Ch 2:

Not a Chance

I stumbled backwards in terror as I tried to escape his powerful grasp on my waist. I felt the moistness in my between my legs expand and thought to myself 'Hermione, get a grip on yourself! You hate this boy!" I hated being in this position, held against the body of a man I both hated and lusted after. I found myself in a brief moment of strength, pushed him back and drew my wand in a single motion. "Show off Malfoy or I will hex your ass so badly you won't walk straight for a month!" I shouted with an over empowering boom that echoed off of all the walls in the pub and caught the attention of many.

"Now, now Granger," Draco cooed "no need to get your nickers in a twist. Continue on, I just wanted to let you know how exceptional you look this evening." I slowly dropped my wand to my side with caution, reading him carefully to see that he did not draw his own. When I noticed he had no intention of harming me I began to make my way past him with a careless grace when I heard his voice again. He whispered out and an incredibly seductive tone, "Though, I do wish you would sit and have a drink with me."

"What do you want with my company Malfoy?" My voice demanded harshly, "I am just a mud-blood, remember?"

"I know! Not my usual style, but you just look do damn fine tonight." He retorted with such deliverance I could tell he had practiced the line in his head. It was nothing more than a slow and intentional lie.

"Ya right!" I snapped, sucking in with a cold and emotionless sarcastic tone. I was aroused and not in the mood to play his dumb mind games so I began to push past again making way for the door, just a few feet beyond him.

"Wait, I will tell you the truth if you sit down, please!" Begging was such a cute shade on him. He patted the seat next to him gently and looked me deep in the eyes. His eyes were captivatingly blue and dazzled me to the point that I wanted to obey, but then I saw the flicker of pain and desire in his eyes and instinctually found myself making my way towards the cold leather of an uncomfortable bar stool.

'What am I doing?' I thought to myself in sheer terror, 'sitting down to a drink with my natural enemy? The slayer of all muggle borns?' That was shockingly out of character, even for a girl like me with very few defining traits and most of them rational. How could I betray my own rationality like that? He was just so darn cute and being here without Ron or Harry I was weak to my own feminine instincts.

"You better have a good explanation for this Malfoy, or a lot of people will have a lot of reputation ruining things to say about it." I scolded him. I hoped and prayed that it came out as half bored as I meant it to, if even for a second I let him sense my excitement he would later crucify me.

"Okay, if I am wasting your time you can feel free to leave." He retorted in a cool dry tone. "However you seemed as drained and lonely as I feel right now and I figured you might actually be an okay person to talk to. I have heard good things about you." His tone seemed almost hopeful and as though he genuinely wanted me to be there.

The feeling of being needed by THE DRACO MALFOY was almost unbearable. I nearly forgot about the wetness between my legs as I gazed into his eyes and felt my heart slowly being to melt. 'Get a grip on yourself!' I snapped at myself mentally. 'You have a wonderful boyfriend who loves you very much! Don't screw yourself up. Don't fall in love with him.' "Tell me, what is wrong? " I asked, trying hard to make it seem like I was only half interested.

"Well…" He began slowly, unsure of himself all of a sudden, "My whole life my family has never pressured me into anything, but now that we have graduated they want me to rush the rest of my life. My mother is agonised by the fact that I have not found a girl to love and bring home to her yet and is pushing me to find a love. My father, he doesn't want me to marry for love; however he does want me to marry. He wants me to marry Pansy to keep the bloodline pure.

"I have never been less interested in anyone then I am Pansy, and I'm no longer sure about the bloodlines thing. I mean, I have been awful to you but I was always more because I had to rather then I wanted to be. When I marry I want it to be because I have found a beautiful woman to love and hold the rest of my life. I want to marry a girl I could wake up to in the morning, see her looking like a disaster and smile to myself thinking 'That is MY girl.'"

A few more drinks into the night and Draco and I were getting a good buzz on. I had helped him work through most of his problems and was well into a discussion about my relationship with Ron. Who was this boy I was talking to? He most certainly was not the boy I despised my whole life; he was a boy I had never even seen before. He was a cute, sweet, lost boy whose attention I craved like crazy.

Growing tired and suddenly becoming aware of the fact that it was near closing time I turned to Draco and slurred in a drunk and half coherent way " It's getting late, I should head back to my room and sleep"

"Okay, but let me walk you back to your room, you are drunk and I don't want hard to find you on your way." He replied as though he was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing. So I nodded gently accepting his invitation and we made our way from the bar up to my room on the third floor. When we reached my room I felt Draco's hand lock tightly on mine in a commanding way, reminding me of the wetness between my legs. He lend in so I could feel his whole body right close to mine. His lips rubbed against my ears as he whispered "Thank you for being an amazing person, I had a great time tonight".

As he pulled back from my ear I felt his face turn gently as he locked his lips on mine in a gentle and passionate kiss. I felt the wetness began and as his hand trailed down my body towards the hem of my dress and I felt his hand begin to wander up my dress. All of a sudden I became conscious of what I was doing. I gripped his hand firmly to stop it in his path. I pulled away from the kiss and snapped "Not a Chance in Hell!"
