Sunday/Draco's POV

"You make the butterflies in my stomach go crazy."

When I was waking up today, something came immediately in my mind again: I forgot to send Hermione an owl. So I stood up from my comfy bed and sat down on a chair next to my black, marble-ish desk. But how was I supposed to write her without acting silly? Even though I already did this once, I still don't know if she thinks I'm awkward.

Dear Hermione,
shall we meet at 3 o'clock?
Yours,
Draco

Awkward, too formal.

Good morning Hermione,
what about meeting at 3 o'clock?
DM

Sounds stupid.

Hello Hermione,
Shall we meet at 3 o'clock? Don't forget to bring parchment paper this time *wink*
DM

Not too stupid, not too formal. I re-read the message once again and sent my eagle owl to Hermione. I think the wink is a little funny, hopefully, she'll understand the joke. Anyway, I was so deepened in my own thoughts that I didn't hear Blaise who was ambling through our room.

He smiled at me and said jokingly: "Sending love letters to the brightest witch of our age, aren't you?" He imitated her voice and added: "Dear Draco, prince of Slytherin, you are my true love!" He ended his acting with some blown kisses and looked at me, demanding an explanation.

"Not funny, seriously. Besides, we'll work on our project today, that's why I sent him a letter. I had to write to her the time we'll meet", I answered quickly.

"What a pity, thought you two would have a date today", he looked at me again, "But at least you are meeting. Ginny doesn't want to meet me any longer because she wants to be loyal to Potter. I didn't even flirt with her that much." I strongly believe in them. They are just perfect together, even though Ginny seems like having a shell you must crack first, she's pretty nice.

"Let's breakfast", I said in order to kick off all the negative thoughts in Blaise's head. Dunno why I'm caring about him that much, probably because I figured out that he's a real friend.

While having breakfast, I tried to find Hermione in the crowd of all Hogwarts students. It took me about 5 minutes until I found her. Eating her toast, she waved me and smiled. Her hair was particularly shiny today like her smile was. She made me almost faint of her beauty. But she looked away. My owl landed in front of her plate. After she unleashed the envelope, she immediately opened it and read my message. Finally, she looked at me and rolled her wonderful eyes, then she smiled once again. I guess that meant we are meeting at 3 o'clock.

Throughout the course of the day, I was so excited all the time. I took a shower, sprayed on some cologne, and was wearing my usual uniform which came right of the laundry. I also brought a little bag with me that contained things like parchment paper and my quill. In addition, I also took some pumpkin tarts with me. Just in case she's hungry or rather, I am. It has to be mentioned that I planned to take her to the Astronomy tower after we finished our work. Although I made some bad experience there, I still think it's a beautiful place for a date.

Bloody hell, I'm madly in love with her. 

When I checked the time, it was already time to go to the library. With crazy butterflies in my belly, I arrived and took a seat.
It didn't take long to wait for Hermione. She was right on time, as always, and smiled at me. When I was standing up to greet her, she immediately grabbed the parchment paper out of her bag.

"Look what I brought", she said proudly pointing her finger at her parchment paper.

"That's what I already expected, Hermione," I said smiling at her.

"Oh, I forgot to say hello to you. I'm so sorry, I was just proud of myself bringing-"

"Don't worry about that. Already your appearance is a whole blessing", I interrupted her. She giggled and then we start working on our project. Occasionally, we laughed so loud that Madam Pince had to shush us. Anyway, we were very productive.

"I think we are finished for today. You didn't break any of my rules on purpose, good job", she smirked.

"Guess I should get a reward for my excellent behavior", I joked.

"Huh? What do you think should it be? A new quill? Yours seems pretty old already"

"Uhm no. I thought about going to the Astronomy tower with me. I've brought some pumpkin tarts with me, so we can eat them there. What do you think?" I tried to put on my best puppy look.

"Yeah, why not. Seems to be cool", she answered trying to be cool. Honestly, it's cute. Extremely cute.

"Then let's go. And like I said at the beginning of the school year, not even the brightest witch of our age could resist me, right?" I said with a cocky smile.

"Oh shut up Draco or I'll throw a hex on you", she said jokingly.
