Previously on Friendly Interference: chapter 1

Draco was thinking, Granger has lost her mind.

Hermione plopped herself down on Draco's couch. She asked for some tea.

Draco was still dumbfounded, but he brought her tea.

Patting the space beside her, Hermione asked Draco to sit down. "I have a story I need to tell you. And you'll probably want to be sitting."

Between sips of tea Hermione related what she thought to be the story of Friendly Interference.

When she finished her story, Draco laid his head back against the sofa. "They did all of that to bring us together?" He asked.

Hermione nodded. "If it hadn't worked this well, I would be ready to hex them all. Although I believe the plot was hatched by Mr. Nota and Mr. Potter. I believe Mr. Nott had a hand in it as well. We will be speaking to those three."

Draco pushed a piece of hair out of Hermione's face then kissed her softly on her mouth. She wrapped her arms around him grabbing his mouth with hers. Draco then put both hands in Hermione's hair pulling her into a sensuous kiss. When they broke apart, Draco leaned in to whisper in Hermione's ear. "Tell me again what you're going to do to me. Start at the part where you pull my clothes off…

Friendly Interference: chapter 2

Hermione wanted to give Draco his wish. But before that she wanted to run her tongue across his magnificent chest. She wanted to suck on his gorgeous nipples. She wanted to nibble his neck. She wanted to run her hands up and down his chest. Most of all Hermione wanted to touch his huge erection.

In the ten minutes they had sat there talking, the erection had grown rigid. This growth interested Hermione Granger very much. She put her hands on it. Draco had let her stroke him a couple of times. Then it had become too much for him.

He had groaned. "Granger, I want our first time to be about me taking care of you."

He had grabbed Hermione and led her to his bedroom. He sat down on the edge of his bed and pulled Hermione between his legs. Draco was almost in agony as Hermione's body brushed against his erect member. He undressed her slowly and sensually. He kissed her stomach. He kissed her breasts. He kissed between her legs. All the time rubbing his hands over her arse. He had Hermione moaning just as she had him moaning. Her moaning inflamed him even more.

When he had all Hermione's clothes off he had laid her gently on the bed nipping her up and down her body. Hermione had lost all her control. She lay there wriggling and thrashing while trying to get Draco's dick inside her.

Draco looked at her. She was laying spread eagle on his bed wide open for anyone to see. His eyes feasted on her. Looking at her slit made him drool. He could almost taste her. He was thrilled that she was there with him. He wanted to be the only wizard to ever again see Granger the way she was now. All that belonged to him.

/*/

At the first touch of his tongue on her slit Hermione had risen completely up off the bed moving so fast she'd almost broken Draco's nose. Draco had let his tongue do his talking. He explored her every crevice letting his tongue duel with her nub. Draco was bringing Hermione closer and closer to climax. Then, after an extended suck and one last flick of his tongue Hermione had let out a shriek and released her juices.

Draco was a Malfoy. He wanted his witch completely satisfied. However, while he had been taking care of Hermione his dick had actually stared to ache. He needed her and he needed her right then. Draco kissed his way up her body until they were face to face.

In the moment, Hermione had tried to go shy on him.

Draco had waited so long for her. They were finally together. He couldn't let that happen. He had pulled Hermione's chin around so they were looking into each other's eyes.

"Look at me Granger." Hermione brought her face around to stare at her new lover.

He whispered against her lips. "You never have to be ashamed to look at me or be with me. I'm not Weasley. What we do together is between us. Unless you want to shout about it to make Ilir jealous."

Hermione laughed. Draco had put her completely at ease.

Hermione knew she could trust Draco. The things they did together would not become Sunday afternoon fodder because of him.

As they kissed each other Draco pushed himself into Hermione. She had let out a large gasp as she grabbed onto him. Soon they were moving together. Each matching the other's movements. This was their first time and it was magical. Draco couldn't hold on. He was spitting his juices while egging Hermione on to climax. Seconds later she was releasing her juices as well.

Draco had fallen back onto the bed. He turned on his side to look at Hermione and she turned to look at him. Rubbing his hands up and down her arm, Draco made a statement. "This may not be the perfect time, but I want to ask before another git tries to steal you away. May I be included in your life? I am declaring my intentions. I would like for you to be my witch."

Hermione had been thrilled and had answered in the affirmative. "Yes Draco. I want you in my life. I want you as my wizard."

Their acceptance of each other had called for two more shags. Hermione being a witch of her word had promised to shag him multiple times. And she had. Not long after their fourth shag they had fallen asleep.

When they woke on Sunday. They had lain there for an hour discussing how each had walked around for months smitten with the other.

Hermione giggled when Draco mentioned how he wanted to accidentally hex Ilir.

"You couldn't have wanted to hex him any more than I wanted to hex Maeve. If she had gotten any closer to you at the club, you two would have been shagging."

It was Draco's turn to laugh.

"Would you like to go out to brunch or would you like to be spoiled?" asked Draco.

Hermione opted for being spoiled. She got up to take a shower while Draco summoned his house elf Major to fix breakfast for them.

When Hermione finished in the bathroom, Draco went to shower. She was still sitting on the side of the bed wrapped in a towel when he came out. He gave her a very curious look.

Hermione saw the look Draco had given her explaining her quandary. "I need clean clothes. Mine are soiled"

Draco had been amused. He wrapped Hermione in his arms smugly replying. "I know the Malfoy shag is powerful enough to erase memories. But are you or are you not a witch? Use a cleaning spell."

Hermione grinned as she cast a cleaning spell on her clothes. "Yes Malfoy. I do remember that I am a witch. It's you who should not forget it."

A short time later Major appeared with breakfast trays. Hermione and Draco enjoyed their first breakfast together.

Major had been very happy to serve Hermione. His elf magic made him aware this was the witch Master Draco had been pining for. The elf was very happy when his Master Draco was happy.

/*/

After breakfast they used the floo to go to Hermione's flat. She had insisted on changing clothes and freshening up.

Draco sat in the living room going through some of Hermione's Muggle magazines. The magazines had kept him occupied for a grand total of five minutes. Draco couldn't see the fascination Muggles had with the goings on of other people.

He chanced to pick up the television remote control. After several attempts, Draco had finally gotten the hang of it. He soon found himself going from channel to channel.

He had watched the Steamy Channel for a few minutes. It had been steamy enough to send stirrings to his lower body. Draco thought that the things on the Steamy Channel should not be on the television. They should be left behind closed doors. He quickly changed to another channel and found himself looking at a movie about a dragon who could speak. Draco laughed so hard Hermione had come running.

"What's the matter?" she had asked suspiciously.

With tears in his eye Draco replied. "Muggles think dragons can talk."

Hermione grabbed the remote. "No they don't. Muggles don't even think dragons are real."

Her answer had sobered Draco right up. "Why would the Muggles make a program about something they don't think is real?"

Sighing, Hermione sat down beside Draco. "The programs are for entertainment purposes only. They don't believe it. They make them for fun and profit."

"Oh!" was all Draco said.

/*/

It was 2:30 in the afternoon when Hermione and Draco agreed they should make the Sunday visit to Harry's house together. It was 2:45 when the new couple stepped out of the floo. They walked through to the living room holding hands.

They stepped into a room full of clapping and whistling. Hermione felt the red creep up her face while Draco could only grin.

Harry had spoken first, "So you two finally got there. Some of us were of the mind to turn you both into stone if you continued to ignore your feelings for each other."

Theo chimed in. "Draco. My wizard. You were a miserable git." He then turned to Hermione. "Please keep him happy Granger. He was two clicks away from being stunned. And not just by me."

Ilir stood up and came around to face his two friends. He held his hand out to Draco and clapped him on the shoulder. "I hope you know it was all done with the intention of making you and Hermione see what you meant to each other. Of course Hermione tumbled to it first. I wish you could have been there to see Harry and Theo's faces when Hermione asked if I was courting her. She was magnificent."

Ilir then turned and bowed to Hermione.

Draco wrapped his arm around Hermione. "It's good everything turned out right. Hermione was of a mind to hex first and ask questions later. I stopped her. You both owe me your lives."

Hermione nudged him in the side as they stood there with cheeky grins on their faces.

They all walked through to the dining room when Nigel called dinner a short time later.

There were a lot of zings and barbs shot back and forth across the dinner table that Sunday. Harry and Ilir had repeated the entire story for everyone's benefit much to the chagrin of both Hermione and Draco. Everyone laughed long and hard. It really was one of the best dinners shared among the friends. It ended with Draco and Hermione vowing playful vengeance on their friends.

After dinner Justin and Isaac got into a Quidditch discussion. They got so loud Harry told them to take that nonsense down to the pub because he didn't want to hear it. They had both apologized and picked up the less vocal game of Wizards Chess.

Hermione and Draco sat on the couch talking quietly to each other. Draco couldn't keep his hands off her. He kept touching her arm, her shoulder and her hair. He had leaned in to kiss her. Then he had pushed her hair back from her face.

He had declared his intentions to Hermione Granger and she had accepted. He still couldn't believe how his Saturday had ended and his Sunday had begun. Draco pretended to be angry with Harry and Ilir but in reality he was ecstatic over the outcome.

He looked up to see Theo, Harry and Ilir watching him and Hermione. He gave them all a cheeky grin. They had returned his cheeky grin with cheeky grins of their own.

Hermione excused herself to the kitchen to talk with Seana and Lucia. Both witches had smiled at Hermione when she came through the door. They had also teased her. Hermione felt herself going red again but she really didn't mind. She was more embarrassed that most of her friends knew what she and Draco hadn't been able to figure out..

Hermione explained how she had spent the last few months lusting after Draco being afraid he wasn't interested in her. "Until Draco admitted his feelings last night I thought it was all one sided on me. His confession was the impetus for spurring me into action."

Seana and Lucia understood. Seana couldn't resist saying, "We could see it so clearly from the outside. We couldn't imagine how you two kept ignoring it. No offense Hermione. But one night Harry and I laughed so hard at the way Draco drooled over you we couldn't get to sleep."

Then Lucia had added her comments. "We like Maeve but…. had she made any further moves on Draco we were going to hex her."

Hermione had hugged them both. It felt good to have everyone on her side.

/*/

It was getting late. Hermione wanted to spend some time with Draco before she went home to prepare herself for work in the morning so she excused herself from Seana and Lucia to go find Draco.

Draco smiled at her holding out his hand as she approached pulling her down beside him.

"Don't go making it hard for other wizards by spoiling Hermione rotten," remarked Harry smartly.

"I'm his witch," Hermione quipped. "He can spoil me as rotten as he likes. We are now going home to spend some time together while you three gits can go pound sand."

Draco grabbed and hugged Hermione after they stood up. The two called out their goodbyes and headed to the floo.

/*/

Harry, Ilir and Theo got very quiet after Hermione and Draco left.

"She's going to kill us all" remarked Theo.

"Only if Draco doesn't kill us first," quipped Harry.

Ilir chimed in last. "It's a good thing I wasn't really courting her. Draco was at the point where me being hexed was a very real possibility."

Harry had let out a boisterous laugh as the three shook hands all around. It was a job well done.

/*/

Hermione and Draco landed at his flat in a tangle. They weren't willing to wait one more minute to get intimate. Hermione and Draco had their clothes of by the time they reached the bed.

They felt each other. They kissed each other. They sucked each other. They made love for hours. Even after they had worn themselves out. Draco had still been trying to nibble Hermione's breasts. Giggling she had pushed him away.

"You're going to wear me out Malfoy."

"I don't want you to have any energy left for any other wizard."

When a slight frown crossed Hermione's face, Draco immediately assured her he had been joking. He hurriedly wrapped Hermione in his arms. "My sweet. I would never doubt you. We have committed ourselves to each other. I know you wouldn't turn to any other wizard. It was a thoughtless thing to say."

Hermione pulled him into a deep kiss and they had remained wrapped up in each other's arms for another thirty minutes.

It was soon time for Hermione to leave. Draco asked if he could escort her home, but Hermione assured him she would be fine. When she was ready, Draco walked her to the floo. They shared another long kiss before Hermione threw in her powder shouting home.

Draco called Major to clean up the bedroom while he took a quick shower. Draco was elated. He and Hermione had almost screwed everything up, but their friends had come through in the pinch. They had gotten him with Granger.

Draco let out a loud cheer causing Major had come running into the bathroom to check on his master. Draco had smiled at the elf telling him everything was fine.

Major had returned the smile. He knew his master was happy because Miss Hermione had come over. Major knew Master Draco had been wanting her over for a long time.

On Monday morning, Hermione and Draco found themselves excessively happy as they prepared themselves for the day. They both went through their day with smiles plastered on their faces.

Several times during the day chills had run down her spine when she thought about Draco's lovemaking. She looked forward to getting more of her wizard as soon as possible.

When Hermione looked up, her boss Adrian Pucey was standing in front of her. His mouth was moving. Hermione hoped he hadn't been talking long or he hadn't said anything of great importance.

Hermione offered an apology. "I missed that Adrian. What was it you said?"

"There is a Heads position opening up. Kingsley wants to give you the right of first refusal."

Hermione sat up straighter. "Head of what department Adrian?"

"The Department of Magical Transportation."

Hermione knew she didn't want to spend her entire career in MLE, but wasn't sure if she wanted to transfer to The Department of Magical Transportation (DMT). Even if it was a Heads position.

"Sounds interesting Adrian. I'll speak with Kingsley."

Adrian concurred with Hermione's decisdion. Speaking with Kingsley was definitely the way to go.

Hermione immediately sent Kingsley a memo requesting a sit down. Kingsley messaged her back with an appointment for Tuesday at 11:00. Hermione sent her confirmation right back.

/*/

Citing better now than later, Hermione began jotting down a few notes for the meeting. 1. She would commit to 1 year. After that she wanted to weigh her options. 2. She'd like to be able to submit proposals for modernizing the department. 3. She would prefer to remain on the right of first refusal list.

The only downside Hermione could see was the need to deal with Cormac McLaggen. Cormac was currently Assistant to the Head. Hermione knew if she got the position over him there would be problems. Cormac was so arrogant he would not stand still for a witch getting a position over him.

The more Hermione thought about the opportunity. The more excited she became. DMT was another of the Ministry departments which could do with a bit of updating. Hermione felt she was just the witch for the job.

Putting her notes aside, Hermione set off for DMT to see if she could sniff out any information. She headed for the lifts and had been in luck. An empty lift had just opened its doors. She had been deep in thought when she entered the elevator.

The elevator doors were closing when a hand reached in to open them again. Hermione was looking into the silver eyes of her wizard.

"Draco, what are you d-." Hermione didn't get to finish her sentence.

Draco had crossed the enclosure and fastened his lips on her mouth. They were in a lift in the middle of the Ministry. What was Draco thinking? She had resisted for exactly five seconds. Then her hands were in his hair and her lips were answering his.

Draco used his wand to stall the car where it was to murmur in Hermione's ear, "I needed you love. I want you so bad."

His words inflamed Hermione to the point she felt herself getting moist. Draco vanished her knickers and opened his robes to pull out his fully erect dick.

Hermione had gotten wetter.

Draco grabbed his witch pushed her back up against the wall, lifted her off the floor and penetrated her. Her gasp of pleasure drove him into a frenzy. He pushed. Hermione pushed. Draco thrust. Hermione had thrust back. Hermione was in a lift having sex with her wizard. And it was fantastic.

Draco was moaning in her ear as she felt herself peaking. "I'm there love. I'm there." Her words took Draco to his climax. With a final jerk, Draco spilled his liquids into his witch. They were both panting when they finished.

It had taken a minute to get their breath back. Draco's legs trembled as he set Hermione's feet back on the floor. He hugged and kissed her before stepping back. "Shame on you Granger. Entertaining your wizard on company time."

"Malfoy has put his witch in a compromising position which will not happen again," Hermione replied saucily.

They smiled at each other before casting cleaning spells on their clothes and their person. Draco waved his wand and the elevator started up again.

On her way out of the elevator Hermione left Draco with a cheeky remark. "You've left me without knickers. What shall I do?" Hermione giggled at the look on Draco's face as the elevator doors closed.

Hermione headed in the direction of DMT. Just her luck she met Cormac in the hall. As usual, Cormac tried becoming too familiar. Hermione had backed him right off. Laughing he said. "Same old shy Hermione."

"I'm not shy Cormac, she snapped. "I just don't like wizards pawing me."

Cormac ignored her comment.

To Hermione's surprise, Cormac was actually on his best behavior as he showed her around. He made one comment regarding the current Head but that was all. When it was done, Hermione thanked him for showing her around.

"Would you like to have drinks Hermione? We can go wherever you like."

Hermione thanked him again but declined his invitation.

Cormac bowed her out and returned to his office.

/*/

When Hermione got back to her desk she had two private Patronuses from Draco waiting to speak their messages. Hermione smiled as she listened to the first one. Draco told her their time in the lift had been amazing. She listened to the second message. It asked why she hadn't responded to him. She had smiled again. She was on her way to the owl room on her floor when another Patronus had shown up. This time it spoke the words. Where are you Granger?

In the owl room she wrote out the message. I was touring DMT. I've just got back to my desk. Is there anything wrong?

Hermione went straight to the lunch area from the owl room. She sat at a table with Justin, Ernie and Michael. They spent an enjoyable forty five minutes extolling the virtues of wandless magic over wand based magic. Hermione had enjoyed herself.

For the rest of the day she had worked on her reports. At 5:15 Cormac McLaggen showed up at her door to double check about going out for drinks. Hermione declined….again.

Cormac took it upon his self to have a seat. He and Hermione talked for approximately thirty minutes. He had just risen up out of his seat to leave when Draco appeared at the door.

Hermione saw anger fleetingly cross Draco's face, but he greeted Cormac without emotion. "McLaggen."

Cormac returned the greeting. "Malfoy."

Hermione smiled to herself. Two bulls.

Cormac excused himself with a wave.

Draco walked over to kiss Hermione. "Hello witch. I just stopped by to see if you wanted dinner?"

Before Hermione answered Draco's question about dinner she had a question. "What happened today? You had me worried."

Draco looked down at his feet. "Nothing happened. I just wanted you to know I was thinking about you." Lifting his head, Draco looked straight at Hermione.

She knew. She knew why he has sent the Patronuses. He wanted to be sure his witch wasn't in inappropriate company without her knickers. It was just a feeling but Hermione thought it was a feeling which was true.

On her way out of the elevator she had purposely reminded him he had vanished her knickers. It had probably driven him crazy all day. She knew Draco. He wasn't feeling insecure. He was feeling jealous.

She walked over to Draco. "You want to take me to dinner? Shall I stop by my flat to put on knickers?"

Draco shuffled from one foot to the other. "Maybe that's best."

Hermione grabbed her wand and purse so they could leave.

As they headed to the main floo Hermione made a snide comment. "Next time leave me with my knickers. That way you won't spend all day worrying."

Draco gave Hermione a weak smile. "Duly noted Granger. Now let's get to your flat."
