A/N: I am so sorry. READ AND REVIEW!! but hope you like it

Draco walked back to the common room replaying the previous night's events. She truly is very clever he thought. He admitted it, he felt bad leaving Hermione there. He knew he would only get himself and Hermione into more trouble if he talked to Snape so he decided that the only way to get rid of this guilt was to do something nice back to Hermione. He decided to take a shower and go to breakfast.

Hermione had mopped the stupid storage room for a whole hour now and had only 5 minutes left before transfiguration started. She looked around the classroom, just as Snape entered the classroom. His black and unforgiving eyes swept over Hermione and sneered at her.

"Miss Granger shouldn't you be at the storage closet cleaning?" He asked menacingly

"I've finished Professor and Transfiguration is going to start in a few minutes"

"I know that Miss Granger. But I don't remember ever giving you the permission to leave this classroom and detention. And I'm sure that when I check your cleaning I shall find that you have missed some spots" he said, as he turned to go to the storage closet.

Hermione groaned and had an inner tantrum and extremely gross ideas of her murdering Snape in a slow and painful way and shut the door behind them. She sulked inside the closet behind the head of slytherin house and waited for him to look around.

He seemed to give up at finding any 'missed spots' and turned to hermione and said, "looks like you will make transfiguration after all". He swept out of the closet and Hermione hurried behind him and practically flew out the door. She thanked the marauderers' map for their endless secret passages.

Draco walked into Transfiguration a few minutes before class began and before Professor McGonnagal arrived. As he walked in the half of the class's gazes shifted to his form. He was at least happy to say almost all of them was of the female population there, plus he decided to add Neville Longbottom in that category as the short and pink boy stared at Draco with fear. Draco smirked and walked in and smirked even more when met with sighs and a whimper(three guesses who) the slytherin girls looked longingly and turned back due to the glares by the male slytherins towards them, but the others didn't bother. Since the war the other houses accepted him. So basically, Draco lost one and gained the other.

His gaze shifted to the entrance of the classroom as he heard someone running towards it. 'I sure hope that isn't Mcgonnagal. There is so much more I want to see' he thought nervously. He looked at Blaise next to him who looked like he couldn't care less.

A huffing and puffing Hermione dropped to her seat exactly 3 seconds before McGonnagal entered looking like she was going to drop dead any second. Ron, who was sitting next to her, looked at her with a concerned expression and also with a relieved one.

"Jeez, Hermione, do you need a healer or something. Anyway, I am so glad your here. Schools just begun and we haven't seen each other for 2 whole months before that, I missed you" He said, smiling.

"Gosh, Ron, that was almost as corny when you said "If I die in the war at least I'll die for you, mate"" Harry said making a high pitched voice

"HUH?,pffffttt...uh...pffffftttt...HEY!! I DO NOT SOUND LIKE THAT and who said "mate I didn't win, we won...together" Ron said making the same high pitched voice and putting his hands on his chest, while Hermione giggled.

"That will be enough, Mister Weasely" McGonnagal said losing her patience.

"I was hoping that after what everyone had to go through, the war and growing up, that everyone might have matured, but I seem to have gotten my hopes up...right, everyone turn to page 123 and read through please...Yes Miss Granger you have probably finished already you can try the transfiguration, but I would prefer you to wait for your classmates" she said before Hermione could react.

Hermione smiled down to her book and looked over to her best friends, who returned it with their goofy grins. She truly loved them. They had gone through seven years of so much and had always stuck together even if sometimes they're were misunderstandings. Her memories wondered up to fourth year and Victor Krum. Why did Ron act like that? Was he jealous? Did he like her too? Or was it just plain childishness? She sighed and looked down.

After school

Hermione was walking back to her dorm after dinner with Harry and Ron. She thought back to lunch and dinner and she realized that she did not see Draco in both. Thinking maybe he was hungry. She asked if they go to the kitchens.

"Why? we just had dinner. Hermione the one thing i know for sure about you is your tiny appetite. I don't mind at all ofcourse" said Ron rubbing his tummy.

Harry just shook his head and looked curiously at hermione as she tried to think of something to say. 'If i say the truth then they'll think i changed my opinon on Malfoy or something...have i?..no...not yet, anyway'

"i need a midnight snack", she lied and sighed when they nodded.

A few minutes later, they exited hands filled with food and ron's mouth covered with chocolate and with Hermione giggling.

A another few minutes later, they entered the head common room. Luckily, Draco was on the sofa reading a book.

"Uh...Malfoy, i noticed you weren't there in lunch or dinner...i brought food...there is too much really so you can have some...?" asked Hermione trying to be casual so Draco wouldn't think that she cared about him or anything and Harry and Ron were there.

"Why do you care, Granger?! Why don't you run along and save the world or something!" he said annoyed with menace.

"OR...get a room with Weasely...i seemed to see you fluttering your eyelashes at him a lot today! you are most defenitely 'in love' with weasel...disgusting! i was going to barf!" he added sneering, his famous slytherin attitude shining.

Hermione gawked at him for a moment and then calmed down and said,"Fine be that way, i was just trying to be nice, and...he's right Ron...I-I-I Lo-love you. I love you." she said, looking at Ron, whose mouth was still wonderfully decorated with chocolate, while everybody's head whipped towards her and all eyes widened.
