for Hermione; easily she scooted back into his arms and lay back against him, kissing him lightly. "I'm so lucky." She murmured. Draco laughed slightly and kissed her hair.

"I am." Draco purred. He brushed a loose strand of hair out of her face and kissed her softly. Hermione shivered and smiled softly to her boyfriend. "I love you." She said brightly.

"I love you too." Draco said with a smile. Hermione sat up to kiss Draco when there was a sudden pounding on the door. Draco scowled and Hermione looked to the door quizzically, Draco stood and went to answer it, revealing the sight of Harry, Ginny and Ron. "You'll never guess who's here!" Harry gasped as Hermione walked to Draco's side. "Who?" Hermione asked.

"Hem, hem." Ginny mimicked.

"First Krum now her." Hermione cried. Draco frowned and shifted uncomfortably.

"Why is she here?" Draco asked.

"Monitoring the school, or some stupid excuse." Ron replied.

"Why?" Hermione complained.

"Thank goodness McGonagall won't give in to her." Ginny said slightly relieved. There were murmurs of agreement and Draco stepped back, "Come in." He said lightly. The three hesitantly stepped in and looked around. "So, the pink frog is back. This should be interesting." Hermione smirked devilishly. "How did she get in McGonagall would never allow it."

"Probably invited herself." Harry grumbled. Hermione huffed and crossed her arms.

"The time she's around should be interesting." Hermione mused as the others nodded in agreement.
