"Well let's go get the cloak and go" Ron said determinedly.
"As much as I would love to, we have to wait until the library is closed so we have less of a chance of getting caught. We can't exactly slip on the cloak in the middle of the day and walk into the restricted section. First of all, those books have a mind of their own and if we accidentally open one we don't need it making noises and giving us away. And second, I think the teachers would put two and two together when they realize we aren't in class and someone broke into the restricted section" Harry stated.
"I hate when you're right, you know that?" Ron said grumpily.
"You just have no patience" Harry said laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Ron said shoving Harry.

"What happened in your potions class today?" Ginny asked as she slid into the seat across from Hermione in the Great Hall.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"Well the whole school was talking about how Ron lost it on Malfoy, and it's not like I can ask him what's going on.. So care to enlighten me as to why my brother was kicked out of potions and nearly hexed Malfoy's head off?" Ginny asked with an amused look on her face.
"Ron just wasn't happy with how close Draco was to me" Hermione said blushing.
"And why was he so close to you in the first place?" Ginny asked her eyebrows raising in interest.
"I don't know he was flirting with me I guess, and I lost focus of what I was doing and he came up behind me and grabbed my hand in his and made me stir the potion because I had stopped" Hermione stated.
"Flirting?" Ginny asked smirking. "How so?"
"He was just being a pig. Telling me he would rather watch me and look down my top instead of help me with the potion we were supposed to be working on together" Hermione said, her face flushing crimson.
"Well then no wonder Ron got pissed.." Ginny said laughing.
"He didn't hear what Draco said Gin, I don't think Draco would have lived to see tomorrow if he heard what was said. And the situation is not funny. Draco is just saying that stuff to get under Ron and Harry's nerves." Hermione said, disappointment clear in her eyes.
"I don't know Hermione, you're a gorgeous girl, not to mention you're extremely intelligent. In a way, you're Malfoy's equal, especially when it comes to brains. He's got the second highest marks next to you, and regardless of what anyone thinks, he is a very attractive man. If he wasn't in Slytherin and wasn't brought up hating muggle borns, I could honestly see the two of you being together" Ginny stated.
Hermione was about to make a response until she spotted Harry and Ron making their way towards them.
"Hey Hermione, Ginny" Harry said taking a seat on Hermione's right.
"Hi Harry" Hermione said smiling.
"Did Malfoy put his hands on you again once we left?" Ron asked, anger evident in his voice.
"No he didn't Ron" Hermione said.
"Good" Ron said.
The sound of the owls arriving to deliver the daily newspapers and letters cut off the rest of the conversation as everyone looked up.
Hermione was confused when an owl she never recognize before landed in front of her and stuck out its leg.
It was a black owl, black as night with silver eyes. This owl was elegant and looked like it belonged to a king. It was perfectly groomed and shiny, with not a feather out of place.
"Who's owl?" Harry asked curiously.
"I have no idea.." Hermione answered honestly.
"It has a note!" Ginny said pointing at its leg, which was extended and waiting for Hermione.
Hermione gently grabbed the note from the owl, and pet its head with her hand. Hermione let out a squeak in delight when the owl leaned in towards her and nuzzled its head against her chin.
"Wow. That owl seems to really like you Hermione. Are you sure you've never seen it before?" Harry asked.
"I swear I've never seen it before. But isn't he so cute!" Hermione cooed as she reached out to pet the animal again. "Oh Harry, hand me some owl treats will you? I don't normally carry any around with me since I don't have an owl."
Harry rummaged around in his bag, and handed Hermione a few treats.
"Thanks Harry" Hermione said smiling, putting her hand out for the owl to accept the treats.
The owl hooted happily before giving Hermione a final look and then taking off.

Draco watched his owl land in front of Hermione with an amused look on his face. He could tell that she didn't recognize his owl, and by the looks on Harry and Ron's face they didn't either.
Draco was surprised when the owl didn't jump back when Hermione touched him, and was even more surprised when he nuzzled up against Hermione's neck. That was not normal behaviour from his owl. In fact, his owl usually hated everyone but him. Blaise had once tried to pet his owl, Dragon, and it had nearly bit his finger off.
"Well look at that, that stupid bird actually likes someone besides you. It's funny who he's decided to like don't you think?" Blaise asked with a smirk.
"You're just mad Dragon hated your guts" Draco said.
"I just find it funny that he's taken such a liking to Granger. What did you give her anyways?" Blaise asked curiously.
"Just a note, asking her out on a date" Draco said smirking.
Blaise choked on his pumpkin juice and said "You asked Granger out on a date?!"
"Don't think anything of it, it's all a part of my plan" Draco stated cooly.
"Plan or not, hearing that you asked Granger out on a date is something I never expected to hear coming from you of all people" Blaise said. "Anyways, what are you planning on doing for your date?"
"I told her to meet me in the Room of Requirement at 8 tonight" Draco stated.
"You think she's going to show up?" Blaise asked.
"Of course she is" Draco said confidently.

"Hermione you need to go!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I don't know Ginny. I don't know what his intentions are.." Hermione said slowly.
"Well you're never going to find out if you don't go and see what he wants" Ginny stated.
"You're going to make me go, aren't you?" Hermione asked looking at Ginny.
"Of course I am. Now stop trying to think up excuses and go. This is the man you're in love with, so go and see what he wants!" Ginny said grabbing Hermione and pushing her towards the direction of the Room of Requirement.
"But Gin.."
"No buts Hermione. Now get your ass in gear and head over there right now, or so help me god I will drag you over there myself" Ginny said crossing her arms over her chest.
Hermione shook her head and started walking up the stairs.

Hermione slowly approached the spot where she knew the Room of Requirement door would appear. She stared at the empty wall for a few minutes, trying to decide if being there was a good idea or not. Before she could turn around and run away, the door appeared in front of her, and she felt butterflies erupt in her stomach. She took a step forward, and the door opened, as though it had been expecting her and awaiting her arrival. She slowly walked to the door and made her way into the room, and was shocked at what she found.
The room had been magically transformed to look like a beautiful meadow, surrounded by a variety of different coloured flowers. Hermione saw a blanket set up in the middle of the meadow, and Draco was sitting on it looking at her expectantly, a picnic basket on his left.
"Draco this place is absolutely beautiful. Where are we?" Hermione asked as she walked towards him.
"It's a place my mother used to take me as a child, I always found this place relaxing and peaceful" Draco said softly.
"I can see why" Hermione said smiling, looking around at the scenery.
"Come sit" Draco said patting the empty spot next to him on the blanket.
Hermione sat down next to him and continued to look around.
"Do you like?" Draco asked gesturing around them.
"It's gorgeous. I feel like I'm actually outside. I can even smell the scent of fresh mowed grass and the faint smell of all of the flowers around us" Hermione said dreamily.
"I'm glad you like it" Draco said looking at her.
Hermione's cheeks flushed and she looked down at her lap.
Draco reached over and gently placed his hand under her chin and turned her face back towards his.
"You're cute when you blush" Draco stated looking right into her eyes.
Hermione felt her face flush even more, and she was sure that Draco could feel the heat that was radiating off of her now extremely red cheeks. She was glad he couldn't feel her heartbeat, or feel the way her stomach now felt like there were a million butterflies flying around.
Draco pulled his hand back and cleared his throat. "I brought some fresh fruit, would you like some?" He asked opening the picnic basket and pulling out an assortment of different fruits.
"Sure" Hermione said smiling as she reached for a big red strawberry.
Draco sat there and watched Hermione as she ate strawberries and looked around smiling, and he felt a warm feeling in his stomach. He could smell the scent of her perfume as a breeze blew her hair lightly in the wind, she smelled like vanilla. A stray piece of her hair had come loose from the rest and was in her face, and Draco felt himself reach forward and tuck it behind her ear. As soon as he realized what he had done he froze, and then pulled his hand away from Hermione.
Hermione turned and looked at him curiously, but didn't say anything on the matter. She just gave him a small innocent smile.
Draco cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Why don't you tell me some stuff about you?" Hermione asked, breaking the awkwardness between them.
"Like what?" Draco asked.
"I don't know, anything! You're a pretty held back person, no one really knows all that much about you besides what you and your family want them to know, and that isn't very much" Hermione stated.
"There's nothing really interesting to know about me.." Draco said slowly.
"Well how about we play 21 questions?" Hermione asked.
"How do you play that?" Draco asked his eyebrows drawing together in confusion.
"It's a muggle game, where each of us takes turns asking questions. You get 21 questions to ask, and the other person has to answer. It's actually kind of fun, and interesting" Hermione stated with a small smile.
Draco didn't know whether playing this game with Hermione was a good idea or not, but he was kind of interested to see what kind of new things he could learn about her. He also liked how he would have the power to ask her anything that he pleased and she would have to answer.
"Alright, you first" Draco said.
