Hermione was out with friends to celebrate Ginny's 19th birthday. They were there with Harry, Ron, Luna and Neville. They'd all been paired up, basically, since the war ended. The war had seemed to bring most people together. They were in a club in London and Hermione had probably drank too much, but she was having a great time dancing away the weeks stress from working at the ministry. She took hold of Ron who laughed and leaned in to kiss her. She looked over to Luna dancing she was doing her usual dance twirling around on the spot and waving her hands in the air. Hermione let out a giggle.

Ron leaned close to her ear. 'You want another wine?'

'Yes please!' She shouted back he gave her a quick kiss and turned to the other boys. The girls came together. 'You having a good time Ginny?'

'Yes the best!' She said slightly out of breath from dancing. 'How about you Luna?'

'Oh yes!' She dreamily replied which sent Hermione and Ginny into laughter. They carried on dancing together while they waited for the boys and their drinks.

Draco arrived at the club hoping to let off a bit of steam, maybe find a girl to take home. He was meeting some of the lads and spotted them waiting at the bar. As he got closer Zabini saw him and motioned to ask if he wanted a drink and he nodded his reply. He stood with Crabbe and Goyle while he waited after saying hello he took a look around the club to see who was in tonight.

'Anyone interesting in tonight?' He shouted over to Crabbe.

'Nah' He grunted.

Goyle laughed 'Only cause he's been knocked back already tonight!'

'Fuck off Goyle!'

Draco couldn't help but laugh as he took his bottle from Zabini. Taking a swing he took another look around. That's when he noticed the gleam of a green dress showing from in between the crowd. When the crowd parted he noticed the legs that stemmed from the skirt and moved his gaze upward the dress showed off her curves in all the right places. Wow he thought. When he reached her face he was shocked. 'Fuck! It's Granger.'

'I know right?' Zabini was at his side he must have thought aloud. 'Who'd have thought?' He laughed.

Draco took another swig of his beer he couldn't seem to take his eyes off her. She was laughing. He'd hardly seen her laugh before. It was sight to behold. They both worked at the ministry but with different departments. He was still taking her in when Weasley came up to her with a drink and kissed her. He let a low primitive growl escape from his throat. Fucking Weasley he thought downing his beer and ordering another.

Hermione kissed Ron and took a grateful sip of the cool crisp liquid and licked her lips. Ron took her by the waist and pulled her in for a heated kiss. 'Wow' she giggled.

'You look stunning tonight 'mione.' He said in to her ear.

She felt it too. She was happy Ginny had made her buy this dress she was reluctant at first, it was so expensive. She never treated herself and Ginny had been so persistent, she eventually gave in. She loved the feel of the silk on her skin and the tickle of the hem on her thigh just above her knees. She was going to advantage of how she felt, helped along a little by the alcohol. She grabbed for Ron again and kissed him hard. They pulled apart and he looked at her puzzled. She just laughed and had some of her wine. She leaned forward and told him she was going to the toilet handing him her glass.

Draco watched them from where he stood. He usually got what he wanted and right now he wanted Granger no matter how messed up it was. He was just starting to formulate a plan when he noticed her break away on her own and head towards the toilets. Right he thought, it's now or never, let's have some fun. He finished the rest of his beer and ran after her. He followed her to just before the ladies and just as she was about to enter he took his hand and placed it on her lower back and made her carry on moving forward.

Hermione gasped 'what the...'

He turned and pushed her up against the wall leaning forward with his hands on either side of her head. 'Hello Granger' He said with a Grin.

'Malfoy' she said with distaste. 'What do you want?'

'Well since you asked' He said raising his eyebrows leaning in closer. Close enough to make Hermione catch her breath. He chuckled. 'I would love to taste those lips of yours.'

Hermione gasped he can't really be thinking that he was just playing with her. 'You wish Malfoy.'

He moved even closer and she swore if she licked her lips she'd lick his too.

'Mmmmmmm. I've been thinking about it a lot Granger and if I was going to wish for something it would be to take more than your mouth.' He moved his hand to cup her neck and moved his thumb along her jaw line. The contact made her skin tingle and burn where he touched. He moved his head to the other side of her jaw and ran his nose along it taking in her scent. Delicious. Her eyes flickered shut and a small whimper escaped her lips. He looked at her and grinned he moved closer to her lips again and she looked at him with heavy eyes sparkling. 'Don't worry Granger.' He said. 'I'll wait till you ask me nicely.' He looked at her lips biting his own with hunger. 'Just don't take too long about it'

He pushed himself away from the wall removing his hand from her neck. To her surprise she found herself moving forwards trying to prolong the contact. He chuckled wickedly, turned and walked away.

He walked away knowing he could have kissed her there and then, they both knew it. He had to play this right from now on. If he wanted to have Granger, and he did, he had to do this right. Getting one over on Weasley would be a bonus. He motioned to the guys, he wanted to leave and they moved to follow.

Hermione must have been up against the wall awhile because Ginny had come looking for her. 'Hey you!' She said laughing. 'You lightweight, are you gonna be sick?'

Hermione pulled herself together. 'Yes I have had way too much to drink. Ginny I think I need to go home.' Really she thought she must have been dreaming before.

Ginny laughed 'I'll tell Ron.' She ran off and Hermione followed her she didn't realize she was looking for Malfoy as she made her way towards Ron and the others.

Ron spotted her first and came over to her with a worried look on his face. 'Hey 'mione. You OK? You look a little pale.' He put his hand on her cheek and she jumped. Thinking about the last hand that had touched her.

'Yeah I'll be fine.' She smiled 'I just need to go home. I've had way too much to drink. I need sleep and food.'

He laughed taking her hand he said 'I'll just let the guys know and I'll take you home.'

'No it's fine.' She said hurriedly she just wanted to be alone right now. 'You stay I'm literally gonna go straight home heat up some left overs and go to bed.'

'Are you sure?' He said checking.

'Yes I'm sure.' She leaned forward and kissed him. 'Say bye to everyone for me' she turned and started to leave the club all the while looking for Malfoy he wasn't there maybe she had imagined it after all.

Since apparating while drunk wasn't highly recommended she hailed a taxi to take her home. Once she got home she headed straight for bed thinking about Malfoy.
