"It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the world is perfect...yada yada yada!" Hermione's day had been the complete opposite. " yuggh! all these "perfect life and happiness" fairytales are making me sick!" She threw the book to the ground in anger and then hastily picked it up, dusted it off and looked around nervously. She was head girl after all, and she must set an example. If anyone was to see her disrespect hogwarts school property like that, she would be in BIG trouble. Not to mention, books were her beloved and what she had just done was so completely out of character, she would be sent to Madam Pomfrey for a check up. This thought made her giggle, imagine if Harry or Ron saw that, They would most likely think she was under the imperious curse or something as utterly ridiculous as that. Her day was not perfect, but she was immensely happier and no longer felt the need for violent displays and violation of the library books.
She was however, still sick of reading the same old romance novels, she needed to step up, put a little spice her life, shake it up a bit. She was browsing the restricted section and came across an interesting binding. It was completely black except for a gold inscription she couldn't make out. She carefully pulled the book out of it's place and read the ancient title. BLINDING by Carla Gerome!
She sat down on the fancy black chaise lounge in the cornor of the restricted section and began to read what could only be described as an erotic nearing pornographic romance novel. True, it was not her usual and Definitely not her favourite but it intrigued her and peaked her curiousity. The first chapter was slow but picked up speed during the second. As she started the third chapter she began to feel flushed and uncomfortable. Maybe she should have read this in the privacy of her dorm room. She crossed her legs and continued reading, she sqeezed her thighs together as she read the next page and found herself enraptured by this book. So enraptured in fact, that she hadn't noticed Malfoy sneeking up behind her and reading the book along with her. So when he spoke she jumped high in the air and landed on her but on the floor with Malfoy laughing his pants off. "Hi" He tried to stifle his laughter without success.
She looked up through her lashes at the boy who had made her life hell for the past 8 years. This made him laugh even harder, for her hair was trussed up and messy as hell, her face was flushed, her clothes were rumpled and her breathing was ragged. " Malfoy" She acknowleged with a confidence she didn't feel though her act was award winning.
" Granger, how unpleasant to see you this peacful afternoon." As this was said he skillfully moved the smallest step closer in her direction. " I see Miss. Pince let her FAVOURITE student in the restricted section again for the 5th time this week instead of going to class. Because MISS KNOW-IT-ALL doesnt need to go to her lessons because she is to smart."
" That's right Malfoy and you would do well to remember that. Because as much as you hate it and as much as you think your deserving of my position, the truth is, you aren't and never will be" She picked up her book and turned to walk away.
" As much as i love our banter, why don't we cut to the chase Granger, what book are you reading?" He smirked and Hermione paled.
" That's none of your business Malfoy, now if you'll excuse me." Again she tried to leave but he carefully pushed her so she was sat back down on the lounge
" I don't think so Granger, i would REALLY like to know what book you were so into that you felt the need to cross your legs with what i'm assuming is discomfort, look around nervously and flush like the sunset in california." he practically breathed with victory. She was on the lounge and he was kneeling in front of her, surrounding her, with no visible escape route.
Well not today! " Malfoy, i said before it is none of your business and i would really like to leave because quite flankly, i'm tired and don't like you at all. And i know you will let me leave because i have a question to ask you and you will not like it." She felt a small smile tug at the cornors of her lips but held it back while he processed her words. He faltered but gained confidence back with out a breath.
" Nothing you ask me, can distract me from knowing this book that has gotten you all hot and bothered, as it was obviously not in the school curriculum and most definitely from the restricted section which we now currently preside." He smirks again.
She smiles sweetly, to sweetly. " DRACO" She purrs. " Do you love me?" She leaves the question hanging in the air like a thread of cotton, that snaps as he stands abruptly, turns and walks briskely away in hast.
BINGO! i grab the book tightly in my hands and skip to Miss Pince to borrow the book. Smiling the whole way back to her dorm that unfortunatly she had to share with Malfoy. She stashed the book and skipped the entire way the the great hall for dinner.
