Hermione has a secret, she has done since their first day at Hogwarts but keeping this secret? With nosy people it's getting harder day by day...

This is another Dramione idea I have had...

"You stupid cow, you should be sent to live with muggles forever!"

"Ugh Malfoy, you are such a jerk!" Hermione shouted back.

"Ooo, Granger called me a name – excuse me while I just cry myself to sleep." He replied sarcastically. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Come on Hermione, he's not worth it." Ron said, shooting Malfoy a disgusted look. He pulled her arm lightly and Hermione reluctantly followed him and Harry to the Great Hall.

"He really gets on my nerves." Harry muttered as they sat down. Hermione nodded distractedly. She reached out randomly and ate whatever she picked up.

"I've got to the library." Hermione stated, grabbing her bag and jumping up. Ron and Harry rolled their eyes as she shot out of the hall. Neither of them noticed the other person leaving straight after.

"Oi Granger." She turned at the whisper and carried on choosing a book.

"What do you want Malfoy?" She asked, sitting down at a secluded table.

"I wanted to tell you that I don't appreciate being called a jerk."

"It's okay there's no one else here." She said looking up.

"Oh thank God." He pulled out the seat opposite her and sat down.

"I'm sorry for calling you a cow."

"I'm sorry for calling you a jerk." They said simultaneously. They looked at each other and grinned.

"I loved your sarcasm though." Hermione laughed.

"Thanks, I do try." He said with his hand on his heart, she giggled again glad that they were far enough away from Madame Pince.

"So best friend, how've you been today?"

"I've been great best friend, how about you?"

"Better now I've apologised for calling you a cow." He grimaced.

Hermione sighed, "You know you have to keep on being horrible to me."

"I know, I know but it doesn't mean I have to like it." Hermione reached over and patted his hand.

"It's okay, I forgive you." She said brightly, starting to remove her hand. He smiled and caught it, holding it in place.

"You always do."

Hermione and Draco, first year train ride

"Oh I am so sorry." Hermione gushed as she bumped into someone slightly taller than her.

"Watch where you're going next time." Draco said coldly.

"No need to be so rude, I did apologise." She said just as coldly. Draco looked at her in shock.

"Don't you know who I am?"

"An extremely arrogant blonde who can't take an apology?" She suggested.

"Oh I suppose you're going to make some nasty blonde joke?" It was Hermione's turn to look shocked.

"I do not believe in stereotypical comments thank you very much." She replied haughtily.

Draco grinned, "We're going to get along great then, I hate stereotyping."

"So are you coming to the Quidditch pitch tonight? There's no practise on."

Hermione nodded, "Sure, are you still making me go through with this dare?"

"Hell yeah, miss Hermione Granger on a broom? No way." Hermione scowled and he laughed.

"Harry and Ron have been trying for four years to get me on a broom, how on earth have you managed it with one sentence?"

"It's because you love me." Draco said jokingly.

"Ooft definitely." She said sarcastically, "Whoops I'd better get some work done, otherwise Harry and Ron will wonder what I've been doing."

"Jeeze, just pretend you were reading for recreational purposes." Hermione gave him a weird look, "What?"

"I just love the fact that a, you know me that well and b, you can use big words without getting confused." He laughed again.

"Like I said, you just love me." It was Hermione's turn to laugh.

"Sure, sure."

They read in silence for a while until the bell rang, signalling afternoon lessons.

"You leave first." Hermione said.

"Okay, meet me on the Quidditch pitch at seven okay?"

"Fine." She replied resignedly. She watched him leave and a moment later followed his path.

"Wow, Granger was very nearly late." Malfoy said as Hermione ran up to Harry and Ron, they were waiting outside Charms.

"Shut up Malfoy." Hermione said with a look of disdain. The door magically opened and Hermione pushed passed him and took her seat at the front.

Harry and Ron exchanged the 'Hermione's always arguing with Malfoy' look and followed her into the classroom.

Hermione got on with the work surprisingly well for someone that was furious – wink, wink – and the lesson flew by.

She gathered her things together and as she walked passed Malfoy he slammed into her.

"Watch where you're going Granger." He smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes and carried on to Ancient Runes.

She looked around to make sure she was alone in the corridor before unfolding the piece of parchment.

She thought fondly of the times they used to pass notes.

Hey best friend, bet you're thinking about when we used to pass notes, am I right? Anyway how about we meet at the pitch at six instead? We'd get longer then. At tea eat a red apple for no and a green for yes.

See you at tea (well from afar) and I can't wait to see you on a broom.

Your best friend

Hermione shook her head at how well he knew her and entered her class.

"So how was Ancient Runes, Hermione?" Harry asked as he and Ron sat down either side of her.

"Oh it was great, we learned..." She started reciting what they had been told and they switched off their hearing.

Broken up only from her occasional bites, Hermione finally rounded up what she was saying and picked up a green apple. She glanced over quickly to Draco and saw his slight nod.

"What time is it?" She asked, taking a bite of the apple.

"Five to six, why? More homework?" Harry replied.

"Something like that, I'm just going to-"

"The library." Harry and Ron chorused with a grin. She smiled sheepishly and made her way out of the hall.

Hermione started following her usual path towards the library but subtly headed out of the main doors and walked towards the pitch.

Hermione and Draco, third year Quidditch Pitch

"One day I will get you on a broom." Draco promised.

"I highly doubt that."

"But it's amazing, you'd really enjoy it."

"I tried it once in first year and I hated it then, someone telling me that I would enjoy it will not change my mind."

"Fine." Draco pouted.

Hermione and Draco, about a week ago :)

"Hermione Jean Granger."

Hermione's jaw dropped, "Did you just full name me?"

He grinned, "I most certainly did, I've got a dare for you." She gritted her teeth, she couldn't refuse a dare.

"Okay." She waved him on.

"I dare you to," He paused dramatically, "Get flying lessons off me." She groaned.

"No, no, no, I'm not doing it."

"Fine, I'll just have to start answering questions in class then." He laughed at her horrified expression.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh I really would."

"Bu, but then you'd be known to be as clever than me."

"Do the dare then."

"O-okay." Draco grinned triumphantly.

Hermione watched Draco zooming around the sky. He spotted her and flew down to her, hovering a metre away.

"Hey best friend, you ready?"

"Not really best friend, but a dare is a dare."

"Good, good, come on we'll fly around together first, okay?" She nodded, unsure, "You'll be perfectly safe, I won't let you get hurt, I promise."

She took a step forward and Draco slid backwards on the broom.
