Chapter 7-
Malfoy's eyes widened in surprise. What was Granger doing? Oh right, she was kissing him. Damn, she was a good kisser. He felt like he had taken drugs. He decided to make the most of the moment, gripped her waist, and pulled her close. He started kissing her back when he suddenly felt her pull away.
'Malfoy! I was just proving a point! You didn't have to KISS ME BACK!' said Hermione her voice rising with every word.
Malfoy looked at her awkwardly. Somehow, he didn't feel like teasing her. That moment with her had been too personal. However, so that he didn't come across as a wimp, he said, 'Hush, Granger. I was making the most of the moment,' But even that came out only half-heartedly and didn't sound like him at all.
Hermione looked at him in revulsion. Apparently, she couldn't see that he hadn't really meant it. She walked up to him and gave him a tight resounding slap. 'You are a sick smelly idiotic RAT!' she screamed.
Malfoy was stunned. 'Granger, I was just kidding,'
'I DON'T CARE!' she shrieked. 'HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? I can't believe you actually took ADVANTAGE of me,'
Oh no, Malfoy thought. She had taken what he had said in a very wrong way.
'That's not what I meant! I mean, it probably sounds like that but I didn't mean it! I just said that to shut you up,' explained Malfoy hurriedly. He wasn't even sure why he was explaining.
'Oh yeah, now you're making excuses! God, Malfoy, I could kill you right now. First, you make me move in with you. Second, you lock me up. Third, you kiss me back. Fourth…' Hermione ranted on.
Malfoy rolled his eyes and muttered inaudibly, 'Wish you would shut up,'
Hermione didn't hear him and continued, 'I was actually starting to think you were-'
Malfoy cut her short. He had grabbed her and kissed her to shut her up. He knew this was not the wisest thing to do but still he had taken the chance. At least, she had stopped talking.
Hermione was stunned. For a few seconds she didn't respond. When she regained the ability to think, she realized that Malfoy was a very good kisser. However, this didn't make up for what he had said and she was about to pull back, when she felt him hold her even tighter. She let him kiss her for one, two, three more minutes. By then she had become drowsy and wasn't in her senses and she could've gladly gone on but Malfoy pulled back. She opened her eyes and saw that Malfoy hadn't let go of her.
'This is not how we should be' he breathed. He was resting his forehead on hers.
'I know. I still hate you though,' whispered Hermione.
'Me too,' Malfoy gave her a quick grin and leaned in to kiss her again.
lllllllll
Later, when Malfoy was in his office, Narcissa Malfoy stormed in.
'Draco Malfoy! What is this that I'm hearing? You are dating that Granger girl? Is it true?' asked Narcissa in an enraged voice.
'Relax, mother. It's not what you think,' said Malfoy. He was about to tell her the truth when he realized that she won't be able to keep it to herself. His mother was the biggest gossip queen anyone could find.
'I don't care! How can you date that mudblood?' she asked furiously.
Malfoy's eyes flashed. 'What did you call her?'
'Oh Draco, I amsorry. I know we swore not to use that word again, but I am really mad. We've hated each other for years, so why this now?' asked Narcissa with regret.
'Because she is a very charming and intelligent woman.' Malfoy realized this explanation was very lame so he continued, 'I bumped into her at the ministry sometime ago and we started talking. Give her a chance, Mother,'
'I am notgoing to meet her. Moreover, if you wanted an intelligent and charming young lady then you could have told me. I would have found someone for you. Why, just the other day I met Pansy Parkinson. She had turned out to be such a beauty,' protested Narcissa.
'I don't give a damn about Pansy, mother. I am dating Hermione. Deal with it. Now I have a lot of work to do so can we talk later?' said Malfoy patiently.
Narcissa gave him one last glare and then left huffily.
Malfoy heaved a sigh of relief.

'Hello, Ron?' said Sally uncertainly. She had phoned him to give an answer to his proposal.
'Sally, hey! I am sorry about earlier. I remembered I had to go somewhere,' lied Ron.
'That's alright. I actually called you to tell you that I accept your proposal. I really really like you,' said Sally and inwardly suppressed a shudder.
Ron smiled real big. 'Really? That's great! Oh, I'd like to see you now but it's too late,'
Sally laughed and said, 'So I'll see you tomorrow?'
'Definitely. I miss you,' said Ron cheerfully and hung up.
Sally rolled her eyes and shouted a lot of curses to her boss in her mind.
Yes! I kept my promise! It's 11:54 pm right now over here! I know it's late but I had gone out. I'm sorry! Now, the next time I will update is when I reach forty-five reviews! I am also going to ask two-three questions at the end of each chapter and you can answer them in your reviews! :-D So here goes-
1). Do you prefer Ron or Harry?
2) Do you think it's better that Lily ended up with James rather than Severus?
Tata.
