Draco and I walked straight to Defense Against the Dark Arts together and straight back to the Great Hall meeting in between classes. He invited me to come sit with him at his table but thought that I might get the death glare from Pansy so we switched that situation for another day.
My friends had calmed down from earlier that day and they actually talked to me (not about the Malfoy thing. But just talked.) I was too busy thinking about Malfoy, that I actually didn't listen to anything that my friends were saying. Until they said Hogsmeade of course
"You guys planning on going to Hogsmeade?"Luna asked in he angelic voice she always has
"Yeah next Tuesday. Do you want to come Luna? Hermione?"
"Sure." Luna answered.
"Um.....Yeah. Sure....uh..would you guys mind if.....Malfoy came with us?" asking that question was going into dangerous territory but I said it before I could think about it.
"You mean the mean little git who will probably put arsenic into our ButterBeer? No." Ron answered without consulting anyone.
"Ronald give him a chance. I'm not saying you have to be his friend, I'm saying to be my friend and be at least civil. Please?" I begged untill I was practically on my knees.
Harry and Neville were starting to laugh at me because it looked like I was kneeling before him like he was some great king or something.
"Fine". Ron agreed begrudgingly and finished eating while I had a huge smile plastered onto my face.
Draco looked over at my table a couple of times with a confused look on why I was so happy all of the sudden. I just shook the look away and began eating my lunch.

Third Person POV:

Malfoy and Granger walked straight to their common room together after lunch and Hermione was still so excited about Hogsmeade.
"Granger, love, why are you acting so childishly happy?" he asked his wonderful accent if his.
When he said love the butterflies grew and grew until he ended the sentence.
"Well everyone is going to go to Hogsmeade and I asked them if you could join." Hermione answered.
"And they yelled in your face didn't they?"
"No they said fine! I'm so excited!" I singsonged.
"Great! I'm really excited! Thank you for inviting me along."He exclaimed.
They arrived at their common room and said the password "Gringotts"
The portrait of Remus Lupin opened and they walked inside. Hermione walked straight up to her room to go get her pajamas on but for Draco, he just laid on the black couch.
Hermione came out of her room wearing a maroon colored tank top that didn't cover her stomach all of the way and pair of long Gryffindor guys pants.
Draco couldn't help but stare at her.
"Bloody Hell"he thought to himself.
"What's the matter?" she asked with a worried look.
"Oh nothing. Nothing. At. All." He replied happily.
Hermione moved his feet off of the couch and sat next to him.
"Hermione you have really pretty eyes. You know that right?"
She gasped at what he just said, but not at the eyes part but he had made a mistake.
"You just called me Hermione!"
"Oh. I guess I slipped up." Draco answered. "But seriously, your eyes."
"They're just brown. Not anything special. Like me. Not anything really life changing." She said somberly.
"No. Don't you ever think that. I may have given you crap in the past about it but you know why I did it,because I was jealous and thought that it was your guys' fault. I'm so sorry Hermione and I don't want you to ever think that again. Nev-" he was cut off by Hermione pressing her lips to his.
She never thought that she would do this, but she enjoyed it very much so. She never wanted to leave from his and he didn't either.
Unfortunately having to get air, she stopped and they pulled a part.
"Draco, I don't know what is about you, but I get butterflies in my stomach every time I'm around you. But they just flew away." Hermione exclaimed.
"Love, I have liked you ever since third year when you punched me, but never got to tell you because of the whole crap from my father. I like you Granger, a lot!"
And with that they kissed again then laid down next to each other, quickly falling asleep. With Draco still in his school robes and with Hermione her pajamas. Draco had his arm around Hermione the whole night, never letting go........
