This little story I am not sure where this going yet, maybe some chapters but I am feeling more one-shot on this….who knows though. Anyway it came from listening to the Hey Violet song Brand New Moves. If any of you have ever had a one night or short lived affair that was super-hot but life got in the way, this is for you. Feeling out of my funk finally, I think because the sun is shining more and the weather is milder. I still miss London.
"Hermione darling we are so happy you are home. To Hermione" Mrs. Weasley raised her glass and everyone raised their glasses "Hermione" was repeated in unison
She took a deep breath before speaking, "Thank you everyone for coming, and thank you to Molly and Arthur for having this welcome home party for me. I promise I want to say hello to all of you and I apologize in advance if we don't get enough time to chat, but I am free for lunch dates…"
"Ahem after I am done training in my new recruit" chimed in Harry
"Yes boss" Hermione laughed and gave Harry a mock salute "I have missed you all so much but you all know I was needed in Australia. I am happy to report mom and dad are fine and will be fully moved in back home in a few weeks. They were just tying up some loose ends. Grant it I didn't expect to be away for a few years but we needed time as a family and I thank you all for loving me and being patient" at those last words a pair of gray eyes found brown ones "Cheers"
"All right everyone, dig in if you like" Molly announced gesturing to the buffet she created
He watched as the crowd broke up and she turned the eldest Weasley's to thank them again and hug them. She was missed by everyone here, but him especially. So they may have had one weekend together before she left, and not spoken since, but that weekend well….it was one for the ages. They had a connection, he felt it, and he knew she did too. He knew the moment he felt her eyes on him when he arrived tonight. She didn't give him a look of concern, or 'oh shit what is he doing here'; no this was a look of relief mixed with want and possibly sin.
Draco Malfoy was no idiot, he didn't believe in love at first sight or soul mates, or any of the other shit people threw out there to make themselves feel better about love or lack thereof. He had been on plenty of dates and slept with plenty of women, hell he had even had a yearlong relationship with Astoria, but no one could come close to her. He measured everyone against her.
Even as she chatted with Molly and Arthur she was keenly aware of his eyes on her. She also could filter out all the noise around her and zero in on his voice. She was thrilled he was here; she was hoping to see him tonight. She took it as a good sign that their time together had possibly meant something to him as well.
As she moved through the little gatherings of friends throughout the night, he never once sought her out, but she could feel his eyes on her, watching her, if she was honest it felt a bit like she was his prey and Merlin did she want to be caught. The longer he played this game the more turned on she became, the party was winding down and she had not seen Draco for almost ten minutes but she knew he was there, she could feel him. She was practically panting with lust and excitement she wanted him so bad. She walked to the edge of the garden where Molly had a beautiful table displayed with food and drink. Reaching for a small bottle of sparkling water she felt him behind her finally, his hands grazed her hips and he pulled her into him. She could feel his intentions, which made her shiver with lust all the more as he purred into her ear "Walk with me in the orchard…" it was not a request.
And now that I am here I am thinking short story….thoughts. Also side note I may eventually go back and edit Fix Each Other. Towards the end I was in a dark place and wrapped it up quickly….maybe too quickly. If I do I will let you know. Xoxo Adel
