Chapter 4

Hermione walked into the Common Room with a smile on her dry, semi-chapped lips.

"Why are you all smiley?" George asked her.

"Well, George if you look at her lips, her sorta wrinkled uniform, and the fact that she came from the library with any new books... Seems like little miss perfect or Prefect has been snogging!" Fred said as Hermione turned pink with anger and embarrassment.

"That is none of your business!" Hermione said then stormed off to her dormitory.

"What's with her?" Harry asked " I went to the owlery with Cho." He admitted sheepishly, it was true after he Draco and Hermione kicked him out of the library he ran into Cho on her way to the owlery.

"She is upset that we figured out she's been snogging." Fred told him.

"Hermione! Hermione Granger was snogging!" Ginny shouted. The twins nodded and she bolted up to Hermione's dormitory.

"Ginny... I can explain." Hermione said once she opened the door and seeing Ginny standing there.

"Ok, then explain! You told me that you don't snog! Unless you were really truly... IN LOVE!" Ginny's eyes got wide. "Who is he?"

"You won't believe me if I told you."

"Then it must be Draco Malfoy." Ginny said as sarcastically as possible.

Hermione bit her lip glanced at Ginny and nodded. Ginny's eyes widened again. "No way! You're in love with Malfoy!?"

Transfiguration was very interesting the week after. Draco sat closer to Hermione, shocking everyone, except for Harry. Rumors quickly spread through the class that they were dating.

"I have seen them together together in the hall."
"I've seen the cuddling in the library."
"They are sneaking around to snog."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "I think it is time we say something. These rumors are driving me nuts." She whispered to Draco.

"I agree, but how?"

"I don't know," Hermione sighed.

"I have an idea, meet me in room of requirements and I will explain."

"Draco, are you in here?" Hermione asked when she walked into the room of requirements.

"Yes, I am over here."

"What's your plan?"

"Homestead visit, we tell everyone. You tell Ron and Harry your meeting someone at Honeydukes. I will tell my friends the same. Then we give them a show, everyone will want to know who we are meeting."

"So we are going to put the rumors to rest by saying they are true? What do you mean by 'give them a show'?"

"Yes and this..." Draco leaned closer placed his lips on Hermione, but she quickly pulled away.

"No, let's do something else... That would give them even more talk."

"Ok... Then I will just kiss your forehead as we hug."

"That will work, but for now." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Now, let's go to the library before anyone gets even more suspicious."

"You're just saying that cause I pulled away earlier." He smiled and grabbed her hand.

"The Homestead visit is tomorrow. Hermione and Draco have told their friends that they have to meet someone at Honeydukes.

"Who are you meeting?" Ron kept pestering Hermione with this question.

"You will find out tomorrow." Hermione said and walked away.

"Harry, is she doing this to drive me insane?"

"You're the one who said you were never gonna tell her you love her." Ron sighed, Harry was right. 'I should've told her.' Ron thought back to the day he realized how much he loved her as he walked back to the common room.

'Today is the day, I am gonna tell Hermione that I like her.' 13 year old Ron thought. Things changed, when he ended up in the hospital wing looking at the petrified body of the girl he loved. Seeing Hermione petrified was the day Ron realized his love. "I love you Hermione." He whispered even though she couldn't hear him.

'Why didn't I say something when she became unpetrified? Why can't I say anything to her?' He thought when he entered his dormitory.
