Hermione Malfoy: Forbidden Love

Chapter 1:

As a Slytherin, you'd be expected to look down on everyone. Knowing Draco Malfoy, that was always the case. Having a selfish, arrogant father gives you that attitude. But what's behind that exaggeration?

Draco sat there in potions class, bemused of what was going on, staring at the one he secretly loved. A Malfoy? In love? You may think that's impossible, but it was true. Hermione Granger seemed out of grasp. He grunted as he saw her laugh at Harry Potter.

"Why him of all people?" He thought silently. "Why can't she see that I have only eyes for her and that I'm not who I seem to be?" He watched lovingly as she pushed her hair out of the way.

"Why are you staring at Hermione?" Goyle smirked. "It's as if you like her!" he laughed.

They didn't understand the role of a Malfoy. Slytherin and Gryffindor do not bond, it was forbidden especially with a Mud-blood. Draco had to put up with the teasing and bickering for as long as he could remember. But he never took his eyes off her. The way she laughed at Ron's stupidity, the way she always answered questions correctly. It was too hard to resist and instead of telling her he loved her, he had to pick on her with his friends. He had to keep his feelings bottled up for all eternity. His father would never accept it and he knew if he found out, he'd simply be an outcast. He would never be recognised as a true Malfoy. This love was forbidden.

Draco walked down the corridor alone, feeling as if he shouldn't exist. Why did he have these feelings towards Hermione? As he was walking, he noticed a familiar potions book in the darkness. It was Hermione's. He opened it up and flipped through the pages. There were study notes, he was reading them when she returned.

"Oh, Hi Hermione... I found your potions book near the classroom. I was just looking for you.."

"Oh uhmm, thanks. Wait a second, what did you do to it?" she sighed.

"Nothing, I just wanted to hand it back to yo--" Draco looked into her milk brown eyes, he stared lovingly and forgot what was happening.. He regained consciousness of his mind and looked down at the floor.

"Umm Draco? What are you doing?" She demanded.

"Nothing..." He mumbled as he kept looking at the ground.

"Why were you being so nice to me? Did you do something to my book? I'm not in the mood for another one of your pranks!" She groaned as she flipped through it.

"Huh? Nothing...." She whispered confusingly.

"Draco.. I don't understand..." She said. "What's going on? I know something is up because you kept staring at me this morning.." Draco dragged her outside and into the forbidden forest where they couldn't be seen.

"What are you doing?" She stammered.

"What I should have done long ago..." He simply replied.

He lifted up her chin and gazed in her eyes, he then leant forward and gently pressed his lips against hers. What's strange was she didn't even stop him. Hermione wrapped her arms around his back and pulled his body closer to hers. This was nothing in her life she'd experienced..

"Draco, what about your father? What will he think of this? You'll be dead before you know it!" She stammered.

"I don't care, as long as I have you, I've loved you since we first met and won't stop. You don't know how long I've been hiding these feelings, I can't do it anymore and that's just it. I'm sick of being rude and hasty, I'm sick of copying my father. The only thing that matters now is us." He said as he stroked her hair.

"I knew you had a sweet side to you." She smiled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked shockingly.

"The way you always looked at me in class." She noted. "Pretty hard to miss."

"Well, that's because you're irresistible to look at!" He smirked.

Since when was Draco Malfoy so romantic and didn't care what his father said? She couldn't believe what she was doing, especially with the one she despised a few minutes ago. That had just all changed, she suddenly saw a different side to him. A sweet, caring side, this is what she saw in him all along. She liked it that way. Hermione's head spun, she looked into his eyes and couldn't stop the urge to kiss him.

She leant forward and gave him a long, passionate kiss. Draco was almost surprised at this and pulled her closer, wanting more. He kissed her furthur and slid his arms down her back. She put her arms around his shoulders and pulled him down against a thick tree.

The kiss was more intense now, she dragged him down against the ground and snogged him like it was the end of the world. Surprisingly in the end, it was Draco who had to push her away. Hermione shot a confused and angry look at Draco. Then they burst out laughing.

They sat there silently catching their breaths and laughing in the process...

"Well, that was a change of events." Draco smiled wryly. Hermione looked at Draco's face. That smile had her mesmerized.

"Not bad, for a Malfoy." She chimed.

"Not bad, for a Mud-blood." He laughed. They lay there for a long time, in their own special world. Wondering how to hide their love from the whole entire school.

Wait until the story unfolds next chapter. What do you think so far?
