Communication
He was naked.
Hermione stood frozen in her place, staring unblinkingly at Draco Malfoy as he stood before her in all his glory.
"Speechless, Granger?" he smirked as her eyes came to land on his masculinity.
She took a startled step backwards.
"No," she murmured. "I just can't find the words to communicate what I think of this situation…"
"This situation, Granger?" Draco's smirked broadened. "You mean walking in on me in the common room stark naked?"
"Precisely," Hermione responded vaguely, biting her lip absently and not taking her eyes of Draco's lower region. "I don't quite know what to say."
Draco took a step forward and Hermione's eyes widened at the movements it caused certain parts of his anatomy to make. His smirk widened when she didn't look away.
"Granger," he said lightly, amusement in his tone as he lifted her chin to look at his face instead. Her breath hitched and she felt a shiver run through her spine. "What I would like you to communicate is what you feel about this situation…"
Hermione looked hesitantly into his eyes. "What I … feel?"
"Yes."
Hermione swallowed thickly, looking nervous.
She shook her head. "I can't tell you that," she said, causing Draco to cock an eyebrow. "I'd have to show you."
And before Draco had a chance to consider what she might mean, she grabbed the back of his neck in her hand and pulled him down to her for a heart-stopping kiss.
A long moment passed as they tasted each other fervently.
"We communicate wonderfully, Granger," Draco groaned as they pulled away before proceeding to push her up against the bathroom door.
Author Note: It seems that Draco standing naked in front of Hermione is a major topic in my head currently (check out "Glimpse" for more details). However I think you'll forgive me for there can never be enough naked Draco!
