So today has been boring so far. Potions was the only fun part, but that's mostly cause I know exactly what I'm doing there.

Pansy and Blaise are busy today, which leaves me by myself. I am currently on my way to the library.

It's around the time of day where it's mostly empty, and I take that time to enjoy myself reading new books or rereading ones I have already read.

I walk in and look around. There's no more then two people. Good.

I walked over to get the last book I read since I had yet to finish it. However, when I got to the spot it was supposed to be, it wasn't there.

" Draco." Says a voice to the side.

I look and see there sat Hermione, and in her hands was the book I was looking for.

I walked over. " We're you looking for this book Draco?" Says Hermione.

" Yes actually. I spend a lot of my spare time reading. I was in the middle of that one last time I was here." I say.

" Would you like to read it with me? I mean, only if you want to." Says Hermione.

I thought about it. She smiled. " It's ok Draco. No ones around to see us if that's what your worried about. " she said.

I smirked. " Very well Granger. I'll take you up on that offer." I say walking over and sit in the chair next to her.

She moved the book to where it was in the middle of both of us and together we read.

Never in my life would I have ever thought that I'd be sitting next to Hermione Granger. Reading a book with her and calling her by her first name.

My father would throw a fit since she's a muggle born. It used to bother me a lot, however, she's been nice.

My eyes shifted over to her as we read. I never noticed before, but she's actually pretty.

" So Draco. Do you mind if I ask a few questions?" Says Hermione.

" What would you need to ask about?" I say.

" Well you of course. If you, Pansy, Harry and I are going to continue meeting every couples nights I want to get to know you more. " says Hermione.

" I guess I could answer a few questions. " I say.

She smiles. " Ok, so tell me a childhood memory. Like a birthday or something. " says Hermione.

" My family never celebrated birthdays the way others do. A party for a pure blood or half blood is different from that of a muggle born. Parties are held like always, but there'd be a lot of magic involved. In my case, my presents were lessons on how to be more like my father to uphold the Malfoy name. My mother would at least give me a cup cake or a brownie. Other parties for other like Pansy or Blaise were really fun. " I says.

" So you never had a birthday party?! " she exclaimed.

" No, not really. My parents are more stay serious, then take a day and have fun." I say.

" Well you must tell me when your birthday is. I have to know so I can do something special for you." Says Hermione.

I smile at her. " How about I tell you a week before my birthday, that way you'll have a week to prepare. " I say.

" I can live with that." Says Hermione.

" What about you? " I say.

" Well since my parents are muggle's  we hold regular birthday parties. Though, since most of my friends are here at Hogwarts, I just have a nice day with my parents. I get presents from them and cards  in the mail, they bake me a cake, and we watch my favorite tv show on tv. " says Hermione.

I looked at her confused. " Tv?" I say.

She gasps. " You don't have a tv at your place do you?" She asks.

" I don't know what I stupid tv is." I say.

She explained to me what a tv was. " Wow, that actually seems pretty neat." I say.

" It is. I love watching tv. It's pretty good. " she says.

" Well don't forget to tell me your birthday. I might get you something too." I say.

" That's very sweet of you Draco. " says Hermione.

I smile and we continue reading for a while before I realize it's getting late. I need to head back to Slytherin house to meet up with Pansy and Blaise.

I slowly get up. " Thank you Hermione. I actually think I enjoyed myself today. " I say. More shocked at my own words then she was.

She smiled. " Well do come back sometimes soon. I could always use a reading buddy." She says putting the book up.

" I just might take you up on that soon. See you at dinner. " I say.

" Bye Draco." Says Hermione.

I then leave and walked away. Ok what is happening to me right now?! Since when have I ever been that nice to a muggle born, let alone Hermione Granger?

Actually, since when have I been that nice to anyone?! I'm barely like that with Pansy and Blaise.

I also seem to get this weird feeling when I looked at her today. I'm not sure what it was, but I don't think I like it.

It was probably nothing. I quickly make it back to Slytherin house to wait for Pansy and Blaise.

I finally sit down and rest. Now unable to do anything besides think of Hermione, and really, it's quite annoying.

Now all that's left for me to do is wait.

A/N. Hey guys. Ok, so when I first started this story I had planned for there to be no relationships. Just friendships. However, as I go along and the couple chapters for the Yule Ball come. I needed to find someone for Draco to go with. So I got some help from another member of my family and we decided that Draco will be going to the Yule Ball with Hermione. I know it's different starting the relationship between the couple later in the story, but as I said. I hadn't planned on a relationship to start with. So I hope you enjoy. I'll update again Soon.
