I awoke the next morning with Draco's arms around me, My legs were tangled together with his.
I carefully broke free in an effort not to wake him. I crawled out from the depths of the bed and over to where my clothes were. I pulled the red nighty over my body and tried to restrain my hair with a rubber band.
I was splashing my face with some cold water when I felt his arms snake around my hips just like they had done before and I felt his cool minty breath on my neck.
"Going somewhere?"
I turned to face him, his hair disheveled but his eyes were still burning.
"I'm going back to my room"
He smiled and kissed down my neck.
"What if I don't want you to go back to your room?"
I let out a giggle and replied
"I have to go back to my room whether you like it or not!"
I kept on remembering snippets of last night every time I looked into his eyes. His lips on mine, my arms entwined with his.
"We really should do this again some time"
I gave him a small smile and then disappeared out of the bedroom door and sauntered back into my room.
I tried to open the door as quietly as possible trying not to wake Ginny but as I turned around she was already staring at me in a curious fashion.
"So what did you get up to last night to Hermione?"
I was thinking hard to try and come up with an explanation to my late night gallivantings.
"Um... nothing I was just looking for my purse"
She looked at me smiling
"You were looking for your purse all night were you?"
I grimaced in a desperate and last attempt at seeming plausible
"...Yeah"
She rose from her seat on the bed and began circling around me like a vulture and I was her prey.
"You were up all night in the hotel looking for your purse in that skimpy dress?"
She knew I wouldn't be seen dead in this dress in public, she had caught me, which was inevitable.
"Ok ... ok I was with someone!"
She sat back down on the bed again in excitement and anticipation.
"With who?"
I shifted uncomfortably on the spot slowly melting under her gaze.
"I can't tell you"
She raised her eyebrows in surprise but she must have already guessed what I had been up to last night.
"But I am guessing you had a lot of fun with this mystery person?"
I giggled at her inquisitive expression and sat down next to her on the bed.
"Yeah I did have lots of fun thanks Ginny"
She was clearly getting annoyed that I wasn't giving her any details but last night was a secret that I wasn't going to tell anyone.
That morning I went down to breakfast feeling happy and satisfied with Ginny right beside me. We sat down at the table where Harry and Ron were already at.
"Hey guys how was your night?"
Ron looked up from his very full plate of sausages and replied,
"Fine thanks how about yours?"
Ginny looked at me and tried hard not to laugh
"I slept very well but I don't think Hermione got much sleep."
I kicked Ginny under the table causing it to shudder slightly. I took a sip of water and then began to eat aswell.
"So what are we all doing today?"
Harry looked up at me with an annoyed expression across his lips.
"Skiing with the Slytherins"
I looked around the room in search of Malfoy but I couldn't see him, perhaps he hadn't come down yet.
"Oh"
I tried to sound annoyed but it didn't really bother me that much. Moments later Draco strode into the room and pulled up a chair next to Blaise Zabini.
I decided not to make eye contact with him and continued eating my breakfast. Even though I couldn't see his face it felt like his eyes were burning holes in my back and that he was waiting for me to turn around.
After breakfast me and Ginny headed back up to our rooms and got ready for the day ahead of us. We had been told to dress very warmly as it was well below -5 outside.
As we both dressed Ginny didn't say a word but she kept on smiling at me she was asking questions with her eyes and not with her mouth.
"Hey Ginny have you seen my purse? I did bring it back with me last night I'm sure"
Ginny shook her head in amusement of the fact that I had misplaced it a second time.
"Oh well I'm sure it will turn up"
When we were both ready we joined the rest of the group in the entrance of the hotel, everyone one was chatting away and and that moment II accidentally caught Draco's eye, I gave him a small smirk but then looked away.
Then an older man, he must have been in his late 40s walked in through the double glass doors. I think he was the instructor there was another slightly younger man standing behind him.
"Right everyone follow me!"
Everyone was shoving and pushing trying to reach the exit, me and Ginny just waited until everyone else had already gone and our path was clear.
It was was freezing outside but luckily the acrtic wind didn't affect me much seeing as I was wearing so many layers. But some of the Slytherin girls who had still opted to show a bit of flesh were shivering.
The man started to speak again.
"Right I want everyone to follow me, we aren't going to start skiing yet we are just going to do some practices and demos."
Everyone followed him as he went around the corner. There lots of ski lifts going up and down the alabaster mountain but we weren't heading for them. We were all huddled together and were waiting for instructions.
"Right I want every Slytherin boy to pair up with a Gryffindor girl and every Gryffindor boy to pair up with a Slytherin girl."
Many groaned in objection and slowly walked over to the nearest person available. I saw Ginny partner up with Blaise Zabini and then I heard a voice cool and crisp behind me
"Looks like you've got me Granger"
I didn't even bother turning around I knew who it was, his arrogant tone always gave him away.
"Looks like I have"
Ginny was watching me intently and gave me a suggestive smirk. I turned away from her and looked back over towards the instructor.
"I want the girls to step into the skis and the boys make sure they don't fall."
I stepped into the skis that were layed out beside me and Draco held onto my arm as I did so. He then told us to lean to the right and for our partners to make sure that we didn't fall.
Most people just held onto their partners shoulders but Draco rested his hands firmly on my hips as I leaned to the right I looked at hime as he did so and he smiled back at me, his eyes gleaming with lust.
As I came back up to my centre of gravity I put my hands on Draco's and pulled them up away from my hips so people didn't start watching.
"Keep your hands further up Malfoy!"
Then we all leaned to the left and I felt his hands slide way to far up and were now resting on my chest, I then stood up straight and then pulled his hands back to the place I had left them in.
"I thought you said leave my hands further up."
I turned round to face him again he knew exactly what I had meant he was just being his normal arrogant self.
"You knew exactly what I meant!"
"I think I am quite sure I don't know what you mean."
I swatted his hand away as it started to creep further up again.
He didn't try anything after that and I spent the rest of the morning with Ginny neither of us having much experience skiing before so we both made fools of ourselves together.
We went in the cafe for lunch and lined up in the que. I reached inside my pocket in search of my purse and then remembered that I hadn't brought it with me because I didn't know where it was.
"Hey Hermione it's fine I'll lend you the money"
"Thank you so much I promise I will pay you back."
But at that moment Malfoy appeared at my side
"Looking for this Granger?"
He handed me my purse and he winked at me. Ginny's face lit up at the realisation of who I had spent last night with. I knew it was obvious now and there was no point in me trying to deny it.
"You didn't? Draco Malfoy? Hermione I would never of guessed"
I put my fingers to my lips telling her to be quiet because I didn't want anyone esle to find out what had happened last night, especially not Harry and Ron.
"Ginny keep it down I don't want Harry and Ron finding out!"
She smiled at me as she flicked her fiery hair back from around her face.
"So how was it?"
I hit her with my tray and shoved her to move along in the line. I was laughing inside though I knew as soon as we were in the confines of our own room I would have to spill.
...
Later on in the afternoon when our session for the day had finished me and Ginny went back up to our rooms. We walked in the door and out of the corner of my eye I saw something layed out on my bed.
Ginny noticed my sudden pause and stepped infront of me to discover what I was gawping at
"No way!"
"I can't believe how pretentious he is I mean that is just ridiculous and you know it to!"
I walked over to the bed and picked up the underwear set that was layed out. I couldn't believe this it was so... so... Malfoy.
"Did he put that there?"
I looked over at Ginny with a confused expression
"No Ginny it was someone else. Of course it was him"
Ginny laughed at my response realising how stupid she had been to suggest it was put there by someone else.
"Well Hermione I didn't think you were that type"
I hit her with my bag and she laughed falling onto her bed.
"What does he expect me to do with it?"
"Eat it Hermione he wants you to wear it you idiot!"
I looked at her in disgust and tossed the skimpy duo to the side.
"Not likely!"
Ginny rolled her eyebrows and gave me a disapproving stare
"Why don't you just live a little Hermione I mean he seems to really have taken an interest in you"
I scoffed at her.
"Oh the Hogwarts womanizer has taken an interest in me, oh that makes me feel so special"
"Well it didn't seem to bother you last night"
I was hurt by her direct and being honest true words. She could see the distress on my face and went to go and stand next to me.
"Hermione I just think, that it would be fun, you did say you had a lot of fun last night"
I figured that I might as well try it on before I dismiss the idea completely and last night was, amazing. Anyway I really did want this week to be one to remember.
...
I looked at myself in the full length mirror and couldn't really understand how he knew my size, Right then I heard to soft bangs coming from outside of the bathroom.
I quickly scampered outside to see if Ginny was ok.
"Ginny are you ok"
I couldn't see her until I came all the way around the corner and I leapt back in embarrassment when I saw Malfoy standing in the doorway. His looked so pleased with himself. I can't believe he just saw me wearing that!
"Looking goof Granger!"
He made me so angry the way he was always so sure of himself the whole time.
"Bugger off Malfoy!"
I heard the door close a few moments later and I came out from behind the corner now wearing a dressing gown.
"Ginny why did you let him in?"
"Well I am sorry, I didn't know it was him and how was I to know you were going to jump out inyour underwear?"
I was so embarassed I can't belive he had actually seen me trying it on.
"You gave him a preview just think of it like that"
Ginny may be annoying at times but she could be very funny sometimes. I glared at her, but she knew I was doing so in an affectionate way.
I decided to just try an forget about it. We were coming back up from the restaurant and then Malfoy bumped into me into the corridor, luckily Ginny was a few steps ahead of me and didn't noticed.
His hand joined with mine for a split second and then he was gone, but he had left something behind. I opened my hand and found a crumpled piece of paper that was folded of centre a number of times.
I unfolded the scrappy piece of paper to discover what was written on the inside.
'meet me tonight, Last night was great"
I had no real idea what I was getting myself into but Ginny seemed to be getting a lot of fun out of it and to be honest so was I.
I was pondering whether to show Ginny the note or not. Would she just tell me to go without any really thought of what the consequences could be.
I had already decided that I was going to meet him again I just didn't wanted to admit it to myself. I caught up with Ginny and already having made my decision I decided to show her the note.
"Hermione are you going to meet him?"
I nodded with a huge smile on my face.
"Well have fun!"
"I am planning to"
It was getting later and Ginny was insisting that I got glammed up but I was apprehensive about her constant application of lipstick and mascara. But when she was done I was pleasantly surprised when I looked in the mirror I thought I looked nice.
I was still not really sure what was going on between me and him at the moment but I was just going with the moment.
"I hope you have a very enjoyable night Mione!"
She cooed as I walked down the dimly lit corridor.
Every step I took I came up with another reason why this was a bad idea but yet I kept on walking.
I knocked on his door and moments later he let me in, he could see that I was slightly uncertain about was what about to happen. He reasured me when our lips collided together in a heat filled embrace. His tougue pushed my lips open and he won the control with his forceful approach, but I didn't care.
I picked me up and carried me inside his room but did not put me on the bed once again he slammed me up against the wall, he obviously liked being rough.
"Is it alright if my hands go upwards now?"
I laughed and nodded because I couldn't catch my breath to reply with a verbal response.
He hands started to make their way upwards once again but I didn't stop him mid-way this time. He pushed one of the straps aside on my shirt.
"You're not wearing what I left for you!"
"I didn't want to give you the satisfaction"
He laughed and it ran musically through the room and made me feel much more sure about what I was doing than I had done five minutes ago. His hand was running around my back every bone in my body was telling me to leave. I knew I was going to get hurt... but was I. If I was so sure that I was then I wouldn't have come here in the first place, perhaps he really had changed.
I wrapped my legs around his waist and pushed his shirt aside. He smelled like oak and tobacco the combination of the two was extremely sensuous.
My hands ran through his platinum hair and then ran around his neck. my eyes closed and I lost all control
...
Draco's POV.
I awoke early the next morning and left the room with Hermione still fast asleep on the bed. I crept into the room next door and saw Blaise Zabini waiting for me.
"So did you do it?"
I nodded.
"Look Blaise I am not so sure I want to go through with this I mean I really like her!"
"To late now Malfoy you're not backing out on this one"
"Blaise we can't go through with this it's just too... I care about her I wont let you do this!"
With that I left the room and went back to join a sleeping Hermione on my bed.
Next chapter will be up soon. I hope you all enjoyed it, reviews would be much appreciated good or bad :)
