Hermione POV

Ginny burst into my room first thing the next morning,eager to get all the details about my date with Draco last night. "How'd it go?" Ginny asks as she jumps onto my bed in excitement.

I laugh at her craziness as I smile and answer, "It was pretty damn perfect," I admit. Last night really had been perfect. Draco had been so sweet and the whole night had been romantic. I really can't think of anything that could have made it better.

"I knew Draco would pull it off," Ginny smiled. It was pretty clear thAt she was rooting for Draco and I to get together. I think it's because then she wouldn't be the only Gryffindor dating a Slytherin.

"You were right," I laugh and then go into detail about everything that happened last night. I really wanted to talk about it because it has been that perfect. I couldn't stop myself from smiling when I thought about last night. I'd come to the conclusion that I had been wrong about Draco, he did seem to really care about me. I was falling for him even harder with every second that passed.

"So when are you going out again?" Ginny asks in excitement.

"I'm not sure," I shrugged. We hadn't gotten that far last night.

"But you are going out again, aren't you?" Ginny asks her voice hopeful.

"Yes," I nod with a smile as I move around my room getting ready for the day.

"Good," Ginny smile before continuing. "So when are you too going to become official?" She asks, her eyes excited.

"I don't know," I laugh with a shrug. "We haven't talked about it," I add as I pull on my robes over my uniform. "When are you and Blaise becoming official?" I ask out of curiosity.

"We already are," Ginny answers surprising me.

"When did that happened?" I ask, clearly I missed something. Last time I'd heard, they were keeping everything secret.

"A while ago," Ginny answers with a shrug of her own.

I look at her in confusion, clearly I had missed something. "Do Harry and Ron know?" I ask. Surely I would have heard about it if they did, it would cause a huge scene.

"Not that I know of, but I'm sure they'll realize it sooner or later," Ginny shrugs from my bed again.

"You not worried about how they'll react?"I ask skeptically. I'm nervous about them finding out about Draco and I. They would definitely over react and try to talk me out of it. The biggest problem is I don't know if I'd listen to them or not. They've been my best friends for almost seven years and Draco's just come into the picture. I really hope I don't have to pick between all of them in the end because that would end up screwing everything up.

"No," Ginny answers with a shake of her red head. "I'm sure they'll be pissed, but they have to get over it. It's my life and I'll date whoever I bloody please," she answers in her usual feisty tone. She had a point, it was her life. I'm not sure I'd be able to say the same thing though if I was put in that position, that's why the relationship between Draco and I needed to stay a secret.

I nod at Ginny's reply before saying, "Come on, let's get some breakfast."

All throughout breakfast I kept sneaking peeks at the Slytherin table and a certain sexy blonde. Occasionally he'd meet my eyes and smile, no doubt remembering last night like I was. I was trying to figure out how I had been so wrong about Draco. He was turning out to be a great guy and I was craving him more and more. I was craving his touch, his kiss, his body, all of him.

As I was letting my eyes travel over his aristocratic features for the umpteenth time since he'd sat down, Ginny elbowed me making me jump. "If you keep staring at him Harry and Ron are going to catch on sooner than you'd like," Ginny whispers in my ear.

I know she's right. I tear my eyes away from Draco and try to concentrate on the conversation everyone is having. I manage to keep my eyes away from the Slytherin table for the rest of lunch even though it's extremely hard to do.

Later that day I am sitting in Potions class, waiting do for Slughorn to start class when my eyes catch Draco entering the room. Without even looking around makes his way over to my otherwise empty talk and takes a seat next to me. I get a warm happy feeling inside from his proximity. "Good morning," Draco greets me as he pulls his books out.

"Good morning," I smile, not worrying about what everyone else is thinking about Draco sitting next to me. Maybe if we start out as friends in public, it won't be a big deal if we go public about dating...assuming that's what we're doing.

"I really did have fun last night," I say quietly, looking at Draco out of the corner of my eye, not wanting to be too obvious.

Draco smiles as he turns to look at the front of the room where Slughorn is starting class. I try to pay attention throughout the class, it of course my mind is on the guy sitting next to me. I keep steal side glances at him, I can't stop myself.

Apparently Draco notices because halfway through class he leans over and whispers, "Like what you see," there is a teasing tone to his voice.

I feel myself blushing at being caught, but that doesn't stop me from answering, "Of course I do, who wouldn't?" I send him a small smirk, apparently I'm picking a few thinking up from him.

"Granger, Malfoy," Slughorn says catching my attention for the first time since class started. A feeling of being caught washes over. "You two are paired up," Slughorn says before continuing on. Apparently he hadn't caught us, but considering I hadn't been paying attention all class I was completely lost.

"What are we paired up for?" I turn to Draco and ask.

"Have you not been paying attention Miss Granger?" Draco asks with a teasing smirk.

I playfully hit his arm as I say, "Of course I haven't. I've been too busy fantasizing about you," I tease back surprising myself. Since when did I start bantering and flirting with Draco? It didn't really matter, it was actually pretty fun.

"Oh ready?" Draco raises his eyebrow and sends me his infamous smirk.

"Yes really," I roll my eyes. "Now what was Slughorn talking about?" I ask getting back to the point.

"Group project," Draco answers. "Meet in the library after dinner to get started?" He asks, his grey eyes meeting mine.

"In the back?" I ask, knowing exactly what will happen if we attempt to worm on our project back their on our own.

"Yes," Draco sends me a suggestive smirk.

"I'll see you then," I smiles and start to pack my bag as the bell rings. Tonight will be interesting, I actually have a legit reason to spend time with Draco and I am going to take full advantage of it. I have a feeling we aren't going to get much of our project done tonight though and surprisingly I'm okay with that because it means Draco's lips on mine. Suddenly I couldn't wait to work in our Potions project tonight.

Thanks for reading and I'd love to know what you think!
