chapter 8

When you're on a holiday

You can't find the words to say

All the things that come to you

And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun

We'll be playing and having fun

And it makes me feel so fine

I can't control my brain

-Island in the sun, Weezer

Hermione

When I got back to Harry and Ron I had barely been gone twelve minutes but they were persistent."What did he want?"

"Why did it take so long?"

"What did he say?"

"What did you say?"

"Where did you go?"

"Were you alone?"

"Guys," I snapped, "He was just being nice!" That earned me some stunned silence.
"But Malfoy isn't nice."
"How do you know? Have you ever had a conversation that wasn't one of you accusing the other of something ridiculous?"
"Are you defending Malfoy?" I was tired of this conversation.
"I'm going inside. Find me when you are ready to be decent and listen to me. And with that I stomped off.

They found me two hours later in the library, of course. "Are you ready to listen?" I asked without looking away from my book.

"Yes," they groaned in unison. I looked up at them and tried not to blush,

"Draco isn't as mean as I thought. He is sometimes but not all the time and if you give him the time of day then you will probably see that he is actually a decent guy. . .that has feelings too."

"But Hermione. . ." Ron whined but shut up when I glared pointedly at him.

"Fine," Harry said,

"But we aren't going to be his friend or anything. He is a Slytherin and he doesn't want to talk to us anyway."

"Okay, dont be his friend. . .but I might." They stared at me. I closed my book, "I'm going to lunch."

After that the weekend passed uneventfully. I heard Ron and Harry whispering a couple of times but ignored it. On Monday my classes went by smoothly. I glanced at Draco occasionally but he was always looking down. I took the Astronomy test and I think I did well on it. When classes were finally over I told Ron and Harry that I would be in the library, knowing that they wouldn't follow me there and hoping that Draco would.

And he did. I looked up from my book and he was sitting next to me. We were sitting in a corner because it would be such a scandal if anyone saw a Gryffindor and a Slytherin talking.

"Hey," He said quietly, almost a whisper.

"Hey," I grinned but quickly controlled myself.

"So what you you want to do. . .about us?" He looked at his lap and I could see him blushing.

"I. . .look, I like you but we can't really do anything. Not while we go to this school." He nodded and looked down at me. He leaned in and I could feel his breath.

"I want to kiss you," he spoke softly. My face went bright red and I couldn't look at him. "And I'm not going to let this school or my father or anything else stop me." His words were soft and quick. He was leaning even closer now, looming over me. I felt his hand, just barely, touching my cheek and jaw. I could feel the goosebumps appear on my skin and all the blood drained from my face. He was so close and I panicked. He was almost kissing me. His lips were almost touching mine.I put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him away (but not too far away).
