Hermione and Draco had managed to sneak back to the rocks from Professor Dumbledore's office, without being seen. They used the time turner, and were back in the present. Hermione's concern now, was that Albus Dumbledore could still be alive. Should she tell anyone? She thought it at least that she owed Harry the truth. But how would he act? Would he try and make it his life goal to find him? She didn't want to upset his studies.

"What is Wrong?" Draco asked, pulling Hermione into a hug, she resting her forehead oh his chest. They were standing in the cold night, by the rocks, just back from the past.

"I can't believe he is alive?" She pulled away looking into his grey eyes. "We know, that one of the worlds greatest wizards could be still alive! What do we do with the information?"

He looked at her concern. Her eyes were swirling, as if she was thinking of all the possibilities, or shock. "It's going to be OK." He said reassuringly not knowing what else to say. It was a shock to him as well. "How about we sleep on it than think about how to handle it in the morning."

"Yeah..." she looked down for a second. "Yeah...and then I can tell Harry if I decide...that is if this isn't all a dream." She started to walk away.

"Hermione..." Draco called after her.

"What?" She turned around looking back at him.

"The castle is that way." He pointed the other direction from where she was walking.

"Right....I knew that." she started walking the correct way.

"Hermione..."

"Yes Draco?" she asked again, turning around.

"You didn't get your goodnight kiss yet."

She suddenly felt bubbly inside. Draco Malfoy was standing in the moonlight waiting to give her a midnight kiss. Sure Albus Dumbledore was alive...but so was Draco. The person she forgot was so sweet so handsome, so......so......Draco. "Oh did I now?" She raised her eyebrows.

He walked up to her, cupped her cheek with one hand, and then captured her lips with his.

"Draco?"

"Hmm?"

"When I said That Albus Dumbledore was one of the greatest wizards ever.....It was because you are the greatest wizard ever."

"Oh really now....better than Dumbledore? I don't know Hermione?"

"OK now your ego is as high as I was when I attempted to play in a quidditch game, but I don't care."

"Well you are the greatest, smartest, prettiest, kindest, witch ever."

"Your just saying that, because you have too."

"No I really mean it......You are the greatest, smartest, prettiest, kindest, stubbornest, yet still most beautiful, funniest, loveliest-"

"Ok...ok....I get it.

She placed another kiss on his lips. "Goodnight."

Hermione had woken up early. She decided to tell Harry this morning, right away, so he wouldn't blame her for keeping it a secret. She had been pacing in the common room for more than 20 minutes now. It wasn't exactly easy to tell someone their favorite role model is not actually dead.

"Hermione what are you doing up?" Ginny asked walking down the staircase. "Isn't it like 5 in the morning."

"Yes...I couldn't sleep, you should probably just go back to bed."
