Hermione walked into the Great Hall and over to Ginny.
"Whoa Hermione! Great job on decorations!"
"Malfoy did some to."
"Well yeah but lets pretend he didn't." Ginny said smiling at
Hermione.
Draco walked into the Great Hall only to have Pansy come running
toward him. Before she could cling to him for the night, he raised his
hand. "Stop. You're not clinging to me all night. Just go dance with
yourself or something."
"But Draco-" Draco looked at her and she shut up and backed off.
Draco turned and saw Hermione.
'Wow. She's really hot.' Draco sat at a table and people
watched. Draco saw Hermione dance with Harry a couple of times. He
wanted so badly to be in Harry's place and little did he know Hermione
wished the same thing. Sure Harry was her friend but she only liked him
as a friend. More like a brother. But Draco, Hermione really liked him.
Of course she would never tell anyone else this. Draco finally got tired
and went back up to the dorm. Hermione soon after.
The next morning Draco awoke and went to the common room.
Hermione was already up and working on her essay for Snape that was due
right after breakfast. Draco stood there silently watching her until-
'I'm going to tell her today. I going to tell her how I feel
about her. Today right after Defense class.'
"I'm tired of all these stupid essays!" Harry stormed after
Transfiguration class.
"Hear, hear! Me too mate! Just because it's N.E.W.T.S dosen't
mean we need more essays!" Ron agreed furiously.
"Guys, just do the frekin' essays and SHUT UP!" Ginny
practically yelled.
"Hey Hermione. What's wrong. You're really quiet lately." Harry
said ignoring Ginny.
"Just tired I guess." She replied with a smile.
"Are you sure? Has Malfoy done something to you? Do you need to
go to the hospital wing? Are-" Harry started again.
"Harry, lets not play 20 questions please. I'm fine. All this
homework and my Head Girl stuff...it's just tiring."
"You're sure Malfoy's not doing anything to you?" Harry said
pressing his luck.
"He is, but I can't tell you. He dosen't know what he's doing.
I'll tell you when the time is right." Hermione turned and headed for
Defense class, leaving the others standing there not knowing what to do.
"Today we will study the Potronus. Which I'm sure some of you
already know, correct Mr. Potter?" Snape looked at Harry and Harry
replied with a salute.
"Yes sir, Professor Snape, sir!" Everyone laughed.
"Five points from Gryffindor for being a smart eleck. Ha ha.
Who's laughing now?"
"You are, Professor." Harry said calmly but with a smile.
"Another five points. If it happens again it'll be detention for
you, Potter." Harry replied, yet again, with a salute. "Detention!
Tonight after dinner and again tomorrow, same time." The rest of the
period went by and Harry became the "Prize Potronus". The bell rang and
Harry, Ron, and Hermione started packing up. Draco took a deep breath
and walked up to Hermione.
"I need to talk to you. It's about Head responsibilites." Draco
added looking at Harry and Ron.
"Oh. Okay. Harry, Ron, I'll catch up with you later." Hermione
said. Harry and Ron were reluctant to leave but Hermione practically
shoved them out the door. "You guys can't hear it. The Heads are the
only ones allowed to know. GO!" Turning back to Draco she said, "Okay,
now what about Head responsibilities?"
"Actually, there isn't anything." Draco said and Hermione looked
at him confused. "I just have to tell you because I can't stand it
anymore. I found out reason for me to change who I used to be. A reason
to start over new. Well, the reason is you. I found out reason to show a
side of me you didn't know. And the reason is you. I guess what I'm
trying to say is... I love you Hermione." Draco finished and Hermione
had tears in her eyes.
"I love you too Draco." Hermione got up and hugged Draco. "I
have since the begining of the year but I didn't know how to tell you."
"Same here. I guess I did something right." Hermione giggled.
"Yeah you did something right. Come on." Hermione took Draco's
hand and intertwined it with hers. They walked out of the room to find
Harry and Ron standing there, mouths open, gawking at them. "You were
listening?! I told you Heads business was on;y for the Heads to know!"
"That wasn't Head business Hermione!" Harry said astonished. Ron
was stil standing there with his mouth open.
"You still listened though!"
"We wanted to make sure Malfoy didn't do anything to you!" Ron
said.
"Well, Draco, didn't do anything to me! You shouldn't be
snooping in my business anyway!" Hermione was yelling now.
"WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" Harry and Ron said at the same
time.
"Well I'm fine!" Draco was standing there in awe. He had never
seen Hermione like this before. Hermione looked at him and started
giggling at the look on his face.
Just then Ginny came running up to them. "What's going on? O
well, tell me later, come see what's happened!"
