She's only ever been in one other relationship and that was with Ron.
But she liked Draco. She liked him so much it hurt. She didn't know it was possible to like someone this much.
She took a deep breath and opened her messages to text Draco.
Hermione : Hey!
Draco : Hey mione!
Hermione : So...i was wondering if you wanted to meet up somewhere, I have something to tell you
Draco : Okay, I'll pick you up in five
Hermione : Great!

Hermione quickly got up to change. If she was going to tell Draco she liked him, she wanted to at least look good doing it. Or walking away from him after she got rejected.

She grabbed her purse and waited patiently outside for Draco.
His car pulled up right in front of her, the window rolled down and him smirking.
"Get in, loser. We're going shopping." Draco said.
Hermione laughed and ran to the other side to get in the car.
"You did not quote Mean Girls." Hermione said, still laughing.
"You bet your ass I did. All for you, Granger. Because you made me watch that movie."
Hermione flushed. "And you loved every minute of it."
Draco looked at her with a smile. "Precisely."
He pulled into the parking lot of the cafe and they walked in.
"I'll get you something to drink, okay?" Draco said.
Hermione nodded and quickly texted Luna, who reassured her.
Draco came back with hot chocolate for both of them and sat down.
"So, 'Mione, what do you want to tell me?"
"Uh, well," Hermione stuttered.
Draco nodded, encouraging her to go on.
Hermione thought of Luna's reassuring text and mustered the confidence and courage to tell Draco how she felt.
"Draco, I like you. A lot. I like you so much that it hurts. Every time I think about you, I can never stop smiling. I cherish absolutely every moment we have together. I love hanging out with you and I love having you as my best friend. Just don't tell Harry that," Hermione stopped as Draco chuckled at that. "But I want us to be more than friends. Because Draco Malfoy, I'm in love with you."
Draco blushed and leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Hermione's lips.
"Granger, I'm in love with you, too."
Hermione smiled and kissed Draco.
It felt like millions of fireworks were going off.
Kissing him felt like home. It felt normal. And it felt comforting.
Hermione knew something for sure. She was never going to let Draco Malfoy go.
