Draco's POV:

She, of all people, was the first person I expected to despise me with all her burning desire and passion. Turns out, I was obviously wrong since she confessed that she indeed did reciprocate the feelings back.

Good Lord, now what do I do?

We both can't always remain as friends, especially after all these barmy hell of confessions.

So I broke the ice between us and began "So Hermione, what do we do now?"

"What?" she questioned in confusion.

"I mean-now that we've both confessed about you know? So then, we just can't remain as friends now, can we?" I replied with a glimmer of hope in my voice.

She rolled her eyes "You damn git, then isn't it obvious?"

I scratched the back of my neck and let the heat rise up to my cheeks as I stuttered "So Granger..umm..will you go out..with me?"

"Of course! Why won't I?" she responded. "After all,  I didn't force myself to be in love with you, of all people." she trailed off.

I smirked "Yeah, we didn't, but I'm certain you are attracted to me, only for my wealth."

She shook her head in disagreement, which left me at a loss for words. Many girls who I've had a fling with, only were with me for either two reasons- either my family's wealth or the fact that my family was part of the 'Sacred 28'.

"You're somewhat enthralling, it just somehow caught my attention. I mean-you're really striking. I'd never realise 'till I slapped you in Third Year. Then it got even more evident to me when we were finally paired together to brew the Amortentia." she mumbled, loud enough for me to hear.

"Wait what?" my eyes widened.

Not only was she perspicacious and enchanting, she was also somewhat quaint.

 I remembered she had slapped me across the face with all the strength she could muster, but surely she did not fall for me at that time. After all, we were on different sides- I was supporting the Dark and she supported the Light, and we were two sworn academic rivals, that rivaled each other in grades and the sides of the war.

She came closer, that our noses were almost touching.

She whispered "You were extremely enthralling to me. I was oblivious at first, and eventually I realised. I fancied you."

I tilted her chin up, for her face to face me and questioned her "Now, tell me, do you still find me enthralling?"

She slowly nodded and added "Well, now I find you amazingly handsome and selfless."

I smiled and leaned closer for our lips to be connected briefly until someone barged in and yelled.

"Lookie here, Blaisie, I won the bet, once more! Now, you better give me the 10 Galleons you promised!" It was Theo and he was smirking at the sight of us.

Blaise sighed and gave Theo the 10 Galleons.

"Now what did you bet on, you bloody damn nosy gits?" I snarled.

Theo recalled the memories "Ah yes, I knew you were bound to ask such a thing. It was me."

I let go of Hermione's waist and chased after Theo around the common room as he stuck his tongue out teasingly.

"I'm going to get back at you, Theo. I'll make sure of it." I snarled at him.
