Welcome to my first HermioneXDraco fanfiction!

I have no idea why but something about this paring fascinates me so i have decided to pursue it.

Hope you enjoy!

I do not own Harry Potter nor the characters that are in this story.

It was three years after the war between the wizarding world and Voldemort had come to an end. The golden Trio had successfully taken down the Dark Lord and all had begun to return to normal. Harry and Ron had been given the chance to become Junior Auror's and Hermione had been given the chance to work with the Ministry himself. The two men had taken up the job opportunities with vigor as while Hermione had turned down the chance stating that she would rather return to Hogwarts.

"But Hermione, you have been given the chance to work beside the minister. Why would you go back to Hogwarts and give up this once in a lifetime chance?" Ron asked bewildered as Hermione told the two of them about her voyage to return to school.

"Because Ronald, i have the need to finish school and become a proper wizard before i can take such a job at the ministry. I cant just skip out on my N.E.W.T. exams like the two of you!" Hermione said as the three of them ran through platform 9 3/4 to the train station.

"I dont see why you want to go and take them, everyone who fought the battle against Voldemort was excused from taking them." Harry said nonchalantly pushing the cart of Hermione's things for her.

"I dont want to take the easy way out like the two of you. Besides i only have to go for half the year and complete a few classes before i receive my diploma. The idea of being this close and yet so far makes me feel incomplete." Hermione said as she stopped walking and turned to the two of them.

"Thank you both for bringing me here but you two must get going or else you'll be late for work! Be sure you two write to me and hopefully ill be seeing you at Christmas break!" She hugged Harry, wrapping her arms around him in a big embrace. She then turned to Ron who had a displeased look on his face.

"You'll definitely be seeing us Hermione that's a promise!" Ron told her as he wrapped his arms around her and inhaled the scent of her perfume. Glad to know that she still uses it. Ron thought to himself as he reluctantly let go of Hermione and watched as she walked away from the two of them and towards the train. Hermione boarded the train and began walking down the corridor to find an empty cart. She took the closest one and sat down staring out the window as she watched Harry and Ron take one more look at the train and then apparate from her view.

The train arrived at Hogwarts, the building looking much better than it did after the battle with Voldemort. Hermione got off the train and made her way through the familiar halls and towards the Gryffindor common room and up to her bed. She took a seat on her bed and sat there remembering all the fun times she had there. I sure do miss those days. Hermione thought to herself as she grabbed the parchment of paper from her pocket and looked at her classes that she had left to complete. Defense against the dark arts, do i really need this seeing how i fought against the death eaters? Potions class was always my favorite so i don't mind spending more time in that class. Oh and the study of magical creatures! Its been a while since i last saw Hagrid! Hermione read through the paper then briskly got up and headed down the stairs to the common room. She figured she might as well get to class early and prepare herself for her first class.

After her third class was over she had some time to stay and talk with Hagrid before going to her final class, Defense against the dark arts.

"'Ello Hermione how have you been?" Hagrid asked her as he gave her a big hug.

"I've been well! I see you have rebuild your house, and an even bigger one too Hagrid!" Hermione said as she returned Hagrid's hug. He set her down and she brushed her robes off slightly before walking with Hagrid to his house for a quick cup of tea. Upon setting inside she smiled warmly at her surroundings. Everything looks the same as before only with more room. She took a seat as he pulled the kettle off the stove and poured a cup of tea for her.

"So tell me Hermione, how are 'Arry and Ron?" He asked her before sitting down across from her.

"They both are doing, thanks to me. After the war we all moved in together and i pretty much took care of the two of them until they received their letters to go and work the ministry as Junior Auror's. I also was offered a job at the ministry but my education was more important so i decided i would come back to Hogwarts and finish my education." Hermione spoke to Hagrid as if it hadn't been three years since they last saw each other.

"That's fantastic Hermione! You be sure to tell those two i say hello and that they should come and visit me!" Hagrid exclaimed to her as he looked at the time.

"You better get going! You'll be late!" He told her as he ushered her out the door.

"Thank you Hagrid, it was wonderful to see you and thanks for the tea! Oh and Harry and Ron said they would come up for Christmas so we will come down and join you for dinner one night!" Hermione said over her shoulder as she ran towards the castle. She ran and found her way to the entrance of the castle and through the doors. Making a few turns hear and there she hurried down the stairs and to the classroom for Defense Against the dark arts. She made her way in and took a seat and the front of the classroom as she always did. I made it with plenty of time! There are a few kids in here but they all are filing in. I wonder who the teacher will be seeing how Professor Snape was the last known defense against the dark arts teacher before the battle. Hermione thought to herself as she started to fidget in her seat. It felt a little strange to be in a classroom of younger people seeing how she was 21.

"Everyone sit down and shut up!" She heard a voice come from the back of the room. She didn't dare turn her head, the sound of this mans voice shook her to the core. I swear i have heard this voice before! She couldn't remember for the life of her whose face matched that voice as a tall blonde haired man whisked past her and towards the front of the room. He turned with a flip of his cloak and that's when it became clear. Her eyes went wide as she saw who was standing before her. Not only did she know but the features of this man had grown more defined, more attractive.

"Malfoy?" His named escaped her lips before she could stop herself. He turned and looked at her with a look of pure disdain. His grey eyes bore into her as she began to once again fidget in her seat. No way! How could Malfoy be the new Professor! He disappeared with his mother and father and hasn't been seen or heard from since then! She mentally screamed in her head as she just stared.

Granger! Malfoy cursed to himself. Of course the filthy mud-blood would come back to finish her education! I should have known better! He broke eye contact with her and began his lesson for the day. Hermione tried her best not to answer the question during class which was so unlike her.

"Can anyone tell me the name of the killing curse?" His question rolled off his tongue like acid. Hermione looked around the room and saw that no one had their hand up. Taking a deep breath she slowly raised her had. His eyes darted to her and a vicious grin came to his face.

"Yes mud- Granger?" He hissed venomously towards the young woman.

"Its Avada Kedavra." She cringed as this wicked spell came out of her mouth. For some reason seeing her shudder like that sent a strange sensation through his body. Did he get pleasure from seeing her writhe under his eyes.

"That's correct." He turned his face away from her and continued his lesson. Hermione let out a breath and remained quiet the rest of the lesson. Soon the bell rang and she gathered her things as quickly as could until his dark voice spoke from behind her.

"Granger, i want you to stay after class." Malfoy spoke harshly as he took a seat at his desk and began writing down the assignment for tomorrows class. Hermione gulped as she felt a cold sweat run down her back. What could he possibly want from her? She couldn't fathom why, and soon all of the students had made their way out of the classroom and it was just him and her. A few minutes passed by and she couldn't wait anymore for him to speak so she spoke up.

"What did you want from me Malfoy?"

"That's Professor Malfoy to you." He spat at her before standing up from his desk and making his way over to her. Even the way he walked made a shiver run down her spine. As he got closer she kept backing away until her legs were up against the desk and couldnt move back anymore. He stopped a few inched from her and began to stare at her, observing her features. She has filled out quite nicely, i would kill to see whats going on under that uniform of hers. He shook his head to rid himself of these strange thoughts. She felt his eyes trace every inch of her body as she tried to back up more but the desk wasn't allowing it.

"Aren't you going to ask?" He sneared at her. Ask what she thought? She was too preoccupied with the fact that the space between the two was getting alarmingly closer.

"Ask about how i became a Professor here? Its rather simple really. I ran into Headmaster McGonagall while i was in hiding from any of the death eaters that may still be around. She asked me if i would come back to the school and teach, seeing how i was close enough to Voldemort to know how to protect myself. I declined at first but i just couldn't keep running so i agreed." Malfoy looked at her, his face a sour expression. I love the look she is giving me, the fear in her eyes. He stepped closer to her as she put her arms out against his chest to stop him from getting any closer. Her wand was at her waist and her eyes darted from him to her wand giving him enough time to know what was going to happen. She removed a hand from his chest and went to grab for her wand but he was quicker than her as he grabbed her hand a forced it to her side. Reaching up from the other one he pulled it forcefully from his chest to her other side and pinned them there. He was much stronger than she.

"Let me go Draco." Her voice seethed with hatred as they were now pressed up against each other. She wriggled her body to try and get away but his masculine frame held her there against that desk. Malfoy leaned in and began to speak, his hot breath on her ear making her quake in fear as to what was about to come.

"I'm going to play with you, filthy mud-blood. You better hide from me or else when i catch you, you'll wish you never came back here." He cooed with malice in his voice. He then kissed her neck roughly. Eep! Hermione frantically began moving trying anything she could to get out of his grasp. Her leg came up and connected with his shin causing him to jump back and double over in pain. Hermione used this chance to grab her belongings and run out the door as quickly as she could.

"I'm going to find you, you fucking bitch and when i do you'll be mine!" Malfoy screamed at her as he watched her run out the door. He had always hated this girl, she was always better than him in everything. He envied the time those three spent together, and how he hated it. Deep down inside he wanted to take that girl for himself, torture her. She was mine, i was going to ruin her but Bellatrix did. I will right this wrong and crush her. I will crush her and take Potty and Weasel down too using their precious Princess. Draco cursed as he returned to his desk.

Hermione ran, tears stinging her eyes as she found her way back to the Gryffindor common room and threw herself onto her bed, closing the curtain and casting a quick silencing spell she finally let those tears that were threatening to spill over flow from her eyes. Why? Why did Malfoy do that? She rubbed her sore wrists from where he held them and she began sobbing more. She could still feel his body pressed up against hers, and the heat on her neck. After some time sobbing she gradually began to feel tired as she went to sleep.

Please don't let me be caught alone with him.
