Draco hadn't believed the words that came from his mouth and neither did Hermione. They stood a foot apart in near the lake. Hermione had found Draco there accidently and before she could leave he grabbed her arm. 4min ago... "Granger!!" "Go away! I'm not in the mood for your insults today Malfoy!!" she yelled trying to release his grip. "That's not what I was going to do you idiot!" he yelled back. His release lessens and Hermione was able to get her arm back. "What is it then?" she asked crossing her arms... She was curious to know what he wanted to say. "Oh... um..." Draco paused. What was he going to say? He had nothing to say to this mudblood! "I love you." Hermione's expression changed from irritated to shocked! "Whaaaat?!" she yelled "What... what are you saying?!" "I love you Hermione Granger..." AGAIN HE SAID THIS!!! Why was he saying this?! But he knew deep down he really did like her. Present... "You... you... YOU ASSHOLE DRACO MALFOY!!!" she screamed and she pushed him aside as she ran past him, her face flustered. Asshole? He had never heard of this term before. (muggle term) But whatever it meant, it meant that she didn't feel the same...
Draco looked across the great hall at Hermione. She sat with her friends laughing and smiling, and when her gaze caught his he quickly turned away. "Damn it..." he whispered. "Draco? You alright there?" asked Blaise, one of Draco's friends. "Yeah Im fine, leave me be," he said looking over at his fellow 6th year again. He couldn't bear it any longer, he needed to confess again, and if she rejected him again he would keep trying. After dinner he caught up with her before she entered the Gryffindor common room. "Granger!" he shouted. She turned around and sighed. "What do you want Malfoy?" she asked. "Granger please... please just listen to me! I really do love you. I'm not lying, I'm not trying to tease you or anything, I reaaally do." He smiled at her which made her blush. "Okay... I get it... But it may take a while for me to fall in love with you back, so don't... Just wait for me alright?" she asked. He smiled, it wasn't EXACTLY what he wanted to hear, but at least she was going to try so he was happy. He smiled at her. "Thank you Granger," he said blushing. "Well then... Goodnight... Malfoy. Draco..." she said blushing when she called him by his first name. He smiled too. "Goodnight, Hermione." He waited until she was gone and he happily went back to his common room like a little child, his heart beating faster than ever. He was happy, and he was going to make sure that she was happy with him too.
