I got quite a few people following this story after I posted the last chapter. So, I thought I'd go ahead and post this now. I hope everyone is still enjoying the story. Review and let me know what you guys are thinking.

As Hermione rolled over onto her side she was greeted by a peacefully sleeping Draco. She stayed there for a few moments watching him, his chest rising and falling rhythmically. She couldn't help but smile as she processed how even when sleeping Draco was a magnificent creature. His shiny blonde hair was radiating in the sunlight basking in from a nearby window.

As Draco opened his eyes his heart instantly skipped a beat. Hermione was smiling widely at him. A part of her face gleamed from the sunlight's glare. It was more than he had hoped for, hearing her say 'I love you' last night. He thought he'd have to explain his feelings. He thought he was just opening the door for her to begin to develop stronger feelings for him. He never thought she would say it back.

"Good morning sleepy." Hermione said still smiling.

"Morning babe." Draco responded as he leaned in and kissed her. Hermione was a bit taken back by his actions. Since her and Draco left the cabin they hadn't kissed once. They had been a little more than friendly but not intimate. Draco could see the surprised look on her face as he pulled away.

"What? Do I have morning breath?" He asked with a light hearted laugh.

"No." Hermione said shaking her head. She decided to push her confusion about the kissed to the side. "No, your breath is fine." She responded also letting out a light laugh. "What were you doing last night? I was waiting for you until I fell asleep."

"Uh, I was with Sarah."

"Really! That girl." Hermione was about to go on a rant but decided to hold it in. "What time did you get back. I don't remember you coming in."

"What?" Draco asked sitting up in the bed.

"I just wanted to know when you came in because I didn't hear you at all." Hermione responded a little surprised at his reaction to the question.

"Granger, we talked last night when I got back. You don't remember that?"

"No, I don't. I must have been really out of it. What did we talk about? I bet I said something stupid, didn't I?"

"Nothing anything stupider than what I said." Draco responded, getting out of the bed. He felt like his heart was broken into a million pieces.

"What do you mean?" She responded also standing up.

"Nothing…. How are you feeling?"

"You know, surprisingly health wise, I feel absolutely fine. I swear yesterday I felt like death. I don't know what happened."

"I'm just glad you feel better."

"Thanks. But listen, I was looking for you yesterday because I saw Harry and Sarah talking in the hallway yesterday. He's cheating on me with her."

"Oh, Granger… I'm sorry."

"And she told him that you and I had more than friendship feelings for each other, and she has him believing that we are having sex."

"Well that's not true. Have you talked to him?"

"We had a conversation about you before I found out about him and Sarah. I explained to him that I want to be with him, not you, and that what's going on with us is nothing more than a silly crush." Hermione said sitting back onto the edge of her bed. She wiped her hand under her eyes, as they had begun to water.

"So." Draco said trying to keep in composure after Hermione's statement. He could feel his hands begin to shake and he knew he should try and hide it, but he couldn't make himself move. "What are you going to do now?"

"Well, I think the only reason Harry is cheating on me with her is because she is giving him one thing I am not. Sex. So I figure if I want to get Sarah out of the picture I need to change that. But I, now more than ever, can't let him know I'm a virgin. Are you still willing to be my mentor?" By the time she finished her sentence tears were streaming down her face. She felt so betrayed by Harry. She had always trusted him. She loved him and she didn't understand why he didn't love her enough to wait for her to be ready. But she had already made up her mind that she wasn't going to lose Harry.

Draco stood completely still for a moment longer, and then turned away. He walked to the other side of the room, picked up a t-shirt off the floor and slipped it over his head.

"I need to go." He paused for a moment, standing in the doorway, not being able to look at her. "And yeah, I'll still help." And with that he was gone.
