Chapter Eight

Hermione

Hermione sighed and rolled over in her bed, opening her eyes. It was a Saturday morning thank god. But then she remembered what had happened last night. The moment that had happened between her and Malfoy. If you could call it a moment... Yes. Something definitely happened last night. Hermione shuddered as she remembered staring into his piercing grey eyes. At first all she could see was loathing, but then she'd seen something else, she didn't know what it was, but it scared her, hell, it scared her. And she remembered how, just for a moment, he'd stared back at her. Silence had never seemed so loud to her at that moment.

But he'd snapped out of it. The loathing was back in his eyes, and she remembered how, for the first time, they'd walked back to the dorm in silence, no bickering or snidey comments at all. Just this strange feeling of tension between them, forever growing stronger. She sat up, putting her head in her hands, resisting the urge to scream out in frustration. Why the hell did she have to feel like this? She was with Ron, the person she thought she'd loved since first year! Why couldn't she just settle down and be happy with him?

She got up, and walked over to the window, looking out at the grounds. A thick blanket of snow covered the area, and the castle looked beautiful. She watched as snow fell slow, but thick, covering the grounds in yet another layer. She remembered when she was little how she'd get so excited when it snowed, pretending she was in a different, magical land, she remembered the imaginary blond prince she'd been married too...

She sighed, a tear rolled down her cheek. She missed home. She missed being a child, being with her parents, just her and them. Everything was so much simpler. She hadn't known about magic, Hogwarts, Harry Potter. She hadn't known Ron Weasley either. Or Draco Malfoy...

She wiped the tear away, and got ready to go to breakfast. She had another date with Ron in Hogsmeade today. And she didn't feel excited like she should do. She felt guilty, scared even. When she got to the main hall, she found Harry, Ginny and Ron sat at their usual seats.

"Hey." Ron's face brightened when he saw her.
"Hey 'Mione!" He moved so she could sit next to him, and kissed her on the cheek.

"How was patrolling last night? Malfoy wasn't too bad was he?" Harry asked.

"It was okay. He was okay." She replied, looking down at her bowl of porridge.

"So you didn't have to hex him?" Ron asked.

"No. He was okay." She repeated.

"Good." Harry said.

"Are you alright 'Mione?" Ron asked.

"Yeah. I'm just tired. And thinking about our date today." She forced a smile and looked at him.

"Aww. Well so am I." He smiled, kissing her on the cheek again.

Hermione noticed Ginny staring at her, with a questioning look on her face. She smiled reassuringly at her, but Ginny didn't look fooled.

"I was meaning to ask you something actually Hermione." Harry said.

"Oh?"

"Well you haven't noticed Malfoy doing anything suspicious have you?"
"No! Why would I?" She said, quickly.

Harry looked taken aback. "Whoa. I was only asking."

"Sorry. But no, no I haven't I barely see him anyway. We just keep our distance."

"Okay. You sure you're alright? You've been acting weird a few days now."
"I'm fine. Seriously! Stop worrying about me!" She forced a laugh.

"Okay, okay."

Harry, Ron and Ginny all started nattering on about the last Quiddich match of the term next Saturday, and Hermione started thinking about last night again... his eyes, staring into hers. They were beautiful, enchanting. She looked up and met the eyes she'd spent all morning thinking about. He was staring at her too, and they both held the gaze... until he was knocked by Goyle, and he sneered at her, obviously snapping back to reality. She looked away quickly.

"'Mione!"

"Huh?" She jumped, knocking over her pumpkin juice. "Shit!"

Harry and Ron looked surprised. "It's okay Hermione, look." Harry got his wand out and muttered a spell, and suddenly the pumpkin juice was all gone.

"Sorry," Hermione blushed. "I guess I wasn't really with it."

"You're telling me!" Harry smiled.

She smiled back, then thought about what had just happened with Malfoy... he'd definitely been staring back at her then. She shook her head and stood up, saying. "Come on, Ron. Lets go on this date then."

Ron smiled, "I'm up for that. See you guys later."

Harry and Ginny said goodbye, and Hermione and Ron walked out. Hermione delibrately avoided looking at the Slytherin table.

"Thankyou for a lovely day." Hermione smiled at Ron as they stopped outside her dorm. It was the evening, and they'd just come back from Hogsmeade.

"It's no problem. I love spending time with you." Ron kissed her.

"I do too. Well, goodnight then." She said.

"Umm, well I was kinda thinking I could stay the night..." Ron said smiling.

"Ohh.. umm well I was thinking I'd have an early night tonight Ron. I'm really tired, and would like to go to bed now."

"Well that doesn't matter. You could have an early night with me..."

"Not tonight Ronald."

"Aww, come on, 'Mione. You know you want to."

"No! No Ron! How many times do I have to say no before you get it?" She snapped.

"I was only saying! God what the hell has gotten into you?"

"Nothing! I'm sure you'd react the same if you had someone pestering at you to stay the night when you'd already said no!"

"I wasn't being serious!"

"Yes, yes sure you weren't." Hermione snapped.

"You know what, I'm done here." Ron said angrily.

"Good. Just go."

"Oh I will." Ron turned and went back up the corridor.

"Well at least you got the message that time!" Hermione shouted up the corridor at him. She ran her hand through her hair and wiped her face. She hadn't realised she'd been crying until now.

Draco

Draco looked up as the portrait door opened.

"Well, well, look who it is. Isn't the Weaselbee joining us tonight?" He sneered.

"Shove off Malfoy. I'm not in the mood tonight." Granger said.

He got up from the sofa and walked over to her, all up for a fight, then stopped when he saw her face. She had tears running down her cheeks and her eyes were red.

"Granger? What's wrong?" The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. She looked shocked.

Then anger replaced the shock, as she said. "Whatever the hell you're playing at Malfoy, just stop. I am not up for this tonight."

He didn't answer, he just stared at her. She stared back. She looked frightened.

Then he opened his mouth. "I wasn't playing at anything, Granger. Simply asking what was wrong. Though I don't know the hell why I bothered." He turned to walk away, put felt something touched his arm. He turned around.

"Malfoy. Wait." She whispered. Tears were now falling fast down her face, and Malfoy didn't snatch his arm away like he usually would. They were close, dangerously close. He stared at her and again, he found himself lost in her eyes. Her beautiful, chocolate brown eyes. He moved another step closer to her. They were now so close he could hear her softly breathing. He could see the tear drops glistening on her eyelashes.

He closed his eyes, knowing what was coming but unable to stop himself. He felt paralysed as her soft lips crashed against his.
