Hey Guys...Sorry for the LATE post...My life is veyr hectic at the moment 
Let it been known i hate coursework and exam revision 
But here is the next chapter!!! CHAPTER 9
Draco put some pie into his mouth and chewed slowly, looking round the hall again. Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy were sat round him talking, it all seemed like background music to him. He had far more important things on his mind. They were satat dinner, having finished a days work. Or in Draco's case, a waste of time. His eyes searched the Gryffindor table, looking for a certain person he couldn't see. He was just about to give up looking for her when she walked
in with Harry, Ron and Ginny.
A small smile crept to his lips as he watched her walk towards there table. She flicked her long fizzy brown hair behind her shoulder as she sat down. She hadn't looked his way as she walked past the Slytherin table, the loudest and happiest table in the hall. 'i guess it was a good thing' he thought as he watched Ron, watching Hermione like a hawk, he didn't like it, the look he was giving her. He was prepared to sit there, thowing quick glances her way, while trying to make small talk with Crabbe and Goyle.
Draco even turned towards them and opened his mouth to speak, but a girl wearing Slytherin robes, with balck hair and an annoying laugh walked into the hall at just that moment. He knew she was searching for him, and he didn't want to talk to her.
"I'll see you later" He didn't give them an reason, he just slipped away. Hiding behind some giggling second years, who were heading out of the hall. One of them looked at him as they walked into the entrance hall, a girl with long brown curls bouncing round her shoulders. She also wore a Hufflepuff scarf. She stopped at the same time as Draco and continued to stare, her friends walking away not noticing her absence in there group.
Her stare annoyed him,
"What?" He asked rudely. the girl gasped and ran after her long since gone friends.
'What was with the students into these days?' he asked himself as he jogged down the stone steps and into the grounds. The sun was setting low over the drak forest, its last rays of light shining through the gaps in the trees.
A lonely ball lay on the grass not far from the large brown doors. Draco strolled over and picked it up. He didn't recognise the design, or colour, but he wasn't stupid. He knew it was a muggle toy.
"Stupid mudbloods" he said quitely to himself, twirling the ball in his hands.
"What was that Draco?" Someone asked bhind him, he whipped round to face the smiling Hermione. His face broke into a smile, he dropped the ball and gathered her up in his arms. He twirled her round.
He wanted to kiss her then and there, and he wanted no one to disrupt them, he even prepared himself to steal the kiss when they both heard a noise. A noise close by them, ready to pound down the stone steps and into the grounds, a second noise joined the first. It was feet! They were going to be caught! Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and they both ran towards the Greenhouses, staying in the shadow where they wouldn't be seen. They both stood gasping for breath,
"have they gone?" Hermione whispered, trying to see into the darkness. Hopefully they went the wrong way, or even better given up! He thought, but said,
"I think so, we can finally be alone!" He smiled as he pulled her closer once more. There lips joined.
'We're Kissing' he thought, he felt like they were no longer in Hogwarts, but some distance land he used to read about when he was little.
A big gasp brought them back to earth. They jumped apart and turned to face Ron and Pansy, both were staring at them. Ron with anger, and Pansy in shock. Pansy had her hand over her mouth, it seemed to him that the gasp had come from her. He felt his cheeks go red, he couldn't believe they had been caught! But he also hated the people before him for disturbing him,
could he ever get some peace!?
The tips of Ron's ears were a beatroot colour, he was shaking with anger. Ron withdrew his wand from his robes and pointed it at him.
"Hermione, how could you kiss this...this..." He was lost for words, but she got what he was saying anyway. Draco could see she had tears in her eyes, he moved towards her to comfort her,
"Dont move!" He called over to his, a few red sparks flew from the end of his wand,
"Or what?" Draco asked, digging into his robes and pulling out his wand, pointing it eaqually at Ron. Hermione niffed beside him.
"If you hadn't noticed Weaslebee me and Hermione love each other" He sneered, watching Ron ears grow even redder.
"Never!" Ron shouted
"Stupefy" He shouted, red sparks flew out of his wand and towards Draco.
"Prontgo" Draco called, a shield formed in front of him, which the spell Ron shouted bounce off and flew towards him. Ron ducked.
"Stop stop stop!" Hermione screamed, jumping in between Ron and Draco.
"Hermione, what are you doing? Move!" Ron called, ready to aim another spell at Draco.
"No, Stop all of you" "Shut up Granger, Move!!" Pansy shot at her, she had glee on her face. The shock from before had disappered, she seemed to having fun watching the fight before her. She pulled her wand out and pointed it at Hermione, her look seemed to say
'i dare you to do something stupid'
Draco sighed, he really did dislike Pansy, without a second thought he pointed his wand at her and said,
"Stupefy" It hit its target, and Pansy fell to the grassy floor, her wand falling next to her. Hermione and Ron both looked at him in surprise.
"I never liked her anyway" He told Hermione, ignoring Ron. She giggled.
"Hermione? Is what he said true?" Ron asked in a small voice, Hermione looked at him
"Yes!" She whispered back, nodding. Ron's mouth fell open, his eyes bulged.
"He'll hurt you Hermione, he doesn't mean what he's said." Ron said, trying to reason with her, it didn't work.
"Look Ron we love each other, if you don't want to hear it then go" She stared him down.
And angry Ron stowed his wand away and stormed off, no doubt going to tell Harry.
"Were in big trouble" She simple said, following Ron with her eyes. Draco took her hand and led her away, nodding his head. Pansy left forgotten.
