A/N: So, I finished it. It's a little short, but if I'd let it go on much longer, it would've been awkward and unwieldy. Sorry. Thanks for reviewing, .

When Hermione did notice it, she didn't really pay much mind at first. But then the Shakespeare started to getting to her. She was reading, lost in the webs of tender fancies and ardor of old, insulated from everything around.

And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare as any, she belied beyond false compare.

She sighed heavily, briefly indulging in a woefully romantic fantasy. The library was peaceful, unbroken by conversations. Apparently, though, the quiet was not to be.

"Granger."

"Yes, Draco?" He threw his blanket off slightly, dragging himself a little closer to where she sat. "Whatcha reading?"

She raised an eyebrow. He wanted to know what she was reading? Why, for Merlin's sake? It occurred to Hermione, however briefly, that he was being very casual today, moving a whole lot closer, touching her even, and maybe Harry had spiked his drink in the name of Christmas fellowship.

"Uh, I just finished reading Sonnet 130." She almost stammered. Draco grinned. "I'm reading '696 Jinxes, Hexes, and Spells for the Saucy Sorcerer'."

She barked in laughter, startling even herself in her loudness. "The Saucy Sorcerer, Draco? Really?" He smirked. "Yes, Granger, really." Lupin muttered something about wizard fetishes with alliteration.

Draco snickered at that before Hermione broke in again, her curiosity getting the best of her. "What on earth is in there?" He smirked lasciviously, attempting to get a rise out of her. She rolled her eyes.

He then decided to in for the shock factor.

"Bondage spells."

Behind them, Lupin was roaring with laughter as Hermione Granger choked on her hot chocolate.

She attempted to calm herself. "Real mature, Malfoy." He shot another smirk at her before attempting to get another dig. "Wanna a demo? I ll be gentle, I promise." He grinned, waggling his eyebrows ridiculously. She smothered a laugh before coolly tossing out a rejoinder. "No, I prefer to be on top." Lupin gasped before collapsing into hilarity again.
Draco couldn't help himself. His mouth gaped open and shut like a fish, one of the reasons being that he had just had a flash of just that. Hermione grinned and left, presumably to go put her cocoa away.

Damningly provocative, that minx was.

Behind him, Lupin cleared his throat, apparently recovered from his violent fit of laughter. He turned and glared at him, which did nothing to remove the gleam in Lupin's eyes. Draco lifted his book, contemplated the worth of throwing it at Lupin and then decided he really didn't care all that much. He stood up to put it away, just as Lupin spoke.

"As amusing as it is to watch you two battle it out, I really don't think the attraction will go away. If anything, you're getting closer." Lupin then proceeded to grab another book off of a pile and flip through it, marking certain areas.

Draco stared at him, and then left to go find Granger.
