HEY! We are now in year five! The story is starting in the summer, a week after school got out.

I was sitting in my room reading when my dad knocked on my door. "Come in." I called as I closed the book. He came in a sat on the edge of my bed. "Tiffany, why do you have your window open?" I shrugged. "It feels good outside and I'm waiting for a letter." My dad nodded. He was a simple man, my dad. He had black hair and my blue eyes.

"From who?" I smiled. "Draco Malfoy." My father smiled. "Well, I would like you to be ready in an hour dressed in something fancy. We were invited over for dinner to one of my co-worker's homes." I stood as he started to leave the room. "Dad, who is it?" My dad smiled. "It's a surprise." He left the room.

I shrugged and went to shower. I went to my closet and chose an outfit. I finally picked to wear some black tights, a cream sweater dress that had short sleeves and fell a few inches above my knees. It had a black belt. I also wore black flats. I brushed my brown hair into a high ponytail and put on a black head band. I walked down stairs and found my father waiting in his usual black attire.

We apperated and I found myself in front of a large house. It was three stories high, and had tall windows with walls of black. It had a big gate out front which we stood in front of. "Dad, where are we?" I looked down from the house I admired and turned to my dad. He had a glint in his eye's I couldn't place. "Welcome, Tiffany, to Malfoy Manor."

I gasped. The gate swung open and we walked to the front door. A house elf opened it and we stepped inside. The room we were in had a huge fire place and had windows lining one wall. "Ah, Lucius. Narcissa." I turned to see my father embracing a man and woman. I recognized the man as Draco's father. I guessed that the woman was his mother.

The woman looked at me. "Thomas, who is this young lady?" My father pulled me over and introduced me. "This is my daughter, Tiffany." She shook my hand. "Hello, Tiffany. I'm Narcissa Malfoy." The man then took my hand. "I am Lucius Malfoy. We have a son, Draco. Do you know him?"

I nodded and smiled. "Yes. Draco is a very good friend of mine. He's in my year at Hogwarts. Does he know I'm coming?" Narcissa shook her head. "No, dear. We wanted to surprise him. He never stops talking about you sometimes." I blushed as she asked more questions. "What house are you in?" We had walked into a parlor. I looked at the clock. 5:45. I turned back to the lady. "I'm in Gryffindor, ma'am." She nodded.

Lucius and my father had sat in two armchairs and Narcissa and I had occupied a couch. "What is your favorite class?" I looked down into my lap for a moment. "I don't know. I really enjoy Potions and Defense Against the Dark Art." She nodded. "And your grades?" I smiled wider. "I make outstandings on almost everything. I was the one of the only ones in my house to get an outstanding in Divination."

She went on after congratulating me. "How well do you know Draco?" I blushed. "I know him very well. My friends don't get along with him very well, but I find him quite nice and friendly at times." She nodded again. I looked around the room. "You have a lovely house, Mrs. Malfoy." She looked around as well. "Thank you, dear." I looked towards a flight of stairs. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but where's Draco?"

Mrs. Malfoy said he was in his room and sent an elf to go get him. "So, Tiffany, how old are you?" I smiled. "I turn fifteen June 16." The woman gasped a little. "Why, that's a week away." That was true. It was Friday and the next one would be my birthday. I nodded. "Yes, ma'am. I'm very much looking forward to it."

My father and Mr. Malfoy pulled me into their conversation. "Mom, what do you need? Is dinner ready?" I heard Draco but decided not to turn around and listened to my father. I hear Narcissa talk. "Almost, love. We have guest though. Thomas Finnegan and his daughter." My father and Mr. Malfoy stood and I stood slowly and turned around.

Draco seemed surprised to see me. I smiled. My father stepped forward and shook his hand. "Hello. I'm Thomas Finnegan." I walked forward and hugged Draco. It seemed to surprise him at first but soon he hugged me back. I pulled away. "Hello, Draco. How have you been?"

Draco and I struck up a conversation while our parents started to talk. "I'm good Tiffany. I just sent Aaron back with a letter. And how are you getting along." I sighed a little. "I'm fine." We talked a little longer until the adults shuffled us into the dining room. I sat across of Draco, and beside's his mother. My father and his were on the ends.

I ate in silence.

Soon Mr. Malfoy spoke. "Draco, why don't you show Tiffany around. Your mother and I have things to discuss with Mr. Finnegan." Draco got up and I did too. I followed him and as soon as we were out of ear shot he stopped. "Um, what do you want to see?" I shrugged. "It's your house. What do you think I'll like about it?"

He smiled. "Follow me." I followed him up the stairs and to a door. "Ready?" I nodded. Draco opened the door. I nearly collapsed at the sight. It was a huge library. It looked like a tiny version of Hogwarts. I walked in. "Bloody hell," I whispered as I turned to look. Draco laughed at my words. "We even have some Muggle books." I spun around and gave him an odd look. "Can I see them?"

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to a corner. It was a tall book shelf. "Is it enchanted?" Draco nodded. The books looked just like ours. "Draco, can I touch one?" Draco laughed and took one down from a shelf right above my head. He held it out to me. "Here, you can read it. That one's my favorite. And when you get done you can just send it back." I carefully took it from his hands and read the title. "Great Expectations?" I looked at Draco for conformation. Draco nodded.

I smile. "It looks wonderful. But I hope you know that I'll finish this in a few days. Right?" He smiles. "Then I'll just send you another." I put the book in my bag. "Thank you, Draco." He nodded. "You're Welcome." We were just staring at each other. He was leaning in and so was I. Our lips barley touched. Then there was a knock on the door. He and I sprung apart. A house elf appeared.

"Master Draco, your parents would like to see you." Draco nods. "Must be time for you to go." We walk downstairs awkwardly and I say goodbye to the Malfoys and we apperated.

I told my dad goodnight and went upstairs. I changed out of my tights and all and soon was in my pajamas and was sitting in my bed. I started to read the book. I couldn't concentrate. I had kissed Draco Malfoy. I marked my place and went to my desk.

Hermione-

Can you keep a secret? My father and I had dinner with the Malfoys. Afterwards, Draco was showing me around. We went to the library and we were talking…then we kissed. DON'T tell anyone.

-Tiffany
