Chapter 2: This is it

It is almost six months when Hermione told her friends her plan and yet she hasn't done it yet. It's not that she's backing out, it's just she doesn't have enough courage to do it yet.

Of course some of her friends like Ron is still talking her out of her decision every now and then like last week when she and her friends got together to catch up on things. Sometimes she wanted to follow her friends' advice and get a normal boyfriend but until now she still couldn't find someone that got her attention or someone that made her heart skip a beat.

Don't get me wrong or anything, Hermione is not ugly in fact she got a lot of suitors since she developed into a beautiful and sexy woman that any girl would kill to have. Hermione also altered her appearance a bit like styling her hair into a bushy to soft curls cascading down her back. She's even applying small amount of makeup to lighten her angelic face and she's also not as conservative as before because now she's into fitting clothes and robes.

She's also working out to keep her body sexy and healthy and let's not forget that Hermione is rich because her family status is above average. All in all she is one delightful package that most men want to have. The thing is she's a know-it-all and a snob plus she's a well known architect in the wizard and muggle world. That's why some men felt inferior and afraid to court her because she's really hard to get.

While driving her new SUV to got to a dinner engagement, Hermione asked herself if her life is a blessing or a curse but quickly dismissed it because she could hear her stomach rumbling from hunger. She was invited by her boss to celebrate his birthday with everyone and told her that she could bring anyone she like because it would be a family gathering but as usual Hermione didn't bring anyone.

Hermione came by at around eight and was happily greeted by the host of the party and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Cast is a very powerful and a rich wizard family, and they love Hermione because she is a successful and a hard working woman. They even treated her like their own daughter and of course Hermione is very grateful for it.

"Mia! Did you bring someone with you?" greeted Mr. Cast

"As usual no one's with me" she replied

"You know Mia; we would be happy if you could present someone to us already" suggested Mrs. Cast.

"Don't worry 'ma' I will work harder to find someone" replied Hermione. "It looks like you have a lot of visitors 'pa', it wouldn't be too hard for me to find a suitable guy" she joked.

"Oh! Wait I have someone to introduce to you Mia, I know he would be a suitable for you because he's not only rich but handsome and have good manners too." replied Mrs. Cast. Hermione just smiled and excused herself thinking of what Mrs. Cast said.

She went to the table of her officemates and talked to them for a while then she went to the buffet table to get some food. She placed a lot of things in her plate that made other stare at her which she didn't pay much attention. She was about to leave when she saw her favorite food 'shrimps'.

She was hesitating if she would get it since it is the last one. When she decided to take it; she didn't notice the hand that was near it and stabbed the hand accidentally. Hermione was so embarrassed and apologized to the person without looking up.

"Good evening miss. I never thought I would see someone as beautiful as you eat that much and still keep her figure." Hermione was jolt out of her state and looked up when she heard his voice. She noticed that he changed especially his appearance. Draco is already six feet in height and his platinum blond hair is not gelled anymore.

Even if she's wearing a 3 inch heeled shoes, she still couldn't reach his chin. His body is also well developed and the most noticeable thing in his appearance is his eyes. Draco's eyes are still silver with blue specks if it hits the light.

They stared at each other for awhile but Hermione decided to break the eye contact. She also noticed that Draco didn't recognize her. Even if Draco helped them defeat Voldemort the golden trio is still cautious when they are around him.

As they continue to stare at each other Hermione had a naughty plan to teach Draco a lesson for being a jerk to her back when they were in Hogwarts. Even if it is too childish Hermione wants revenge on Draco for making her life miserable so she decided to take advantage of him by playing with him and what fun way to do it, by using seduction. She wanted to see his face when he finds out that the girl he's hitting on is the girl he used to

taunt back in school.

"So are you here with someone?" she asked and smiling secretly to herself while pretending to wait for the committee to fill up the shrimp plate.

"Nope but if you would accompany me then I would not be alone anymore." He said suggestively.

"Well if you're that lonely then I wouldn't mind." she smiled and handed him her plate and scanned the room for a place to eat. When she found none he told her to follow him upstairs because there is a small living room upstairs that they could use.

Hermione followed him and sat down on the long leather couch facing the window to see the view outside. She was taken a back at first because the view is very beautiful. She didn't notice Draco checking her out. When she faced him she noticed that he's staring at her. "You're just hungry so let's eat!" she said happily telling herself that she shouldn't be embarrassed because she is kind of attracted to him. 'Who wouldn't be? Any girl in their right mind would be attracted to those silver eyes of his.'

"Wait! Did I just think of him that way?" she asked herself without realizing she said it out loud.

"Think of who?" he asked a little confused of what she said.

"Nothing, just realized something." she smiled at him and continued to eat.

They continued eating and talking for a while but of course Hermione didn't tell him stuff that might make him recognize her or else her plan would fail.

"I believe we forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Draco Malfoy." he said as he kissed her hand while looking at her eyes. Hermione was shocked to see Draco's gentleman like behavior. She wasn't expecting this kind of attitude coming from him and almost gave her identity away but she quickly covered it.

"Hi I'm Her..Mia!"

"Hermia?"

"Yes...I…I...Mean No just Mia, Mia Ranger?

"Mia Ranger? Nice meeting you." he smile and laughed at her antics that made her blush because she never heard Draco laugh before except when his happily making her cry but this laugh is different. It is kind of soothing and nice…

He stopped laughing and apologized to her for his rude behavior. He stared at her again that made her look away. Then they heard a soft music downstairs, Draco asked her if she wants to dance but she declined. Since this is the 'Draco Malfoy' we're talking about he never gives up and started to persuade her to dance so in the end she stood up and danced with him.

They danced gracefully as Draco leads Hermione. She couldn't stop herself from blushing and she didn't know if it's because of their closeness or because of his hand on her waist of course these didn't go unnoticed by Draco so he pulled her closer to him.

Hermione was hoping that he would not notice her fast heart beat. All of her plans of playing with him slipped out of her mind as he moved her gracefully.

As the music ended Draco started to guide Hermione to the couch. He leaned forward to capture her lips but he was stopped by her finger.

Hermione was back to normal when the music faded and noticed Draco leaning forward. She placed her finger on his lips to stop him. She smiled seductively and moved away from him a little bit.

"Don't look at me like that." Draco's expression changed into something serious.

"Like what?" she asked innocently

"Like you're wondering how it will be like if I really did kiss you"

"I'm not—"but he cut her off. "Don't try to deny it Mia, I'm wondering too. Care to give it a try?" he suggested.

"I don't think so. Something about curiosity and cats, you know." Draco pretended to think of a come back and said "How would you know if you won't try."

"There's a time and place for everything" she retorted back

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

"Regret is always in the end" she said. Hermione is a girl who doesn't back down in challenge and Draco is challenging her right now.

"I can't think of anything anymore but I'll tell you a secret." Hermione was kind of disappointed since Draco is already giving up but she's really curious about the secret his going to tell her.

"What is it?" she boldly asked

Draco leaned closer in her ear and whispered "I can never resist temptation and you, Lady, are very tempting," and he kissed her ear. Hermione was surprised at his actions but before she could react he had already claimed her lips.

Draco didn't waist any time and placed his hand on her waist to deepen the kiss. 'Better be sorry later, than to forever wonder' she didn't know if she said it out loud or she just thought of it but she dismissed it and told herself to just enjoy the ride and she shouldn't waste the opportunity that was placed in front of her.

Hermione placed her arms on his neck and returned his kiss and she would admit that Draco's kisses is the best because his kisses is full of lust but he's not taking advantage of it. He captured her soft lips while waiting for her to dictate the pace.

Hermione buried her hands through his soft hair and enjoyed how he sucked and played with her tongue while his other hand explored her body. She stopped for a while when she noticed that he had already opened and lowered her robe that exposed her chest but continued as he kneaded her hardened nipples that her bra failed to hide.

"We must stop…" he said in between kisses.

"Yes…" she agreed but she still couldn't let go of him. Hermione pulled away a little and saw that his eyes swept over her petit form. She moaned like she was not in her right mind and was about to hug him when Draco held her hands tightly.

"Draco…"

"Shhh…" He placed his fingers on her mouth to silence her so he could talk to her. "I don't want to stop either. But a few kisses more will make me totally lose control, Love."

Hermione felt her body was on fire. She didn't know that Draco could affect her like this. He grabbed her hand and holds it tightly. She was confused and was about to ask when he beat to her to it. "We'll go to my place, so we need to apparate."

"Wait"

"Hmm…don't tell me you've changed you mind. You were so hot just a few moments ago. Merlin only knows what might happened if I didn't stop you. I just don't want someone to disturb us here but if you're willing to do it here…" he paused for a while waiting for her reaction.

Hermione wanted to admit that she was having second thoughts about this because she is going to do it with 'Draco ferret Malfoy' but isn't this what she wanted, to be turned into a woman by a man without emotions involved. She feels like losing control on her mind and her body is moving according to its desire.

"Make up your mind love, time is wasted." She sighed heavily and followed Draco down stairs to the front lawn towards his car, but before they exited the main door Mrs. Cast called them.

"There you are Mia, I've been looking everywhere for you. I was beginning to worry." Said Mrs. Cast "I see you've met Draco Malfoy, don't you remember Mia, he's the one that I was suppose to introduce to you and he's the—"but was cut off by Draco because he knows that it would take a lot of time for them to be introduced again.

"Mia's not feeling well," replied Draco "She needs to go home."

"Mrs. Cast placed her hands on Hermione's forehead since she saw Mia's flushed face. "Wait here Mia, I'm just going to get you some medicine."

"No need, I gave her some already" replied Draco. The older woman nodded but disapproves of her driving home alone. Hermione's plan is to just meet up with Draco then go to his place and leave after everything is done. He doesn't need to know where she lived because it is only a fling and a plan of revenge.

"No Mia, I won't allow you to drive at or apparate at home. I will just send your car tomorrow, Draco please take care of her."

When they stepped outside and found his car Draco opened the door of his brand new sports car for her and closed it as soon as she seated herself in. Silence enveloped the both of them and Hermione was surprised that he didn't hear her raging heart beat because of her nervousness of what might happen next.

"Relax" she was surprised when Draco grabbed her hand and calmed her down. Time passed by quickly as they reached the Malfoy manor. She was very nervous because it is her first time and soon as Draco parked his car in front of the manor and went out to open her door and assist her as she step out of the car, her heart raced even faster.

'This is it and there's no backing out' is the last thought that raced through Hermione's head.

A/N: I didn't mean to make Draco so naïve but I think it's more fun that way. I also didn't mean for Hermione to be changed this way but please bear with me. Anyway I don't expect everyone to like my story so comments and suggestions are happily accepted.
