Disclamer-I don't own Harry Potter.

Dealing with It

A cute Hermione/Draco one-shot.

Hermione was wandering through the halls of Hogwarts, with her head in the book. She was headed out on to the ground to join Harry and Ron at Hagrid's hut. As she turned a corner, she walked straight into a very solid chest. Loosing her balance she landed on the floor, her book flying across the corridor. She looked up to see just who she had run into.

There stood the five people that she least wanted to run into. Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, Blaise and Malfoy.

" Watch it Mudblood." sneered Pansy. " Draco is going to have to burn those clothes now you've touched them." They all laughed apart from Malfoy who looked down at her with sympathetic eyes. Almost saying sorry. Hermione still sprawled on the floor, with her hair a mess. And a look of worry on her face.

" Hey Draco what you want us to do with her?" Crabbe asked, as he and Goyle yanked Hermione up off the floor.

"There is a broom cupboard just up the hall. Do you wanna transfigure her into a mop or something and leave her there?" Blaise asked the idea growing on him every second.

"You guys go ahead, I'll deal with the Mudblood my self." he said to the others a smirk sliding on to his face.

" you sure mate?" Blaise questioned. Usually Draco let Crabbe and Goyle deal with the riff raff that pissed him off, for him to want to deal with Granger himself the situation didn't bode well for the head girl.

" Yeah" Draco said, " Go. I'll catch up later."

Crabbe and Goyle let go of Hermione quickly, causing her to slide down the wall and slump on the floor. The three boys made their may down the hall.

" Ill see you later Draco." Pansy croon. Nipping his ear and then running her hand over his chest. Before disappearing down the corridor after the boys.

" Yuk." Draco exclaimed and then wiped his ear where Pansy had nipped him .

Holding out a hand to help Hermione off the floor, he asked " Hey are you ok, I'm sorry about that 'Mione."

" Yeah, I'm fine." she said brushing off her skirt, and pushing her hair away from her face. Finally she looked at him and smiled.

"You handled that very well Mr. Malfoy." she gave him a smile.

" Yeah, well…" as he went to pick up her book, " I can't wait until the end of this pointless war, so we can tell the world." he handed her the book and then wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her against her body. " So we can hold each others hands in public, and I can kiss you and not have to worry if my father will show up and kill you"

She smiled and raised her hand and brushed his cheek, " I know Draco, but now it's safer that people don't know about us." she turned to leave.

She felt a hand close around her wrist, she turned to look at Draco, and found his lips inches from hers.

" Draco, we'll get caught…" she said urgently and then got cut off, by one of the earth shattering kisses that Draco gave her so she couldn't form a coherent thought.

He pulled back slightly and rubbed his nose against hers, " I'll take that chance, it's well worth it." Giving her no time to respond, he picked the kiss back up and deepened it. He backed her against the wall, the passion building in the kiss.

"Draco," Hermione managed to get out, putting a hand on his chest to hold him a little away from her. " What would you say if one of your posse came back here to look for you?" She gasped as he lightly bit that place on her neck, where he knew she liked it.

He smiled into her neck and then pulled back, to look into her hazy eyes.

"I'd say I was dealing with you." He smirked and continued to kiss the girl who had fixed everything in his life, had made it better. And he was determined to spend forever with her.

Not my best, but short and sweet.

Please Review. Even if it's only a few words, that would be great.
