Normal POV

When Hermione Appareted in Hogsmeade, Draco was nowhere to be found.

She was outside The Hogshead inn. She opened her eyes and looked at the snow white village. The sun was struggling to spread its light through the dark clouds.She looked around. McGonagall wasn't there. Instead, professor Flitwick was standing outside the Hogshead door, with an enormous scarf of Ravenclaw wrapped arround his tiny neck.

"Miss Granger! Always on time!So good to see you! Professor McGonagall told me to you would arrive today. She couldn't greet you in person-she had a meeting at the Ministry. So, miss Granger did you had a nice trip?" Flitwick said, trying to clear his glasses.

Hermione nodded and looked around the empty village."Yes. Professor Flitwick, had you seen Draco Malfoy today?" She asked, biting her lip.

Flitlwick sighted."Young Malfoy? Yes, I suppose it was five minutes before that I saw him. We talked a little. Nice boy. He has changed. Anyway, I suppose you could go now,miss Granger. " He nodded and walked away slowly.

Hermione made her way back at the castle. She had a terrible headache from the Apparation,but she didn't mind it.

The same three words were shattering her mind. How could only three words be so powerful?
How could they break in like that?

She crossed her arms and shivered from the cold. She lowered her head and closed her eyes. She needed her best friend.

She opened again her eyes and rushed to the Owlery.

☆

Two whole days passed from the day Draco said that he loved Hermione. Two days from the day Hermione had sent a letter ro Ginny. Two days since Draco had spoken to Hermione. Two days since they had seen each other.

Hermione had tried to find him-even if she didn't know what she was going tp say. But she couldn't find him.

And now, alone in Hogwarts, she was walking at the empty hallways.

Hermione's POV

I was confused. In the first time in my life, I was confused and I didn't know where to start. Didn't know what to say.

He said... he said he loved me. Draco Malfoy.
And I didn't know. I... I almost... I didn't know.

When he said it... it was like the world was lighted by a thousand of sunlights,like the earth stopped moving, like it went out of orbit. I felt my heart beating way faster, pumping blood, trying to get oxygen. My lungs were on fire. My head was going to explode. My heart...my heart didn't know which way to go.

I was losing myself. Just because I was torn into two different directions.

After all, Ginny was right. Love isn't some kind that you can open it and read it freely.

I looked outside the windows as I kept walking. The sun was falling behind the dark clouds. Some stars made their appearance, shining alone.

I drew a breath before heading to Hogsmeade.

☆

It started snowing. Crystal snowflakes were dancing all around, free-falling. I tried to set my mind in order, to find my peace of mind. But he couldn't get out of my thoughts.

I love you.

The worst thing was that I didn't know. I felt confused. More confused than ever. I... I thought that maybe I liked him.

Normal POV

Hermione was in the bookstore. She was reading the synopsis of Hogwarts And Its History; All the things you didn't know when a glimpse of blonde hair, outside the window, made her stop and look.

Draco Malfoy, was siting on a bench outside The Three Broomsticks, with a glass in his hand. He was looking at the ground, at the snowflakes that had just touched the ground. Hermione noticed that something was strange about him; he looked ill.

Without any hesitation, Hermione put back the book and run out of the bookstore, towards him.

☆

"Hey,Draco." She said, sitting next to him, in the bench. Hermione caught a smell of firewhiskey.

Draco didn't answer. He kept looking at the ground. It was like he didn't even notice her.

"Draco." She said sharply.

Draco didn't lift his head. He held tighter the glass, until his fingers were white from the pressure."What?"

Hermione stared at the glass and then back to him."What happened?"

"Nothing ha-" He tried to say but Hermione cut him off when she took the glass from him.

"Is that firewhiskey?"She asked, smelling it.

Draco looked at her like she shouted him "Give it to me!"

Hermione shook her head and poured the firewhiskey to the ground. Then she turned to Draco."You are drunk."

Draco narrowed his eyes. "You are a f-"

Hermione placed the glass behind her and turned to Draco. "Now, why are you drunk?"

In Draco's eyes, Hermione saw a flame dancing. "Because I wanted."

Hermione raised her eyebrows, daring him to say the truth.

It was snowing faster than before. The cold became sharper, crushing into Hermione's bones.

She had a terrible weight in her heart, watching him like this.

He laughed-and it sounded bitter in Hermione's ears. "Why do you even care-If you care at all?" He said with a cold tone.

"Draco, please, look at me." She plead. Draco slowly raised his stormy grey eyes on her. His eyes were different- darker and lighter at the same time.

Their eyes locked. Her brown at his grey.

"I shouldn't. But I do. I care for you." The words came out in whispers from Hermione's mouth.

She didn't believe what she would do next. She just did it. She didn't think twice about it. They maybe called her crazy. Insane. The Gryffindor princess lost her mind. But no; she didn't care.

She crushed her mouth on Draco's. His lips were cold against hers. She run her fingers through his blonde-white hair.

Draco wrapped his arms around her waistline.

It was like the whole world exploded. Like two pieces of the same heart finally collided. It wasn't like those kisses before. This one wasn't one for testing. It was the kind of kiss that they both meant it.

And there, under the stars, a new love was born
