Chapter Six – A Pink Promise

Hermione dashed through the hallways as Draco rushed towards Hermione, calling for her. Her name echoed through the hallways.

"Hermione! Hermione, wait!" Hermione wasn't going to wait for Draco, she was actually trying to avoid him. Confronting Draco after that kiss last night would just be so awkward. She knew that he probably was just in some faze last night and forgot that it was her that he was actually kissing, and not Pansy.

Hermione quickly glanced behind her. Draco was only a couple paces away. He was running like there was a hippogriff chasing after him and she could see the sweat accumulating on his forehead from chasing her everywhere. He never gives up. Does he? She thought to herself. Finally, she gave up and stopped in the middle of the hallway waiting for him.

At last, Draco finally caught up to Hermione. She could hear his erratic breathing. He finally spoke once he could breath right. "Hey, girlfriend," he said grinning.

"What? Are you talking to me? Because I am definitely not your girlfriend." But I wish, she thought. "You kissing me, does not make me your girlfriend."

"Haha, you got it wrong there sweet heart. You kissed me."

"Don't flatter yourself, Draco. Never would I. Besides, that kiss last night doesn't mean anything. I know you think it was actually the stupidest thing you've ever done and that it was so disguis-"

"It was actually nice."

"It was? I mean...yeah right. This is all some joke to you, isn't it? Play with my little fragile heart, and then crush it."

"Oh? So you are falling for me? I knew it."

"Wait, what? I didn't say that. Ugh! Draco stop ruining everything and twisting my words! Last night was a huge mistake, you know it, and I just want to-"

Draco quickly grabbed her arm and brought her to his face. He then leaned in, and kissed her. Hermione was in shock and pulled back after a couple seconds.

"What are you doing? Stop using me as a toy. I don't like you and I never will!"

Draco smiled. "I know you wanted me to do that. Last night wasn't a mistake. I admit, I did kiss you, but I wanted too. Please. I'll stop annoying you or whatever. Just go with me on a second date."

"Fine! I'll go with you on another freaking date! Just please do one thing. Promise me you won't stalk me until then. Okay?"

"I promise," he answered smiling.

"I don't believe you. Make a pinky promise."

"What's that?" Draco said confused.

Hermione giggled and took Draco's hand. "Stick out your pinky." He followed her instructions. Then, Hermione interlaced her pinky into his. "There," she said out loud, "that's a pinky promise."

"Weird things muggle-borns do," Draco said jokingly. Hermione's jaw dropped.

"What did u say? Did you just say muggle-born?" Hermione was astonished. Draco Malfoy, the boy who always called her a filthy mud-blood, had actually used the term "muggle-born" instead.

"Yeah, why?" He said looking confused.

"Oh nothing," Hermione said trying to act like nothing he said made her feel absolutely shocked.

"Oh…okay."

"Well, uh, I should get going. I'm late."

"Late for what?"

"Something none of your concern," Hermione replied with a mysterious look Draco didn't quite trust. "Oh, and remember our pinky promise."

Draco chuckled, "I will. Bye, Hermione."

"Bye!" Hermione exclaimed as she walked into the darkness of the halls.

Draco knew that he shouldn't have followed Hermione, but he felt as if he needed to. He began to walk towards the end of the hall. He then took a turn and saw Hermione just a few feet away. He tried to walk silently. Hermione looked constantly behind her and everytime she did, Draco had to hide behind a pillar or a wall.

After a couple minutes of walking, Hermione had stopped. Draco quietly crept behind a giant pillar. He didn't understand why Hermione was just blankly staring at the wall. It was just plain and nothing was on it. But right at that moment, the wall started to shake a little, and a design started to delicately form. Suddenly, it had turned into giant doors and it slowly opened. Inside there was Harry, Ron, Cho, and a bunch of other people that weren't normally seen together. Draco gasped, completely dumfounded, and quickly bolted away, trying to erase what he had seen.
