*In the Great Hall.*

"Hey guys, I'm sorry about what I said last night..."

Harry: Don't worry about it, Hermione.

Ron: Yeah, I would've acted the same way.

"I just don't know what got into me..."

Harry: Maybe it's your love for that new boyfriend of yours.

"What?!"

Ron: Lavender told us that you've got a boyfriend from a different house...

Harry: Who is he, then?

"Um..."

Ron: Will you at least tell is what house he's in?

"Well, um... He's in... Slytherin..."

Harry: Did you finally meet your secret admirer? Is it him?

"Yeah..."

Ron: Who is he then?

"Um... I can't tell you..."

Harry: Why not?

"Because I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone..."

Ron: But Hermione! We're your best friends!

"Your point? He's not even telling his friends!"

Ron: Why not? Is he embarrassed that he's dating a Gryffindor?

"You know what, Ronald? I didn't come here to be questioned about my love life! So I'm going to the library."

*Hermione leaves the table and heads towards the astronomy tower instead of the library.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco: There you are! I was beginning to think that you weren't going to show up!

*Draco leans in and gives Hermione a quick kiss.*

Draco: What's wrong, Hermione?

"Lavender told Harry and Ron about us..."

Draco: Crap! Do they know it's me?

"No, I got out if there before I could accidentally tell them."

Draco: Hermione... Are you sure we should keep our relationship a secret?

"Yes. I don't know what my friends would do to you if they found out... Ginny already hates me, so who knows what they'll think?"

Draco: And, as much as I hate to say it, my father would never approve of you... I should probably get going, don't want to be late for Professor Binns.

"Okay."

Draco: Goodbye, my dearest Hermione.

"I never get tired of hearing you say that."

*Draco kisses Hermione goodbye and leaves.*

*In the astronomy tower.*

"Draco, what's wrong?"

Draco: Pansy knows...

"What do you mean she knows?"

Draco: She knows about us, Hermione.

"How?"

Draco: She followed me here this morning... I'm sorry Hermione...

"It's not you fault. It was only a matter of time before someone found out..."

Draco: You don't understand! She's probably going to go straight to my father!

"Draco, we're in this together. You and me... We'll get through this, together."

Draco: I know... I'm just worried about what my father might of to you.

"I can handle that myself."

Draco: I know you can, it's just- if something happened to you, I don't think I could forgive myself.

"Draco, nothing's going to happen to me."

Draco: I know, it's just... I love you too much, Hermione.

"Really?"

Draco: With all my heart!

*Hermione puts her arms around Draco's neck and kisses him.*

Draco: I love you, Hermione Granger.

"I love you too, Draco Malfoy."

*They kiss again.*

Ron: Hermione! What the bloody hell are you doing?!
