Hermione's POV

"Ron, Harry come on we have to go!" I said. Harry took his Invisibility Cloak and hurried to the secret passageway which will get him to Honeydukes. Ron and I made our way down to Hogsmeade. At the beginning of our free weekends to Hogsmeade I was afraid if the alone time with Ron would be awkward, we were almost never alone without Harry. Especially, because since a few weeks it seemed that Ron wanted more than just friendship with me. It wasn't that way that he would make totally clear moves, that wasn't Ron's style, but I thought I realised a few small hints. The problem was that I absolutely had no feelings for Ron. Besides friendship of course. But to say the truth, it wasn't awkward. For one reason, we were only a few minutes alone together because we will meet Harry soon after our arrival at Hogsmeade. And for another after a time it wasn't that bad to have a few minutes with Ron.
But today I was very nervous. And that had nothing to do with Ron and being alone with him, but that I would meet Draco. He arranged a date with me near the Shrieking Shack. I was very excited. I couldn't even tell why. I would only met Draco, like I did a thousand times before. I shook my head. Don't be stupid Hermione, I told myself, and calm down. "You aren't even listening, are you?" I heart Ron's voice. He looked at me. I shrieked. "Ahm, no sorry." I answered and looked down. I really should listen to I him. "Doesn't matter", he said. "Wasn't important anyway. So what do we want to do in Hogsmeade?" On, risky topic. I was thinking about this response since Draco asked me out, hold on asked to meet me. How could I go to the Shrieking Shack without bringin Harry and Ron with me? "Ahm, you know, I wanted to go to the castle a bit earlier, I really need to go through my herbology notes one more time...." I said. Ron laughed. "Yeah, sure. You can do that." I frowned my forehead. "What is that supposed to mean?" I answered. "Nothing" Ron answered. "It's just that we asked ourselves when you will say that you will go  back earlier to the castle." He smiled apologising. I didn't know if I should be happy that I could go and meet Draco later or angry that Harry and Ron make a bit laugh of me. I decided to be happy that everything will be okay. I will have a nice afternoon with two of my best friends and then I will see my other beat friend. In my stomach was a warm prickling when I thought about the date with Draco. I smiled and walked the last metres with Ron into Hogsmeade.

Draco's POV

I was so nervous! I'm two hours I will meet Hermione near the Shrieking Shack.  I planned the whole afternoon with her. At four o'clock I waited at the meeting point. With ten minutes lateness she arrived with red cheeks and bright eyes. I hugged her. "Hey, what took you so long?" I asked. She looked at me with a sad look. "We..  I don't know. " I looked into her eyes. "What is it Hermione?" I asked. "You know... a few weeks ago you said to Harry that if you were him you would go searching for Sirius Black and you said that as if you'd know something we did not. And i think a just found out that information." Once she knew the words she would say her voice was much stronger. I closed my eyes. Not that story please. "What do you know about Harry and Black?" She asked directly. I sighted and opened my eyes. "The connection between Potter and Black is.. black was his father's best friend. And I think he is his godfather. When I ended I closed my eyes again. Why did I tell her that? And why did I have a bad feeling while saying this? "Yeah... He is his godfather " Hermione said. I opened my eyes with shock. What did she just say? Those rumours were true? Hermione nodded as if she could read my thoughts. "But.. why did you know that?" I asked. "I can't tell you that." She said. I nodded. One of these secrets the two of us had. "So... how's potter now?" I asked. She looked up. "Not good of course. He's with Ron at the Three Broomsticks now. I hope he will get better soon. But now we know why Black I after Harry... " I hugged her. "Everything will be alright, I swear. And potter will get better soon! He was going through much worse stuff than that." She looked up. "Since when do you have so much sympathy with Harry?" She asked with a little smile. "Ahh, you know ..." I answered. We both laughed . It was a nice afternoon after all. We told us stories from Gryffindor and slytherin and Hermione told me the story behind the Shrieking Shack. When she did I couldn't believe why such an amazing girl decided to be best friend with me. I couldn't believe my luck.
When it was time to say goodbye, we were not going back together to the castle so nobody would spot us, I hugged her again. And then suddenly without thinking, because she was so beautiful and so amazing and... I don't know it just for I kissed her. And she kissed me back. Until suddenly she pushed me away. She looked at me with a shocked look and then ran away in the direction of the castle. I stayed behind and smiled. Maybe it was wrong to kiss her, but I didn't deny it a second. It was the best loss in my life. Still smiling I walked back to the castle, too.

Hermione's POV

I had no idea how I arrived at the castle without an accident. I was paying no attention where I went. However, somehow I arrived at the Gryffindor common room. Harry and Ron were already there, doing the last homework. "Did you study so the time since you left us in Hogsmeade?" Ron asked surprised. "Ahh... yeah.." I answered distracted. "Oh how are you, Harry?" I asked. "I'm okay." He answered. "Everything's fine." I nodded. "That's good. A I'm a bit tired I will go to sleep now, okay? See you later. " And with these words I went to my dormitory. But I didn't go to sleep. I just laid in my bed and thought about the kiss. It came so surprisingly, I was so shocked. But ... It was also really beautiful, the kiss. And i had to admit I was thinking about to kiss draco before he did it. I had no idea where this frelimg came from, but I wanted to kiss him again. Was it possible that I fell in love with my best friend? A boy who came from a family who hated muggleborns? I groaned and threw my blanket over my head. Why was it getting so confusing?!
