Third Person:

  Draco isn't quite sure what he is doing here. He was half conscious when he sent the letter to Hermione, but now that he's awake, he's not sure what to say.

   "I'm sorry." Is that it? He wonders if that's truly the reason. Deep down inside him, he feels something inside him reach for her, for Hermione. He takes a step forward, but steps back again, unsure.

   "For what?" Hermione very probably knows what, but he tells her anyway.

   "Everything I've ever done to you over the years. Called you things, or done things to you and Potter. And I'm sorry about Pansy. Her... reaction to certain words." He tries to phrase it carefully, to not let her in on his feelings, but parts of him are scared Pansy let her know.

  There are brief moments of silence, and then Hermione answers. "Is it true? What Pansy said?"

   His throat closes up. "What did she say?"

   "Well... quite a lot, actually. She said several things, then she slapped me, then wands were pulled, and I vaguely remember her saying that you love me." He turns to walk away from her silhouette caused by the moon. Anger pulls at him at the thought of Pansy hurting Hermione or Pansy even pulling a wand on Hermione, even though he's seen Hermione fight and she's good. Hermione wants an answer. She needs an answer. She can barely hear his answer when he does.

  "Yes."

A/N: So I'm not exactly sure if my style of writing has changed. if it has, I hope you guys like it. I've been reading This Star Won't Go Out, (not a Wattpad story) and if I started writing a bit more.... formal, I suppose, sorry. Haha. I actually recommend you read This Star Won't Go Out its a memoir, and I love it. I've cried about three or four times and I'm not even 200 pages in. Its about the girl that John Green dedicated The Fault In Our Stars to.
