Chapter 3

Draco was sitting in the Great Hall thinking about what Harry had told him...

"Draco, earlier you asked me about helping you with research. I think I could help, especially because I know the real reason why you want us to be friends." Harry expression worried Draco, 'how could he know? '
"What rel reason" he snapped.
" you like Hermione" Harry said it bluntly Draco's expression proved to Harry that he was right.
"What..." Draco stammered and began his defense but the words got trapped. He blurted the truth instead " yes, Potter you're right I do like Hermione. I may even love her..."
"But your father would never except it, you have to find some way of proving that she is a half-blood don't you." Draco nodded...

Draco lost his appetite and stood up from the table.

" where ya goin' Draco?" Crabbe asked him.

"To my dormitory and then back to the library I still have studying to do."

"Why are you and Potter suddenly friends?" Goyle asked always changing the subject.

"We have decided the last two years of school to be friends, so school will be less stress filled."

"Ok." Crabbe and Goyle will believe anything Draco thought as he approached the Gryffindor table.

"Harry when you're finished meet me in the library about what we discussed earlier." Harry nodded "I will meet up with you, in ten minutes."

Draco entered his Common Room, walked up to his dormitory, and slumped down to the floor. 'There was no way this was happening. Potter of all people knows my secret.'

Hermione and Harry walked by the library. Harry was shoving her forward to the doors. She peered in and saw Draco, all of her confidence gone.

"I... I c-can't d-do it. Harry I just can't tell him how I feel."

"Hermione tell him or I will." A panic over came over her.

"You wouldn't?!" One look at his serious expression and she knew he would.
She took a breathe and walked in.

"Draco," Hermione began trying not to sound nervous and look into his gorgeous eyes when he glanced up, "I have something to say to you."

" what is that, Granger?" He said standing up and walking to her side. 'This is it.' Hermione thought.

"This." She said once he was in front of her, she leaned up and placed her lips right on his. Draco caught by surprised kissed her back, but then pulled away.

"Do you want to know what I say to that?" He put one arm around her waist one behind her head, pulled her closer to him and kissed her with as much passion as he could muster. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck. And returned the kiss with the same amount of passion. Harry watched for behind a bookcase. 'And so starts the possible tragic story of Hermione and her Draco' he laughed to himself.

AN: Young love...
