I own nothing Harry Potter!

Here's the next update. It's longer than I expected, so I guess that's good. Thanks for all the feedback!

Enjoy!

Hermione POV

After classes I was walking down the corridor with Harry and Ron. Ron wasn't talking to me, so I just hung back and kept to myself. It was much easier than getting into it with him again. When we reached the main steps I said, "Hey guys, I'll see you later." They were going up and I was going down to the dungeons.

"Where are you going?" Ron said, his voice hard. It was the first time he'd even acknowledged my presence today days.

"Potions room," I answer, not bothering to elaborate. He was smart enough to figure out I was meeting Draco.

Ron just gave me a disgusted look and started to head up the steps. "See you later Hermione," Harry waved over he shoulder as he followed Ron. I just rolled my eyes and made my way down the steps. Ron was being a big baby.

I was near the dungeons when a voice called out from behind me, "Hey Hermione, wait up."

I stopped and turned around to find Blaise jogging over to me. I smiled as he approached. "Hey what's up?"

"I hear you made Draco very happy during class this morning," Blaise says with a smirk. I feel my cheeks heating up, was it that obvious that I'd taken care of Draco's not so little problem during class this morning?

"He told you?" I ask in surprise. I didn't really think Draco was the kind to kiss and tell, he liked being more mysterious and leaving speculation surrounding him.

"He didn't say a word, but I've known Draco long enough to know when he's gotten off," Blaise answers with a knowing smirk. "And that huge smile on his face when he came back into class was enough to tell me everything."

"I can neither confirm or deny what happened this morning," I answer with a smile, if Draco hasn't told Blaise I am not going to. He can keep thinking what he wants, he's got it right anyway.

Blaise laughs at me and throws an arm around my shoulders as we start to walk towards the Potions rooms. "I'll drop the subject," he laughs. "But would you mind dropping some hints to Ginny that I'd really enjoy if she was up for that," he says in a teasing voice.

"You mean Ginny hasn't done that yet?" I pause and look over at him. I would have thought giving head in the hallway while class was going on was more up Ginny's ally than mine, Draco made me do crazy things though.

"Nope," Blaise answers.

"I'll see what I can do," I answer with a roll of my eyes as I shrug off his arm.

"That's all I ask," Blaise laughs. "Draco should be in there," he gestures to the classroom right down the hall.

"Thanks," I smile at Blaise. I am starting to wonder why Blaise and I never got along before, he really was a great guy and very funny. I understood what Ginny saw in him.

"See you later Granger," Blaise waves as he starts to head back down the corridor the way we'd come. "And don't forget what we talked about," he calls over his shoulder.

"I'll work on it," I laugh as he disappears. I open the door to the classroom and walk in, finding Draco setting up all of the things we'd need on one of the tables. His back was to me and he didn't seem to realize that I'd entered the room. Instead of announcing my presence I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head against his back. "Hey stranger," I smile into his robes.

"Long time no see," Draco smiles as he turns in my arms to face me. I look up into his grey eyes and images of earlier pop into my head.

"No more not so little problems in the middle of class?" I ask as I pull away and drop my bag on the table next to us.

"No, you took pretty damn good care of my problem earlier," Draco smirks down at me, clearly remembering me on my knees in front of him in the middle of the corridor.

"You're welcome," I smirk up at him, loving teasing him.

"I'll have to repay you sometime," he answers, his low voice sending shocks through my body and to the place he is thinking of taking care of. I need to get a hold of myself or we're not going to get this potion started. Draco's made his way closer to me so he's only inches from me. It takes all of my self-control not to stand on my tip toes and capture his lips.

"I'll hold you too that," I smile as I take a step back and turn to the potion. "Why don't we get started?" I suggest and he nods. I know he's thinking the same thing as me. We'd both prefer to be spending time in his room instead of working on this potion, but we have to get this done with.

Over the next half hour we prepare the potion and get it started then we come to a point where we have to let the potion simmer. "Any ideas how to kill half an hour?" I ask Draco as we reach a breaking point.

"I have a few ideas," Draco answers, taking a step closer to me and pulling me into him. I stand on my tip toes and kiss him quickly before pulling away and stepping back. Draco lets me go.

"Any that we should be doing in the Potions room?" I ask with a teasing smile. I know exactly what's on his mind because it's on mine too, but we should stick to purely business in the Potions classroom or at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself of.

I hop up onto the table behind me so I'm sitting on it as Draco answers, "No."

"Hmm…" I think out loud as Draco leans against the desk across from me. "What about twenty-questions?" I ask. I know it probably sounds stupid, but it may give us a chance to get to know each other a little better than we currently do.

"Sure," Draco nods after a minute. "You can go first," he says, his grey eyes on mine.

"Okay," I nod before asking. "What's your favorite memory as a child?"

"Going to Diagon Alley I believe," Draco answers as he stares off into space. "We'd go there every now and then and it was always exciting," he shrugs. "First kiss?" Draco asks me, his grey eyes sparkling.

"I was eight and it was a guy I used to go to school with," I shrug. My first kiss had been nothing special, we were curious so we gave it a try. We go on to ask more questions, occasionally checking on the potion, before we got to the interesting questions.

It was Draco's turn and he looked across the short distance between us at me and asked, "What's the deal with you and Weasley?"

"What do you mean?" I ask in confusion. "We're friends, but you already knew that."

"Do you like him? Have you guys snogged? Gone farther?" Draco cut to the chase. The way he was asking made me feel like this was something that had been on his mind for a while.

"You're kidding right?" I ask. "Ron and I are just friends," I answer. "Nothing more."

"That's all?" Draco asks skeptically.

"Fine," I roll my eyes and tell him all he wanted to know. "I used to like him way back in third year, that didn't last long. We snogged once when we were drunk last year after we won the Quidditch cup," I answer. "There's nothing more to it. We will never be more than friends, trust me," I laugh. There is no way that Ron and I would ever have a relationship more than friendship.

"Try telling Weasley that," Draco laughs.

"What are you talking about?" I ask, completely lost.

"You don't know, do you?" Draco asks, a small smirk pulling on his gorgeous lips.

"Know what?" I ask, searching his face for the answer.

"Weasley likes you," Draco answers as if it's obvious and maybe it is to everyone but me.

"He does?" I ask, this is completely news to me. That would explain a lot though.

"Yeah," Draco nods with a smile. "He does."

"Huh," I say and then shake the thoughts out of my head. "How many girlfriends have you had?" I ask Draco, getting back to the game and saving this new tidbit of information to dwell on later.

"Like actually dating girlfriends?" Draco clarifies.

"Yes," I answer, curious as to what the answer is.

"You're the closest thing I've ever had to a girlfriend," Draco answers. "I'm not sure what we are considered," he answers with a shrug.

My heart skips a beat at the thought of being his only 'girlfriend' or whatever we were. "What do you want to be?" I ask.

"Whatever you want to be," Draco answers, as he rubs the back of his neck absently. I can tell that he means it by the way his eyes are searching my face.

"I'll be whatever you want to be," I smile shyly at him and chew on my bottom lip as I wait, hoping he'll ask me to be his girlfriend.

Draco just nods and I expect him to continue on the topic, but he just goes on with the game. "How many guys have you been with?" Draco asks, my heart drops after the expectation I'd had.

I chew on my lip as I reply, "Three."

"Who?" Draco asks, his grey eyes meeting mine. I can tell he's trying to hide it but he's jealous. He doesn't like the thought of me being with other guys just like I don't like the thought of him being with other girls.

"That's another question and it's my turn," I answer, still slightly pissed that he just went back to the game like we weren't having a small moment.

"You'll get two turns in a row," Draco waves my complaint off. "Who?" he asks again.

I roll my eyes at his stubbornness and answer, "One guy I grew up with during summer break, Victor Krum, and you," I answer with a shrug.

Draco just nods as he contemplates my answer. "Who was the best?" he asks with a wicked smile.

"That's three questions," I complain, but let it go. "I won't count it though because I'm sure you already know the answer." Obviously it's him and I can tell he knows it by the smile on his lips.

"Your turn," Draco prompts me to continue. I know I get two questions and I need to use them wisely because they are my last two. Draco still has one left.

"How many girls have you been with?" I ask, really not wanting to know the answer but needing to.

Draco hesitates for a minute as he searches my face. "You don't want to know," he says, his face serious.

"How many Draco?" I ask, needing to have this out in the open. I know Draco's a player and he always has been. I just need to know what I'm up against.

"Too many to count," Draco answers as he runs a hand through his hair. "Let's just say I've gotten around, but you already know that," his grey eyes are dark. "There's only one that meant anything though," he sends me a small reassuring smile.

I smile back as I bite my lip. I know he's talking about me and honestly that's all that matters. It doesn't matter how many girls he's been with before as long as he's with me now.

"You have one last question, go ahead," Draco prompts me after I don't react right away.

"What's the deal with you and Pansy?" I ask, I need to know if she's a threat or not.

Draco rolls his eyes and lets out a short laugh. "We've hooked up, but she means absolutely nothing. She's just that person who you go to after a night out and you don't feel like finding someone else. She's a bitch to be honest with you," Draco answers and I can't help but smile because I like the thought of Pansy meaning less to nothing to Draco.

I nod in approval as I say, "You've got one last question, use it wisely."

"I will," Draco smiles as he pushes off the table he's been leaning against and comes to stand between my legs. The close proximity has my body reacting in ways it shouldn't be. "Hermione Granger," Draco smiles at me, his lips inches from mine and his grey eyes on my brown ones. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he asks the question I'd been waiting for.

My face breaks out into a smile as I answer, "Yes." I pull his lips to mine and kiss him hard. This little game of twenty questions turned out pretty damn well in my opinion.

Draco and I only pull apart when we hear voices in the corridor outside. I push Draco away and he gives me one last peck before he moves away and heads to check on the potion. I can't hide the smile on my face as the door bursts open and in walks none other than Ron. "Hey Ron, what's up?" I ask with a smile. I knew he'd hoped to catch us in a compromising position, and he almost did, but I find it funny that he's checking in on us. Maybe what Draco said earlier is right, that would explain why he has such a big issue with me and Draco spending time alone together.

Ron just stands there in the doorway, looking back and forth between Draco and I. "What are you doing?" he asks, his voice cold.

"Working on our Potions project," I answer and Draco smartly keeps to the potion and doesn't acknowledge Ron.

"Oh," Ron says, looking like a caged animal. Harry walks into the room behind him. "Ron, I told you to leave them alone," he is saying.

"Ron, I think we need to talk," I say as I slide off the table and walk over to him. "Alone," I gesture to the hallway and grab his arm pulling him after me. I hope that Harry and Draco can remain civil alone in the room together.

"What's your problem Ron?" I ask when we're out in the corridor.

"Are you and Malfoy dating?" he asks, his voice disgusted at the idea.

"What if we are?" I ask, not actually answering the question.

"He's a dick," Ron answers as if that explains everything.

"We went over this last night Ron. He is not, he is a nice guy and if I am dating him, you'll just have to deal with that," I say, not allowing my temper to rise. I know I need to stay calm and rational to get through to Ron that I don't care what he thinks.

"So you are dating him," Ron says, his face red.

"If I am, it's none of your business. I make my own decisions and if I choose to be with Draco, you're going to have to deal with that," I say, making it clear that Ron really shouldn't fight this.

"I'm out of here," Ron mutters as he turns and stalks down the hallway. I'm not sure if he thinks I am dating Draco or not. I never really confirmed or denied anything. I shake my head and go back into the classroom to find Harry and Draco talking like normal people.

"Hey," I say as I head over to where the two of them are standing. "Ron left," I say with a shrug as I stand next to Draco who wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer. Harry's eyes go to Draco's arm, but he doesn't mention it.

"Does he know?" Harry asks.

"I'm not sure, I never actually told him, but he suspects," I answer with a shrug. I'll deal with Ron later.

Harry nods and says, "I should go find him," as he leaves the room.

Soon it's just Draco and me again. I turn to him and stand up on my tip toes and kiss him slowly before pulling away and getting back to finishing the potion.

I was currently buzzing, I was ecstatic. Draco was my boyfriend and it felt so good to be able to actually say that. I would worry about Ron later, right now I was going to let myself be happy without any worries.

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