Hermione had felt love before, from her friends and her family. But feeling love from Draco was a whole new experience - one very few would be able to say they participated in. It was like earning the trust of a wild animal, he went from the boy who bullied her to the man who would lay down his life and die for her in more ways than one. He was her life, now that her parents were gone. Draco had become the biggest part of her life, encapsulating every waking thought and even more.
