A/N: It all belongs to JRK, I'm just playing with them.
PROLOGUE:
Draco looked up from his orgasm induced haze to find Hermione looking for her shoes.
"Come back to bed love, I'll help you find them when the sun is up," he murmured into his pillows.
"You know I can't stay I need to get home and go to bed, there's a department wide meeting tomorrow, which you also need to be at," she chided. "Go back to sleep" she whispered on her way to the fireplace.
Their tentative friendship was first. An acknowledgement here and a kind gesture there. The first time they had sex wasn't even because they were drunk or forced together under some outrageous circumstances, like a marriage law. No, they got into the sack because Draco was bent over Harry and Ginny's coffee table looking for a fallen piece of quiche. The perfection of his ass just drove Hermione over the edge. He was so attractive and so charming, when he wanted to be, she just started to flirt a little. A little flirting turned in a little propositioning on his part and they ended up in his flat stripping each other.
While it wasn't her first time, it felt like it, minus the pain. Draco just knew how to touch a woman. Pretty soon once was not enough. From a tentative friendship they developed in, to put it plainly, fuck buddies.
Obviously no one knew about it but there were inklings. Ron wouldn't look at her for month after Ginny filled him in and Harry just snickered whenever one brought the other's name up in conversation. Overall, the people that knew them just never broached the subject, ever.
It was wonderful for both parties. Draco always had a willing bed partner and Hermione had someone to relieve her of everyday stress. The situation was reaching its third, extremely agreeable month, until…
