As they drifted off into a warm sleep that night, their bodies still sticky with sweat, Hermione realised that Malfoy had at least twice now revealed his feelings for her. He didn’t necessarily say  it , but to her it was all the same. It also felt silly to question if they were dating because the circumstances that brought them together, the forces that caused two such opposites to collide were so dire. In this sense, they were so much more. If Malfoy was reading her emotions, then he was already aware of the peace and stability she felt being with him as well.
