The next morning, Hermione didn’t eat breakfast with the other prefects.
Draco was worried, so he checked Hermione’s room.
He was surprised not to see her inside.
“Hannah! Stewart! Have you seen Hermione?” Draco asked.
“Well, she said she had to attend to something. I bet she’s with Harry or Ron right now.” Hannah answered.
“Why Draco? You seem worried. So tell us, do you LIKE her?” Stewart squeaked, smirking.
“NO!!! I don’t like her-” Draco muttered.
“Then, what is she to you?” Hannah said.
“I-I-I love her…” Draco whispered.
“So you don’t like her, but you love her? That’s nice. At least Hermione will be happy to hear that.” Hannah said.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Draco said.
Hermione came inside and was blushing.
“H-Hermione??” Draco shouted.
He was frightened of what Hermione would say.
“Hi guys! D-Draco, did you mean what you said?” Hermione said.
“Of course I did Hermione.” Draco answered.
“Ayiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!” Hannah and Stewart shouted.
“Stop it!” Hermione and Draco shouted together without even knowing.
Hermione blushed and left.
“I’m going with Ginny today. Bye.” Hermione muttered.
“Bye!” Draco, Hannah, and Stewart said.
When Hermione was with Ginny, Draco was pacing back and forth in his room.
He was thinking about what he would do when he starts to court Hermione.
“Hmmm… maybe I should decorate her bedroom with rose petals leading outside to the dining table and we should have a date.” Draco said to himself.
“That’s right! That’s what I’ll do.” Draco said out loud.

When Hermione went back to her room, she saw rose petals surrounding her bed. She instantly knew that it was Draco’s doing.
She was shocked, happy, had the urge to cry… In short, she had mixed emotions about the romantic side of Draco.
She followed the rose petals to the kitchen.
There she found Draco waiting for her.
When she entered the kitchen, Draco was smiling at her and she smiled back.
Draco led Hermione to her seat.
After eating Draco took Hermione back to the living room.
He knelt before her and said: “Hermione Jean Granger-” Draco swallowed.
“-will you be m-m-my g-girl?” Draco continued nervously.
Hermione was shocked and couldn’t speak.
They both stayed silent for a while until…
“Well… If you can’t answer, it’s alright. I don’t expect you to say yes anyway.” Draco muttered.
“Actually, Draco, can you give me 1 more day to decide… I promise I’ll tell you tomorrow…” Hermione squeaked.
“Well, alright.” Draco said as he smiled sweetly to Hermione.
“I’ll lead you to your room.” Draco offered.
“Sure.” Hermione answered.

As Hermione was going inside her room, Draco took her hand and placed a ring on her finger.
“B-But Draco… I haven’t answered you yet.” Hermione said.
“That’s alright. I can wait. For the meantime, wear this ring. It’s only our sign of friendship. Wear it all the time, okay?” Draco said.
“Sure.” Hermione smiled sweetly at him as she spoke.
“I guess I should go to sleep now.” Hermione muttered.
“Alright. Good night.” Draco said.
Hermione closed the door of her room. Draco leaned on the door.
He took a deep breath and exhaled. “What a day!”
